Chapter 4: Pointless Journey?
It's been 3 days since I arrived in this world and started walking.
I have been able to get good sleep and eat edible food even though I didn't feel hungry for whatever reasons.
Well I do know it's with the help of my Unique Skill [Chosen One] which didn't make me hungry but I still had a habit of eating snacks and meals three times a day, so trying to force myself to eat everyday even when I am not hungry makes me kinda inhumane.
I am trying to keep my humanity with me since I am still a human of my world and not of this world.
I don't care about what other humans might think of me but I believe it is my responsibility to choose whatever I want to be.
I also gained two new common skills called [Running] and [Swimming] which helped me to ease my energy and mental health expenditure on my journey.
I am still following Athena's instructions to survive since I am in an entire different world and the great thing is that I don't have to feel lonely since I have two "Smaller Canis Lupus" with me two accompany me at my journey.
The only problem was that what stood in front of me were barren lands with no forest or even grass. It was a totally dry land with scorching heat.
I used [Heat Nullification] and [Exhaustion Nullification] to lessen my mental stress.
I also created myself new clothes, all in black to wear including my sword that has roughly 100,000 EP and myself standing at 300,000 EP so potentially no monsters are daring to face us or attack and ambush us.
The sword was nameless since it's a spare weapon I created using my Unique skill [Creator] and my black outfit is also an enchanted armour.
The idea was from my previous world so I tried replicating it and it was successful.
The black mask was made out of the highest quality magisteel melted into ultra soft magisteel to give a comfortable feeling while wearing it including the gold marks on my mask that could absorb magic passively as a magic power bank for spare use.
The higher ranked monsters might be another case but they prefer to talk telepathically than to immediately attack each other, and with my skill [Telepathy] I could convince the monsters to let us pass peacefully and not many monsters would even try to attack humans unless they attack first.
Well humans of this world seems to be total assholes so they were wary of me which did make me sad but these two puppies and Athena cheered me up.
"Yosh, I will do my best to survive in this world. Kuhahahahaha, I, Y/N will be the best Hero ever."
"Mark my words for my legendary tales would be told after I die for centuries."
I took my first step at the drought lands as my journey to the west has started.
____________________________________
Timeskip to 38 th day after world transportation:
I looked at the sea that was frozen and the other part was burning in flames as that went upto the how far my eyes could gaze.
I blankly gazed at the horizon as the cold waves of water kissed the warm currents of breeze.
What in the living hell happened here!?
[Answer. A possible fight between Catastrophe class monsters might have taken place.]
[According to the mana signature the number of monsters that fought to cause this scenario is two.]
[Recommendation: Master may absorb the magicules that were released during the fight to grow more stronger]
[Proceed with Recommendation?]
"Well I might as well get stronger from these spoils of fights."
"Yes proceed"
[Absorption of surrounding magicules at the highest possible rate]
[Time estimated to absorb all magicules within the radius of 1000 kms is 550 minutes]
"That's around 9 hours and 10 minutes, well might as well explore the area while I move"
"Comeon buddies let's go"
I picked up the two floofs and placed them at my pocket of my jacket, they moved a little before settling down comfortably.
"Well then Athena, what is up with the [n%I=W] skill? No offense to the skill if it's sentinent but the name of the skill is very .... unique."
[Answer. Information of the skill has been redacted from the main server and possibly removed by an extra terrestrial being]
".....well that's scary to hear"
[Answer. Master cannot feel scared due to the possession of {Fear Nullification} skill]
"Sarcasm baby, sarcasm"
[...]
"By the way now that I think of it who created you? Or how were you born?"
[Answer. The information regarding the fact of my birth/creation has been redacated by the main server, but the person who had a hand on my creation is the {Star Dragon King Veldanava} He who created the entire universe and this world is created by Him]
" Wow....The person who created you must be really powerful and great to create such a user friendly skill"
"I am very lucky to have such a skill like yourself."
[•///<///•]
...?
"....Athena?"
[Answer. Yes Master]
"Oh Thank God, I got a little paranoid when you didn't respond. I thought you might have also left me like my friends when I was transported in this world."
[Answer. {Knowledge King: Athena} is a destined skill for the individual Y/N so it is impossible for these two individuals to exist without depending on each other]
I stood above the water surface straight while I looked down at my reflection as my tears started falling from my eyes.
"I see. I am glad then. I have such an amazing skill that I think I might be the luckiest man alive."
I said in a strained voice as my voice started cracking from my emotions.
[...]
"You have have assisted me for more than a month, assisted me when I felt scared and lonely. I am really happy to have you with me. I am really really really happy."
I said as more tears started falling touching the water, dropping like small shiny crystals , shining with the help of the sunshine.
[...]
"I guess, if not for you I would have definitely died under harsh conditions of the desert and the drought land. No food. No water. I would have died in the most ....lame way"
[...]
My hands formed a fist as I tried to rub my eyes. The ..... floofs too looked concerned at my state and patted my coat with their paws.
"I don't wish for world domination nor have any other desires like to become the strongest or get myself a luxurious life, for all I want right now is for Athena to stay by my side forever.
[...]
"... I would not force you to stay by my side forever but please stay when I am confused and scared like the little kid I was a month ago."
[!!!!!!]
"So please stay by my side. I really needed someone to talk to keep my sanity as a human. I would be really sad if you were taken from my life."
[... {Knowledge King: Athena} says : Master need not to worry for this skill as {Knowledge King: Athena} will stay by Master's side forever even if the creator deems us unworthy of existence or even if we need to against my Creator]
My eyes widened at Athena's words as I had an smile, more tears started falling down.
"Thank you Athena, for everything and for being there for me"
"Goddamnit got sentimental over some stuff and crying like a baby doesn't suits for a future hero. I really need to stop crying and being sad over everytime we talk on a sad topic"
[]
[I would recommend Master to stop himself from thinking like that as crying is a basic emotion a human should have as sadness has the same need for a sane human to live]
".....?"
"Athena?"
[Answer. Yes Master]
"...did you just speak in a rather more soothing voice and a voice full of emotions?"
[Answer. No. It is just your imagination]
"Ah... But I could swear I heard you emotional...."
[Answer. An Ultimate Skill cannot possess emotions. It is impossible for skills to possess mortal feelings as they are solely created for the user's needs. That is the entire meaning behind the existence of Ultimate Skills]
"....I see"
"But you know what...I cannot speak for every humans of this world or my world but I can guarantee you one thing that you do not have to worry about it."
[...]
"I will use you when necessary but in return I want you to live with a free state of mind, not bound by my existence or your Creator but an individual living existence just like me."
[Answer. That is an impossible fact.]
"But you want to know something? I will come for you even after this World ends and find you. That's how far I would go for you if it rewards me with the ability to make you feel human emotions."
[!!!!]
[^//////^]
[....]
"I will definitely do it as a thank you gift for everything."
"In the end even if we didn't find a human settlement, I found something important today."
"I was able to know something."
"So this was not a pointless journey at all."
