[Reward- Dovetail (Symbiote, Klyntarian)]

[Description- Dovetail is said to be the most powerful symbiote to have been created by Knull, the former King In Black, who was later devoured by his own creation, Dovetail. As a result, the control over all the symbiotes was destroyed and Dovetail had to escape from Klyntar in order to safely complete the devouring process of her creator.]

After reading the description, there was only a single thought in Arthur's mind, 'The system wants me dead.' After all, he wasn't a god, definitely not when he couldn't even control his powers properly.

But he didn't had much time to think as the space in front of him teared apart, revealing a door. Arthur didn't had to guess what it was as a figure walked out of the spatial tear. After getting a clear look at the figure, Arthur was stunned.

The figure turned out to be the most beautiful girl Arthur has ever seen. The most noticeable features about the fourteen or so years old were her long white hair and her mesmerizing magenta-coloured eyes.

After looking at her for a few seconds, Arthur only had one thought in his mind, 'System... you are the best!'

The white haired girl, who should be Dovetail, if Arthur's guess was right, stared at him for a few seconds before Arthur heard a sweet girlish voice in his mind.

<Are you... my host?>

Arthur immediately deduced that it was Dovetail who was communicating with him through telepathy. He replied back to her using telepathy since he had a hunch that she would not be able to understand human language. <Yes, I am your host and my name is Arthur.>

Dovetail stared at Arthur for another few second and replied with a single word. <Dovetail.>

She then walked towards Arthur and placed her hand on the side of his neck. She then slowly rubbed her palm all the way towards his nape when suddenly Arthur felt something piercing his skin at his nape. Since it wasn't painful, Arthur didn't bother struggling as it would only make it more complicated.

He also didn't want to annoy Dovetail as they were currently in his room and his parents were still asleep. Arthur didn't want to bring any harm to them. As he was not sure if he could confront Dovetail with his current prowess. Because if they were to fight, it was likely to damage the house, and alternatingly, his parents. In fact, it was Arthur who was more likely to damage the house with his lack of control over his powers.

After some time, Dovetail retracted her hand as Arthur felt not a single wound or drop of blood on his nape. Dovetail once again stared at Arthur and shockingly, started speaking in English. "You are... too powerful... for... humans."

Arthur looked at her in shock but after thinking what she did just a few seconds ago, his shock disappeared completely. Instead he replied back. "It is because I am different from other humans. I am powerful, a lot powerful."

Dovetail muttered once again but this time, in a better English. "You could be my perfect host." Arthur glanced at her beautiful face up close and replied with confidence oozing out of his words. "I will."

His words brought a slight smile on her face as she closed the distance between them and leaned towards Arthur and said. "You will and I will make sure of it." By the end of her sentence, her slight smile turned into an evil smile which brought shiver down Arthur's spine.

But before Arthur could react, he felt his lips getting sealed by hers. Dovetail kissed him as her body started transforming into a white tentacles that started wrapping around Arthur's body, turning into a white body suit. It started from his torso, then his limbs and finally his head, covering his entire body.

Meanwhile Arthur only had one thought in his mind. 'That was my first kiss in both lifetimes.' As realization dawned upon him, another thought popped in his mind. 'And it was absolutely amazing.'

In the next moment, his entire body was covered in a white suit with black patterns. It looked similar to one of the many Spider-Man outfits but more cooler. Also, at the center of his chest, there was also a black logo which looked evil and enhanced the looks of the entire suit by a few levels.

Arthur felt an amazing sensation coursing through his body. It felt as if his body was on steroids but without affecting his mind as the Shadow Monarch's powers had increased his mental fortitude to a terrifying degree. But if it were any other human, they would have easily lost themselves in the pleasure of such power and would been controlled by the symbiote. After feeling the power, Arthur calmed himself down when he heard Dovetail talk to him telepathically.

<You are indeed capable of being my perfect host.>

<Of course, I am capable.> Arthur replied back with a tint of pride in his thoughts. Dovetail didn't react to it and continued. <Before anything else, I would like you to name me to establish the true link.>

Arthur was confused by her words as she already had a name, so he asked her about it. <But you already have a name.> Dovetail replied back immediately in denial. <That is not my true name. It is actually the name of the being who saved me from Klyntar and bestowed me with her name in her last breath. So you must give me one.>

<Okay. Then I will give you one. But I need some time.> Arthur nodded his head and agreed to give her a name. Dovetail didn't reply as if she didn't want to disturb Arthur as he thought of a name for her.

After some time, Arthur finally came up with a name that he felt would be suitable for Dovetail. <Sofia. Your name will be Sofia. Do you like it?>

Dovetail took some time, probably to think, and then replied. <It is... good.>

<Good that you liked it. Then from today onwards, your name shall be Sofia Dovetail.> Arthur sighed in relief and then he announced excitedly. Dovetail, now Sofia, replied instantly. <Okay.>

Hearing her quick response, it was clear to Arthur that she really liked her name. The reason why he decided to add Dovetail as her last name so that Sofia would always remember the being who helped her in times of crises and she herself would feel obliged to help others who are in need.

Just as Arthur was feeling proud about his decision, Sofia interrupted him. <Arthur, I would need to learn more about human physique if I want to help you increase your strength and more importantly, help you control your strength. So, I want to study what you humans would call human biology.>

Arthur was surprised at her request but when he heard the 'control your strength' part, he agreed unhesitatingly. <Sure. You could use my phone or laptop to search whatever you want. In fact, since you could turn into human form, it would be even better if you get enrolled in my school. There you would have an easier time learning everything you want.>

Sofia replied quickly. <If you say so. But first teach me how to use a phone and a laptop.>

<Sure.> Arthur agreed and walked towards the bed. He also picked up his laptop from the study table as well as some books from the shelf. Since his room was quite big, his mother decided to build an entire book shelf along with the study table. It was no big deal for his family as they were quite rich, though not to the point of being extremely rich, but they could fulfil buy almost everything that a fourteen year old boy could ask for.

After taking the necessary materials, Arthur sat down on his bed. Sofia also separated from his body and took her human form. Arthur glanced at her and was once again mesmerized by her appearance while Sofia simply chuckled playfully.

Arthur shook his head to take control of himself and started teaching Sofia all the necessary things about a phone and a laptop. And it turned out that Sofia was a quick learner, terrifyingly quick learner. So Arthur only had to spend a few minutes to teach Sofia all the basics. After doing that, he handed the few books to Sofia.

"Here, these are the basic level books for all the subjects that would be required for high school."

Sofia took the books and started reading through all of them with a serious face. Arthur looked at her and thought - so cute.

After about thirty minutes, Sofia was done with all the books. She picked up all of them and walked towards the shelf. She then placed all the books at the exact same location from where Arthur picked them. Arthur was no longer surprised by her actions as he already knew she was an absolute genius, the likes of whose would put even geniuses like Tony Stark, Bruce Banner and Reed Richards to shame.

After placing the books, Sofia stood in the middle of the room staring at Arthur clearly not knowing what to do. Arthur chuckled at her cluelessness and decided to her.

"Alright, you should get back in my body as it will time for me to wake up. It would be really troublesome if my mom were to see you."

Sofia nodded her head and returned back into Arthur's body after which Arthur went to sleep as well.
