Chapter 7

In the last chapter I said that Tsukuyomi is inspired by Monster Paradise but I got off topic there. So In Monster Paradise, they have Telekinetic Knives that the MC uses after around 1k chapters. Those weapons are basically endless amounts of knives that they use Telekinesis to control and I have never seen in any non chinese novels.

Anyway, a new world… I rewrote it 4 times cuz I can't find an optimal time to insert mc so… I do it my way with a big bang.

Warning, a lot of info dump

Chapter 7: I become son of a father and 10 mothers

Ray woke up from his sleep when he heard people talking nearby which his brain could not register but the voice sounded familiar.

"He still… same… before… thankful…" Ray immediately shot up from the mattress because he recognised the voice.

"Ah he woke up." He saw Gehrmen, he looked younger, more tidy and still had both legs instead of having a pegleg.

Due to Ray suddenly jumping off the mattress, Artemis and Tsukuyomi also wide awake now. Tsukuyomi is ready to send out his knives but doesn't see any enemy.

Artemis recognised Gehrmen and instead of being combat ready, she plop back to hug Ray and sleep but only able to hug his left leg then close her eye again.

"Unc- No, Gehrmen what do you need to sneak into my bedroom?" Ray, annoyed by this, immediately questions Gehrmen.

"Hahahaha, Oh I didn't expect the boy who pissed his pants when fighting his first beast to be so domineering. Hahahaha…" Gehrmen clutching his knees trying to not fall while Ray deadpan look at him.

"Very funny Gehrmen, so? What do you need from me this early in the morning?" Ray then asked with a huff.

"Forgive me Good Hunter, Gehrmen said he has something to give you. I led him to your room." Out of sudden, Maria, who Ray didn't realize was in the corner of the room opposite the door.

"Jesus!" Ray didn't actively spread his psychic power to detect the surroundings and he was shocked by her sudden appearance.

Gehrmen who finally stop laughing, clears his throat with a cough.

"Ahem… anyway, I wanted to give you this." Then he took out his Burial Blade which looked better and improved. "This old man rarely needs this anymore. She can shine better in your hand."

He hands Ray the folded trick weapon but suddenly the comfortably sleeping Artemis jumps off the mattress and hugs Ray.

"No! You can't master! You already have Artemis and Tsukuyomi!" She half pleaded, half coercing Ray.

Gehrmen didn't know the real identity of Artemis and Tsukuyomi didn't understand what was happening . Look at Maria who as usual is holding the true body.

"This might sound strange but the girl is Artemis or previously known as the Holy Moonlight Sword that once wielded by Ludwig." Maria explained without any change of expression.

To say that Gehrmen was surprised is an understatement. He was in shock, he once saw Ray once talking to his weapon when he was upgrading or repairing them in the workshop.

He never questioned it since any hunter that went through the hunt will develop some weird behaviour or personality. But he never thought that his chosen successor would be… this weird.

Yes weird from someone that made a pact with god for a doll and fuck it. But really? A sword?

Gehrmen now wonders what Ludwig's and the others reaction will be when he tells him about his favourite mentor turned into a girl and a lover by Ray when they meet up at the bar later.

'Will he turn my Burial Blade into girls too?' Gehrmen asks himself while looking at Ray and Tsukuyomi who are trying to pacify Artemis.

"I can't even afford the awakening gem right now!"

"That means that the master will do it when the master can afford it. Are Artemis and Tsukuyomi not enough for master?" Artemis demanded answer from Ray.

"..." Ray was silenced by that question since he is going to do it later.

"Anyway." Ray grabbed the Burial Blade from Gehrmen and woke him up from his thoughts as he gave his farewell before running away happily.

Little did Ray know, his infamy as Sword Defiler spreading like wildfire due to Gehrmen handiwork at central Yharnam bar.

Also an angry Ludwig trying to 'free' his mentor from the evil clutch of the Sword Defiler but it's a different story for another day.

…

In the afternoon, Ray sits on the wheelchair in the living room tinkering with the screen in front of him while hugged in the chest by a pouting Artemis that buried her face on his body.

Maria and his true body are away in Yharnam to manage stuff while Scáthach and Tsukuyomi idling around the house.

"I expect every class to be available but not every class is compatible with me huh. Ray looked through the new function while reading the class description.

He spent the whole morning checking the classes and to his disappointment, most classes have requirements to get.

Example Sword Saint class needs a swordmaster class and a deed that makes him worthy to be called as hero. Or Archmage needs a high mage class and creates a new or existing magic through own ability.

However he found few classes that are compatible for himself and they are unlocked due to his existing skills and racial bonus.

———

-Arcanist

One who dabbles into art and secrets of arcane, they learn and explore through intensive research to gain power.

-Astromancer

One who is not only fascinated with the cosmos, but obsessed with it. They were born with great affinity with the cosmos and obsessed with wielding it as power.

-Esper

One that is either born with it or gains psychic power. They are a group of users that develop their mental talents to weaponize it or for day to day uses.

-Psychomancer

An advance branch of psychic class that believes in training the mind, the body, and the spirit into a balance is the true way to achieve higher realm.

(Cultivator in a nutshell)

-Psyker

Class similar to esper but specialized in combat type spell rather than general utility pioneered by a certain emperor in the distant future.

-Swordmaster

An advance branch of warrior class that specialises in bladed weapons.

-Spell Caster

A specialized class that is proficient in spell casting, spell modification and spell improvement. They are scholars that always seek to improve, modify and create spells.

———

He decided to take all these classes since he has enough levels to invest in them. Although most of them are basic classes, few are gems like Astromancer.

Astromancer allows the usage of spells similar to Super Tier spells although the consumption of mana and effort to obtain it are worthy of its prowess.

Imagine a spell like Dimension Collapse that basically chucks a ultra compressed super massive blackhole to expand on the enemies causing extreme gravity well that traps them and tear them apart until the black hole explodes or decay.

The result of such spells is enough to delete most enemies that aren't peak gold rank or above.

The best part is he can get 'early access' by understanding the spell and remake a similar spell but lower power output using his psychic power and arcane spell.

Just imagining the possibilities is enough to give him a boner which Ray decides to grab it all which results in few, more advanced classes becoming available but he ignores them for now.

When he finishes alloying levels to those classes, he press 'distribute' on the screen and suddenly loses control of his entire body which he managed to regain control with psychic manipulation.

His sudden loss of motor function didn't go unnoticed by everyone, especially Scáthach who looked at him like someone seeing a ghost.

When his new job is implemented to his body, a sudden wave of invisible energy wash over the Hunter's Dream.

"Master… stronger." Tsukuyomi points out that she feels that Ray is now able to manipulate more than 50k knives.

Meanwhile, Ray's body continues to transform as his black hair now looks like the cosmos. His eyes also changed, now looking like the entire observable universe.

While his outside is being transformed, his inside also transformed. His transparent and slightly gray soul now is dyed with the colour of the cosmos.

His mind also undergoes changes as boundless knowledge is crammed into his mind which causes extreme pain but he is unable to scream it out as he loses total control of his body.

He feels like an eternity as his soul expands to accommodate the changes but the knowledge keeps coming and the cycle continues for a while but Ray perceives it as an eternity due to no lag in data transfer unlike physical bodies.

When the changes finished, Ray finally relaxed his tense body. He created a mirror using hydrokinesis to look at his new changes.

His previous height of over 2 meters had shrunken to 190 cm which is still tall but more normal than over 2 meters.

He raises his hand to feel his hair but accidentally slips into his head. He discovered that his hair now is connected to space which he didn't know how it works but he didn't question it.

"Ray… lower the mana... you send me. It's too… potent." Scáthach, who are clutching to the wall, asked Ray while struggling to stand.

Ray looks at her for a bit before he quickly lowers the energy he is sending to her.

His mana which now fully changed to cosmic energy are too dense and more potent that his previous mana.

"Are you ok shishou? You can have the seat if you need." Ray floats from the wheelchair before sitting on the metal plates that Tsukuyomi just sent out for him.

"Hmn, no need." Scáthach are too prideful to accept it dismissed with a wave of hand before turning to spiritual form.

Ray is able to read her thoughts using his psychic power but is too busy to care about it right now. He is partitioning his thoughts to split a few to process and handle the added knowledge.

His mind processing power is now splitted 80/20 with the majority of them processing new knowledge and understanding the abilities obtained from his added Job.

Ray then opened his status to inspect only to be surprised by sudden great changes.

Ray looks at his new status speechless with the great increment, especially the HP and MP now rival that of a dungeon boss.

Next great change is his LUK which became unquantifiable due to the Cosmic Sicon title. His luck is boosted by the cosmic power, influencing everything in my favour which makes him want to pull the Lottery.

"Um… I just won a rare stuff. Should I trade with some big shot from the hub?" Ray asks his weapon souls that simply shrugged, not sure what to decide.

"Anyway, I already got everything ready for the next contract. Did I forget anything?" He asked to confirm one last time before he embarked on another contract.

"Master, can master buy Artemis new dress? Artemis wants to wear something else other than a white robe." Artemis lightly nudges his coat while pointing at Tsukuyomi who wears a Miko outfit.

"Can't you just… change through magic? You can manifest any outfit you can imagine." Ray stated.

What Ray didn't know is, Artemis wanted an outfit given by her master but sadly he didn't catch the message.

Seeing that Artemis is quite persistent with her request, he relent and use Production to create a Lolita style dress that is black and white in colour.

Ray didn't know how well it looked but she is happy with the dress so… he left it at that.

He opened the contract screen to check it one last time. He then remembered the stuff he has from the previous contract and from Grand Labyrinth that he can sell.

'System, sell those stuff.'

(Selling item:

Magic Core [7th Apostle]

50k HP

Daemon Sealing Amulet

24k HP

Elder Treant Staff

12k HP

Confirm?)

'Yes'

(86k HP obtained)

"Ain't much, but it's honest work." Ray uttered in satisfaction while confused Artemis in her new dress and the silent Tsukuyomi looked at him.

Caught in an awkward moment of making a meme reference, he cleared his throat with a fist over his mouth.

"Let's go… you both, we are going to the contract world now." Ray stands up and exits the Hunter's Dream as both his weapon souls dematerialise into his body.

When he exited to Hub, he open the contract screen before accepting the contract.

The space rippled before Ray vanished from the spot he been standing on but didn't notice the changes on the contract screen.

---Unknown PoV---

"User Ray Elliot had accepted the contract." An electronic voice resounds in a dark room filled with screens that displays countless users' live recordings.

"Oh the user that managed to fail his first contract. This is the first time someone failed and got a redo." A figure hidden by the darkness said as he look at Ray getting inserted into Date a Live with a special 'boom'.

"Indeed, In our database, all those who failed are due to death and didn't have a chance for a redo."

"He also managed to exploit the Penalty Contract to get explosive growth which is now an unbreakable record in the hall of fame." The figure added.

"Is this the reason User Ray Elliot was given a favour?" The electronic voice manages to express its curiosity even if it's a machine.

"I would not breach the rule of favouring a user. I simply use my power to shift the timeline for him to properly wipe his ass." The figure huffed as he argued with the machine.

"... Reason accepted, the world will already weaken and Ray added to the stable timeline to assure the world will recover by eliminating the threats." The machine deduced the figure's intention.

"However, unnecessary action had been done. Please elaborate." Before the figure can relax his guard, the machine added another question.

"..." The figure turned silent.

"Please, elaborate." Emotionless voice pressured the figure to answer but the figure kept his silence.

"Please, elaborate or disciplinary action will be taken. 5… 4… " The machine finally resorts to blackmailing.

"Wait! Wait! I'll answer, please just spare me from the Reformation Course." The figure finally panicked and the machine stopped its countdown.

"I… did it for revenge, because of him I missed my date with my boyfriend having to pull the overtime work." The figure confessed to the machine that emotionlessly verifying his words.

"No lie detected, revenge on the user did not violate the administrator rule of conduct." The machine finally made its verdict with the figure who is an administrator in charge of overseeing the contracts.

"However great changes in the new timeline are detected, please elaborate."

"That is not my fault, due to his previous failure, the world had changed from easy to normal or hard difficulty depending on the barely hanging shield that world will put up before it shuts down." The figure shrugged.

"His change into a spirit is a deterrent to illegal transmigrator and reincarnator from casually derailing the already fragile timeline. Since they will hesitate and be wary with their actions when the timeline is non canon."

"Your action will be recorded and sent to the Governor to review." The machine utters its final words before it turns silent.

"Can't even get a little payback… I envy those full fledged administrators that get field work rather than office work like this… Don't give up, 3 more years until promotion." The figure ranted a bit before returning to his work.

"I can have him take responsibility for breaking up with my boyfriend…"

---PoV end---

…

-Date a Live world-

Spacequake alarms blaring loudly across Tengu City and nearby cities during the night. People wake up from their sleep or work as they quickly rush to shelter.

A big spacequake is about to happen, although not as big as the first one that wiped out Eurasia thirty years ago but still the biggest one ever recorded after the first spacequake.

For those that are able to sense magic power, they feel a torrent of mana tearing apart the space outside of the crater where Tengu city is located.

As the tear grew larger, the stars and constellations in the cosmos glow brighter as if welcoming someone. Meteor showers are happening all over the world and are able to be viewed by everyone.

At ground zero where the 'spacequake' hit, the land tore apart and depressed, creating a second but smaller crater outside of Tengu city.

When the dust cleared off, a man appeared to be standing on the crater. He wears a dusty black black tricorn, a gray duster coat, a pair of brown leather boots, a pair of black gauntlets with golden ornaments and a bandanna covering his lower face.

His attire are normal looking when compared to his physical features, his hair that is dyed by the colour of the cosmos while his eyes look like the universe itself.

He stand on the crater not moving as the the stars shine brighter, the meteor shower become fiercer then the cherry on top, the moon as is alive, appear very close as if directly on top of him showering him with moonlight as a glowing ethereal green greatsword appeared in front of him.

---Other PoV---

"Status report, quick!" The redhead girl wearing a commander outfit seated on the bridge of Fraxinus, an airship belong to Ratatoskr.

"Few minutes ago at 21:37, we detected sudden increase of spiritual power outside of Tengu city. After the initial surge of spiritual power, weird phenomena are happening all across the world and are still happening." A man with blond long hair wearing white suit brief to the redhead girl who are chewing on a lollipop.

"Good Kyouhei, we will continue to check on it. This spirit look… different." The command who looked at the screen displaying the spirit that just appeared out of a space crack.

"What!" Everyone on the bridge exclaimed.

"The spirit is male… this is the first time we see a male spirit and it's appearance…" Kyouhei Kannazuki stated as he looked at the spirit's outfit.

"The spirit lacks his astral dress, or he is hiding it but why… " one of the crew asked, which caught the attention of the commander.

"Reine?" The commander look at the lady in white coat that wearing a glasses and have bag under the eyes.

Reine looked at the commander before shaking her head which caused the commander to look slightly upset as she bit off the lollipop with a loud crunch.

As they discuss, the moon suddenly looks like it became closer and closer until it was right above the spirit, showering him with moonlight as a glowing ethereal green greatsword appeared before him.

"Is that his angel? He is similar to Princess, wielding a greatsword." The commander stated.

"Commander, we detect AST is getting closer to the spirit. They will make contact in three minutes." One of the crew reported.

"This is our chance to decern his strength." Kyouhei stated as the crew focus on trying their best to gather information from the fight.

As they waited with great anticipation, the spirit and AST are finally clashing. The AST didn't waste any time as they initially with volley of shots from their guns.

However those shots didn't land at all as the Fraxinus saw a silhouette of a girl with fox like feature while wearing miko outfit when the spirit called upon his angel.

"Did he called his angel…"

"Yes, we heard him call his angel name, Tsukuyomi." The crews replied to the commander.

"Isn't that the name of a moon goddess?" The commander mutters to herself as she continues to look at the fight.

More hexagonal plates appeared and formed a defensive layer around him while an equal amount of knives with crystal looking bladed shot at speed of sound toward the AST.

The AST form a defensive territory with their CR Unit to defend against the swarming knives which succeed but suddenly more knives appear to attack all sides that force them to spread the shield thin.

The thin layers puncture easily like fragile glass. The AST captain ordered them to gather up and form a bigger shield to resist the knives swarm.

However, forming a bigger group means they also become a bigger stationary target for the spirit.

And as expected, the spirit called upon his other angel 'Artemis' which caused an intense ethereal green light to burst out of the greatsword and surrounding.

The moon becomes brighter and its colour slowly turns into pale red which causes the people that are spying on them to raise an eyebrow wondering if they are hallucinating.

Boosted by the moonlight, the spirit made a single energy sword slash that blasted open the shield AST put up and the result was an explosion of energy that blasted them away. Even the Fraxinus that floats far away can feel its shockwave.

"They got… wiped out in a single attack." Everyone exclaimed.

"Wait! They are still alive, their CR Unit protecting them from the blast and rough landing." Kyouhei stated as he pointed to one of the monitors showing the AST units.

"Bad news commander, the spirit shifted his attention to Tengu city." One of the crew reported.

"Kyouhei…" The commander looked at him, who already understood what she wanted to do.

"But it's dangerous to let you fight him alone, at least-" He was interrupted by the commander.

"At least what? We Ratatoskr didn't have many combatants since we aimed to save. The one that can fight is me and you but you already see how easily he blasts away whole units of AST." The commander almost shouted as she was worried about his safety if he join the fight.

While they are busy arguing, another person suddenly appears to stop the spirit. They talk for a bit before they start fighting.

---Other PoV---

Holy shit, what is happening out there. I looked up to the sky and saw the stars in the sky were weirdly bright and the moon looked somewhat similar, the pale red colour but where did I see it?

"System, what's happening right now." I asked the system, which was strangely silent.

(The system detects a deviation of plot happening right now. System detected the anomaly 17km away Northwest from here.)

"Ho… Let's fight him, after gaining power from this cheat system, I've been itching to fight." I quickly move toward the anomaly using flash step to move at breakneck speed.

…

When I arrived, I saw the AST Unit landed a few hundred metres away from the spirit. Battered by the fight, most of them are unconscious while those still conscious help their units to retreat.

To the left I saw the so-called spirit which honestly didn't look like one. Where is the astral dress?

Then I walk toward it's path to halt him.

"Yo spirit, nice weather today."

I swiftly activate a magic spell, Fire Blast to test the water before I dive in.

The ball of fire fly toward the spirit but hit an invisible wall before it exploded. The spirit looks unphased by the attack and simply looks at him before it suddenly smiles widely.

"Oh, didn't expect a wild transmigrator to appear here." The spirit says before I suddenly feel an invisible force push me down to the ground and hold me still.

"Be grateful I am going to use you as my test subject."

I suddenly feel the terror spreading all over me as I cannot move an inch. I got cocky to fight this monster.

"No, wait please I didn't mean to. Stop, please I haven't lived my new life. I just transmigrated a few months ago. Please! system help… " I shouted in panic.

Desperately I tried to activate my Saiyan bloodline I have as a cheat from god but I feel nothing as the spirit finishes casting his spell.

"Prototype Magic: Gravitational Compression."

That's the last thing I heard as my body caved inward as it painfully compressed and crushed my body.

---Ray PoV---

"Wow, didn't expect it to be so gory…" Ray said as he looked at the 'mystery meatball' which is the result of his attack.

The magic he created, the Gravitational Compression is to create a strong gravitational force to attract all nearby mass into the gravity direction. Similar to how celestial bodies have gravitational force to attract its own mass.

I split the 'meatball' in half and see that the bones are in the center while the meat covers the layer after the bone. Bloods also splurt out of it when I slash it but thankfully Tsukuyomi quickly deploy the defensive plates to shield the blood from me.

'Master please don't use Artemis for cutting that… disgusting thing.' Artemis talks through our bond since she is still in 2H sword form.

'What am I supposed to use them for, if not my sword? It's your job right? To cut down whatever I wish to.'

'But… Artemis feels dirty from cutting 'that' thing.' Artemis sobbed as her master retorted.

'How about If master gives Artemis a bath?. Master never takes a bath since the divinity conveniently keeps master always clean.' Tsukuyomi suggested which Artemis immediately agreed.

'If master will give Artemis a bath then it can't be helped, Artemis is willing to get a little dirty.' She tried to hide her excitement but obviously the bond directly transmitted her feelings and thoughts.

---Ratatoskr PoV---

They saw the person who stopped the spirit turn into a 'mystery meatball' and cause those with weak stomachs to empty it out immediately.

Those that manage to resist the urge to vomit earlier now vomit when the spirit starts to dissect the 'meatball' with great interest. They cursed the Fraxinus for being able to get such a clear vision of the dissection on their monitors on 4k 60fps.

"He will be declared as a hostile spirit with his actions." The commander said.

"Can we be sure of it Kotori? Since the person clearly initiated the attack earlier." The Head Analyst, the lethargic lady with the white coat said.

"You got a point… anyway I need to get there to stop him since the spirit definitely has interest in Tengu city. Even if he only retaliates, it will still be devastating if someone messes with him somehow." The commander named Kotori stated.

"Yes, we will await your safe return." Kyouhei saluted as he see no point to dissuade her when she was determined to go.

---Kotori PoV---

When looking at the live footage of the fight, she realised that the stars shine brighter when Ray used his power and she deduced that its related with his power and Ray also displays power similar to telekinesis with his knives and defensive plates.

Ray is the first kind of male spirit and his angels are also named after goddesses instead of christian mythology angels like most other spirits.

Thinking about it makes her mind become tangled. She takes a deep breath and exhales then she is dropped by Fraxinus near the vicinity of Ray who stands still and eyes dimmed as if his mind isn't present to control his body.

'Hu… ha…, relax Kotori he won't attack if I don't start it. I'm here to negotiate.'

---Pov End---

Ray noticed Kotori in her astral dress standing on a tree in the distance while looking at him.

Ray is wondering if he should troll her with his plan he hatched in his mind. He never showed his true appearance and was always half hidden by his bandanna but in his first contract, he took over Itsuka Shido and became Itsuka Shido.

He has the appearance of Itsuka Shido but is more grown up than the current Shido. No one will be able to deny it if they say they are related.

Ray is laughing hard inside imagining the chaos he will cause to Itsuka Shido with this. Oh and his expression when Ray walks up to him and calls him father. He cannot imagine it.

Ray has to replace his current thought with another and wall of the previous thought to prepare his mind for the trolling he is about to do.

He sees Kotori hesitantly approach with an empty hand to not provoke his attack. She is wary of the attack he used on the unlucky transmigrator.

"Hey" She waved her right hand to attract his attention.

Ray purposely ignore, hoping she would come a little closer and she did but stopped around ten meters away from him.

"Oi!" Kotori called with a louder tone.

Ray controls his facial expression to look surprised then pretends to rub his eye before looking again at Kotori.

"What? Are you surprised to see another of your kind?." Kotori regains a little of her prideful look as she talks to Ray but isn't ready for what Ray is about to say next.

"Mo.. mother?" Ray stuttered a little as he tried his best to hold back his laughter.

"WHAT!" Both Kotori and people in Fraxinus shouted when Ray called Kotori as Mother.

"Wha… Ahem, I don't understand what you are talking about." She managed to calm herself despite the surprise. Worthy as a commander, Kotori calmly asks back to Ray for clarification.

"You are Itsuka Kotori right? My mother. Although I didn't have real Efreet like mother, I still able to manipulate fire."

Ray demonstrates his fire ability using Pyrokinesis to manipulate fire into various forms of animal and shapes.

"See! I can manipulate fire like a mother can using Efreet." Ray said while acting like a child eager to please their parents.

Kotori's eyes widen with her little mouth as she sees Ray manipulate fire with great proficiency. She totally ignored the voice coming from the communication device hidden in her ear.

Ray kept calling her but she didn't respond because she had already fainted out of shock. Ray finally noticed when he used his Hemokinesis to check her body to gauge her reaction.

"Mother! Mother! Hold on." Ray quickly caught her before she fell down. Although he didn't regret doing this since he planned to use this as his cover to join the main characters, he did realize that he took it too far.

Ray uses Tsukuyomi to make a makeshift bed and lays her down while he checks his inventory for anything he could use to wake her up.

When he was done searching, he found nothing that could help. He reminded himself to tidy his inventory before suddenly a blond man in a different CR Unit arrived with a complicated look on his face.

"I came to retrieve the commander, I mean no harm." Kyouhei arrived but kept his distance as he looked at Ray.

When Ray, who pretended to look at him with hostility, realised that Ray probably thought he was with AST since he is wearing a CR Unit that is similar to AST.

"Wait! I'm not with the previous group. We are Ratatoskr, an organisation that saves spirits. Being like you are called spirit and we like to help unlike AST, they are tasked to eliminate spirit.

"Really?" Ray said while pretending to look confused.

"Even so, I will not let you take mother." He stands between the unconscious Kotori and Kyouhei as if a lion protecting his cubs.

"Excuse me for asking but… is it true commander is your mother? Can you prove your claim?" Kyouhei, who was genuinely curious, asked Ray.

Ray, who'd been waiting for this moment, nodded. 'I'm gonna spice things up' is what is going through his mind right now.

"I can use fire like my mother."

"That I know, we are looking when you did your demonstration but do you have any other proof?"

Ray again with his act that probably won him an Oscar, thinking hard with his hand on his chin then looked at Kyouhei after a bit and nodded.

"I inherited my father's look and you definitely recognise since he is always with mother."

"Your father…" Kyouhei parroted him.

"Y.. Yo.. Your fa.. father… who is he." Kotori, who suddenly wakes up, demands an answer from Ray nervously while stuttering as she asks.

Ray didn't answer but he moved his hands to take off his tricorne hat and bandanna to build the suspense which grew rapidly until his face showed fully to them.

Kotori is in shock and denial while Kyouhei makes a surprised face with his eye about to pop out of the socket as he points at Ray's face.

"Commander, his face… he look like your uhuk." Before he could finish, he got a punch to his right rib. Ray sure that he heard some bones cracked.

"Will you believe me now... mother?" Ray asks while making a pitiful face while Kotori clutches her head while he becomes haywire and overloaded as she tries to deny what she just saw.

Meanwhile.

'Impossible onii chan and I have a son… that means we… we are married and… and…' Kotori brain overheated as imaginary smoke leaking from her ears and her face blushing heavily.

And finally… Kotori.exe stopped working.

…

After a long while, Kotori.exe is finally working again. Both Kotori and Kyouhei recomposed themselves while they secretly communicated with Fraxinus which Ray noticed but he ignored it as he was playing with elements that he manipulated with his Kinesis.

"So, will you… peacefully follow us to Fraxinus." Kotori asked, clearly still uncomfortable to know he had a son who is definitely older than her at the age of 13.

Ray looked a bit hesitant before he nodded. "If you said so, mother." He tries to squeeze as much of it as he sees her face turn complicated everytime he calls Kotori as mother.

Kotori and Kyouhei return to Fraxinus via teleportation followed by Ray. On their way back, Kotori has many questions to ask but he refrains from asking and waits until he assembles the important people.

When the teleportation was completed, Ray greeted by Reine Murasame, the Head of Analyst.

Her face changed several times from analysing to suspicion to confusion then baffled. She of course is the first spirit in disguise and she can feel that Ray is a descendant of Itsuka Shido since his presence is almost perfectly similar but the Spirit Vessel is missing.

(Note: Spirit Vessel is in true body and his current body when analysed with scientific or magical method will always seen as an descendant of the true body which is body of Itsuka Shido from the failed contract world. I tried to explain but im also confused)

"Grandmother?" Ray dropped another bomb while trying his hardest to hold his laughter when he see the face Reine making.

"Grand… mother?" Kotori also looked at Reine before turning back to Ray.

"Ah she didn't reveal it yet, she is Mi-" Reine stops Ray's mouth before dragging him to a corner somewhere at lightning speed.

"You… How do you know who I am?" She pushed Ray against the wall while interrogating him.

"Mnph… mnh…" He tried to talk but his mouth was still being shut by Reine.

She released her hand before she asked again with her impassive tone.

"I from the future, I somehow returned here after wandering somewhere." Ray answered which is technically the truth.

He returned from another timeline where current time is considered the past for him and he did wander into Hub and another world before this world again although in a different timeline.

"I see…" Reine looked confused since she didn't detect a lie. She can't detect it even if Ray did lie but due to that she assumed Ray returned from the future somehow and ended up here.

"Anyway don't reveal my other name to anyone, got it?" Her tone softened a bit as she released Ray from her vice grip.

They both walked to the bridge where the crews, Kotori and Kyouhei, were waiting for them.

"What happen Reine? And what's the deal with him calling you grandmother." Kotori who changed to the commander outfit now seated on her own elevated seat.

"Nothing" Reine said with the same lethargic tone she always has.

"Oh gran- Reine asked me to refrain from calling her as grandmother." Ray gave an excuse which they nodded and changed to another topic.

"Now, will you explain why you call me mother? And where you came from." Kotori asks with the air of a great leader which instantly gone when Ray explained.

Ray use bullshit no jutsu ro explain that he was born from all the powers that were sealed in Shido like Mayuri and he was never able to physically interact with his mothers and Shido.

He was born as a spiritual entity which later wandered the space and traverse into other dimensions to cover the part of him in Hub.

He also talk about how he was trapped in a dimension where a city was overrun by a plague which he had to kill and kill until he was released.

Finally his recent deed of killing a massive flying man-eater whale on land and a flood of murder insects.

When he finished his story, Kotori finally asked his age since his story seems to span a very long time.

"Hm… I didn't know the exact number but it should be more than 400."

(According to system, he spend 400 years in hibernation to ascend where he blacked out)

"Four what! I at age 13 have a son that is 4 centuries older." Kotori was shocked again.

"How are you able to stay sane being alone that long?" Kotori continues to dig for more information from Ray, which is her job as Ratatoskr commander.

She has to gain the information about spirits and report it to the higher ups. Now, she honestly feel weird interrogating his 'son'

"Oh I have them, you all call them angels which is not a wrong term to name them. Come out, you both." Ray called his soul weapons that manifest immediately.

"This blue hair one is Artemis, the sword. The silver hair with fluffy ears is Tsukuyomi, the knives and defensive plates you saw me using."

Everyone is dumbfounded by the introduction since they didn't expect Ray to call out two girls that he introduced as the angels he previously used.

Usually an angel is either a weapon or tool a spirit uses and they represent their power. Every one of them is a weapon or tool, never a human or human-like angel which they are seeing right now.

When Ray summoned his angels, they saw him playing with the fluffy ears of the angel named Tsukuyomi. He instinctively sends out defensive plates he uses as a seat while playing with Tsukuyomi who sat on his lap while Artemis looked on in jealousy.

"Master it's unfair you only play with Tsukuyomi. Pat Artemis too."

While Ray, Tsukuyomi and Artemis are immersed in their world, the rest of the people simply look with various emotions. One or two of them wanted to call the FBI but realised they can't do much to a spirit that can turn humans into meatball.

"Ahem, so… they are your angel?" Reine asked

"Yes, here let me demonstrate."

Artemis vanished then a greatsword appeared in Ray hand which glowed in ethereal green light. Everyone is amazed by her beauty, she looks otherworldly which is true.

Then Artemis returns into human form while Tsukuyomi turns into a ring with a rune inscribed on its body and a silver gem inlaid in the ring.

With a single thought, countless razor sharp knives flooded the Ratatoskr bridge. The knives then turn into defensive plates before Tsukuyomi appeared again on Ray's lap.

Ray let Artemis sit on his other lap as she shared the lap with Tsukuyomi with a face full of satisfaction.

"Amazing aren't they?" Ray ask while everyone absentmindedly nodded other than Reine who mind seems to be occupied by other things.

"They are my masterpiece, I created both of them to accompany me." Ray stated proudly with a smile.

His statement however shocked them. This is the first time they heard that angel are made by a spirit. Perhaps Ray simply is an exception.

"You create them?" Kotori asked

"Master created our human form, not the weapon form. Master gave us soul to manifest as human form." Artemis clarified as Tsukuyomi nodded.

"Oh…"

"Anyway, now you are here, what you going to do? Can you return to neighbouring world?." Kotori release barrage of questions which Ray suddenly thought of something mischievous.

"Since I can interact with the physical world, I going to meet father. I always wanted to meet him." Ray grinned like someone just found his new amusement.

"No! You can't. Definitely no. I will not let you leave" Kotori quickly retorted.

"Hahaha unfortunately mother, I can also use teleportation. Bye bye, I'll see you later." Then Ray vanished into the space ripple.

"Wait!" She shouted but it's already too late as Ray had already vanished.

Kotori quickly mobilised whole Ratatoskr to find Ray but sadly he used Presence Concealment EX to erase all his spiritual signature and none of them were able to detect him.

Now, it's only a matter of time before Ray finds his next troll victim who is quietly sleeping in his room. Kotori can feel a chill run down her spine, thinking of this is what it feels to be a parent.

—————

(Note: A bit of a shaky start but here we go. If Ray's sudden changes are too drastic then Moi can explain.

-Bloodborne world make Ray into a killer or a hunter where expressing his emotion bad or useless. His only coping mechanism is talking to weapons and stuff which lead to his current obsession with weapon girl harem.

-Ray mind is fickle, he is bored so he find thing he consider as fun to do. In this case is trolling like Zelretch would do but he will get serious when needed to.

-Also Ray pretending to be future son of Shido and his harem is a crack fic idea of mine that I scrapped before writing this novel and it's a waste to not use it so I try to modify and incorporate it here and its better than keep grinding my brain cell to find better idea to write Date a Live world.)
