System and soul
In the middle of the night, everyone fell asleep after a tiring day, almost everyone fell into a deep sleep.
Except for one person.
"Ugh...huh..."- Mae groaned
Abys opened his eyes because he heard his master's voice. This was the first time he saw Mae having a nightmare. It seemed that the Archdemon's grace in Mae's body was opposing the dragon's contract magic, causing her pain every time she went to sleep.
Abys crawled towards the bed and crawled on top of it, looking at Mae who was sleeping so painfully that it made the dragon feel pain. He crawled through Mae's arms so she could hug the dragon.
Looking at the expression on his face gradually softening, it seemed to work, so Abys slept with his master.
Meanwhile in another room filled with nothing, Grayce was talking to someone on the phone.
"That's right, this time she's acting like that again. It's getting worse and worse, should I use "it"?"- Grayce
"There's no need to use that, I believe she can overcome this pain. Furthermore, "we" are almost there, so prepare everything carefully."
"I understand, I will follow" - Grayce

The next morning, Mae felt a bit of a headache because last night she seemed to have had a nightmare. Although it was a bit vague, it gave her a feeling of fear.
Suddenly feeling a heavy weight on her, she lifted it up to look and saw Abys lying on top of her. Lately Abys has been climbing on top of her to sleep. Even though she bought a separate nest for him to sleep in, it seems like Abys isn't very interested.
The dragon slept soundly and even stuck out its tongue, looking very adorable.
"Abys, wake up. You'll crush me to death"- Mae
"Yawn~"- Abys
Not only did he not wake up, but he also stomped on her body as if to adjust the position to make it soft and then went back to sleep.
"Hah...Abys, wake up quickly"- Abys
"Grao" - Abys
Hearing the owner's call, the dragon woke up. It turned its head towards her and used its tongue to lick her face to show love.
"Okay, come down quickly" - Mae
Suddenly she felt strange in her body, it seemed like she ate something last night that made her lungs a bit bloated. When Mae burped, what came out was fire, she was startled and covered her mouth.
"What just happened?"- Mae
"Grao"- Abys shook his head
As soon as her feet touched the ground, the floor was unusually slippery. Mae tried to hold on to the edge of the bed to avoid falling. She didn't think that the servants in the inn would not be so clean. Checking it out, the thing that made the floor slippery was the necta that Mae had secreted last time.
How the hell did she secrete so much? Mae used magic to manipulate the necta liquid into a nearby bucket. This must have been passed on to Lux, because she really liked the necta that Mae made from her mushroom body.
While doing her usual morning survey, Mae didn't seem to notice that many eyes were directed at her.
"Madam Mae, good morning"
"Good morning, how is the farm work today?" - Mae
"It's still going well as usual, Madam Mae. We harvested a lot of rice, all thanks to Madam Mae otherwise we wouldn't know what to do. You know, before migrating here, where Our old house is often polluted. Neither plants nor animals can survive more than a month."
"That's terrible..."- Mae
"When we were forced to emigrate, we thought it was all over, but we found a new place of refuge."
Time passed, unexpectedly the once sparse village had now become a real village, because many people migrated here to live because they believed that this place did not apply too harsh laws. like racism.
Recently, the phenomenon caused by "Disasters" is spreading very quickly, mutant monsters appear everywhere, so in order to protect the safety of this small city, Mae has learned how to cast a type of magic. protect. She stood in the middle of the city and raised her hand high. Magical energy flowed from Mae's hand, creating a ball that then shot into the sky and exploded.
Flowing down a dome that covered the whole village, then it disappeared as if it had never appeared.
"That's it, is that right?" - Mae
[That's right, defense will always be cast as long as the core still exists]- Eri
The crystal in Mae's hand was glowing, it was the object she used as the core to maintain defense. Crystal is not simply an ordinary gemstone, but it can also contain a huge amount of magic power, so wizards and witches often use it to perform magic.
Mae went somewhere far away from the village to avoid affecting the villagers.
"Now we have to prepare for every worst possible situation" - Mae
Mae waved her hand and a map of the world appeared before her eyes. It was like a map application that people often use. Zooming in, the model appears in the smallest details. The purple areas are spreading, those are "Disasters", a few days ago it only stopped at the border, now it has spread faster, sooner or later it will spread quickly here.
She felt confused, the situation outside was very chaotic but inside the kingdom they were still holding a banquet as if nothing had happened. There were rumors that the two new Archdemons had successfully stopped them, but it seemed like they were just rumors with no clear authenticity.
"Eri, can I ask you a favor?"- Mae
[What?]- Eri
"Even though I'm a person who doesn't like to poke my nose into other people's business and don't like violence. But this matter involves the lives of many people, if I don't do anything, I'll be a heartless person." "- Mae
[So you want me to change places with you to do work related to violence]- Eri
"Yes and no, I want to learn how to use magic that can wipe out the enemy as quickly as possible without shedding too much blood and wasting effort" - Mae
[You yourself have a hidden skill that is currently sealed, if you remove that seal it will be true to your wishes]- Eri
"Do I have a hidden skill? What is that?"- Mae
____________
[Skill: ???]
[Permission to unseal?]
[Yes/No]
____________
The screen appeared in the crimson color of death, making Mae a bit scared. What was so scary about this skill? It really made her not want to unseal it.
"What looks so scary?" - Mae
[That hidden skill was already present in you when you and your children reincarnated here, and since then it has always absorbed strong magic power including the grace of the Archdemons. Once the seal is removed, a terrible magical power will be released]- Eri
"So why don't you solve that skill" - Mae
[Even though I am your system, I also have my access limits. My current level does not allow me to handle it. Only you can break that seal]- Eri
"What will happen if I break that seal?" - Mae
[I don't know, I don't have any analysis results for this question. Just know that removing the seal will be extremely dangerous. If there is no backup plan, the consequences will be very unpredictable] - Eri
If the Eri system said so, Mae wouldn't wonder too much.
In this other world, magic is everything, magic is used for many things, especially in war and conflict. Her two children are both children of the generation exposed to online and outside society. They are both children who learn very quickly.
When reincarnated to this other world, they knew what to do to adapt to life here and guided her to adapt more easily.
Mae is proud that they can live freely like this without having to think about too many things.
That's right, nothing can ruin this happy life. She must protect it at all costs.
"Eri, you once said that when you and I switched positions so you could control this body. There are some parts I will still remember, right? Maybe I'm a person who doesn't like violence. But , I want you to use this body to solve the problems that need to be solved. That way I will gradually get used to that feeling" - Mae
That way she will have enough courage to be able to do things that she hasn't been able to do yet.
____________
[Warning: Signs of monsters coming this way]
[Is there confirmation of changing manual operation to automatic?]
[Yes/No]
____________
"Confirm [Yes]"- Mae
Suddenly, from deep in the forest, something big was flying towards Mae. It was big but very fast. As soon as it touched its nails on Mae's body, it suddenly stopped.
Because its body had been slashed without realizing it, blood splattered over a very wide area.
[Successful confirmation, from now on I will use violence on your behalf]- Mae (Eri)
