Nyarlathotep

-----

The trickster-like entity saw how his child seemed oddly friendly with Ervas.

"Hm? How strange… usually, the summoner would fall in madness after talking with my children… you are right, he's really promising" it said.

"What did I tell you? I am never wrong!" laughed the familiar entity.

"Never wrong? Well, you might want to detract from that statement…" said the trickster-like entity.

"What did you say?!"

"Nothing! I was joking! Calm down big man!" laughed the trickster-like entity.

"Sigh…"

Ervas glanced at the two entities' talk, as he slowly went back to reality.

There, the light of the magic circle in the ground disappeared, as a new creature appeared, floating in midair.

"W-What is that thing?!" shouted Ismene.

The rest of the Squirrel women present seemed both terrified and interested.

"Is that… a piece of meat?"

"It has… tentacles?"

"And eyes?"

"Ervas, what did you summon this time?" asked Veronica, inspecting the alien being.

"A thing," said Ervas.

"Obbjbjj, obbjbjjb, obbjbj"

The creature given by the trickster-like entity was a mass of red, twisting, and veiny flesh. It was covered in a dozen of eyes and it had slimy and fleshy appendages across its body.

The creature was simply named 'Otherworldly Aberration Mimic Spawn', and possessed the strange 'Mimicry' skill. Its rank was 3, and it had similar skills to Cthulhu and Veronica, in the sense that it could mold its own body appearance and increase or decrease its size.

The creature seemed a bit timid after being seen by many, and it flew towards Ervas, sticking to his abdomen.

"Obbjbj…"

"You're shy? Do not worry, everyone in here are friends" said Ervas, patting the creature while trying to comfort it.

The creature seemed happy by Ervas's comfort.

"Oh, can I pat it too?" asked Veronica.

"I don't think that thing can be patted…" said Ismene.

"It can… it is very soft, cold and slimy, just like raw flesh," said Ervas.

"That is not very enticing…" said Ismene.

"Obbjbjbj…"

The entity then moved away from Ervas and began to change and shapeshift. Its body extended and touched the ground, its skin began to change colors and shapes until it became a perfect copy of Ervas's image.

"Obbubuji" it said.

"Oh! It can mimic things?" asked one of the squirrel women present.

"It seems so," said Ervas, glancing at his perfect clone.

"Obbujii…"

"If you can shapeshift… then, how about Nyarlathotep as a name?" asked Ervas.

The creature seemed to like the name, hugging Ervas and kissing him with his slimy appendages which went out of the mimicry shape.

"You're very friendly," said Ervas with a mild smile.

"Nyarlathotep? It seems fitting" said Veronica.

"Nyar… what?" asked Ismene.

"You can just call him Nyar," said Ervas.

"Obbubbjjbj…" said Nyarlathotep, as its body shapeshifted into the appearance of Ismene, with a mischievous smile, it carried Ervas on its arms.

"Oooh! Isn't that Ismene?"

"What a perfect and beautiful copy!"

"And it got all the details so well!"

"The large waist and breasts… and the beautiful and long brown hair!"

It seems that Ismene had some unexpected admirers of her beauty.

"H-Hey, don't take my appearance!" said Ismene, a bit flustered, she began to check her body to find something that the imitation could have missed… but she indeed had very large breasts and wide hips.

"Objbjbjb…" said Nyarlathotep, changing into Veronica's appearance… although it seemed to have some difficulties when imitating the hardness of the armor, as it was still soft flesh when touched.

"This is a pretty good imitation… Nyarlathotep's mimicry will come in handy in the future" said Veronica.

As everyone present got to know Nyarlathotep while seeing it shapeshift into them, Ervas received a small notification.

Ding!

[Individual 'Job' has increased from level 1 to level 100!]

"I just needed to summon I guess" thought Ervas, glancing at his available Job options again, no new Jobs appeared this time though.

"Hm? I did not get something like… another summoner job? I suppose I need something to trigger it than just to max the level of the job related to it"

Ervas had no clue how to level up the 'Summon' Skill other than by summoning… but now that he tried summoning again, nothing would happen.

He assumed that his summoning was limited to one per level.

"Well, I had already tried it before, and I couldn't summon anything… I need to level up the skill to get another chance… this also must mean that at the end I will have ten summoned creatures from another world. Nice" thought Ervas.

Ervas glanced at his available jobs and then began to ponder what to choose next.

"If I want to fight, I cannot use my physical body, which is weak… but I can use my phantom and my Telekinesis, so I will select this Job"

Ding!

[You changed Jobs to [Hollow Life Specter]!]

[The Levels of the [Phantom Form; Level 2], [Soul Materialization; Level 2], [Phantom Materialization; Level 2], [Mana Drain; Level 5], [Telekinesis; Level 2], and [Surpass Limits; Telekinesis; Level 2] Skills have increased!]

"Telekinesis leveled up as well… Hm?"

Ervas tried to test out his phantom and soul form materialization, just like Veronica used to do it.

But his soul and phantom seemed converged together already, twisting around within each other.

A phantasmagoric and spectral presence ran through his surroundings spreading a chill down the spine of the people present, except Veronica.

"So my soul and phantom became a specter? I guess Jobs are quite literal sometimes��� though this change did not show as a skill" said Ervas.

"Oh? It seems like you have trained your soul and phantom enough… but that change seems to have trigger through your Job change? Just how many Jobs you changed into?" asked Veronica.

"Three," said Ervas.

"Three?! And the first two leveled up instantly or something?" asked Veronica.

"More or less, though the extra gained stats are not as much as a Job that levels up slowly," said Ervas.

"I see. Now that we are done in here, let's join together with your father, Aqua, and the rest, perhaps you should practice breaking the souls of monsters" said Veronica, as Nyarlathotep carried Ervas in her arms while being shapeshifted as Ismene.

"Alright, I think I can learn Unarmed Fighting Technique with my strengthened soul and phantom," said Ervas.

"Oh? You're getting all pumped up already!" laughed Veronica.

"Hey, wait for me! I am going too!" said Ismene.

The squirrel women left in the tent sighed while seeing Ismene.

"Ah, the chief had become so lively since those two came in here," said a woman.

"I mean, they changed our whole lives in a way… everything is way easier to obtain, and we can also grow stronger way faster!" added another.

"Ervas and Veronica are really impressive people, even our chief is following them around!" said the other.
