Chapter 89

"You can stop meditating now." Yoru said asking Saeko and the others to stop meditating.

Saeko and the others slowly opened their eyes and were slightly confused.

"Now please open your inventory. Inside there are already notes for the skills you have to buy and the skill tickets to buy them."

They then open their Inventory and see what they have to buy. And they look a little confused.

"Are you curious about the function of the skills you have to buy?"

Everyone nodded their heads.

"Firstly, detection, this is better than perception. Detection can be used to detect many things. Most commonly, this skill is used to detect enemies."

Saeko looks pleased.

"With this I can run away if things look dangerous." Ayaka said.

"Second, Fast Thinking, is used so that you can think faster. Multitasking does make you able to thinking about several things simultaneously. But this skill makes you think faster. So, if something unexpected comes up, you can think of a solutions faster."

Shirley, Yuko, and Miki looked happy. Of course, they fight using speed as their advantage, so the faster they could think and move, the better for them. As for Miki, since she was a sniper, she needed to think about the many possibilities that would happen before and after she pulled the trigger.

"Third, Big Memory, this only functions so that you can remember things easily and you don't forget easily."

"Oh... A useful skill for researchers." Shiiko said.

"Besides, I gave some of you skill tickets to buy additional skills."

Some looked confused and finally Megumi raised her hand and said.

"Why should I buy magic?"

"Because the mana status you have is better than the others." Yoru answered with a straight face.

"Just because of that?" Megumi was confused.

"Yeah, it's useless if you buy something you can't possibly use. Indeed, with ticket skills, we can buy whatever skills we want. But, if we don't have the talent for it, it's useless." Yoru explained.

"Okay" Megumi looked a little unsure.

"Don't think too hard about it. If you can't use magic anytime soon, it won't matter. Because magic is the most difficult thing to learn." Yoru smiled.

"Alright, if you have bought everything you should buy. We will now go to the second floor and train with the skills we have."

Yoru then walked to a room on the second floor with the others. After arriving there, they could see zombies wandering around but not attacking.

"Saeko, Shirley, Fiona and Sayo, you are free to do what you want." Hearing Yoru's words, they were a little confused.

But Saeko and Shirley didn't get flustered for long and immediately went slashing down all the zombies they came across. After that, the zombies that were wondering around immediately tried to attack the two. Seeing Saeko and Shirley, Fiona and Sayo then also killed all the zombies that were there.

"Shizuka, Miki, you guys try using gun." Shizuka took out a pistol while Miki take out her sniper rifle.

"Ayaka, you try using this whip." Yoru gave Ayaka a whip.

Ayaka was actually confused as to what she should do. She did have the whip user skill she just bought. But she didn't know what to do. Until finally she heard Yoru say. "Don't forget to use mana."

'Using mana?' Ayaka tried to channel her mana into the whip she was holding. And the results surprised her. She could barely control the way the whip in his hand move. 'Maybe, if my magic control is better.' Ayaka can be seen smile with a little weird smile.

"For both of you." Yoru looked at Shiiko and Yuko. "You haven't finished your vaccine yet have you?"

Hearing what Yoru said made both of them embarrassed.

"If it really necessary, bring everything you need to complete your vaccine here. You can use the 4th floor as your laboratory."

Shiiko and Yuko then rush outside to get everything they both need to finish the vaccine they want to make.

While the others were busy with their own tasks and training, Yoru was also busy with his own.

"Saeko and the others already have their own equipment. I'd better make my own as well."

However, before Yoru made equipment for himself, he finalized the accessories he wanted to make.

[Are you sure accessories like this can be made]

"I don't know, that's why I'm trying to make one."

[Accessories for changing clothes instantly. I thought it was a little weird.]

"We can't wear Equipment all the time right? We also need to use normal clothes. So, with accessories like this, we can change normal clothes to equipment or vice versa easily."

[I know your reason. But why accessories? Why not just buy magic for this?]

"It's good if there's magic for this. But, in reality, not everyone able to use mana precisely. So, equipment or accessories is the only way for everyone to be able to do that."

After hours of thinking and making mistakes and solving mistakes that happen. Even though it wasn't easy, but all of that paid off with more results than what he wanted.

*

Name : Transformation Ring

Type : Accessories

Function : Stores 5 outfits and allows the user to change clothes between the 5 outfits instantly.

*

"Yup, it worked!!!"

Yoru looks very happy.

[I didn't expect that accessories like this could be made. Even though not as good as the magic with the same effect]

"The magic is better? What's it called?"

[Re-Equip. Part of Space Magic. The difference might be that Re-Equip can store an almost unlimited amount of equipment and accessories.]

"Ah... If it's that magic, I know about it."

[Know? From where?]

"You remember the VRMMORPG "World of Magic" that became a bit of a problem in my memory?"

[Yes, why]

"World of Magic is a video game with the theme of magic like he name. All kinds of magic from all kinds of fantasy are exist there. Although I don't really know much about what kind of magic that exists. But I do know about some of the famous ones. One of them is Re-Equip, I don't know from which series, but I know the user."

[Can you tell me anything you know about the World of Magic. Because, there might be a little something wrong with this game]

"You mean?"

[Besides this is related to your memory. But it's also related to the magic in the game.]

"Is it because similar magic actually exists?"

[Not really. A person's fantasy may arise due to interference from God. So if there is magic that just happens to exist in reality. That's nothing new. However, if the fantasies that humans have thought of become reality, that would be a bit of awe and a bit of a problem.]

"Ah... Do you think some of the fantasies in this game can come true?"

[It's not "It could become reality" but "It's already become reality" that what I'm afraid of. So, can you tell me what this game is like]

"Okay, although I don't know much."

"First, some of the most famous things are the Fate series, it tells the story of the holy grail war between 7 masters and Servants in the form of heroic spirits."

[So that's why you know about the Servant Summoning Ritual.]

"Second is Final Fantasy, although the most famous are Cloud and Sephiroth. But many players imitate the style of clothing from this series."

"There's also Dragon Ball. Even if it's not magic, but a chi control technique or something, I don't really remember. But the most famous one is a DNA filled serum called Saiyan DNA. And an item called Senzu Bean"

[Oh... It's in the shop]

"Eh... Seriously? How much did it cost?"

[100 million points for the DNA and 10.000 point for 3 Senzu Bean]

Yoru was silent for a moment and then continue his word.

"There's also magic that became well known because the character that use it. One of them is Erza Scarlet, she's a Re-Equip user, from what series I don't know. And a samurai-like character using katana that alway shouting "Bangkai" or something."

[Any other magic?]

"Besides Re-Equip, there are dragon slayer magic, god slayer magic, ice make magic, celestial magic, time magic, angel magic, lots of it."

[Ehm... Can you also role play in this game]

"Of course you can, we can make avatars as freely as possible. Similar to a character from a certain series or make something similar to your real body."

[Ah... Did the avatar you make is...]

"Yup, before I was sent here. I was about to log in into the World of Magic with an avatar shaped like Merlin from the Fate Grand Order series. Maybe that's why my body is like this now."

[Hmm... But maybe not because of that. Because you have a hidden status there. And that hidden status is original of that body]

"Hidden status? What is it? Where?"

[Didn't you see your status well after the evolution just now]

Intrigued by what System was saying, Yoru opened the status panel and took a closer look at his status. And sure enough, he saw something new.

"I saw a few things between an apostrophes."

[Yup, it's a hidden status. Status that can not be seen by anyone except the owner. You can't even see this status in Saeko and the others status panel. Besides they wouldn't be able to see any of that unless they had an Eye of Truth. Ha ha ha ha]

"So I can see all of this because third seal of the Eye of Truth has been unlocked?"

[Yeah, you probably didn't pay much attention to the changes earlier.]

"I didn't really pay attention to the changes that occurred, because I was too focused on the ritual of summoning servants. And judging from all this, this body is not fully human."

[It's not. Because the body you use is not the avatar you made. But the real body of Merlin]

Yoru was speechless and didn't know what to say after hearing what System said.

[The body you are currently using. All this time, you think that body is the avatar you made to look like Merlin right. But it's not. It's actually, Merlin's original body, that's why all the potential you have is the same as Merlin's. But you don't have the magic abilities that Merlin has because the soul and memories that are in that body are yours.]

"Wa.wa.wa.wa.wa.wa.wa.wa.wa.waiiiitttttt a minuteeeee!!!! What do you mean by Merlin's real body?! If Merlin really existed, shouldn't he still be alive in the Garden of Avalon?"

[Did you forget about the alternate universe? Merlin from the main universe may still exist, but what you're using is the body of Merlin from an alternate universe. I don't know why you were able to possess Merlin's body, but perhaps the reason you were sent here might be a bit bigger than what you think.]

"Ahhhhhhhh I don't like this."

Yoru looked really worried and tried not to listen to what System was saying.

[Sigh. We have no other choice do we? If I could choose, I don't like all of this either. All of this seems to be confirmed by what we got this morning]

"Ahhhhhhhh.... I didn't hear it. I don't know about it."

[Sigh. Whatever. But sooner or later you will have to accept all of this]

"Arrrgggg!!! I actually don't care about the reason why I'm here. At first I only did all this because I wanted to get all my memories back. But after Saeko and the others, I tried to accept everything without thinking about my memories. But this is…" Yoru looked angry.

"I'm sure all of this has something to do with Origin. And having my memories sealed might be one way of forcing me to do whatever he wants."

[But, the question is "Why is he doing all this?" I'm not sure if he's doing all this just for fun.]

"If you don't know, how can I know?"

Yoru looked very worried considering what was about to happen.
