"You are…Ah Yin, right?"
The beautiful blue haired woman blinked as she looked down at the young man sitting cross legged right before her. Strangely, she felt a deep connection with him, making her want to stay close to him.
"Yes? Who are you? Where am I?"
Al looked at her and smiled.
"Why don't you sit down? This'll take a while."
Ah Yin looked at him and felt her body move before her mind did, and by the time she realised she had already sat down.
"…huh?"
"Oh, it seems you can't disobey me."
((Yup, although her relation isn't high, she's already a part of your soul now.))
"Who?"
Hearing the female voice seemingly resounding in her mind, Ah Yin looked around yet found no one.
"She can hear you?", Al asked with a raised brow.
((So it seems. I guess it's because she is considered a part of you, just like the System and me.))
Al nodded thoughtfully while Ah Yin felt absolutely clueless of what the young man and the female voice in her head were talking about.
"Well, let's start from the beginning.", Al said as he looked at her confused and clueless expression, which he thought looked rather cute on her mature and beautiful face, "You sacrificed your life and died, but because it was a willing sacrifice, your soul, albeit damaged, managed to remain in Tang Hao's Soul Ring."
Ah Yin visibly flinched at the mention of her death. Or was it at the mention of her husband?
"After that…"
Al retold all that he had told Tang San the previous day. Ah Yin listened to it all silently, not saying a word until he finished.
"…and your son helped me in drugging your husband, which gave me the chance to get to you and use one of my abilities to extract your Soul Ring without actually killing you. Then, Ella, the voice you heard…"
((That's me~))
"…helped me fuse with the Soul Ring and use a part of my own soul to 'repair' your soul and mend it. And here we are now."
"…"
Ah Yin remained silent, making Al look towards his other Spirit who had also made her own Soul Ring.
"Snorlax, you alright girl?"
"Snor…"
Snorlax blinked her small, adorable eyes as she sat upright, making Al realise she had gotten bigger. Almost reaching his knees, which is quite a lot bigger than before as he was adult sized now.
"Snor!"
Al smiled as he reached down and lifted her up.
"Wow! You've gotten heavier girl!"
"Snor?"
She tilted her head in confusion, making him chuckle.
"Why don't you show me your ring?"
"Snor!"
A wave of Spirit Power emerged from her body, making a bright platinum coloured Soul Ring appear behind her figure.
"Thus aura…million year old Soul Ring!?"
Ah Yin jumped to her feet as she stared at Snorlax in shock. At the same time, she felt another connection with her, albeit not as deep as the one she felt with Al.
"Snor!"
Snorlax seemed proud as she puffed her belly in pride. At the same time, Al asked Ella to show the details of the Soul Ring.
((Here you go~))
A holographic screen, which was surprisingly yet expectedly visible to Ah Yin and Snorlax as well, appeared before Al.
. . . . . .
Spirit : Snorlax
First Soul Ring
Platinum | 1,000,000 years old
Spirit Skills : [(Thick Fat)] | [(Immunity)] | [(Gluttony)]
Thick Fat - Reduce all damage received by 99.99%
Immunity - Negate poison and toxic damage
Gluttony - Increase effectiveness of consumables by 100% and negate side effects
. . . . . .
((Also, thanks to you fusing a part of your soul with her, giving her access to your perks, the Spirit skills are shared with you too. So congratulations, you now only receive one ten thousandth any kind of damage, are immune to poisons and toxins, and whatever pill you swallow will have twice the effect with no side effect.))
Al's eyes widened before he grinned.
"Damn I just got OP."
((You always were, but yes, you did get a whole lot more OP.))
His grin widened as he tightly hugged Snorlax.
"Thanks a lot, girl."
"Snor?"
Cute Snorlax tilted her head in confusion, but smiled as she was happy when her Papa was happy too.
"By the way, why doesn't she talk to me?"
Al just realised, Snorlax could take to him telepathically, couldn't she? But she hadn't done so since the first time she had spoken to him when she was just born.
((She can. Also, since she got a million year old Soul Ring, even if that isn't her actual age, she should be able to turn into a human.))
Snorlax seemed to have heard Ella as she nodded her head, then large amounts of Spirit Power emerged from her figure, which shone like a Pokemon evolving as her shape changed.
"Papa!"
Her voice, sweet, young, and one which warmed Al's heart, emerged before her figure did, and as red light died down, Al looked down to find a pair of large adorable eyes staring at him.
"Snorlax?"
"Yesh!"
A cute smile appeared on her face as she bit her tongue, making her pout cutely.
Al felt his heart skip a beat.
'So cute! This…she is my daughter?'
((Lolicon.))
Ella clicked her tongue as Al lifted her up and smiled.
"Would you like a name, my cute little daughter?"
"Name?"
"Yes, a name."
Looking at her cute figure, Al wouldn't be able to keep calling her Snorlax. So after some thought, he smiled.
"How about Ai?"
"Ai?"
"Yes, Ai, that's your name from now on. Do you like it?"
"Ai…yes! Ai likes the name! Ai's name will be Ai from now on!"
"…"
Ah Yin looked at the young man before her, who had just named his Spirit whom he also called his 'daughter', and felt speechless.
Fuck, I just realised 1,000,000 year old Soul Rings give 3 Spirit Skills. Oven been racking my brain over which 9 moves to select from Snorlax’s move set as her Spirit Skills…
Oh well, also, her Ai’s appearance in comments.
