Capítulo 123: Chapter 123: The Glutton of a System
"So, um Rose. Mind explaining the massive expulsion of power that came from the bathouse?"
I walked into the guild hall and saw a bunch of people with tired looks. Almost as though they were saying, 'What have you done this time?'
Mammon, Jalad, and Dallel in particular held this expression.
"Okay, meet Luma."
"We already have met-"
Luma walked in, using robes I made for her.
"Hello individuals Mammon, Dallel, Jalad, Da-"
"Rose, what is this?"
"Luma."
"… Rose…"
"Yes, Mammon?"
"Why does the ****ing system have a body?"
"She asked."
"AND YE- *deep breath* Ye just gave 'er one?"
"Yep…"
Jalad facepalmed.
"Why am I even surprised at this point?"
"Frankly, I don't know."
Dallel sighed.
"Well, it's already done. May as well just be okay with it."
"Indeed, individual Dallel, now that I have a body I can be fully independent, of course I will still run the system as normal, but I can help you more efficiently now."
"Could you not call me 'individual Dallel'? It's odd. Just call me Dallel."
"Okay, Dallel, I assume the rest of you would like something similar?"
"Yes please."
"Very well."
She froze for a moment.
"Settings updated, will now refer to all individuals of the Junior Faction ruled by Dallel by their names."
She looked around.
"One last thing."
I tilted my head.
"What is- URGH!"
[THE SYSTEM LUMA HAS SWORN LOYALTY TO YOU]
"GRAAAAAAAAAAH"
[DUE TO THE POWER DIFFERENCE THE SYSTEM LUMA HAS BOLSTERED YOUR POWER BY 50%]
"What's happening to her?!!"
[YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE UNIQUE TITLE, PROGRAMMER.]
I began coughing out blood.
[YOU HAVE NOW GAINED THE SPONSORSHIP OF SYSTEM LUMA, YOUR ASCENSION IS NOW POSSIBLE IF YOU COMPLETE THE REMAINING REQUIREMENTS.]
Then the pain receded, and I coughed a bit more, then I looked at Luma with an exasperated look.
"Next time you do something like that, *Cough* please warn me."
It was at that point that I realized that my body had half entered FEAR. I entered my normal state and stood up, wiping blood off my mouth.
Luma looked sheepish.
"Sorry, I didn't realize you would be affected so greatly."
Mammon still had a look of shock.
"What happened to ye?!"
"Luma decided to swear loyalty to me."
"Okay? So why would that happen?"
"To put it simply, you know how nation gives you up to a 50% power boost depending on our power difference?"
"Yes?"
"She just gave me a 50% power boost."
They froze.
"Oh…"
"Plus, it was like the world itself was yelling at me."
Luma nodded.
"It was surprisingly loud."
"It also stated that you were the system and not an individual."
"Of course, I am closer to AI then life. At least I used to be."
She then smiled, and it was so pure.
I looked over at Dallel who sighed.
"I suppose we can't do anything about it now. Welcome to the team, Luma."
"Thank you for welcoming me, Dallel."
Silas smiled.
"May as well get you something to eat."
"Thank you."
She smiled again.
Silas entered the back and got some food for both of us.
Luma turned to me.
"By the way, Rose, if you want you can evolve nation."
"I can? What are the requirements?"
"I could wai-"
"No, I want to get stronger in my own right. So, what are the requirements."
She smiled.
"As I thought you'd answer, you have already fulfilled the requirements."
"What?"
"Actually… you would need to regain control of the junior faction."
"Why?"
"The two requirements to evolve Nation is the title Sacrificer and ruling 10 worlds."
"Oh… well, I guess we'll have to sit on that for a-"
"Hey, Luma, could you give command to Rose?"
"Of course, the junior faction ruled by Dallel has had ownership transferred to Rose."
"D-Dallel?"
"I was never fit for being an absolute ruler, you are though."
"Th-thanks."
I smiled and so did Dallel. Then he smirked.
"Besides, you cause way less disasters as a leader."
"HEY!!!"
Everyone in the hall laughed.
Then Luma looked with a smile.
"Do you wish to evolve nation now?"
"Sure."
Then her eyes glowed.
[Your skill, Nation, has reached the point of its final evolution. You have evolved this skill to its peak.]
[The Skill, Nation, has evolved into Empire. You can now gain the loyalty of more people, and you now give up to a 75% boost depending on the power difference.]
[NOTICE: due to the affiliation of the System, Luma, your 50% boost has been upgraded to a 75% boost.]
"That is certainly a useful evolution."
"What did it do?"
"I now give a maximum 75% boost."
"That is useful."
"Yes it is."
Dallel looked happy.
"What's my boost at?"
I checked.
"70%."
"Nice."
Thalia came in quickly. She kicked through the wall and Mammon sighed.
"Maybe I should just put a sign there that says second entrance."
"Hmm?"
"I mean. THE DOOR IS TWO FEET AWAY, BUT ALL YE PEOPLE KEEP BREAKING ME ****ING WALL!!!"
"Sorry, anyways I felt a massive surge of power and wanted to be sure everything was okay."
"That was these two idiots."
"Rose, expected. And who are you?"
"Heh? I believe I heard something."
"Did you now, so who's this cute kid."
"I am Luma, Thalia."
"Luma? As in Luma the system?"
"Yes."
Thalia looked at me.
"Rose?"
"Yes?"
"What is this?"
"It's Luma."
"Why does she have a body?"
"She asked for one."
Thalia put her hands in her head.
"Of course… why would I expect anything different?"
"I don't know."
Thalia sighed.
"I'm guessing that was the surge of power?"
"Yep."
"Okay, so, what are you going to do now?"
"Singlehandedly take a middle level world."
Mammon spit out his drink and Silas dropped the wine bottle that he was holding. Everyone else looked at me in absolute shock except for Luma.
"Why are you going to do that?"
Luma smiled.
"It is the specialized prerequisite to gain the title Conqueror which she requires for her ascension."
"Specialized?"
"Yes, due to her unique nature, titles have a greater effect, so, as a countermeasure, the requirements to gain them are more difficult."
That interested me.
"What do you mean unique nature?"
She looked at me.
"You are simultaneously human, deity, dragon, and soul shard, and you appear as a catkin. That is quite unique."
"Huh, I never really thought about that."
"You are like an amalgamation of powerhouses."
"I am?"
"Humans have the greatest potential of all species. Deities have the greatest natural abilities. Dragons have the most adaptability and most powerful elemental power. Finally, as a Soul Shard, you are more a spiritual being like angels, meaning you are far harder to kill, and more effective against other spiritual beings."
"Huh… cool."
"Indeed, cool."
"Alright, Ms. System, here's some food."
"Thank you, Silas."
She took a bite of the food and froze.
A tear rolled down her cheek.
"Is this what I've been missing? I love it so much."
Jalad snorted.
"And thus, is born another glutton."
Both me and Luma glared at him, causing him to focus on his food.
Dallel started laughing.
