Chapitre 39: New Identity
It had been one year and six months since Grey was reincarnated as an [Anon] alien species. Throughout this time, especially since Princess Quintella's slumber of transformation, many unanticipated things transpired.
From the [Kill List] where the victims were thrown in the dark; from making a connection to the outside world; from deterring the [Piercing Light] fired by the Luminous Princess, and from establishing the Truth Agency that turned out to be a failed business due to the lack of identity.
After all, who would want to have the service of something that just sprouted out of nowhere?
"You're a bit late." Standing in front of the Specialized Anoboid Capsule exclusively for Princess Quintella, Grey muttered, a hint of a smile on his countenance.
According to the DNA Modification, it was set for the special subject to wake up when she reached 17 years old. However, for some reason, Princess Quintella opened her eyes after reaching eighteen (18) years old. What's more, there was something that Grey had noticed in regard to the Anon Folder: [Fated Path] – the existing independent folder outside the full control of the Extraterrestrial System.
"Happy Birthday."
What he had noticed was… every subject mentioned in the [Progressive Missions] had the same birthday as him. It was also the same case for the Lost Demon Queen, whose traces were presumably in another dimension rather than the Dark Lands.
Fully clothed thanks to autonomous Anoboids, Princess Quintella sat on the opened experimental capsule, "Thank you, Oppa."
Grey smiled. He was aware that during her deep slumber, Princess Quintella's subconscious was in a dreamy, virtual reality state. Then, based on Krishnaya's suggestion, she was transported to Earth during the time when Grey was a first-year college student.
It was the reason why she had learned many things about this now alien being.
"Stretch up first. Meet me at the headquarters." Grey said before continuing, "Also… let's celebrate our birthdays."
"Okay, Oppa." With a different appearance compared to when she was nine years old, Princess Quintella responded with a gleeful expression.

'Scan' Grey mumbled.

"What the hell is this? I feel like we've created an overpowered being, Krishnaya."
The [Fated Path] possessed many subfolders or categories, which included but were not limited to [Species Creation]; something that became the basis for Princess Quintella's transformation. Even though some of these subfolders were [Sealed] for reasons Grey had yet to know, this seeming virus on the system was proven to be the embodiment of mysteries.
Then, to his surprise, before Princess Quintella finished preparing herself to meet him, the Extraterrestrial System informed him.
Ding!
[A Sealed Subfolder on the Anon Folder: Fated Path has been unlocked!]
[Subfolder Name: The Boon of Existence]
[Master…]
'Yes, open and scan everything.' Grey inwardly said.
Ding!
[Scanning the contents of the Subfolder: The Boon of Existence… Processing!]
What Grey witnessed pertained to a list of coordinates throughout the World of Magica. But if there's something that caught his attention the most, it's the description that says…
[An Anon Scientist's creation brings joy to himself. For every accomplishment, he shall be rewarded.]
[Please refer to these coordinates and find a certain treasure befitting an Anon Scientist!]
[This will be the first step towards the true foundation of the Alien Empire!]
"Damn it!" Grey cackled. He was not certain whether or not to rejoice due to the realization that maybe he was truly free from the grasp of what's behind the nature of the Extraterrestrial System… like who put the [Fated Path] folder in the Alien Archive that even Krishnaya had no memories of?
"If this is what you want… Fine. Let's play this long game."
"Oppa…"
At that moment, Princess Quintella interjected, her presence welcomed in the Host's Headquarters.
"Oh, you're good now? Let's eat first before going to register your new identity."
Princess Quintella smiled.

Underground of Filth District, Main Branch of the Shadow Guild, Capital City of Candela, Holy Empire of Lumenasia.
"You haven't forgotten my last request last year, have you?" Donning the seemingly unchanging laboratory coat, something that Grey refused to change for reasons only himself was aware of, he faced the Guild Master of the Shadow Guild, Borax Doranfell.
"Is she the one you're waiting for?" Borax Doranfell scrutinized the eighteen-year-old girl whose beauty was otherworldly.
Princess Quintella's features were transformed through Body Transformation. Her previously crimson eyes were now amethyst, similar to Grey's. Her long golden hair was now platinum while her skin remained flawlessly fair. What's more, her demeanor seemed more mature and exuded familiarity in the world of nobility.
'Is she perhaps a noble…?' Borax thought before hearing Grey's answer,
"Maybe."
Borax scoffed. He then said, "All right. Give me the name, birthdate, and everything you need. I'll send it to the information broker working in the Empire's Civil and have the identity card delivered to your desired address."
Empire's Civil – similar to Earth's version of the post office where births are registered. The difference though was that everyone from the moment of birth needed to be registered and that the second time was subjected to questioning and even death.
Hearing this, Grey looked at her with questioning eyes.
"What name do you want?" He asked.
After a few seconds, Princess Quintella replied, seemingly unhesitant as though she had long thought of it while asleep, "Yeri. I will become Yeri from this moment onwards."
"Yeri? How about the surname?" Borax asked.
This time, Princess Quintella looked at Grey.
"Anon. Yeri Anon." Grey said.
After that, the information sharing proceeded, which finally resulted in this:
Name: Yeri Anon
Age: 18 Years Old
Birthdate: Abril 05, 796 (Current Date: Abril 05, 814) of the Fantasia Calendar.
Father's Status: Dead
Mother's Status: Dead
Brother: ...?
When asked about the relationship between the two, Grey said, "Fill it as a brother-"
However, Princess Quintella shouted, "No! Please proceed with stepbrother."
Borax looked at her suspiciously.
