Bab 50: Unwillingly Blessed With Power
-----
In any case, I'm just thankful it's already over. I was so confused and scared while I was there. I didn't like how these Gods just grabbed me and threw me some blessings to do what they want…
I won't become the slave of these Gods. And… ugh, I'm so tired. I better just sleep for now. I'll see how I handle things afterwards. But I won't do what they want. I am not interested in genocide against demons.
…
As I fell asleep, part of my consciousness drifted back to my Soul Scape as my body rested.
There, I was greeted by Naturia and the System. Both of them seemed concerned.
"S-Sylphy! Are you okay? You just disappeared out of nowhere… what happened?" the System asked.
"Fooo! Foo!" Naturia uttered. She flew around me, giving off the feeling of worry.
"I-I'm fine. Nothing too bad happened. I just briefly met these mysterious Gods. I spoke to some of them, but at the end, I barely got anything out of them… unlike those stories I've read, Gods don't seem so bad. However, they were also quite manipulative. My opinion on them is mixed…" I told them.
"G-Gods…? Like my creator?" the System wondered.
"I don't know. Your creator is not exactly from this world, right?" I wondered.
"Indeed… I don't even know his name, but my creator is not from this world. He supervises reincarnation, and for some odd reason, he also creates Systems and gives them to souls when they travel to other worlds…" the System responded.
"Well, I spoke with the gods behind the humans and the other races in this world… only a few though. I met one of their Chief Gods that… ended up giving me quite the difficult task and even a title as a Hero… ugh, System, am I destined to die hopelessly while fighting against demons now?" I lamented.
"It seems they have already put you into their game… but y-you have me, Sylph. We can pull through this together… and you also got friends and… a family…" the System tried to comfort me.
"I know… I just feel so down now. Ugh, I think I hate these Gods," I could not help but say.
"I wouldn't blame you… to give such a task to such a young girl. They're really inconsiderate," the System said, voicing out my thoughts.
"I have the same thoughts! Oh well. It's not like we can do much now, right? Let's just… swallow this pill and keep going," I said, my tone slightly defeated.
"Fooo!"
Seeing that I was down, Naturia caressed her soft body over my face, as if trying to cheer me up.
"Thank you…" I sighed, hugging the little spirit.
Wait a minute… I just remembered something.
"System, have you not seen any kind of "power" appear around here by any chance?" I wondered.
"Power… yes, there's something right there."
In response, the System pointed out amidst the grasslands of my soul, three glowing orbs of light.
One of them was enormous and gave off bright yellow light while the other two were smaller. One of them was crimson red, the other white.
"Before going out, the gods left these things inside my soul. Perhaps the title by itself is a type of power they bestow? A blessing of sorts… do you think you can use it and extract it into the System?" I asked.
"I… I could try, they do seem like an immense amount of power…" the System replied.
"I'll be counting on you, then," I told the System.
With that, the System, who resembled a glowing sphere of white light, soon got close to the three glowing orbs and began to vacuum them into her own body.
FLASH!
All three of them were easily absorbed into her body. Well, it seems like it wasn't that hard to do.
"Aaaahh! T-This is a lot of power!"
However, soon after, she began to scream as if she was being showered in… pleasure.
"C-Can you endure?" I asked.
"I-I can… Ungh…! Uwaaahh…!"
The System then released flashing streams of light everywhere as her entire "body" began to grow bigger.
"I-I'm solving so many bugs and errors with this… it's working to an extent… ahh… I think I could do something now! Let's see… agh…! T-This is harder than I thought!" she grunted.
I quickly moved near her and hugged her using my astral projection.
Naturia also helped by moving near her. With that, we began to "help" her by supporting the burden with our souls.
"Uuggh… Sylph… Naturia… I-I think it's… over… Hahhhh…!"
The System finally finished sometime later as she fell to the ground.
"My creator made me so badly that even after all of this, I could only extract a couple of powers and stuff… but even then, this power should also be innate within you, so I've not ruined anything, I believe… the stats are still frozen… I can't seem to fix this. However, at the very least, I've formed new skills! I-It's the only thing I can do… even leveling up is impossible due to the stats being frozen… ugh, I'm so useless…" the System could not help but lament.
"You don't have to say that! You did your best. Even the way as you are, you've helped me a lot in becoming stronger… our journey is just starting, alright? Lift up those spirits and let's see what you've made for me," I told her.
"Haah… yes, look at this."
After that, the System suddenly showed some floating windows in front of me, showing what she had created using the power I had acquired.
…
[Hero Seed]
A developing power within your very being. A Hero Seed will enhance your talent and learning speed of all kinds of Magic types and Martial Art types by 10 times.
Your charm over people as a Hero is great. You also have an easier time influencing people, as well as forming bonds with them through the natural charisma of a hero.
Additionally, those who you create bonds with will receive a special benefit in their growth, as they will be catalogued as Hero's Companions.
…
[Divine Protection]
You've been blessed by several gods, giving you natural divine protection that grants immunity to Lesser Status Effects and Lesser Mind-Altering Abilities. Any damage dealt by an elemental attack is increased by 50% while damage you receive from non-humanoids is decreased by 40%.
Additionally, a natural invisible divine barrier around your body shields you from a lethal attack to your soul or body once a day.
…
[Heavenly Sight]
The Goddess of Sight and Heavenly Light has blessed you with her power, giving your eyes the power to see through all matter of things. This Skill includes several effects.
[Hawk Eye]: You can see up to 5 kilometers away from your current position by adjusting your sight as if that area was right next to you like a hawk.
[Lesser Foresight]: You have the ability to see 2 seconds into the future of a certain area or target.
[Identify]: You can identify inanimate objects, see their quality, state, and even delve into who made them and what purpose they might have. Living beings can be identified, but the information given is lesser and depending on the difference in strength, it might give nothing.
…
Before me, there were three amazing skills…
Did Aquarina get the same skills as I did?
All three of these abilities seem amazing from the get-go. For some reason, I'm beginning to regret what I said about you before, Theia-sama!
"These skills are incredible… thanks for extracting and absorbing the energy for me, System," I thanked her.
"No problem… phew… I want to take a nap now, I'm tired…" she said as she let out a long sigh of relief, resting on top of the grass.
