As the controller had echoed in our minds, a sudden white light glows as it covers me, Gail, and Jant. The white glows were like a healing potion as the pain, wounds, or injuries were instantly healed while also strengthening our strength. We can feel now the strong power in our hands that is capable of killing an ordinary human with just a swat.
As the three of us were completely healed especially my wounds, chopped legs, and serious injury, I was woken up by the two with tears and worry in their eyes greeted me.
"Brother!!!" Jant yelled as he immediately hugged me. Gail was also the same as Jant as they tried to suffocate me.
"Grey! Why are you so stubborn?! Didn't we say that you don't need to push yourself?! What if you had died from that challenge?!" Gail yelled as she let out her complaint to me.
"I'm sorry, Jant, Gail. But.. I.. I just did it for our safety. As.. as I said.. I will protect you two from any danger even if it cost my life." I said to them as I tried to appease the anger and worry inside them. I was feeling a bit guilty but not regretful since my risk was worth it.
"And we also want to protect you, brother. You're not the only one who wants to protect someone that they love. So.. please... Don't put yourself in danger again, okay?" Jant seemed to become my elder brother which just make me comply.
"Well.. let's stop the drama now, okay? I'm fine and still breathing... As you can see. Let's just talk about the notification that the controller said." I tried to change the subject since it's kinda awkward for me now. And also, as possible as I can, I don't want any drama again since I want to live differently from my previous life.
"Okay.. if you say so." The two complied with me as we once again look out for our stats.
"Woah... Now that I look at it again.. we actually improve to Maniac state?" Jant, who didn't hear the system clearly as he was worried about me, was surprised as he become interested in levels.
"Maniac? Isn't it supposed to be level 1, 2, 3.. and so on?" Gail asked kinda curious.
"Well.. even though it's maniac or something, in the end, it still holds the same meaning, that we improved our strength." I said to them... making them agree with me. It looks like as if I'm the leader now, hahaha.
"You're right. And it's all because of you. If.. if you didn't get us 521.2 points, then we will only have 137.2 points." Gail said trying to put the acknowledgment onto me.
"Hey, it's not really like that. Luck was on my side and also, with your help as well. If you haven't given up, our strength will be divided into three, making our endurance weaker." I tried to explain what happened back earlier, making them enlightened a bit, or they already figured it out.
But I believe that they already figured it out and just act to not make me embarrassed since I know that those two were smart. And that makes me feel a bit embarrassed now that I know that they just act for my sake.
"Well, aside from our level, I noticed that we actually have a lot of functions now. Although I don't know some, but the more the better." I said as I was really surprised to see 7 functions.
"Yeah, and also, if not for the Able to mimic, I would already forget that we still need to defeat and transform into humans. I almost forgot it because things just changed too much." Gail said as she tried to transform into a snake.

"Transform!" Gail yelled and after a while.. her spider form turned into a form of a big red snake. Scale that was like a ruby, eyes that shine makes me unable to turn my gaze away from her. She looks stunning in a snake form, or maybe it's because I'm a spider now. I actually haven't liked the appearance of a snake ad I despise them, but now that I look at Gail, I actually like snakes now.
"Wow! Sister Gail.. you look so beautiful! Stunning! I wanna transform now as well." Jant said as he become excited to transform. He anticipate if he would look handsome in snake form.
"Transform!" Jant yelled as well and after a moment, he transform into a big green snake. Scale that was like an emerald, and eyes that was kinda enchanting, he look handsome in his state.
Seeing how the two transform into a beautiful form, I was kinda anxious and scared now to transform as well. I was sure that I would look terrible and will become unfit to be with the two now when we go on another journey. My self-confidence starts to submerge and since I'm kinda prideful.. I will not transform then.
"Brother.. why don't you transform as well?" Jant said as he anticipates to see how his brother will become. He was sure that he would look handsome as well, fitting to be with Gail. In their previous life, the two of us, I and Gail, look really good together that which makes Jant a little envious.
"Well.. it's not necessary. I'll transform when I need to." I tried to reject the offer.
"Grey, don't be like that. We want to see you in snake form. And also, our movements and safety will be enhanced." Gail also tried to make me transform, with her eyes shining looking at me with anticipation. Seeing that eyes, how could I reject her?
"Transform!" I anxiously said as I felt something familiar happen inside me. My blood boiled as if being placed at the highest temperature, while my body began to swell and stretched. It kinda feels painful but the transformation didn't take a while as my back become a long and flexible body with a tail, while my head enlarge and become a bit oblong.
With a white scale like a diamond and green eyes like emerald, I look like a piece of artwork that stunned the two, which makes me misunderstood since I have low self-confidence.
Jant and Gail's eyes widened as I had already expected this since maybe I look ugly and unsightly. I tried to hide my face by looking behind, but the two stop me and looked at me again as if just forcing themselves so they wouldn't make me feel bad.
"You don't need to force yourself to act as if I'm handsome. I accept that I'm ugly." I said downgrading myself getting an unexpected headbutt from Jant.
"Damn you, brother! You're saying you look ugly?! Well, I wish I'm as ugly as you!" Jant felt indignant as he was envious of my handsomeness that I didn't know.
"Grey, you're the same as before, negative. Have some confidence, okay? You look handsome now and even when we're still in our previous life." Gail said to me trying to cheer me up, that make me feel kinda embarrassed and shy. Her face was kinda close and I can't focus on what I should do or not.
"You two, you're making me ashamed now. Stop saying it already."
"Brother, you can't see yourself?! You look so handsome, like our dad!" If Jant has just a hand, he will definitely punch me already.
"Hmmp... Our dad? Of all people why need to compare to him? I just look more disgusting now." I said with a fit of obvious anger towards my dad.
"Oh.. you still hate Uncle?" Gail asked feeling complicated since she doesn't want to ruin the mood.
"Eh? Why do you hate our father?" Jant asked me as he was surprised to see me being angry at Jant. Well, it's also because I never tried to show myself angry, sad, or depressed to my brother, so to make them think everything is alright.
"Yeah. Dad is just a piece of sh*t!"
"Brother! How could you say that to your father? And also... yu.. you actually have this kind of side?" Jant was perplexed seeing me getting angry and saying bad words... not knowing my true self all along.
"Sorry, Jant. Our dad may look handsome, yes, he's indeed handsome, but using his looks to catch girls. Do you know how he change his girl every day from the moment our mom died?" I, remembering how my dad acted before, just makes my blood boil.
"What? You're.. you're lying, brother. How.. how could our father do that?" Jant seems to not withstand the information he acquired and looked at me doubtfully.
"Wait.. wait.. Let's not talk about the past, okay? We are in a different world now..so let's just continue our life and live differently, okay?" Gail seeing how a conflict would arise immediately remediate it.
"Okay." The two of us complied with Gail, as the main objective was already forgotten as silence remain and eat the room.
