Well, shit.
Just what I want to hear, definitely looking forward to it. “Guess this is not something you can remove via Question right?”
“No, none of us working as an individual or collectively can prevent these.”
“Extradimensional Space?”
“You’ll need to ask World more about that, he knows it and the Shakes better than I do.”
Well thats something else to add to the list, now lets ask a big one.
“Did Knowledge let you know of my idea for my Power?”
“No, with your permission?” “Sure.”
Going silent for a moment, Creature opens his eyes and looks at me with an interesting, curious look. Necromancy is a forbidden power that was placed on a restricted list, no one should be able to create a necromancy power “An interesting idea, but how is this not necromancy?”
The Solo Levelling Power used by the main MC is a Power that can “raise” the dead to life in service to him, I want to twist it so that the residual mana from defeated monsters which have a tiny chance of becoming mana beasts instead are forced into becoming a mana beast and living on.
“From my understanding Mana Beasts are the mana of a dead monster whose mana sticks around in its form, it then continues to “live” until something comes along and kills it off. What I want to do is not so different.”
“You want to force a creatures mana to remain present, ruled under your control.”
“Yes, I do not want to bring it back to life, just let its mana retain form under my control.” And with a shake of my head “Well I say control, I'll be giving them free reign to do things they want to do, just need them to help when it comes to it. Like my clones, I need them.”
“Hmm, I am unsure. There are rules at play here. What would happen if they wish to be released from your service after a time? Or need to disappear like your clones? The original Power had them hide in his shadow.”
“My idea that was for me at least they can work like the Clones, memory and personality added to the memory palace. Using their talents as a Mana Beast they would be able to hide in the shadows of a target easily.
If they want to leave permanently that is fine, I'll give them back to you and you can talk with them about it.”
“You feel they belong to me?” “Well I don’t know how you do things here but I figured that a god who looks after and creates animals would want a say.”
After a long pause Creature replies “If you can persuade Power of this, I will grant this, it is just enough to be different in our view and the culture of the peoples.”
“Understood and thank you.” before moving on Creature adds, “Knowledge let me know what you meant by “I need them” you truly feel that way?”
“Yes” I replied without hesitation, with a tilted head ask “I thought Knowledge had to keep things to himself?”
“We work together a lot, we can share most things between each other but not the people of the world.” I see I suppose.
“Are there any major genetic differences between Earth and Land or Land with other domains?”
“Nothing too major, about 3% difference between the humans of Earth and Land, other Land races have a difference of about 4 to 5%. Between the different domains it is approximately 10%.”
Your biology is quite unique and yet scarily similar to the other humans on this world.” “Not that much of a difference?” “No, aside from the Well, Network, bacteria and some genetic markers, basically identical.”
“Well then, shall we get on with the big Questions?”
“Please!” he says, moving a hand and a tree grows under my feet, forming into a chair behind me. One also appears for Creature as well, I take a seat.
“Well my first question would be more of a request for information.” A nod from Creature prompts me to continue “I understand there are many races that live in this world, even though I haven’t really had a chance to meet any yet.
I would like biological information, as in depth as the medical science from Earth. Knowledge can confirm that I have a slightly higher level of knowledge in the medical field compared to the average guy from back home. With the changes with the Well and Network I’m in need of a refresher, and why not ask the one who knows biology best?”
“Medical based knowledge showing the intricate details for each race, I can grant you this however it will be limited to this Domain only. And you will need to study to gain access to more. Granted”
“Thanks, the second question is similar to the first, but for animals and monsters. Their weak points and location of organs, and if possible integrated into the System Interface. And maybe at higher levels the HP and possible Powers they might have. I should add this would not affect people.”
“An interesting request but nothing I haven’t heard of before, Granted. But again with the first, you will need to study to gain access to more information.”
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“I just about figured as much, the third question is a bit different. Knowledge was able to learn just about everything about Earth by reading the minds of everyone in that instant with the Crossing, he must have also learnt about foods.
My request would be for the knowledge of cooking, seasoning and other stuff cooking related. I want to know what meats and processes are best to make food that tastes like Earth foods, what fruit tastes like Mangos or what tastes like Chicken here? That kind of information and more if you would grant it.”
“Normally people would ask Knowledge a question like this but I can see why you would ask me, Granted. But like before, you will need to study it to gain more access.”
“Cheers, I’ll be honest but I didn’t think that would work. For the food one that is.” chuckling Creature replies “Ahh it's fine, anything else?”
“Yes actually, I’m guessing you have knowledge of the animals from Earth right? Real and fictional?” “Yes, correct.”
“Do you plan on creating them anytime soon?” “I cannot just create an entirely new animal or monster and introduce it into the ecosystem, but if there comes a time where I need a Dragon slain I'll let you know.”
Comforting “Well thanks for your time but I need to also have a chat with Power and World so should be getting a hustle on.” I say standing up from my tree chair.
“Oh that's quite alright, it has been quite interesting to talk with you.”
“Thank you, mind if I come back sometime, ask some more questions?”
“Please do, it would be my pleasure. Perhaps I'll see you around?” “Maybe, cyas.”
With a wave from Creature and a short walk away I exit from the little door, the priest is outside waiting for me with Abcier. Didn’t even notice he didn’t enter.
“How’d it go?” Abcier asks, “No troubles at all, Creature is quite a chill dude actually. Though I am a bit worried he might try and create a Dragon for the hell of it.”
“Dragon?” says both priests, “Yea it might be best you don’t know for now. Anyway, lets get a hustle on, gotta talk with Power now and thats gotta be a fun one.”
