Chapter 5 : ***** Lesson
----------------------------------------
Ugh, where is this? Who am I?
Ah, right… I’ve become a god huh…. it's still kind of unbelievable…
“Ah, sleepyhead-sama, you’re awake? How’s your feeling?”
“I have a feeling I’ve seen the truth of the worlds…. but I can’t remember it….”
“….. are you sure you don’t need more sleep, o’ sleepyhead-sama? ”
What’s with that sleepyhead-sama thingies?
“I’m fine…probably… by the way, Bell. What are you holding?”
“ara? Obviously I’m holding water bucket to wake you up.”
Please don’t saying something like it’s an obvious answer!!!
Shuu~ haaa~ Calm down…Calm down…
Alright I’m calm. For now let’s reorganize all information I can get.
“Bell, do you have information about my kin? Also, please put the bucket down.”
“Of course, I have it sleepyhead-sama. Do you want to hear it now?”
“Please.” Information first, complaining latter. But they’re ant right… I can’t put too much hope on it though…
“Let’s start from beginning, they are Arcess. They are high-spec creature that able to lift object with 50 times of its weight, they armor like exoskeleton which protect them from harm and sometimes can use magic. They’re great right?”
Well, when you put it that way… they sounds great, but!!
“To put it simply they are magic ant right…”
“They.are.not.ants”
“But ants can lift object with 50 times of its weight, and ant’s body is covered by exoskeleton. The only difference is whatever they can use magic or not, right?”
"..."
"..."
"..."
“Actually, there more fundamental difference between them. The difference in Aturas value”
”Aturas?” what is that’s? it doesn’t sounds tasty.
“Generally, every creature has three Aturas, or sometimes called status or parameters: How humanlike they are – Hume, How Animalike they are – Bestia, And How much their magical cabilities – Magia.”
“Usually how many values on Hume and Bestia parameter will reflect on their appearance. And Magia won’t show on their appearance because its work on the inside, but this isn’t absolute because some, well, many creature showing their magical prowess to deter their foe.”
“Is that’s mean human has maximum Hume value and Animal has maximum Bestia value?”
“No, it doesn’t work like that. It’s like you thought, every parameter has maximum values which is 100 points. Aturas is called status or parameter because of convenience. Because actually it doesn’t work in same way as parameter you think. Aturas is worked like a keys, they open the door to their dormant capabilities. When you have a door opened, they will gain some abilities or traits. Some abilities or traits need more than one doors, sometimes their ability or traits will intertwined together to make new things. There limitless possibilities. ”
“So it’s like ‘you need this many points to unlock this ability’?” If it’s worked like that then this is more interesting than I thought.
“More or less, but there something I must tell you”
“Every.creature.are.not.equals”
Wait what?
“Wait, wait, isn’t
“It’s just a rule of thumb. I’ll explain more on it after a few moments.”
“Goshujin-sama, if you’re thirsty you can drink this.”
“…you re joking right?” NO THANK YOU. WHO WANT TO DRINK FROM A WATER BUCKET!
“Ara, even though I forced to buy this using your Divinity to wake you up…”
“…how much?”
“100D(Divinity).”
“IT’S MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A SET OF FOOD!!” MY MONEEEEEYY
“I’m joking of course.”
“DON’T USE MONEY FOR JO…uuggghh…uuughhh”
“What are you doing Tsukkomi-sama? It can’t be you tried to flip the table right.”
“T,That impossible right!? I’m not that weird.”

“Umu, I can understand that’s feeling. Table fleep is an art.” No, there no way it’s an art right.
“Well, coffee break time is over now let’s continue with this endless infodump.”
“Wait a minutes, I even doesn’t get my drink.”
“Ara, isn’t it you whose reject my kindness to prepare a drink for you?”
“Kindness is not making other drink from bucket!! At least let me drink in a cup!!”
“You can just think it as a pitcher of water, right?”
“You’re not supposed to drinking from pitcher directly you know.” At least as long nobody know its fine.
“Then think it as a big cup of water.”
“Normal drink on normal cup please…”
I’m sorry my brethren, I can’t continue this holy crusade. I’m sorry but I must give up…
***
“So can we continue?”
“Yeees~”
Milk sure is the best!!
“Please wipe your mouth first then we can continue with the explanation.”
*wipe* *wipe*
“Alright, as why I said all creature is not equals, it’s because even they has same potential. It just a potential, for the example, every man can become an astronauts, but how much of them who actually become an astronauts? Some of them will become doctor, carpenter, engineer, artist, or even a God rather than become astronauts. Why is that’s? That’s because every person has different affinity for a job.
Its same with every creature, they have their own affinity. In this case, human can unlock human form traits from very beginning. But it’s different from other creature, maybe creature A can unlock human form when they achieve 50 Hume points or at the worst, Creature B will never achieve it even when they had 100 Hume points.
Now you understand why I tell you every creature is not equals right.”
*nod* *nod*
“That’s why Arcess is different, they’re packed with information, potential, and affinity which make them different than other creatures. They have different way to access from others. They still used Aturas to unlock their potential but it’s not ended with that. Normally, when a Creature’s Aturas reached certain values they the creature will get an ability or trait. But Arcess is different, when their Aturas reach certain values you get to choose from few abilities or traits you can get at that point.
I was given a privilege to ‘create’ a Creature by the grace of Creator-sama. I made a research on how to make a creature have limitless possibilities, and that’s how Arcess born, they’re result of my research, half of my heart, pieces of my soul. They’re my child.
Arcess is born with different,one of a kind Aturas, Branch Aturas – Achrast . At every point you can explore endless possibilities, unlock more and more way to lives.”
Bell explained about Arcess sometimes with vigor, sometimes indifference, sometimes obsession, sometimes kindness.
Maybe this is the so called ‘Love’, a mother’s love.
***
“So, Goshujin-sama. What do you think about Arcess?”
“They are… wonderful.”
Even I’m not satisfied with their forms, I can see they are really high spec creature. Well, let’s see how I can make them cooler.
“I pledge to help and serve you as long you decide to have Arcess as your kin, Danna-sama”
Bell bowing while pressing three fingers on the floor.
She lift her face while smiling, ugh, she’s cute. I hope she’s smiling more rather than wearing that expressionless face.
“Now you’ve acknowledge how great Arcess let’s proceed with basic kin management and development.”
I take that back.
“Um… where is the way out?”
