Ooohhh... my head... It's aching so hard... What happened? Have I... succeeded?
Where am I? That's dark around, I don't feel my limbs. Am I in the woman's womb?
While I was in my thoughts, unexpectedly I felt how memories returned to me, like a tsunami. I've succeeded. Surprisingly for me, Stephan had ordered to help me, it was unknown whether he thought I might help or just wished to see what I'm able to do.
RBI leader was the worst enemy I had, especially a second one. He looked like a weak one compared to Stephan, but once he changed his attention to me, I felt indescribable pressure. He has been very fast, his eyes looked in all directions, and I'm not sure but seems like he tried to get used to his altered body, otherwise, it's more likely I wouldn't survive enough to end the reincarnation spell.
Eh... that's so good. I'm free now, I no more have to participate in wars. What kind of like is awaiting me? Should I start thinking about my future name, or I should let my parents choose? I'm so excited!
Suddenly, I felt something is changing. My body is moving! Isn't it mean I'll be born soon?! Oooh... What should I do?
Soon, my body seemed to break-through through the thing, stood tall. The little green stem is now taking its deserved sun bath.
Wait a minute! It was me! Am I reincarnated, to the flower? F***! What the f...
Screw it! I'll just reincarnate again! I'll do it until I become a human. I began casting but soon frowned in my mind. I'm a flower... so I can't use my spells anymore. Did I lose them?
In terror, I looked at my stats
******
Name: Number 7
Level: 5
Spells:
Magic Projectile(+): 1lv
Steel Body: 1lv
Infernal Rift(Spatial Rift): 1lv
Rebirth: 2lv
*******
Seeing I still have spells, I sighed in relief. But I lost most of my spells. I have only magic Projectile, steel body, and Infernal rift. It's still an open question, how the hell do I have to use skills? I no longer have a humanoid body.
What was more questioning me now is why I have rebirth level 2. Somewhy I feel I can't use it until I don't get stronger. Is it because it's draining my life to let me be reborn?
*Sigh* I just wished to be a human...
...
In the dark room, two people sit opposite each other. The room looked ancient, and if not for the fact there's not even a pinch of dust, someone might have thought this place is abandoned long ago.
Sainbas felt this place is inconvenient for such an important talk, but he didn't dare to mind.
Jodah, on the other hand, seemed to be relaxed. He looked at Sainbas and asked
-Well, why would you come to me?
-His Majesty ordered me to discuss some matters. First of all, His Majesty was very satisfied with the homunculi performance. He hopes you can produce them faster
-That's not impossible. But we need more resources to produce them. You must know it's very hard to make homunculus with unlimited talent. -When Sainbas heard unlimited, he couldn't help but frown.
-Unlimited but with a short lifetime
-Fufufu. That's the price they have to pay. What His Majesty also asked you to tell me?
-Can you ensure him the secret of making homunculi will never leave your tomb?
-Unless an Educator betrays me. -Hearing that, Sainbas frowned. As if not noticing that, Jodah asked casually
-By the way, has Stephan caught homunculi?
-Regretfully, no. Though he's above 100, he fought against a newborn monster.
-You mean... MC?
-Not only he but also a squad leader with a body alterating spell. He's probably will become a rising star. He attacked Stephan with mc and managed to severely injure him. I saw his injuries, his attacks ripped his flesh.
-You still haven't identified him?
-Ganshar's Kingdom is surprisingly good at hiding information.
-Hmph, alright. Must confirm, that Mc's spell is too unique, I'd like to imprison him.
-Haven't we tried before? -Sainbas smiled. Even though they send a group of the elite to catch him, they failed thanks to the chain of absurd coincidences. Even more. After Mc was saved, seems like they found an ancient ruin, made by the Father of the Mechanical Life! The undercover spy was discovered right after that. This at first glance easy mission ended up with huge losses.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
-Father of the Mechanical Life...
-You knew him?
-No, he used his last masterpiece and disappeared when I was a child, how would I know him?
-Oh... by the way, what's going on in the Family of God?
-It wouldn't be exaggerating to say they're in chaos. A new patriarch was finally chosen. I've got a record of it recently. -Jodah said, pulling out a crystal, he injected some mana, and a screen appeared on it.
God Clan is the most clan that nobody dared to provocate. The members of this clan have great potential, they're way stronger than regular people, and what's more important, almost half of them are mages!
In the other world, only 1 out of 10 have the potential to become a mage, while almost half of them were mages! They're the most famous mercenary family in the world! They live in the underground city, God's Jail.
The legend said God forbade them from leaving the unground city for too long, it's all for the sake of balance in the world. This city is closed, and only a few outsiders have access, Jodah was one of them. Others have to contact intermediaries.
A screen showed a little palace. An old man knelt down toward the screen.
-I am the Poison Clan's Leader. Jodah, I beg you from the name of my clan, can we please move to the Empire you belong to? A new patriarch's reforms will lead us to death. I hope we can find a shelte...
-Who is this old man? Is he really a clan leader? -Sainbas asked
-He's probably using some methods to look like a human, actually he's that monster that poisoned the whole city about 100, no, 140 years ago. That place is still dangerous.
-What!? Why don't you then report it? That's an unprecedented situation! How's the balance in the world will change if we acquire a God family?
-I wanted to, but right after this one, I got another message. -Jodah took out another crystal.
The light of the crystal was projected into a small screen, the same landscape as before, however, instead of the clan members who are bowed, many heads were planted on a stake. A man in his 30s turned his gaze towards the camera. His look made Sainbas shiver. The man cut off the head of the corpse at his feet, took it by the hair, and lifted it up. It was a Poison Clan Leader.
-The poison clan exists no more. They had betrayed our family. Pretend that you have never gotten these messages. That's the family's internal business.
-The new patriarch. Looks ordinary, don't think so? -Jodah chuckled.
-Except for Family's distinctive feature, he really looks ordinary -Said Sainbas. Every member of the Family of God has white hair as if they're clean from all sins. It was widely known that the mighty ones are even able to become an angel.
-If that's all, why don't you leave? Soon I'll be very busy.
-What's it? -Sainbas asked curiously. Despite Jodah being formally an Emperor's vassal, the Crown in fact has no influence on him. The only guarantee he'll not betray them was his tomb. Crown know nothing about what he was doing inside, they sent a lot of scouts, but because nobody ever returned from there, they could only forget about figuring out his secrets.
After all, if they'll be obtrusive, everyone will be happy to accept him. Just his presents alone were enough to make others think twice, so how could they offend him?
-You know less you sleep better. Fufu. -Jodah waved his hand and a portal appeared in the room. Sainbas could only smile dryly and bid farewell.
After he left, Jodah was in deep thought. He pondered his actions.
"What should I do for reaching my goal? With whom I should contact? With eternal night bastards? No, it's too dangerous. Hmm... Patriarch of the Family of God. Yes, he's suitable."
Jodah clicked his fingers. Soon a Lich appeared in front of him.
-Have you called me, master?
-Send a message to the Patriarch. Ask him if he wants to know homunculi's secret. We can sign a secret agreement. He'll get homunculi, I'll get ichor, and immortal serum. There's no space for conversation.
-As you wish, master. -Soon lich turned into a cloud of dust and flew away.
-World's chaos, I'm looking for it. Fufufu -Jodah laughed. His grand plan shall begin very soon
