I stood up slowly and bent down, holding a hand out for the now female Jackson. I could feel the gazes of Darkeria and Gourch on me but i did my best to ignore it.
"..." She, Jackson, took my hand and i pulled her up to her feet, a small current of electricity surging up my arm and to my chest. ... Fuck... I refused to believe that i had just felt the cliche "love zap".
Once Jackson was standing up properly, i let go of her hand and walked over to the window, a small sigh leaking from lips.
"... ... ..." I couldn't think straight after witnessing the destructive power of my magic firsthand. I'm sure if i was any other protagonist, I'd be jumping for joy at this sudden development. Unfortunately, I was not some other protagonist and i was fairly peeved at what had happened.
"I feel like the author is trying to fuck with me somehow..." I muttered to no one in particular, my words, thankfully, not reaching anyone's ears. I placed my hand on the glass and closed my eyes, letting my mind wander for a few minutes.
"... Um... Nick..-San?" A soft, melodic voice reached my ears and i shivered, goosebumps forming on my skin. ... And a voice of an angel... -sigh- I turned around, taking my hand of the glass and facing towards the now seated Jackson.
"... Yeah..?" I just wanted this to end already, my nerves reaching their limits.
"Thanks~ I really like my new body~ I've always wondered what it would be like to be a girl~." She almost sang those words out with a gorgeous smile plastered to her face.
-thump thump- ... You better stop doing this, oh heart of mine... I am not going down this route.
Thankfully my inner struggle wasn't noticed by anyone as i smiled slightly to Jackson and nodded, albeit a tad awkwardly.
"Well... I suppose this counts as being a totally different person... shall we head back out to the main office and have you all sorted out now?" Gourch looked slightly troubled as he rose from his chair.
"...Yeah let's get this out of the way... Oh yeah.." I turned towards Jackson. "Should we change your name? Is that possible?"
The one to answer was Gourch. "Yes we can do that. Since the id card he- SHE, will be receiving is a new type. It doesn't automatically evolve and has to have the initial basic information applied to it."
I nodded to his words. Hmmm... I pondered for a moment, staring at her mostly bare chest.
"Oh!" I -pon- slapped my fist into my palm. "I better create some clothes for you first." I held my hand out and formed a black, buttoned blouse and a knee length black skirt along with a black bra and panties. They fell onto the couch and i smiled.
"..........Thanks." She picked them up and began to strip her current attire after i turned around.
A few minutes later an extremely cute 18ish looking elf girl stood before me dressed all in black. I nodded, "Fumu, perfect".
"You really can do anything can't you?" Said Gourch as he pressed the button near the window again before going up and opening the door.
We followed him back out and to the booth he was at when we first arrived. It seemed that around 2 hours had passed since we started talking in his office and the amount of people inside had grown larger in number.
"""""""...""""""" The room turned deathly quiet and i could feel everyone's gazes fall on us before i realized as to why.
"Shit... I forgot to put my wings and stuff back on! Why didn't anyone mention that to me...?" I began to panic a little, some sweat starting to form on my forehead.
Gourch turned around and looked at me before shrugging and laughing.
"Bahaha! At least 80% of the people in this room already know about you, you know. The only human (Maybe) to receive the attention of Darkeria. No one is going to treat you badly just cause you're human (Maybe) now."
"I see... I suppose i should be thankful for that then... But how the hell do so many people know about me?" I was confused to no end at this sudden development.
"Every adventurer, guard and citizen inside the walls received an email and sms last night with details on your appearance and that you were guests of honor. You're pretty much the most famous people in the city right now."
He turned back around and headed for his desk behind the booth before sitting down and operating the computer. We followed him and stood on the other side of the counter, waiting for him to set up the procedures.
"For you and Darkeria, I'll need to scan your cards and imprint the new data onto them. And as for Elf-Chan, I'll need to set it up from scratch and issue her an id card." He said after everything was ready.
"Well first we need to give Jackson her new name..." I paused for a moment. "How about... Chio Bladeheart? She does have that crest on her now, and i did, for the most part, create her. I suppose we can think of her as a daughter that's older than us?" I just threw it out there but apparently she liked it.
"Really? Yay, thank you~" She leaned over and hugged me, her breasts pressing into my arm. ... At least Darkeria isn't getting jealous or murderous... I patted Chio's head gently and felt a few murderous gazes from the surroundings pierce into me. I shivered a little before i felt an aura of blood-lust start to emanate from Darkeria. I looked at her and saw her gaze wandering amongst all the men in the building, and one by one, the gazes i felt just a minute ago began to disperse.
"... Thanks Darkeria..." I murmured before gently pushing Chio away and facing Gourch again.
"... Ahem. Well then, shall we get started?"
~~~~~
After the procedures for myself and Darkeria were done, (I made it so we both started at G rank), it was finally time for Chio to register. When that was finally done, we turned to her and i whispered to her, "You want an old type?"
I could see Gourch raise an eyebrow and Chio stared at me with wonder before replying, "Yes!~ Please~"
I held onto her card and then formed my own in the other hand, scanning the composition and mana flow of both of them. I closed my eyes and focused my mind towards Chio's card and then my own.
I opened my eyes and dismissed my own card before smiling a little.
"The good news is, I figured out how to make an old type. The bad news is, I can probably only do it 5 or 6 times total before I lose the ability to do so."
"""...""" All three of them stared at me in shock for a few moments. I ignored that, a small twitch coming to the corner of my lips.
"Here goes then~" I forced my mana and some of the surrounding elements into the card. After a few moments it began to shine slightly and vibrate, before settling down and keeping a faint dull black glow. A few patters had appeared on it along with the Bladeheart engraving and a bright green cloud.
I passed it back to Chio and watched as it merged with her soul and disappeared.
"Oh wow. So many strange sounds~" She giggled a little, most likely hearing the sounds emitted during the connection sequence.
After a few moments, i told her to summon it into her hand and show us what it looked like.

"Well the passive skills are mostly similar to mine... I feel sorry for you though... Those titles and that mana level..."
I sighed before summoning my own card into my hands. Just before i could check it, a strange message popped up in my field of vision. "..."
Darkeria Invites You To The Party
Do You Accept?YesNo
I clicked yes and saw another window show up notifying me that Darkeria and Chio were party members.
"..." Cliche... I shook my head slightly and then brought my eyes to my status. A few new titles had appeared and my race had become strange again. I had also gained a new active skill and my chaos affinity had risen. "..."

"So with this I'm finally an adventurer~ Sweet." I grinned widely and sent my card back before facing Gourch.
"Thanks for the help Gourch-San, it was much appreciated."
"... Are you just going to ignore the fact that you created an Ancient High Elf of all things?!" He shouted quietly, causing me to jump in fright.
"Is that a bad thing?" I tilted my head after patting my chest.
"..." He sighed once before dismissing me with a wave of his hand. "Don't worry about it kid..."
After a few minutes of idle chatter he finally got to the most important part.
"There are a few ways to raise your rank and status in the guild association."
"The first is through doing quests. You can accept quests for your own rank, 1 rank above, and 1 rank below. You cannot accept or turn in, quests of 2 ranks above or below your own with the exception of SSS, Z and star ranks."
Oh! 2 more ranks after SSS~ I nodded my head and signaled for him to continue.
"The second way to raise your rank is... A little more frowned upon. You can pay a large sum of money to the guild after you prove your capability for the rank above your own. Only a few people have ever done this. It may be a few but it's still a large number in the range of a few thousand people."
"The third way is only available to those with the old type. There is roughly 23,599 other registered adventurers besides yourselves that have an old type. All you need to do is go around liberating area of the city or area in other kingdoms, that are infected by the chaotic mana. It all gets recorded into the status plate itself so you don't need to worry about gathering proof of your accomplishments."
The only other way at this point in time, is to defeat a large number of monsters and collect anything from their corpses that could be used as proof of kill. You would need an incredible amount to go up a rank, but, all accomplishments are kept tallied in your profile in our database. So it's not like you need to bring them all in at once to gain recognition. At the same time as this, you can attempt to raid a dungeon and bring back the dungeon core as proof. This also works but is incredibly difficult."
"I see, I see. Thanks for the rundown, it really helps. Is there any restriction on the type of monsters we can hunt at our level and rank?" I was particularly interested in this particular issue.
"Yes and no... As long as you can prove that the items aren't stolen, you can bring in trophies from powerful monsters that would otherwise be seen as impossible for you to hunt. But generally we won't accept items of a certain level from low rank adventurers. It's up to the adventurer themselves to hunt whatever they want. But there are penalties for those who are caught breaking any rules or stealing from other adventurers."
I thanked Gourch and then remembered something from this morning.
"Oh yeah Gourch-San."
"What is it?"
"A man named Gregor sent us here. He said if we mentioned his name it would make things easier... Seems it wasn't necessary after all."
"Hoh~ Gregor did huh..." He smiled before waving us off and going back to filing reports on his computer.
I led us outside and stretched, taking in the mid morning sunlight and pondering on what to do next.
It was only a few minutes later that a loud roar came echoing from inside the Dead Zone and a large tremor shook the entire area.
"""...""" An irritated look came to all 3 of our faces as a giant four legged creature as big as a truck came into view a few hundred meters away.
"-sigh- Shall we get started on our debut?" I muttered before starting forwards toward the beast.......
Slightly short chapter with a cliffhanger~ Sorry guys~ I'll try to get the conclusion done later but right now i have things to do down the street for a few hours QQ have fun~
