„Just be careful out there, okay?“ (Demon #2)

Said Demon #2, who is the town gate‘s other guard with 1 horn after I told him that I got a job as an adventurer and am going on my first quest right now.

The guards seemed quite surprised that I signed up as an adventurer. It‘s probably because not a lot of girls become adventurers.

Anyway, after I left the city I turned left and started walking towards my destination. While walking there I decided to check out the skills tab of my status.

SKILLS Active: Fire Breath Area Magic Passive: Activated: On Standby: Half Human Transformation (time limit: 9d 18h 36m 5s) Aura Of Intimidation Limiter X Superioror Senses Normal Eyesight (time limit: 6d 18h 36m 5s)   Perfect Body Control  

Pretty interesting skills and all but what do some of them do? I think I know what Fire Breath and Half Human Transformation do, but can I somehow look up what the others do? Oh, there‘s a question mark next to the skills. Maybe it will tell me what the skill does if I touch it? No? Maybe if I focus on it?

Fire Breath:

Shoot an inferno of flames out of your mouth. The more MP is used to charge it the stronger it becomes or the farther it reaches. It‘s advised to take in a lot of air before you use this skill. Consumes X MP/sec.

Ah, so that‘s it. Hmm, I shouldn‘t really use this in a forest or a cave, but otherwise it seems pretty useful.

Area Magic:

This skill will let you use any combat magic as long as the affected area is at least 1km^2. There‘s no upper limit as long as the user has enough MP. You cannot cast any single target magic except for racial and non-combat magic. To use any saved spells say Area Magic - .

As far as I can tell Area Magic is useless in most situations. I‘d need to fight an army for this to work and I‘m just an adventurer. I doubt I‘ll ever need this.

Half Human Transformation:

This skill transforms you into a human with horns or a tail according to your race. The transformation lasts for 10 days straight. If the transformation is canceled there will be a 1 hour cooldown period. To activate/deactivate say transformation on/off.

Well, it does what I expected but that 1 hour cooldown seems really annoying. I guess I‘ll just go out of town before it runs out.

Limiter X:

As long as this skill is activated you will be limited to the average strength, speed and reaction time of a normal person/dragon depending on your current form. Only your Endurance, MP and HP will not be limited, although other people with sensory skills will think that you have a normal amount of MP. This skill will disappear if you have mastered control over your power and it will automatically be deactivated if the owner thinks his life is in danger. Say limiter on/off to activate/deactivate your limiter.

I guess this skill means that I‘m at least above average strength-wise, right? Strong enough to not be able to not control my strength at least? I‘ll test it later.

Normal Eyesight:

As long as this skill is activated you will see the world around you in normal detail. This skill has a time limit, you can only activate it for a maximum duration of 7 days in your entire life. You can deactivate the skill to preserve the duration.

Wait, don‘t tell me!

Deactivating the skill I found out the shocking truth! When I deactivate this I can‘t see shit! How come my eyesight is still this bad even when I‘m in another body and in a fantasy world!? Sigh I guess I‘ll only use this skill for today because it‘s my first day in this fantasy world and when I‘m in a tough battle because I doubt that I would hit my enemies when I can‘t even see them properly.

Perfect Body Control:

Makes your body move exactly how you wish it to.

Just what I need for hard battles. Dodging by a hair‘s breadth and whatnot.

Aura Of Intimidation:

If any beings you don‘t trust and have less than half your stats are in a radius of 500m from yourself they will feel extreme fear. This skill will automatically be activated if the owner‘s mind is unstable. If it is automatically activated only people with less than three quarters of your stats won‘t be affected and all transformation skills will be set on standby. User will also lose all reasoning and attack anyone in his path for 1 day.

Now this skill is nasty! I probably won‘t ever use it consciously but if this skill gets activated automatically it'll be a disaster! I really hope this won‘t get activated all too easily.

Superior Senses:

Heightens the senses of sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch by severalfold. Also increases your sense for danger and improves your reaction time. You can choose which senses you want to enhance.

I think it‘d be best to have this skill activated at all times in case of an ambush. Anyway, let‘s try all the skills I want to test before I decide. I‘m in a wasteland so it‘s not like I could destroy anything important while trying them out.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

I guess I‘ll start with the Fire Breath then, let‘s see.

„Fire Breath!“ (Celina)

... I wanna dig myself a hole! Even if there‘s no one around it‘s still embarassing to say that and then nothing happens! Anyway, if it doesn‘t work with voice commands maybe I‘ll just need to think about the skill and how much MP I want to use? Okay, first I take a deep breath and then I think of using a Fire Breath with 1 MP/sec.

‘crackle’

Out of my mouth comes a small fire that looks like it‘d go out any second! Yes it works! I can use magic! Let‘s try it again with 10.000 MP/sec! Take a deep breath and- !

BOOOOOM

HOLY SHIT IT‘S A FUCKING INFERNO! STOP! STO- ah, i-it stopped. I guess this means I‘m OP, right?

The ground in front of me melted from the heat and became a friggin‘ lake of lava. I can‘t even see where it ends. This skill totally won‘t be used unless It‘s an emergency. I don‘t want to turn this world back to its primal state.

Next up is Area Magic I guess but I don‘t even know any spells. Maybe I just need to imagine its effects and where it‘s supposed to strike? I could try with making it rain on top of the lava I just made.

Imagining it rain in a surface area of about 1km^2 a huge rain cloud started appearing out of nowhere. After a couple of seconds rain started pouring down and a massive amount of steam started to form as the rain hit the lava.

Area Magic - Rain Cloud

Conjures a rain cloud with adjustable size. Must cover an area of at least 1km^2. Consumes 1000MP/km^2/hour.

„Ah, so that‘s what it meant with saved spells.“

After the rain stopped and a small lake formed I went onto the next skill, Half Human Transformation. I wanna know how I really look like, after all.

„Transformation off.“

Suddenly my vision started to shift and pain started assaulting my body. Closing my eyes after falling forward and putting my hands on the ground my body started convulsing and expanding.

„ROAAAAAR!“

After a few seconds of extreme pain I couldn‘t hold in my voice anymore and screamed but what came out wasn‘t a human‘s voice but a dragon‘s roar!

When the pain faded I opened my eyes and saw that I stood at least 20m tall! Looking down I could see two dark blue dragon paws with smooth scales and four claws. Turning my head back I saw huge blue wings and a long blue tail. Everything was covered with smooth little scales although they got bigger the closer they were to my torso. Staring at my reflection in the small lake I saw I had a long neck, a large snout, two vertically slit eyes and two large horns that curved backwards.

I look terrifying but kinda cool at the same time! I like this!

Flapping my wings and slowly taking off the ground felt as natural as breathing and soon I was flying around in the sky. After testing my new body while flying in the direction of the forest for about an hour I arrived at my destination.

Landing at the edge of the forest I decided to test the other skills on the way back and transformed back to my Half-Human form. Taking out the quest paper and a sack I got from Clara I started looking for the plant in the picture. After searching around for 1 boring hour I found the allotted amount of plants and started walking back to town.

Now to try deactivating my limiter. Maybe I‘ll just punch a rock or something.

Thinking that I decided to search for a rock in this endless wasteland. After randomly walking around I found a suitable rock that was about 3 meter high.

Positioning myself in front of the rock I punch at full strength and shout.

„Limiter Off!“

,BLAAAAAAAAM‘

Completely pulverizing the rock with my fist a trail of destruction followed because of the air pressure.

Blankly staring at the damage I just did a smile creeps across my face.

Now this is how I want my adventure to start! To be OP as hell! If I wanted to I could destroy a whole town with one punch! How awesome is that!? If there‘s a demon king here maybe I‘ll pay him a visit sometime hehehehe.

„Limiter On.“

Anyway, for now I‘ll check out my superior senses skill and after that head back to town and do some more quests so I can rank up.

Now, there‘s no instructions on how to use this so I guess it‘s used like the fire breath skill. Imagining my sense of touch to sharpen I suddenly get a strange feeling like thousands of insects crawling all over my body! Gross! Is this because I heightened my sense of touch?

Deactivating the skill the strange feeling went away. Guess I‘ll never use this skill for my sense of touch! I don‘t want to experience that again!

Trying again, but this time with my eyes my vision started literally shooting off into the distance without me even moving! When the town came into view it stopped. Trying to change the distance I figured out I could alter my view in many different kinds of ways, like being able to see even the smallest things like molecules or seeing far distances.

When I enhanced my sense of smell I can smell things from a distance up to a couple of miles. I could also concentrate on a specific smell and block out all others to track it down.

The same with hearing, I can hear the people of the town chattering from here and I‘m also able to adjust how loud I hear it.

By increasing my reaction time it feels as if time slowed down by severalfold and it feels as if I‘m stuck in place. If I deactivate my limiter I‘ll probably be able to move normally.

Sadly I can‘t really test my senses of taste or danger here. I‘ll leave it for another time I guess. Time to head back to town.

„Transformation off.“

I want to get there fast so I undo my transformation and fly back. After about an hour of flying I see the town in the distance so I transform back and walk the rest of the way.

The town guards look quite surprised when I arrive but I don‘t bother to ask why.

I make my way back to the adventurer‘s guild and after arriving I walk straight to the counter. Clara is also surprised to see me. I wonder why?

„I finished the quest. Here are the herbs.“ (Celina)

I hand her the sack filled with the herbs and the quest paper.

„You‘re already back? Normally it takes people at least two days to finish this quest.“ (Clara)

Yeah, I‘m pretty fast when I fly in my dragon form.

„I guess I‘m just fast.“ (Celina)

„Is that so? Anyway, here is your reward. It‘s 3 silver and 50 bronze. I know it‘s quite alot for such an easy quest but that‘s only because it usually takes so long to complete. If you want to I could pick out another quest for you straight away but I‘d advise against it since it‘s already so late.“ (Clara)

„I guess I‘ll just go and eat something then.“ (Celina)

I haven‘t eaten something for half a day and I‘m quite worn out from all the things that happened today so I think I‘ll just go to sleep after eating.

„I know an inn just down the street with good and cheap food if you haven‘t found a place to stay yet. Just take a right after going out of the guild and you‘ll see it at the end of the street. It‘s the only building there with a sign above its door.“ (Clara)

„Okay, got it. Bye.“ (Celina)

„See you.“ (Clara)

Walking out of the door I realized I forgot something.

„Ah shit, I forgot to say thanks again.“ (Celina)
