[AN] Hey guys, I have decided to change the writing style a little bit. It gets annoying to write "blah blah blah," said X. Over and Over again. So now, it will read, "Blah blah blah" (X) with names in parenthesis. If it is within a single 'x' like that, it is a character's thought. That's all, hope you enjoy reading![/AN]
Hello once again, fellow readers. Examining where I currently stand at the moment, or rather, fall at the moment, I am once again falling through a black hole. This is getting a bit annoying. Wonder if I can get some kind of title for it...
"SPEAK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE, LITTLE BROTHER!" (Gabriel)
Notice!
You have received a skill!Frequent Flier of Black Holes
'Eh? Seriously? I was just kidding...'(Me)
'Well, I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. What does it do though?'(Me) "Description."
Frequent Flier of Black HolesYou have traversed black holes frequently, and was caught bitching about it! Taking pity on you, the Archangels have given you this skill. You fall 50% faster through black holes, and experience no disorientation upon exit!
Seriously? I'll probably never even use this skill again... Oh wait, I'll be able to manipulate space, meaning I can create black holes as a form of transport, so this skill would actually be pretty useful! Thanks Anikis!
"Oh, we forgot to give you a skill before you left. Here it is now." (Michael)
Notice!
You have received a skill!Little Brother of the Seven Archangels
Oh cool! What does this one do? "Description." (Me)
Little Brother of the Seven ArchangelsWARNING! DO NOT FUCK WITH THE HOLDER OF THIS TITLE! HE HAS SEVEN EXTREMELY OVERPROTECTIVE OLDER BROTHERS WHO WILL WRECK HOUSE IF YOU HARM HIM! They may not be able to directly interfere on this plane of existence due to their massive power, but they can invoke divine disasters, so be wary. This is a hidden title, and will only appear into visibility for others right before it is activated.
Overprotective Brother skill. Well, things just got a lot more interesting.
At this point, I stop falling through the black hole. Oddly enough, things are still pitch black around me, I can't even see myself anymore. However, it is extremely warm at least, so I feel quite comfortable. I can hear people speaking in the background.
"Push ma'am push! The baby is coming! Push!" (???)
"YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU FUCK-NUT PIECE OF SHIT DOCTOR???? I CAN TELL THE BABY IS COMING! MY WATER BROKE 5 HOURS AGO! WHY THE HELL ISN'T IT OUT OF ME YET??? IF IT DOESN'T HURRY AND COME OUT, I WILL TURN YOUR BALL SACK INTO A COIN POUCH FOR MYSELF!" (Royally pissed off lady, who seems to be my mom)
"Uh-uhm, uhhhh...." (Less certain sounding doctor) "I see the head! It's coming out!" (Noticeably happier doctor... I'd be too if I found out that my family jewels wouldn't be stolen)
At this point, I feel a tight constriction around my head, as I seem to be getting pushed out of the womb and birth canal.
'OW OW OW OW, IT HURTS! IF IT HURTS THIS MUCH, NO WONDER BABIES SCREAM WHEN THEY COME OUT!' (Me)
At this point, I am fully out, and scream with all the displeasure I can muster. "WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
"That is the sound of one happy baby! It's a girl!" (Happy doctor)
Oh. SHIT. NO! NO! I DO NOT WANT TO BE GENDER BENT! http%3a%2f%2fwww.nooooooooooooooo.com%2fvader.jpg [http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com/vader.jpg]
"Uhm, doctor, turn the baby over..." (random lady in the room)
"Oh, uhm, oops. It's a boy!" (incompetent doctor) "What are you going to name him?"
"She said to name him Messor Mors." (Deep, oddly comforting man's voice)
Ok, that's one crisis averted... But this doctor SHOULD have his family jewels turned into a coin purse after putting me through that. As I was moving along this train of thought, I feel someone rush and grab me, followed by an extremely painful prick in the back of my neck. I rapidly lose consciousness at this point. The last thing I hear is lots of screaming.
Upon waking up, I am finally able to view my new world. Looking around, I seem to be in some kind of crib.It is pure white, and bountifully decorated with pillows of all shapes, sizes and colors. It's a veritable pillow rainbow! I wonder what that prick in the back of my neck was all about... Well, it probably wasn't that important. I feel quite hungry at the moment, but I am unable to move my limbs on my own...I start crying to try and get someone's attention so I can eat.
"WAAAAHHHHHH!" (Me)
"Oh! The baby is awake! I'm coming sweety!" (Woman) "Here, mommy will feed you now!"
Overhead appears a woman around 40 years of age, with faded blonde hair. Her face has the worry wrinkles appearing on her forehead, but still has the skin complexion of a 25 year old. Overall, I wouldn't call her drop-dead gorgeous, but she still has decent enough facial features to turn a few heads. She brings me to her moderately endowed breasts and begins breastfeeding me. You would expect me to be embarrassed right? Wrong! I was too hungry to care. It tasted quite similar to regular milk back on Earth, but slightly sweeter, and warmer.
"Mommy's little angel." (Mom) She has no idea how close that came to being true. For some reason though, her voice sounds slightly different than when I was first born. I attribute it to labor pains. After that, she finishes feeding me, and places me down in the crib after burping me. I fall back asleep, but for some odd reason, I feel us moving afterwards.
[7 Months Later]
At this point, I am finally able to travel under my own will. By crawling. I began to investigate into my new home. All those times I felt us travelling seems to have been because we were living out of a carriage. About everyday, Mom moves the carriage some place new. I can't help but wonder about this, but I reasoned that it was because we are nomads. Oddly enough, she keeps looking behind us as we travel. She must be watching out for monsters.
Sadly, I can't get very attached to this new mother of mine. It's not that I hate her, or that I'm some cold bastard who can't feel emotions... something just feels... off about her. Besides her behavior which I have reasoned away with logic, there is the disparity in our appearances.
I once looked in a pool of water to get an idea of what I look like in this new world. I have to say, I am quite the handsome baby. I have cream colored, unblemished skin, black hair with navy blue streaks throughout it, and liquid gold eyes with flecks in them. Both my hair color and eye coloring would be unnatural, but here, any color seems to go. At least Mom never seemed to be worried about it.
As for my mom, she is blonde, with emerald green eyes. To be frank, we look nothing alike. Her skin color is pale like a vampires might be.
At least, she doesn't treat me too badly for looking different from her. I reasoned I could get my looks from my father. I asked her about this once my vocal cords developed around the age of 6 months.
"Mom, where is Dad? And why do I look so different from you?"
Long story short? She was furious, and told me to never bring up the topic again. I wondered if Dad abandoned us?
Today, I finally saw my first magic spell. Mom used it to light a fire.
"Woah, Mom, how'd you do that?"(Me)
"Hm? You like that? You have to gather mana first in order to do things like this. You gather mana in your mana core. Mana is the driving force behind mage's spells, or warrior's physical and magical enhancements. A mana core is where you gather and store that mana. Your mother here is an advanced level 2 mage of the Fire element. Impressive right?" (Mom)
She went on to explain the rankings to me, but since I already knew that, I ignored her for the most part.
"So how do I gather mana?" (Me)
"It's a bit early for you, but there is no harm in showing you now I guess... here, sit criss-cross applesauce, place your hands on your knees, and then sit there and begin breathing deeply. Eventually, tiny little specks of something will begin floating in the air. All mana at its base is the same color, it isn't until you get an elemental that your mana will change upon being absorbed." (Mom)
She then proceeded to explain about elementals, but since I had heard all of this before I ignored her for the most part. Interestingly enough, she never mentioned Sovereigns. I tried probing her for more information on that.
"Is there anyone above the Elementals that leads them all?" (Me)
'This child is very odd... this isn't at all like the behaviour of a 7 month old, to be able to talk so fluently... is he some kind of genius? Well, there isn't any harm in explaining, even if he doesn't understand.' (Mom)
"No, they are a force of nature, there is no leader behind them, but there is a hierarchy among them, from low class, to mid, to high, and finally noble class. I myself have a mid-class fire elemental. The higher the class of elemental, the more powerful the owner is going to be. They say that i the owner manages to reach beyond master rank, they become able to give their elementals physical form, to live and fight alongside them." (Mom)
Interesting. So people on this world seem to have no knowledge of the Sovereigns.
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
"Upon forming your mana core, whatever Elementals are interested in you will come to make a contract with you. This involves you offering something valuable to them, and they in return, offer you themselves. Humans have received no elementals before, this means they will be stuck at the beginner rank for all their life. This makes up 60% of our continent's population. Humans who receive 1 elemental generally make it to the initiate level, and this makes up about 35% of our population. 4.99% of our population are those with 1 element, who manage to make it beyond that point, going into the advanced or master rank. A few every thousand years or so make it beyond master class. As for the final .01% of our population, they are those who managed to wield two elements. All of them, without exception, go beyond master class. The last one to appear was about ten thousand years ago, and he was a fire and earth style mage. Of course, people can train to become a warrior or a mage, but they generally have aptitude towards one or the other. Training as a warrior is a physical endeavor, while mage training is a mental one. The ease of training all depends on your aptitude. The fastest recorded rate of training was from a dual element mage who managed to reach master by the time he was 70. That is the Fire and Earth one that I mentioned before." (Mom)
So, to get my elementals so I can begin training, I have to form my mana core first. After that massive info-dump though, I have quite a bit to digest. I began to yawn.
"Someone is sleepy, time for a nap." (Mom)
I didn't object to this, as it would give me the time to try gathering mana as she had shown me earlier. She dropped me off into my crib, and then partitioned off that section of the carriage. Whenever I take naps, she goes out hunting. I'll use that habit to my advantage this time to train. I assume the position I was shown earlier. Quite the acrobatic feat for a chunky baby body.
About 3 minutes after getting into position and beginning my meditation I finally noticed the particles. But what appeared before me was too large to call specks or particles. These things were like blue golf balls!
'What would happen if I tried swallowing these?'
With that thought, one of the particles moved towards me, and pushed itself into my chest, which spread out a cool, calming feeling.
'Ok, so they make me feel good. Let's try something else.'
I begin thinking about forming a giant ball of mana particles from all the mana I can detect. The particles gradually begin to amass above my head, first reaching the size of a tennis ball, then about basketball size after 10 minutes. At this point it changed to a black color.
'I still feel like I can handle more... Gather faster!'
At that thought, the ball above my head began rapidly expanding in size. After it reached about 2.5 feet in diameter I had it stop growing. At this point, it had become an intense gold, similar to my eye color. I began trying to absorb it.
"Ugh! This hurts!" (Me)
That's right, I had made it too big, and was having issues absorbing it, to the point of feeling pain. I tried condensing it, and managed to get it back down to golf ball size, but the golden color had become almost blinding.
"Phew, that's done... Now, rather than normal absorption... let's swallow it!" (Me)
I mean, you are probably thinking, 'Idiot, why do that?' To which I would respond why not? I have divine protection, so at worst, it'll just be very painful. And if it would be detrimental to my body, my Iron Man skill will filter it.
I will omit the next 10 minutes, which contain within it me screaming like a little girl from the sheer pain racking my body.
[10 minutes later]
"Haa..Haaaa.... Haaaaaa. Never. Again. Never again, will I do that."
Notice!
You have formed your mana core!Golden Mana Core
Notice!
A skill has activated on its own!Lucky Bastard
Eh?
On top of my mana core forming, my 'Lucky Bastard' skill self activated?
Suddenly, 3 presences descend on me, feeling quite similar to the time that time that Raphael threatened Evangeline, just on a more minor scale. They began speaking to me through my head.
"WHO DARES SUMMON ME SOVEREIGN OF LIGHTNING!" (Lightning Sovereign, LS for short)
What? The lightning Sovereign? Why is she here?
"AND I AS WELL, THE THUNDER SOVEREIGN!" (Thunder Sovereign, TS for short)
...That's two out of three... The lucky bastard skill mentioned having impossible luck... does that mean...?
"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE? I, THE SOVEREIGN OF THE VOID WAS THE ONE SUMMONED" (Void Sovereign, VS for short)
Aw shit.... I really did somehow summon all 3 Sovereigns... my Mom mentioned something about how the rank of the Elemental summoned as well as how many elements are useable determines the limits you have. What happens if you have 3 elements and the strongest elementals possible from each?
"Uhmmmm, that would have been me..." (me, also speaking in my mind)
"OF COURSE IT IS YOUNG MESSOR! WE KNEW THAT, AS YOU ARE THE ONLY BEING ON THIS PLANE WITH LINKS TO ALL THREE OF US! BUT HOW DID YOU SUMMON ALL THREE AT ONCE! ONE IS UNDERSTANDABLE, WITH ABOUT A 1% CHANCE, TWO CAN OCCUR WITH A .0001% LIKELIHOOD, BUT ALL THREE IS PLAIN IMPOSSIBLE!" (All three at once)
I'm starting to develop a splitting migraine from all of them shouting in my head at once.
"Can you stop shouting please?" (Me)
"WE USE IT FOR APPEARANCES! IT FEELS IMPOSING DOES IT NOT?" (LS)
"Yes it does, but who cares about appearances when I can't even see you." (Me, deadpan)
"Fine, we will cease the shouting. But how did you summon all three of us, and all at once." (VS)
I spend the next few minutes explaining my skill, and how it activated.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" (all three at once)
"..." (Me)
"Ah, right, sorry, the shock factor for that was a bit high." (LS)
Coming from someone that controls lightning? Yeah, it must've been pretty shocking for that wording to come out.
"Ok, so what does me summoning you three mean?" (Me)
"We are now your elemental summons. That is what it means. Until death do us part, you are lord of our respective elements." (TS)
"And the terms for our contract?" (Me)
"Oh good, you already know about contracts. What do you seek to do in this world?" (VS)
"I wish to live an interesting life, and become the strongest!" (Me)
"What will you offer us?" (TS)
I pause and think. I don't have much worth offering to them... I wonder...
"My virginity!" (Me) I said it as a joke, but before I could take it back, and say just kidding...
"WE ACCEPT!" (All three at once)
Eh? Really? How would that even work? And why would they accept that in the first place...
"Why?" (Me)
"Think about it this way, you are a woman, and you have been alone for 700 million years, no physical contact, except with beings that are like your children to you. Then you get summoned by a kid, a boy at that, who WILLINGLY offers you his virginity. Are you going to decline?" (LS)
Wow. They are thirstier for action than I could ever be. This, however, takes robbing the cradle to a literal extreme...
"Don't worry, we won't collect the fee right away, we have to wait until you reach the deity level so you are able to physically manifest us. So don't you dare go dying on us before then."
I just pledged to keep my virginity until I am about 15 years old... well, this is going to be a long 15 years. At least this way it is morally sound.

Woah, my skills got upgraded! I'll check them out tomorrow though... I'm sleepy now after all of that. Hey, I'm still a kid after all!
"Good night, little one." (All three at once)
[AN]Finally, this chapter took 2 and a half hours to write. So, what do you think? Are you shocked that I just added another 3 to the harem count? Or are you more shocked by its members? Personally, I think "Lucky Bastard" is one of his most broken skills. Now, time for some fun. I have 2 questions for you readers. If you get them right, you get to decide the race of a member of his harem, and what type of personality you want them to have. First person to get it right gets the prize! Just type the answer in this forum, the time limit is until the next chapter posts!
What does the MC's name, Messor Mors mean? It might be easier if you flipped the names around first, this one should be easy.
Why did Raphael tell him to activate his luck skill by force at one and a half? (I don't expect anyone to get this one right.
Hope you enjoyed it, and see ya next time! Skoll out![/AN]
