Author's Note: Sorry, this chapter is not as well written as I would like it to be... oh well, I'm not sure how to handle the transition either, hope it works out later :p

Let’s see, I can copy Little-Me later. For now, I need to check my own status. Though I did took a peek at it earlier, I haven’t really pay enough attention to it lately.

1. Nine Yin Cultivation Seal (Duration: 5 years)
I see… How odd, I would’ve thought the blessing and skills I gained from the other three Gods would be ranked ‘unknown’ and at level ‘X (Locked by God)’ like the ones I got from Kruphix. Kruphix is different from the rest of them after all, it seems.
Mwuahahahahahaha, just as I predicted, I have nine-tenth of a million chi now. If only I can use it… no, bear it! Just five more years! I’m halfway there!
Hmmm, my mana’s increased quite nicely. Hard Work learning normal alchemy paid off, I suppose. Just, why is my wisdom still rising so low? I wonder if it’s Kruphix’s attempt at balancing my stats out… after all, I do have abnormally large reservoir of Mana and Chi at my disposal.
There’s also bunch of notifications I’ve been ignoring for far too long… all notifications of receiving some stat, not important. A few status updates showing that I’m fatigued, paralyzed… was that back when Mother tried chi-healing on me?, and internally burned… ouch on the last one. Beside them, the only important notification is that my ‘Prodigious Learning Speed’ passive reached Intermediate level a few months ago… and grants me Eidetic Memory… I guess that’s an upgrade compared to photographic memory.
Now then, I need to show Father my True Alchemy skill and blame it on Ascathon. But first, I need to test it. Enough with the half-assed understanding these people have of the compositions of the world! It’s time for real science! Kukukukukuku and no oversight committee to prevent me from doing human experimentations… excellent, most excellent, kuukukuukukuukukuukuuukuku…
In any case, I copied the clasp state alchemists use to activate their true alchemy skill, then pressed both of my palms down on the floor. Let’s make it… hmmm… oh, I know! Let’s make some statues! I got photographic memory and Art stats, so it should turn out well!
I concentrated on molding out a figurine of the old me from Earth, and my families together. A slightly wider smiles, most robust bust on Melinda. Could I do color as well? I clasped my hand together again, and this time grabs the almost-done statue in my hands. Pigments, I want a layer of pigments on the surface of the statue. Huh, I can only manipulate one type at a time?
It took me an hour to get the color details just right, since I had to go one layer of color at a time. Oddly enough I feel a bit tired, like I’ve been solving quantum physics’ problems all day kind of tired.
Hmmph, don’t think a little tiredness can hold back the great me! I took a breather, and starts on my second set of statues. This time, I concentrated on the images of Mother and Father together, as if taking a family photo. Aha, there we go! I got Mother’s hair down just perfectly!
Ugh, sh*t I’m actually pretty tired after making five statues with Alchemy in a row. Screw the coloring on the last two, its time for a little nap…
…………
I wakes up a good thirty minutes later to someone’s footsteps approaching my room. What is it? Didn’t I tell Sebastian not to let anyone interrupt me until dinner today?
A maid I haven’t seen before opens the door and walks in. So that’s it eh? A new maid, who’s not familiar enough with her job yet to realize some orders aren’t meant to be bent. Well, she’ll certainly be surprised.
She turns around, as if to survey the room. Probably looking for me, though I’m safely hidden behind the couch. Kukuku, I could use her…
I breathe a little harder, just loud enough that she subconsciously turns toward my way and approaches, but not loud enough for her to know for sure I’m here… hehehe, let’s see how she takes surprises!
Ooh, she just lifted the linen cover I threw on the two sets of figures! Mwuahahahaahaha, behold perfection! My perfect creations! Aren’t they grand? Those details! I can see her jaw dropping to the floor as she eyes the statues… Praise me!
“BO!” I jump up from behind the couch behind her. Hehehehe, that waiting paid off! She gives a little shriek and runs out the room. That’ll teach you to enter someone’s room without permission!
The new maid is later reprimanded by Sebastian for going into my room without permission, though in her defense, she didn’t know it belonged to me. But she has served her purpose now, and Sebastian informs Father of my statues…. yes, I can hear them coming down the corridor! Almost… almost here!
Just outside the doors! I threw them open and stands proudly before my surprised parents, “Daddy! Look!” I points toward the statue of Mother and him. “I made it with alchemy!” Praise me! Grr, I want praises damn it!
Father definitely looks surprised, and I suppose he should be, ‘cause it ain’t possible using regular ol’ alchemy I’ve been practicing, and he knows it too.
“Pray… what did you receive at the ceremony today?” Father asks cautiously. Pfft, there’s no cause for concern here!
“Ascathon gave me an alchemy skill!” I states proudly. Wait, why aren’t you praising my perfect creations? What could possibly be more important?
“Asca- Oh, I see.” He looks uncertain for a moment, then grins, “Well, that sure saves us a lot of time and effort.”
“Does that mean I can stop reading those dusty old books?” I ask eagerly. Pfft, those books aren’t worth a dime before what I hold in my brain!
“Hahaha, no Pray, you can’t just skip studying just because of this!”
“But I can make anything!” That is true… there’s not much I don’t know how to make, though some are better suited to be done by expandable others than my precious self.
“You can?!” Father looks amazed? Oh, I see, I see. He thinks Ascathon gave me gave me the knowledge? Good, let’s go with that then.
“Um, yeah! He told me how to make stuff!” To emphasize my point, I quickly invoked true alchemy and transmute the book on the table into a bar of gold. Muwahahahahahaha, this ability is too good to be true!
“Pray! You know transmuting gold is forbidden!” Yes, yes, I know. Financial instability and all that. Old news.
“Sorry…” A bit of teary face and Father instantly forgets everything else. Hehehe, being a girl has its benefits…
“Well, I guess it won’t hurt if you skip the rest of the textbooks anymore.” He looks contemplative for a moment, “Pray, do you want to learn Daddy’s special alchemy?”
Special alchemy? Is he talking about that cooking fire he made with alchemy? Well… sure, why not?

“Ummmmm… OK!” Oops, probably should’ve been more optimistic there.
“Xix, just get out the present already.” Mother’s patience just ran out, apparently. Wait, did someone said ‘present’?
“I want a present!” I love presents! Gimme them!
“Alright, alright, here it is.” Father takes out a long gift box… ohohohoho what is it? A rapier? A sword? I want something cool!
I excitedly rips off the wrappings and opens the box. Inside it is a… I don’t know what to call it. It has a rapier handle and guard, but has four panels where the blade should be… what is this thing? For some reason it seems oddly familiar, like I’ve seen it before…
Spoiler :
http%3a%2f%2fvignette1.wikia.nocookie.net%2ftoky...1230130425 [http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/tokyoghoul/images/4/47/Arima%27s_Narukami.png/revision/latest?cb=20141230130425]
Narukami, wasn’t it? The lightning kagune? But where did my normal human parents come across something like this…?
*Ahem*”You’re Mother spend a lot of time locating this for you, Pray. It’s a lightning blade from the Isle of Sword Saints beyond the Reim Empire. Only people with lightning esper abilities like you or your Mother can handle it, be careful alright?
Ohoho, is that why? Mother refused to teach me how to use our esper abilities when we just started that hellish training to learn chi control, saying that it’s only for those who had reached the seventh level Xingese Martial Arts...
From what I understand, it’s not so much electromaster ability as it is speed enhancement. Kind of like how the Raikage use it, but more refined. I suppose then, that this ‘lightning blade’ bypasses that the restriction Mother had set earlier? I should check to be sure…
“But Moooom, you said I can’t use lightning until I learned the 7th level didn’t you?”
“Yes I did, Pray. But this blade handles the control for you, so you can use your ability even without martial arts training.” Aw, doesn’t she look proud of herself? This must have cost a fortune… it’s nice to have rich, doting parents…
But never mind that… I can use lightning with this? Kukukukuku, I can’t wait to try it out! I lifted the thing and points it at a stack of paper on the desk beside the couch,
“Lightning!” ….. and nothing happens. Why? Is there a special way to activate my esper powers? Oh… I don’t have the skill for it yet, just the bloodline requirement… damn!
“Pray, don’t be impatient. Mommy will teach you how to use it, Ok?”
I nod at her in disappointment, and shelves the blade to experiment with later. Mother promises to teach me how to use it as my birthday present… sweet!
Well, that concludes my birthday presents, since Aunt Julia and the twins can’t enter at the moment due to the crowd outside the gate. Seriously, what’s the big deal about being the first mortal to be blessed by four gods of gods? Not that I dislike my celebrity status…
As Mother tucks me in for bed, I starts on the second phase of today’s plan… making a copy of my former outer self. It is a bit lonely without her… According to what Kruphix said, I should be able to copy her without a problem.
I concentrates on my memory of her… and there’s a lot, considering the five solids years we’ve been together. Then I activates the skill with a quiet whisper… I just hope that doesn’t mean I will make a copy of my physical self, ‘cause that would be quite the pain to explain…
A presence enters my mind, which should not be possible due to my passive skill… unless, it’s another me? Well, there’s only one way to find out.
I look inside myself, as if I’m in the middle of meditation. But instead of trying to find my chi center, which I can sense quite easily now, I simply digs deeper into myself… reaching the inner mind is just a matter of patience; it’s much easier to get out of it then reach it.
Of course, I reaches my Inner Mind a few minutes later, and enters to find… me. Staring at me, myself. The two of us looks at each other for a second. It’s a weird experience, looking from two perspectives at once.
Ooooh, I see. So… that’s why. I merged completely with her, so I can’t separate her out again? Well, this is awkward, there’s two me inside myself… and the clone me feels the exact same way.
Hmmm… actually, this could work to my advantage! Kukukukuku, we laugh in synchrony, I can make my own Misaka Sisters Network!!! Mwuahahahahaa, strength in numbers! I just need a secret headquarters where nobody will find my clones… I don’t have one. That certainly puts a damper on things… I need a secret hideout, like every good evil scientist…
Setting aside the issue to procrastinate on it, I leaves my cloned consciousness in my inner mind. Making a HQ for myself is a bit too far reaching at the moment, I should focus on the renovations I need to make to the mansion first.
The next morning, I got up early, before the maids come wake me up, and dresses myself before skipping to the kitchen to grab some early breakfast. Rise and shine people! Today is the day I banish those disgusting chamber pots! Incase you don’t know what that is, it’s a pot you shit and piss in… yeah, completely gross.
This house need some quality plumbing, and I got the power to make them hehehehe…
I quickly finishes off the breakfast in the kitchen, surprising the maids responsible for making it. Hmmm, those rudimentary stoves gotta be replaced as well, I makes a mental note-to-self.
Then I get started on building my new toiletries. First, I converted one of the smaller room into a restroom, completely with three toilets separated by dividers, and one urinal. And sinks, of course. Though the last one required a bit of rewiring the water system in the walls… there! Got it.
Next part is a bit tricky… since this world doesn’t have sewer systems, I can’t just make a bunch of toilets and empties out into the yard… but that’s old tech.
Kukuku, I’m using the 22th century technology here… and it’s about eight or nine centuries too early for this world to have it, but who cares!
Slightly acidic decomposition gels. The solution we made in the 22th century for space exploration… it was a bit of a necessity when we started building crowded, large scale space structures. These gels should work well enough for a year at least, breaking down the… waste within ten minutes of use. It’s not as fast as a flushing toilet, but it saves me the hassle of building a real plumbing system.
A bit of air refresher… and there! That’s should be good enough! I’ll make the other restrooms later, but first, I need a test run here.
...Aaaaah, it feels good to be able to make toilet paper for myself, those rough papers they use to wipe here are horrendous!
Hmm, now that that’s off the agenda, what do we got next? Oh right, gotta let Mother know about this first.
I run upstairs to Mother’s study, where she’s studying some scroll in Chinese… or Xingese, as they call it here. She doesn’t really understand what I’m describing, so I dragged her down to the restroom on my floor to show her…
...Hmm, the maids are already crowding around it, trying to figure out what it does…
“Mother, it’s cleaner than those chamber pots!” I explains my creation. Be amazed, people!
...Sadly enough, nobody seems to understand the significance of the restroom… tsk, wait until you try it! So much cleaner! They’ll find out eventually, I guess…
Um… what should I renovate next? Lightings? No, I have made a generator yet. If how uninterested Mother seemed about the restroom is any indication to go by, just ‘inventing’ stuffs randomly won’t cut it… I need someone who understands its importance and has the influence to teach other peoples I can’t reach… like a merchant.
It’s almost time for lunch, but I arrives at the kitchen before the cooks finishes cooking. Hehehe, watch and learn people! Let’s make… hmm Curry! Hehehe, I can just transmute some curry powder and all the spices!
It took about thirty minutes to make it, and it was a bit too watery for my taste, but damn! Oh, how I’ve missed the taste of old Earth. I can finally make all those foods I’ve been wanting to make here! The cuisine here is primarily bread and soup based, unless Mother’s the one cooking. But there’s so much more they could do with the ingredients! It bugs me that nobody really seems to be experimenting around with their food… oh wait…
Well, in any case, Mother likes it it seems, even taking a second serving. Hehehe, maybe I should just take over the kitchen for a while? There’s so much food I want to make…
It took about a week of experimenting with the ingredients, which are mostly identical to the ones on old Earth, to make sure I have everything prepared. I decided to make the special dinner that night… kuukuuku, the other maids are already eagerly awaiting to taste my food. Everyone learned how tasty they are over the week, though initially some of them seemed to be confused about what they’re eating.
And get this! They think of lobsters as… well, vermins of the sea! Even feeding them to prisoners, if what I heard from the maid who went to buy a batch of lobsters for me is correct. Pfft, that misconception was quickly corrected when I made buttered lobster… mmmhmmm, that was heavenly...
All in all, I slowly pretended to change over better half of the year, to avoid suspicion.
To be sure, I attributed my change in attitude toward my blessings… well, a bit of white lies wouldn’t hurt, would it? Mother doesn’t really care unless its new food, but Father has taken quite an interest in my hygiene improvement project… I’ll call that mission accomplished, since he encouraged others to use it instead of the regular chamber pots.
Keep in mind, these are all prototypes. I can’t distribute them for sale among the public until I have a factory build… and these people don’t even know what a factory is! Gods! So much work in front of me! It almost make me want to be stuck back into my inner mind and let little-Pray do my work for me… almost.
Nevermind that tonight, I’ve prepared a banquet… and boy it was a pain in the ass to carry all the prepared food into the dining room by myself. I didn’t want to maid to find out beforehand and ruin the surprise, you see.
Then I ushers in my parents… behold, a true feast! I takes off the covers dramatically… much to their confusion. Um, I guess these food are a bit unconventional…

Nevertheless, I enjoyed quite well. Eating food you made yourself is quite satisfying, if I do say so myself.
Mmmhmm, bacon cheeseburger, ah the great American junkfoods. How I’ve missed you! Oops, I guess using my bare hands shocked Mother a bit, since she started scolding me on proper etiquette… blah, I left those stuff to little-me before...
I think that's about all the renovations I want to make here... I suppose it's time to learn those skills I've been putting off.
