- The Pre-Start of the New Adventure -

Irumi who heard Gaeana's suggestion shocked. "You mean like, Other race, race? Like anyother han a Human?", Irumi asked to confirm the goddess.

"Yes, that's correct Irumi-Chan. Normal human's body, commonly won't be able to hold the kickback from a large [magical power] abuse as they have limitiations to such extent. Your magic capabilities and capacities are outstandingly exceeded the normal Human. I may suggest such one of a Vampire, Elven, Tailed Beast-Kin race..", Gaeana added explanations to Irumi's question.

"But, I really wished to stay as a Human. Is there anyway to make the kickback to my body lower?", Irumi asks and requested Gaeana.

"Hmm. Let's see.", Gaena started off thinking while taking a sip on her mug with drink. "If you stayed as a Human, right? Your natural physical and health regeneration is indeed incredible. But, sometimes even I wouldn't know what will happens in the future. And so, my suggestion for you is merely an advise for a long span safety.", Gaeana explained the drawback of magical power usage on human body calmly while having her drink.

Irumi silenced for a moment. Trying to think of something. Should she pick another race beside a human? What race should she pick?

"Oh!", Gaeana snapped the moment. "There is also a way of reducing it if you can gain a blessing from a specific God or Goddess", Gaeana implied.

Hearing that additional information, Irumi closed her eyes. Making a thinking pose, lowering her head and trying to get a focus on her mind. She's thinking from some view points of each race needs and uniqueness. Like, humans need foods. Vampire commonly known as a blood sucker being, so Vampires need of blood to sustain their life and unable to walk in the daylight. Beast-kin are cute, flurry and smooth like a pet's fur. But she doesn't want to have more trouble like maintaining the furs she may has.

'Hmmm...', She keeps on thinking over the races issue. And suddenly, after she's about to think.about the game, she realized and remembered something.

'Gaeana customized everything as close as to my in-game character. So that means, abilities, style, stats, and everything including his extra slots characters.', and so she thought.

Gaeana who silently reading Irumi's mind while watching her, enjoying her drink and snacks calmly. She made a faint smile. She admired Irumi's strong will to be remained as a Human being.

"Gaena-Sama..", Irumi opened up her eyes. Looking straight to Gaeana. Slowly, she called for her to sloely developping a conversation for her to negotiate with Gaeana.

"Yes, I'm here Irumi-Chan.", She responded, then putting down her mug gently. "You may ask anything to me", Gaeana implied more, placing her hands on the table like a lady, waiting for Irumi's next speech.

"You did say that you customized this new Body for me as close as the Game I usually played right?", Irumi asked.

"Yes, that is true, indeed.", Gaeana replied.

"So, back in the game, there are some selections of the race. [Ancient Human] with race unique passive skill is [Longetivity]. [Draconians], a descendant of the dragons. They have skills like [Dragon's Blood] which increase their battle power to some extent for some durations, and many others.", Irumi started explaining the Game she played.

"Concerning at the race's unique ability, [Longetivity] of the Ancient Humans that make them different than any other normal Humans. Like the [NPC]-s of the Game. [Longetivity] gives the Ancient Human Race Character stronger Durabilities and resistances, Regenerative power, and Health Bonus effects. And so, I did see the unique skill listed on my [Skills] list. It was before, while I was crafting these equipments. If it possible, Can I choose [Ancient Human] instead? As I believe, [Ancient Human] created by the Game Story developer was intended to be able to sustain the high prowess skills and magics, as the [Hero] from the [Human] Race side.", Irumi added the explanations and requested the Race Issue on Gaeana.

"I see..", Gaeana looked at Irumi all the time attentively since the ver start. Irumi explained in a serious manner with a strong willed eyes. And she looked at irumi with her eyes, closed.

Irumi who heard Gaeana's reply, stayed in silence like she was waiting for the next lines that may came up from Gaeana. Gaeana, with no expression on her face, stayed in silence as well while her point of view is directed on Irumi. The situation became awkward to Irumi, the silence of the moments making her nervous.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

"Hmm..", She mumbled. "I guess I could make it possible.", Gaeana implied more as an answer.

The silence broke as Gaeana replied. A slight joy expressed on Irumi's face. She gripped both of her palms on her thighs due to the sudden joy.

"But first, I need to hear your choice of your own selection ability or such as my Blessings to you. As it is my duty to preserve balance, I as well, might needed to limit the gifts I could give. Even to the one that I favored most.", Gaeanna added.

Irumi, secured a chance for her to stay as a Human. She began choosing while thinking for things she might needs to live and adapt in this new world to Gaeana with details.

"Thank you, Gaeana-Sama.", she began with gratitude. "In the Game, and in my current skills list. I do Have [Appraise] from my [Blacksmith], which is used for [Appraising] or Identifying such as equipments, or [Unindentified] equipments those which dropped from monsters or treasure chests in some dungeons. [Mark] from my Asassin class, which is used by selecting a target to leave a [Marker] on anything/anyone and make them appeared on my minimap as an icon in real time.", She explained in things in details.

"So, for me, to start learning things about this world, I need an ability that can make me select anything in my point of view and see the details of the selected objects or people.", She implied as the first selection of her choosing. Gaeanna just simply attentively listening to her as she talks while taking some snacks and drink.

"Second is, you gave me the magic knowledge of this world. About how the Mana works, flowed, I do recognize it thanks to the knowledge you gave me.", she continued to her second needs. "And so, I would also need an ability that could allow me to create some magics that will be used as my own original magic and uniqueness.", she put her request for the second one in clear. Gaena still watching her attentively.

"Third, my existence has an exceeded status build, which and also, exceeded the other normal humans. Despite I'm undoubtedly strong, I still need to learn the common sense of this world, Gaining Actual experiences, and saving my-own-self from standing out too much. I need an ability that can Camouflaged or [Conceal] my status, race when seen or checked by other people in this world. I was about to asked this as the fourth, but for the ability to supress my output prowess already existed in my skills list from a mentorship function back when was a game. So, camouflaging or concealing my real status and race is needed.", Irumi enthusiasly explained to Gaeana.

Gaeana who listens to Irumi who explained things like a professional marketing infront of her her, enjoyed herself silently. She smiles, feeling amused in the inside, making her enjoyed her drinks and snacks even better. While herself, attentively looking at Irumi who was explaining the whole things, just like a prospected customer. And still, Irumi proceed further with her explanations.

"Lastly, If possible, I would like to be able to visit you again in here, in the future.", She said the last request of her needs.

Gaena flinched, and shocked in her mind a little hearing the last part of Irumi's request. She kept her dignity in checked. Holdong her ground to not showing anything like a slight tremble or any sort as a goddess. She stands up from her chair. Walks away a little to some spaces and called on Irumi.

"Irumi-Chan, Please come here and kneel on your knees like a knight.", Gaeana said as she pointed the space infront of her gently with her palms upside down.

Irumi who heard the call followed the instructed instruction silently. She stood up from her chair, walks toward Gaeana's pointed space, and kneeled infront of Gaeana on her knees with her face looking down at the stone flooring. Gaeana, who saw Irumi kneeled on her knees and bowed her head lower infront of her, leaned her body a little forward. her left hand was put on her chest and the palms holding on to the cloth on her dress right below her neck so it doesn't fall on Irumi. Her right hand reaches for Irumi's head.

When the tip of her right hand fingers touches Irumi's head right next to the tied pigtails, a huge magic circle in Deep Blue Sea color enveloped below them covering the whole area. Small sparkles flowing up from the magic circles like a fireflies colored in blue sky color. Gaeana opened up her eyes. Showing her glowing eyes with sight directed on Irumi whose bowing infront of her.

A presure, that not too heavy felt on Irumi's as the Magic Circle enveloped below her. She closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind to neglect the presure she felt. It was all done so that she can hear anything that Gaeana may say. Then after, Gaeana's voice can be heard straight within her mind.
