'That's rather generous.' I thought to myself.
『Notice you have two unopened messages 』
"I know, I know. I'll read those messages later." I said to no one in particular. Staring at the text on the black screen, I quickly figured out what I needed to do. 'I can do this without speaking, but damn it's embarrassing..' I joked.
'Open status!'

"Huh... What a strange way to determine power. I hope this changes in the future." I said, hoping for better ways to track Dur, WIS, and DEX. "Maybe have a portion of it boost SP, MP, and HP while lowering costs?" I sighed, opening the quest screen once more.

"So, I need to open the [Shop] and [Inventory], and go through a [Crafting] tutorial. That's alright I needed to open that starter pack anyways." Thinking about finding my reward, I opened my [Inventory]. Instead of another screen appearing, "What the hell?" The space before me was torn open, and several empty containers showed themselves. I swiped at the compartments. Right to the left, the boxes flew from one hole in space into another. After a few moments, two items presented themselves to me.
"All this animation looks cool and all, but there has to be a faster way to find my stuff in this," I grumbled. I found a unique weapon ticket and my Starter Pack in a floating box. I tapped on the block, only for it to open up into an Inventory with the title standard over it.
"Huh, maybe this isn't very useless..." I found a search bar to find things even quicker than before. "This isn't as bad as I assumed" The grin on my face grew ever so slightly as I scrolled to different options. "Organize A to Z, Separate by type, It's like going through a File Cabinet..." Who was I kidding, This was fantastic! Instead of one list that stretched out into infinity, I had several that could contain specific types of items. Crafting materials and health potions never to be side by side again! Clicking back into the standard inventory, I decided to open my starter pack. I found even more notifications thrown at me.
『Inventory opened 1/1 times, providing reward』
『One unique weapon ticket obtained』
『Attribute Gained: [Gamer's Body] 』
『Gamer's Body: Your body is nearly identical to a game avatar! Learn new skills simply by reading scrolls and books! l All skills are suitable for your body. Your only limit is stats!

As I reviewed my screen, I heard several recognizable voices in my head commenting on where I should place the rest of my stat points and reminiscing on the past when they read the descriptions of some skills. 'Is this what they meant when I was told we'd speak soon?' I mentally intoned.
"Oh-ho? This passive is nearly on the same level as Avalon." Gilgamesh hummed. EMIYA disagreed with that statement, "The healing is arguably worse, but the trade-off makes it superior. Maybe I would have reached my goals with the ability to learn any skill by reading..." he nodded sagely at his evaluation.
"Oh boy, why did that detox thing cause so much pain?" The green tunic user tried to keep a steady voice but failed miserably. "That hurt almost as much as having swords sew your body together. How'd he manage that and not blackout?" several redheads spoke in unison.
"I'm pretty sure I did..."
My comment was ignored as Gil interrupted me, "A prince should be capable of at least handling that much." Gilgamesh seemed pleased with the situation's outcome. "Dying to something like that in my presence while holding my titles would be disrespectful." I felt Link step back as he yelled in confusion, "How in Hylia's name do you end up sewing your body together with swords?!" EMIYA immediately responded, "A mixture of stubbornness, magicraft overuse, and foolishness. That's all you need to know." Gilgamesh stared at the group oddly, "For once I agree with the faker. Don't infect the boy with the red one's mentality." Before Link could react to the sentient mass of bad luck and choices that is Shirou Emiya, I took the hint that EMIYA and Gil dropped and changed the subject.
"I got a new body... apparently, I'm split 50/50 between Hylian and High Human. If I had opened the starter pack on time [gamer's body], maybe it could have made the process easier if my image of how the skill works were correct. How could you guys feel that anyway?" As the conversation continued, I opened my [Inventory] options. I labeled some containers to pick up certain items when I was done. I could see a group of colored-coded words floating in the air [gear], [healing],[monster drops],[crafting materials], etc.
"Hey! He can hear us now!" A Shirou yelled, "We're the same person now. You feel everything we feel and vice versa. Some of us will fade away after our skills are absorbed into yours. Others will stay to act as extra brainpower thanks to [Ruler's mind], something about kings requiring retainers..." Another version of the redhead answered politely
『You have obtained an upgrade ticket』
『you have unlocked lifestyle options』
『you can choose daily quests for random rewards』
『 One-time logins revealed, gain currency every time you enter and explore a new location』
All I had left was the unique weapon ticket, I mentally clicked on it, and another notification popped up.
『Would you like to open the Shop?』
『[yes] [no]』
Clicking yes, I saw the [Shop] splitting into several parts: weapons, recovery, armory, and miscellaneous. On the top of the screen was a deal of the day that showcased items on sale. Today it showed a group of items valued at 30 Billion G offered at 75% of the price. With a magic eraser, a self-cleaning bulletproof suit, and a roll of flex tape that could, I kid you not, seal away cracks in reality as if they never existed.
"I remember using that a few times. I thought only Alaya made those..." I heard Emiya say. "Prevented the birth of hundreds of true magicians with that."
Oh well, The more you know.
『Open the [Shop] 1/1 time. Reward: A Multi-pull』
『[Gacha] Unlocked』
As I began questioning how the hell reality would crack and who tested if flex tape could seal it, another icon caught my attention, glowing a demonic red and dripping golden coins. The [gacha] icon showed itself to me.
"Heh-yeah, no, I can save that for later!" I shouted, "I like my wallet, thank you very much!" however, like all [gacha]-related products in our lives. We always are forced to make the first pull.
The [Gacha] tab I wished to avoid was opened against my will, and I was forced to pull for items.
『Congratulations, you have obtained x3 throne fragments』
" What?" I stared at the glitchy pieces in my hand.
『Item: Throne Fragments
Description: NULL
Ranking: ???
Use: NULL 』
'How the hell would I use this?'
"Thi- This is... USELESS! Why is this here?" I yelled, "Why the fu- It doesn't even have a description?!" I tossed them at my wall Only for all three to appear inside the inventory container I marked as crafting materials. "I can't even get rid of them? This shit better be useful in the future..." As I complained, the rest of the notifications appeared in front of me.
『Congratulations, you have obtained Bladed Steel.』
"A sword?" I sighed, "I mean. Sure why not."
『Item: Bladed Steel
Rank: E+
Type: Weapon- Gauntlet
Durability: 300/300 』
'Oh? I guess that's cool too. The name doesn't match though...'
『Bladed Steel has been added to Skill: ⌜Ultima armamentarium⌟』
『Congratulations, you have obtained Red Apple.』
『Item: Red Apple
Rank: I
Type: Miscellaneous consumable- Food
Description: It's an apple. 』
『Congratulations, you have obtained Goddessium x3』
『Item: Goddessium
Rank: A+
Type: Crafting Material
Description: Metal from a world of tragedy and ruins. Capable of replicating and assimilating organic material without losing durability 』
『Congratulations, you have Unlocked Character Gacha 』
"I have to play Gacha. . . to unlock Gacha? Who made this?!" I said, pointing at the screen in shock. "Is there anything else locked behind this?" As I searched the notifications and options for an answer, a book dropped into my hands.
『Congratulations, you have obtained a skill book 』
"Oh, this has some weight to it." it wasn't anything I couldn't handle now that my body was stronger but I could definitely feel it. Its design wasn't anything complex, just a thick black book, larger than my head with a few symbols etched onto its cover. Most of which looked purely aesthetic. At the top of the book read-
『Item: Grand Achemist's Handbook: Homunculus Automata
Type: Miscellaneous consumable- Skill Book (Alchemist VI Required)
Rank: B-
Description: A book containing the history of Biological Alchemy. Gain the information and ability to create various types of Homunculus 』
'Huh, wasn't expecting Observe to go off. I had to use it manually before, Will it do that for every item I take an interest in or just the skill books?' I thought.
"Can I open this? Is this empty?" I questioned. Feeding into my impulses, I attempted to open the book and was pleasantly surprised to see actual information inside. The ToC was a few pages long, and I could see several topics. The idea of Equivalent Exchange, Basic Alchemy- Transmutation, etc.
"I could study this without straight up absorbing it, no?" I asked myself, staring at the beginner alchemist sections. " It seems to have all the information I would need to get started..." I said, flipping through other pages.
"Page 80: Studies on Fate Homunculus - Einzbern, Frankenstein, Yggdmillennia experimentations, Paracelsus sense sharing... I finally found the sections the title was referring to."
my grin grew as I continued reading the chapter titles, "Page 150: YorHa Products... Page 260: Elysion, Missilis, Tetra Line- Styled Automata... Page 290: Pilgrim Recreations."
"This book... This is insane! Hah-Hahaa~" I laughed. "why the hell is this ranked B-!" I saw it in front of me yet I still couldn't believe my eyes! "Being able to make 2B alone should make this S rank at the bare minimum! Do they know what those things are even capable of?"
Crack
I looked down to see the floor slightly cracked in the area where I stomped "Ah shit the tiles, I should get out of the bathroom... should try to be more careful too."
'I'll be sure to come back to this soon.' I thought while shoving the Book into my standard inventory.
"Could I... mix those techniques and make myself a perfect Homunculus army?.." I questioned, 'The Yggdmillennia tried to do the same with stolen techniques right?' I answered myself, remembering small things I read about in the past. "Well, at least I know what my goal is now."
『 Quest Created: Breath Of Life
Make 0/1 Homunculi
Rewards: Title: Small Creator 』
"Awesome~" I grinned, cleaning up the small mess in the bathroom and walking into the living room.
"Huh, This is different," I said, noticing the slight changes in design. "My rugs changed." stepping further into the room I noticed strange dust and light in the corner of my vision. "Gold dust?"
Interested and confused, I tore my eyes away from the rug to search for its source. It didn't take long to find since my living room had warm lighting. "What is this?" it was small and, at first, looked like a golden Navi. I looked closer and realized I had found a tiny sprite?..fairy?..thing that was now zooming around the room, dragging things across the room and trying to put up objects that fell over.
"He'll love this! The living room looked more cursed than a morgue anyway." I heard it say.
"Who'd love it?" I questioned it, slowly inching closer to it. "Well, Master of course! Even if he doesn't remember much, I'm sure he'd appreciate me making it look closer to the old home!"
"Uh-huh?"
"Yep! I even brought the lamps!" She said, shimmering a light blue as she circled a lamp I never bought. "Oh really? what else did ya change?" I said, now standing directly behind her.
"Well, I- " The light popped into a deep red and she yelled, "Eep! M-master?! I didn't know you would get up so soon!"
"Master?"
-x-x-x-x-
20 minutes later...
"So, you're a companion?"
In front of me was a small woman around the side of my hand. She quite literally was glowing red from embarrassment.
"Y-yeah..."
"Alright..." I sighed "You were changing some of the stuff in my living room, Why?"
"I- I thought you'd like it.. You don't hate it, do you?"
"Ehhh~, no, I don't like it, but I don't exactly hate it either."
"O-oh..."
"I'd just rather have you ask me first before you mess with things like this."
"I- Okay, I understand... Sorry."
"It's all good. Where'd you put my stuff anyways" I asked her.
"It's all in you're inventory. I- I think it's labeled Miscellaneous- Furniture?"
A quick search proved her to be correct. "Huh, you're right it's all here."
"I'll let you keep the stuff you placed in the living room out since you didn't lie to me."
"Really?!"
"Yeah, really. Anyways, you're supposed to be by me at all times, right?" I questioned, closing my eyes, and trying to process the information I had heard a few minutes ago.
"Y-Yes!"
"Even when I need to use the restroom?"
"Absolutely!- I mean no- I mean- haaa... Only if you want me to be there with you!" she squeaks.
"You sound too enthusiastic about this," I smirked.
"No, no, this is normal, I swear!" I can hear her panting. It's not helping her case. Opening my eyes again, I could see the minuscule woman hovering around in front of me energetically. "You're the size of a soda can. Why in the world are you so small?"
"Dear is too weak to be near my entire body"
"Dear?" I questioned, "I thought I was your master?"
"Y-you could be both!" She flushed, "M-most of my strength is being siphoned into the system. If it wasn't like this I wouldn't be able to act anywhere near you without crushing you accidently! S-Spirits work differently than you flesh-based creatures!"
"Obviously a dead person would work differently than a living one." I huffed in response, amused by her different actions. She glowed like a Christmas tree flashing between different colors the most prominent of them being Gold, Green, and Red.
Sounding proud and possibly aggravated, she dashed toward my face and smacked my nose a few times while saying, "You could at least pretend to be grateful. My friends and I begged other deities and spirits for you! I lost my original body to be near you!" It didn't matter much if she was tapping me or not, She couldn't cause any harm. As she pouted, I took in her appearance. She was unironically extremely pretty, her pouting just made her even more adorable. She had Wavy dark brown hair styled with two sides held up into twin tails by black ribbons while the rest hung loose, her eyes were Aqua with the lightest hint of green. Occasionally her eyes glowed a strange shade of yellow.
"Couldn't you use a puppet or something?" her response was quick, "I wished to be near dear in person. Losing something like power isn't that much of an issue."
" Well, If we're stuck together, Can I at least know who you are?" I asked.
I could see her hair fading into blonde for a moment and her eyes glowing red as she spoke, "...Sure!"
"Great, what is-
"Let's risk breaking that [Ruler's mind] skill of yours and gain the insanity debuff. I'll go ahead and say my name, right now! Its Toh-"
"Nope!" I yelled, "Never mind, I like my sanity. Just give me a nickname or something."
A laugh. She laughed. It was pleasant on the ears, almost divine. "I'll miss your old personality, you were far more daring and polite, but I could get used to this. " A gentle smile graced her face. "Here, I'll hint as to who I am." She moved back to the table, set one leg behind the other, and curtsied,
"You may call me-
OG Note: Hey there readers, it's me again. I just wanted to say sorry for the late and short chapter. My temperature was above 100, and my cough worsened, so I went to the doctor again. I was told I should get an x-ray done to see what was going on with my lungs. I'll be working on chapters 4 and 5 later today. I'll try to get at least 2k words in. Maybe after I'm better, it'll be easier to figure out exactly where I want to take the story, and I'll rewrite chapters and hopefully improve them for everyone who likes the concept! Wish me luck!
Edited Note: I am still unable to move my mouth, much less speak, it's slightly annoying to deal with but I am occupying myself by making modifications to these chapters. I use the term "modifications" because although I am changing the content and the way some events occur, the end result remains the same. It just looks cleaner and hopefully doesn't feel like you're zooming through at Mach speed now. I have noticed that some people have generously given me power stones. Even if it's only two, I am very grateful for your support! Since I don't have enough words for ranking yet, so please hold on to them! Even without them, I will still strive to meet your expectations!
