Good afternoon everyone.
Thank you for visiting my new humble abode!
Let me give you a quick tour~
Whilst I’m pretending to give a tour to someone, I focus on one of the items in my field of view right now.
Magic engineering workbench |
A bench carefully sculpted out of mana wood. Fitted with a crystal used to mould mana. |
It’s the centrepiece of the room~
Also the first proper fantasy item in a long time.
It looks like a meticulously embroidered woodworking bench.
And above it we have the beautiful custom mood lighting~
I focus on the shiny looking crystal floating inside of an expensive-looking lantern hanging from the ceiling.
Mana lantern |
A lantern fitted with a modified mana crystal. The crystal has been imbued with light magic and made self-sustaining. |
(Mmm.)
This is what another world should be like.
(Oh-)
I should probably mention what my surroundings look like first shouldn’t I?
I’m currently in a slightly cramped rectangle-shaped storage room.
I’ve been placed against the wall, giving me a nice overview of the whole room.
Right across from me is the beautiful looking magic bench with the mood lighting above it.
In between the bench and me are rows of large shelves positioned against the walls with space leftover in the middle to walk through.
There’s some interesting looking stuff on the shelves too.
Nearly everything is covered up or in a box though. It adds a lot of mystery.
I feel like I’ll get to see something new here every day!
There’s so much to look at~
I focus on one of the bottles inside of an open crate on a shelf near me.
Low potion |
Restores 100 HP (Health Points). |
There are several crates of these here.
There’s a single crate filled with these too:
High potion |
Restores 300 HP (Health Points). |
And last, but certainly not least.
Full potion |
Recover all status ailments and 100% HP (Health Points). |
A single full potion. My full potion to be exact.
I can tell it’s mine because there’s still a little bit of dirt sticking to the bottle.
I’m glad this is somehow still with me, I wanted to keep it for when I run into Julia again.
Yellow-coloured things like my full potion and mental ability seem to be quite uncommon?
(I really did receive something amazing, didn’t I?)
If only I was actually able to use my full potion…
Other than my observing ability, I haven’t seen any other purple things yet though.
I wonder if purple-coloured things are even more impressive then yellow?
Anyway, the reason I’m so impressed with my potion is that it’s standing on what appears to be the most important shelf here.
It seems to be where all the most interesting loot from Alcazar’s place ended up.
The teapot is on this shelf as well… but I’m starting to believe there might be more to this teapot than meets the eye…
The reason I say that, is because of the other 2 items on this shelf:
Alchemy vial (Possessed by PETTY SOUL) |
An expertly crafted unbreakable vial. It’s been modified by Alcazar Prestos (deceased) to respond to mana. Moulding mana into the vial will change its shape. |
Dark day bird () (Imbued with PETTY SOUL) |
STATUS: HEALTHY LVL: 1 HP: 25/25 |
I tried focusing on the bit of information about the soul when it came into my mind, but no extra information came up.
The dark day bird inside its cage is doing it’s best not to look at me right now.
It looks terrified.
That’s right. Be afraid.
Looks like I’m finally getting the hang of this scarecrow thing.
(Wooo~)
I make a ghost sound in my mind whilst looking at the bird.
It started shaking.
This is a nice change of pace from the daily torment and threat upon my life.
Anyways, these things both seem to have a soul attached to it like me.
The normal-looking vial that’s actually secretly high spec has been tied down with a bunch of tiny chains to a wooden board.
The vial occasionally starts shaking and morphs into a different shape but the chains keep changing along with it. It seems like it’s trying to escape?
◇◆◇
I’ve found a couple more interesting things hidden away here to look at, but part 2 of my tour will have to wait.
It sounds like someone’s opening the magically locked door.
*CLINK*
The door opens and Elena enters with a tired expression on her face.
She breathes a deep sigh and looks over to the Alcazar loot shelf near me.
Elena quickly approaches the shelf and starts rubbing her hands together.
Her eyes start glowing. Looks like she’s peeking at their status again.
She slowly finishes carefully inspecting each item on the shelf.
The fatigue on her face has blown away and a satisfied expression appears.
She turns to look at me.
(Gulp)
I pretend to swallow saliva in my mind.
(Mmm~)
Elena carefully picks me up, walks over to the workbench, and sets me down.
Elena equips a kilt filled with instruments and takes off a ring she was wearing.
I’m kind of curious so I focus on the ring…
Status obfuscator ring |
A common silver ring adorned with a small crystal. The crystal has been imbued with beginner mind magic, allowing the wearer to modify a single piece of information from their status. |
I’m beginning to feel a little naughty.
This girl revealed my personal information without asking, so it’s time for some payback~
I focus on Elena’s age and titles, trying to find some embarrassing secrets.
Elena () |
AGE: 24 STATUS: N/A LVL: 29 HP: 358/358 MP: 215/215 |
TITLES: - THE OBSERVER - MAGIC WRITER - EX-DELVER - APPRENTICE MERCHANT - SHOP OWNER - MAGIC ENGINEER |
Huh? Nothing changed though?
I feel like I’m missing something really important…
Elena begins rustling around in some of the shelves attached to the workbench.
She takes out some funky looking glasses and puts them on.
It looks like a set of miniature telescopes attached to a glasses frame.
Elena gently starts fondling my scarecrow belly.
I’ve joked about this before, but I might’ve really died and gone to heaven instead of getting reincarnated.
She begins parting what sounds like hay and digging inside of my belly.
(?!)
(E- Elena, this is pretty u- uncomfortable…)
It’s a similar sensation to a dentist digging around in your mouth with their bare fingers. But it’s coming from what feels like my belly.
(Ugh…)
Elena finds something and seems to be moulding some mana into it.
(AAAH!! COLD!)
I feel an intense chill go through me, It feels like that time I hit a nerve when I bumped my elbow against a table.
MENTAL activated. |
1 MP converted. |
Oops, my ability went off.
Elena is shivering and looks shocked.
Yeah. Doesn’t feel good, does it?
Hopefully, this establishes some boundaries.
The dark day bird imbued with a petty soul that was starting to look amused by my predicament is shivering and looking away now too.
Yeah. Be afraid.
Is Elena male? Or is that a typo?
This time it wasn't a typo.
@CoffeeFob33 Wait wait why does it say she all the time then
@Businesssn because the main character hasn't realized Elena's a man yet.
@CoffeeFob33 Aw
@CoffeeFob33 can i ask a question?.... why? why do you hurt me like this?
@PantsuKami We wanted a reverse trap after you made little devil a trap
U foul it's a trap
@Lendahand It was
@CoffeeFob33 Yeah, ngl, i hate that. Gender bender / traps are just not my thing, at all. Hopefully she.. sorry, he, dies or sum, else imma struggle reading this.
@XepixZ If feel more traps are gonna be added
@Businesssn If it does i'll probably drop this tbh
@XepixZ We actually thought there was but it was a typo
Woh hey, i mean i don't hate traps existing i just don't like the fact that i lusted over a guy.
I hate traps but i love cute things, so if you are a cute trap i'll allow it (heh astolfo)
@PantsuKami Fun fact I found out the girls from anime were traps from
r34
@Businesssn I've consumed so much anime and manga that i can tell a trap at a glance and sometimes even hearing it, but i'm still a bit new to traps in novels because they're so much harder for authors to hint at them being a trap
@PantsuKami Oh I was saying before, but know I als9 have a trap sensor
