Chapter 19: Amazing Surprise!
*Yona’s POV*
The frog seemingly got bored of the dungeon, and sooo explore the outside. We didn’t realize it, but some Goblins have started to explore outside the dungeon. This might be a problem, if the dungeoures are leaving their , then a break might soon happen…
Well, that won’t be my problem. This dungeon is closer to the human kingdom anyway. As for the frog, they wandered around for a bit, before ing in tact with a few wolves.
The frog was then saved by a bigger frog. We were very surprised by this, but then the big frog tried to kill it. Luckily, it mao hop away to safety. It then hunkered down inside of a cra a big rock.
My maids and I went to a nearby tree for shelter. We couldn’t make any camp, sihe frog would realize that someone was following them. The frog looked to be sleeping, so we took out some food that my maids packed for us, and started eating.
A few hours after we ate, the being evolved once again. This time, we were posed. We had assumed that it was going to evolve into another monster. When the white light was gone, we were shocked once more…
Rather than a frog, or another random mohere was now a beautiful little girl sleeping in pce of the frog… From what is known about beings that use the System, it usually takes them around fifty evolutions before they evolve into a humanoid being… Did we somehow miss most of her evolutions?…
The girl, after sleeping for a few more hours, finally awoke. She looked to be in pain, clearly from the evolution. I would imagine something like that to be very painful. Once she realized what her new body was, she seemed to be very happy.
The girl then ran towards a ke. O the ke, she examined her new body. The girl was clearly happy about it, going by the bright smile that appeared on her face.
She then did something curious. She gathered up some sticks, made a circle with some rocks, and thewo rocks to make a small fire. Despite her appeara was clear that she wasn’t a child.
With a fe sticks in her hands, she went over to the ke, and speared a few fish with them. Then she headed back to the fire, a up the sticks so that the fish would cook over the fire.
These rings also block our voices from being heard by others, so we discussed on rather or not that I should approach her. If she was just a child, then I would have done so without much thought.
But this girl isn’t a standard reinater. From the records, most of them were stated to be extremely fused by their situation, and cked pretty much all survival skills. Even with them being monsters for a short period of time, they still cked them. However, this girl knew how to survive.
After much discussion, it was decided that I would go talk to her. It worked out quite well. The girl clearly reized me, and she was also terrible at lying. The fish that she cooked was obviously very bnd. But having e in tact with someohat use the System, made me smile untrolbly.
The girl had g my head, clearly looking with curiosity to the two horns on it. Since she could see through my disguise magic, it means that she doesn’t have aive feelings towards my kind. Something that made me very happy to find out about.
Her intelligence was quite high as well. Although it was a bit cruel to manipute her like this, I only gave her the knowledge of my nguage. That way, she is more likely to side with my kind, rather than her own kind.
When she used her System to i me, I easily felt it. I already khat she had a System, but I still o act surprised.
I then got to fulfill a childhood dream of mine. I khat I was quite strong, but there really was no way to quantify my strength. Those with a System easily know at all times what their strengths and weaknesses are. Something most people ot know.
Having someoh a System i you, means that they just tell you yours. And the girl, Celia, carefully expined my Status, and even hers. She eveailed her strength, so that I could uand my Status better.
As she expi, one of my maid wrote down my Status for me. Although it won’t update like Celia’s System, it is still good to have that information down on paper.
After talking for a bit, I gifted her a badge from my family, and a pouch. The pouch was a magical item. When Celia ied it, she must have e to the clusion that it was just a normal pouch. Going by the disappointed look on her face.
It is already known how to block the I skill. Objects block the I skill, but you ’t do the same for living beings. Holy, the main reason why those that use the System are so sought after, is that a few of them were able to give others the ability to use the System.
Ah, I went on a ta. Anyway, the pouch is a magic pouch that hold way more than it looks like it could hold. I feel bad, but it isly an expeem. I currently have a far better one, and the ohat I gave her, was just ohat a maid of mine gave up, so that I could give it to Celia.
Eventually, Celia will realize this. And I am sure the expression on her face will be very iing. I did leave quite a few goodies in it for her to use. I then bid her farewell, and preteo leave. I walked further into the forest, before activating my ring once more, and then going back to her.
Celia left shortly after I did, and she went into the forest, opposite of the dire that I preteo leave in. While she was walking, she seemed to be talking to someone. She is most likely talking to her System itself.
The little girl was so damn cute, any random person would have the desire to protect her. Which is exactly what we did. I did tell her that I wouldn’t coddle her, but I will still protect her i.
She will most likely get bored of this forest in a few days, and then will head to my kingdom. Until then, we will watch her. Not always, mind you. I have already sent a maid to gather others to protect Celia. If we let her die now, this entire world would be at a loss…
This forest is detly dangerous, but she will quickly hit a wall with her Status. That is, unless she ends up going back to that dungeon… I shall just hope that she doesn’t do that.
The main reason why no one has tried to cim this forest, is because there aren’t any resources in it. And trying to build a fort out here, would be insane. Not to mention absurdly expehe various monsters roaming around doesn’t help either. On top of all that, trying to cim this forest, would end up causing a war. Thankfully, no kingdom has tried to do so just yet.
While I was thinking about this opic, Celia disappeared from my sight… I was very shocked by this, but I stayed calm. Walking over to where she st was, I could see a hole, that she clearly fell down into.
The hole was dark, but I could see a few feet into it, and I reize the walls as the same walls from that dungeon. And what’s worse, is that the hole is too small for either me, or my maids to fit through…
