Master Of Myths Chapter 103
Advertisement
Now back outside the gate, YuJu was finally looking through the treasures to sort them out, there were so many goodies to look through which would have made anyone else excited beyond means, not him though for the absence of the sword put him in a bad mood
'I'll check the four big items first'
Excluding the dragon, there were four items that gave off a very strong glow meaning they were rather unique, one of which he wanted to start with since it might change the way he will be sorting everything out
Walking next to the dragon he bent down and looked closely at a worn-out pouch, it was made of black leather that seemingly had a rough feeling to the touch
Using his aura to wrap around it he could sense a possessive grip coming from the pouch at him seemingly wanting to trap whatever it could get its hold over
"Greed aura on a greed pouch? How original"
Sarcastically making the remark he kicked opened the pouch before looking for a random useless looking item form the surroundings to throw into the abnormally dark entrance
Finding a mace he booted it into the much smaller opening of the pouch, that didn't stop the weird object from gobbling it up like a hungry goblin though, swallowing the thing whole into its mysterious space
"Oh, a spatial storage"
Ellis commented by the side
"Yes, an 'extraordinary' one too"
"How so?"
"This small pouch normally has around a thousand square meters to store things in"
The number more than surprised Ellis, that was as big as a house
"Don't be too shocked, its not that useful"
He interrupted before her mind wondered how much they could store with this thing
"The thing that makes it special isn't the spatial size but the fact that greed pouches like these can only store things, you cant take them out after that"

"? Doesn't that make it useless then…"
"Well, not entirely, you could take everything out at once by breaking it open in certain ways"
"So basically it's a spatial piggybank"
"That's one way to put it, however, there should be something special about this one since it is aura manipulated, perhaps a much bigger space or the ability to take out stuff from inside, we don't have a greed aura though so we will be using it like a normal greed pouch"
Even with the slight loss of the item's usability he was still capable of using it to his advantage, especially now that he wanted to speed things up
Before he started cleaning everything up he still wanted to check the other three out first
Moving to the next item he came before the flute that came out first
"It is giving a...sound aura?"
The second he sensed the wavy feeling he booted it into the pouch under Ellis's sad watch, such a strong object treated like trash just because it couldn't be used…
"The next one is this hairpin...Hmm, elegance huh? Ellis this thing should suit you"
Hearing him advising her to use it she tied her hair into a ponytail before taking the intricate blackbird hairpin and using it to pin her new hairstyle
Feeling the aura coming off the item she took a few seconds to make out its use, it didn't take much effort to do so and soon blacklight seeped out from her hair covering her from head to tow as an ethereal veil covered her body, a ripping sound came from under it which bereft her from the clothes she was wearing, the veil however, kept her dignity intact and all one could see was the curvy figure under it that was soon hidden by the newly manifested dress

"Oh, quite interesting"
YuJu looked on in amusement as the redhead turned raven-haired after the change, the dress she now wore was a very dim black, it extended to cover her with gloves and even heels, the only exposed area would be around her loosely hugged jugs, loss enough to show the crow feather tattoo nestled in between them which added more to the raven style look
"It suits you"
He complimented her who was inspecting the dress curiously
"It isn't really my style though Master"
"Yeah I figured as much, plus it exposes the spatial feather to the knowledgeable eye, guess its a useless item then"
"Actually.."
Grabbing his notice before he returned to the rest of the items she used the hairpin again promoting her figure to be veiled, this time there wasn't any ripping sound and her curvy body flashed under the ethereal curtain before revealing itself once more, now dressed in battle attire that seemed a bit too simple looking more like armour plating than clothes really
"It is customisable Master"
"Oh, that's good then, perhaps you could work on the desgine in your free time too"
She nodded her head in acknowledgement, though she herself didn't care too much for how it looked
Following the hairpin YuJu checked out the last item which was in fact a cauldron, a bronze coated cauldron that had a somewhat old look
"I have no idea what this is, the aura doesn't seem like an easy concept but it could perhaps be...mixing? Something of that sort"
This one he stored in his own spatial storage, it could be useful to the little cook back home
Done collecting the four big treasures he turned to Ellis with a serious look
"Now I need you to go and pile up all the items near the dragon so I could quickly sort them out, and hurry since Anput may be in a bind"
"Anput is?! I'll get to it!"
Dashin around she started to go back and forth collecting as many items as she could and dump them near him, her companion could be in danger so even though she was actually rather tired she pushed her body to finish things up
Meanwhile, YuJu wasn't dallying either as he allowed his aura to sweep through the surrounding items checking them in a hasty manner, this could result in more than a few good ones being missed but he couldn't be bothered with them right now, he'd already wasted too much time since he learned of the possible predicament of his little hound so there was no room for pickiness
Most of the items were kicked into the bottomless pouch while only a select few were sent on top of the dragon's body to be stored later
Like this, the two made short work of over a thousand items, each of which could be an extremely valuable tool in the hands of others
'Its just as they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure'
He thought ruefully while continuously kicking left and right, even though deep inside he wished he could make use of this trash

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
