Alma POV 3/5

------

"So, if I slash you into the clothes of a man, can you eat the clothes?" I asked.

"No, it doesn't work like that either, it has to be items not held by anyone or owned by anyone." He said.

"So many restrictions… Are you sure you're an actual Rank 9 Intelligent Weapon?! I am beginning to believe you're just an idiot." I sighed.

"W-Who are you calling idiot! Burp… Hahh… This was a good meal, Alma! I feel filled with power, enough power to show you what I am capable of!"

The dagger began to float in midair using one of his new abilities.

"Look! I can fly! By using one of those artifacts' abilities named "Cloud Step" I can step in the wind and fly! Amazing, right?" he asked.

"Well, you're indeed quite amazing, that is something really cool," I admitted.

"See? Haha!"

"But boring… Show me all your abilities in detail one by one, let's see what you're capable of after eating these millenary artifacts that cost a fortune." I said.

"I-I'll show you, little Alma!"

Wow, it was so easy to let him reveal his powers, I guess it is not so complex…

He began to showcase to me some of his abilities one by one. They were interesting. He was able to assimilate one or two abilities from anything he devoured. These artifacts were rich in power, so what he got was great.

He was able to fly with the Cloud Step Ability he got from a pair of Golden Boots.

He got the power to impulse himself like a rocket with the Piercing Meteor Ability he got from an Emerald Spear.

He was able to hop in between the sky through the High Jump Ability from the Blessed Sandals.

See and sense through walls using the Hyper Sense Ability from that eye-shaped artifact.

Conjure complicated magic using the Mana Mastery Ability within the Metallic Witch Hat.

He got the Camouflage and Stealth Abilities from the Black Robes.

And more support-related things. Nothing too game-breaking, but when everything paired up together, it became an amazing combination that implemented to his utility by a tenfold.

I had asked him which type of magic he could use.

"I cannot use true Magic, that only mana core users do. But I do have certain attacks that resemble spells… You see, my true element is Space and Void Attributes! The Void Attribute was one of the attributes that the Moon Princess of Starlight Immortal Venerable had discovered! She made me using divine materials of such an element. Hence my greatness." He said.

"Ooh! What can you do now?"

"As of now, nothing, I lack the MP. I ate all those artifacts so I could gain energy, so don't complain if you end up forcing me to do too many things and end up

"What? You're so useless…"

In the end, I ended with a Dagger that could do many things but no way to use him completely because he would run out of energy. If I could feed him mana it would be amazing, as I have infinite quantities of it, but that also would be impossible anyway because it will turn into miasma and infect him with it… which is obviously bad.

So I can only use him in emergencies…

And he doesn't stop bothering me that I must feed him every day…

Ugh…

Throughout the week, I did nothing much that speak with him and read books. He knew a surprising amount of things, so I satiated my curiosity about this world with him, he was a living library of knowledge I could have never been able to get into.

After all, as the first living weapon and the one made by a Venerable, he had seen many things through his "life" though most of it has been sleeping too.

The books I read are all about magic, magic theory, spirit theory, and I've begun to read about the history of this country, the forest, the elves, and the long past.

I discovered more about the Venerables, all of them, and discovered how was each one capable of building and shaping this world into a new and completely different era every time…

The most terrifying one was the Blood Era, where the Vampire Venerable, a reincarnated person like me, used his new race and attribute gotten from his unique skill [Vampire Progenitor] to turn the entire world upside down.

Vampires spread across all the continents and chaos unfolded, most mortals were dying, all Kingdoms and sects were disappearing so much, 90% of the entire world was coated in a red mist, Vampiric beings, and Vampire Families replacing sects and even nations…

But things changed at long last when he died, but even then, it kept like this for generations until the Venerable of Ice, the Ice Queen, an Ice Giant from Jotunheim became Rank 10, she cleansed the world from Vampires, purging the entire world out of Vampires, and barely letting some remain, who crawled underground, hopefully, to never see them return…

I also read about other things, such as a book I found about seals and how to break them as if it were destiny or luck… Clearly, Main Character was playing an important role here!

Rose came thrice every day to bring me my meals and help me a bath in the morning and at night before bed, she always brought me new clothes and was often quite lovely with me.

Rose is the only mother I got here… My own mother is now barely here.

I fear that Greenwood had made my parents do something strange, I don't know what's up with all of this, but this bastard is really… doing something to my parents.

After a month since I found him, I ended revealing Dagger the truth about me, that I was reincarnated, I had Unique Skills, and about Greenwood.

He accepted it pretty easily…

"Ohh! Beautiful Little Alma, this must be why you're so talented!" he said.

I guess he took it pretty easily.

I wonder if he can help me out on helping my parents… Can he?
