Bundle of joy

*knock knock knock* I wake up wrapped in my own tail refreshed from a good night's sleep thanks to my lamia body. I make my way over to the door to be greeted by an energetic little hugger. Sophia rubs her face all over my sleeping dress before looking up and saying in her hyper excited voice, "Good morning big sis Sarah! Ready for breakfast?".

This little glutton! I saw her sneak into the kitchen at midnight and eat a pound of meat before scurrying back to her room when her mother came out. I'm glad I have the gate and hunted so many beasts in One-Piece because she can eat some of the bigger ones in a day.

I have been in their village for two weeks and so far, I'm enjoying this world.

The first night that I spent in the village they threw a feast to celebrate the clearing of the monsters in the meadow. The monster meat was tasty and went well with juices made in the local orchard.

That night there was a shock to all the people in the village, including me. When the feast was under way and Sophia was asking me questions a seemingly harmless one slipped out, "When you go off to fight the wave, can I come with? I want to be a hero like you!".

This was a question that went unnoticed by everyone except her parents. I didn't want to leave her behind so I said that she could come on the condition she stay in the back and be my support. She was so happy by my acceptance that when a little text box popped up saying she had become a companion of the gauntlet hero, she tackled me off my seat in a hug filled with pure excitement and joy.

She ran around telling all the villagers about the text box, or 'hero menu magic' as it is known to the people of this world. You see, I used my gauntlets and crushed the ability crystal with the reincarnator's system in it while still in One-Piece, but the will of the world didn't know about this. When she saw me pull out my gauntlets and show them to the wolf village earlier in the woods, she blessed them with the same menu the other heroes have. I didn't know about this until just now, so I was in a daze watching my new wolf partner shock the entire village with this tidbit of me being a fifth hero.

Since then we would go hunting in the forest everyday after breakfast. My gauntlets had two systems in them, but the more powerful one had the leveling feature turned off. So, the blessing was eaten by the other system and added a companion feature.

Since she can't level up by just killing monsters we train in teamwork and skills for when we are summoned to the waves.

I already registered myself at the local dragon hourglass in a church dedicated to the shield hero. The local viscount didn't believe that I was a fifth hero so there would be no help from the beast man kingdom yet.

Good news is that I was able to crack the distortion during the first week. Looking inside there was a "goddess" focusing with her eyes closed. She was the cause of the force pushing the two worlds together.

I hid my spying magic well so there was no chance of her detecting me. Comparing the soul fragment to the goddess in front of me it looked like a match. This was a problem because I needed to take care of both at the same time. Take care of one and the other will notice and go into hiding.

My new task was to turn the energy from the space distortion into a seal that would rip the fragmented soul from the human kingdom and merge it with the other before restricting their powers. It would take three weeks, but I am hoping to cut it down to two. That means next week I should be able to complete my mission from the will of the world.

The waves would still occur because the worlds need to push themselves back into place, but that is because they are still weak from exhaustion.

"Big sis hurry up and eat! I need more training if I am going to help during the waves.", she urges me. I see her parents flinch from the corner of my eye at the mention of their daughter fighting in the waves. I talked with them about safety measures to take so she doesn't get hurt. They agreed to let her go but were worried about only the two of us facing thousands of monsters all alone.

I alleviated their worries by using magic under the summoning category in my mind computer. In the clear field thousands of elemental spirits appeared. While this is categorized as summoning it is closer to creation. You take the elemental energy in the air and give it a basic program with mental energy. My fusion energy works just as well and gives them tougher bodies and better control over their elements.

I plan to use this magic on all the areas a wave occurs. The village people notified me of how the waves occur all over the world and I am not going to let people die when I can do something to save them. Checking the dragon hourglass gauntlets I see the next set of waves will occur in two weeks.

Before the wave occurs, I will be taking the goddess down.

==================one week later===================

It's time. The distortions ready to be turned into a seal for the troublemaker. She is still deep in her concentration so there shouldn't be any chance of her noticing.

I put the last part in place and the distortion collapses on the goddess. The soul fragment is ripped from the body it was inhabiting, before speeding to the seal and completing the soul. By now she is fully aware and panicking from the sudden attack. The pulling force has already stopped when her concentration was broken.

I ignore the will of the world's notification for a meeting and teleport directly above the goddess. Placing my hand on her head; synthesis kicks in and her powers flood out of her and into the waiting golden gate entrance. She plummets to the ground because she can't fly anymore. I catch her and whisk her into a portal where the will of the world is waiting.

"Thank you so much. I truly cannot express my gratitude for what you have done. I was terrified that I may no longer exist and be forced into being another person.", she says in a choked-up voice that breaks my heart to hear.

I tell her the cause of the problem and hand the former goddess over. She assures that the former goddess will get her comeuppance. Asking what I want in payment for saving her I tell her to wait until she is back in place and at full power. She thanks me and I teleport back to the village that I am growing fond of.

"Big sis, where were you? I was looking all over the village when I couldn't find you in your room.", Sophia says jumping into my arms. Such a beautiful world.
