Announcement (II)

Who the hell am I?

"who the hell am I?" I really didn't understand why she is asking.

"aren't you the one that made my identity card?" I asked her

"I don't talk about the Gustang Lijk's identity, what's your true identity?" her tone became aggressive and her eyes started glowing dim gold…

"I'm sorry but I can't catch up with the situation so well, will you calm down a bit and get your hands off me first..." it's not like I was going to keep myself calm in this situation.

"You…how did you know about my name?"

"it was written on your nameplate, is there any other way for me to know of your name except for that obvious one"

Her grip loosened up a bit but her doubting gaze didn't flinch. "enough with your bullshit, do you really think that I'd believe of a human understanding our draconic language, earlier you even mentioned something about letters and words, something about you keeps annoying me"

"Wait, what draconic language? Your name was written in…"

Huh? What language was it? What? It wasn't something in Latina letters, or was it?

Wait, but how did I?

"Clara, earlier when you were making my identity card, can you remember the process of that exact spell?"

Just as she let my hand, and her expression changed, but before she could even utter a word, someone else started speaking.

"It is my great pleasure to welcome each and every one of you to this special event. Today, we have the honour of welcoming a group of refugees who have joined us in this holy land of the lost"

His voice echoed in the crowded area, Osias was standing in the balcony of Vincent's castle, his voice was amplified by some spells, that reached kilometres far.

"As you all know, the humans witnessed the same fate as of our ancestors. They have had to leave behind everything they know and love, to survive and deal with the situation in hands. The last chess pieces of the Lords that watch over us from beyond the universe. Or so they said"

"Allow me to provide some context for our new arrivals. Throughout history, we have been summoned to this continent by a group known as the Beyonders. While this land may appear to be a paradise, it is, in fact, a battlefield and a training ground. We have been brought here to prepare for an impending threat from mythical creatures that lurk in the vast expanse of the universe. These creatures are hungry and they are heading towards our world. It is our duty to stand against them and protect our home."

"By the blessings we have been granted we'll be able to face them and defend our world"

What Osias was explaining is identical to what that entity and Brook told me.

"A group of vampire scientists were able to develop item that can measure your stats and project it inside of you mind…by the time you will return to your residences, you will be provided by the item" Osias added while pointing to them.

"The item will be also able to deduce your affinity with certain elementals"

"Which is Air, Earth, Ice, Fire, Electricity and Imaginary elements"

Then he proceeded to explain the meaning of the stars in engraved in their hands.

Each engraved star on an individual's hand represents a certain level of power and potential. These stars are known to be ratings, indicating the maximum limit of the individual's stats in different areas. There are a total of six stars, with each star having a different limit of stat totals.

The first star, which is common, has a total stat limit of 120. These stats are based on an individual's strength, constitution, dexterity, intelligence, wisdom, and charisma. Strength represents the physical power of an individual, while constitution represents their endurance and resilience. Dexterity is the measure of an individual's agility and reflexes. Intelligence indicates an individual's ability to process and analyze information, while wisdom is the measure of their insight and intuition. Finally, charisma represents an individual's personality and social skills.

The second star, which is rare, has a total stat limit of 180, and it represents a significant increase in power compared to the first star. The third star, which is heroic, has a total stat limit of 180 and represents a further increase in power. The fourth star, which is legendary, has a total stat limit of 360, making it even more powerful than the previous stars.

The fifth star is semi-mythical, and its total stats can reach up to 540, indicating an enormous increase in power compared to the previous stars. The sixth star is mythical, with a total stat limit of 720, which is significantly higher than the previous stars, indicating unparalleled power and potential.

"In summary, the engraved stars on an individual's hand represent their potential and maximum limits in different areas of stats, including strength, constitution, dexterity, intelligence, wisdom, and charisma. As an individual's power level increases with each star, their potential for achieving incredible feats also increases.

"And based on those data's you will be able to decide on a job, that suit your abilities, we will cooperate to take down this threat and while at it maybe we will be able to return home or live in harmony in Chamenopolis."

With that his speech came to a conclusion, everyone started to move back to their residence, so I was about to do the same, but I had to deal with one last thing.

The doubt that Clara Asteria has about me. "Shall we continue what we were talking about?" I initiated before she would do.

"You asked me about a spell process? Matter of fact I have fire elemental affinity, and that spell is data recording and transfer, it was created by the draconic tower"

"Hmm and what is this supposed to be?"

"Something like what you would call a research laboratory, where magicians, scientists, alchemists, strategist and brain people gather to study and develop techniques and items and discuss solutions for Chamenopolis problems…"

"Do you have any spells that works like a lie detector because I want to go home, and I don't want to be doubted on a daily basis by you"

And I mean it, I don't like to be doubted or gazed upon by people, I don't like anyone to judge me on anything, and if there is any problem or misunderstanding between me and someone, I actually proceed to end it quickly and explain the problem, because in general I hate interacting with people, I hate to be a cast in other people's life.

"Saskia…"

Huh

"Saskia got some kind of blessing that deal with psychology, I don't trust you for now, but if there is someone whom I trust the most…it's Saskia"

"follow me to the Vampire's district!"

"Ah … sure lead the way"

I don't know what she saw dangerous about me, a starless. However we took a taxi to the vampire's district; I don't know if they gave it the name taxi or something else.

Of course, I told Liam and Ruby that I'm going for a while, Liam just sent me off, turns out he used his ultimate flirting methods to seduce an elf lady, I felt shivers the moment he approached me and whispered in my ears "she's just 500 years old" what? Just? And Ruby…she was just Ruby; she just stared awkwardly at me and told me not to be late.

"By the way did you know to cook your food, this morning?" she asked me, breaking the awkward silence

"Food? I don't think it was food but I'm full anyway"

"I see, then you can cook yourself"

"Yes, some dishes, easiest ones… I was living alone so of course I had to cook at least basic dishes"

"Relatable, I think budget management was the hardest part to me when it came to living alone."

I knew it, she's too soft to keep the act of the bad cop, so she is trying to break the ice between us now, good cop strategy.

"Clara … do you know of any ability that allows you translate text and scriptures in other languages"

"The only ones who were able to do it this fluently were ancient dragons, but a certain group, a criminal organization called 'the last sentence', 20 Years ago they wreak havoc in the continent for some unknown reason, but the most confusing thing about them is that they had some members with special affinity, unusual imaginary element …"

Something like the word … it seems I started to get the reason behind her actions

"So, you suspect that I am one of them"

"I did at first, but I could not sense any special power from you, so I put aside the possibility that you are from the 'Last sentence', but I am still curious about your ability to understand the draconic language"

"What if told you … that even I myself don't know how I was able to do it, I can see letters here and there randomly, but it's out of my control … I mean … I am not even blessed God damnit"

And even the special item I was bestowed is absent for synchronization.

"that's why we're going to see Saskia"
