Blessing of the Soul Goddess

-With this blessing, all Soul Attribute attacks will be resisted proportionally to your rank, and all your Soul Attribute attacks will be increased proportionally to your rank.

---

"(Well, just reading this makes me feel thrilled, much more so if we test it firsthand.)"

I strongly feel this way, and as I search my status board for a skill or ability to test the blessing, I find:

^Search result found^ 

^-Divine: Soulsphere 

-Soulsphere: Oracle (Soulsphered Abilities) 

-Soulsphere: Etc (Soulsphered Skills) 

--Soulsphere: Etc (Soulsphered Abilities) ^

"Oh, you're back, buddy. I didn't notice. I thought you were dead at the time when you detached me from the former body and exploded"

^The said AI is indeed terminated. I'm a new AI program recreated by Makina from the previous AI's data. With that data, I'll do my best to assist you.^

"(Is that so....)"

"Ah, I see, Sorry, Nice to meet you."

^Nice to meet you too. From now on, my assistance is available to you.^

As I greet the new AI, I mourn a bit for the previous AI that assisted me, regretting my ignorance that led to its demise.

Greeting the new companion, I vow to do better and ensure I'm not a burden this time.

To solidify this vow, I decide to give this AI a name, something I couldn't do for the previous one.

"Okay, good. Then, how should I call you?"

^You don't have to worry about that. Just think of any assistance I can provide, and I'll aid you.^

"No, it feels uncomfortable. I don't like asking for help from someone whose name I don't know."

^Then, for your convenience, you can call me by any name you choose.^

"Haha, naming you... that might be difficult for me."

^Then I'll generate and randomly choose a name to avoid causing you any inconvenience.^

"No, you don't have to do that. It's more meaningful if we choose the name together."

Although I don't know if it's just my imagination, this budy here briefly looked at me with a blank expression and responded.

^... Then I'm looking forward to it.^

Smiling at the response, I think of many names. I want it to be unique, but perhaps because I'm a mimic, I prefer the name that first came to mind, though I rejected it initially for being too common and generic.

"Although it's a bit cliché, the name I keep thinking of is synonymous with service and assistance. But because of that, it's meaningful and iconic name."

"Sebastian, that will be your name."

^... Sebastian. Understood. Registering the name Sebastian in this program.^

^Registration complete. From now on, you may refer to me as Sebastian.^

"Good. Again, nice to meet you, Sebastian."

^My pleasure is mine, Master.^

"Haha, drop the 'master'. You can call me Loid."

"Then, nice to meet you, Loid."

I don't know why the change of speech, but it's now more pleasant talking to Sebastian.

"Now, back to the topic. What can we use to test the blessing?"

^As of now, based on the data gathered from your status board, the abilities and skills we could test the blessing with are...^

^-Divine: Soulsphere 

-Soulsphere: Etc (Soulsphered Abilities) 

-Soulsphere: Etc (Soulsphered Skills) 

-Divine: Ascertainment ^

"Hmm, I see. They're indeed skills and abilities related to the soul, especially those granted by the Goddess of Soul herself. Without a doubt, we could use these for testing. But-"

I made sure to emphasize my insistence on doing things this way with what I was about to say

"No offensive attacks?"

^We don't have any offensive attacks.^

"I see..."

It seems we lack any soul-attribute offensive attacks to test with, despite having soul-attribute skills and abilities but when it comes to romance, offensive and showy attacks are the best way to go.

"Is there anything we can do?"

^Analyzing request.^

^Processing complete.^

^The result of the analysis shows that it's possible to create a soul attribute offensive attack with the ability 'Shapeshift,' with the help of the skill 'Mimicry.' The problem is we need assistance from a specific individual.^

Upon hearing this, I can't help but ask eagerly:

"Who is it?"

^The assistance we need is from...^

Anticipating the answer, I inquire further:

"Who?"

"Is it...?"

^It's the ruler and the one that governs the soul in this world.^

Upon hearing this, I'm left dumbfounded.

"No way..."

^The esteemed Soul Goddess, Aksa. It's best to seek her assistance and guidance for this.^

Hearing this, I glance sideways and see the Goddess interacting with Makina gathering more data from her beyond the basic information I asked earlier.

Noticing my gaze, the Goddess looks back at me with a questioning expression. Knowing her, I hope and pray that she's at least decent at teaching and won't be petty about it.

"Umm..."

•What?•

"Well, you see..."

I'm really hoping the gods above other than the one in front of me grant my wish and not my nightmare.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Seven days passed under the tutelage of the Soul Goddess. She taught me all the soul skills I could handle with my current capabilities and even threw in some non-soul skills. These past days have been grueling, filled with relentless practice and skill cultivation.

Despite my gratitude for her teaching, I couldn't shake the feeling that she had some malicious intent behind her discipline. She often shot me with attack skills under the guise of teaching and guidance, smirking and chuckling to herself as secretly as she could, thinking I wouldn't notice. 

I swear I will get back at her for this someday. I secretly and grudgingly vow to myself.

"Loid, are you okay?" 

"Ah, yes, I'm fine."

I cleared my thoughts and responded to Makina's question, preparing for what we needed to do next.

"Are all things ready and in the right condition?"

"Yes,"

Makina replied.

"The connection is stable, and the quality of the livestream is the best I could make it. We're all ready to start."

"Then..."

I took a deep breath, exhaling all the nervousness, anxiety, and anything else that might bring me down.

"Let's start."

I gave the signal to begin, and Sebastian rolled the video camera in front of me. With his assistance, a rectangle hologram appeared inside my head, showing me the live feed. In the corner of the hologram was a red box with the word "LIVE" written inside it.

An intro played, complete with music to present the show. At the end of the intro, a welcoming statement appeared:

[Welcome to Another World Channel]
