  Chapter 12: 5th day of trial

  while i was talking to the grandma i enjoyed my snack until it was empty and i swallowed the pouch, when it was midnight a window appeared

  Old Grandma "by the gods what did you turn yourself into"

  kid"i became an Infinite Eyes Ultimate Chaotic Medusling and Curiosita became an Ultimate Chaotic Familiar Fairy Queen"

  Old Grandma:You reached ultimate stage in an instant, i don't know if you can be considered monsters anymore you're beyond that, because it's the first time i hear about it, i would even say that your a whole new kind of creature"

  kid"so do i continue my story"

  Old Grandma"alright go on"

  5 hours later

  old grandma"you really are beyond understanding"

  kid"well i came to understand you're a dragon while i was telling my story"

  old grandma"oooh, and how did you know"

  kid"You know about my new race, well how about i show you why it has that name" i turn my skin invisible with transformation and she finally sees a lot of eyes looking towards her.

  A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  old grandma"i see so those eyes can see thought your skin and were able to analyze me thoroughly"

  kid"yes so how many years old are you to want to here alone"

  old grandma"10723 years"

  even i'm shocked i thought she would just be 2000 years older than my mother

  kid"you're right your not old"

  old grandma"right"

  kid"From now on i'm calling you ancient grandma, you're beyond old at this point"

  ancient grandma"see i told you i wasn't old, i'm ancient"

  kid"i thought you would kill me for saying you're ancient"

  ancient Grandma"just so you know there are rank of age in the dragon culture, in the hundreds your a youngling, in the first 5000 years you're considered adults, 5000 years to 10000 years you're considered an elder and afterwards you're considered ancient"

  kid"wow you sure can take years to age, does it get boring"

  ancient"well we enjoy our time we do whatever we want, for example i pass the time recovering books and writing them, the majority of the books here are filled with magic or curses, there are a bit about history, others are handwritten by me"

  kid"can i read everything until the end of the trial"

  ancient"no, i don't want anyone to touch them"

  kid"please i will do anything"

  ancient"fine, find me someone with 100 years of difference or less with me and i will let you read everything"

  kid"alright let's make a soul contract" i make a contract with my mana and blood and write it in japanese

  (i write this in English for the readers)

  kid "here sign this with your blood and i will proceed with your quest"

  ancient"so young and already able to make soul/blood contracts" she transforms her finger into a claw and pierces her thumb.

  She lets a drop of blood fall on the contract immediately afterwards a copy of the contract appears and goes inside her soul.

  ancient"why is it i can't move?"

  kid"because i'm going to eat you"

  i plant my hand inside her and remove her soul and swallow her old body

  kid*i want to give birth to her*

  i wait for the egg and insert her soul inside

  5 hours later this egg sure is big

  i finally lay the egg and immediately opens, i create a seed and bring my hand to her but she bites my hand off with the seed, for a moment she was happy she had a bit of revenge, but 1 second later she was flabbergasted because my hand regenerated immediately

  kid"yeah i hid some things when i told you the story, but don't worry you're my wife now and i'm going to read your books. the seed you ate along with my arm will help you grow and you no longer need to eat or drink, also i made it so your body would mature at the same rate as mine and when i become an adult you will have an adult body so you won't have to wait a thousand years, also because of your ancient soul your body will get stronger faster until you reach the same level of strength as your old body and now i just have one thing to say"

  i approach her and lift her a bit while hugging her

  kid "you look so cute angry"

  ancient 'unhand me you bastard'

  kid 'Curiosita, hector, she's cute don't you think'

  hector'that angry does make her look cute'

  Curiosita"you're right master she looks adorable"

  i kiss her, i think she's blushing a bit i lay her down slowly

  kid"You should meditate and circulate the power inside your soul in your whole body, also what's your name"

  Ancient'Liberia' she says while blushing

  kid"your cute while blushing"

  Liberia'shut up'

  i sit down and extand all my hair snakes to first look for dictionnaries and the books i can already read

  Liberia'what are you doing?'

  Kid "i'm reading your books, i'm starting with the books i can already read and the language books you have why"

  Liberia'i don't understand how can you be reading?'

  kid"i remember everything, i even remember my stay inside my mother before i was laid in my egg, also i see everything my eyes see and there are eyes everywhere in my body including the hair snakes whole body, so right now i see all the house on all planes of existences, what i mean is i can see ghosts, spirits and souls and after i ate your old body i can now see very far and very near, curiosita come here i must change your eyes again"

  curiosita'ok, thanks'

  i grab one of my snake hairs and remove it's eyes, they regenerate, i grab curiosita

  kid "you must command your body to stop regennerating your eyes until i plant the new ones alright"she nods, i remove the old eyes and eat them and place the new eyes inside her eye-sockets.

  she heals immediately afterwards

  curiosita"thank you, can i go and read too"

  kid"sure"

  hector'can i go read books about medicine'

  kid'yes, i will read them after i'm finished with history and language'

  i remove 2 of my main eyes, regenerate, and go in front of Liberia

  kid"i'm going to remove your eyes and plant these"

  Liberia"Fine, do it"

  i kiss her and immediately remove her eyes and plant mine. She uses magic to heal them after a minute she opens them

  Liberia'so this is what you see, also i can see some souls inside your belly why's that'

  kid"well you see i eat bodies whole and sometimes i eat them while they are alive and assimilate their bodies immediately but when it comes to souls, i assimilate them only if if i rip them apart, but when i don't i keep them inside my stomach and i don't know how to release them"

  Liberia'you just have to free them from your body and they will be brought to the cycle of reincarnation by death'

  kid"thanks i didn't know that" i release the souls of everything i ate, except the lichs soul because it was too late for it but i will try something else to keep the balance of things

  Death appears afterwards and appears as a black robed skullface fellow with a black scythe, i go towards it and speak to it, it ignores me and slashes the souls i just released with her scythe. i grab it's head before it disappears

  kid"excuse me but could you spare me some time" while bringing its face closer

  Skullface"why the hell are you grabbing me?" it seems to be shocked of what's happening and slashes at me but the scythe can't slash and bounces back

  kid"i wanted to know if there were consequences for soul eaters because i'm one"

  skullface"let me call my supervisor and wait"

  adult skullface"what's going on and why are you calling me"

  skullface"father save me please"

  adult skullface"please release my daughter"

  kid" she's a girl...only if you answer my question"

  skullface "why the pause?" we ignore her

  adult skullface"fine what do you want to know?"

  kid"You see i'm a soul eater and i ate a lichs soul and ripped it apart to assimilate it and i wanted to know if i would suffer any consequences, because i know souls must go to the cycle of reincarnation"

  adult skullface"well you sure are diligent, well consequences there are some, but since you're being so kind i will tell you what we do, you see your not the only one that can eat souls and honestly it can be bothersome, so what we must do with lichs soul is pierce them with our scythes so their foulness gets absorbed by the scythes and then we slash the purified soul to transfer it to the cycle of reincarnation but if you assimilated the soul then we have to extract it and put it back together, please let me check"

  adult skullface'it would seem the soul fragments have been purified but are scattered if you want we can pierce you and recover the soul because the soul will go towards the scythe'

  kid"are there ranks in the death industry"

  adult skullface"yes you can can consider me and my daughter to be only messengers of Death"

  kid"can you call Death here"

  adult skullface"yes but why?"

  kid"i want to strike a deal"

  adult skullface"fine"

  Death"what do you want?" he appears with a giant scythe, it's more evolved than the other scythes

  kid"i want to strike a deal with you"

  Death"and what is that deal"

  kid"if i go after the other soul eaters and undead would you accept to do me a small favour"

  Death"what is it?"

  kid"do not move for the next minute"

  Death"fine"

  i swallow him

  the 2 others are shocked but i'm not finished, i remove Death's soul and next i swallow its scythe

  now the 2 other have a horrified expression but i ignore them

  kid*i want to reproduce deaths body*

  an egg is produced inside me and i insert Deaths soul inside

  some minutes later

  i lay her egg and she get out

  kid"just wondering do you eat"

  Death"no we eat the impurities in soul with our scythes and our development is linked to our scythes improvement"

  kid"well good i won't have any trouble turning you back into a big boss then"

  i reproduce her scythe and give it to her she turns back into what she was before i swallowed her

  kid"good i got the power of your scythe, your cloak and your eyes power"

  Death"you got what?"

  kid"i swallowed you because i wanted these powers and the reason why i got them when i swallowed you is because i assimilate everything i eat except souls, to assimilate souls i have to rip them apart and i ripped a lichs soul days ago. i wasn't sure about what would happen if the number of souls going to the cycle of reincarnation dropped, so i took hostage 1 of the little skullfaces and made her call a superior and made him call you by telling him i wanted to strike a deal with you, after that i swallowed you and your giant scythe to get your powers, let me show you"

  i show her by piercing my arm with my claws and gather the soul fragments of the lichs soul towards my claws and get it out. i slash it with my claws and it disappears

  Death"fine at least you didn't really steal anything, it was payment for you to do us a little favor, now from now on you will chase after other soul eaters and secure the souls they have eaten and also take care of the undeads with souls controlling them, also we have to warn you we cannot enter places with seals, so you should check the souls or other things that were sealed by people, also you will be under surveillance by the little skullface you took hostage and don't even think about complaining or i will fire you, she will have permission to contact me if you abuse my powers too much, now let’s return to work"

  kid"so what's your name"I ask the skullface

  skullface”Ripperia”

  kid"so what would be considered abuse of power?"

  ripperia"it would be if you did a mass murder by using our chiefs power otherwise do whatever you want"

  kid"i was wondering do you really not eat?"

  ripperia"if you consider eating foulness with our scythes eating, than yes, otherwise we don't really eat"

  kid"well here you go" i create foulness using material reproducer

  ripperia"what is this, why do you have so much foulness?"

  kid"i just recreated the foulness i got when i assimilated the lich's soul, you saw me recreating your boss's scythe, well i can also recreate another scythe if you want or i can produce the amount of foulness needed for you to become the new boss"

  ripperia"no, i already hated my job, i don't wanna have more responsibilities, the order of supervising you can be considered my freedom"

  kid"wow you sure have it hard, how old are you"

  ripperia"i'm 10 years old"

  kid"you sure start working at an early age. is that a mask or your real face"

  ripperia"what i'm wearing right now is my job uniform"

  liberia"since you're going to be with us there's something you should know?"

  ripperia"what?"

  liberia"she's an hermaphrodite, her familiar fairy and me are her wife's and if you want you can get better eyes"

  ripperia"what do you mean"

  liberia"show her"she says towards me

  kid*curiosita come here* i call with our mental link and she comes

  curiosita"what is it"

  kid"i just got better eyes, i know we just changed them but do you want to change them again"

  curiosita"ok"

  and so i show ripperia how i plant my eyes in curiosita

  curiosita"so what do the new eyes show"

  kid"the time before an item break or a person dies of old, but it doesn't include future illnesses, rust or other external factors"

  curiosita"well, master i can see you have an horizontal 8 before dying of old"

  kid"that's the symbol of infinity, it means i won't die of old"

  curiosita"let's look at liberia" she looks towards her

  curiosita"it seems you will die before me"

  kid"don't cry curiosita, i know presently it's showing 50000 years but that's only if she stays like this and doesn't do any training, it will probably get better as time passes and she gets stronger, also she probably has some way of becoming a divine being to stop herself from aging, right" i look towards her and i think she snapped because we were talking about her age and gave me a punch to the stomach and made a big hole to replace my stomach

  liberia"shut up" my stomach regenerates immediately and it seems she's pouting or something like that, i go to her and give her a big hug

  kid"don't worry, when you start training and get stronger your life time will also increase, also because you have a new body, the control and power of an ancient dragon, the earlier you start the better the results will be, ok, also that reaction was so cute"

  ripperia*these people are crazy, one is a snake head freak that regenerates immediately, another is a familiar fairy that enjoys having her eyes changed and the last one is a youngling with the soul of an ancient dragon inside her with a cute girl reaction syndrome*

  ripperia"so you now have Death's eye power?"

  kid"yes, also i have chaos sigh and the ancient dragon sight, also i have an infinite number of eyes" i turn my skin invisible"see"i turn my skin back to how it was.

  ripperia"*yup she's a crazy freak*"after she said that i remove 2 of my main eyes, remove her mask, rip off her eyeballs and plant mine. i eat her eyes.

  kid"that's for saying i'm a freak, just so you know i'm a crazy seeker of knowledge not a freak, at most you could say i'm unique or a new race, and don't worry now you have the same sight as me so you will see a lot more things"

  She's about to cry i think

  kid"why are you crying?"

  ripperia"i can't get married anymore and worst is i'm married to you, wahh"

  kid"and why are you married to me?"

  ripperia"because in our tradition marriage is done with the exchange of our eyes" now she looks mad and slashes at me with her scythe but it bounces off and she doesn't stop until she's tired of doing it.

  quickly approach her, remove her mask and kiss her

  kid"don't worry i will take good care of you too, so can you train or something since we will be staying here until the end of the birth trial of survival"

  ripperia"Yes we refine the foulness we have collected inside our scythes and use it to get stronger and develop" she says while blushing

  kid"good because i don't know how many days are left, so you will have to kill time by training"

  liberia"there are 2 days and a half left including today, in total it's 7 days"

  kid"now i just thought of something"

  liberia"what is it"

  kid"what will i say to mother?"

  liberia"tell her you have tree wives and must purify nature and kill soul eaters and restore souls and slash them to bring them to the cycle of reincarnation"

  kid"ok, so for the next 2 days we're going to meditate while my hair read all the books, also here" i put the foulness i created inside ripperia's scythe"now you have some foulness to refine"

  ripperia"thank you"

  kid*well now i'm going to meditate and try figuring out things with my own body, i haven't stopped working so i haven't checked how mana works*

  i close my eyes and meditate
