Woah.

Woah, this is hard to control.

I know, right? It feels like swimming but without all that water, which makes it even more important to never stop flapping otherwise were going down.

You guys remember that feeling when your stomach drops during flights? Yeah, it feels worse, so dont fall again.

Since I left the cave, two weeks have gone by with me aimlessly wandering the Belzac forest, which I would rather call a maze but whatever.

After exploring around this area, Ive noticed that it isnt much different compared to the mountain, I was born at. Although I must say that the variety of plants and monsters bring a much more vibrant and livelier atmosphere, that my birth location was severely lacking.

There were so many monsters here, that I was excited about the idea of overhunting everything for the experience!

Regrettably, my search for rank D monsters has been completely fruitless. Most of my battles in this forest were against multiple rank E monsters, while anything below just outright avoided me.

I mean, I wont complain if they want to gift me experience on a silver platter, but I question how they survived until this day when they cant evaluate how strong I am.

With my fire elemental magic, these guys are mostly fodder anyways, cause against the havoc, I can do with upper-tier fire spells and [Inferno Blast] from [Inferno Magic], they just stand no chance. My evolution bonus, [Pyrokinesis], is a godsend that allows me to spam all this fire without fear of burning down the forest.

In fact, my control over my flames is so precise, that I can create a barrier or armor of fire without the need of a specific spell for it. Frankly, without this skill, this forest would have been long gone, considering how boldly Im using my fire spells.

Ah, I love it.

Now back to the present.

What Im trying to do here is flying. During my [Humanize] practice, I recently learned that my wings have finally gotten strong enough to lift me. Well, not their physical ability. It's more like my wing's mana capacity has grown to the point, that it has enough space for me to strengthen them.

I was overjoyed when I found this out that I could, at long last, take a step towards the sky. The human desire to conquer the skies, the dream of Icarus and Daedalus, and now I will be the one to make it come true.

Unfortunately, there are some complications.Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

First, [Humanize Lv.3] took away the hunchback and made me as tall as a 5-year-old, but it did not change the weight distribution of this body. How am I to fly in my human form, when standing is already a challenge? The human wont conquer the skies; the dragon will.

Secondly, flying is not so easy. Birds make it look super easy, to the point that I could believe them being biological anti-gravity machines. This whole defying gravity using mana is hardcore stuff.

Im getting better with controlling my mana in my wings so its progressing somewhat.

Enough for today. Our mana is under 2/3rd now.

Whew, good work. I think we can go have a tour around the forests skies soon, with how much we are improving the control of our mana output. This whole process just requires a ton of practice, thats all.

I shakily descended towards the ground, being careful to do it slowly to prevent any accidents. Once that familiar feeling in my feet returned, I activated [Humanize], waited for the smoke to disappear, struck a pose, and

Kra Sasa!

yelled a cool catchphrase.

What the hellwas that?!

A pose and a cool catchphrase.

You call that cool?! Wha? How theWere supposed to understand the originals, your, decisions and actions but that islame!

Lame. Lame. Lame! OMG, the cringe.

Pff, shut it already. Look into my mind and you'll understand why I did that. The pose is cute and when our voice comes back, it will blow away people! Invest in this now, girls.

I admit, the pose doesnt look that disastrous, considering how our appearance is cool looking, but what is "Kra Sasa" supposed to mean? From our understanding, it's apparently just some sounds you made up.

Which makes it sound cute.

W-What is this silence?! Even the other parallel minds, #4 and #5, are looking at me in a way a parent would look at their failing kid.

Manager mind, our original mind seems to have been infected by another dose of stupid.

W-Wah?!

I cant help but agree. It seems something is affecting her thought process that is completely foreign to our own.

Hey, you big bully, what are you trying to say?! I havent changed at all, at all. If you cant understand that I just did something cool, cute, awesome and super cute, then its you guys that are disconnected from me!

Su-Super cute?! Where did your shame go if you consider that appropriate for our age?

Guys! I-I think I know whats going on here.

Wait, you do?!

Y-Yeah. Remember how we used to act, when we were 5-years-old Remember how [Humanize Lv.3] would change our physical age? Shesuhhhacting her age?

How do you conveniently know that already?

Manager mind, we are literally five separate clones of an original mind, who processes information at an inhuman rate, while having full access to the original's memories, current feelings and senses. One of us finding the proper answer to what could be happening doesn't sound farfetched.

Manager mind and #2 were astounded that they overlooked this simple fact. It seems being bested by #3 and the two quiet parallel minds, gave the usually vocal duo a grave shock.

Hey, stop ignoring me! Why are you suggesting that acting my age is something bad? You guys are meanies!

Oh.

Yeah, that does bring me back to the time our mother introduced us to that anime about transforming magical girls in sailor outfits. That page in our black history, where we did all those weird poses in kindergarten. Argh, its coming back!

Please turn back into a dragon right now, original mind!

Huh? Dont wanna.

Please stop acting like a kid and turn back for our sake.

Not gonna happen. You guys insulted my cool, cute, awesome and super cute pose and catchphrase.

If they wont accept them, then I need to make them accept them. Witness the power of a pose made by a Sailor Girl!

Kra Sasa!

The moment I did it again, my parallel minds froze for a second, grimaced, and began cradling their heads to hide a huge blush that they all had.

#2, instead, chose to let out her anger to hide her embarrassment.

Oof, you bitchif you want to play that game, then eat this. Remember the time with those slimes?!

What are you talking about?

Come on, I know you still remember it. If you dont, then how about this. Girls, join in!

With that said, my parallel minds fully exposed a single, condensed memory pack that was hidden inside my mind.

*******************

It was the second day after leaving the cave.

Besides a few rank F monsters that I hunted down for taste testing, there wasnt anything exciting to mention. I was able to replenish all the herbs and spices, now that Im out of the cave, so my meals have started to taste better again.

Not to mention all the strawberriesI mean fragassas. The name is different, but this is essentially a strawberry in this world. Its sweeter, bigger, and smells amazing. Imagine strawberry perfume and shampoo!

Fragassa

A red fruit covered by small seeds on the outer part of its skin. A sweet fragrance is always emitted to attract animals into eating them to help distribute the seeds around. The juices are plenty and sweet to a fault

Those rank F have been able to stop [Battle Frenzy] from appearing but Im feeling a bit unsatisfied by this.

Thats when I found a shack. A shack in a forest. OMG. A human could be living thereoh, forget that option. This hut looks like it had seen better days.

The walls of the hut were covered in moss, only missing around areas that had a hole. Im no expert but this place mustnt have had any visitors for ages now. I dont think any humans are in there, but the possibility of a monster using this place as a home sounds plausible.

Approaching the shack with caution, I noticed a few corpses, more like skeletons, of monsters I am very familiar of.

Identify.
