Master Of None

The boy that was brought to the Genesis building was not what they expected. Instead of an older boy that everyone expected, it was a child. He was clearly only nine years old, but was definitely tougher than most his age. That was just the reality for those that grew up within the demon lands. The demons with power had beaten many down. Only the tough could survive.

”This is Ebon, he is the young slime breeder that was recommended by Ventus’s child from a small demon village. She blacked him because he was glad to stand against monsters attacking the village without her fighting them. She naturally helped in the end, but was very stricken by his actions.”

Clara introduced the young boy. He clearly was a bit uncomfortable in his clothing. This was most likely because he was not used to wearing better clothes than what he had had in the demon village.

However, a few of the dragonkin were surprised to hear that this boy had an attachment to one of the royal dragon’s children. It was not dom4hting thought to be easy. Especially since dragon’s were prideful.

What they did not take in to account was simple. The young dragons that Ventus had raised were not raised in the same ways that the past wind dragons were raised. Instead of hard circumstances and training from a young age, they had been raised with more care. They had been raised with more respect as well.

Therefore, this different growth was made to help the young dragons learn to respect life in general more than others would. They were not blinded by the natural pride that came with being a dragon. Dragons were powerful, instead of letting it influence them in a negative way, they had been taught to use it to help and protect. That was just the start of their minds growing in a new way.

Adding on what they saw of the Genesis forces, the young dragons had been able to open their minds even more. This only grew when their mother gave them the task to protect these villages. They saw that there was pain for all the demons there. They heard and learned of the gruesome pasts that they had.

From there, they had begun their efforts to fix that. But in that process, they had also started to follow the way of Genesis. Accepting other races. Accepting the differences to grow together with other races. The young were very influenced by their surroundings.

”My friend said to come here. She said she would visit when she was allowed.” Ebon spoke softly. It was very intimidating being here. However, Clara gave him a pat on the shoulder to help calm his nerves.

”Your friend is one of my children. Her name is lavender. She hatched the day a lavender bush bloomed. It was a sign that nature was waiting for her.” Ventus had been busy but arrived at the opportune time. ”I visited her recently, she said she was very curious to see what you could do with your courage.”

This was high praise from a royal dragon. More specifically, a wind dominator dragon. ”I-”

”Don’t worry, you can call me Aunt Ventus. I somewhat like the terms that humans use for family. I see why other races adapted them so easily and many years before us dragons. You are a demon that will live quite some time if you are wise. So, you should grow up with my daughter. Just make sure you meet her two siblings too.” Ventus seemed to have a little more of an inkling of what her daughter thought.

That aside, the room was full of surprise seeing that Ventus was acting like any other sneaky mother. ”Now, please tell us what you think of our plan. Do you think you can help us make a light slime or a healing slime to use as bait?”

”I have only helped two slimes grow. I don’t know…” Ebon was young and inexperienced. It was just the way things were.

”That would be the colorless slime, it lacks a true affinity which would be the best slime to work with in my opinion. However, he has a demonic slime which was the one he gave all his mana and even some of his blood to help defend his village from a few monsters causing trouble.” Clara specified for everyone present.

Many of the representatives had left since they had other tasks to handle. Only those that knew they were able to assist in this event were left. Specifically, Walker, Alice, and Rise had remained closer than ever. A few elven mages with light affinity remained as well. They had been called on by Alma to help since they had been training with the light affinity dragonkin warriors.

”First are materials. We have light crystals can be used, some ground white sands that have light affinity, and a few other things that we can gather or already have being brought to the cathedral. Let’s head there now. For the moment, tell us what you know?” Walker was blunt but also welcoming. He knew that Ebon might be lacking in knowledge, but he could share a lot more than he realized.

While Elise had wanted to stay, she had headed to the tamer’s guild to prepare what she could for this. She knew that the tamer’s guild could use this to steal away a clearly powerful system user. The slime breeder they were fighting against proved that. This young demon might become a powerhouse to protect Genesis in the future. Not might, it was a matter of time!

”I think that it will need to be able to have a solid shape and then be liquid around it. The colorless slime I made with quests was made from a puddle filled with herbs. I was playing when I found quests to bring leaves to the puddle.” This made a lot of ssense.

The many different quests that everyone received from the system were always a hard to grasp at first. Especially when it was chain quotes. However, for someone realizing their system, they had to follow them and understand the results of such quests. This was similar for alchemists and other systems related to creating things like medicine.

But creating a slime meant that a life was created so to speak. A slime core could develop from other slime’s bodies. Therefore, a colorless slime was most likely created because of the various manas within the puddle that has bled from the herbs. Then the slime body had been able to grow because the core was formed from these manas and natural fusion that happened.

”We can get you a cauldron that has light elemental rune formations on it. That way you will be able to see the light mana being drawn in. Alcie might even be able to sing a song that channels more light mana in to it. That way you can focus on whatever the quotes you have are. How about that?”

This made the most sense. The right puddle for the job so to speak.

”Oh, that would work, right?” The boy was surprised. Ebon had not received much for items since he had not known what to ask for. He was still unsure what to do with the readily available healing a food that he had not seen in his village before the Genesis forces saved it.

”Can i try to control it the way I did with my strong slime?” Ebin thought that he could just pour his mana in to a colorless slime again and get it to change the same way. But he was also nice in that way.

”You can not do that. The demonic slime is strong, but it is violent due to the unique mana you gave it. It has a dark affinity that makes it have decaying effects along with a slight fire affinity. That is why it is demonic and not normal. But your blood caused you to be very weak afterwards and the slime to be bonded to you very closely. The light affinity we are looking for might not be possible if it matches your affinities.”

Walker clearly explained the reason that he could not have this happen. Ebon had heard that after he had fought with the monsters, that he had nearly died. He even was missing a horn tiup when he woke up. But Clara had explained this to Walker before he ahd met Ebon which helped Walker keep Ebon on task to a degree.

”Then I need to make a new one differently?” Now was the key to all of this. Ebon clearly had the imagination that only a younger child could have. A unique perspective that Walker felt bad about losing through his adventures. He ahd been growing a lot and his mind was less flexible. It was a loss of innocence. But he was glad to see even children that grew up in constant danger had imagination. Had a chance for more.

”A new way is the best chance. That’s what alchemists are doing right now. What blacksmiths are doing right now. What mages are doing right now. They are looking for new unique ways to make everyone stronger. To protect everyone.” this made Ebon open his eyes wide. He felt that he was helping something bigger. This was a little late to realize, but he was young.
