Master Of None

”Why is it that-”

”Yes yes, every time I do something nothing we expect happens or something weird happens.” Walker sighed after Su tried to ask him this. Especially because they had somehow managed to have a literal solution to their problem appear too quickly.

The simple reasoning behind why Walker wanted to capture the youngest corpse fly was safety and the fact that if tamed they could be an incredibly useful monster to have to help deal with the monsters in the future.

When considering an incident where a monster swarm, herd, or a seasonal event like with the locust he had fought in the past, there would be many useless parts of monsters that needed to be dealt with.

There were only so many ways to make them useful and the corpse fly swarm could easily break them down in to fertilizer for the farms while dissipating manas which could then flow in to the world around them. It was an ideal way to handle these things.

However, this young demon girl had been brought with her older father who was a rune carver that would work on the new city being built. She had then been lucky enough to manage to walk passed all the guards, meet Walker, and then instantly tame the youngest corpse fly and become a whole new class.

”I do have a skill for it.” She hummed to herself while Midnight still gave her strange looks.

”A skill for it?” the old man shook his head while Walker asked this. He had been wondering what the class would be and more details, but the way that this girl said it, the skill

”My daughter has a habit of wandering off and getting in to little spots of trouble. I promise you, it’s not a skill.” The old father shook his head. Since he had managed to survive being abused by the demons turned monster and brought his family to Genesis for a new future, he had only had more and more events like this where his daughter worked her way in to odd situations. Now she has outdone herself.

”No, it’s a skill called a little luck. It makes me luckier.”

”And I told you, a skill that can not be displayed to show others doesn’t exist.”

He looked embarrassed as much as any [parent would when they are handling the lies of their child.

”Show me then.” Walker had a feeling that there might be more to it. A skill that others couldn’t see was not odd at all. There were god system users, more clearly now, god class users knew that the world had been repaired properly. So why wouldn’t those have been hidden from others in the past and present?

As Walker saw the system appear from the young girl’s will, he smirked and saw exactly what he was looking for.

’Just a little luck- hidden passive skill

This skill is randomly assigned like many others in the world. It is the will of the world and existence to produce events at a higher rate. These events can be related to enlightenment, encounters, and anything affected by random fair chance. Many would feel this skill is useless due to the oddity of the situations, however, this skill exists to continue the turning and advancement of the world and existence.

Not many have the ability to view this skill. Those with deep connections to the wills of the world and existence are able to due to their roles within both the world and existence. This skill can not be obtained and many will never even know it exists…’

An odd and a very strange skill but Walker was sure that it was a skill that the world and existence had made appear just to keep everyone growing in a positive direction. It also didn’t specify where the luck came from or if luck would even be manipulated at all. Just that there was a little luck involved.

”You have a good skill there. But be careful since you shouldn’t be running in to dangerous places like this one.” Walker nodded after reading the skill. The old father was wide eyes realizing that he could not see something that Walker, a hero, could easily see. It was astounding.

”It’s a unique passive skill most people can’t see. Your daughter was lucky enough to see it and be born with it. Most people would never even know they have it let alone be able to tell others about it.”

This weird situation had managed to baffle the old father for years and would definitely be doing so for a few more. But now he could see that the random trouble his daughter worked her way in to without fail might not be her mischievous nature. Then again… it might just be a partner to that.

”So, you have tamer of the swarm as your class now. Not quite a rune carver but a class that we needed and you can even join the taming guild to learn about or teach others about.”

It was certain that Su was moving the conversation ahead to make sure that they would managed to keep patrolling sooner. She had the best interest of everyone in mind and Walker wasn’t going to fault her for pushing a little.

”Since that’s the case you need to keep those corpse flies fed and happy. We will go that way to see what they had eaten before and find you some food for them.” This was something that Walker and Midnight could handle right now.

”Ok!” She agreed and her father took her hand to head back to the camp. He also began to lecture her in the dangers of rubbing off toward monsters even if she felt her skill was going to help her. Just because she was a little lucky didn’t mean that she couldn’t get hurt.

Hearing the parental lecture made Walker feel that his lifestyle would have earned him many more of those kinds of lectures if he was more normal and less overly strong.

With a nod from Su, Midnight and Walker headed toward the direction the corpse fly swarm came from. A few faster soldiers kept up with them to keep an eye on the area as well. They would scout while Walker and Midnight observed the source of the corps fly swarm if there was one.

A short walk away, they began smelling it first. The smell of rot that came with any body left out too long. The body of a larger monster was too hard to recognize now. Walker didn’t even get a proper all around appraisal of what it had once been.

Yet, he could tell it had large claws so it might have been some sort of lizard with some very weak dragon blood in it. The place it had died however, was important.

Whatever the monster was had been digging and seemingly broken in to small pockets of rocks.

’Rock bubbles

These rocks are formed from the skill of an ancient monster called a lava bubbler. They spit large bubbles of magma at their prey causing any area they fight in to have strange cooled lava rock formations. Some manage to plants, monster parts, and even monster eggs in them. If the plant seeds or monster eggs survive they can sometimes grow. Most of the time they are just left as fossils…’

It wasn’t odd to see things like this, they’d all seen instances of monsters surviving in eggs or other strange ways. But for a monster to have caused this was interesting.

The lava bubbler was definitely a monster that used a unique way of fighting. It often caused fossils and other forms of preserved stone trapping accidentally. This entire area could have many more things just like it hidden under the ground or even being shown like these spots were.

”Bubbles made of magma and lava… I wonder if that used wind mana too.” While he didn’t spend too much thought on this, Walker would be sure to attempt a similar mixing of manas to make a skill like this.

His mind went to what manas he could put inside and if he could make exploding balls of magma that would be able to mimic the exploding fire balls some mages used. Regardless of this, he would also send some people to study this area more closely.

The monster that had been eaten had been perfect food to awaken the corpse fly eggs and allow one to control the undead corps fly swarm around it.

It was going to be another valuable asset for Genesis and another piece of knowledge that could be valuable to many aspects of the people. Right now the focus was still on the building of the new city.

Or at least that’s what Walker wanted to remain focused on.
