Dream Life

Episode XI: The Orb

On the evening of June 20th, I finished my evening bareback and casually checked my status.

When I think of the status as "information," it comes to my mind on its own, but it's troublesome because I can't see the items I want to see unless I think of the items I want to check.

Since I cummed out for my birthday, I've been busy improving the toilet and drafting another reform proposal, and I've seen very little of my status lately.

(Long time no see, checking status is)

Upon checking the status, each status had changed little, but there was one decidedly different item.

It had the title "Swordsman."

Zacharias Lockhart, four years old, swordsman, level one.

I was surprised and almost raised my voice unexpectedly.

Upon checking your skills,

“Skills: Swordsmanship I, Physical Five, Negotiation Thirty, Computation Seventy”

(You're a swordsman because your swordsmanship skills have come together... sounds good)

As for non-swordsmanship skills, they were up by the age of four. As for physical surgery, it went up a little bit in gymnastics and so on that I thought of myself, and the negotiations were gradually going up, also according to remembering the words. But only the calculations were up all at once when I learned the numbers.

At the time, I was surprised by that, but I couldn't ask anyone, and I left it there.

("Physical surgery" would be the result of trick training. I wonder what “negotiation” is also because I learned the words and I have more vocabulary. But I wonder why it's thirty. I'm also surprised that "calculation” is seventy. The swordsmanship was seventy, so it's a comparable skill level)

I'm thinking of a hypothesis about negotiation and calculation.

Wasn't the original capacity of Yataro Kawasaki quantified in both calculations and negotiations?

As for calculations, I quite forget about geometry, but I still remember about calculus, so it would be the top of the world in this world.

As for the negotiations, too, what was cultivated in more than twenty years of social life was probably quantified by remembering the words. I'm not sure if the number thirty is high or low, but the level of general swordsman is about thirty, so I guess it means you've reached a level that you can use for your profession.

I thought about if there are any other skills that are likely to go up, but I don't know if there are any that haven't gone up yet because I don't remember what happened to the skills themselves.

That's what I concluded about calculations and negotiations, but as for swordsmanship, it's the result of my efforts. Besides, I was unassuming glad that I got the title "Swordsman” to qualify me for something.

(You're a swordsman... something, sounds like a national credential. Exactly what a "samurai" qualification... wait, if I'm a swordsman, maybe Mel too. Will you ask tomorrow?)

I went to report to my grandfather, my master, that I had become a swordsman.

When I went to my grandfather's room, I was wiping the sweat I shed before dinner.

My grandfather looks a little surprised because I was with him earlier and he came in happy.

"What's the matter? You look like a jerk?

Maybe my face was pretty nasty. Still, I couldn't hide my joy.

"I became a swordsman. I just checked my swordsmanship skills…"

"What!"

Block my story along the way and my grandfather shows his surprise face.

I came here to report that my grandfather would be happy, but my grandfather's reaction was completely different from my imagination.

(Is that so surprising? I trained every day, so it wouldn't be weird to get results, would it?

"Is something wrong? I think it's the result of my training..."

"Did you tell anyone about that? No, in the first place, you're not supposed to have an orb... how..."

My grandfather doesn't know what he's confused about or what he's talking about to me.

"I came here first to report to my uncle. You know, I'm four, so I don't have an orb. But what's so weird?

An orb is a special magic tool, a tool like a high-tech ID that allows you to verify your identity by transcribing your personal information into that tool.

I don't know the principle well enough to ask, but they say that there are gem-like crystals called Demonic Crystals in the bodies of those with magic, including humans. There are stories of real names, race, gender, age, etc. that are personal information, and Orb is said to be a generic name for a magic prop that can transcribe that demonic crystal stone information.

Normally, when I'm about ten, I create them in places like city and village halls. Other guilds such as Adventurer and Mercenary guilds can be created.

I am told that I do not make it until I am ten years old because of the high child mortality rate and because I lose it as soon as I bring it to my child.

Even in the village of Rasmore, villagers often make it on their tenth birthday.

In a family of knights like ours, they often make them when they're about five years old to start martial arts training, but in my case, they didn't.

My brother Rod said he made it at the age of five, so I thought it was something I could get next year, too.

"Is it weird without an orb?

"You don't know... do you..."

My grandfather started talking slowly, looking unconvinced.

"Skills are the first thing you can confirm by wearing an orb. Where you made the orb, for example, if you made it in a Mercenary Guild, your skill in combat is mainly in a Mage Guild, and if you make it in a Mage Guild, you know the level of magic. I don't know the reason, but I hear it's getting easier to use in each profession..."

(I mean, I saw my skills without an orb, so I said it was unusual...)

"The orb's“ transcriber "in the Mansion Here is close to that of the Adventurer's Guild. The skills required for martial arts systems and outdoor activities can be read. But you said you didn't have an orb yet. I've never heard anything like this..."

My grandfather goes further with a serious face.

"It is assumed that all of them are inscribed by God in the Demonic Stone. In fact, the sinner is engraved with his sin on the Demonic Crystal. Naturally, you can read that in an orb as well. Many people in the Temple believe that the“ bond ”that connects God to man is the Demonic Crystal Stone and the Orb. You read it without going through an orb that is a bond with God. I mean..."

I took over my grandfather's words,

"I mean, I could check my skills, without an orb, which is a bond with God. So you're saying you might be a heretic?

"Bye. You were born here by God. But those who do not know it may not need a God we believe in, that is, they may be considered evil gods or demons."

Technically, there is no God in this world called the Evil God. The Temple of Light, which believes in the God of Light (Lucidus) - the denomination that calls it the Light Divinity - refers to the Dark God (Noctis) as the Evil God, but the Dark God is also a pillar of the Attribute God and is included among the twelve pillars.

There are demons and demons who act with unique values in the family of the Dark God, but they are also beings with demonic crystal stones.

Although there is a god of nothingness (Vanitas) that is not the only subject of faith and cannot be counted among the twelve pillars of God, the doctrine that makes this god evil is not common. On the contrary, it seems that many do not know Vanitas himself.

"What do you think I should do?," he hears his grandfather's thoughts.

"I have to make an orb first. If there's any information in the orb on that, fine. If I don't answer... I'll have to think about it then."

I couldn't look at my distressed grandfather's face, and I nodded silently, looking straight down.

"Anyway, I'll tell Matt - Zach's father - to make an orb tomorrow as well. This is a secret between Noon and you. I'll talk to Matt and Tanya - Zach's mother - depending on tomorrow's results, but there's no need to worry about them."

I nodded at it, and I asked him more about the status.

"Sushi? You think it's a number that represents strength, strength, wisdom? I've never heard of that before. I don't know about Doctus, an academic city, but I've never heard of him."

At least the status doesn't seem to be common.

(Can't you also see the status? But if you can't transcribe my information to the orb, don't be in a pretty tough situation)

Orb is a biometric ID. You can't go into a big city without this, and you can't stay in an inn. I mean, you're going to have to live in this village for the rest of your life.

I left my grandfather's room feeling completely chilled when I came in.

Even at dinner afterwards, my grandfather and I didn't feel good, and the whole dining table had a sinking atmosphere.

My father asked me anything, but he didn't say anything about seeing the color of rejection in my grandfather's face.

The next day, the story comes up about me and Mel, Dan, and making four orbs for Sharon.

Dan and Mel were five years old and had begun further training so there was no particular problem. But we all seemed surprised to make an orb of Sharon, who was only four years old and not attending any more training.

About Sharon, but this is more like an aside. My grandfather told me that he would give orbs to only three people, including me, so I asked Sharon, who would be out of company, to make them too.

My usual grandfather would have disagreed, but he admitted he cared about me without saying anything in particular.

My father told Mel's father Hector and Dan and Sharon's father Guy about creating an orb.

Suddenly decided, they both seemed surprised, but for no particular reason to disagree, the creation of the orb was to take place.

We are forced to follow the words of our Father and take the oath "to obey the Lord's life and not to break the law".

This is because if you commit a serious criminal act like breaking a pledge, it is a mechanism for keeping records on the Demon Crystal Stone, but no one knew what mechanism would keep records on the Demon Crystal Stone.

(Will there remain negative emotions in the demonic crystal stone such as psychological ones, for example, that you have sinned?

Upon taking the oath, we head to one of the rooms behind the mansion.

In that room there was a magic prop - a wooden box about three meters high, one and five meters wide and one meter deep - that read information on the Demonic Crystal Stone, in which it was said to read information.

In chronological order, Mel, Dan, Sharon and I go in, and it's my turn at the end.

Mel, a little frightened, goes into the box.

There was no particular sound or anything, and in about thirty seconds she came out of the box.

When Dan said, "How'd it go? I ask," but my father blamed me for "Dan next," and I reluctantly went into the box.

I whispered to Mel, "How'd it go?," he said.

"The light glittered, um... Here's the light line..."

There seems to be some light coming out, but I don't really know what it's about in her words and zesty.

In the meantime, it doesn't hurt or itch, so I can afford a little bit of Sharon's expression, which was blue-faced by fear.

Sharon followed Dan and my turn came around at the end.

(I can't help it, but I guess the convicted sinner feels this way too...)

After I thought about that, I went into the box telling myself that if it was God of this world who called me to this world, I would be fine.

When I get inside, I can slowly close the lid from the outside. It gets dark for a moment in a box with no gaps.

Waiting in that state for about five seconds, the light suddenly emits a colorful laser ray-like light that glances through my body as I scan the whole thing. And the light ended abruptly in about thirty seconds.

The box lid is opened and told that this is the end.

(I can't open it, but what about the results?

My father told me it would take about thirty minutes before I could orb, so the four of us were to wait.

Compared to the three excited people, I'm concerned about the results and not mixed up in chatter.

Thirty long minutes passed and my father came back before us. There were four pendants in his hand with shiny gems like obsidian about a centimeter in diameter.

"This is your orb. It's hard to lose it, so wear it when you go to bed. Okay, Mel."

My father hands it to me, checking one by one.

And it's my turn.

"This belongs to Zach. Don't lose it."

I just crossed over to everyone and my father explains how to use the orb.

"Now the orb usage. It doesn't matter because our village has no gates, but in the big city we have to show this when we get inside the city. Now look at the orb. Hold it in your hand like this and think" display ”. That should put a name or something in your head. Do it."

On my father's signal, the four hold the orb in their hands and meditate their eyes simultaneously.

I was ready and thought "display”.

Name: Zacharias Lockhart Age: 4 Gender: Male Race: People

Place of birth: Rasmore Village, Lockhart Territory, Northeastern Border District, Caerm Empire

Level: Swordsman I

Skills: Swordsmanship I, Physical Five

I accidentally grabbed my right fist and made a gut pose for the display.

(Information comes to mind. It's like letters, it's like audio. Sure, even people who can't read letters can understand audio. And it was good. Now I can live normal......)

My fathers are wondering about my guts pose.

My father said, "Is something wrong?" I was anxious to know how to answer, "he asked.

"I was becoming a swordsman. Swordsmanship..."

Did my father convince you of that word, too, smack me in the head lightly?

"Well, good for you. Maybe your father made you make it fast, too."

I told Mel to delude Gatspaws, "How'd it go?," she asks, "but she doesn't get it well, shaking her neck to the side.

My father, who saw how it was,

"The next step is to look at other people's orbs. Same way. You just have to take that person's orb and think of it as" display ”in the same way. Mel, Zach, Dan and Sharon."

When I show Mel's orb,

Name: Melissa MarronAge: Five yearsSex: FemaleRace: People

Place of birth: Rasmore Village, Lockhart Territory, Northeastern Border District, Caerm Empire

Level: ―

The level is "-" and the skill is not displayed itself.

I finally calmed down, so I put it back into my usual toddler language and said, "Father, is there something you can't see?" I ask.

"I can't see people's skills. All you can see is someone you can look at, such as a lord like me. Alliances are different again, but I'll tell you when they're a little older."

I was apparently the only one who had become a swordsman.

(I thought Mel was more talented. Maybe the morning and evening bareback time is working. Nevertheless, neither negotiations nor calculations are displayed. Would a commercial guild orb show it?

I immediately go to my grandfather and report that I have become a swordsman.

And he whispered, "I can handle it. I'm sorry for your concern," I kept my head down.

Then Mel started auditioning more than usual because he found out I had become a swordsman.

Dan was also inspired by her, so that she could do the archery even if she was tired.

And Mel became a swordsman on June 30th, ten days after me, and on July 21st, 21 days after Dan was further delayed.

Beginning with my grandfather, my servants were also amazed at its incredible speed.
