Storm I: DanMachi - Chapter 3

A week later after I woke up in a bed with an unfamiliar ceiling, I have been doing nothing except improving my breathing. I also noticed that, even without using my breathing technique, I am strong enough to carry an object with a weight of 25kg which seems absurd.

When I used my breathing technique, my strength doubled, if not tripled.

Also, I spent the next 4 days to mend my voice box because of shouting so loud. I collapsed after that roar of mine, so I don’t know why I am here until it was explained that my sister, Alfia, left me to him who was living outside of Orario at that time.

And now, me and this man named Kane, started teaching me. We started at basics, which is reading and writing.

What? I never paid attention to reading and writing and I learned how to speak because I have a body of a child who could learn faster than ȧduŀts do when it comes to speaking a language. There was once a child who knew more or less than a dozen of languages and speak with those said languages.

Well, reading and writing was so super easy that I don’t even need to spend a week to completely finish it. I think I have Eidetic Memory or something because it was still fresh on my mind or it’s because I am child with a temporary IQ of 300 until I turn 5 or so since that’s when usually a kid would learn on a school.

But there’s no such school in a world like this… Maybe there is, but it’s about magic not about mathematics, science, or other subjects. History is a common knowledge, I presume.

Well, my life was actually boring for the whole week until there is this young woman who have a child with her and visit us since 2 days ago. And since I am still a year old, she brėȧstfed me. Yeah, it’s hell for me an sit annoys me since that Kane dude was looking at me while smirking after I drink milk.

Because of that, I decided to mess with his things. An example of that was when I turned a magical staff that would shoot a magic spell, but instead of shooting, it exploded on the spot.

I was laughing at his misfortune when I saw him handing it to a mage and the mage used it, then it exploded on the mage’s face.

Welp, I’m a genius.

I also looked at his blueprints at which I took few failed projects that he tried and some prototypes as well. I started experimenting with a lot of those things and creating a bunch of theories of my own on each blueprints as to why they don’t work and how they should work.

These things happened frequently which led to both of us arguing until Kane saw me picking up some failed prototypes and kept tinkering them until they worked how they should be. Then, he revealed himself and started making theories with me.

Because of that, he gave me books about many things: smithing, brewing potions, making medicines, magic item crafting, magic weapons, and most importantly, the acupoints or acupuncture points on the body as well as the vital points.

Acupoints and Vital points may seem like the same, however, they work differently. If you hit the right acupoints, you can paralyze a person. If you hit the right vital points, you can kill them without wasting too much energy as if you just stood up only to sit down again.

Simply put, acupoints is more of a way for miracle doctors to heal people while vital points are for martial artists. However, if you combine the two, it’s a different story.

Every time we conduct an experiment, I am always using my breathing technique to be able to carry some things that he wants me to bring to him.

On the second year of living with him and suffering from his grin after each and every time I get fed.

He brought a woman. Not just any woman, but it was none other than my sister, Meteria. Yep, she is alive but her sickness is still there because she can’t stand up because of the illness that made her be always on the bed.

And because of that… THAT BASTARD RAPED HER!

I already did my revenge. I didn’t kill him nor did I torture him, I just left the coward in the middle of a forest, tied tightly using the best knots. I’m not a fan of BDSM, but the knot from that is what I used in tying him down.

He can’t escape.

I didn’t kill him. He died on his own. Oh, by the way, he’s just a pitiful level 1 with all his status at E rank. I know it because I was with Zard at that time who wanted to have his status updates along with the other ones.

The funny thing is, he, not Zard, all of his status never rose since the last 14 years that he joined. He was actually 18 when he joined and rȧpėd Meteria at the age of 32. I think FBI already picked him up in the forest.

He’s disgusting, but it doesn’t mean Bell was the same. He may have inherited his wish of wanting to have a harem and his cowardness, but it was wiped out because of Meteria’s personality. Stubbornness, kindhearted, and even the ability to defy the gods.

Yes, Meteria, my sister, could defy a god’s order or request. She even made Hera kneel in front of her.

After a few weeks of spending time with her, her illness suddenly flared up, making her cough up blood. Kane arrived and alleviated the pain before telling us to go inside the locked room we are forbade to enter.

When we entered, the only thing we saw was a kitchen. When we looked around, we saw that the outside is white and blue, the ground and the sky. I can’t see any sun nor moon, but there is a light.

Then, Kane arrived with a sack with him.

Also, Meteria was using the wheelchair that me and Kane crafted for her to use. It’s a magic item which allows her to control where it will go if she wants to.

Oh and, I never mention that I have a tail. Monkey tail at that.

Kane spoke as he opened the bag or some kind of rucksack made of an animal’s skin.

“These beads can summon a wish-granting dragon that grants 5 wishes. Anything could be granted by it. No matter how impossible it seems. However, such thing are a weapon when given at the wrong hands, thus they can only be used by a pure-hearted person.”

My big sister, or neechan which is normal here due to those Far Eastern people spreading their words. Anyway, she asked one thing.

“Can it cure me? Are you really sure? I’ve been hoping for a cure for it but we can’t find anything.” She asked with hopes.

Kane replied, “Of course, you can be cured. After all, we’re talking about miracles here, not just simply magic or a trick.”

While Meteria-nee was crying in joy as she could be cured, Kane started speaking in a language that I don’t know or I don’t recognize.

Then, a golden light shot up in the sky and then coiled around as it forms the figure of a dragon that is so big that it looked like it could devour an entire planet.

“Who woke me up from my slumber? Speak, and let me grant your 5 wishes.” Its booming voice reverberated in the whole place.

Meteria couldn’t speak due to shock and amazement she is witnessing. On the other hand, I want to wish to become stronger, but I know that it wouldn’t grant power.

Kane started speaking first before me, “I want you to cure Meteria’s illness and restore her health as if she never got any illness.”

“That is considered two wishes. Do you want to proceed?”

“Yes. Grant it.”

“Your wishes is now s reality.”

Kane looked at me and smirked, “Kiddo, it’s your time to get wishes.”

“Before I wish, can I ask something first?” I asked.

The dragon nodded.

“What race am I?” I asked because it smells fishy as to why do I have a tail of a monkey as I never saw any person with monkey tails or ears. I don’t have monkey ears, though.

“You, my child, is a Saiyan.”

“I want you to remove my ŀust for battle.”

“It’s reality now. Two more wishes.”

“I want to have a rival.”

“I can’t give you one, but I could bless such child to have such strength that could match you.”

“I want to have a skill that could allow me to use anyone’s skills connected to me, via Falna or blood, and use them.”

“Done… I will grant you another wish because I feel generous today.”

“I want to have a skill that could allow me to use any kind of magic: Elven magic, Arcane Arts, Mystic Arts, Space Magic, Time Magic, Space-Time Magic, and many more.”

“That’s a reality now. It has to have a drawback, though. Your physical abilities: Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, and Agility won’t move an inch from 0, but you can still level up whenever your magic rises to SSS rank, at 1,500.”
