Bridge Chapter 18 ( Papa want's it all)
🕑 Added 2024-09-08 16:32:57 +0000 UTCI had decided to go to a higher level dungeon but that drew a complication. The I.D Create skill was rather low, so I had to grind it out. That would usually be a rather difficult feat but I had some advantages here.
My skills glasses did their part but it was not the hard cary here.
No, that reward belonged to the illustrious Kaleidoscope. I could not use the Kaleidoscope to throw beams of unlimited Mana borrowed from my parallel selves but I could use it to recover my Mana.
So I could spam the skill over and over again only pausing to fill my Mana back up. A truly broken combination.
Ringo looked at me rather oddly when I just stood in front of her and the world around her started to flicker rapidly. The empty I.D was fine for spamming so she got an open window into people popping into and out of existence.
The people could not see me due to my Coat and once I told Ringo what was going on she hid her presence. The joys of having a competent companion.
Now that I had the skill leveled up a bit I had a new problem.
[I.D Create LV 45/100]
The greatest friend of all Gamers the Dungeon Raid. Sure, you might ignore your friends and your girlfriend might cuck you but you got to get that sweet sweet grind on. Go forth and grind for all you are worth Gamer!
Empty I.D (Time Dilation[2.25], Mana Recovery, Health Recovery)
Zombie I.D (Cleared, Time Dilation [2])
Ghost I.D (Time DIlation[1.75])
Orcs I.D (Time Dilation[1.50])
Low-Fantasy I.D
Shinobi I.D
Undead I.D
Elf I.D
Demon I.D
Angel I.D
[]
The list of I.D that I could access was rather large. I was having issues picking when I had such a large range. I was not sure which would be the best option for me.
At least I was confident in crossing off Demons and Angels. I might be able to handle it but jumping right into the deep end did not sound pleasant to me.
The lower level I.D had time dilation and the higher it was the lower the time rate was but was it worth it? The Ninja I.D might be the perfect dungeon for me to practice and it would give great XP but I would be missing out on that dilation.
I could grind the skill further but Ringo was already standing around for the past three hours watching me. I think she might actually lose it if I put her through more.
She was loyal but she also had a rather short attention span. There was no point in putting her through more hassle.
I guess I could leave it alone for today and grind later when I maxed the skill but I wanted to level up some more. The added loot was a fantastic bonus as well…a part of me wanted to help Ringo as well. It may be hard but pushing her up one level should be okay.
I looked over at the bored mad woman who was looking at the wandering peasant with a face that screamed she was going to stab someone.
Well, since I was having a hard time choosing I might as well bring in some back up.
“Hey Ringo-san I need some advice.” I spoke out and I could see Ringo twitch but she pretended like she did not hear me. I felt my eye brow twitch.
She was a bit miffed about all of this so she wanted me to do something for her. I just assumed her request was a joke but maybe she was actually serious.
I stared at her in silence for a long while before letting out a groan. Fine, it was not like I suffered much in this deal.
“Onee-chan I need some help.” I let out flatly with zero emotional fluctuation. Ringo turned around and walked towards me with a bright smile on her face.
“Onee-chan will always help you out brat, you just need to ask. So what’s got you in a twist? I’d expect the world was ending before you had a problem you needed help in.” She questioned as she gave me a curious look.
The woman really does have a screw loose.
Whatever. I explained the list of options we had and the buffs each I.D could enforce.
“You can fuck with time?” She asked in shock before she facepalmed.
“Never mind you pull bullshit out of your ass all the time why did I even bother asking.” She let out bitterly before rubbing her face and recovering.
Was I springing too much on her? I did not want to trouble her too much as she quickly overcame Mika as my closest confidant. Not that beating a child in that category was very hard.
“You good? Sorry to spring all of this on you but I figured it was better than hiding all of this.” I let out worriedly. Ringo waved off my worries.
“No, it’s fine. Onee-chan feels honored that you trust her so much. I’m just having my world view shattered constantly so I needed a moment to adjust. It won’t happen again, the next time you pull off some outrageous I’ll just remind myself that you are something else.” She spoke out with a calm expression on her face.
I was still a bit nervous about this as she was serious as opposed to her teasing and vulgar self.
“If you say so. So do you have any suggestions? I’m leaning towards the Orc dungeon because of the dilation. I figure we could get a lot of grinding out with that.” I let out as I looked over our options again.
“Pick the Shinobi Dungeon. It will make it easier to point out threats to you if we have more relevant enemies. You also look like you would have issues with killing so we need to face human enemies to toughen you up.” Ringo explained her point of view and I hesitated.
I did not want to kill humans right now. I already felt a certain way about my first battle in this world and I did not want to revisit those feelings. On the other hand, she was right.
I needed to face these things eventually and the I.D would be the best way to handle it. The humans in them were nothing more than constructs after all.
I did run into the danger of going into a blood frenzy but Ringo was right in a way. I needed to either face this problem and get a handle on it or erase the problem that was causing it.
That option was possible but I did not want to let go of all the power I had been given. It seemed like such a shame to cut it off when I did not even try to master it.
“Was hoping that you would not pick that one but I should have expected it. You are right, I need to face these things.” I let out with a serious look on my face.
Ringo gave me a measured look before patting me on the back.
“Killing is something all Shinobi have to face. We can wish all we want that it did not have to happen but the world is cruel and it is better to kill than be killed.” Ringo gave out some advice which made me feel better.
“I get it. Better to be the perpetrator as opposed to the victim. I don’t enjoy the thought of killing but I can see the necessity. I will say that the act is probably a bit too easy for me. Due to my nature killing comes easy so I’m warning you now I might act…a bit off when I smell blood.” I explained my worries but Ringo just shrugged them off.
“Onee-chan will take you to pop your cherry don’t worry brat. Onee-chan has plenty of experience and she will show you exactly how to take this ride.” Ringo let out with a mock sultry expression.
I let out a laugh that had Ringo rolling her eyes at me. I wonder if I should break it to her that I can smell her virginity. She has been trying to sell herself as this sex demon but I knew for a fact she was all talk.
“I’m not going to puke or cower or anything. When I smell blood I’ll probably be a bit condescending and mocking with my every action. I'll look at everyone as a plaything and I’ll take joy in pushing them around if I can.” I explained the whole situation to her.
Having that sprung on her out of the blue was not a good thing. She had already had a treatment of my vampiric side but it was a rather mild thing.
Sure I poked at her weakness and showed off my knowledge but she got off pretty good in comparison to Mei. I’m pretty sure Mei has been making sure no blood gets near me to stop a repeat.
“That doesn’t sound like much of a problem. The strong can do whatever they please. If you want to treat those weaker than you as playthings do it. Onee-chan might be stronger than you but if you want to play with her Onee-chan will comply.” Ringo spoke out calmly with a teasing note at the end.
I suppose my problem does not really sound like much of a problem to her. Having that side of me helped me deal with the death I had to deal but I hated losing control of myself.
The loss of self was frightening.
“Okay, you ready Onee-chan?” I questioned with a teasing lilt in my tone. Sadly Ringo seemed to take it in stride in fact, she was putting off happy vibes right now.
“Onee-chan is always wet and willing.” Ringo let out and I felt myself twitch again. Calm down, I do not have the facilities to act on those ideas right now.
….At least the Time Dilation will help me increase my age. Holy shit Time fuckery is broken. I could push Item Empowerment even further! I really needed to push I.D Create to its limits.
God, Zeltrech why could you not also master the 5th Magic? Or did Blue only work as an attack? Fucking vague ass descriptions of their all powerful magics. The only clear ones were the Kaleidoscope and Heaven’s Feel.
I let out a sigh of disappointment and selected the Shinobi Dungeon.
The world around us faded from the misty port to a vibrant green forest. Before Ringo and I could think about this more a quest window popped in front of me.
[Quest Received: Hidden Village? More like Crater.]
The Hidden Village system has failed the Ninja world. Show the whole world that it was doomed to failure by taking care of one of them. The God of Shinobi is dead so there are only a couple ways of getting a win over him. You could crush the village system, seduce his granddaughter, or seduce his boy toy. So you can see why we picked this one for you.
Objective: Damage a village so much that the civilians start to flee.
Optional Objective #1: Blow up more than one Village. Additional rewards for each added village.
Optional Objective #2: Defeat the Kage of a village. Additional rewards for each added Kage defeat.
Rewards: A Gacha Token, +10 Skill level scroll, 5 Stat points.
Options Rewards: ?????
Failure: Hashirama can sleep knowing his lame-ass idea still stands.
[]
Well, that is certainly a bountiful reward and the failure is not even that bad. Now the real question is how the fuck am I going to handle a Kage Level Shinobi.
Papa wants the very best after all.
