[Quest Starting…]
I waited patiently, and when the quest finally started, I couldn't hide my grin.
[Quest cards:
2x Iron Card.
1x Bronze Card
1x Silver Card.]
"Hmm.." I began to ponder what I could possibly do with these low-level cards. But before I could think of a plan, I had to ask the system first, "Will other humans see me?"
[Ah, it would seem that I had forgotten to tell you. Currently, you are in the creative state. There are 3 stages of your body: Shape-shifting, Creative, and Materialized state.
The Materialized state is your standard state, where you could be injured or even die. It's your mortal body. The shape-shifting state is a state where you can turn into a different person or a whole new living thing. Lastly, the creative mode allows you to freely roam the world without anyone seeing you. In this state, you are incredibly fast and can teleport, you also cannot die in this state. However, do remember that once you switch to another state, there will be a 1-hour cool-down before you can switch to another one.]
"I see… So I can't just switch back to creative when I'm about to die… That's good to know. From what you've said, I'm currently in this creative state, so it's best to use it now to learn where I am."
And so I flew up high.
Looking around, there was nothing but forest. But after a few minutes of going north (I was guessing), I saw some smoke a few miles away from me. I increased my speed and saw a small village.
There were about 50 houses and around 70+ people. Most of the men were hunters and craftsmen, while the women took care of the children. However, one of the men stood out.
He had black hair with eyes that looked like he could fall asleep at any moment. But what shocked me the most was the vest he was wearing.
The vest he wore was green in color and had many pockets on it. But the most striking feature of the vest was a symbol on the back. The symbol was of a red dot with black lines swirling to the center of the dot.
"That vest… So I'm in Naruto."
Although it was just a guess, I was close to 100% sure that it was the world of Naruto. The clothing, the tools, and even the way they act. They all reminded me of a childhood show I used to watch called Naruto.
It was a world full of ninjas, a dangerous world.
I opened Mobius once more and looked at the cards I was given.
"How am I gonna use these small cards to make a story?" I mumbled to myself.
As I spoke, the Mobius answered my inquiries, [Would you like to combine 2 Iron cards to create 1 Bronze card?]
I raised an eyebrow and asked, "You could do that?"
Mobius answered, [Yes. You can combine 2 of the same cards until you reach Silver. Once you have a Silver card, you would need 5 Silver cards to create a Gold card. Then you would need 5 Gold cards to create 1 Platinum card. This goes on till the Diamond card.]
I nodded and quickly ordered Mobius, "Combine 2 Iron cards. Then combine the 2 Bronze cards to make a Silver card."
[Combining…
Quest Cards:
2x Silver Cards.]
Smiling, I tapped one of the Silver cards, and a new screen popped up. The new screen was a menu to create something new, to create a living thing!
Thinking of ways I could impact the village, I quickly made up my mind. I quickly made the features of the new avatar.
The new avatar was that of an old woman, around the age of 70-75. She had white hair and deep blue eyes. What set her apart from everyone was the fact that she had wounds all over her body. Her left arm was bleeding with a massive claw mark, and on her back was another claw mark, but deeper and more visible.
"Summon her," I commanded.
[Summoning…]
Once the summoning was done, I saw an aged woman struggling to breathe. She was bleeding everywhere, and she had an expression of immense pain.
"Why is she in so much pain? I thought this was just an NPC that doesn't feel pain."
The old woman just smiled at me while the system answered me, [Although they are just avatars, each avatar can have their personality based on your will. However, you didn't give her any, so it was automatically added.
It is best if you treat her as if she were a real person, because in truth, she is. They are loyal to you, and if you wish, you can enter all your avatars and become them. You'll be able to feel their pain, their happiness, and even their experience.
And unlike going from creative to your mortal body, there is no cool down for such a switch.]
"Is that so…" I looked at the old woman and quickly bowed, "I am sorry, ma'am. Because of my stupidity, you had to suffer…"
The old woman smiled and said, "It's fine, young man…"
I looked at her and thought to myself, 'She can see me?'
Mobius quickly responded even though I didn't speak out loud, [Yes, all your summon knows of your existence and mine too. But that's only till the mission starts. All their memory of you or me will disappear once the story has been scanned. Only the memories you wish them to have will remain.]
After Mobius finished explaining, a new window popped up above the old woman.
