"What about Samael?"
"No."
"Cupcake?"
"No!"
"Thalyric? It looks cool."
"Looks like an alien’s na. Absolutely no."
"Screw that!" I fell on the bed in surrender. I was trying to give that little beast a na for half an hour.
He liked none of them. None!
"Will you stay calling spirit then? Keep thinking!" My spirit said before starting to eat a small piece of grey crystal.
Although he had a weak body, his teeth were sharp as hell! They were able to bite the hard crystal as if it was a piece of chocolate.
I bought 2 crystals for him a few minutes ago. It was better to end his hunger now. I was going to beco poor because of him!
After finishing the crystal, his body started gleaming with azure and black glows before returning to normal. But there was a small change that I noticed.
He was taller than before.
"Did you grow up?" I asked curiously, and my spirit nodded to .
"I don’t have the sa concept of aging. My age is technically the sa as you, but yes, you can call it that."
’Wait, sa age as ?’
[Just wait until I assimilate all your mories and adapt to living. I’m growing rapidly! Like a genius!]
"...."
"Don’t respond to everything I say in my mind... it’s confusing."
[Sure Daddy.]
"...."
That little bastard was definitely having fun.
"You know what, I got a na for you!!" A smirk appeared in my features. "And you can’t refuse it."
"Eeeh?!" He looked at with wide eyes. "That’s not fair! Don’t do that to ... I have rights!"
I ignored him and opened my mouth. "Your na will be Glutton. It will reflect your gluttony nature toward my money."
[What nature? I have eaten only once since my birth and that bastard calls gluttony?!]
"...That what?" I looked at Glutton with dangerous eyes.
He scratched his head. "Oh... my bad."
I let the matter go as I began to think about my next move.
’I’ll need to read a book about raising him... maybe 2 books actually. Is he considered a child or a spirit? Maybe sothing between them?’
’Then I need to think about revealing him. I can’t keep Glutton as a secret or he will make so troubles for . So I have to inform the academy as fast as possible.’
’The spirits are one of the most loving and rarest races in Eldoria. They are born from pure energy and can’t be bred. Thankfully, it wasn’t uncommon to have a spirit in the academy. Long Lei is an example himself. I won’t have any troubles as long as I don’t show Glutton’s real potential like his ability to speak as a newborn and his talents.’
’Then there is informing the people close to like Aria and Zephyr. I told them about the spirit egg when I got it, but I didn’t talk about any details. I will keep everything like that for now.’
’I trust them, but I don’t trust the people around them. Maybe a queen would try to see Zephyr’s mories and know about my spirit by coincidence. It was better to be safe than sorry in this matter.’
I nodded to myself as I opened my bracelet and sent a ssage about my spirit to a specific number. I also added my current location, so soone would co soon to confirm that.
The next mont, I put my hand on Glutton’s head and pulled him into my soul.
[Hey! I didn’t allow that! Where is my freedom!!]
He left my soul with an irritated expression, but I pulled him inside again.
’Glutton, listen. Soone will arrive soon to see you as a normal weak spirit. When I call you, you will appear as a cat and show only your storage ability and a hint of your shape-shifting, okay?’
[Why cat?]
’Because I like cats.’
"..."
Glutton fell into silence for a long mont, until suddenly, I heard his voice.
[Fine. Just rember that I’m not Selene... don’t do sothing embarrassing. Unlike her, you know that I’m a man!]
My face twitched at his words. Was he really thinking that I couldn’t control myself?
Suddenly, I froze as soone entered the room without any sound.
"Raylin Crimson... right?"
I turned around to see a masked man in black suit, holding a notebook in his hand.
"Yes, that’s ." I answered calmly as he moved closer to .
The man let out a sigh. "2 people getting spirits on the sa day. Why can’t I be that lucky." He sighed again. "Anyway, tell its abilities and how you got it. It’s for safety."
I nodded as I called: "Glutton, you can co out now."
Just then, Glutton left my soul and stood on my shoulder... but not as a cat.
My face almost twitched.
"Glutton...? It’s an interesting na for a... raven." The man said, looking at the black raven with azure eyes on my shoulder.
’Fucker! What does that an!’
[I don’t trust you! I found that you hate ravens from your mories, so I chose it!]
Ignoring the urge to curse loudly, I began to explain with a forced smile: "As you can see, Glutton can enter and leave my soul whenever he wants, he can hear my thoughts, and he has 2 interesting abilities."
I took a dagger from my ring and put it on Glutton’s beak. In an instant, the dagger disappeared.
"Is it spatial storage?"
I nodded to him with a smile.
The man chuckled. "You are really lucky, kid. One of the greatest thieves in the dwarf kingdom had sothing similar."
He cleared his throat as he wrote sothing in his notebook. "Anyway, what’s the second ability?"
’Glutton, make a small change in your body. Don’t exaggerate!’
[Yes sir!]
Glutton shifted his gaze on a nearby flying mosquito. He opened his beak, then suddenly, an inner mouth flew out of it like a rope and ate the mosquito in the middle of the air before returning.
"...."
[What? I deserve a small reward.]
"Shape-shifting?" The man asked uncertainty, and I nodded to him.
"And for how I got it, it was always with inside my core. It was a reward beside my aether core from the land of challenge. He has just hatched."
"Fine... Your academy will be inford about Glutton. Thank you for your cooperation."
Before I could say anything, the man disappeared.
[Wait, that’s all? Did he trust you just like that?] Glutton asked as he returned inside .
’Nah, he didn’t.’ I shook my head. ’It’s like why they didn’t ask about my soul-bound artifacts. I have potential to be a strong Exalted in the future. If they took so much of my freedom and secrets, I may start a rebellion later. It probably happened before.’
Unlike my past world, the money here ant nothing against literal power. Thus, being a dictator was significantly harder here.
The next mont, I took a small potion from my ring and drank it. Imdiately, all the need to sleep vanished.
[Will you start now?] Glutton asked, as if he knew what I was planning to do.
’Yes, I’ll. Prepare yourself for your first al~’
The next mont, I channeled my aether and teleported myself.
