ALL NOVEL Chapter 2: Joining up with the Loki Familia
So to recap.
Not only do I have Jugram Haschwalths' Schrift ability but my appearance also matches his now as well.
I took a moment to process this. As well as the fact I'm fifteen years old again.
'Wait. How do I know that?' I thought.
Since even though I've been de-aged no one has informed me of my approximate age.
Yet somehow I just know.
I can only conclude this is because of my reincarnation.
Well again, as far as things go it's not horrible in the slighest.
After coming to terms with things I looked at Loki and the rest.
"You ok kid?" Loki asked me. "Seems you spaced out there."
"I'm fine. Just thinking and remembering some things is all. By the way my name is Jugram Hasachwalth." I said.
I mean since I look like Jugram and have his powers I might as well take his name as well.
Besides, my original name is from my past life and this world is my future.
So I want a completely fresh start.
That's why from now on I am Jugram Haschwalth.
"Understood." Loki said.
"So Jugram, what will you do now?" Finn asked me.
"Well I originally came to Orario to join a familia." I said. "And on that note, do you guys happen to have room for one more?" I asked.
As I did so eyes is the only one who had a visible reaction to my request to join the familia.
But Finn, Riveria, and Loki all kept poker faces.
"If you say no that's not an issue for me. Once Im fully healed I'll simply take my leave." I explained.
"We're not saying no, but if we were to say yes why do you want to join our familia?" Finn asked me.
"Because I've heard that you all like to push farther than any other familia. You want to stand at the top and won't let anything stand in your way. I admire that spirit and so I want to be a part of that." I said.
Meaning every word of it.
I want to live this second life of mine to the fullest. I want to go on adventures and explore the deepest depths of the dungeon.
I also want protection given my ability and the Loki familia can provide that.
But I'll just keep that to myself.
Finn and the others continued staring at me for several seconds and I met their gazes right back.
Then everything changed when Loki spoke up.
"Alright kid,you're in." She said.
"Loki." Finn said.
"It's fine. It's fine." Loki mused. "This kid isn't lying. Besides I like his attitude. Also we've already taken him in so let's just make it official." She said.
As she did so Finn sighed but nodded.
Riveria did as well.
"Thank you all. You won't regret this." I told them.
So with that I am now officially a member of the Loki familia.
Feels good.
----------------------------
Feeling something touch my back I felt a warmth flow through my entire body.
'So this is what gaining Falna feels like?' I thought.
After another day of recovery Loki decided to bestow me with Falna, which we are doing right now.
After a moment the sensation faded.
But I know in my soul I am different than I was just a moment ago.
"Ok Jugram kins~ All done." Loki said. Having already given me a nickname. "So, did that feel as good for you as it did for me?"
"Eh, it was alright." I said. Putting a smirk on my face.
Loki can try to tease and fluster me all she wants but it won't work.
Even if I have become a teenager again with all the raging hormones to go along with it.
"Well next time I'll work to make your experience unforgettable." She whispered in my ear.
"Yeah, you do that." I said. Still not flinching from Loki's attempts to tease me.
"Tsk." She clicked her tongue.
"I heard that." I said.
But Loki ignored me.
Instead she placed a piece of paper on my back and placed my current stats on it so I could view them with my own eyes.
"Woah." Loki said in a serious manner.
Hearing this I turned around to face her instantly.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"Nothing, but Jugram don't let anyone know about your status without my express permission from this point forward. Even within the familia. Loki said, still serious.
"Yes." I said.
Once I did so Loki handed me my status sheet.
As soon as she did I looked at it to see what all the fuss was about and once I did I immediately understood Loki's sudden seriousness.
---------------
Name: Jugram Haschwalth
Level: One
Strength: I0
Endurance: I0
Dexterity: I0
Agility: I0
Magic: I0
Magic:
Quincy
Skill(s):
Schrift B
The Last Successor Of Yhwach
Reishi Conversion
Developmental Abilities:
Luck: I
----------------
As I looked at my status I am left stunned.
I expected Schrift B to be there but not everything else.
Quincy is a magic that allows one to use all the innate abilities of qunicies.
I can only assume that is reference to Quincy techniques like Blut Vene and such, but until I test it out first-hand I can't be sure.
Reishi Conversion is a skill which converts mind into Reishi and allows for its absorption and manipulation.
This skills makes perfect sense for me to have since Reishi isn't native to the Danmachi world.
Now then the last skill is something I never expected to have.
The Last Successor Of Yhwach.
This skill allows one to reach the true pinnacle of Quincy like Yhwach did. Also the users growth rate is doubled, so long as they adhere to the true path of the Quincy.
And I have no fucking idea what that even means.
True path of the Quincy? It makes no sense. It's a huge unknown, but I'll just have to figure it out like everything else.
Finally I have the developmental ability Luck, just like our future protagonist Bell Cranel.
So I get why Loki told me to keep my status to myself from now on.
If any other Gods found out about me they would do everything in their power to make me theirs.
Which is once again another reason I am glad I am now part of the Loki familia.
Because there is no doubt in my mind that things for me see going to be hectic in the future.
But that's then.
Now I'll just put one foot in front of me at a time.
Handing back my status sheet to Loki I put back on my shirt after she locked up status up.
Once she did do she left the infirmary and I went back to sleep.
My head filled with numerous thoughts about what the future holds.
