Alex Skyward

I sold two of my rings to a merchant, I was able to secure more than enough funds needed for this mission.

After eating a warm meal at the tavern, I headed to the only Smithy in the village.

I bought a normal generic singlehanded sword, a scabbard for said sword, a belt for the scabbard, a mana lamp, and a shovel.

This cost me a pretty penny but I knew that if everything went to plan It would be more than worth it.

'I should get a move on, it's almost nighttime.'

On my way towards the village exit, someone bumped into me.

"Hay, watch where you're going."

I said to the person that bumped into me before I even took a proper look at them

"Oh, I am sorry mister, did I dirty your clothes?"

Taking a proper look at this person I was able to see that he is undoubtedly Alex Skyward.

'18 years old, roughly 182 cm tall, blondish brown hair but more blonde than brown, golden eyes, sharp jawline, a good amount of muscle, and a low amount of body fat.'

'Yup, all checks out, that's gotta be him, compared to him my looks are just so so. I am 175 cm tall, my hair is black, my eye color is ocean blue, my jawline is just average, I probably have less muscle than Alex because I'm not a fan of manual labor and don't go to the gym, and lastly I'd say that we have roughly the same amount of body fat.'

"Mister, Is everything okay? Are you hurt?" Noticing that Jacob is lost in thought Alex spoke once again.

Only now that I met the main character did I come to terms with my situation.

"It's okay, I'm not hurt. Oh, and stop calling me Mister I'm only 20 years old." Jacob replied, pretending like he doesn't know who Alex is.

"Sorry Mist-, ah sorry than how should I call you? I don't think I've seen you before." Alex spoke.

"The name is Jacob Riser, just call me Jacob, and your name is?" Jacob said with an indifferent expression, trying to keep his act together.

"My name is Alex and I don't have a last name, so just call me Alex." Alex smiled and extended his hand going for a handshake.

That's right, Alex doesn't know that he is the illegitimate child of the Skyward elite family.

His father Ernest Skyward cheated on his wife with a commoner, that commoner being Alex's late mother Julia who entrusted Alex to her childhood friend's family before being executed on Ernest's order after his wife found out he cheated on her.

I accepted the handshake and said. "Um, Alex can you use mana?"

"Yes, why do you ask?" Of course, I already knew that.

"I need someone to charge this mana lamp for me, can you do that for me since I can't use mana yet," I said as I pointed to the mana lamp that was hanging from my belt.

"I can do that no problem" He charged my mana lamp for a good 30 seconds and the mana lamp started emitting a bright white light.

"It should last around 10 hours with this much mana." He said

"Thanks, you are a lifesaver."

"I should get going It's getting late, see you around Jacob."

"Yeah, see you around..." I said while trying to hide my guilt.

Thankfully he didn't say anything else and just left.

I left the village and headed north into the local forest.

Just walking around trying to avoid any wildlife It took me an hour to find the stream.

'Thank god that there's no dungeons in this forest, or monster nests for that matter.'

I found a large bush a few meters away from the stream, I took my shovel and started digging a large hole in the ground.

While I was having a hard time getting rid of a few tree roots with my sword my mana lamp stopped emitting light.

Suddenly darkness.

For the first time in my long twenty years of life did I understand the fear of darkness.

'Fuck that incompetent bastard said that it would last 10 hours. Why did I even take his word for it.'

'Is the universe protecting that bastard? Is it telling me not to kill him? Is this the infamous plot armor that I've heard oh so much about?'

'I ain't giving up, his plot armor can go fuck itself because I have technology' I thought as I took my phone out of my pocket and turned the flashlight on.

After I finished digging out Alex's grave, nature called so I left post for a few minutes.

When I returned I found out that a white rabbit had fallen in the hole and was stuck there.

'Would you look at that, a perfect chance to test my skill'

As I climbed down the hole I saw the frightened white rabbit trying its hardest to escape.

I unsheathed my sword and slashed at the cornered rabbit.

It took me a few good slashes to kill the rabbit, by the time it was dead its body was let's just say not in a good condition. If I was a better swordsman I would have been able to kill it painlessly.

[ Master can now Morph into a White Rabbit ]

I climbed out of the hole and checked the time on my phone.

3:13 AM

'I still got at least two hours until Alex gets here, so let's experiment with this skill'

Consciously I imagined transforming into the rabbit I killed and so I did, in a matter of a few seconds, I shrank down in size, my face shape changed, my ears got longer, my arms became another pair of legs, fur started growing all over my body, and lastly my ocean blue eyes changed color to brown.

I fully morphed into the white rabbit.

But more than that I was interested in the fact that the items and clothes I had on me disappeared.

I undid the morph and as I did the items I had on me, returned to my person like they never left.

I took off my shirt distanced myself a few meters away from it, and transformed back into the rabbit, this time the shirt didn't disappear, instead it stayed there.

'Wait do the items I have on my person somehow get preserved, wait let's try the same when I'm in my rabbit form.'

I bit into a stick, then transformed back, and just like I thought the stick I had in my mouth disappeared and my clothes and Items appeared.

'This skill is insane. Every form has a personal Inventory.'

[ Master's understanding of the Skill Morph has increased ]

[ The information provided by the System for the Skill Morph has been updated, Master is advised to look at the new information ]

[ Morph

Upon killing a person or animal, you can transform into that exact person or animal.

When transformed into a person or animal you have unrestricted access to their racial traits and personal talents.

Items you have on your person while transforming are preserved and can be accessed once again by transforming back to the form with said Items. Items that are preserved don't age. ]
