Reborn as a Demon to Amuse the Gods! / Volume 1

Chapter 11: Prison Break!

Rin Says: YOOOOO...... sorry for the fast paced chapters, it gets shorter and more easy to keep up with.

Well thanks a lot, system. 

I decided it would be better for me to just return to my cell I shared with the little girl rather than just walk around aimlessly in the prison, though I'm sure I could make it out. 

The girl was wide awake when I entered, and simply stared down at me with wide and curious eyes.

"Welcome back.. ya know, it would be nice of you to say thank you if you could," she said, her attitude awfully bratty for someone of her age  and situation.

:Ah, didn't notice. How the hell did you even get me in here, that's thank you enough.

If you were wondering why I didn't exclaim that I knew she was also reincarnated.. well it would put me at a disadvantage. Being  mysterious to everyone would  be my best course of action instead of trusting blindly, I mean that got me here anyway.

"I found you outside my post, so I took you in. In my o- I mean my mother taught me how to take care of people. She was a cleric!"

She seems fond of her mother.. while she talked about that, I was inspecting the room for any thing she wouldn't miss much, something big enough that I could reform it into a knife. But to be fair, I could change the shape of anything.. so in theory..

I picked up the entire desk. The next second it was gone, and then the one after that it turned into two scimitars and a staff for me. Surprised the desk was big enough for that..

<You can also use MP to create objects, however if something is completely constructed out of MP it will be stronger, but also drain copious amounts of it.>


Ah that's it.. so as long as it's not completely made out of MP I can pretty much make anything, and then some. This skill could have really came in handy a while ago. 

The girl stopped talking about her mother's exploits as an adventurer and looked down at the desk turned weapons.

"I've tried to smuggle weapons in, they always catch them. Funny how you do it in your first hour here."

:Good thing you know about weapons. Here.

I threw her one of the scimitars and then kept one, and started swinging it around, though nothing happened.. so I guess I do have to work for weapon skills. I then threw her the second one and stepped out the cell.

:Mind telling me what this place is? I know your very smart, you have modern knowledge af-

SHIT, I GAVE IT AWAY!

=-=

The girl didn't seem surprised and laughed, before stepping off of the bed.

"Yeah, I have the [Appraisal] skill too, you weren't fooling anyone. I'd rather keep my identity hidden though, so on we go?"

:Yeah.. answer my question though?

She sighed, and walked out, then signaled for me to follow her down a corridor full of the zombie guards. She stuck to the wall and slid down, then jumped up at the point where it got too crowded. She surprisingly stuck to the ceiling. 

Interesting skill, glad I have it too.

New Skill Acquired: [Sticky Fingers]

Ah, that's the secret. So I'm not just wall crawling, I have to actually put muscle into it? Guess that's how basic skills are..

:Ah, so how did you become a slave?

The girl scoffed and gripped onto a vent in front of her, then swung her feet so that she could kick open the vent and swing herself into it. I could just crawl in it, thank the gods for this body!

"My mother.. she owed the church money, so in return they captured all of my siblings and family and divided her debt among us, the oldest paying the least and the youngest paying the most since we could serve it off for the longest," she explained, continuing to crawl through the "vent."

I had just realized it was more of a layer above the ceiling that allowed cold air to travel through central places of the prison like the Workshops and the offices of whatever faculty ran this place. I was assuming it was night in the prison since it seemed to be very quiet and the people running the prison were obviously out doing something.. duh.

"I've been stuck in here, not being able to find a way out.. or rather just no way to utilize it, until you show up."

:Well wait, let's slow down. Why would the Sigil put debt on a hero? Don't the Sigil like.. love heroics or something. They sure do love their humiliation.

"Well in a normal case, yeah, but the Sigil has evolved into a power hungry Totalitarian Theocratical scumbags who have forgotten most of the teachings I spent two years studying. Now you'd be lucky to find anyone ranked higher than the Soldiers actually acting like a Sigil," she spat, clearly angered by talking about the subject.

I decided to stop talking and questioning until she went and asked me a question.

"How are you speaking in my head?"

:Oh, it's just a skill called [Telepathy], you should get it sometime after this conversation or maybe the one after it.. if your skill evolution works like mine.

She nodded, then stopped, and dropped down into a room, well more of a corridor. At the end was a glowing cube, and when I stepped forward, blue lights lit up all around, and the room lengthened in size.

"You should have waited for my command, idiot," she said, then huffed and turned away from me. She peeked down to see if I was staring up with any reaction, but I was too busy using [Analyze].

Sadly, the skill wouldn't work.. So that's how we know this is a complicated problem.

The problem wasn't all that hard, just a simple puzzle that involved one block to be moved into one spot, the problem being that the puzzle contained little cages on the sidelines that any monstrosity could run out and attack us. As the platform for the puzzle lowered right to our level, I could see the girl rush out and begin pushing one of the cubes.

Suddenly, a zombie adventurer was sent out of the cage and ejected right into her, I rushed out and took the zombie off of her, then absorbed it and took all of its stats.

:Do you actually have a strategy? Or are you just gonna have me save you all the time?

I tried for a joking mood but she brushed herself off and went to push another block. Maybe she did know what she was doing. I don't know how to solve it myself, but I am good at punching things!

Another zombie dude ran out, and was by yours truly, giving her plenty of time to make progress. She had moved three cubes all by herself, meaning her stats had to be pretty high, or maybe a skill..

Then, the last block clicked into it's place, but nothing happened and a red light flashed.

"Shit.. well that seems to be the Security Measures, meaning we have a minute to escape before any sentient security comes to kill us."

Great. I've been led to my death. I have one minute.. what do I do..

I see the cubes and suddenly the greatest idea I've ever had comes up! I dash towards the cubes and touch all of them, absorbing them. With those huge cubes and those zombies..

I hold my hand out and shining light turns into grey goo, then the goo solidifies and it turns into another person, a dude this time.. sadly, he doesn't look it..

ARE YOU AMUSED YET?!

They woke up this time, with a more soft halt, not battle-crazed. Maybe the personality is randomized? Weird that I'm playing god right now.. but they can't spawn in with some friggin clothes?!

Then, they would hold out their hand, and both of my scimitars would fly towards them, and they would drowsily waddle towards me, then give me a little pat on the head.. what? Do you not see the predicament we are in?

"Heya master.. aren't you just the cutest thing in the world!"

He would pick me up and start spinning me around in the air, giving the girl a reason to laugh.

:I need you to stop playing and make sure the threats are handled!

He suddenly stopped and set me down, then gave me a little nod of approval, and went to prepare for the threats.

I then turn to the girl.. wait a sec..

:What's your name? 

"My mother named me Hie.."

Great, Hie. Good name.

:Hie, we gotta go.. like go.. go.

She nodded and we ran to the cube. I could hear the guts of multiple monsters being spilled and the boy giggling uncontrollably.

Oh shi-

:Hey, make sure to come to me whenever your done.. ah.. Fenix!

He nodded again, then went back to killing.

When we touched the cube.. (what was their problem with cubes?) we were transported into a more accommodating room. It was an office.. one of high luxuries. The windows showed blue everywhere.. wait where we in the ocean right now?

A man sat in the chair of the place and coughed into his mouth, directing their attention. He looked at them with his chest poking out and then he coughed a bit more and his skin got pale after he saw us.

"You.. you two reincarnated also.."

Wait.. how could he tell?! And another reincarnated?! Why was everyone so attracted to this prison?!
