lv 1 skeleton

chapter 12

"Johra! Just as I was on my last breath I received a request"

"And... did you accept?"

"Yeah, in my mind I thought anything would be better than dying."

I nodded in agreement.

"By the way, I feel like something about me has changed, look at this."

She took a small hop and stayed in the air, hovering about one meter off the ground.

Tap
Contrary to my expectation there wasn't any loud sound despite having dropped from a relatively high height.

"This... I've changed right?"

'Maybe it's because you're now a witch.'

"A witch? Really?"

I nodded once again to confirm, but surprisingly rather than be anxious, she seemed quite pleased.

"Wow! Since I was little I would always be jealous of witches in story books, flying freely on their broomsticks. I was a mage, so I always thought I wouldn't be able to do that."

I was glad to see her face light up with a childlike delight.

"Will I be able to soar through the sky in the future?"

'I'm not certain, but I think it should be possible someday."

I opened her status window

Her ability seemed similar to a tomb rat's, maybe it was because she was still level 1 after her evolution.

'It should be possible for you if you get stronger.'

"Really? Wow ah!"

I was worried she would get hurt by practicing her hovering ability but it seemed like she would always land very softly.

'Ian, would you please come with me?'

Kueeeeeeek

The little guy behind me suddenly woke up.

"Oh my! What's that cute creature on your back?"

Ian rushed towards me as if she had heard the most lovable sound in the world. I realised that she had never met the baby dragon, as he was usually sleeping inside my closed bag.

'It's a young dragon, it spends most of its time sleeping.'

Kueeee kueee

It pokes its head out curiously, it was the first time I'd seen it show affection to someone other than me.

'This guy... It's hard to walk because he's always swaying around.'

I placed him down gently on the floor.

Kueeeeeeeeeeee

It immediately rushed towards Ian, scaring her somewhat.

"Sir... can I hold it?"

'I am worried he would bite you'

"No... he's just too cute for that!"

Indeed she was right, rather than bite it instead stuck out its large tongue and began licking her vigorously. Ian just hugged him tightly and smiled, seeming to enjoy the affection.
