She Loads all-seeing eye and finds how the Lion had used his gift ' So it gives out weaker gifts . But from my experience with these three , clearly these gifts can grow '
She wonders if this gift-distributing ability has some sort of benefit to the holder because usually it does ' Well , the Lion does have a notebook to explain ' she stops the Loading or else she might get herself in danger like last time .
"Here you go" the three delivered Dennis a notebook that records all of the Lion's thoughts about their gift ' Good work , relax for now . The organizers are toughening up security , so we don't have to be that on guard now '
Dennis reads the notebook and finds a lot about the gift "My gift grants others a tattoo which signifies the ability they get . At first , it was random , but I found the factors influencing it"
' I'm so glad they are not a baboon in understanding their gift ' "I can give my gift different forms that I like , from simple tattoos to physical objects and somewhat living beings"
There was a long list of people he had used the gift on , but it seems like most of his uses required ownership of slaves to grant the gift to because it was easier to control them that way .
' The mark is probably one of them ' as one of the gifts given out is servitude ' I guess there is no law that says the gift has to be beneficial . I'm sure if a gift goes to a suicidal person , they would just die because that's what they want '
Dennis felt her arrows reach into the gift and she looked into what the guy had wished for ' In the end , this gift is basically just another form of Arrow . But since it can grow , then maybe Arrow should take that ability '
She loads All-seeing eye and observes Arrow absorbing the Lion's gift ' I'm so glad for today's terrorist attack . Although what's after is going to be hella awkward '
There was a choice of just slouching on a chair at the side while eating and going back out for a refill , but her mom would drag her around and send Lute and the others to force her to socialise .
" Mom might make you drag me to socialize " " Yep " Lute said excited and Dennis replied with " Meaning I will get all the attention and whenever you try to get in , they will politely say "Right" in an avoidant manner "
Lute froze and thought of it playing out exactly like that " I'll just quietly go somewhere then " " And then when the conversation moves to " " I know what you are going to say already . But it doesn't hurt to try , you know ? " " Okay , go ahead and try "
' Mom forbids me from Saving attention , but it's a good thing Shrub intervened with the organizers . Although with an accident like this the slave world might want to give compensation but not a lot would like their main products ' Dennis recalls what the organizers were doing to make reparations for the security .
First , they decided they were gonna have to trust people to just follow the rules now , while giving out some tattoos to those they don't trust very much . Their culture has always been about their rule magic that helps legalize slavery by putting rules on their masters as well , which extended to everyone too .
' There must've been a lot of work to get to this level of order ' Dennis looks at the empty hall ' But I'm so glad that Shrub helped me stay inside so I can keep eating . Although I guess all of the others are complaining because their contacts can't get them in quicker than Shrub can . Even though it has nothing to do with Shrub . '
Dennis wondered when Cornish would confiscate the terrorist because a lot had to be handled between the terrorist attack and the handling of guests who no longer trust the tattoo they were given , which meant to make sure no one threatens with physical force or use magic to manipulate others .
' It's like that court session when they argued about what is considered magic to manipulate others ' Famadi got through with his connections and wore a tattoo saying he doesn't mind .
" You were quite amazing Dennis " Famadi said " I know , you don't mind that tattoo ? " " Not at all , I believe a lot should have something to remind them of their place . kinda like what you said "
" I was just taunting them because I didn't like the way they were wasting my time " " Your words are harsher coming from someone in a peaceful world . "
" I do get that a lot " Dennis looked at Willow , who continued to stay asleep " How long is she going to sleep ? " Lute asked and Dennis said " A while , she is very strong , which is why they needed her to be asleep "
" But that creepy friend of yours wasn't put to sleep " Lute whispered " He can hear you " Dennis said " But I do want to know why I wasn't , is she that much of a threat ? " Famadi asked to assess .
" Yes , but the reason you weren't put to sleep was cause your methods of attacking are all direct and usually fatal . Willow , on the other hand , is a bit lighter and her attacks are very indirect , which is the flaw of this no-harm rule on these marks . "
" So that's why you were able to attack them ? " Lute asked " Is it not obvious enough ? " Famadi asked " You are so much more sociable than this girl over here , despite being an assassin " Lute said " Because I'm also the family head , but does that mean that her position causes her to not socialise "
" I just don't socialise as personal friends , since the program I'm officially taking in my world is all about learning the history and culture , which means my career options usually involve handling good relations with the public . But it's not like I plan to narrow my career options down like that "
Willow woke up , wondering why she was asleep and so well rested " What happened " " Terrorist attack " Willow was surprised and Dennis Loaded all the footage into her phone .
Dennis Saves time for herself while also Saving her plate of food ' Wow , she sure is effective ' Willow watched the footage and the people started entering the venue again after registration begins . Only when everyone was inside did Dennis stop Saving her time ' This is as disorienting as I remember '
Dennis looked at the crowd of people around her and blinked , noticing some reaction from those who were watching from afar " You are very curious to freeze yourself in time " Famadi said .
She looked around to only see Famadi beside her , the furniture Yeld made and the table she placed her plate " Why'd you stick around ? Planning to socialize with me ? "
" Why wouldn't I ? You are a valued service provider for my family . It's a bit disappointing that you don't seem interested in the prospect of marriage " " Just don't feel like marriage "
' I already skipped that and had kids . I even had it so much earlier than the age of marriage ' she grumbled and looked at the eldritch presence that was present in so many people in here .
That presence seems to dwell more on those that feel like they shouldn't exist , the robots with the uploaded minds from living beings , the strange creatures from that high magic world who somehow move on their own and several vis Beast holding long discussions .
" Are you perhaps paranoid of these people ? " " Sorta , my studies have shown me several ways you can offend people . Especially the people of the high magic world , who know how many I have offended for not letting them die in battle " Dennis complained .
" Perhaps you care too much about what people are thinking " " Oh no , I don't care if I offend people , I still haven't publicly taken back my words about bottom-feeders . People who think that's the real personality are simple-minded people I don't want to be with and those who see through it are the ones I prefer , people who think thoroughly "
Famadi was surprised by Dennis's hostile filter " That is quite a risky act , it would be damaging to most of your social profile " " You kill people for a living , do you really have the right to say that ? "
He chuckled and admitted " You're quite right , although thanks to your offers , a lot of groups in my world are aiming for you " he reached inside his pocket and gave Dennis a storage cube .
" Here you go " Dennis Saves it and the arrows take all the contents , giving her access to more superpowers ' It's low quality , I guess I'll really have to get it from the source '
Dennis checks her first superpower and thinks of converting it back to the pure energy . She recalls the memories of walking through the field and how the superpowers were interconnected ' Starting with enhanced regeneration '
The Arrow stars branching out of the center out to different buffs like healing enhancement to repair a limb quicker and regenerating enough that you resurrect from a single microorganism .
' Now for connecting to the clone ' an Arrow branched out from the brain Arrow , moving to enhanced thinking , slowly to telepathy and shared sense ' Now the pipes are connected to the lake '
The superpower was drained slowly because only two Arrows connected to it and Dennis no longer feels the ability to clone herself . She was excited to study this , but the draining of the superpower was slow and then Deks asked .
"Convert skill ?" Dennis could already tell how many opportunities she actually has for the skill arrow to be used , but ' No , just relax right now ' Dennis told Deks and thought to herself ' Is this what mom felt about me when I was in a rush to work and study ? '
She had a few thoughts and put them aside ' For now , let's relax ' Dennis thought of how to talk to people and got up " You planning to enjoy the banquet ? " " Why wouldn't I ? Mom would be mad at me if I didn't talk to some people , so I plan to do so even if it will end with her introducing me around parents "
Dennis first locates the people who were paying attention to her and heads out . Famadi watches from afar but moves his attention to socialise with others for business reasons .
Dennis walked around as she caught the attention of more people ' but how do I go about this ? Right now , everyone seems to avoid me thanks to that attack . '
Dennis walks to a server wearing a familiar tattoo that records their service . She takes a glass of color-changing juice while observing the surroundings ' Or I can sit around and wait for people to initiate . '
She heads to a live cooking showcase and when she sat down , everyone on the counter left , leaving the chef trembling in front of her " Give me the fried rice " " Y-yes ma'am "
The Orc got to work and started cooking while Dennis drank the juice and teleported more drinks while sending the glass back to the servers ' There is nothing to talk about , but at least I get to try different things '
Dennis starts giving more orders from the Orc , taking up the entire counter , while a cyborg came " Any reason you came to bother me cyborg ? " " Hmm , you noticed ? "
" Everyone avoids me and you voluntarily walked to my place " Dennis mentioned and received her fried rice " Then , I'll get straight to the point . We would like your hand in marriage "
" Rejected " the cyborg was surprised and scrolled through the different ways to respond " If it's about benefits , we can always supply you with more nanomachines but the upper limit is " Dennis interrupted showing her stance .
" I just don't feel interested in marriage , that's all . I know you want the headstart so that your or our kids can get a headstart , but I already have a website that is being made to extend my gift's ability . Marriage is a very big part of my life and I don't intend to waste it for benefit . Do I make myself clear "
The Cyborg was surprised by Dennis's words " I will tell those with similar minds " Dennis summoned a low-level skill " Take this for your troubles " Deks complains to Dennis about giving away many skill cards and Saver too .
' I guess I shouldn't take them for granted , but it's not like we don't have duplicates everywhere because of your access to my giftspace ' Yeld also showed some protest and requested access to Arrow .
' You three just want the Arrow , huh ' Dennis thought about how they could technically use it ' Deks probably wanted it to convert skills to skill points to create more skills and Yeld probably wanted to use it to make stuff .
' But Yeld , you can already convert food back , why do you want to access ' "Improvement" Yeld wrote ' I am starting to act like mom ' Dennis thought of how her mother had acted and said .
' Yeld , you can have access to it . As for you Deks , wait for your turn with the Arrows . And Saver , I already got more people to help with the website ' " Hello " Dennis looked at the person beside her and Deks told her all about them .
" Call me Merger , Saver " Saver immediately wondered if he knew about them until Dennis replied " How about Loading as the nickname instead " " Wow , I heard that you catch on really quick , but you actually do "
They reached out and shook Dennis's hand " I want to offer deals . I heard you bought a lot of skill cards , so I'm wondering if you would like me to merge them for a new card "
" Why would I want that ? " " Because my gift allows me to add value to certain things , for example " he shows his gift by grabbing some ingredients from the chef and merging them together .
" It has all the nutrients of ten cabbage leaves " " Does it work on living things " he froze , while thinking about the implications of merging living beings " Of course , but I try not to do it on things with higher intelligence . I own a farm and I'm wondering if you would like to invest in my business . You can then let me merge any skill cards for you "
The three started agreeing to the offer for Dennis , but she stopped them " It's tempting , but no . Your ability is great and all , but you should find other uses for it . For example , my Save and Load can be used to store things and Load things as long as I use my imagination properly . "
Dennis eats the cabbage leaf and talks to Merger with more interest in his ability " Since your ability can merge things , like the cabbage's nutrients , you might merge other things . "
She opens her phone and searches for a game " Think of it like this " she swipes the icon of water and water together forming another body of water , duplicates it and finally forms an ocean .
" You know an ocean has life right ? " Merger nodded and Dennis told them " That unfiltered water also has life , but for some reason , your cabbage , despite having some water , came out with as much water on the surface as one cabbage . "
" Uhm Loading , why are you asking me about that ? " ' I want to get rid of that eldritch presence on you . Clearly , it showed that you were stuck with merging blindly '
" Your gift can grow , I visited a girl whose gift generates one set of things that is on a table . But after I consulted with her , she began generating more things . Because of her world's teachings , her ability to use her gift is too limited , I'm especially disappointed in you "
Merger was stunned to hear Dennis's words " I've been eating a while and the reason I don't look fat or bloated is that I Save the energy my digestive system creates , so I can look slim while eating a lot . "
" Wait , there are ways to grow it without a leveling system " " Leveling system ? " " You didn't know , the Garden holder has some interface like in our games . It grows depending on how well the Holder takes care of the garden . "
Dennis knew nothing about an interface and figured those with an interface like Card world's board had close ties with higher beings , the same way as the higher beings of Trad world .
" I don't have one like that " ' Maybe because Saver is a stray , I'm also suspecting that those gifts without an interface are strays , but it could be possible that only those without a clear way of growing are strays '
" But you said you grew your gift " " Cause I interpreted different uses and supplied it with enough knowledge . You should try to do the same , but of course , if you are lazy , I can Load you some " Dennis said and procured a copy of her studies on microbiology .
" Want some ? If you do , can you lend me some uses of your ability " Merger was surprised to see the card labeled Microbiology and thought about it " Alright , I'll lend you some use of it " Dennis smiled and Saved some Merge uses as Saver and Deks looked at it with excitement .
Dennis gives the card to Merger " Pleasure doing business with you " Saver and Deks were very excited with the numerous merge uses that they have and Dennis ate while Merger ate beside her , inviting another chef to come cook " Goodnees , I've abused my Gift , but for some reason you're still ahead in the amount of plates "
" Oh , I'm sorry , I didn't know we were competing . I would've held back " " Are you talking about that slowpoke effect you use ? " Dennis nodded and Merger asked curiously .
" How do you make that work ? " " It's just the reverse of Loading time . When I Load any Saved time , I speed up so by the logic if I can speed up time with Load I can slow down time with Save "
Merger was surprised to hear that sort of application " then by the logic , wouldn't I be able to use my gift for the opposite ? " " I don't know , it's not my gift "
" Then would you like to find creative uses for other gifts ? " Dennis thought about the benefits and nodded " Great , I'll have you added to our group chat " she got invited to the Gifts groupchat and sets her nickname as Loading .
Dennis looks at a few recent active members and Merger sent "come here at live cooking counter 5" a few gift holders got there quickly " Hey Loading " a few said , while a few were surprised to see Dennis's metal armour .
" Hello " Dennis looks at all of their gifts and they introduced themselves " It's surprising to see someone who has grown their skill without an interface " " You just don't have enough imagination to make it stretch its use . Let's start with the basic introductions so I can get to thinking " Dennis replied .
Dennis predicts the Saved gift uses as each Holder introduces themselves " I'm quite glad you let me join . Perhaps you can invite the gift holder , Mia ? She's from the world of the Garden holder , but she doesn't have an interface "
' If my guess is right , then that makes her gift a stray because there is no interface , but if that is the case , then that means that even those close to the world's higher being don't receive as much attention as the gift holders that aren't a stray . ' " I'll go look for her then " Merger volunteered " Here's a photo "
As soon as Merger leaves , Dennis begins consulting about each gift " So Console's gift controls a character depending on which game you use it " " That's right , when I was playing , they were able to jump out of a game for me to control "
Dennis shows her phone with another kind of game " Why not use another game instead and instead of just thinking within your console try other console types like touchscreen . If that doesn't work , try to figure out how you can control the character , think coding . In addition , you might have to look into programming . "
Dennis sells to Console knowledge about coding while Saving gift uses from her and proceeds to the next gift " Hues , your gift is limited , but if you divide 1 by an infinite amount of times , you actually have a lot of different numbers similar to colors of the visible light spectrum . Try to research more about where colors exist . Computers can help you find specific colors , but not a lot of these colors are easy to find , so work up a different definition for those unnatural colors instead "
Dennis got a few skill cards on painting , from simple high-level painting skills up to color differentiation " I'll leave it to you to be creative with the colors and I recommend taking a hobby in art so you can define the colors' effect better "
She gets more gift duration as Saver and Deks were both excited seeing more and more gift uses come in " State , you are pretty easy , your ability to instantly turn anything to any state is useful , especially if you decide to use it more cleverly . Honey's viscosity , for example and making metal have a state similar to molten glass without the heat makes crafting so much easier that way "
Dennis suggests targets like wood which can't be molded " You might even be able to control texture if you figure it out properly . I'll give you science on physics , though I don't have it yet , so I'll contact you and have it sent when I do get it , so in the meantime , experiment with it a little beyond switching between the known states of matter "
She still Saves some duration , promising to give him the knowledge later on " Shelves , you have a different problem , you can store knowledge into the library , but in the end , your information storage is useless because it becomes difficult to access that information . So try to reformat the way you acquire information "
Dennis points out the educational model she's familiar with , which has many engaging methods of understanding , such as displaying jargon definition when clicked .
" It's also possible that your books may contain misinformation because some can be outdated , so ensure that you engage in real content or travel so that you can gather real experiences and flag certain information as false "
Just as Saver was about to save , Dennis asked " How about instead of the duration of skill , you can give me a small portion of your gift , just one Shelf will be enough " ' If this works out , I'll be able to manage my knowledge better with the Shelves for Yeld to print out books '
" Alright , but I had to grow it a lot " " Don't worry , I will compensate for that shelf " Deks voluntarily gave skill cards that would be useful for Shelves " Here information processing , organisation , categorisation are some of the skills that you can use to take control of it "
Deks gave out more skill cards " So agree to the use of my gift on you ? " Shelves agreed and Saver takes a shelf while Dennis hands out the skill cards .
" Alright , onto the next one " Pictures explains her gift and shows how far they've grown it " So this is awkward , I am not really sure about how your ability works "
Dennis looks at pictures , creating copies of information " And you can also take pictures without one ? " " Yep , I usually do this " she closes her fist and lets out her thumb and pointer fingers as a picture was snapped between the fingers .
" Think you can edit it ? " " uhm , I think I crop it " the image was cut and Dennis thought of what she needed " Okay , now fill it based on a memory " Dennis watches Pictures edit the photo and select the skill cards .
" You'll need a few skills for that , some of these aren't very clear , so how about photographic memory . But the problem is that this skill is too expensive . But it's not like you needed it "
" But all these pictures are blurry " " It is , but not the areas you pay great attention to . But if you can get your memories into a photo , you can probably do the same for others . Maybe trying to train it with someone with dementia could be useful , but how you get there isn't something I can help with . There are a lot of ways for you to use these pictures "
Dennis lists a bunch of well-known software used to edit it and even went so far as to say that if they can stretch it . They might turn the gift into a visual editing gift and upload that edited .
" That's possible ? " " There's more to a gift than what we already use it for "
