No POV

Khiry(Blake): Um excuse me, but who are you?

The White-haired woman then bows to them, then raises her head to see the group.

White hair woman: Nice to meet you......Master.

Mordred, Astolfo, & Atalanta then turn to look at Khiry(Blake), who then look at them.

Khiry(Blake): Don't look at me like that. I don't know her.

White hair woman: Of course you do. After all... you did name me.

Khiry(Blake): Named...you...? Blaze...?

The white hair woman then nodded once, confirming that it is Blaze, in her new human form. The group was shocked & amazed that she can do that.

Astolfo: You look... cute!

Atalanta: I'm amazed. How do you transform yourself into a human?

Blaze: I... do not know-how. I do remember last night that I did eat the rabbit pot pies, then I fell asleep. This morning, I woke up, looking like this.

Astolfo then takes her cloak off & then, gives it to Blaze to wear as Khiry(Blake) then thinks about it until he then looks at his system, then clicks Blaze's abilities.

Khiry(Blake): Let's see: "Ash Resurrection," Holy Fire Manipulation," "Fire Mimicry," "Matter Transmutation..."

Mordred: Matter Transmutation...?

Khiry(Blake): Basically, it can meld or reshape anything to a varying degree, like turning a fork into a pair of chopsticks.

Astolfo: Really? Does it mean that she can turn herself into a human?

Khiry(Blake): No. The system limited that since she can not work on a living thing, included her.

Khiry(Blake) then see something that grabbed his(her) attention. "???" are glowing as he then clicked on it, it causes him(her) to go wide-eyed. Atalanta then sees his(her) expression.

Atalanta: What's wrong?

Khiry(Blake): Nigh-Omnipotence.

Mordred & Astolfo then looked at Khiry(Blake) with wide eyes.

Astolfo: Khiry...

Mordred: Is that even possible for a phoenix?

Khiry(Blake): In some cases, yes. I guess Blaze is in some cases. She is now a type 2 Nigh-Omnipotent being. 

Type 2: The users who become nearly all-powerful and virtually invincible by transcending themselves into a higher state of power become the most powerful being in existence capable of doing almost anything but can be limited to a higher being (Commonly a Supreme Being) as they can be defeated by that being.

Khiry(Blake)(Mind): Wow. I can't believe that I am raising a divine bird into nearly all-power.

Khiry(Blake) then sees a bar under Nigh-Omnipotence: Type 2.

Khiry(Blake): Well, the good news is that she doesn't have it yet. She has to grow into it before. Blaze, when you learn the specific example of your Nigh-Omnipotence abilities, tell me.

Blaze: Like Life Creation?

Khiry(Blake): Yes. 

Blaze: I will, Master.

Khiry(Blake): Now, we just need to get you some clothes. 

Blaze: Where?

Khiry(Blake): The tailor in Melromarc.

Mordred: About that, Khiry... She doesn't have any magical thread.

Khiry(Blake): What?

Mordred: You, Rider, & I used the last of it.

Khiry(Blake) then thinks of an idea.

Khiry(Blake): Melromarc should have a magic shop. Maybe the owner can tell us how to obtain a magical thread for Blaze.

Atalanta: That person should still be there.

Khiry(Blake): Alright, then. Let's go over there.

The group then made it to the magic shop, only to see the magic show owner & Naofumi walking together.

Khiry(Blake): Naofumi...?

Khiry(Blake) then jogged to them as the others followed them. Naofumi heard footsteps approaching as he & the magic shop owner then turn to the group.

Magic Shop Owner: Oh, hello, dearies.

Khiry(Blake): Excuse ma'am, but is there a way to make a magical thread?

Magic Shop Owner: Yes, there is. Thanks to the Shield Hero, he found the locations to the gemstones that make the Magical thread.

Khiry(Blake): Nice.

As the whole group then meets up with Raphtalia & Filo, who is in her human form. Filo then ran up to Blaze as she is happy to see her.

((Note: For the sake of this book, I will post a picture of Filo with clothes on.))

Filo: Hi, Blaze.

Blaze: Morning, Filo.

Naofumi/Khiry(Blake): That's Blaze?/Filo?

Naofumi & Khiry(Blake) then looked at each other.

Naofumi & Khiry(Blake): How am I going to explain this?

Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Blaze & Chibi Filo

Khiry(Blake) & the others are on Filo's cartridge as she, in her fiolial form, is pulling it as Naofumi told them about Filo.

Khiry(Blake): A fiolial queen?

Naofumi then nodded once.

Khiry(Blake): Crazy, yet awesome.

Naofumi: How did Blaze get that form?

Khiry(Blaze): Well... She is a type-2 Nigh-Omnipotence.

Naofumi is also shocked to hear that as he then looks back at Blaze. He then looks back at Khiry(Blaze).

Naofumi: Any abilities she already has that are unlocked?

Khiry(Blaze): Well, since she found a way for me to have regular fire & holy fire when she was on the fire crystal. Anyway, I feel like you got a grasp on mana.

Naofumi: Yeah. I helped a lot of people, including the accessory seller from a gang of bandits. The accessory seller taught me how to process precious metals, use the tools required, craft gems, & imbue them with mana. I even managed to pick up some spells. & so, I gained a new venture: craft gemstone.

Khiry(Blake)(Mind): Gemstones? Isn't it like Goldmine from Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringer?

((Note: Any MMO my oc played, I have played. Since I have played A Realm Reborn, I have not touched that game since the start of the first expansion.))

Naofumi: Then I gained an in with the traders' grapevines, where I heard rumors about the other heroes.

Khiry(Blake) then sighed out of disappointment as (s)he then his(her) head down.

Naofumi: You don't want to hear it.

Khiry(Blake) then sits back up, looking at Naofumi.

Khiry(Blake): I need to. I feel like their good deeds might cost countless lives, & they don't even know it yet.

Naofumi: I see. Motoyasu saved a famine-stricken village to the southwest by introducing a legendary crop. I bet that goddamn slut put him up to it.

Khiry(Blake) then sees a vision of a plant that looks like a massive tree, which has a giant eye looking down upon the villagers.

Khiry(Blake)(Mind): I can see visions in other forms?

Naofumi: Ren's southeast, looking for vicious monsters to slay.

Khiry(Blake): That's not too bad.

Naofumi: I even heard of a rumor that said he even took down a dragon.

Khiry(Blake) then have another vision of the reanimated corpses of a dragon emperor still possessing one of the Dragon Emperor Cores.

Naofumi: But the information regarding Itsuki, the Bow Hero, was all over the place. Some said he's training up in the mountain, & some said he went into a dungeon on a quest for treasure. 

Khiry(Blake): Anything else?

Naofumi: There were even some tall tales, like him joining another country's residence, but none of them were credible.

Khiry(Blake): It sounds like He is becoming Robin Hood.

Magic Shop Owner: I'm amazed you learned where to find that gemstone so quickly.

Naofumi: It's not all good news. It seems to be rather a dicey location.

Raphtalia: Naofumi-sama...

Everyone then looks forward to seeing the Alchemist's Cave. Filo then stop her cartridge as everyone is getting out, then entered a cave.

Magic Shop Owner: This temple was once a notoriously evil alchemist's base of operations. I never knew there was a tunnel here.

Naofumi: According to the mining chief, nobody's dared approach this place since some monsters nested here. Stay on your toes.

Khiry(Blake): Hey, look. A treasure chest up ahead.

Khiry(Blake) is right as they see an opened treasure chest, with a signed stone as the Magic Shop Owner went to it.

Raphtalia: It's empty.

Magic Shop Owner: That's ancient writing. "We pray this seed never makes it out of here. It is a twisted manifestation of our wish for nobody to starved."

Khiry(Blake): Oh shit.

Naofumi: Looks like some bandits already released it into the world, though.

Khiry(Blake)(Mind): Maybe dickface didn't realize it yet.

Filo: Master, there's a path down this way.

Filo then pointed down a path on their left side as they then walked. Blaze then went back to Filo.

Naofumi: Hey, Filo! What are you doing? Hurry up!

Filo: Oh, Master! You see...

Blaze: What is it?

Naofumi?: For crying out loud. If you won't listen to me then I don't need you anymore.

Filo then gasped.

Blaze: Do not be fooled, Filo.

Filo then looked at Blaze.

Filo: Blaze...

Blaze: Let's hurry up to the others.

Filo then nodded as they then catch up with the group as the Magic Shop Owner then sees something on the ground.

Magic Shop Owner: Stop.

Naofumi: What is that?

Magic Shop Owner: A monster footprint. It must be a rather large one.

Naofumi: But we have to keep going until we get what we're here for. Just be care--

The torch went out on its own as the purple magic was active.

Raphtalia: Naofumi-sama!

Naofumi: Stay calm! Hey, witch! What's going on?

Khiry's(Blaze's) eyes started to glow as it then disrupted the purple field before anyone is hearing fake thoughts. Under his(her) bow, his(her) cat ears heard something as (s)he grabbed the sheath, went in front of Naofumi, & knocked it back as it vanished.

Naofumi: Khiry...

Khiry(Blake): This large monster must have cast a spell to make us hear voices & words we don't want to hear. Let me take care of these little monsters.

Naofumi: Little monster? In this darkness?!

Khiry(Blake): Naofumi...

Naofumi then looks at Khiry(Blake) with (s)he then uses his(her) eyes to look at Naofumi.

Khiry(Blake): Trust me.

Khiry(Blake) then dashed in the dark as the group then heard slashes.

Magic Shop Owner: As source of thy power, I order thee. Decipher the laws of nature & restore my sight! Fast Anti-bind!

As the Magic Shop Owner cast the spell to shine the light, all the bats in the hallway are cut, either in half in pieces or beheaded. One bat still has a sickle-like weapon in its chest as the ribbon is connected and the other end is wrapped in Khiry's(Blake's) right hand. (S)He yanks it as he then changes it to katana mode. The group then runs towards him(her).

Magic Shop Owner: Are you all right?

Khiry(Blake): Yeah.

Magic Shop Owner: That was incredible at what you did.

Khiry(Blake): Thanks.

Naofumi then picks up a piece from the bats as his shield then absorbed it, gaining him a new shield: Voice Gengar Shield.

Naofumi: I don't think this will come in handy.

Naofumi then grabs his torch back up as Khiry(Blake) then looks at him.

Naofumi: Let's keep going.

Filo: You won't abandon me, right, Master?

Khiry(Blake): He won't, Filo. Don't let those hallucinations or anything tell you wrong. 

Naofumi then looks back at Khiry(Blake) as (s)he looks back at him.

Naofumi: It's nothing. Never mind.

Naofumi then heads forward as the group then continues along the path until Filo & Blaze see an enemy.

Blaze: Filo.

Filo: Something's in there.

Naofumi then sat the torch down as they see something inside the Alchemist's cave.

Magic Shop Owner: That's the gemstones.

Khiry(Blake): It's guarded.

That something is a lion with a snake for his tail as it scents them, looks at them, & hissing.

Magic Shop Owner: That's a nue. It's on the small side, but still dangerous.

Naofumi: This'll be rough. The gemstone's right there, but we can't get it.

Khiry(Blake): Our best bet is its weakness as quickly as possible.

Raphtalia: We're going!

Mordred quickly grabbed Raphtalia's arm.

Mordred: Are you crazy? We don't even know how it's fight.

Atalanta: I'll shoot it.

Atalanta then readies her bow. She then shot the arrow, but the nue heard it approach as it roars to activate a lightning shield around it, destroying the arrow.

Khiry(Blake): Hmm?

Naofumi: How did it know?

Khiry(Blake): It hears it in the wind.

Everyone then looked at Khiry(Blaze).

Khiry(Blake): it uses its senses to fight while it can't see.

Filo: It's really sensitive to sound.

Naofumi: Sound?

Naofumi then brings out Voice Gengar Shield as he then looked at Khiry(Blake).

Naofumi: Can you distract it?

Khiry(Blake) then nodded & dashes as the nue also charged toward him(her). It then tried to pounce on him(her), but (s)he uses a fire clone to dodge, causing the nue to get hurt by burning. Naofumi then put the megaphone near Filo.

Naofumi: Filo! Yell in here as loud as you can!

Filo: Okay!

Naofumi: Everyone! Cover your ears!

As everyone covered their ears, Filo yell in the megaphone, causing the nue's ears to bleed as he is blasted back to Khiry(Blake).

Naofumi: Now!

Khiry(Blake): This is as far as you go.

Khiry(Blake) sheathed her weapon & as Naofumi was about to warn him(her), (s)he launched a verticle projection as it slice through the nue, splitting it in two as the half went on both sides of Khiry(Blake). Naofumi then runs towards Khiry(Blake).

Naofumi: Are you okay?

Khiry(Blake): Yeah.

Naofumi then smiled at Khiry(Blake).

Naofumi: Although, I've never seen this character before.

Khiry(Blake): This character is from my side of the world, like Aang from Avatar.

Naofumi: & Korra. 

Khiry(Blake): Yep. I could try to talk about the web series called, "RWBY" if you have enough time.

Filo: Wow, so pretty!

Naofumi & Khiry(Blake) then looked at Filo & the Magic Shop Owner sees the gemstones crystals.

Raphtalia: It is beautiful!

Naofumi: I have enough time.

Naofumi & Khiry(Blake) then went to a gemstone as they then break a piece off for Filo & Blaze, but Khiry(Blake) breaks another chunk off for him.

Khiry(Blake): Well... where to start...?

Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Team RWBY

They then returned to Melromarc, Khiry then returned to his original self as he, Filo, & Blaze are making a magical thread as Filo is getting tired.

Filo: This is making me tired...

Magic Shop Owner: It's because you're converting your mana into the thread. Endure it for just a while longer.

Filo then whined a bit.

Magic Shop Owner: I'll give you a snack once you finish.

Filo: A yummy one? Then I'll keep going!

Khiry then laughed as he then found out that he unlocked two crafting classes under Caster form: Goldsmith & Weaver & those are the same levels as his.

((DONE! KHIRY HAS FOUND THAT HE UNLOCKED TWO MORE CRAFTING CLASSES AS WELL AS MADE A SECOND CUSTOM ASSASSIN. WHO WILL FILL TWO CUSTOM RIDERS? ALSO, HOW WILL KHIRY FIX THE HEROES PROBLEMS? UNTIL THEN, STAY SHOCKING!))
