Chapter 1: Kitsune

René POV: -

YO! How are you all? 

I am René. I was originally from the earth and got transmigrated into this world, Euthania. I don’t quite remember my death or more than half of my life what it had. I remember I was from South Asia… I guess. I remember being young, a family of four—father, mother, me and a sibling, and some more faces probably my friends or relatives. Although my memories were extremely scattered, I remember singing, I remember songs and I remember... a warm voice.

I have been able to see status screens for as long as I remember. Anything that can contain magic has a status screen. If I had to guess, it is the ‘Magic Analysis System’ mentioned in my perks. Although it does not give me descriptions of my abilities, the fact that I can get a analysis of anything or anyone is useful. 

To answer the question of my current situation— ‘René, my dear you are now 15 this year. So, please do me a favor and get off my back already. Well, thank you for your understanding, you are a good girl. City is that way. Bye-Bye.’ 

Those were the last words my mom said to me. And then-

“...I was kicked out. Literally, kicked out. I flew in the air for two whole minutes before landing in a puddle. WHO THE HECK, kicks their daughter so hard? I could have died, you wench. And I am all dirty, I STINK, you, STUPID IDIOT.” 

I clench my fists realizing that I had lost control and was screaming too loud. This is still a forest; many beasts roam here that could just swipe and kill me. 

“‘Sigh’, I’ll deal with that brute of a mother later.” 

After reincarnation, unlike, many novels I didn’t possess someone else’s body. I was born to... someone. My mother, Rina the succubus, found me on the outskirts of the forest. Taking pity on me, despite her nature of demon-kin she decided to adopt me. We lived in a small yet spacious log cabin in the forest. Growing up I learned many things from her—cooking, cleaning, magic, Illusion aspect, some combat skills, survival skills, and other important skills that a succubus can teach her daughter.  

“If I am not wrong, City of Orario must lie in this direction... I really don’t know if it’s a good decision or not.” 

Right now, I am in the Great Jura continent, purple shade forest. Purple shade because, small purple flowers that grow in this forest are rare and unique to this forest. This flower is a necessary material for high-grade mana replenisher potion. I have dozens of them in my space ring, since, I have been collecting them for past 10 years. It is because of this flower that both beasts and adventurers are abundant in the area. City of Orario has a major market for both beasts and purple shade flowers attracting many adventurers. Both adventurer and merchant guild manage the city’s day-to-day affairs. 

City of Orario is one of the few free cities all over the Euthania, that is, it doesn’t come under the reign of any empire or kingdoms. In short, Orario is the city of no-rules, where strength speaks all.

“Does she want me to be an adventurer?” 

Considering that Orario works mainly on adventurers, it should be so. Not to mention, it should give me a stable start. 

“Sigh... let’s take one step at a time.” 

Getting somewhat cleaned, I start moving towards my direction and probably my new home. 

---

“Mm... Delicious.” 

Rabbits for breakfast are both delicious and healthy. 

“I'll need to start getting ready for a fight now...” 

I can clearly smell urine on trees and claw marks are also quite evident.

I am going to enter in a territory.  

Judging by the claw marks and scent of urine, master of this territory should be some kind of leopard. They are one of the fastest hunters of Purple Shade. On a normal day, I would have avoided it, but this is not a normal day, is it? Not to mention I’ll need money for my living in a city, I also need to hone my battle skills. I don’t see a luck stat in my status. 

“Well then, time to devise a plan. And for that we need information.” 

Putting away my remaining breakfast in my space ring, I closed my eyes and brought my two palms together. 

An image of the songbird came to my mind. Two things important for magic to occur are: reason and source. 

My reason for using magic is fueled by the broad concept of Freedom. Specific reason is to spy on my opponent so, that I can gather info about its strengths and weaknesses. Lastly, my goal is to kill my opponent so that I can satiate my lust for power. 

First source of my spell will be my imagination—the twin wings of songbird, her body in between, her mesmerizing eyes, her pleasant voice, her small legs, her tail, don’t forget her beak, and finally her soft feathers.  

 

“I seek the secrets within and without, 

As I wander namelessly and yet with a determination. 

Shape my imagination as I—am your blessed. “ 

 

Opening my eyes slowly, I can’t help but smile at my spell taking form. Mana came forth from my core, which I have long formed with the help of my mom, and swirled above my palms.  

Normally, when casting a spell, about 20-30 percent of total mana to be used in spell is wasted. But thanks to mana manipulation, with some more focus I can limit the wastage to 5-10 percent. 

Swirling mana entwined together to form a small bird which let out a pleasant cry before landing on my palm. This light-yellow bird is called ‘Songbird’ and is extremely common all over Euthania. 

“Hey, little one!” although I know it is unreal, I still couldn’t help but play with it.  

‘’Shall we see, if the spell was completed or not?” saying so I closed my eyes. 

Normally I wouldn’t need to follow so many steps to create such low-level phantom. But I need to gather information about the master of this territory without entering the territory. If he is out of my league, it is better to steer clear of it. To do so, I had to form a connection with the phantom. Connection is only limited to eyes, as I can spy at its attributes using the system. It will give me quite a headache, but should be worth the effort.  

As I close my eyes, instead of darkness a tiny triangular face came in my view. The face looked very innocent and beautiful. Button nose, thin lips-small mouth all enhanced the charm of the beauty.  

But the most important, vivid and beautiful element of the face would be her eyes. The perfect violet-colored eyes that could involuntarily hold all the gazes in the world and make one want to protect and die for them. Her perfect jade like skin, silky black hairs and two wolf ears on top of her head are so enchanting, that they could arouse the cruelest of desires in the holiest of monks.  

Even René got lost in her own beauty only to come to her senses with a shudder. 

“Gosh... I really don’t know what fate will befall me if cannot use my beauty well.” 

Being a slave will be the least of her concerns if men or even women, lust after her.
