“Hey mom, congratulations on reaching level 5! You really made the flowers weirder again, hehe.”

“Thanks Aly. And really? You say that only now after I finished the floor?”

“Yeah, I just couldn’t find a good moment to barch in. So, when do you want to try to create your Avatar?”

“You only wanted to know that, didn’t you? I want to change my entrance options first and then we can try to create a materialization spell for real.”

“Okaay. Hurry up, I can’t wait any longer!”

 

Alyra was a bit more excited than Argul. He already knew how it was to have a body and didn’t feel the need to rush things. Still just for Alyra he tried to do what he wanted to do a bit faster.

 

On his first floor there would be one entrance to the next floor for every 50km of radius. They would stay in the range of their area, but still relocate to a random location everytime Argul’s strength increased. There would still only be one portal in the middle of the floor. The outermost entrance of one floor would always go to the portal of the next floor, while the others would lead to random locations on the next floor.

 

His floors restructured themself a bit and new entrances started to be carved out of the earth. Argul changed his view to the first floor and really looked at it for the first time in a while. It was really beautiful and things bloomed everywhere. Negators flew through the air and you could see a slime springing now and then.

 

“I’m ready Aly.”

“Yes! Remember, no opening your eyes until I say so!”

“Okay okay, no opening my eyes until you say so.”

“Now go for it!”

 

Alyra’s excitement was somewhat contagious and Algur got a bit excited himself. He had no idea what his body would look like, but it was the safest method they had come up with.

 

Algur had to push all of his mana into an area in a single moment and with the intent of it representing himself. He also needed to leave a connection between his core and the point where he pushed his mana. This connection had nearly no cost, but it would be extremely hard to do all these things simultaneously. That had mostly been the things he had trained between creating his floors and he felt ready.

 

Algur succeeded on the first try and his vision went black. He could feel that his body was not humanoid, as he stood with four limbs on the ground. He would need to create a similar spell for a humanoid form, which would be a lot easier as he now roughly knew what to do.

 

“You can open your eyes.” A sweet female voice said. It came from somewhere in front of him.

“Huh?” Argul asked, surprised. His voice was not male and not how he remembered his voice. It was higher pitched, more feminine and he really liked it, but it was weird not to hear the voice you expect coming out of your mouth, which felt weird too.

 

Argul opened his eyes and laid them on what was standing a few meters in front of him. A white fox with three tails and really long upright standing ears stood there. It had an interesting red pattern in its fur on its face and it was the source of the first voice. Connection made, Algur realized that Alyra was standing in front of him and she was a really beautiful fox creature.

 

Algur looked around and noticed something weird. By what he could see Alyra was about two meters large and only half the size of himself.

“Holy shit, I’m huge!” Argul exclaimed and was about to look at himself.

“Ah! No looking at yourself! Let me describe you! Also what do I look like?”

Alyra asked, her three tails wagging in excitement.

Argul thought for a few seconds before answering, only barely managing not to look at himself. He was so damn curious!

“Right, you look somewhat like a fox, but the most beautiful one I have ever seen. You are about two meters large and have mostly white fur, the red mysterious looking pattern in your face being the exception. You have long upright standing ears and three, your excitement betraying, fluffy tails. I really want to hug you because damn!” Argul explained.

 

During his description Alyra’s tails had started to wag faster and faster, especially at the last sentence. She was really happy, as her mother found her beautiful and wanted to hug her and they looked like two family members going by Argul’s description.

 

“So, what do I look like?”

Argul asked with his angelic voice. He could melt hearing it and wasn’t really sure for how long he would manage to address himself as male. Algur felt his own tails wagging, but he definitely had more than three.

“You look like the most beautiful and best mother a daughter could ask for!” 

Argul felt heat rising in his face, he was not good with compliments.

“Your voice is the most beautiful you and I have ever heard. Going by your description you really look like my mother. You have silver fur and 7 tails, but you don’t have any patterns and your ears are super cute and I want to touch them!!”

Now knowing he had fur, Argul was sure the fur in his face was red by the end. His tails were wagging really hard and honestly he was just super happy to see Alyra right now being exactly as happy as him.  

 

Alyra couldn’t take it anymore and tackled Argul with a jump. They took a bit longer than Argul had expected to touch the ground, but that didn’t matter right now anyways.

 

Argul, laying on his side with a happy Alyra on top of him snuggling into his fur, tried to move his body a bit. He had no idea how to move around in this body and it took him a minute to snuggle his own large face into Alyra’s side, which made her giggle happily. 

 

They had both really wanted to have contact with the other, be it curiosity for Argul or just the want to hug her mother for Alyra. A large silver fox laid on the first floor for a long time cuddling with her in comparison smaller daughter. All of the animals on the floor made sure not to get near the two fearsome large and beautiful predators.

 

Alyra stood up and climbed down the side of her mother and looked at Argul as if she expected something of him. Argul could only sigh and try to stand up, only to immediately flop down, because he had a lot more power than he had expected to have. Stats right, they still existed. Alyra had to laugh so hard that she fell over herself, which in turn made Argul laugh until they both just laid there , wheezing.

 

Afterwards Alyra taught Argul how to move in his new body. It took him one hour, but mostly because they had to laugh a lot about his mistakes. Once he was confident Argul took off to a run, with Alyra racing after him trying to catch his tails.

 

They had both been able to move anywhere they wanted on Argul’s floors, but now that they felt the wind, now that they could see and feel the other's presence it felt like they had attained freedom and they enjoyed every single second of him.

 

They took turns playing tail catch while racing over Argul’s first floor, terrifying all the animals on the floor. It was a really happy day for them and the worst one for every other creature on the floor, not that they cared.

 

It took until the light started to dim for Argul to lay down besides a tree, still enjoying the feeling of having a body. He wanted to have a humanoid body, but he promised himself that he would take on his real form when he was alone with Alyra and his friends, it just felt so much better in comparison.

 

Alyra snuggled against his side again and Argul, following his instincts, started to clean and smooth out the fur of her/his daughter, which made Alyra purr really loud. Once he was done Alyra did the same for him and it was time for Argul to purr contently. 

 

After calming down they both just laid there watching time fly by as they started to drift into a happy sleep.  This day had been an important one that had determined their relationship and both Alyra and Argul were extremely happy with what had happened. A lot could have gone wrong between the daughter mother pair, but they had had the best day of their lives.

 

Once his Avatar was asleep Argul noticed that he could still operate his dungeon if he wanted. Thanks to the mana AI he could also just enjoy sleeping under the sky with his daughter.

 

Argul gave up, he was a her now thanks to Alyra and there was no changing things now. She still wanted to create his humanoid option, but wanted to try doing so without creating a completely new skill. She added the intent of a humanoid body to the spell and started the formation, but disrupted it before it could finish. Argul didn’t want to wake her daughter up.
