“Do you ever take form as a human?”
I ask my master. Just as a matter of curiosity. Well, I don’t really think he is used to doing that. Then if so, my master is actually a human–
[I did do that in the past.]
Huh? W–wait, could it be…
“Uhh…Master. Then are you actually a human…?”
[What are you talking about? Can’t you see it clearly? I’m just a mere stone. But, ahem… I once had a magnificent body in the past. Don’t look down on my present self!]
“.............” I look at my master, with such distrustful eyes.
[What? Does it sounds unbelievable to you?]
My master sounds offended. I probably should stop doing that.
“Then, why am I turning into a stone? I thought humans here can change form as well.’
[When I brought you here, I also give you some of my power into your body.]
Give me some power in my body? Wait, what? I have been with this stone for a few months, how did I never know this? Then, could this be–?
“Magic power!”
Sorry, Master. I really can't hide my excitement in this one. The usual power fantasy trope sounds too close to reality–
[Oh, magic. it‘s something inherent. I doubt you could do that]
Way to spoil the joy, my stone master.
I suddenly feel my whole body void of energy all of sudden. Probably the effect of not eating for three days starts to kick in. Time to hunt some food.
[Huh, gone already?]
My master stops me as I start to walk out of the cave.
“Quiet sad but a human like me needs to eat, Master.”
I’m totally losing my interest after learning that I couldn’t use magic. Hah… There is still nothing interesting after being transmigrated here.
[Sure, don’t forget your third training. You’ll have to go to the nearest town for that.]
I turn my body quickly.
“Huh? I can do that already?!”
Suddenly my hunger left my body. Just where is this surge of energy comes from? I don’t care. The town… I can finally see what this world actually looks like!
[I need you to familiarise yourself with this world. This world isn’t all about magic you know. There are whole other things to be excited about.]
“Oh, really?”
What are these other things to be excited about? Uhh… knights, priestesses, elves, centaurs, orcs, goblins….
Hm? What a minute.
“ Master. I won’t get killed if I go there, right?”
[I can’t be sure about that.]
Oh, damn.
