Bio

Welcome to my Bio, random person. Yeah, my name is pretty redundant (Polaris - North Star, North... well north.)

Things you need to know about me?

I live in the Philippines. I'm a student and life gets a bit hectic so please understand if I suddenly become more sporadic when it comes to replies.

I'm involved in a lot of fandoms (mostly anime) and as long as it gets my interest, I'll join. My range is from free to casual [or well, as long as I can get it from the post I'm replying to]. I'm more of a fantasy kid than a slice of life but I think I can join something like that. I'm not much of a romance writer so I keep myself to PG-13 and not exceed anything else.

She had to admit. She had not been expecting to eat so fast. It was like her body was on automatic as she cut and consumed the meat. She had already eaten three by the time she thought of eating one and Erika idly wondered if this was part of the skill or if she just that hungry. But no matter how much she had eaten - and she was pretty sure that she had eaten a lot of the Kobold Lord if the fact that it seemed like vultures had already pecked the inside clean - she didn't feel like she was full. And it just clicked in her head - Gluttony, of course. Was this really some hero's ability that Kaireth had provided her or was it just some split second thought that the goddess had and said, hey it'll be interesting to give a human that, and just zapped her with this ability?

Erika hummed as there was a chime in her head and she pulled her arms back, a piece of the kobold lord meat still hanging off from her dagger as she rested her arms on her knees.

[Kobold Lord] successfully consumed! Gluttony Skill has reached Level 2!

She leaned back a bit as the voice listed off the values of her current stats and what the Kobold Lord had added. Honestly, there actually weren't a lot of numbers poured into her but she guessed that if she consumed every single kobold they had beaten up - it would amount to... something better. Erika made a cursory glance to the dead monsters and shivered to herself. Maybe it would be better if she cooked some of them but that would also take too long and who knows how fast their group had to move and-

If she was going to stick with these people, she'd have to... explain this, huh?

If there was one person who would be open to this kind of conversation about skills, it would be the archer, right? As far as she could tell, he was the only other person to wear something that was within their century - unless everyone else was just very traditional in their own rights. Maybe she could get the guy to look at her skill to give a more proper explanation than just - 'consume this monster for stats!'.

She felt a presence behind her and she bent backward to look at two knights towering over her. "Hi...?" She started unsurely as the two knights looked at her with equal amounts of shock and wonder. It took a moment to register that yes, the Kobold Lord looked half-eaten and that yes, Erika was still holding the dagger with said kobold lord's meat on it. Right. Erika looked at the piece of raw meat on her dagger and flicked it back into the nearly empty abdomen of the kobold lord. "Needed him for something?"

The seemingly younger knight was stuttering as he spoke. "Y-Yes, um, the Captain called to haul all the monsters and bodies back. F-For either burial o-or to use as material."

It was probably equated to getting loot in the game world. She was kind of disappointed to not just see random items springing up out of nowhere after defeating a boss. "Oh, sure. Feel free." Erika leaned closer to the carcass and wiped the blood off of her dagger and then sprung up to her feet. She stood to the side and the two knights looked at each other first before picking up the kobold lord and hauling it back to the circles.

Erika bounded towards the archer, giving him a small pat as she slid her dagger into its holster. "Hey, good job out there. Your arrow just blasted through that guy!" She cheered with a nod of approval. "Name's Erika Wayne by the way. How about you?" If she was going to stick around with these people, she figured she should at least be familiar with their names. Which reminded her, she needed to know others too. But that was best put off later.

"And, also, I need to talk to you about this one skill I have. I wanted to ask if you could check it out? It's the... er, Gluttony skill..."
Ahhh, time to change the skill to one-handed daggers instead of just dagger mastery yeah?
Sounds good to me
Knights: O-O

Erika with a piece of kobold lord meat hanging off of her dagger: Uh... glory be to Kaireth?
Don't worry, I'm sure Milo can catch up. And Zhao is looking for him so it's fiiineeee

Also is it safe to say Erika manages to eat enough of the Kobold Lord before the knights actually find her gorging on it?
Everyone: Being professional and actually doing something productive

Erika: ate an entire kobold lord

Dagger Mastery has reached Level 7!

Acrobatics Level 1 acquired!

Erika wasn't sure if it was the surge of buffs that the knights had given them or if it was their own capabilities or if it was both, but the kobold leader fell - the area where his heart should be was completely eradicated and the blades of both her and Zhao had been the thing that was visible in the area. It was then that Ying Yue had pointed up and she turned her sight upwards did she see the flying - falling - head of the kobold lord. She hoisted herself up and placed both feet on the back of the kobold lord's carcass, silently noting that normally she wouldn't have been able to do such a thing - and pushed herself off along with her dagger. She rolled on the ground and let out a sigh as the head landed from where she had been perching on.

Acrobatics has reached level 5!

The boss was thoroughly dead and Erika couldn't believe that they had done such a thing. It was an awkward mix of effort between all of them and their teamwork certainly could be improved upon but it was exhilarating. The power of the two women before her was overwhelming and she was staring at them with absolute wonder.

There was also the archer and the mage - speaking of which, it looked like Ying Yue had cleaved through one of the puppets and Erika was about to say something but decided to hold back.

Erika walked over to the kobold lord wondering if this world made it so that they dropped items of sorts. As she edged closer, the voice inside her head began to ring again.

Gluttony Level 1 Acquired!

She creased her eyebrows. What did it mean by Gluttony? She inched closer to the carcass, poking it and it felt like she was opening up a menu as the voice chimed in again.

Activate Gluttony skill? Consume the [Kobold Lord] to gain stats!

Erika's nose scrunched up in disgust. She had to... eat the kobold lord to get stats? That sounded absolutely horrid and she wondered what sort of luck she pulled to be in this sort of situation. Sure, she had eaten a lot of exotic stuff over her years of traveling. Her parents insisted on letting her try anything and everything. She had eaten a lot of raw food and even grubs before. It was a normal thing in the Wayne household whenever they traveled, but it just felt wrong to just... eat something that had just tried to kill everyone a few seconds before.

She twirled the dagger around her fingers and stabbed it into the carcass. She carved out a piece of its meat and looked at it with a glare and then took a bite. It was... not as bad as she originally thought but it wasn't good either. By the whoever that goddess was again, if she had to do this over and over again...

No stat ups.

"Kaireth, why did you do this to me..." She cut up another part, her back at the others so they didn't quite see what she was doing.
I'm still waiting on that gluttony power up to literally consume on the fly instead of having to do a makeshift gourmet table with only the ground, a knife and a carcass
Zhao could end the world if she wanted to and that's the tea
Team OP, the goddess didn't pull any punches for their resident warrior and mage
