Chapter 214: The Labyrinth (8)
Standing on the cloud whale and looking up at the sky, I could see the warm sunlight and clear blue sky blessing me. The weather was lovely, as if it was celebrating the fantasy adventure I would have in the future ahead of time.
Then I raised my hand and held the armor in the sunlight, and the luxurious black armour shone beautifully in the sunlight. It was like the gauntlet of the black knight, so cool!
The armor covered my skin like clothes, so it felt very stuffy, but I was willing to endure it for the romance of fantasy. In addition, this armor had a function that was different from other clothes.
Give me a massage.
When I conveyed such a will to the armor, it began to squirm as if it was giving me a massage while shouting ‘Massage!’.
I enjoyed the massage from the Black Reaper and the warm sunlight.
In the sunlight that conveyed pleasant and comfortable heat, I spent some time lying on the fluffy Cloud Whale. And before I knew it, the Cloud Whale began to circle around a place as if it was telling me that we had arrived at the destination.
When I got up and looked down, I saw the ‘Red Lightning Island’ that I had chosen as my destination. The entire island was surrounded by clouds and I couldn’t see the surface at all, but my heart was still pounding when I thought about the fantasy world inside.
In the clouds surrounding the island, ominous red lightning occasionally flashed, but it didn’t look very threatening. So, with a joyful feeling, I jumped down toward the island.
Boom-!
I fell through the red lightning that was trying to burn up anyone who tried to invade the island, and arrived at a hill covered with green grass. Then, I moved my head around to see the surroundings of the hill that stood tall above the plain.
A wide meadow with trees growing here and there.
A lush forest in the distance.
And a huge fantasy city that filled one side of my field of vision.
Since there were no tall buildings, I could see the fantasy city easily from the hill.
This is fantasy!
I looked down at the city, threw both of my hands in the air like the Mini Reaper, and cheered.
Even from afar, it felt very fantasy-like.
I checked to see if there was anything strange by comparing the outfits that the Black Reapers had transformed into with the outfits of the people wandering around the city.
But not, It’s perfect.
The armor that the Black Reapers had transformed into was not much different from the armor that the people wandering around the city wore.
That’s fortunate.
With this much, I should be able to wander around as an adventurer without feeling awkward.
While I was excited about entering the fantasy world, I realized that there was a serious problem.
Skin color!
Unfortunately, no matter how much I looked around the city, I couldn’t find anyone with the same colour of hair and skin. Even the ‘Skin Color Change’ I got from destroying the Yellow Moon wasn’t very useful in this situation.
If I changed my skin color to a human’s skin colour, my hair color would also become the same color…
Moreover, my eyes were emitting an intense yellow light!
No! My fantasy life!
I had come this far, and now I wouldn’t be able to enjoy fantasy life!
I wanted to be an adventurer, not a monster.
I already played monsters often while wandering around as Objects.
It was really a hopeless situation.
I was so devastated that I knelt down on the hill and grabbed my head.
While I was thinking like that, a simple solution suddenly came to mind.
If skin color was the problem, then, I just had to make sure no one could see my skin!
All I had to do was put on a large helmet and walk around as a Gray Reaper in perfect full armor.
AS EXPECTED! I’M SMART!
Hihihihihi!
Even though it would make the stuffy level become 10 times worse, I decided to endure it for the sake of my fantasy life.
After making the helmet and putting it on, I started filling in the other missing parts. I wore a pair of sharp swords on my waist, a stylish black cloak behind my back, And finally, I summoned the flower of a knight, a warhorse.
I felt a little bad about riding the Black Reaper, so I summoned the butler Hungry Ghost, who could shape its own body shape like making muscles and clothes. In fact, I thought I might not be able to summon it because the teleportation was blocked, but to my surprise, I was able to summon it just by overcoming a little resistance.
A neck that stretched out like a horse.
Legs that supported its torso firmly.
Saddles and equipment that were properly made according to my instructions.
The summoned butler Hungry Ghost followed my instructions properly.
However, I wasn’t very satisfied with the result.
No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t look like a horse.
No matter how I looked at it, wasn’t it closer to an alpaca than a horse?
In order to change the alpaca Hungry Ghost into a horse, I started tying it tightly with the thread made of Black Reaper.
‘If I tie it with thread and make it look like it has muscles, won’t that alpaca Hungry Ghost look a bit like a horse?’ It started with a simple thought.
After wrapping the alpaca around so tightly that it couldn’t move properly, I patted it to convey my intention.
Hey, cry like a horse.
Then the alpaca cried with a sad expression.
“Kyuhihihi.”
But it still didn’t look like a horse.
And now it wasn’t even an alpaca anymore, it had turned into a sausage tied with string.
Well, fantasy protagonists didn’t usually ride horses, so I guess i didn’t need it!
With those thoughts, I chased the useless alpaca to the Garden of the Mini Reaper.
Then, I started walking toward the fantasy city, wearing a cool armor and cape that didn’t feel out of place in the fantasy world at all.
