Chapter 22: Secret project
2 years have passed.
I've spent most of my time researching my project. Carrera is taking care of the house and the demons, while I research with Piscalat assisting me.
I've kept my input over the kingdom at a minimum all this time. I've just given the king a bunch of pointers on how to improve certain things, but nothing else.
As for my research, I've sacrificed thousands of humans for it and it finally bore fruit. I have finally managed to create a human from scratch, just as I want it. I even aquired a new unique skill called Rendering.
It combined with my unique skill (Skill mananger). I can basically alter someones body, soul and spirit with it and give and take skills freely from targets. Of course it has limits, for example the targets magic defence and power. But since I'm so strong, I believe that there is maybe a handful of people in the world this wouldn't work on.
Anyway I mentioned creating a human from scratch, but that's not really accurate. What I can do is basically a transmutation of biomass/spirit. I can take a human and change it to my liking.
Oh well, that doesn't really matter. What matters is the vessel I've created to carry out my plans.
The vessel I'm speaking of is right in front of me, in the form of a beautiful girl.
It has middle back length blonde hair and bright green eyes. Her facial features are soft and feminine, while she has the same slit pupils that I have.
Her body is slender, with an hourglass figure, standing at 165 cm tall. Her assets are noticable, but not big. She has C cup breasts and a nice round, firm behind.
This is the vessel I've created for me to control and fulfill my goals. She looks nothing like me. Her mind is basically blank, like a robot. I can give commands to her through a mental link and only then will she move to execute said command. Like controlling a drone.
While I stare at the naked woman in front of me and finish perfecting her, Piscalat appeares behind me. She has been with me for the entire two years, so we became close. She also learned a massive portion of what I researched. Even though she hasn't got a skill to make it easier for her, I'm sure she could freely change humans on a whim if she wanted.
"I suppose I should congradulate you." Piscalat says, as she looks the naked blonde woman.
Without turning to look away, my hand moves towards Piscalat and grabs her breast. This action shocks her tremendously and she freezes.
"Wha..W-what..." She stutters, while I mush her generous boob like a stress ball.
"Kyaaa!" She finally awakens and slaps my hand away. With a red face, she covers her boobs and backs away. She's suprisingly shy about these things.
Meanwhile I don't even register her, as my sole focus is on the homunculous in front of me.
"Piscalat." I call out.
"Y-yes." She responds. I turn towards her.
"I'm going to practise controlling this thing. The homunculus is called Asuka, got it?" I say. Piscalat nods.
Then I proceed to make the connection and control the homunculus called Asuka.
When I make the connection, I feel strange, as I'm now controlling two bodies. One being myself and the other being Asuka.
After a few moments I, Asuka, open my eyes. I feel very disoriented, as the height and feel of the body is all out of whack. It takes me more than 20 minutes to start functioning semi normally. Meanwhile Piscalat patiently watches and waits.
This body really shouldn't be called a homunculous, as I feel like that's wrong. It's not created by me, only changed and fine tuned. I managed to make it an enlightened human, so it's strength is around B rank. I sadly couldn't make it stronger. For skills I just gave it basic resistance skills.
Though one thing needs to be cleared up. I can not only control Asuka, but also posess it. While I posess Asuka homunculus, I am still Artoria, meaning I have all of my power and skills. But when I control Asuka homunculus like a drone, then it only has the strength and skills of the homunculus itself.
I move around slowly. This is actually a miscalculation. I didn't expect it to be this hard to control. I suppose I was being an idiot, since almost everything is different in being Asuka, versus Artoria. The way I use magic, the way my body feels and weighs and moves, the way I experience the world and so on.
"P-P-Pishlata." I try to speak, but it comes out all fucked up, like a grandmother trying to breakdance.
After a few minutes, I manage to communicate my thoughts. I tell her that she's free for the day, as I need to practise controlling this thing.
I simply do excercises to get better. It's very, very different, as I actually feel hunger and thirst now. I also need to sleep.
I spend about a week adjusting to the body. By then I have reached a point where I can function like a normal human and fight properly. As expected even most of my arts are useless, as the base of magic is completely different. That's not a problem though, as I simply tweak them to work for humans.
Once I'm well and truly ready, after the excruciating week, I stop controlling it.
Then I exit my room and seek out the king. Since it's nightime, he's getting frisky with the queen. However how could I give a shit?
I put the guards outside of his door to sleep and casually walk in. The sight I see is the king fucking the queen from behind, while a maid or something sucks on the queens tits. When I see them, my expression remains as neutral as ever.
"Aaaahnn~,aaaahn~" It seems they don't realize I'm here. The queens happy noises canceled out me opening the door.
"Oi Adara I need to talk you." I suddenly break their atmosphere by speaking. By the way the kings name is Adara Eridia.
The queen looks at me with her flushed face and screams. "Kyaaa."
Adara looks shocked as well, but then quickly gets over his suprise. As the king, he has been through many, many hardships. Some woman seeing him fuck his wife doesn't even register as something to be embarassed about.
"Haah, alright. You won't mind if I continue my business while you talk, do you?" He sighs and ask.
"I don't care if you can focus." I respond. I seriously don't care. To me, they look like two primates fucking. Would you care if animals fucked in front of you? You would at most look at it with intrigue, or annoyance and then forget about it.
The king pulls the queen towards him and starts fucking her again. The only victim here is the queen, as she looks at me apprehencively. Even the maid doesn't care.
"Anyway, I need you take another wife." I state. Adara comically stops mid thrust and looks at me.
"A new wife?" He asks with a frown.
"Umu. It's nothing big. I just need you to marry her and sire a couple of children, that's it." I casually explain.
"Why a new wife though?" He asks. Sounds like he's tired of this already as he looks at his queen.
"Think of as two families uniting. After all, the girl is connected to me." I say, then start walking towards the door.
"Anyway her name is Asuka and she has blonde hair and green eyes. I'll send her to you soon, so recieve her well." I speak and leave the room.
After informing Adara, I return to my room and start controlling the homunculus again. As Asuka now, I start training. I've managed to learn to control this body naturally in a week, but I'm far away from reaching peak performance.
Actually I don't need to train with this body, since it won't further my goals. But I can't help myself. It's a completely different experience being a human. Even the food tastes different.
As great as it is, my Asuka body has defects as well. For example one is shelf life. As it's an unnatural body, it can only live for so long.
When the next day arrives, I head to meet the king once more.
