5 Fae Contractor (2/2)

Already another title, thank you...World...Tree?

He thought to himself before hitting no and keeping the shown title the same.

Wait...lvl 6? Did my mana do that?

”Hey, Lu…”

Before he finished speaking Luna had flown in front of him and kissed him on the cheek and he received another message right after. Luna had taken his surprised look to have been embarrassment and was quite pleased with herself.

He was of course instead intently looking at the new message. Why would an 7-inch tall fairy make him embarrassed? He was just comfortably sitting nude in front of her in the first place, not that he noticed.

[Talent Gained: Gift of the Fae, Luna Emralira-Igna]

[Gift of the Fae, Luna Emralira-Igna: The Gift of the Fae Princess Luna Emralira-Igna. Grants 100% total increased mana regeneration.]

Compared to a potion it may not seem like too much but to Rainer, the word total was absolutely unmatched. It answered his questions about how the percentages listed stacked as well. He thought now it was likely the 200% and 100% from his class and affinity were additive. Whereas this bonus was multiplicative with all other bonuses!

He took a quick look at his new title before he stood up.

[Title: Fae Contractor: One who has entered into a rare and powerful contract with a member of the Fae. 5% experience bonus. Gives Familiar Skill: Summon]

Though the moment he stood up he noticed the mine was a lot colder than before. Looking down he now finally noticed the lack of his clothes. He looked over at Luna who was now covering her eyes and decided to appraise her dress to see if an earlier thought was correct.

[Magical Construct: An object made out of pure mana. Type: Fae Dress]

”Hey Luna, you mind making me some clothes?”

”Ah, I'm sorry Rainer but Luna can only make clothes for Luna,” she said, still hiding her face behind her hands. Though, even through her tiny hands, Rainer could see that they were slightly separated and she was clearly peeking.

Wait why are you even getting embarrassed now, you did this!

Rainer palmed his face with his left hand for a moment before he shook his head and focused on more important matters, like leaving this place.

”Luna you wouldn't happen to remember where the exit to this place is?”

”Not a clue!” she said a bit too proudly.

What is there to be so confident about?!

”How about using this ring and taking me with you?”

”I don't want to go home. If Rainer really wants to I can but I...do not want to…”

A for once serious tone coming out of Luna, who didn't even refer to herself in the third person. Rainer sighed for a moment and decided he'd keep the ring as a last resort. He didn't mind honoring one serious thing she'd said the whole time, so long as he wasn't dying or at risk.

Dropping the conversation, Rainer walked over to where he carefully set down all the notes of the Goblin.

”Can you read these Luna?”

Back to her usual self, due to seeing Rainer didn't plan on making her use the ring, she fluttered over.

”Of course Luna is special. Ah, But Rainer can too you know?”

”So I can spend even more skill points on a skill you'll make fun of me for.”

”No silly, I can share the skill since you are Luna's master now.”

Rainer recalled the skill sharing ability and he had become ecstatic at the thought of reading this mage's notes, though even a little more depressed at the wasted points.

”Hmm, done!”

Receiving no information, Rainer just managed to stop himself from speaking out before he saw the message that appeared.

[Current Shared Skill: All Language Translation]

[All Language Translation: All non-runic Languages shall be translated to the one you are most knowledgeable in.]

He had been speaking English as an afterthought but it didn't really matter to Luna at all.

”So how could you tell I was speaking the ”dumb one's” language?”

”It's the noise. Even if it comes out Fae, Luna can still understand what language it's in.”

”Alright Luna I'm going to spend some time reading over these notes, could you check the cabinets and surrounding area for any clothes I could wear? No, more importantly, shoes, I need shoes and some water.”

Seeing her look a bit uncomfortable Rainer amended what he said a bit.

”You can just look in this room if you don't find anything you just relax. Oh, you don't happen to be able to read these runes?”

”Nope, sorry Rainer,” she said, still feeling a little guilty at not wanting to leave the room.

”Hey, it's okay, here, as soon as you check the room you can lay down in my hair again,” he said, brushing his hair.

”Hehe, Luna would anyways. And when Luna is done checking Luna will make water for the weak pitiful human who needs it.”

Regaining some of her spirit, she flew away while Rainer looked down at the notes, not before being a little confused at the pitiful human part. Did she always have such a view?

Organizing the notes as best he could, right away he could tell that the Goblin himself hadn't written them. If he had, Rainer was positive he'd be dead without a chance. The notes were written in almost a teaching way, it seems this Goblin mage that was here was an inheritor or, hopefully not, but an apprentice of a seriously strong mage.

The spells were summarized and decently put together, and while he could just easily read what each one did, actually using them was a different story. But Rainer had a plan. He'd learn the easiest possible spell he could find out of all these notes. Not only would it give him more spell variety, it would give him something he could use [Sleep Learning] on without losing Exp. At least, if his prediction on the skills and spells needing to be directly related to Arcane Magic to give him Experience was correct.

The easiest spell combined with sleep learning meant that just like with [Arcane Bolt] his general control over fire should multiply.

Learning that Luna could make water, at least what he hoped was actual water and not a euphemism for something else, all he needed now were clothes and food. He had the dead Goblin mage in the hallway, though it had already been sitting out for 8 hours. It also looked a bit too human. He could survive for a while without food, he'd spare his sanity for now.

But all thoughts faded before the idea of learning a new spell. It didn't even matter to Rainer if it would be useful in the end. He wanted, no needed, to learn it. He carefully memorized the spell for lighting a flame equivalent to a match, even one of the runes he didn't understand. It wouldn't be too hard to experiment and get the missing piece working.

He moved on to memorizing some of the harder spells soon after, already decently practiced in memorization techniques, with the improved intelligence from leveling up certainly not hurting his cause.

But such happy thoughts were interrupted by a loud growling yell coming from the tunnel that had been covered with a desk.

Rainer checked his status screen for a moment before he got up and started walking over. He immediately armed 4 [Arcane Bolts] as he made his way closer.

He gently twisted the ring on his finger a few times, before he decided to call over Luna and make sure they were ready to run for it.

”Here Luna, take your ring back. If we're about to be killed you'll use the ring and take us both right? No, wait can it even take us both?”

”It can but…”

”Then it's fine, you wouldn't rather die than go back home would you?”

”No Luna wouldn't want Rainer to die…”

”Then good, take it,” Rainer said as he threw the ring to Luna and turned back towards the tunnel.

”But I would rather die...” she muttered out of earshot as she put on the now shrunken ring.

Luna flew over and hovered behind Rainer just as he spoke to her.

”So what kind of combat abilities you got?” He wasn't hoping for much. She was captured in the first place.

”Luna's Flame isn't very strong for attacking. It wasn't…”

”Yeah, it could be different now that you've changed and leveled up 4 times.”

”What! Luna leveled up! And 4 times! How can such an occurrence even be explained?” she exclaimed before her pitch slightly shifted towards the end.

”You didn't notice?” Her speech changed again...

”Luna didn't notice, didn't notice. Hehehe, Luna is so strong. Thank you, Rainer,” she said as she nestled herself into his hair.

”So you can help?” he said while becoming a bit more hopeful.

”Nope. Have fun, Rainer!” she blurted out without a bit of shame.

He was just about to swat at her before he heard a roar that was most certainly not from a goblin.

He started to gather the Arcane energy around him as it rumbled in fury coalescing within his palms. It formed two powerful [Arcane Bolts]. He grinned, readily awaiting whatever came rushing through the tunnel.
