Chapter One: The Responsibilities of a Level 8

I was on the top floor of the First Steps clan house in the clan master’s office, a space for only myself and the clan’s office workers. I had a grin on my face as I looked down at my desk. Five small human figures, each about five centimeters tall, were racing about on my desk. The figures were so intricate they looked like some real human beings had been shrunk down.

They were each dressed for a different role; there was a Magus, Paladin, Swordsman, Thief, and an Alchemist. I was using robes and armor to cover up some of their minor flaws, but I was overall quite pleased with myself.

While rubbing the warm bracelet, I made the figures tread quietly along the edge of the desk. These weren’t dolls, which have mass, but mirages produced from my new Relic, Mirage Form. The race track and small mountain on my desk were also mirages.

At first, I had struggled to get shapes and colors right, but after days of practicing, I was successfully producing fairly elaborate mirages.

It appeared the Relic was equipped with a feature to correct for user error to a small degree. However, that didn’t take away from my delight in seeing my practice produce results. It was a bit gaudy looking and I couldn’t be sure how much practical use it had, but as Relic used for fun, I could hardly ask for anything more.

I poked one of the mirages with my finger and at the same time made it move like it had fallen over. I made the other mirages act like they were protesting. Even though I was just manipulating images I felt like the leader of a pack of small elementals. I couldn’t stop grinning.

I wanted to show off to someone, but, unfortunately, I had to refrain. Being seen playing with dolls would destroy my hard-boiled image.

Into the mix, I added a dragon small enough to fit in the palm of my hand, but then I decided to not stop at just one. I added another and another and another until I had four dragons, all different colors of course. I had encountered many dragons when I used to tag along with Grieving Souls. I couldn’t be certain I had all the details down, but I was sure I had the general outline perfected.

The dragons flapped their wings and flew around my head. I concentrated and tried to make their flying look more realistic. Creating mirages was difficult, but actually moving them wasn’t too bad.

The only flaw of Mirage Form was that its range was limited to one meter and twenty centimeters.

If I could just expand that range, I could open up new possibilities for playing around. I wonder if there are versions of this Relic with wider ranges.

Because they were mirages, they were unaffected by physical barriers. I flew one through the window, and it disappeared into thin air the moment it got out of range.

“Not a very tough dragon,” I said.
