Chapter 4: Worka Civilisation

The Paru circled around the large spaceship carefully. He activated the "Temporary Invisibility" Skill he had just obtained multiple times.

\'It uses very little Endurance Points. By using 45 out of 50 Endurance Points, I can remain invisible for about 5 minutes. Not bad at all. That probably has to do with my size, right? To those Airos, I arrived at the knees. Since I\'m smaller, making me disappear is easier...\'

Rei stared at the spaceship for a bit.

\'They\'ll need to get fuel... And probably fix the damage incurred by the crash. They\'re not leaving anytime soon. Wonder if I should look for something to beat and Devour...\'

Before the Paru could decide on what to do,

"No, please! Don\'t make us go back-"

The same red-skinned men were taken out of the spaceship. This time, with devices of which Rei could not, for the life of him, figure out the use.

\'Advanced high tech is pretty cool. No idea how it works though...\'

Women were with the men this time.

The commander remained a good distance away.

The other three women all had devices resembling headphones on their heads. One of them even had a strange set of thick glasses, the use of which was revealed rather quickly.

"Anything?" The commander asked.

"None."

"Good." The commander clapped her hands. "Get working, useless idiots!"

\'Damn... Even though she\'s a bitch, she really is super hot... System, got anything on them?\'

[They are part of the Worka Civilisation.]

[In the Worka Civilisation, females hold the large majority of the power.]

[Not only are they physically stronger than the males, but a female\'s social standing is usually higher than a male\'s.]

[Males are seen as expendable and as a commodity.]

[The Worka Civilisation has, as you can see, conquered space, to a certain degree.]

\'To a certain degree... I see. Males are seen as objects, huh? Still, it is weird...\' The Paru stared from far away. \'That commander seems to enjoy beating them around more than the other females... Anyways-\'

"F-F-Found it!" Overcome with excitement, he couldn\'t help but shout. It had only taken a couple of minutes of scanning too! "Commander, I found the exact spot where we can-"

"Then start extracting. What the fuck are you waiting for?"

\'Mm... Looks like I don\'t actually have much time. System, I assume this is...\'

[A Quest has been issued.]

\'As I thought...\'

[Quest: "Off This Planet".]

[Objective: Leave the Miro planet in the next 14 hours]

[Reward: 1 Skill Point.]

[Penalty: None.]

\'Staying stuck here would be penalty enough, huh? A Skill Point? Do you mean it\'s something that can be used to make a Skill better?\'

[Correct.]

\'Sounds awfully close to magic, don\'t you think?\'

[The Goddess of Death can, indeed, exhibit Magical Prowess.]

\'Hm. So the Goddess\' gifts are special... I can\'t say no to this, can I? In the first place...\' The Paru\'s gaze moved towards the commander\'s body. \'I was planning on going anyways.\'

...

The spaceship\'s commander knocked forcefully on the spaceship\'s exterior.

"Hurry the fuck up!" She shouted menacingly. "Hmm?" She turned to the side, for no real reason.

"What is it, commander?"

"Hm. Nothing... Come on! We don\'t have all day!"

\'Shit... That was close...\' The invisible Paru thought to himself as he stepped forward as slowly and quietly as he could. \'She could aim and kill those even though they were invisible... I suppose there\'s a bit of luck involved there, but still!\'

The Paru had waited about ten minutes before attempting to infiltrate the spaceship.

There was no doubt in Rei\'s mind that the female Worka with the strange glasses could see through the Skill\'s invisibility. He assumed it detected heat.

\'Good thing I waited for her to go circle around the spaceship... With her here, I wouldn\'t have been able to do this...\' Ren passed by the Commander.

He couldn\'t help but stop. Only for a second, to admire her side profile. From her breasts to her glutes. Simply magnificent. Simply...

The invisible Paru shook its head.

\'Alright... Only three steps left before I\'m inside... Fuck yeah.\'

The instant he got in, Rei realized just how large the spaceship truly was.

\'Are there really only seven people operating this whole thing? Damn-\'

As if the Goddess had heard his thought, his eyes found someone in the darkness. Seated on a chair, and asleep.

\'A guy is sleeping? Huh... Is he special somehow?\'

[That one is the only mechanic riding on this spaceship.]

[If anything goes badly when it comes to the spaceship, they have no choice but to rely on him.]

\'How do you know that? Are you omniscient or something?\'

[His title of mechanic is written on his blouse, though not in a language you are familiar with.]

\'Oh... That? Looks like scribbles... Anyway, need to find a safe place. I need to keep my Endurance Points high. Never know when I might need to go invisible.\'

There were many doors to choose from. Rei settled on one just far enough that it was unlikely that pushing it would wake up the sleeping mechanic.

\'Alright...\'

The Temporary Invisibility Skill was deactivated.

\'Phew... Now I\'m tired-\'

The Paru stopped moving and,

Grrrrr-

He slowly turned around, finding at his side an iron cage, in which a two-headed dog was kept.

It growled menacingly, but just before it could bark,

\'Bad dog.\'

The Paru\'s Pincers took hold of both its necks and,

Cut-

\'They might figure out that something is here now. Mmmm, that\'s annoying. But something capable of smelling me would have been worse. Even if they know that -something- is here, I\'ll be able to make some moves.\'

[You have Devoured an "Oth".]

\'Now, for this bad doggy\'s genes, I wonder if I can...\'
