I am here now, in a throne room along with many others.

  They can’t detect my teleportation!

  Now that I think about it, how do I teleport myself? I don’t know where I am going, only what I want to be near.

  A question for ter.

  Serne is standing there, waiting to get his magic aptitudes tested or something.

  I should ask him if he wants OP MC stats.

  I whisper in his ear, “It’s me Asterios. Look to your right if you want great power in magic, look left if no. I can change it ter.”

  He just continues looking forward.

  Is he ignoring me?

  Whatever, he gets what he asks for.

  I make just his legs have intense magic aptitude, now he has talented legs.

  Maybe I should have just done the left half of him?

  When they test Serne, they all seem shocked.

  Why? Can they feel the power of his legs through his hands?

  The one testing them, an elf priest in white robes, says, “His magic resistance is higher than the stone can test. His theoretical durability as well.”

  He then looks up towards the queen priestess(a seemingly human woman in white robes as well), “he might not be a hero, but he could be a great asset.”

  I suppose this might be due to the fact that I projected safe and invulnerable onto him.

  Maybe they’ll make him a spy?

  I wonder what they would do if they discovered his magic legs?

  Or what if they discovered who and what I am? Should I start a cult with Serne as my priest or something?

  It could just be for fun, not an actual religion.

  I feel like I’ve already thought of this.

  Oh, they have started bringing him into another room, along with 3 others.

  How do I keep an eye on him and start a cult at the same time?

  I could imbue an object with myself, putting a little bit of me in it.

  I might have to shave off some of my collective members, but it would be worth it.

  Perhaps this piece of bark could be a magic mirror that shows me inside.

  As I hold the piece of bark, I add a ton of different projections into it.

  This piece of bark might be the most powerful thing in this whole world.

  And I’m gonna give it to Serne for fun.

  Ooh wait, one st thing.

  I carve “Gift from the god Asterios to Serne” onto it.

  I kind of want someone to find this, it’d be fun if Serne had to hide this, but also had to use it.

  Hmm?

  What’s that?

  You want to know what other interesting things I put onto this piece of bark?

  No can do, partially because I forgot them, partially because…

  Reasons!

  I haven’t been paying attention to what just happened, only this piece of bark.

  Someone talked to Serne, and now he’s in a room.

  I project detectable to Serne onto my body, and appear in front of him.

  He appears shocked

  Wait, could he not hear me earlier?

  Oh well.

  Now time to give this baggage-Ahem, gift to Serne.
