My Reincarnation As A Chicken

[Would you like to form a party with the target, Yokino?]

Ø [YES]/[NO]

'A party, huh? Like in video games? Benefits please.'

<<Notice: If you create a party with you as the party leader, you will receive 20% of the experience points your members receive. Also you can use Location Share to know where your members are and the Mana Share skill to share your mana. You will also receive portions of their rewards and experience points will be distributed amongst you with response to the most contributions>>

'Huh… that seems fair from what I can tell. Ok, I'll form a party with her.'

"Hmm? What are you talking about, chicken?"

She came to my side.

'Oh, I was just saying I'll form a party with you through the system so we get benefits from leveling up together.'

"You're weird. You say it like this is a video game or some weird web novel."

'Ah… could you perhaps, not have access to the system?'

"What are going on about?"

'Oh, that's right, I forgot that others don't have this. It's my unique skill.'

"Eh? Your unique skill? I thought yours was a body type. Lemme see, lemme see."

GULP.

'H-How did she know that? Is her unique skill one that allows her to tell the unique skills of others? Or is that just a skill she learned? Agent?'

<<Notice: It is impossible to tell the unique skills of a person through normal means>>

'Abnormal means, please?'

<<Notice: Using a high grade appraisal stone, or forcing the target to spill the secrets of their own abilities>>

'I-I see…'

"Chicken?"

'Oh, sorry. Sorry. Um… I can't show it to anyone who is not part of my familia.'

"Eh? Why not?"

'I don't know. It just says so right here.'

[Members of your Familia have access to your system]

I was certain there were those who were confused, but I told the leaders about the screen so they should have explained it to the others by now. Meaning, the others should know that they aren't supposed to spread the fact that they can't see it.

"Hmm… what are the benefits of this system?"

'Benefits? I'm not sure, but I guess I grow stronger faster than most people. I mean, I'm almost as strong as you now. A week or two and I'll be able to surpass you in stats. I guess I can see other people's abilities as well and stuff.'

She looked to be in serious thought. Groaning and moaning, twisting and turning, rolling on the ground and grunting in internal conflict, almost making me laugh at the pathetic display.

"Ugh! Fine! Make me a member of your familia."

'Eh? Is that how you ask someone to join their family?'

"Tch… Please, can I join your familia?"

'Of course.'

[The Black Vampiric Weaver Queen wants to become your servant. Will you accept?]

Ø [YES]/[NO]

I accepted her into my family.

[You have acquired one servant.]

[Congratulations: You have acquired 28550 minions]

[Your familia has grown tremendously!]

[Your familia has leveled up 5 times!]

[You have unlocked more slots for Captains!]

[You have unlocked the General slot]

[Your Charisma has increased tremendously! You have acquired the [Family Head] specific skill [Loyalty Test]]

[You have acquired 200 familia points!]

[You have received the Quest: Familia Head Duties]

'Ah… you stupid spider! You cause me too many problems.'

"Eh? What do you mean?"

'You didn't tell me you had over twenty thousand subordinates under your control. I upped and broke the norms again.'

"What are you talking about? I've got about fifty thousand subordinates."

She proceeded to say something completely absurd.

'Ah-'

"Just kidding~"

She teased me then I kicked her.

'Annoying bug.'

"What's the big idea?!"

She complained and I ignored her.

[A Party has been formed]

[You are designated the Party leader]

[Party skill [XP Share] activated]

[You will receive 75% of the XP gained during combat, regardless of whether it was your kill or not, and vice versa]

[Party skill [Mana Share] activated]

[You both now share the same mana reserves]

[Party skill [Location Share] activated]

[You will now know each other's locations no matter how far away you are from each other]

'Hmm, I see. Ei, bug. You seeing this?'

"Yeah. It's kinda weird seeing a screen, but I guess I more or less understand."

'Cool, then, in that case, attack that undead soldier.'

I ordered her and she looked at me as if I were insane. Eventually she simply shot a ball of water into the skeleton, breaking it without much effort.

[The servant Yokino has defeated an Undead]

[The servant Yokino has acquired 400XP] [XP: 12,400/ 13,400]

[You have acquired 300XP] [XP: 405/4590]

"Seriously? They are actually this weak? I should have done this a long time ago! Woohoo!"

She yelled and ran off deeper into the cave.

'Ah- But you…'

'How does an undead give so much XP? Ah… whatever.'

I sighed, then chased after her.

[Party Members: [Hinotori Hyakkiyako (Party Leader)]

[Yokino]

[Dungeon Conquest progress: Ground Floor (incomplete)]

***

'[Fire Magic: Fire ball].'

I shot a ball of fire at a skeleton with a sword that was running towards me, but with the effects of [Saint] and the fact that undead had a natural weakness to Fire type moves, I ended up killing it in one blow.

[You have acquired 230XP] [XP: 405/ 4590]

[The servant Yokino has gained 115XP] [XP: 12,515/ 13,400]

'Wow, we are actually getting a really good amount of XP for killing these simple undead. I wonder how much XP the dungeon boss will give us.'

"Hahaha! This is great. I can feel myself getting stronger!"

Yokino screamed in joy.

'Kukuku… This is a blast. It's just like a dungeon from back home! All the XP. If only there were item drops and chests with good stuff.'

[System Master ##### is interested in your suggestion]

'Wait, what!?'

The system didn't say anything else, so I ignored it.

I walked next to the scattered undead, picked up the bones and ate them,

[Due to the unique skill [Evolver], you have acquired [Slashing Resistance]]

[Due to the unique skill [Evolver], you have acquired [Stabbing Resistance]]

[Due to the unique skill [Evolver], you have acquired [Novice Swordsmanship]]

'Wait! [Novice Swordsmanship]? Because I ate the undead that waves swords around? Alright then, let's go loose!'

"Hahaha! Die you undead! Wait… Do undead even die?"

The spider was on a rampage. Powerful water bursts, lightning blasts and hard earth were being flung at the undead. She really didn't hold back against them, crushing them left right and raising her experience points quickly. I on the other hand was testing out the [Novice Swordsmanship] skill, simply swiping a sword I picked up from the ground. The skill wasn't especially doing anything to me. Maybe I needed to face an actual opponent for it to show?

[You have acquired 3213XP]

[You have gone up 1 level]

[Your level is now 15/30] [XP: 1260/4755]

[The servant has gained 5607XP] 18,122/ 13,400]

[The servant has leveled up!]

[The servant level is now 50/50] [XP: 4722/14,500]

[The servant has acquired the skill [Illusion magic]]

'Hmm? She's reached her racial level climax. Which means she'll be evolving after this.

"Ah, chicken. I just got a new skill?"

I looked at her.

'Speaking of which. How did you use to know that you had acquired a new skill before?'

I asked her. I was sure if she had shoulders she would have shrugged.

"I don't know. I just knew? Although learning to use them is always a problem for me. Luckily I'm a quick learner."

'Huh… let's go back then.'

"Erh, but I just got this new [Illusion Magic]!"

She complained. Had she already forgotten about the fact that she wouldn't be able to move in a bit?

'Sure. Go ahead.'

She turned around and started mumbling some weird stuff to herself. It didn't take long for me to see some weird mist coming off of her body. It was sort of eerie.

'Is this… Illusion magic?'

<<Notice: It would appear that the target is making their own brand of the illusion magic>>

'Her own brand? Damn, what kind of unique skill does she have?'

The mist stopped forming and the spider slowed down.

"E-eh, tch. Fine… Let's go.

There was clanking and I noticed a new presence in the area. I ignored the spider for this presence and ended up laying eyes on a different undead from the others. It was a bit bigger than the others and dressed in black armor and releasing an eerie aura.

"Hmm… [Holy Fire Magic: Divine Fire Ball]."

I didn't even waste time on it. I shot down the skeleton with my Holy fire magic. Surprisingly, it ended up knocking it out with that one hit.

[You have defeated a special summon: The Undead Knight]

'Special Summon? Was this guy supposed to be tough? I'm starting to doubt the danger of this dungeon. It isn't really impressing me.'

[You have received 2,900 XP][XP: 4160/4755]

[The servant has gained 2000XP][XP: 6722/14,500]

The skeleton turned to ash and its armor was left behind.

[The Undead Knight Dropped Items]

[The Demon Armor Set]

[Equip all parts of this set to unlock the set bonus]

[You have acquired 1x [Demon Breastplate]]

[You have acquired 2x [Demon Shoulder pads]]

[You have acquired 1x [Demon Long sword]]

[You have acquired 1x [Demon Shield]]

[You have acquired 1x [Demon Helmet]

[You have acquired 2x [Demon Boots]]

'It left loot! Let's pick those up.'

"Um… That looks a bit heavy."

'Yea, don't think too much on it.'

I picked up the pieces of armor that had fallen one by one.

[Demon Helmet: Grants User +10 Defense]

[Demon Shield: Grants user +30 Defense]

[Demon Breastplate: Grants user +5 Speed and +10 Defense]

[Demon Shoulder pads: Grants user +5 Defense]

[Demon Boots: Grants user +10 speed]

'Oh nice'

I then picked up the black blade and it reflected my image perfectly. It was a beautiful blade that gave off this weird, ominous vibe.

[Demon Long Sword: Grants user +30 attacking power]

I put them all in my item box and dusted my hands happily.

"C-Can we go now? I'm not feeling too well."

She said. I looked at her weakened state and only one thing could come to mind.

'Mission Complete.'

"Huh? What are you saying?"

She was obviously very confused, but that didn't matter now. I walked up to her and stepped on her head, forcing it down.

"What are you doing?"

She grunted beneath my claws.

'Oi, spider. Now tell me who you really are.'

The whole purpose of me specifically pestering Yokino to come with me to the dungeon was to confirm exactly who she was. There was no way she was just a spider that acted out of the norm and became stronger than a king in 3 months. And there was the fact that she possessed a unique skill. Something wasn't right anyway I looked at it. Yokino was definitely a reincarnated person. So I came up with the plan of exploring this dungeon with her today to find out. I would leave her to clear most of the skeletons. I could simply leech off of her experience gain and when we entered the first floor, she would definitely find it difficult to escape if the rumours about the strength of the monsters in the dungeon was true. She could simply teleport out, but I already confirmed that she didn't possess any teleportation abilities and her stamina wasn't really impressive to be honest. It was only a matter of time till she ran out of steam and would turn to me to help her escape. However, now I wouldn't let her escape till she told me the truth.

"W-What do you mean?"

'You… you actually come from earth, don't you?'

"E-Eart-??"

'Don't try bullshitting me. She already told me about you.'

I noticed that the spider was just stuck in place after I mentioned "She". Had Alpha talked to her before? Well, I guessed that would be logical.

"Fine! You're right! I come from earth, ok? So what are you going to do?"

She just confirmed everything.

'Well… I didn't think up anything beyond this point. Haha, feels nice to know someone in the same situation as I am in.'

I laughed off the issue.

"Wha-?!"

'Let's go, then, Yokino.'

I grabbed her and used [Shadow Travel] to escape from the swarming skeletons.
