VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

Standing before him on its two legs was a magical bird, and just being in front of this being made them feel a sense of awe wash over them.

This bird, this being that had called him master just a moment ago was now looking up at him, and he was looking back into its golden, mesmerizing eyes, filled with a mysterious wisdom that seemed to hold the secrets of the heavens.

The bird's white feathers shimmered with a soft, radiant glow, creating an almost otherworldly light around it.

"Wow…"

Among the pure white feathers, a few golden ones stood out, catching the light in a way that made them look like threads of sunlight woven into its wings.

As the soft feathers moved gracefully, each flutter of those soft, almost unreal wings added to its enchanting presence, making it clear that this was no ordinary bird. It felt like a creature from a fairy tale, a messenger from a magical realm… an angel in the form of a bird.

{ "I see you, for the first time, my master." }

Elio couldn't help but feel a deep sense of wonder and peace, as if he was in the presence of something truly divine. The bird's beauty and grace were so captivating that it seemed to bring a touch of magic into the very air around them, making the moment feel timeless and almost unforgettable.

"Hello to you too…"

He was frozen in his place, so Alex had to give him a pat on her back to bring him out of that state as she greeted the small creature.

This one had a long blue tail that seemed to be an extension of its own body, like braided hair. The white and gold on its tail were separate yet intertwined, making them seem exactly like some intertwined ribbons.

They were attractive, and she liked them quite a lot.

She liked the first appearance this being had taken as well, and since the bird was no bigger than a pigeon, she would not have to worry about carrying it around.

It was a pretty creature, and pretty things made him go into his own zone sometimes.

"Hun, oh, oh sorry."

But she brought him back, and he finally greeted the amazing creature.

"Hello, Sera."

The bird– the unique servant of his had a neutral name, but, since the voice that they had heard just now was a more feminine one, they had decided to use the feminine pronouns for her for now.

They were unique beings that were not human or mortal, so things like genders of pronouns did not matter to them in the first place.

{ "Using Mana is still difficult for me, so I will not be able to speak like this for too long, master." }

Sera flew up and sat down on his hand.

Her claws looked sharp, but they did not hurt him at all.

He could tell she was strong from what he was feeling as he caressed her feathers and looked at them from up close. The strength of her grip on his hand was quite firm as well so, she certainly seemed to be a strong being.

And, that fact was reflected in her status window as well.

"Aren't you a strong one, miss." He caressed her feathers carefully, and with a gentle touch, he patted her little head.

"It's fine. You don't have to waste your energy unnecessarily."

"Chirp~!"

[{ Thanks for your understanding, master. }]

The Master and Servant were connected with a unique connection. They did not need to use words to understand one another.

They could talk through this special connection, just like the masters and a Familiar.

The connection was not as deep and unique as the connection between a Familiar and their master, but on a scale of cohesiveness, this was the sixth strongest bond that Alex knew the existence of.

"She's a cutie alright. You struck big this time as well."

Alex was envious.

She has also had some Servants in her life, but they were not like this one.

The strength of the Servants greatly depended on their masters. And she had only obtained her first Servant card after she was over Level-100.

None of them were as weak as this one when she met them. She never got to see a cute side of theirs like this one.

"This is Alex, Sera. My significant other, and the most important individual in my life."

"Chirp!"

[{ I will keep that in mind, master. }]

She hopped on Alex's hand and Alex caressed her as well.

She was adorable…

"I think we should leave soon now."

Her feathers, her deep golden eyes, the light body that was stronger than most (Level-0) that she had ever seen, the power to sense and use Mana and even spells.

Intelligence stat that was higher than most beings that she had seen was the proof that this little bird was not some normal 'bird'.

She was in fact a unique existence that might just be as smart as any average human adult. And, she was still at the weakest stage of her life right now.

"Oh, right…"

Right after Alex reminded him how they would be leaving this town soon, she remembered something important that she had almost forgotten about.

"I didn't tell you Miss Rin and Misha will be joining us, did I?"

He was playing with his new friend, but as soon as she said that, a surprised expression appeared on his face and he looked at her with wide eyes.

"What did you just say?"

He had heard her loud and clear, but he still could not understand what she meant by that.

"Just as I said. Miss Rin and Misha will be joining us.

Didn't we need someone to take care of Miu and Az in our absence? The two of them will be perfect for that, don't you think?"

She answered him again, and with a new smile this time.

"Alex…"

This was another unexpected thing.

"Haaa. Please tell me why they would leave their perfectly happy lives here, their home, and come with us?"

It did not make any sense to him at all.

But, she had prepared the explanation that he was asking for right now.

It contained facts, as they both liked. So, it was going to be pretty easy explaining stuff this time around.
