Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated As A Living Armor?!

-----

"Eh? Is this really going to make me stronger, little boy?" asked a mature Squirrel-woman, seemingly in her mid-twenties. Her chocolate-skin was glossy and decorated with white tattoos, as she wore a simple leotard made out of the leather of monsters.

​​

"Yes, please touch the crystal," said a little toddler on his two years of age, with pale white skin, almost transparent, silky dark hair, a white horn, and crimson eyes.

"Alright then… Oh? What's this?"

The woman was surprised by the sudden voice in her mind, which offered her a series of Jobs to change into.

"As you can see, there is now a system window inside of your mind, there should be at least one job available for you," said Ervas.

"There are quite a lot! Err… what do I choose? Warrior… Huntress… Mage, maybe?"

"Hm, what are you good at?" asked Ervas.

"I… I am good with a bow and with knives, and I've recently begun to develop my magic more," said the woman.

"I see. It could be better if your first Job was something that strengthened what you're already good at, there is a big tribe with you, so you don't need to act as a jack of all trades, specializing is a good way to quickly grow stronger in a determined field. Although Mage could give you a push while learning magic, which you had just recently grasped, I would recommend you Huntress so you can get stronger in your field faster," said Ervas.

"Makes sense… You're intelligent for your little height… Huntress it is!" said the woman, choosing the Huntress Job.

As she did, she felt that her Archery and Knife Technique Skills leveled up.

"Oh? This feels nice! Can I change Jobs again?" she asked.

"No, you need to level it up now," said Ervas.

"Level it up… Ah, it's been so long since I reached level 100 while being jobless… I suppose I can level up again! Time to hunt with the girls! Thanks, little boy!" said the woman, leaving Ervas's tent.

Ervas mildly smiled, but he seemed a bit bored.

"And this girl should be the one hundredth! Our tribe had grown these last years, so there are over one hundredth more girls left, do your best, Ervas!" said Ismene, the chief of the Squirrel-kin tribe, who had Ervas sitting in her large thighs while being behind the desk that had the Job-Changing Crystal installed.

Ervas was the one that came out with the idea for everyone to change Jobs, so Ismene decided to leave him to instruct every single person that came to ask how to do the whole ordeal.

"I don't want to sound rude, but they should be able to figure it out on their own… why must Ervas sit here and tell every single girl that comes here what's the best job for them?" asked Jason, who was at Ismene's side, he was currently preparing lunch in a hot pot, where several ingredients were boiling inside. Pekorina and Amelia were playing around with Ervas's Plant-type monsters in here as well.

"No, it is fine, father. I want to help everyone get stronger in the most efficient of ways. Also, it is not like I am not training… I am currently leveling up as well," said Ervas.

Not all of his Plant-type monsters were present, as the others accompanied Veronica while hunting for Experience Points and monster meat.

The plants present were some new additions to his team. They were large vines covered in colorful flowers, which had recently mutated into monsters and had come to Ervas willingly.

Ervas had begun the task of giving each girl in the Squirrel-kin tribe a Job through the Job-Changing Crystal, something that most girls in here were completely alienated with. They didn't even understand the concept of 'Jobs' of the system and had always developed their skills through many years of polishing them without receiving any push from Jobs.

But due to this, Ervas knew that if they were to change Jobs now, their available options would be even greater and with such a nice starting point, they could develop immensely quickly, leveling Jobs and constantly changing to level up their already high leveled Skills.

Ismene had recently changed Jobs to Apprentice Mage, and after killing a few Demon Boars, she maxed it's level and changed Jobs to Mage, deciding to accompany Ervas for the rest of the day while using the opportunity to dine with Jason and her daughter.

Amelia, Ismene's daughter, had changed Jobs to Apprentice Mage as well, but has not leveled it yet due to being too young to go hunt alone. But she had scheduled a hunting session with Veronica for tomorrow.

"Flower, flower!" said Amelia, picking the flowers of the vine monsters as she saw how they regenerated almost instantly through Ervas's constant Mana nourishment.

"Giihh…"

The plants seemed a bit annoyed, they had expected to become strong warriors that would protect Ervas but ended working as babysitters.

"If we can pick up as many flowers as we want, we could build so many pretty things, Amelia!" said Pekorina, collecting the flowers in a big pile.

"Like what?" asked Amelia while eating the flowers, which had a sweet taste.

"Like… ah… I do not know. But we can put them in our head… or… ah! We could make dresses!" said Pekorina.

"Dresses? I want one!"

Amelia began to pick up even more flowers from the vine monsters… they seemed exhausted after generating so many, but their skills related to the production of flowers were leveling incredibly fast, so Ervas saw it as training for them.

"Wouldn't the flowers dry out? It would a dress that they could only wear for a day," said Gnome, Jason's Earth Attribute Spirit who had learned how to speak just recently, and had become quite talkative since then.

"Yes, but I can make it last longer," said Gaia, who had also become able to talk more eloquently.

"That's true. I wonder… can we make flower armor?" asked Gnome.

"I don't think so…" muttered Gaia.

"I suppose everyone is having their own fun…" laughed Jason as he sipped on the soup of the hotpot, it was almost done.

As Ervas finished instructing yet another girl, he felt that his Job, 'Apprentice Spirit Caster' had reached the max level.

Ding!

[Experience Points have reached the required level!]

[Individual 'Job' has increased from level 99 to level 100!]

"Time for me to change Jobs now…" he said, touching the Job-Changing Crystal.

Although Ervas possessed a different system than the one in Kritias, Job-Changing Crystals still helped him directly access his Job Change Tab without having to search it out by himself. It was as if the laws of this world perfectly complemented together with the Samsara System.

"I wonder what Jobs Ervas has available" wondered Ismene, petting Ervas's silky black hair.

"There should be a few new ones…"

[Jobs Available]

[Botanist], [Life Spirit Mage], [Spiritual Half-Demon], [Gray Wizard], [Hollow Life Specter], [Summoner], [Magic Cannoneer], [Telekinetic Fighter], [Spiritual Alchemist], [Mana Crafter], [Life Demon Druid], [Hollow Demon General] (New!), [Life Spirit Pharmacist] (New!)

"Two new Jobs…"

Ervas glanced at his two new available Jobs with interest.

"Hollow Demon General should be related to my Commanding and Strengthen Follower Skills? Perhaps now that I have instructed all the girls in here, they have gained the following skill regarding me? I still have a small number of plants, so that should be the case…" thought Ervas.

Ervas had not only tried to instruct and help each woman of the Squirrel-kin village out of the good will and nothing else but because if he interacted with each one and gave them pieces of advice, there was the chance of them receiving the 'Following' Skill and strengthening themselves while being below his command. It seems that Ismene, Pekorina, and Amelia had already learned the skill, and felt a tad bit closer to him.

"And��� Life Spirit Pharmacist, this might be related to my ability to constantly nourish plant life in my surroundings. But Pharmacist… doesn���t it have a different meaning? Maybe because I am also slowly healing the wounds of the people in the tribe passively, such a large amount of healing might have unlocked this Job," thought Ervas.

Although Ervas was not fighting right now, he wanted to train himself in fighting with magic and his Telekinesis. Life Spirit Magic did not bring any offensive spells aside from controlling and strengthening plants, so he could only rely on No-Attribute Magic.

"I've already made my choice anyway. I choose [Telekinetic Fighter],"

Ding!

[You have changed Jobs to [Telekinetic Fighter]!]

[The Levels of the [Chant Revocation; Level 3], [No-Attribute Magic; Level 4], and [Surpass Limits; Mana Usage; Level 3] Skills have increased!]

[You acquired the [Telekinesis; Level 1], and [Surpass Limits; Telekinesis; Level 1] Skill!]

"Oh? Not the Telekinesis spell but a skill?"

Ervas immediately tried out the Telekinesis skill instead of the spell, and immediately realized the changes, it cost way less Mana to produce telekinetic and formless forces, and through the 'Surpass Limits; Telekinesis' Skill, he could infuse even more strength into telekinetic attacks.

There might also be other abilities on it, such as using the telekinetic energies to multitask while controlling many things at the same time.

Ervas was rather happy over his decision, as this power would be polished for a greater fighting strength.

"Ah, I'm floating!" shouted Pekorina.

"Mom, look! I'm diving in the air!" laughed Amelia.

"Ervas, please get us down!" asked Ismene.

"I'm used to this at this point…" said Jason.

"Ah… Sorry, I didn't realize that I was doing that…"

It seems that Ervas's telekinetic powers had gone out of control for a bit.
