[El's POV: ]

'Well... Re:damn.'

These weapons were more than what I was expecting. And though they weren't the best I have seen, they sure were outside the spectrum of my predictions.

"Probably because of the cores…" Lucy mumbled as he observed his upgraded sword that was nothing like the plain sword that only increased his stats by a little.

His new white gold sword which looked freaking cool just from the looks, was now a weapon at least worthy enough to be my Lucy's bonded artifact.

'And my little wand is the same.'

There was no other way to explain THIS great of an upgrade other than saying it was all because of the special cores. But whatever the reason was, the cores, our luck, Raz's presence, it wasn't important right now.

"Saweeeeeeeeet~."

I love this wand! Cool star sparkled when I waved it around like those heart-shaped magic staffs of those magical girls~.

It could kill and it sparkled, and there were colorful lights inside it too! Damn~.

And its enhancement completion ratio was 105%, an entire 1% more than my darling bastard!

"This is the best~." This was the best staff I can ask for at this level~.

<Nya… you like it because it sparkles? Not because of the skills, nya? I have seen masterpieces of grandmasters but even they are nothing before these things, nya.>

Synthesis was finished so we were standing before one of the synthesis tables that was still here for some reason, and my Raz had an adorable look that couldn't believe his own eyes.

It sure was surprising how those simple, stat-increasing weapons turned into something like this but it was real, and his adorable look was cute~!

[The spectator 'Diety of the forest of luck' thinks you are like ▼▼▼▼.]

"Hmmm? No, we aren't. ▼▼▼▼ is a dumb bitch. Neither of us is dumb."

"El...?!"

"What?!" That out-of-the-blue scream scared the hell out of me!

Lucy suddenly shouted and I looked at him with surprise and shock.

"What did you just say?" He looked at me with a questioning gaze as if telling me I made some kind of mistake.

"▼▼▼▼ is a dumb bitch? She is though?"

[Many spectators of Absolute purity are curious about who is a dumb bitch.]

[Many spectators of the Pure evil faction are curious how 'Diety of the forest of luck' knows this dumb bitch.]

[Some gods are speculating something with uncertainty.]

"This. How can you casually say stuff like-… right. He is one of the only few who actually knows her."

My dumb brother remembered late. He was a dummy dum-dum sometimes.

"Yes he is and, they ain't gonna know what we are talking about anyway."

I knew what to say when it came to important stuff and he knew it the best already.

'Did receiving a pretty-looking sword that wasn't just a sword made his memory weak?'

Baka.

Anyway, our upgraded artifacts were super duper ultra max pro amazing.

But admiring them would have been easier if this 'esteemed person' wasn't here.

"So, mister Alchemist. Do you have any work with us?"

The synthesizer, celestial alchemy lab, the test tube of phenomenons, and the <Factory of transmutation> were some of the features managed by the same Offspring, the 135th offspring of the Worldline, commonly referred to as <The Alchemist>.

And if even after the synthesis process was complete and the table was still remaining there, it only meant the one that looked after this feature was here and had something to say to us.

But, even though I asked him politely, I didn't get any answer.

"He's probably waiting for Wordline's messages. It's because of him that the data calculation is happening again so, well, he must be embarrassed too."

"Heh. Right. You must be here to discuss the patents but, you should have come after things had ended.

It's already a mess since we also got our first jackpot, and the traffic of people watching us has suddenly increased so much."

His timing was bad, but it wasn't his fault if I say so. This big mister tiger was just a little unlucky today.

[Ding!]

[< Achievement data revision complete. >]

It was finally complete after that ugly long time. And my Lucy and little kitty were excitedly looking forward to what I get for my unbelievable achievements.

'I am excited too but what can the Worldline even give me? Some little big stuff? Maybe an authority? But that much was nothing to look forward to.'

It would be surprising if I get a-

"It would be fun if you get an exclusive title, El." Lucy stole the words from my mouth and just this little fact…

[< You have invented the method to use the function <Synthasizer>. >]

[< You have successfully synthesized multiple artifacts beyond the base completion rate. >]

[< You have created artifacts that induce jealousy in multiple higher beings of different orientations and personalities. >]

[< You have created a [Ego] weapon. >]

[< You have gained the curiosity and interest of the Offspring overlooking the feature <Synthasizer>. >]

[< You have done something for the first time in the entire Worldline…! >]

The messages suddenly stopped but both Lucy and I knew what the meaning of doing something for the first time in the entire Worldline meant.

-OOOOOOOOOOOOOONG…

The cave ceiling above us suddenly started glowing with a strange gold-purple light and a smirk appeared on my face.

"My lucky Lucy bastard…"

Did he have some strange power that made everything he was saying at those certain times true? Or did he have some kind of special innate skill that made him say stuff that was going to happen in that exact next moment?

[< ID: Auriel has gained a special status in the Worldline as the only person to ever perform a perfect synthesis of Beta level. Thus gaining an exclusive Title: «Synthist of rumors». >]

[< ID: Auriel has become a special observation target for many elements holding core Authority, thus requirements for interfering with situations directly related to her have been recreated. >]

[< As the basic reward of the achievements, a Purple reward box will be awarded. >]

[< As the basic reward of the achievements, <Fourth authority> will be noted. >]

[< As the total reward of the achievements, innate skill [Synthasizer] has been granted. >]

[<Voice of the world> has received a special announcement from the Worldline. Asking for announcement permission.]

All the golden Worldline messages with that special voice finally ended and the normal blue message screen of our system appeared, asking me a question which's response I already knew, but still tried checking.

"Declined."

[…]

[Ding!]

[Decline rejected due to lack of Authority.]

[Announcing the existence of «Synthist of rumors» in four Worldline area points around the worldline area #321CF.]

[Everything has been noted in the personal <Records>.]

"Haaa…"

The purple-gold sky started vanishing while everyone in this place who was connected to the worldline system received a notification saying the 'Synthist of rumors' has been appeared in their world.

It was strange seeing from a normal person's point of view but those like us that knew the significance of a message like that, couldn't help but get curious about our identity.

And, those spectator bastards would directly know of our locations now, so, our viewers were going to increase exponentially now.

"You knew this would happen too, right?" Lucy smiled bitterly at me, and Eva looked at me warmly as if she was proud of me or something. While my kitten was almost in tears.

"I knew there was a possibility, but maybe I wouldn't have received it if sir Alchemist wasn't here."

Gaining an exclusive title meant becoming a VIP in the Worldline. And the spectators cannot interfere with the VIPs as easily as they could with the normal elements of the worldline.

It was, once again, Lucy's luck that I got this special title that in normal circumstances, we should have only received after clearing the next dungeon on our path.

And, if things had gone as we thought, we both would have received a 'couple title', but now…

"What can we do now? It's a blessing that comes with its own disadvantages."

The world would have known about us together if things had gone like I wanted, but, my dear darling spoke up, and it happened…

The world now knew about not us, but only me. And I didn't like it!

"It's alright, El. Haaa… it was going to happen sooner or later, but, though unexpected, this is still better than the normal, boring, and expected stuff.

And the rewards are too good to be true, no? Let's look on the brighter side. Or… just look at how that gorgeous purple reward box is materializing. It's all sparkly and pretty, right?"

He knew exactly what to say at the right moments. That's why I loved him soooooooo much~.

"Hehe, right."

He was the best~. And this amazing purple box that neither of us was expecting was a bigger surprise than receiving three golden boxes as I had anticipated!

And, in a way, it was all thanks to the low authority spectators that our new slave troll hero brought, the luck of my two little bastards that caused that jackpot, Eva's love for her sword that gave birth to an [Ego], the special weapons that we only received thanks to my darling, and mainly my flawless execution of that perfect synthesis technique.

It took me months to create those condensed elemental crystals, years to perfect them, and more years to encode all those spells that we used today in my mind.

I was still not capable of creating all those spells at once so, I used my special mind and encoded those spells, prepared them, like we do with magic scrolls, and used them now.

This special reward, this purple box materializing before us that one couldn't possibly gain on a small planet like this, certainly not while only having three authorities as we did, was a great reward, but I still didn't like that I was the only one with that special title.

'And, I have four authorities now. Which… is bad but we can manage by adjusting some stuff here and there.'

So, ultimately, this special title that I gained, and the FREAKING AMAZING innate skill that will open up many new opportunities for us, came with their drawbacks but were certainly pretty good.

And, this synthesis table still present before us that played a core role in all this, though unexpected, certainly deserved thanks from all of us.

"It is alright to talk now, right, Sir Alchemist?"

[135th Offspring of the Worldline, The Alchemist, has revealed their true form!]

The table that rebirthed our dear weapons started glowing with a unique colorful light, and as we saw… it also started changing its form into something, that was far more majestic and gorgeous than a simple, lifeless, normal, synthesizer…
