"Nom… Nom…"
The adorable Kate was stuffing her cheeks with pancake. She was liking the fluffy and warm texture, and how the honey on top and the fruits melded together with the sweet taste of the pancakes.
"You like it?" I wondered.
"Wuwah…!" Said Kate, opening her mouth and showing me what she was chewing.
"Alright there's no need to do that, eat it with your mouth shut dear." I sighed, petting her head. Children always play pranks like these but she was just doing it without any intentions at all… I guess she's just playing around. I guess?
Kate immediately noticed how Benladra was using her sharp teeth to tear apart the delicious grilled steaks I made for her, chewing the meat with intensity and swallowing after a bit. Kate immediately swallowed her meal and then pointed her tiny hand at the nearby skewered meat.
"You want this?" I wondered, as I gave her the stick. She began tearing apart the meat with her sharp fangs and… the stick as well with it. I don't know why she was doing this but I quickly stopped her!
Of course, the stick didn't damaged her at all, she was incredibly resilient as a baby dragon/system… or something like that.
"Hmm…!" Kate suddenly looked at the stick in her hand and her eyes shone bright white. In a second, the stick suddenly… eh?!
POP!
It suddenly changed with a "pop!" sound and completely became a stick of… dirt. Yes, it went from wood to dirt in a second. Its complete structure was rearranged from a molecular level and even changed… this must be [Matter Manipulation]. The girl just used it right now but it left me shocked.
The stick quickly crumbled out of her hands, as she felt confused. She had yet to even understand the incredible brutality of her Skill… If she could use it on a living being, is there any guarantee they could survive? What if they make someone into dirt, would they become like a golem or… they just die? I mean the soul will remain, souls, phantoms, and the like are not "matter" and are made of other elements, so she can't manipulate them.
Her powers are strictly useful for physical objects… I don't know if people, and I would rather never know, but out of curiosity I decided to ask the System about this.
[Kate]'s [Matter Manipulation] can indeed rearrange the molecular structure of living beings that are physical, such as all of those present here… However, depending in the strength and power flowing through the targets, they might be able to resist, although damage will always be dealt. Living beings turned into other sort of element or matter might die instantly upon contact]
Ehe?! Isn't that a bit too dangerous for now?!
[Kate] seems to have developed some sort of understanding of her powers. However, it is possible to seal [Matter Manipulation]. This might inhibit her growth but will make her harmless.]
That's… a good idea. I guess… but there's no way I would seal such a powerful Skill from my girl like that! Isn't that what makes her special? Is there a way to seal it in a way that it cannot directly affect others nor damage other people? And that it might only activate when she's in danger and facing a complete foe that desires to hurt her badly?
[Yes, special restrictions can be placed. As the master of the Divine System, you're able to control the Skills and Jobs that all those below your Divine Protection receive, you can edit them and control them, or even take them away from them, however, you cannot equip such Skills and they'll be stored in the Skill Library, where you can bestow them to other people. However, some skills might simply not work with certain people. [Jobs] can be taken away but cannot be given to others in a whim, but can be replaced through divine points. [Jobs] that are taken away will merely disappear, this will also provoke all job-related skills to disappear from the target, so make sure to take them away beforehand]
S-So I can just delete my daughter's special powers?!
[Kate], however, is a special case. There are certain special cases, those with powers too unique that can even surpass or have the potential to surpass the Divine System and your own strength. Benladann, Miranda, Fuyu, Benladra, Kate, Ruby, amongst others are like this. You might be able to seal their powers away, however.]
I see… Alright then, set the restrictions I had previously for Kate's powers, that's for now. I don't really know what I'll do about the other. It kind of feels bad to steal skills from others to give them to others. It is like stealing away their hard work.
[Understood]
FLASH!
In a second, I saw invisible chains emerge around the interior of Kate's soul. The little girl didn't even realized, as they were made out of my own power, and she continued eating like normal after that.
[The restrictions had been set in the [Matter Manipulation] Skill]
Can you… tell me more about her Job? It is the strangest and most overpowered sounding of every other Job I've seen.
[The [Primordial] Job seems to be a talent special to a few beings, it grants them the ability to gain powers that can shape the very fabric of the universe… No further information can be found, however. [Kate] might require growing and develop further to discover more powers within the [Primordial] Job.]
Hm, I see how it is- Wait, what?! Manipulate the entire fabric of the universe?! Is she that OP?! How did that happened?
[Due to [Kate]'s composition, she's capable of doing such powerful and amazing feats. The very fabric of her soul seems to contain the power to manipulate matter and reality itself, similar to the root of the power of the Divine System itself, how curious.]
Huh… S-So it is a derived power from the System, her mother…
[I, the System, do not remember bearing any child.]
Ugh, don't be so cold now…
