Behind him, Lilly and her suitor seem to actually be getting along well, as he goes all out to impress the bride that has been hiding from him for nearly three decades. Cain isn't an expert on feline sex appeal, but she must be seriously attractive for him to have gone so far to woo her.
Since she is busy, Cain starts on the dragon body, making one the same size as Defect's immature dragon form, then imbuing the Puppet with [Draconic Resistance], [Ice Breath], [Claw], [Chomp], and [Tail Slap] from Laura's abilities, all of which ascended to Mythic along with her.
That gives the Puppet the Mythic Quality tag and [Awakened Mythic] buff, just like Cain hoped.
"This part is a bit risky, are you ready?" Cain asks the little dragon, who nods happily while staring at the copy of herself.
[Living Dolls Activated] Stasis Gem placed in inventory.
It's not in Cain's inventory though, so it must be in Defect's. Speaking of which, she needs a better name. Cain knows his shortcomings and decides it's best to ask her before he goes changing things about the Puppet body she is in.
[Defect, tell me what name you would prefer to be called by.] Cain orders, subconsciously using [Noble Command] to reinforce his request.
[DeeDee. Everyone Calls me DeeDee.] she answers automatically, and Cain adjusts the name of the Puppet body she inhabits.
"Alright, one more step, and we are done. Hopefully." Cain announces to the room, pulling everyone's attention to the tiny dragon in front of him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCain releases the Puppet from his control, making DeeDee an independent person again.
She blinks rapidly and looks around, the fog that the Puppet effect places over her mind fading as she regains her freedom.
[Now, tell me what Class you would like to have.] Cain orders again, and she simply blinks at him.
"I can have a class? I don't think that is possible. I mean, defective dragons don't get classes right?" she asks, resisting the skill.
Cain just raises an arm tentacle in her direction, tapping her on the head as if he's waiting impatiently for her to give a proper answer to his question.
"Um, Can I be a mighty warrior? One of the ones with the shiny armor and the big shield. You know the ones I mean?" The dragon asks and Cain nods.
Scrolling through his summons, he gets to King James and selects the [Detect Falsehood] class-exclusive skill of the Crusaders.
"Gah, there's something in front of me," DeeDee calls, swatting at thin air.
"Just say or select yes to finalize the acceptance of the skill." Cain laughs as she panics at seeing the system interface for the first time.
"I have one class option. Crusader. OH! They're really pretty. Yes, I can be a crusader. Okay. Change to humanoid form? Why would I do that? Oh, so I can use the shield. I see. Thank you." The little dragon narrates her interactions with the system screen out loud while everyone does their best not to laugh at her naive joy.
[Quest Complete: Advancement Token Gained]
She transforms and the simple dress that she was wearing when she came in becomes a tunic and trousers.
"Now all I need is a sword and shield and I will be a mighty warrior." She tells herself out loud before looking at Cain and giving his legs a big hug.
"Thank you. I'm a proper dragon now, with dragon breath and everything. I even have an item in my inventory." She tells him in a very serious voice.
"Never take that item out of your inventory unless you are going to put it somewhere very, very safe," Cain tells her, and the dragon nods in understanding.
Lilly and her suitor have stopped their conversation to see the dragon, realizing that she is in fact a Fully Awakened Mythic Being.
"That should have completed the quest though shouldn't it?" Lilly asks, confused and not seeing an update in her Quest Log.
"My quest completed. I think I just need to pick the new class to complete yours." Cain shrugs, but the Bog Witch looks panicked.
"What if it doesn't think that I helped enough? Maybe I should have done something while you were upgrading the Dragon? If this doesn't complete what will I do?" She is nearly in tears and beginning to have a panic attack when Evangeline moves to give her a hug.
"Relax, it will be fine. Worst case scenario, you need to wait until Cain reaches the fifth advancement, and spend a couple of millennia as his pet Nergal." The Seraphim consoles her and the Bog Witch begins to relax for a second before the words actually sink in.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Has anyone ever mentioned that your friend is actually quite evil?" Xxictix whispers to Cain, making Laura laugh.
"Many times, but she just has a strange sense of humor." The dragon whispers back, but loud enough that Evangeline can hear her, sticking out her tongue past the large rounded Parrot beak of her current disguise.
Cain takes a moment to look through his inventory for plate armor pieces, finding that he has some bright Golden pants and a chest plate, with some silver gloves and boots. Not a bad start for a fashionable young dragon. The bonuses on them are honestly garbage, but there is some life-on-hit and added damage absorption for blocked attacks. Then a one-handed sword and a shield finish out the kit and Cain trades it to DeeDee.
"Um yes, accept, gimme the shiny objects?" She says, still using verbal commands to activate the menus.
Once she has them she immediately equips them, then struts around the room in her new armor.
"See this boss? I'm a mighty warrior now. No longer will anyone be able to bully me." DeeDee announces proudly, thumping her armored fist on her chest and making the Succubus laugh.
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you're still level 1. You're in an advanced class, and I think it might be a Second Advancement class, or a really strong first advancement one, but you are only level 1. You will have to work hard to get strong enough to not get bullied anymore." She points out and the little dragon looks like she might cry.
"You have Mythic Dragon Breath though, so you will be able to level up really quickly once you get to a dungeon under level 100. Or maybe you can hunt Crazed? How do people even level up in the awakened areas anyhow?" Cain asks, just now realizing that he has no idea.
"There are low-level beasts in the wilderness. The hunter's school takes them on field trips to level up." Lilly informs him with a knowing smile. DeeDee never went to school, she was too afraid, and unqualified even if she had the courage to apply.
"Well then, we should send you off to school. Hall Master, I will return your worker in the morning, but I'm afraid that the little one will be gone for a while." Cain laughs, taking DeeDee by the hand and scooping up Lilly with a tentacle.
"What happened to advancing your class?" Lilly wails as her fiance follows the group out the door, waving goodbye to the Quest Hall manager.
