Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Looking at the so called 'Lucky Charm', Shiro gritted her teeth in anger. Killing intent rampaged around her with every passing second she spent looking at the item.

*KRRRR!!!

Synchronising with her killing intent, ice spread outwards shocking the party.

"What's gotten into her?" Aarim asked quickly as she retreated away from the incoming ice.

"I don't know!" Lyrica replied with worry plastered on her face. She had never seen Shiro like this before and even in the mutated dungeon, she was never this angry.

Shiro, who was the source of this, couldn't help but have flashbacks of her death. That moment when the hero watched her die.

Her name tag started to turn black once again. However, no one saw this since they were focused on Shiro herself.

"Shiro!" Lyrica couldn't help but should out when she felt something terribly wrong with her current situation.

Lyrica's shout snapped Shiro out of her daydream as she realised that it was just a statue and nothing more. As she calmed down, her name had also returned to its normal white colour.

"F*ck!" She cursed before throwing the statue against the wall with all her strength.

*BANG!

The collision caused the party to flinch a little. As for the item, the throw had caused it to break into several pieces which in turn renamed the item to Broken Aria's Lucky Charm.

[Broken Aria's Lucky Charm]

A lucky charm from the world – Aria –. Records state that this is a statue of the Hero who saved the world. However, it was subsequently broken by a certain enraged girl. This item is now useless.

Will block a single fatal attack from an enemy. (Limited to level 55 – Unusable)

Watching her walk away from the pile of loot, they tried to reach out to her but stopped when they saw her malevolent glare.

Both Lyrica and Madison paled at the glare since it felt like they were being stared down by a powerful monster.

As for Aarim, she was more concerned about what set Shiro off.

"A lucky charm?" Aarim muttered with confusion. The item was no doubt a life saving item for a low levelled adventurer. She couldn't understand why it would set off her anger.

'Hmm… the item says it's from a world called Aria. Could it be that she was from that world? She has no background and just sort of popped out of nowhere. But that's kind of far fetched though… so it must be something to do with the design of the item or she had seen this before. Maybe she associated it with the person who broke her links?' Aarim though with narrowed eyes.

Storing the item away, she decided to keep it for now and see if she could ask Shiro about it in the future.

Meanwhile, Shiro was currently trying to calm her heart down. After she heard Lyrica's shout, she calmed down a little and started to think about the item.

'Why is something from Aria in this world?' She thought with a frown.

When she had reincarnated, she wondered why she was in this world and how she got here. However, if there were items from Aria as well, that meant that there could be a possibility that she could return as well.

"If me and some random item of the bastard could be in this world, then that means there should be a way to travel between them. I suppose they did teach in school that the area we occupy right now is only a small part of 'earth'. Since that's the case, maybe Aria was dragged into this as well, which is why I was reincarnated here as a snow girl." She muttered.

Frowning a little, she held her chin with her hand and started to walk slowly whilst thinking about the possibilities.

"If there is indeed a connection or if Aria had fused with this world, that means I still have a chance to kill the light hero." She muttered with a grin.

"Hahahahaha. . . Looks like there is hope if I have a chance to kill 'gods' chosen. Hahaha, light bearing hero you better clean your ass." Shiro narrowed her eyes as she had a new purpose. Find a way back to Aria and kill the light bearing hero who had already killed her once.

"Since I have a chance to kill him, I'll need to get myself back into Tier 6. Most importantly, fix my mana links.

"Nan Tian should still be in New York so if he doesn't appear before my soon, I'll go find him and see if I can get the medicine." She muttered.

She needed the Phoenix Rebirth Pill so that she could enter Tier 3 soon without much time wasted. Not only that, but the stronger she was, the easier it would be for her to search for other medicine to fix her links.

Most of the medicine that could fix her are all guarded by strong beasts that at minimum, is Tier 4 in strength.

If she enters the peak of tier 3, with her arsenal of weaponry from her Nanomancer Class, she should be able to kill them.

Hearing some footsteps behind her, she saw the party walking towards her after clearing out the vault of all the things they could claim.

"Are you ok?" Lyrica asked with worry.

[Yeah I'm fine now. Don't worry about it.] Shiro smiled slightly, feeling more cheerful than ever.

"That's good." Lyrica sighed in relief when saw that Shiro was quite happy since her body posture was a little 'bouncy'?

It was something similar to when you would tell a kid that they'll be eating at a fast food restaurant soon. Their excitement would radiate off of their bodies in a way not unlike Shiro right now.

Aarim frowned in suspicion since Shiro had just gone from being absolutely livid to happiness land in a short moment.

"I have to say Shiro, you are one bipolar girl." Aarim eventually smiled.

Shiro only shrugged since she couldn't deny that fact. There were several ways she could act around people.

The bubbly kind that would always try to interact with others. Which is the personality she used in the trial.

The stone cold assassin that would always give people the sense of dread or the confident mage that will use her power to prove her confidence.

And naturally, she was most relaxed as herself. Shiro, A snow girl that had a second chance in life and had the purpose of growing stronger so that she could kill a certain hero that had betrayed her.

Of course, there was also the choice of reverting back to the time where she was being experimented. The moment when her psychology was a little twisted and a time where she would also be known as the insane bitch. Obviously, it was fixed with some rehabilitation but she could always simulate the effect so that she could creep some of her enemies out.

Thinking about a few 'fun' scenarios that she could use when interrogating someone, Shiro couldn't help but grin sadistically.

". . ."

". . ."

". . ."

The party looked at Shiro blandly. In a short moment, she had changed her emotion once again but this time it was that of sadistic joy. All they could think of was 'The f*ck is she thinking about?'.

"Anyways, let's get out of here. I've managed to get the item I needed so we shouldn't stay here longer than needed."

"How do we get out?"

"There is a teleportation circle in the corner of the vault and it should teleport you back to the entrance. We'll swim back to the submarine from there." Aarim smiled and showed them to the teleportation circle.

The party took this time to put on their helmets once more/

Shiro, on the other hand, took this chance to memorise the runes and the design of the circle so that she could do some experiments with it if the opportunity ever comes up.

Plus, some research was always welcome.

Activating the magic circle, the party was teleported outside into the ocean before swimming back to the submarine.

"Seems like we still have some time to spare." Aarim smiled when she saw that they could have been in there for another 30 minutes.

"Well Shiro did help increase out clearing time by quite a lot." Madison smiled.

With Shiro in the party, it felt like everything was on easy mode.

"True. Everything is easier with Shiro in the party." Lyrica agreed.

[In that case then you girls can go clear a level 50 dungeon together. I won't join so that it should prove to be a challenge to you.] Shiro grinned.

"Pui, who said it was easy? Life is never easy." Madison quickly changed her mind as Lyrica agreed.

Shiro only chuckled in response.

[But seriously. I believe that you girls can do it. Both of your classes are some of the best classes available at this stage so clearing level 50 dungeons should be a piece of cake as long as you don't drop your guard.]

"You really think so?" Lyrica asked with some uncertainty in her voice.

[I honestly do.] Shiro nodded. She wasn't lying. Both classes had stat growth and skills far above the average class. If she had to grade the class and its potential from the power demonstrated at an early stage, she would say that both classes should be around grade A to S.

Lyrica had the potential to reach Elven Blade saintess while Madison had the potential to upgrade into a class she had never seen before.

Just the hidden class Demon Knight was shocking enough as it is with frightening potential in both attack in defence.

She couldn't wait for the day where both Lyrica and Madison entered C class.

"She's right you know. Both of you have talent rarely seen in people. You shouldn't waste it by doing something you're always comfortable with. Cairosa has plenty of level 50 dungeons for you to try." Aarim agreed since the party of three had to be one of the most efficient parties she had seen in her life.

Not only that, but the trio's levelling speed was even more ridiculous. In the short time she had known Shiro, she had levelled up from 29 to 45. The growth of 16 levels was incredible when she considered how short that space of time was.

"Well… I suppose we do need a challenge." Lyrica said after a short moment.

Madison nodded her head in agreement since they did grow fastest when they were challenging dungeons without Shiro's help.

If they took Shiro into a dungeon, it would be overkill. Level 50 or not.

[When we get back, you girls can go into the dungeon. I need to do something anyways.]

"Could it be your 5th star?" Lyrica asked curiously.

[Yup. This miss is about to level up into a 5 star class.] Shiro grinned.

"Oh? 5 stars huh. I've never seen someone that had managed to complete 5 stars." Aarim called out from the driver's seat. It was common knowledge that the final star was one of the hardest tasks to complete.

With Shiro's capabilities, she should be able to pass.

"Do tell us if you get anything cool ok?" Madison smiled.

[Sure.]

After a few moments of small talk, the party arrived back at the boat.

"Well you're back quite early." Captain Sanders said with a small smile.

"I managed to get what I need so here we are." Aarim shrugged.

"Well you heard her boys. Reel them in!" He called out as the claws picked up the boat.

Shiro walked away to the changing room and changed back to her outfit. On the way out, she reunited with Yin who's first instinct was to ask for some food.

"I've only been away for 2 hours and you ran out of food already?! Fat bird!" Shiro couldn't help but exclaim.

*Chirp!

Yin slapped her wings in protest when Shiro called her fat.

'Don't you eat more than me!? Shouldn't you be the fat one?!' She protested in her mind but it wasn't as if Shiro could hear her.

Shiro narrowed her eyes in suspicion since it felt like Yin was becoming more intelligent as time passed. Not in terms of IQ since she is still a bird brain but rather she felt more 'human'.

'Maybe it's because she's levelling up. I heard that top tier pets do take a humanoid form after a certain level.' She thought to herself, dismissing Yin's actions as growth.

She would occasionally talk with Yin but mostly kept silent whilst sitting on the highest point on the boat. Even though she had calmed herself down, her mind couldn't help but drift back to the fact that there was a connection to Aria in this world.

'I wonder if they're still alive…' She thought with a bit of nostalgia. Not everyone in the Hero's party was bad.

If they were there at the time of the Hero's betrayal, she was sure that they would have helped her out. But doubts started to surface again since they were part of the hero's party and they were with him for longer.

'Would they actually help me when the time called for it?' She wondered.

Shaking her head, Shiro dismissed the thoughts.

'This isn't like me. I shouldn't be doubting everything like this. Plus, even if they are alive, I should move on since it would bring them danger if I got them mixed up with my feud with the Light Bearing Hero.' Shiro thought with a small smile.

Glancing over at Lyrica and Madison who were chatting happily, Shiro smiled contently since those two were sincere with their feelings. However, she wasn't sure about how long it would last in this world. Especially since she went from a pacifist who didn't like to fight to a killing machine with ruthless efficiency.

"Only time will tell…" She muttered.
