It was bitter. It tasted exactly like eating raw, green tea leaves. I could feel a warm, tingling sensation as I swallowed the chewed-up leaves.
The wait for the notification felt like days, even though it was just a couple of seconds. I was nervous, and the different possibilities of what I would need to do to get my limbs back flooded my mind.
Some were utterly ridiculous, while the rest seemed to be possibilities that I could only obtain in the far future…
[Gained the following skills]
[Ancient Fire Magic: Amaterasu]
[Ancient Fire Magic: Ichimei]
My heart started to race. I could almost feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins as I activated [Ancient Fire Magic: Ichimei]. The warm white flame pulsated in the center of my palm.
As I gazed into it, I saw small star-like particles floating within it.
Nervously with my hands shaking profusely, I placed the white fire on my absent arm. My dress's baggy sleeve covered only the nub.
Nothing happened. My heart sank, but I hadn't given up yet. There was one more way that could potentially work… I had to cut off the nub and try to regrow it.
After deactivating Ichimei, hesitantly, I flexed my right hand into a knife hand. In one swift move, I swung down at the nub, cutting it straight off.
I clicked my tongue at seeing the gushing blood before reactivating Ichimei and placing it over the wound. Blood was pouring out quickly, and the chop had fully exposed my arms bone.
As I stared at the white flame, I felt the slight tingling feeling disappear.
The next second, I saw new muscle fibers entangling with each other. Also, the pale white bone started to grow back.
After about holding the white flame over my regrowing arm, it had fully grown back. I flexed my arm and stretched it a bit before doing a few punches. It felt natural as if I never even lost it.
"*sigh*... that was scary. Now I need to do it my leg," I mutter before deactivating Ichimei.
Flexing my right hand once again, I swung down on my partly removed leg. Almost instantly after, I activated Ichimei and placed it over my wound.
The same sight that happened to my arm happened to my leg. Muscles were created out of thin air, and my bones magically grew back… but the sudden loss of blood made me feel slightly faint.
I didn't have to worry, though, since my bloodline has increased vitality. I should recover the lost blood within a few hours.
Deactivating my wolf summon, I stood up. The natural feeling wasn't there like my arm, but I was back in my standard shape after a few minutes of repeating the same exercises.
[Fire of Deaths Sword: Raiu]
I held the black katana in my left hand and infused it with Amaterasu. Eerie black flames burst out of the katana, and with one swing, I had flattened the hill next to me. A grin slowly crept onto my face as I swung a couple more times.
The blacks flames created a sea of fire around me, but with one snap… they were gone. But that didn't save the grass, so there was just a massive patch of dirt surrounding the top entrance of my castle.
"Hehehehehe… HAHAHAHA! FINALLY!" I shout.
Activating my feathered wings, I fly immediately towards the bustling streets. My landing created a giant spiderweb-like crack in the middle of the road, but I could only rely on a [Earth Control] or [Earth Magic] user to fix it.
My citizens all greeted me with a warm smile. I hadn't felt this feeling in a long time. My ego was practically through the roof.
"C-can I have a hug?" A little fire harpy girl asks me as I continued to walk down the dirt road.
"Why?"
"Please forgive my daughter, your highness! Olivia! Quickly apologize!" A tall fire harpy woman says, pushing her daughter's head into a bow while she deeply bows as well.
"It's fine. Come here; I'll hug you," I say, crouching down to the girl's height.
"YAY!"
I could feel something squeeze my heart as her warm smile filled my vision.
The little girl's arms wrapped around me before I hugged her back. Once we separated, the girl turned her head around and smiled widely at her mom.
"Damn, if only my kids were this cute," I mutter.
"Y-your highness, forgive me if I'm wrong, but did you just say you have kids?" The mother fire harpy asks.
"Yeah? Didn't my subordinates spread the news?"
The woman just shook her head side to side.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, the citizens around me burst into an uproar. My kids were suddenly the main talk of the kingdom. People questioned who they were, how strong they were, and how beautiful or handsome they were.
"M-may I ask where they are?" The woman asks but quickly regretted opening her mouth.
"Nope. But I will say that they aren't staying in my castle anymore," I said.
Before leaving, I pet the girl's head a bit before walking away. My next stop was the blacksmith.
…
"Yo, Aiso. How you've been?"
As I open the door to Aiso's smithery, I see him hard at work. I bet he didn't even notice me since he concentrated on the longsword in front of him.
Instead of interrupting him, I sat down on a chair in the corner of the room.
The clanging of each swing echoed through the room. Bright red and yellow sparks flew across Aiso's face, but he was unphased. As Aiso continued to hammer the hot metal, I could see the end of the sword slowly shaping into a hook. It was like a hook that you would see at the end of a fishing rod.
Since this wasn't going to end any time soon, I sat back and enjoyed the show. Blacksmithing was much more interesting than helping the Water Corps train after all.
…
Aiso breathed out a sigh of relief as he plunged the sword into a basin of water. He then pulled it out and slowly critiqued what he could've done better.
"Nice job. That was pretty fun to watch," I say.
Aiso quickly snaps his head around. An expression of anger soon turned into an expression of surprise as he noticed who I was.
"Your highness, please forgive my rudeness. I can't believe I wasn't able to give you a warm welcome," Aiso says as he places down his hammers.
"It's fine… so do you have the scythe?"
"Of course, do I have permission to go get it?"
"Sure,"
Why is he asking me for permission…
After about 5 minutes, Aiso came back with a scythe as tall as me. The black blade was 3/4 my height, and it was highly curved. It almost curved to half the way down the handle.
The handle seemed to be wrapped in a textured black hide, while the blade was pitch black and had a pattern carved into it. It mainly appeared random, but there was one consistent pattern… a pair of wings.
Finally, the handle had three chains at the bottom, each having a small, black, and ridged dagger at each end. They were almost as sharp as the scythe itself, and each dagger had its own unique color.
Dark red, dark blue, and Black.

Hmmm… that name sounds English, but I feel like it's in a different language. Also,
"Did you make soul equipment?"
"Yes, I have. Though it took many sleepless nights, I was able to perfect it," Aiso says, kneeling and presenting it to me.
"So, how do I claim it as my own?"
"Just let a drop of your blood drip onto it,"
I grab the handle of the blade and cut my finger with my nail. Slowly, the blood drips from my fingertip and splashes onto the black blade.

Too many notifications flood my vision. I couldn't keep up with them, but I had a general idea of what was happening. Multiple great spirits were fighting over my new soul weapon, causing it to become a horror which the higher-ups had deemed too dangerous.
A white and dark light appeared in the room and it slowly came together to form a black and white liquid that never mixed. It then plunged towards my weapon trying to destroy it … but I wasn't about to let Aiso's hard work go to waste.
My very first skill…
