Otaku Witch

After breakfast, Sophia left for work in a huff. As the Student Council President, except for a bit more free time during the summer and winter vacations, she essentially worked year-round, a true queen of diligence.

"Miss, the opening ceremony is tomorrow. Please rest well today and don't stir up any more big news," she cautioned Dorothy before leaving.

Before she left, she was still somewhat worried and instructed Dorothy accordingly.

In response, Dorothy shrugged innocently.

What do you mean I want to stir up big news? As someone as law-abiding as me, how could I possibly cause trouble? The previous incident was clearly because Mother Superior and you insisted I take the assessment. I just followed your advice and happened to score a little higher, can you blame me?

Sigh, never mind, Lord Wang is magnanimous and won't argue with a troublesome angel like you. It's all because I can't find a place for my talents and strength.

Dorothy helplessly flicked her hair and then simply threw herself on the soft sofa in the living room, pulling out her identity card to check this time's gains.

I've passed all Nine Gates now, wonder how the points are. Should be enough to upgrade to a Great Witch, but to advance to a Great Witch I heard there's also a magic power threshold of 300k Mana, such a hassle.

[True Name: Dorothy Euphilia...Yemengade.Nidhogg]

.....

[Rank: Great Witch（x）Second-Generation Demon King（√）]

.....

Dorothy: "....."

Looking at her suddenly unserious identity card, the homebody witch blinked, somewhat dazed.

What the heck, what's this thing? Did the witch programmers of the All-Seeing Eye drink fake booze at work today?

This identity card is supposed to be a formal and serious document proving the witches' identities, officially issued. Who can tell me what this bizarre rank is about?

Dorothy entered the rank details with some confusion to see what was going on.

[Current Points: 200000]

As soon as she entered the points page, the homebody witch was straight-up iron.old.man.phone.jpg.

Damn, did the All-Seeing Eye collective forget their medication today? This points system must be bugged.

She skeptically continued to check the details of the points.

[Points Record: On xx/xx/xxxx, at sixteen, you participated in the initial combat magic qualification at the Witch Academy's Armed Society and passed with a perfect score, Points+5000]

Well, up to here it's pretty normal, but where did all these extra points come from?

Dorothy continued to read on.

[Points Record: Detected that you have completed a hidden achievement set by the great Witch King, now submitting your information to the Demon King's Secretariat.]

[Points Record: Lord Demon King reviewed your information and stated the following remark "Tsk, why is it always a teacher's kid, is this generation of mine just trash? (strike this out)]

[Points Record: Lord Demon King amended the remark to "This girl is like me, has the talent of a king"]

[Points Record: On xx/xx/xxxx, at sixteen, you received a commendation from Lord Demon King, and your current points jumped to 200000.]

[Points Record: Your points have reached promotion standards. Given your special circumstances, Lord Demon King has approved your exceptional promotion and granted you the exclusive rank and title of Second-Generation Demon King, rewarding the Innate Demon King's Talent (ssr).]

Dorothy: "..."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Looking at these bizarre points records, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ah, is this Lord Demon King really the supreme current ruler of the Witch World, that great being closest to being omniscient and omnipotent? It kind of feels like he's not very serious.

She only dared to think this in her heart.

After all, when it came to an existence like the Witch King, just mentioning her, even without using her True Name, could be sensed instantly.

Even if it was just thinking about it, Dorothy didn't dare to let her thoughts go too far, fearing that the great being might listen to her thoughts.

But whatever, strange as it was, it seemed all to be good things.

Awesome, I'm a Great Witch now and I've even freeloaded a title in one go.

Dorothy cheered in her heart.

Generally, by the time one reached the rank of Great Witch, witches would begin receiving various titles, which were not just impressive sounding but a way to utilize Fate, as fate was intangible and elusive, yet with the power of titles, it could be directed to work better in specific domains.

To put it simply, if your title was a scientist, then you would be more likely to have Fate assist you and make breakthroughs in scientific research.

Yeah, it kind of meant things would happen as you wished.

However, just like nicknames, titles were never up to one's own choice; others conferred them on you.

Therefore, if a witch wanted a title in a specific area, she had to strive towards that direction and shape others' impression of her towards it.

Still using the scientist title as an example, if you wanted to gain this title, regardless of whether you were really a scientific researcher or not, at least your usual conduct had to mimic that of a scientist, so others would believe you were involved in research.

Once enough people believed that you were a scientist, even if it was initially false, it could become true, and your fate would guide you towards the domain of scientific research.

Yeah, it felt a bit like becoming a god through belief, and it was somewhat similar to the monster tales about soliciting recognition that Dorothy had heard about in her previous life.

In fact, the title system of the Great Witches indeed was created by referring to and combining the True Name System with the belief system.

However, unlike the belief-based pseudo-gods that could be easily influenced by reversed beliefs, witches' titles were much more flexible as they could be transferred or changed.

For instance, the title of Sea Moon Witch in Dorothy's homeland, the Moon Sea Territory, was passed down through generations; whoever became the lord would take on the title. In the future, if Isabella succeeded her mother as the lord, she would also inherit the title of Sea Moon Witch.

Of course, aside from slowly building up a title or inheriting a predecessor's title, the fastest way to gain a title was naturally through a dignitary's bestowal, just like Dorothy had now.

Her title was a gift from the Witch King, directly recognized by the world's consciousness, just like nobles rewarded by the emperor, her status obtained couldn't be more legitimate, and therefore, this title came with an SSR-level talent.

The abilities brought by a witch's title belonged to one type of Fate's blessing, classified under talent rather than specialty in the witches' understanding, thus aligning better with the witch herself.

However, usually, the blessing that came with a brand-new title was often of N or R level, only ancient, widely recognized titles could provide SR or SSR level blessings.

Looking at it this way, Dorothy had really hit the jackpot with this freeloading.

At that moment, she quickly scrolled down her character card to look at her talent section.

[Demon King's Talent (SSR): Your qualifications have been recognized by the Demon King, earning her blessing. She grants you a share of her glory, the entire Witch World will acknowledge your achievements and look forward to your future. Note: The further you walk on the Demon King's Path, the more of her glory you will share.]

Dorothy: "......"

What the heck is this, speak human please, be specific, who knows what effects this has when it's so vague.

...Little witch confused....
