Ch 63 - Cheater

As arcane knowledge flooded my mind like a raging river, my maddening grin widened as my eyes gleamed in the dark decrepit night.

As power course through my arms, I started to visualize a series of orders that all lead to one thing.

"Fireball" I muttered under my breath as a ball of blue flames appeared in my hand that raised the heat to an unbearable degree with how close it was to my hands but I then coated my hands with a newfound source of power called mana, and with that, the heat that made my naked hands be burnt now receded into a lukewarm heat.

"HAHA!" I said with a wide grin as I looked at the beautiful orb of blue fire floating on top of my hand that glowed in this dark room.

"Holy fuck, what the hell is this third power of mine? It can affect quirks, exp, the system, and now the powers that the reincarnates hold? And it seems like it will also make the power 'mine'" I said while I looked at the dead corpse of Louis Crawford, the source of this new cheat of mine.

"Fufu, this world would get too boring without you in their team if I do have to fight them. Just the sheer potential you have is beyond anything I have seen, develop well Louis Crawford, develop well that you can bring me a fight of the century" I said as I activated my control over time and watched Louis's dead body slowly reverting back to an alive state and also reverted back his cheat so he still has it, but before he could regain consciousness, I erased his memory of the recent events because I love a little bit of mystery.

"Uh oh, they're already coming. Hehe, have fun with my little gift to you all" I said while a void black portal appeared behind me that I walked through just in the nick of time as I felt that strong aura of death appearing just through the portal I instantly closed.

"HAHA!" I said as I looked around my cozy room with a wide grin and plop down on my bed with a joyful sigh.

"Three No's Magic and Magic Tool Creation, oh Louis Crawford, you could have become the strongest if you were just a little smarter," I said with a lamenting tone, wondering why Louis died a foolish death like that, but I'm a great guy, I could give others a second chance… a third chance.

"Ngh, now this guy right here can do magic, but the problem is that I have no point of reference on how efficient I am on increasing my mana supply" I muttered while I looked inside my body and felt my mana reservoir.

"Well, I guess I will still be an adventurer because why not, it would be fun, hunting monsters and traveling around the world" I muttered while I use No Attribute Magic, one of the cheats I gained and felt my body becoming strengthened to a great degree.

"Oh yeah, my system" I muttered as I realize that it could probably quantify my data and looked at it hastily.

[Race: Human]

[Class: Adventurer]

[Level: 1]

[Cheats: 3 No's Magic, Magic Tool Creation]

[Skills: Luck (S) Charisma(A) Stealth(A) Acting(B) Charm(B) Calm Mind(B) Mana(C) Animal Handling(C) Beast Taming(C) Beast Riding(C) Endurance(C) Agility(D) Strength(D) Cooking(D) Bartering(E) Sword Mastery(E)]

"Ooooh, a new tab! And my mana is C so it's like very above average, like it's out of the average" I said while I wondered how the system evolves to accommodate my needs.

"Meh, it's so fucking late right now and all I want is to sleep," I said while lying down on my bed and in just a few minutes, I fell asleep without a care in the world.

(Louis Crawford POV)

"H- huh," said Louis as he felt his body being slapped in the face and became enraged on who dares to slap his face, but the moment he opened his eyes, he made eye contact with Honda who was looking at him with interested eyes.

"What happened," said a deep gravelly voice from the side as he saw Don looking at him with his eyeless skull.

"Huh?" said Louis as he looked around the room in confusion and saw that he was inside a random house.

"Where am I?" said Louis in confusion as both Honda and Don became surprised.

"A few seconds ago, my mark on your body has activated indicating that you have died, but as we can see, you are currently alive," said Don as Honda looked at Louis in suspicion, wondering if the Louis they are talking to is a fake.

"W- what? How would I die? I have tons of self-preserving enchantments on my clothes, I'm near-immortal" said Louis as he looked around the unfamiliar room.

"Just tell us what you did for the past few hours," said Don as he nodded and started to retell what he did.

"So you went to vent out on some girls, and before you knew it, you were just here, on the ground, unconscious," said Honda in confusion while Don Will Dead looked around the room with his crimson red soul fire eyes.

"So you drank some tea and died to poison, I can still see the poison on the tea over there," said Don while pointing at the teacup on the table.

"So your killer has the means of destroying your enchantments and have a strong enough poison that was self-made and killed you without a hitch from the lack of damage around the area. So you were probably tricked with something and they used that to kill you, they probably led you to this house and killed you by making you drink the tea" said Don as he looked at the lack of blood all around the room.

"But here comes the confusing part, who revived you? Why did they revive you? How did they revive you? The one who revived you is also probably the one who erased your memories of the previous events" said Don with confusion in his voice as both of them were also brought into confusion as the knowledge donned upon their minds.

"Tell me, before you lose your memory, did you notice anyone suspicious?" asked Don as his eyes glowed, indicating that he just casted a random spell.

"No, I was just inside the room fucking some girls," said Louis as they tried to look around the room for some clues while casting some magic.

"No blood, no footprints, no fingerprints," said Don as they couldn't find any clues even with magic.

"Hmm, we'll keep this a secret between the three of us right now, there might be a traitor… among us," said Don as the trio nodded and got out of the room with grave faces because this event might break their group and lead to their downfall.

(The Next Morning)

"Yawn," I said while my closed eyes glowed yellow from the sunlight hitting my closed eyelids and opened it in response.

As I woke up, I heard the sounds of people chattering and walking, horses galloping with wheels being dragged, the birds chirping and more as the sense of surrealness once again overcame my body as I still can't shake the feeling of fantasy away.

"Ngh, let's do this," I said and activated one of my Three No's Magic called No Attribute magic to control the surrounding mana in the air and made it enter my body, kinda like those cultivation novels but with mana instead of qi, and instead of doing some complicated stuff, I am just increasing my reservoir.

After a few minutes, I deemed that I cultivated enough mana for today and stopped my deep meditation and felt sweat pouring down from my body which I cleaned off with my very convenient magic that I am starting to love.

"Phew, now that I am going to become a full-fledge adventurer from now on, I need to exploit my cheats to the fullest!" I said while my finger got coated with mana and with the same intensity as that scene of Light eating the potato chip while writing on the death note, I rapidly wrote some words on my normal clothes that only I know of its meaning and gave it various effects like Regeneration, Enhanced Defense, Enhance Speed, Enhance Strength and so much bullshit stuff I could cum from how op this cheat was.

Like I fully believe that Louis could destroy a city right now from how long he has been reincarnated, he probably has a weapon called God Killer or some shit right now, and as that knowledge donned on my mind, I just realize how unfortunate his death was.

"Nice, my clothes should be worth a few hundred gold coins right now with how overpowered it is," I said with a grin as I lifted my bed up with one hand and laughed at how overpowered the cheats Louis have and can't wait for the bright future ahead of me.
