Burning to see

Heavy raindrops fell on Hiten city this early morning as a young men slowly slid off his bed. Short dark black hair with black eyes. Average masculine face with a light French beard. After stopping himself from fully falling Clay stood up and walked to his bathroom to freshen up.

4 minutes later he was sitting in his bed thinking about what he did yesterday.

"I have been too excited about my blessing and it's causing me to make plans just to throw them out cause they aren't well thought out. I gotta slow down and look at the facts. Becoming stronger faster don't matter, yes power is important but I shouldn't make my life a mess due to greed. I just turned 18 and I have two more year before I have to join the military. Currently my technological affinity is 38% and arboreal is at 17%. 16 bodies gave me 2%. I am pretty sure the amount of kills needed to get 2% will keep on increasing. It will be funny if I have to hunt down an whole race just to increase my affinity by 1% in the future."

"The problem right now is how to increase my technological affinity. Killing humans will probably increase it but doing that will be the dumbest thing I can do right now. I thought learning coding you at least increase it by at least a little but I has had no effect. Today I will try to read up on the basics of technology and machines."

'Probably should also search up what Arboreal means too, I know it's related to forest cause of my blessing and also I heard of it in that context.'

"Queen what is the meaning of arboreal."

Clay had read a book in which the AI's name was Queen and he quite liked it so he set up his smartwatch's name to Queen.

"Arboreal means living in trees or related to trees." Replied lightly a sweet mellow voice."

"That's it? I guess it makes sense as most of the starlight forest's beasts live in the dense clusters of trees. The only reason I was able to snipe them was when they came to drink water near the river."

"How can I increase my affinity using this information? Let's start with simple basics. Arboreal animals live in trees because it is s after that living on the ground they also have fruit growing right on their house. Most arboreal animals are probably stealthy agile animals."

>TING<

You {Arboreal } affinity increased by 7%

{Arboreal} affinity: 24%

Reached 20% affinity

Obtained {Arboreal} class: Snake of Nightmares

Obtained ability:

{Hunting eyes}-When activated improves vision can switch to thermal vision or night vision.

{Scales of illusion}- Covers the caster in illusionary black scales. Per the casters wish the scales can help the caster blend with the environment they will also remove all traces of the casters presence. Or can make the caster look like the lookers biggest fear.

The ability {Scales of illusion} was moved to your Natural body by the will of Mother Earth.

'Ahhahahahah! Such basic knowledge and understanding gave me 7% affinity. It's would have taken me Weeks to do by killing beasts. I should search up all the info I can about arboreal.'

'The abilities given by this environment is sick. Scales of illusion, looks like it's time to find out San's biggest fear. It's a tragedy I couldn't also get the eyes. Night vision and thermal vision are seriously overpowered.'

Clay then spent one hour reading up on arboreal animals.

'After all that reading my affinity increased by 4% making my affinity 28%. I got way lower than I expected. I got a whopping 7% just from reading the basics this might be because those basics are related to the soul of the environment as my blessing said when I got it. Understand the soul of the environment to get more power.'

'I should start reading the basics about technology. If 40% is the next milestone. I should be able to reach it easily.

"Clay come down for breakfast!" yelled Clay's mom.

"Coming down in a second!"

After half fixing his bed Clay gave up and jogged to the kitchen. The kitchen was weird as it had old fashioned cabinets but huge modern looking Island table in the middle.

"Good morning mom."

"Happy sunshines to you too." Smiled Sally Forth.

Sally in her early 40's. She had long black hair and bright black eyes. She was an healthy person and when she wasn't writing her books she would do gardening or workout.

"Hello my little mud demons, same to you fatass birds."

"BARK! BARK! BARK!" Angrily barked the 3 dogs.

"CHIRP! CHIRP!" Angrily chirped the 2 birds.

Clay loved his mom's pets but he loved teasing them more. As they barked and chirped the duo had egg sandwiches as this was a normal morning in the forth family.

"Where is dad?"

"To stop a fire your wife started." Smirked Sally.

"Ha. ha so funny mom. Should start writing comedy instead of kids stories."

"How is what I'm saying a joke. You kids have know each other since you and your father stopped the fire she started when she was 7 years old. She always comes to our house to supposedly fight you but alway loses even thought she got her blessing 5 months ago and has been trained by her family since she was born."

"I know all that. I knew she had a crush on me when I was like 12. But I am not going to confess first she has to do it. She always boasts about the fearlessness of the Heartfelt family. She should do it. You know what tell her that I will not talk to her anymore unless she takes me to a date and confesses. Be sure to highlight any amount of money to fight me will not make me talk with her."

'Good thing I know coding or else it would hurt me to lose this big cash cow. Tina has been paying to fight me since we were kids. She paid me so much through my life I never needed a job and was able to buy a car before I even learned how to drive.'

'I always felt like a prostitute when I fought her. The way she would cling to me mid fight and she has the balls to call me the pervert. She already started burning things cause I ignored her for 5 days. Let's see how long it takes her to break and come meet me.'
