7 Status

"Hey! Is that him?"

"What is he carrying... it's quite dark..."

The guards saw Kael coming out of the forest from a distance, and by the time he came near them, their jaws dropped to the ground as both shouted in surprise.

"The Blue Star Boar!?"

"Isn't that a Rare Grade monster!?"

Kael just nodded without showing much emotion on his face and casually entered the village, leaving both guards absolutely stunned. He arrived right outside his house.

"Wow! You really hunted it!?"

"At nighttime!!!"

"Amazing, Kael!"

"As expected! I really believed in you!!!"

As Kael arrived, he noticed all the kids still standing where he had left them. Kael sighed and placed the hunted materials on the ground, saying, "Why didn't you return to your houses? I told you it's late at night, right?"

The kids didn't say anything and just stood there with sparkling eyes. Kael also didn't waste his energy explaining things to the brats and just started dissecting the meat in a corner.

That night, Kael and the kids had one heck of a feast with top-grade meat in their hands, along with expensive spices Kael had brought earlier.

"Now this is life I'm talking about!"

"Indeed!"

"+1!"

"+2!"

After that, this same schedule continued for about 10 more days. Kael had completely recovered his complete physical capabilities. Slaying a Rare Grade monster in one blow was no longer a problem now, as long as he could land one great blow with his axe.

His body had finally finished familiarizing itself again with the axes. The old man who was the village chief had also met with Kael and resolved the relationship between his son and that little brat too. Occasionally, when Kael brought too much meat, he distributed it among the villagers instead of letting it go to waste. At the same time, he also helped them with some little things that required strength or such.

The villagers had started to treat him as a close member by now. Most importantly, he had also remastered his aura as a 4 Star Aura Expert. Along with being able to sense aura from other beings and things, and partially enhance his physical capabilities with his aura, he could now also easily enhance all his physical capabilities, including stamina, strength, agility, and endurance. At the same time, he had also started to feel the difference in the aura of different things, but it was still far off for him to gain control over such things.

[So you have finally awakened, you son of a bitch.]

As Kael opened his eyes early in the morning, he noticed the same chibi creature floating right above his eyes, just like the first time he woke up in this world.

"So I wasn't really in delusion at that moment, huh? Well, good morning."

[Good morning, my ass! Now tell me, what the heck are you? How are you in possession of this body? It took me a thousand years to unseal myself, and I somehow managed to enter this body, whose owner was about to die. I devoured his soul, and the new owner of this body was supposed to be me. But just then, you popped in out of nowhere, and now I'm stuck here because of no energy. And more than anything! Why the hell do you have access to my system!!!]

Kael didn't even react to all the shouting and casually stood back up. With a sigh, he just replied, "Well, I don't know myself. It was there, just like you. All I remember is that I committed suicide in some different world, and when I woke up, I was here in this half-dead body with you cursing at me. From what I can guess, the moment you were about to overtake this body, I also somehow entered this body. At that moment of coincidence, our souls sorta fused together, and now you are stuck with me. Smart explanation, right?"

As Kael finished his words, the eyes of that chibi creature widened to their peak, and a wave of shivers passed right through him as he muttered, "[Soul Fusion... no shit! That's really possible! Status!!!]"

*Fuck!!! It's really Soul Fusion, the stats of three souls have been completely mixed up! The original one got completely devoured, but his physical stats, class, and abilities are still there.*

*This son of a bitch's Intelligence stats got mixed up with the old stats too, and my authority is also here! Dammit! This is so messed up!*

"Ho~ so that's why the Intelligence and Wisdom stats are so high. Well, a system status is quite a nice thing to have, hey? By any chance, do you know the reason for all this mess?"

*How would I know? I have been sealed for centuries, and the last thing I-i... ahhhh...shiiiiit... that item! It must be because of that! That grade-less item! So that's the reason for all this hell...*

"An explanation in a little more detail would help."

*Show respect, you young fool! I have authority that lets me fuse anything and everything. Using that, I just kept fusing a lot of random items, and by the time I realized, I had this weird purple orb in my possession. I just randomly used it without knowing its use. Who knew it was a space item that would mess me up by fusing me with another soul. Shit!!!"

"Man, what kind of shitty luck were you born with? But an 'Authority,' huh? I didn't know such a thing even existed."

[Of course, you wouldn't. Such a thing is exclusive to Gods like me, and obviously, mine is the greatest one!]

'So there are things that I don't even know after reading that damned novel, huh? But now this explains why I'm still alive and my out-of-limit luck here, possessing this body and getting a free system attached. But fusion was it?'

Kael suddenly took out two worn-out swords from an extra pile of materials he had placed in a bag that he carried on his back when he entered the village. Next, looking at both swords, Kael commanded, "Fusion."

[Authority has been commanded!]

[Fusing Poor Grade Damaged Sword and Poor Grade Rusted Sword!]

[You have gained Basic Grade Sword!]

"Ho~ so it works like that. I think it can recover durability. By going by this logic, won't I just obtain a legendary-grade item with this kind of trash in my hand?"

[Don't have high expectations, fool. I'm near omnipotent, not completely omnipotent. The fusion authority depends on the quality of materials and compatibility of materials. And more than that, fusion requires luck too. If fusion fails, you will lose everything, and the higher the items you fuse, the lower the chances."

"Well, I guess it's not a completely broken skill. It's rather quite balanced..."

Kael sighed and looked at the chibi creature in front of him. With casual nonchalance, he introduced himself, "Well, since we are two souls in one body now, let's cooperate well in the future. I'm Kael!"

[My ass works well together?!]
