I was reincarnated in the body of a parasite

It was a day like any other. The blazing sun on the streets of the small town where Ethan had grown up, the fresh air tickling his skin as he walked distractedly along the sidewalk. Nothing seemed to foreshadow the chaos that would descend upon his life. Suddenly, a deafening noise shattered the afternoon calm. He turned abruptly to see a car speeding down the road, its engine roaring like a raging demon. Time seemed to freeze as reality ignited around him.

"What is going on?"

[Your statistics were encrypted after entering this young man's body.]

''What could I do to encrypt the stats''

[You must merge your mana core with the damaged one]

[But this will ensure that you are linked to him forever]

The pain was unbearable. Ethan began to cough up blood.

''ARGH..'' 

[No]

"Okay then do it but...AAAAAAARRGH" 

[Okay start of merge launch of new kernel]

Ethan and suddenly fall into the arms of Morpheus. Asleep like a child

The young man's heart rate slowed and his breathing became regular. The flow of mana began to stabilize. Victory was Ethan's, at least for now.

The night deepens, enveloping the village in a dark mantle, punctuated only by the twinkling stars. Lying in bed Ethan slept desecrated.

Ethan is waking up in the body of a human. He had returned to the form he had been months ago. A woman enters the room carrying a bowl of water and towel. She saw that the young man was in good shape.

"Liam it's you…it's really you…"

''Uhh...Yes"

The woman was in shock, she rushed to take Liam with her to show him to the village doctor to make sure the cure was real.

The medical office, located in a small stone house on the outskirts of the village, exuded an atmosphere of serenity. The doctor, a wise man with silver hair,

"Hello Liam"

Ethan's heart, or at least the boy's, raced as the doctor performed a thorough examination.

After endless moments, the doctor raised his head, a glint of gratitude in his eyes. "It's a miracle," he whispered. "The fever is completely gone and he appears to be in perfect health."

"Madame, your son has good days to live now" 

Liam's mother took Liam by the hand.

"We're going back to celebrate"

The medical office, located in a small stone house at the edge of the village, exuded an air of tranquility. The doctor, a wise man with silver hair, greeted Liam with searching eyes. My heart, or at least Liam's, raced as the doctor performed a thorough examination.

On the way back Ethan observed the village. The village was quiet, perched in a green valley. Narrow streets wound between stone houses with straw roofs, forming a pretty maze.

Children played happily in the streets, chasing colorful kites or playing hide and seek between the old buildings. Street vendors sold their wares in the bustling market, while artisans worked in their shops, creating traditional crafts with skill and detail.

"Liam do you want me to buy you something?"

Liam shook his head to say no. After their walk Liam and his mother went home. Their house was at the end of the village, just at the beginning of the forest which stretched as far as the eye could see.

Liam's house stood two businesses closed for the moment. The blacksmith, recognizable by its wrought iron sign representing an anvil, and the alchemist's shop, decorated with dried herbs and mysterious alchemical symbols.

It was modest but warm, with its sturdy stone walls and carefully maintained wooden shutters. When opening the door a man walked 100 steps.

"Elara what the doctor said, will our son be able to live"

"Calm down Orion, you see the Doctor said that our son has good days to live"

He jumped for joy, he didn't believe what he had just heard. He prays to Liam in his arms and he says.

"Thank God you escaped" Orion sighed.

Ethan didn't know what to say, he found himself in a big mess. Bond with this kid for life.

"Okay...I'm going to rest in my room," he declared, going up the stairs to his room.

He opened the door and entered.

"System, stats."

[Force: 290]

[Agility: 209]

[Mana: 2 (320)]

[Defense: 200]

"Well, does this kid have any potential to copy?"

[Yes, here is the time needed to copy its potential.]

[Time to copy stats: 2160 hours]

"What does it mean ?"

[He's a blessed child, he must have dragon-level stats.]

"Could I see the stats?"

[Unfortunately, he destroyed his core the moment a celestial mage's blessing fell upon him.]

"Wait, wait, what's a celestial mage?"

[A celestial mage is...]
