CHAPTER 56 World around
One of my favorite moments is actually from the comics. Darth Vader's ship crashes on a Rebel-held planet, which sends an entire army after him. Then they surround him from Direction.
Rebels: Surrender You Are Surrounded
ALL I AM SURROUNDED BY IS FEAR.
AND DEAD MEN.
Darth Vader
What follows is the most badass portrayal of Darth Vader in battle ever done
......
[Superior Sight - Passive/Active(LV. 1): A skill obtained through infusing mana through the receptors of your eyes. At a much higher level, this skill can see minute particles and even pick up on the smallest air displacements.
Upon maxing the skill new skills will unlock, which include - x-ray, telescope, electromagnetic, and microscope vision.
Effects: + increase in Sight.]
CP cost: 10/sec in the active state]
Suddenly a new notification appeared. I was surprised and happy. Surprised because I thought I would have to attempt the same with the last main sense which was touch. And happy because it was something that was coming with many more skills.
[You have got in tune with 5 of the 7 major senses of the human body. You have reached a special condition.]
Due to fine-tuning 7 out of five major senses You have obtained +10 points in Sense stat.]
'7? I've only reawakened 4. So what's the 5th?.... Ohh. Right!! Mana must be the 5th. Since I'm living in a world where mana is an essential aspect of the human body it's considered as another major sense.'
But there is also a possibility that the special energies themselves could be this 7th sense like Mana isn't everything there are trillions upon trillions of different energies some of the most potent ones are Mana Ki, Qi Chakra, Divinity, Psychic and so much more.
And these are just the main ones that are found in most universes, So in their own universe they could be counted as an extra sense.
While the Sixth could be a danger sense like the spider sense.
'Whatever. It makes things easier. I'll have to look into the last one as well. Sense of touch. But I don't have nearly enough knowledge of the human body to complete that. Guess I'll wait.'
I looked at the Knights who now stopped looking for me, as they were just standing in one place statues, as they were waiting for me to come out as we both knew I can't level unless one of us dies.
As I took out my cell phone and look at the time
It was about 4 in the afternoon. So I started to train my body as I always need to get used to my ever-increasing stats…
While I did the normal routine of doing pushups with a finger while my legs were in the air.
So after a few more hours of intense training
for another couple more hours and got an increase of 1 point in strength and vitality stats.
I finished my training for the day and set down again.
'The exercises that had me wheezing on my first day are now nothing. In just a few days my body acclimated to the stress and improved beyond what I could imagine. My strength has drastically improved and so has my Mana beyond human limits. It's more than 75 times what I had when I came here.'
Even though I was fighting all day then I did some hours of training, and I wasn't feeling tired at all. In fact, I was more energetic than I had ever been.
'There are a lot of things I have to test. How long do I need to sleep for? I need to find the minimum body needed for a successful shadow soldier. I also have to use mana to enhance my last sense. But for that, I need to learn more about the human body. So gotta complete those last books... Ok. What else?'
I then pondered on my training methods. 'Need to increase training efficiency. Have to see if I can use meditation skills in tandem with the leaf concentration exercise shown in Naruto. Then try to do the leaf exercise while I'm training my body. That will improve my mana control level and I'll have more time. Time to get some reading done.'
I took the books on human anatomy or more especially on human skin the sense of touch and started reading it. As time went by I continued to read.
While glancing in between to see if something new occurred or did mages respawn but they didn't. After about 4 hours I placed the last book down and took a small nap.
I spent the next whole day training and improving on the skills I currently had. Since I couldn't turn off Stealth I only practised the mostly passive skills.
Since I can't create new spells here I decided to forego them for the moment and concentrated on increasing the current learning one.
So for the next day, I kept all my passive skills that could be in active form and all the active skills that only affect me like Haste, Laser Strength, Sprint, Mana Recovery Field, Mana Skin, and so on. While remaining invisible.
...
It was day two, and nothing changed besides the fact that the knights gave up on looking for me after ten hours, and now they just stood there like sculptures that were really well made.
And at the twenty-second hour, I got the notification that Stealth has leveled, and now with it the mana cost got smaller with it I also got an added effect that it's even harder to find me, with it is Presence Concealment possible to disappear and become extremely difficult to be detected. The rank of Presence Concealment will increase with the level of Stealth.
After 20 hours of doing nothing besides sitting in a single pose got in my head as it felt like I would die of boredom so I try to control and flow the new energy I got from the dragon vein.
But after six hours later I also gave up on it as I got to know that the new energy that I have was such a pitiful amount that I can't even take control of it and forget about moving it.
So after pondering some thoughts and getting a hell lot bored, it got on my nerves. Just lying and doing nothing did a number on me, which tends to happen when you have nothing to do and you can't move much.
Especially when you were in a fictional fantasy world with monsters. But I did control myself and started to focus on some healing spells.
On the end of the third day I successfully created the spell "Light Heal" "X-Healing" "Shine Healing" and last but not least "Heavenly Light" It's capable of nearly being able to recover and regrowing any wound you had, even main organs like lungs, heart, and kidney. But not mind, so if you sustain the slightest bit of injury in the mind the spell is useless.
I also create unique spells like Ray of Enfeeblement, Detect, Acid Rain, Explosion, and Hardening.
But after this, the boredom really got to me. And I felt like I would lose my mind if this continued any longer. As I did nothing more than sit in a place for 22 hours while two hours got in training.
So not to let this get in my head I one by one took out dead corpses of monsters that I saved since I started to clean the dungeon.
So I had a lot of corpses in my inventory and more accurately it was 2356 monsters
Most of them came from Labyrinth and the other B- and C-rank gates.
And this many were after when I sold the bad once in the market. That's how Yo Jinho transferred all that money into my account.
More days passed, and I was getting irritable, probably developing a screw loose by now...
Somewhere between the 5th and 6th day, it got to me.
…..
On the ninth day.
3rd Person/No one Pov.
In an open space with several people surrounding it, some intact and others destroyed, two groups of people could be seen one holding cameras and mikes, the other dressed in formal wear stopping them from going near to the empty space.
And it's just the fact that the place they were surrounding was empty, but the fact that it was too empty as nothing but the flat rocky sandy ground was to be seen in a very specific area of 1km.
As even though their soil in the area there isn't any tree plant or not a blade of grass was growing in this whole area it was totally empty of life.
As if life itself had abandoned the place. Or the place had no way to sustain life. And even the place was so big even an ant hill wasn't to be seen there.
And even just after 1 km, the area was filled with lush trees and grass.
This all indicates that there was something in the area that had just evaporated in an instant.
"Can you believe, my lovely viewer, that a mountain existed here just a few days ago?"
"As you can see, the association just allowed us to see the place but they still prohibited anyone from entering the place."
"Just a few days ago, on.... 9:30 pm the lavish mountain that existed here turned into a glowing pink ball and vanished. "
"I am aware how preposterous it sounds you don't have to believe just look around"
As the cameraman zooms in and shows the vast empty land devoid of any life. Then the camera again returns to the host of the show.
And it's been 9 days since this happened, and as soon as this happened it was watched by many associations and top guilds of Koria.
As soon as the disappearance of the mountain happened, the Hunters Association restricted the whole place and shifted anybody who lived around the area.
And even to this day the association heavily advises any civilian doesn't not to enter in the near vicinity.
Heretofore the culprit still hasn't been found and no one has taken responsibility for the incident... Even after the Hunters association fully cooperated with any guilds who were present here at the time of the accident, and saw the shadowy figure of the man who was responsible for all this.
And this is named Aakivara Incident.
...
These days have been a roller coaster of emotions. I was so excited just 3 hours ago. And now this.
*Crunch* *Crunch*
"Can you stop with this or at least eat without making sounds?"
"Come on Jinah don't be like an old granny I am just eating my Pringles" Said the young girl lying on my side on the couch, as she watches the most mysterious thing that happened these days... And it still is on the trading pages of many sides as people are presented with different theories to explain the astronomical phenomenon.
The disappearance of a mountain that was spread over one kilometer.
And it's not just that it was only trading in Korea, No, it got the interest of the whole world as the whole of Asia sent its researchers with even the US, Russia, and England sending their own investigators and researchers.
There are huge debates in online communities and there are even new sides created just for solving the mystery...
*Crunch* *Crunch*
"Jinah, relax. Everything will be fine... Yeah... Not even a hair segment of your oppa will be harmed... I mean, a little of my hair could be pulled out after all he does fight monsters... And a few scratches could be here and there, even that would be hard ... But otherwise? Everything will be fine." Han Song-Yi tells Jinah who looked visually upset.
As she watched the same reporter reporting the Aakivara Incident. While eating the Pringles.
*Crunch* *Crunch*
"And how do you know that?" I asked her in retaliation with a face that had lost its glow. as I had seen my oppa on hospital beds more times than I could remember.
In fact most of our bills involved hospital bills that little oppa has earned in the past few years has gone into medical bills.
By bills I did spend too much money in all that anger, He won't be angry with me, right?
I am sure he shouldn't after all the new home he had constructed did cost a lot and not talking about the fact that what I paid was only 30%.
Even if he is, I will just say sorry. I am sure my oppa can't ignore me for long.
Will he scold me for spending money like that?
Even if does, I don't care, I just want him to come back as soon as possible?
Aside from that, how does Han know about oppa and why does she sound so confident?
