CHAPTER 2

[Use unique skills (Kanca pati)? Yes/No]

"Yes!"

With a voice that sounded mechanical and monotonous, Miss A.I started asking questions inside my mind, nodding in confirmation.

I began to activate (kanca pati) with full control.

Meanwhile, the light around me began to dim, as if (Kanca Pati) was absorbing every particle of light around me, creating an illusion as if a black hole appeared and began to absorb various materials around the event horizon.

Meanwhile, a series of ancient texts that looked like Javanese script began to appear floating around me. Hundreds of light particles originating from pieces of silver Wolf meat began to appear flying towards the place I was currently at.

[Unique skill activation (Kanca pati) detected]

[Distillation of dark energy into pure energy begins]

[ꦥꦼꦩ꧀ꦧꦼꦂꦱꦶꦲꦤ꧀ꦏꦺꦴꦠꦺꦴꦫꦤ꧀ꦝꦶꦩꦸꦭꦻ]

(Kanca Pati) or better known as the friend of death, is a unique skill that has two main functions, namely Death Energy Manipulation and soul manipulation.

While Death Energy Manipulation itself is an ability that allows the user to control or manipulate death energy for various purposes, such as attacking enemies, healing oneself, or creating an energy field that can be used for defence.

And finally, Soul Manipulation is an ability that uses death energy as a catalyst to move, erase, and damage the user's soul into a parallel dimension at a critical moment to avoid death.

As a unique skill, (Kanca Pati) gives the user higher control over death energy, providing a strong strategic advantage in combat and other dangerous situations.

Although it is not a very destructive ability, but it is certain that (kanca pati) is a versatile skill.

Well at least that's what Miss A.I told me earlier.

Seeing how the particles of light that started to get trapped in the series of Javanese script text, I smiled slightly feeling something enter my body.

Slowly the hundreds of particles of light began to reduce to tens until they completely disappeared with the Area beginning to return to normal.

[Note: The death energy has been purified into spiritual energy]

[(Kanca pati) has been deactivated]

While (Kanca Pati) had been deactivated, I could still feel the magical energy still being transferred into me when I opened my eyes.

It felt as if I had been rejuvenated, making me feel refreshed and as if I had been born again.

"Ha~ so this is what it feels like to absorb magical energy? I seem to be addicted to the taste" I said with a slight smile at the corner of my lips.

Letting out a short sigh, I refocused my vision to look around. Feeling how the foreign power that entered and assimilated into myself made me a little happy.

Deciding to move from where I was currently standing, I again began to slowly explore every corner of this forest.

Today it seems that the forest looks quite normal, yes it's not like I know how this forest usually works but still if I put aside the fact that this forest has strange looking giant trees along the way.

I can guarantee that all of this looks normal. Although a few times I saw small spirit creatures that looked helpless but still, it was all a facade that they used to deceive their many victims.

Damn! I still remember a while ago I almost became the meal of a tiger because that evil rabbit trapped me. But as the saying goes "experience makes one stronger".

I took that experience as a lesson not to help Spirit Beasts too easily in the future.

After wandering around for quite a long time I finally reached an ordinary, abandoned cave without any spirit beasts to disturb my inner peace.

A perfect place for me to call home, while I want to learn to control (Kanca Pati) much better without the help of Miss A.I.

Firstly, as I have explained before, if (Kanca Pati) has two functions, namely Death Energy Manipulation and Soul Manipulation.

The former function of Kanca Pati is much more useful in battle, allowing myself to control death energy for various purposes such as attacking the enemy, healing myself, or creating an energy field for defence.

While the second function can be an ace in the hole, allowing myself to transfer, erase, or corrupt my soul to a parallel dimension during critical situations to avoid death.

Death energy might sound confusing to some people, including myself before. However, according to Miss A.I's explanation, death energy is related to every living soul.

When a living being spends its life span, it generates death energy within its soul. For example, if a living being has a lifespan of 100 years and has already lived for 50 years, then the death energy accumulated in its soul is half of its total lifespan.

And that is what I use as the main catalyst of my power, although kanca pati cannot necessarily control death energy directly especially from strong individuals.

It also allows me to draw death energy from people weaker than myself.

Capitalising on the explanation given by Miss A.I earlier, I activated Kanca Pati again.

The aura around me began to change, and with full focus, I saw several ancient Javanese script texts begin to take shape, pointing all of them towards a nearby tree.

I could clearly see that a dark mist began to billow from within, creating a suppressive aura for the surrounding living beings, especially for those with low morale.

THen, activating Kanca Pati once more, I concentrated my mind to reshape the death energy in front of me into a spear.

Eight dark spears appeared before me, glittering in the air like seagulls in the sky.

"Did this work?" I asked, as I began to control the eight dark spears in front of me, aiming them at several trees around me, which then seemed to wilt slightly and lose their vitality of life.

"So not only does it allow me to take the death energy of others but it can also drastically reduce the life energy of others"

Wait a minute!!! Isn't this skill very broken?! But why is Miss A.I saying this is just an ordinary unique skill that isn't very powerful?

I mean just imagine if I met a cultivator in those Chinese cultivation novels, wouldn't I look like the natural enemy of those who always cherish and seek longevity?

Hoho~ just thinking about how all those Chinese cultivators would react makes me excited. After all, if the explanations in all those cultivation novels were true, wouldn't it be like an abundant energy field for myself?

Ah~ just imagining it makes me excited to take the death energy of a thousand year old cultivator.

But all of those things are still a long way off, after all, I am currently just an unknown little spirit.

Firstly, let's prepare a plan for a pleasant life in the future. Although I don't know if I will acquire a more human-like form after evolution in the future but still let's plan a happy life with all the future harem members!

■□■□■

And just like that a few days have passed since I arrived in this world and during that time I've also tried to adapt to the spirit body I currently have.

Although I still have to admit the fact that the human body is much better than this, but it's still better to be grateful for what is there than nothing at all.

But as the saying goes "for every flaw there's an advantage" this new body doesn't seem to be able to feel hunger, nor does it seem that I need to sleep even though I've been trying to sleep for the past few days but still this body is the dream body for the NEETs in my previous world.

Also after absorbing many corpses of spirit creatures scattered all over this forest like a hot potato, I can loudly say that I've grown strong enough to increase my survival percentage from 2.45% to 10%.

Yes I know it's not a huge and luxurious increase like most other isekai protagonists, but well it's all the result of my hard work.

So I will still cherish the result no matter how bad it is. After all, I still have hundreds of years left to grow even if I am only a Lesser Elemental I can at least live for 500 to 600 years.

But still, with that much time I'm sure I can grow to at least be strong enough to protect myself.

Oh! Speaking of increasing strength, I'm currently training my fighting ability directly.

Meeting a spirit beast of the same level and even less than 1 year old is a blessing in itself.

Besides, I can use it as a training target to sharpen my fighting intuition.

"(Magical Wall)!!!" My scream filled the forest, enveloping my body with a magical protective layer formed from some complicated Javanese characters.

The ugly monkey's punch sent vibrations through my barrier, forcing my body to retreat quickly. While moving backwards, I mobilised the magical energy inside me and slowly began to create a spear of light floating in the air.

TEn spears of light appeared, darting towards the enemy with lightning speed. However, with stunning agility, the monkey dodged the attacks, jumping nimbly while letting out a terrifying roar.

"You monkey!!! Why don't you just shut up and die quietly!!!" I said in exasperation while my eyes narrowed as I stared at the enemy in front of me.

The monkey launched a new attack with brutality, but this time, I was ready. With care and concentration, I dodged each blow with quick and agile body movements, while looking for an opening to strike back.

"Energy Manipulation! (Earth Prison)!!!"

With a short command, a 10-metre-high earth wall formed in front of me and successfully held the monkey at bay. Surrounding it from all sides with the earth wall, I managed to lock down its movements.

But seeing how the monkey struggled to break through the (Earth Prison) I created, I decided to fly even higher. A gentle wind blew across my round body while I began to create energy fluctuations again in front of me.

This time, I united the element of light with the element of earth, creating hundreds of 3-long needles ready to rain down on the monkey below me.

After a few days of research I discovered the fact that the manipulation of death energy could not only focus on its basic form. Rather, it can also be moulded into several elemental elements with a good dick.

"Energy Manipulation! Light Element + Earth Element (Silver needle)"

An ice crystallisation began to condense and harden in the air while the earth element began to transform its elemental base into silver, creating a sky filled with the sparkling glitter of hundreds of needles in the air.

As if dancing in the sky hundreds of (silver needles) began to sway before raining down on the monkey. I gave a mocking smile at the monkey below me.

The monkey's reaction was obvious. Its eyes widened in fear as it tried to dodge the onslaught of needles, but some managed to stick into its body, causing it to grimace in pain.

The smell of soil soaked in pools of blood filled the air.

Seeing how weakened the monkey was, I didn't waste much time and started manipulating magical energy again.

"Energy Manipulation! Ice Element (Iceberg)"

With a short command, I created a not-so-big chunk of ice above the monkey's head before dropping it.

Rumbling sounds rang out as the block of ice fell with terrifying speed, crushing everything in its path. Blood and flesh scattered in all directions as the chunk of ice struck the monkey beneath it with devastating force. I could feel the strong vibrations on the ground, as if nature itself was responding to my power.

"Hah~" a satisfied smile spread across my face as I looked at the results of my fifth victory in this forest.

[Congratulations sir, on your brilliant achievement]

Well it seems that Miss A.I also recognised my strength, but seriously this battle that didn't even last more than 10 minutes really drained the energy reserves still inside me.

Although I'm already quite proficient in using (Kanca pati), but it's still impossible for me to take away the death energy from my opponent in battle.

It seems that my path to the harem is still a long way off.
