Thinker

We were now preparing to go back to our respective realities. Personally, for me, I wasn't that excited to go back, because going back means not seeing Echidna.

As much as I don't like it, it's not like I have a choice, aside from that I don't have anything to complain about though what happened this morning got me lost.

After Lucifer woke up, it was Echidna who woke up next. Honestly, I imagined she'd be mad, but she made no reaction at all as if waking up with another person other than me was normal!

Which is not by the way!

Both Lucifer and Echidna didn't seem to find it a big deal!

I was 100% sure that they made some sort of deal that I do not know of, which is frustrating. I wanted to know what it is!

I asked them but I was given the silent treatment, not for the first time, gods women are hard to understand!

Seriously, what are they playing here?! At the very least tell me the rules!

I could only scratch my head in frustration!

Suddenly Echidna grabbed my right arm and buried it in her chest. "I suppose we won't be seeing each other for a while as much as I dislike it."

Yeah, I agree but.

"Seriously, can you please answer my question? What the hell happened yesterday and why are you so calm even though I had sex with a woman other than you?!" Or I may not have sex with Lucifer at all, but I don't know that cause I can't remember anything!

"Well, I'm not supposed to tell you…or it would void the contract."

Contract?!

That's some devil shit you got there!

Oh right, Lucifer's a devil…but what the hell?!

I gave her a strange look, I feel like I'm being used right now, for her benefits but I wasn't really against it…however it doesn't mean I like it.

"Hm, you must've been thinking that I'm using you right?" Echidna closed her left eye, while the other was focused on me.

Damn, sometimes her cold reading is really annoying, she's reading me like a book.

There's no real reason for me to deny it anyway. "That's right…you know what happened to me before I met you right?"

"Mhm…I know,"

"Then why didn't you tell me about it?" I tried my best not to sound disappointed.

Slowly, she gently grabbed my right hand and buried her face in it, and replied. "I'm sorry, but I'm doing this for us, plus you know my title right?"

"Witch of Greed? What about it- oh…" Suddenly it clicked in my mind, the knowledge that's what it's all about.

Lucifer must've had one hell of knowledge, which makes sense as she's as old as the time itself in her reality after all.

"So, it's knowledge huh?"

"Yes."

No wonder, whatever deal they made in that 'contract' I decided not to care anymore. "I see, but please don't do something about it again, I've still got some trust issues you know?"

"I know, it's just I couldn't refuse the 'knowledge' she offered me," Echidna said with a sigh.

If it was anyone else, I would have thought of it as a terrible lie, but for Echidna knowledge was too important to her.

And as I hate to admit it, she might have prioritized it above me, that's just her nature, and at the same time cursed.

But I swore one day, I'll change that.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, it's time for us to go." Just like we experienced before we arrived in this reality.

A bright light covered our bodies, even now I still think Jesus is taking us to heaven.

Which is not, by the way, it's just how my humor works.

I gave my group chat members one last look and after that, we all disappeared….

Wait, I didn't see it wrong right?

Before I could continue my thoughts we all blinked out of existence.

—

I blinked as I realized I'm back in my reality, but seriously though I swear I saw Muzan before we came back from our realities!

"The heck…" I muttered that I decided not to think about it anymore.

I took a deep breath and instantly did not like the polluted air in my reality. I've been so used to the fresh air in the Demon Slayer Universe.

It would take some time for me to get used to this polluted air, looking around me, it felt strange. I've spent a half year in that reality that made everything from my original world feel alien.

Though it would be a lie if I didn't miss my world.

After walking for a while, I arrived at my home. It's been half a year since I've last seen this, also my mom.

I felt nostalgia just by looking at my house.

I approached the door and started knocking the door multiple times and waited for my mother to open it.

Still…I feel like I'm forgetting something important…

Then as the door opened, I saw my mother who I haven't seen for a whole half year.

I tried to smile but I saw my mother's furious expression and shouted at me.

"BLAKE MICHEAL ROBINSON! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU THINKING?!"

I was confused why did mom get angry at me for no reaso- oohhhh, I couldn't help but facepalm myself.

I knew I was forgetting something important!

It was the marks that I got from mastering the Breathing Technique! I forgot that they looked like tattoos!

"Look at me in the eyes, young man!" My mother's furious tone reached my ears and I immediately looked her in the eyes.

"Now, let me repeat my question…WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU THINKING?! Have you finally lost it and become a delinquent?! No, perhaps you're now in a gang?!"

"What no? You're wrong! This might look like a tattoo but it's not, it's just a birthmark mom." I tried to explain but failed miserably.

"Young man! I'm not blind! Did you think that I'm going to get fooled by that obvious lie?! Even a 3rd grader can lie better than you! Get inside now!"

Mom was absolutely furious, so there was no escape from here. I'm just going to accept whatever her punishment is, even though I didn't really lie.

Either way, it's not like her punishment couldn't be worse than sensei.

—

So, yes I got punished. I was grounded for a month but it doesn't really matter to me, it's not like I hang out with anyone after school.

Oh yeah, right I do but not anymore because of the punishment that was given to me.

Inside my room, I was laying in bed then I opened the group chat.

And I saw notifications.

[ You have received 1,000 GP! ]

[ You have received a Random Skill Card! ]

[ Automatically opening the Skill Card….]

[ Getting Random Skill…..]

[ You have received a Thinker Skill! ]

Hold on, what the hell is this cra-

I was immediately knocked out after I received my first skill.

The reason why I was knocked out at this time is that my brain couldn't handle the massive amount of information that was directly downloaded inside my mind.

—

After a few hours of getting knocked out, I opened my eyes and I felt like the world was spinning.

"Ugh…?" As soon as my eyes locked on a certain piece of furniture, suddenly my brain started giving me a massive amount of random information.

-This closet had been made 2 years ago, it has a noticeable crack on the right corner before it was sold the Creator of this furniture was having kinky sex with his wife inside the closet…-

What…?

What the fuck was this? How the hell did I know about that?

Then I looked at my computer and started giving other random information.

-Was bought by Blake Michael Robinson in the Daniel Computer & Gadgets for about 400$, has been used for the last 3 years, has been used for masturbation and the screen has been spilled with cum about 246 times…-

Okay, stop, that's too much information! After that, I tried using it several times before I got another headache.

"Ah, damn it, using too much of this skill gives you a headache! But thanks to that I've managed to know what my ability could do, it's cold-reading having the ability to accurately infer and extrapolate an incredible wealth of information from the smallest piece of data, this was certainly a useful skill to have, and a scary one if used wrongly." I've turned my skill off, I'm really thankful that this skill isn't passive or I'll deal with a lot of headaches each time I look around.

My brain couldn't handle that much strain.

It may not be the skill I expected to get, but it sure is interesting. Now I'd like to see what would happen if I use my skill on people?

I wonder what kind of dirty secrets I would know.

With a grin, I couldn't wait to try it on my classmate tomorrow.

—

Okay, most of you might not know this ability, this skill or power belongs to Lisa or Tattletale from a popular American web novel series called Worm, it's a really good story and I'd like you guys to try and read it.

Just a warning though, aside from the superpowers, this story is so damn realistic, it's nothing like your average generic Chinese Novel.

Also, support me on Pa.treon I've started putting advanced chapters here.
