Chapter -2 Abilities.

Chapter -2.

I clicked the draw option and the roulette started spinning at an incredible speed, then after a few seconds it slowed down and stopped ultimately.

Ding… Acquired the "Metamorphosis" ability.

[Metamporphosis : Allow user to transform into any living being without restriction.]

"Wow, I got a pretty useful skill on the first try."

At first when I saw that there weren't any abilities names on the roulette slot, I was worried I'd be scammed out of three free draws, but apparently that's not the case it seems now.

"Okay, so metamorphosis is first, let's see what comes up in the remaining two free draws."

Feeling a bit excited, I turned to the other side of the bed and clicked on another draw. At the end of the roulette draw, it seemed my luck wasn't so bad.

"Hmm... First I got metamorphosis, then Instant Magic Regeneration, and finally Mind Shield. Looks like I've hit scored big this time."

At first glance, the abilities may not seem like much, but from my perspective, it was a certain amount of security i had somehow acquired without doing much or even taking a step forward. And to tell the truth, these three abilities were somehow perfect tools for me to mess around with the story.

[Instant Magical Regeneration: Instantly restores the user's lost or used magical power. Each time this ability is activated, there is a small chance that the user's magical power will increase by a certain percentage.]

[Mind Shield: An ability which allows the user to protect user's mind from any kind of invasive attacks.]

Ding… the free draw has ended. Good luck getting a new draw.

'shouldn't there be some kind of requirement, or at least a mission, so I know what I have to do to get a free draw.'

That's what I thought, reading the notification of the new system. But as there was no one to respond to my question, I waved my hand, closed the translucent screen, and walked over to the mirror in my room.

Unlike my previous life, in this life I inherited my mother's long black hair and my father's blue eyes, but my facial features are a little chubby due to my love of food, so they're not perfectly sharp. Still, I'm pretty satisfied with my appearance.

Looking at my self in the mirror and following the instructions to activate my ability, I muttered : [Metamorphosis]

The instructions were simply to create an image in my head of the person I wanted to transform into. And since that image was already in my head, the moment I chanted the spell to trigger the ability, my body temperature began to rise.

Sizzle.. sizzle..

Suddenly, hot steam rose all over his body, as if i was boiling underneath something, and the signs of it were clearly visible all over my body.

"Aren't these the same signs i saw when they drank Polyjuice Potion?"

When Harry and Ron had taken the Polyjuice Potion in that noisy ghost lavatory, they had sign of their skin boiling all over their bodies, so when I saw the same thing happening to me, I knew immediately that was the cause. And seeing this nearly painless transformation, I knew that no matter which option I chose, the transformation process would be the same.

Crack..

As my body finally began to change, the tiny clothes I was wearing began to completely rip and my small stature began to grow rapidly and didn't stop until I reached 6'4".

"Damn, curses, I completely forgot I was pretty tall in my past life."

I cursed under my breath as I saw my past self standing in front of the mirror in tattered underwear.

I was a little disappointed with how I looked, but a small smile formed on my face as I saw that my "metamorphosis" ability was working perfectly.

But as soon as I noticed the torn clothes on the ground, I realized how severely my mother would scold me for tearing apart the clothes she had brought from me on my last birthday.

"Sigh, I'm sure she'll scold me for sure. At least father will be happy."

I smiled and thought that since I've been well behaved since my reincarnation, neither my mother nor my father had a chance to really scold me. And now that I've done one thing that deserves a scolding, my father will be really happy, because now there's another person beside him who will get nagging from his wife.

After making sure the transformation was complete and there were no flaws with results like having a body part missing or anything of sort, I undid the transformation and then walking toward the wardrobe i put on different clothes.

At first, I had thought that transforming my body and maintaining that state would consume magical power. So with that I had intended to test the strength of instantaneous magic regeneration, but I realized that I didn't need magic to maintain the transformed state, so I had to switch to another method.

But at the same time, the other methods had to be put on a halt too, since a wand was needed to cast any kind of spell that consumed a small amount of magical power to activate its abilities.

Well, I wish I could do wandless magic, but that's not possible.

After a few tries, I realized there was no way I was going to get a wand before i receive that damn acceptance letter or the time I turned 11. So, with a fair bit of arrogance, I set my sights on mastering wandless magic, but I soon discovered that the reality is often different from my mere arrogant thoughts.

Well, that time frame was a lesson in humility for me.

Ding… Ding…

There was a ding on the door.

"Are they back?" I thought as it has few hours since they had left, but quickly realized that if they were, they wouldn't have rang the bell and just walked in.

Anyway, let's open the door.

I closed the door to my room and went outside, rushing to the living area. As the dinging sound of the bell continued.

"Oh, I'm leaving now, so don't ring the bell."

Swearing under my breath, I finally got to the front door and opened it to find an old man standing there.

"Uncle Moody! It was you."
