"Power Attracts the Unwanted: The Consequences of Mateus in This World"

Sorry for the delay in updating. I had to take my mom to the hospital and spend the afternoon until the night accompanying her there. I hope you understand. Anyway, here's the chapter.

I'm very tired, if the chapter has a lot of mistakes I'll correct it tomorrow

Taking advantage of the late afternoon that Mateus still has, he thinks that since he's in a world with a ridiculous power scale, he should have a power ready to rival those potencies.

Setting aside another afternoon for training, Mateus also decides it's time to try learning new skills. With laziness and no inspiration, Mateus (the author), decides it's time not to innovate but to copy. So, he decides to learn a skill he saw in some anime.

After much thought and consideration, Mateus understands that the best choice for him now is the Gluttony skill. Why, you ask? For a lazy person like him, a skill that can consume others, learn skills from others (especially with an analysis skill, it becomes even easier), and even store things inside the skill's stomach is the perfect choice.

"So it's decided, I'll try to learn Gluttony first and then try to learn an analysis skill like Great Sage."

Without delay, Mateus starts channeling energy through his body. Focusing on his hands, he imagines a force capable of sucking everything around him.

Then, after attempts, what he wanted to hear came through his system.

"Congratulations. You learned the Black Hole skill."

"... well, that's not what I wanted, but okay. System, give me the skill description."

"Certainly:

Black Hole - Mastery 1: This skill allows the user to create and manipulate black holes on a reduced scale. It can be used for offensive purposes, gravitational manipulation, and even as a means of local transportation. The user gains control over the size, intensity, and gravitational effects of the black hole, providing a versatile and powerful ability. However, its use requires careful consideration to avoid unwanted consequences."

"That is definitely a strong skill. But my focus hasn't changed; I still want to learn the Gluttony skill."

Now with renewed enthusiasm, Mateus thinks of other ways to try to learn this skill.

"Instead of just thinking about a force that can absorb things, I think this energy has to be able to store as well."

'I better go step by step.' Mateus already knows how to absorb things, so it makes sense for him, instead of simply trying to absorb this time, to first see if he can store.

"I need something to try to train this skill." So, looking for what he wants, he sees that the simplest and most effective way to train is with his water bottle.

Then, using magical power, Mateus tries to place his bottle into something he thinks is like another space, or another world, call it what you want.

Then the not-so-new voice speaks to Mateus again.

"Congratulations. You learned the Inventory skill." Once again, give me the skill description."

"Certainly:

Inventory: This skill grants the user an extradimensional space to store and organize items. The inventory can be accessed mentally by the user, allowing for instant retrieval of desired items. The capacity of the inventory is expandable and adjustable, providing the user with great flexibility in managing their belongings. Additionally, the user has the ability to change the flow of time or even stop time within the inventory, offering strategic advantages and facilitating preparation in various situations."

"Excellent. Now I have a great inventory with excellent capabilities like stopping time. So now it's easier to try to learn the Gluttony skill. I just have to mix what I've learned about storing and absorbing."

Once again, and this time aiming for success, Mateus tries to learn the desired skill. So, using his magical power, absorbing and storing, he succeeds.

"Congratulations. You learned the Gluttony skill."

"Great. My effort turned out better than I thought. I not only got the skill I wanted but also two others that are equally powerful, hahaha. By the way, let me see the description of this skill."

"Certainly:

Gluttony: This skill allows the user to absorb any target by consuming it. After absorption, the user gains access to the skills, knowledge, and characteristics of the target. The absorption process is fast and efficient, transforming the essence of the target into energy that can be used by the user. Gluttony grants the user a form of continuous learning and adaptability, making them a versatile entity with a diverse range of abilities."

"I feel that things are even easier now than before." Smiling, Mateus thinks that with this system, he can really enjoy life and indulge in laziness.

Seeing the evening set in, Mateus decides he needs to take a break as his day has been quite eventful, from leaving his world to learning skills that could destroy the world. Surely, he is mentally tired.

As he prepares to sleep, Mateus can hardly think about the commotion his arrival in this world has caused.

Meanwhile, in the Underworld.

A pretty girl, small in stature yet not resembling a child, with unmistakably non-childish assets, speaks to one of the other individuals present in the room.

"Sirzechs-chan, did you feel that overwhelming magical power?"

A handsome man, appearing to be in his twenties, with crimson hair flowing to his shoulders and azure eyes, who goes by the name Sirzechs, responds.

"How could I not? Could this be the birth of a new God? What do you think, Ajuka?"

A young man, quite handsome and attractive with clear blue eyes and green hair, seemingly in his twenties, replies to Sirzechs.

"I can't affirm it yet, but it's certainly a powerful being. What do you think about sending someone to investigate the origin of this power?"

…

Heaven.

Some beings that appear to be angels sit down and begin to discuss this strong power that suddenly entered their world. As the conversation unfolds, one of the angels, who seems to be the leader of the group, says decisively,

"Before we jump to conclusions, it would be better to investigate what caused this surge of energy and discover the origin of this power."

All the angels then agree. Now, another discussion begins to determine who will be sent to investigate this case.

Around the world, various pantheons and factions start contemplating how to deal with this new being, seemingly of unimaginable strength. However, they all shared the same thought: "We must recruit this being for our faction/pantheon at any cost."

Meanwhile, the person in question is peacefully resting in their room, unaware of all the fun that awaits them. If they knew, they would likely say that all of this is too much effort and postpone it. But since they don't know, there's nothing to worry about, right?
