Chapter 6 Features

After a while, Eero walked outside the alley, slowly and thoughtfully looking around. Few individuals passing around gazed at him then walked away without caring.

Eero felt a little awkward looking at everyone around. Now he realized he hadn't socialized with anyone in those 11 years.

Looking at everything around—different types of hovercars and humans walking around—he was surprised and became a little curious, recalling the features of Dragon World in his mind.

It seems there are capsules that can shrink inanimate objects down to pocket size, robots, and other near-future science fiction are commonplace on this world.

Eero walked on the sidewalk, looking at the buildings around. He was amazed; the architecture is also more advanced. The buildings are usually rounded, often employing spherical or ovoid sections held aloft by a cylindrical stem. It reminded him of those water tanker structures on the original Earth.

Also, there are Qi and certain elements of magic coexisting with advanced science. It is a planet inhabited mainly by humans, but other races and species also reside on this planet.

While he was walking, he noticed something moving in his pants pockets, grabbed them out, and looking at three cards in his hand, he was surprised. There is an infinite pattern above—nothing else. Just as he was about to turn the cards,

Ding!

Instantly hitting a pole, almost destabilizing him. His forehead became visibly red; a bump protruded out. Eero started rubbing it, suppressing his painful tears. 'It seems my luck is exhausted. Who put this damn signal pole here?' he thought angrily.

"Ha ha, watch it, Kid. Look at the direction while walking," a few pedestrians stopped, laughed, and one of them reminded teasingly.

"Arigatou," Eero nodded, thanked, suppressing his embarrassment, then walked away thoughtfully.

'It seems I have to learn and understand Japanese fully. I can speak and understand it, but I can't decipher and transcribe written Japanese. I have also learned Chinese and Korean, especially for entertainment.'

After learning a lesson, he appeared beside a shop in an empty area, sat down, and started looking at the cards while rubbing the bump on his forehead.

Turning them around curiously, looking at "traveling benefits" written on the head section of those three cards,

"Panel," "Portable Home," and "Money" are written in the middle section.

Then looking at the "use" written at the end,

Eero muttered, "Use." Curiously,

Instantly, all three cards turned into gold-purple particles, merged with his skin, and disappeared.

[Panel Activated]

A purple-gold panel popped up, expanded into three sections in front of Eero. Looking at humans walking around without noticing anything, no one paid attention to him.

'It seems only I can see it.' Eero thought to himself.

[Status Panel]

Name: Eero

Level: 0

Body: 0.18 [1 normal adult]

(0.06 strength, 0.06 agility, 0.06 stamina)

Soul: 3 [1 normal adult]

(1 IQ, 1 Spirit, 1 Will)

[Note: All ratios of sub-stats will be kept balanced, under the rule of Infinity Talent.]

[Cheat & Skill]

Cheat: Time Domain

Level: 2 Fold

Skill: (Shameless +1)

[Storage Panel]

(Portable house)(1 Billion Zeni)()()()()()()()()(00)

Looking at the Shameless+1 at first glance in the skill panel,

Eero was speechless, then glanced at the whole panel, which is decent and convenient in his view. He can also open a single section for easy viewing instead of opening it fully. Also, he has infinite storage slots and can store anything.

Checking the portable house and 1 billion dollars, a smile appeared on his face. Now, basically, all his needs have been solved.

'This is probably because of my vow to be self-sufficient and independent without needing anyone. That's why my talent gifted me those benefits. Also, as a six-year-old child, I can't buy a house and earn money.' Eero thought to himself.

Next, he has to find a location to release the portable home and also check his talent.

Eero then thought of activating the cheat ability.

Instantly, he felt a spherical, invisible domain expand all around him, reaching two meters in diameter. He is the center of this domain.

Eero then hurriedly dismissed the domain, confused, feeling his stamina almost exhausted. 'It seems the domain has other limitations and functions.'

Thought about other usages of the talent domain.

'First try control and shape change.' Eero sensed the domain and then tried controlling its shape. Instantly, he felt he could control it easily and bend it in any shape; he could even reduce its range.

Under his control, the domain layer covered his whole body very easily, like butter spreading on bread.

'It seems I can easily control its shape in any way I want.' Eero thought and then suppressed his excitement, looking at people's moving around; their movements slowed down in his eyes.

'It's not their time that is de-accelerated, but my own time is accelerated,' he thought to himself.

Started testing other functions of his cheat.

Below are the features Eero found out after testing and analyzing the domain.

Domain De-acceleration: Inside the domain, the talent will de-accelerate everything, except Eero.

Domain Acceleration: This domain will work as an accelerator for Eero if he shrouds it on his body as a layer.

Domain Shape: Domain can change into any shape and resize easily.

Domain Effect: has no other effect except acceleration and de-acceleration.

- 2 Fold Limits: Can accelerate Eero's time and de-accelerate everything else by 2 fold or double. Eero can also control the ratio from 1.1 to 2 folds easily; the usage limit is 2 seconds per use, depending on stamina.

Finally, domain size is 2 meters in diameter.

Checking all features,

"It seems my 11 years of knowledge is the most precious; it helps me identify and define any talent," Eero thoughtfully commented after exploring all features.

'But it is risky to use the domain as an accelerator for me. If suddenly a six-year-old child like me starts moving at double speed and reacting in those human eyes, a lot of covetous eyes will follow me, and my life will be in danger. I don't want to die prematurely in my first-dimension travel; I should use it in secrecy or in danger.' Eero thought to himself, then dismissed the domain.

"Graaawl!"

Listening to the growling sound emitting from his stomach, Eero felt extremely hungry. Looking at the shops around, all buildings here look alike. Finally, he detected a shop. 'It might be the food shop.'

Eero curiously walked inside, looking at a huge shop filled with food and sweets, also looking at the menu he doesn't understand.

Then, he asked the staff lady standing beside the counter, "Elder sister, what is that, that, and that?" Pointing at three things he felt might be delicious.
