Chapter 33 - Inherent Skills

Caelum still had a day or two until his sister would return home and decided to buy a car for them to ride when heading to Kedron city. He had already placed quite a large amount of money within his bank account then by using the skill of [ Magic Science Usage ] to hack and acquire a few things from other companies without leaving a trace. Even the best hacker won't be able to find the source of who was responsible because of magic. 

He was essentially a literal techno-wizard that allowed him to understand, change and modify technology using both science and magic. Though it doesn't just focus on technology but everything that branches within the fundamentals of sciences. Caelum created devices that hack specific accounts and acquire information regarding them.

It was for blackmailing purposes if he ever needed it to someone that doesn't deserve quick death rather slowly making their life crumble and fall while he trampled to eat dirt. He munched on the fruit made using the skill [ Ambrosia's Divine Heaven's Fruit Creation. ] that gave him more to satisfy his thirst for perfect apples. Caelum wasn't planning on just making a mythical fruit for now and ought to just satisfy him. 

He found the perfect car for multiple people to ride on and immediately paid for it. Caelum already made fake drivers licenses since he'll just use magic to trick the people when they look at his driver's license. The reason why he bought a car was out of enjoyment since it's always been his dream to own one. Though, he prefers buying a motorcycle but this would be enough to travel to his destination later.

Caelum drove his car through the town looking through the city feeling a wave of nostalgia. He had spent a considerable amount of time seeing medieval architecture that it felt strange seeing modern buildings now. 

He went to the mall and shopped for new clothes since his fashion was extremely horrible. He was greeted by the clerk who gave him suggestions for new clothes and came out with a simple inner shirt with checkered open up shirt and brown pants alongside a black Vans. 

'Not bad, though I still prefer a darker style.'

Caelum inspected his appearances, nodding to himself that he had worked to achieve how he looks now. He wasn't ugly and only be considered as a background character.

After a while, he arrived at his home where he found his mother had started to cook their meal. He frowned since she wasn't allowed to cook but decided it best for her since this would make her get herself back to living. Celine noticed him arriving, turned to see him bringing a paper bag and wondered what was inside. 

"Take a seat, Caelum. I know you're insisting on me to just rest but I can't help it."

"Relax mom, it's fine as long as you don't push yourself okay?"

"Of course, well hope you enjoy what I've prepared since it has been a long time you've tasted my home cook meal "

He was extremely delighted to finally have a home cooked meal made by his mother. Caelum quickly ate up and a wave of emotion came rushing in recalling the time when they would always eat this kind of meal for lunch. His mother giggled seeing how eager he was munching on the meal without rest.

"Hahaha relax son, there's a lot more where that came from."

Caelum continued to devour the meal since he didn't want to miss the opportunity to eat a meal made by his mother. He may be a better chef when it comes to cooking thanks to his talent but his mother's cooking would never be beaten. Once they finished eating quickly went to wash the dishes that he insisted on doing while his mother relaxed in the living room. 

He quickly finishes washing the dishes and joins his mother on watching the television. They saw the news that discussed the latest hit game called Eternum. 

[A/N: Eternum is an Adult visual novel. Try checking it out on Itch.Io ] 

"Virtual reality? The world truly changed when I was asleep."

"Well, I'm also surprised about that stuff."

Caelum chuckled while listening to the news and decided to investigate even further regarding the game. It seems a dollar within the game is the same as one in game currency. He praised whoever made the project since it would have taken them numerous research to finally create the game. 

Time passed by, the two watched some movies before they headed back to sleep. Caelum went to his room and took out his grimoire within his inventory. 

[ Godly Grimoire ]

[ Description: Only certain people are capable of forming a contract with a Summoning Grimoire, they're known as Rankers. By contracting a Summoning Grimoire one receives an Inherent Skill and a Guardian Beast. The Grimoire hosts the summoning Beasts and information about its owner. On the first page is a portrait, the status and Summoner Rank, as well as the Inherent Skills. On the second page is the Guardian Beast, followed by the other contracted Beasts. Each Beast takes up one page. After subtracting the personal information page and the guardian, every other page can be used to hold a contract with a creature that is made in the world either through meeting a monster in the wild or a copy of a common monster may be copied from one grimoire to another. Once a monster occupies one of the pages, a mage can cast magic to bring the monster forth directly from the grimoire. 

Additionally, Anyone who possessed a grimoire actually possessed a storage space. No, it should be called a realm. The higher the rank of the grimoire, the more perfect the world inside it would be! Due to being Godly rank, the pocket world is comparable to a perfect planet with verdant planets and mountain ranges. There are also simple animals beside the guardian beast.  ]

Caelum was slightly surprised that he had gained a pocket world to place the others later. He grasped the Godly grimoire before anything else in fear that it might backlash in the long round. He'll just place the other in the pocket room that he had made for now. 

'Inherit skills?'

[ Twin Stars:

Counterfeit : You are as cunning as a fox and as treacherous as a poisonous snake. You are like an usurping chameleon who lives under camouflage. You are a facade, nobody can see through your heart.

Mesmerising : When the person possessing these skills smile, it will trigger a special effect that would hypnotise the other party(only effective towards those of the opposite gender). Effect: The higher the level of 'Counterfeit' skill is, the stronger this skill will be.

Divine Heavenly Vision: You have eagle-like eyes and sage-like reactions. You are like a death god that sees through living things' souls. You have an all-seeing vision that sees through the world, so you'll be immune to illusionary or fake debuffs. 

[ Guardian beast ]

[ Phantom Divine shadow : A Special-type Guardian beast that is his own shadow. Being a guardian beast, it cannot die and requires no time to recover. Phantom Shadow has optional ∞ day summoning length

Twin Sword Goddess : A special Type Guardian humanoid beast in the form of Sword of Dark and Light, it is eternally summoned and hides in the tattoo on the owner's hand. It can cleave anything and doesn't have any weight. it can Appear as twin of Angel and dark angel ( Dark : Devour everything, void, Light : immune to all abnormal state and instant regeneration )

Perfect world : A Special Type Guardian beast in formless state that is eternally Summoned. it gives augment power and Power of law to the user and its ally and weakens their enemy. it can read memory of anything that was inside the domain and give it to the owner. ]

He noted that he had become impossibly stronger than anyone in the world upon seeing the skills provided to him. Caelum held out hands to see the two blades that both emanated darkness and light. 

'Greetings, master!'

'We are at your service, master!'

The voices of the blade spoke to him seeing that they have gained an Ego which is another way to say that they had gained their own sentients. He decided to head into the Grimoire dimension and quickly found that the energy within the pocket dimension was so dense that it would nourish the other rather quickly. 

Caelum understood the time within the Grimoire could be changed and decided to quickly make a place for his lovers by creating floating islands that have prestigious architecture. He wouldn't be able to introduce them to his family for some time but the time dilution would just make it rather brief. 

"What may we be of service to you."

"Perhaps service you right here?"

He glances at the two women kneeling before him. They were a pair of twins that had a contrasting color scheme. The two were the twin sword goddess that he acquired from the Grimoire Guardian beast.

"Unfortunately, we won't be having any battles anytime soon. Cereza, If I play Eternum, can I bring them with me?"

[ Yes, all your skills are transferred into the game without anyone noticing. ]

"Oh neat! Well for now let's make some golem automata then build the castle."

Caelum used his powers to create floating islands where it would be their home. He had infinite energy because of the [ Magicule Breeder Reactor ] that condenses the energy from Mana into Aether which is only below the stardust energy which is extremely denser than Aether. 

He easily built a beautiful home for everyone where it had multiple rooms and numerous things to occupy them. Caelum made simple golems that act in command similar to artificial robots. He is still unable to make an Ego and soul since his power had not reached that level yet. Though, he can devour soul later and analyze how to make one. For now, the simple servant would be enough. 

Caelum went to inspect his new home then headed to a throne room since he likes having one to show some authority. He quickly brought out his lovers into their new home who immediately grew stronger because of the dense energy of the grimoire world and spent the rest of the day letting them settle in. Once he managed to do that went to create a garden to use his [ Ambrosia's Divine Heaven's Fruit Creation.] for his lovers to grow stronger and made one to see how much it is able to boost him.

To his surprise it nourishes everything from his body, mind, energy and somehow his soul. He couldn't control his soul yet because Ki knew exactly that it was being nourished. Caelum uses the fruit to make some alcohol because most drinks won't affect his body. 

After spending a week within the Grimoire world went back to outside where etime hadn't passed as much. He decided to research eternum instead and acquire information about them. It took him little time considering the game is a hot topic that only someone in the countryside won't hear of.

'Those who collect the 10 Gem of doom would become the CEO and god of eternum? That's some SAO level type shit. Hmmm, three weapons? Meh, I don't care about that.'

He went deeper into the game learning that it had several servers with different themes which only show how much the game could provide. Caelum reorganizes his memories before checking the forms for the Krendon High School enrollment. The school is quite prestigious where the tuition is quite large yet many famous people graduated from the place.

'I wonder how the others are doing. Last time I saw Dalia and Penelope was when we were kids. Too bad we had to move out to another city.'

Caelum reminisced about the past before enrolling in high school as a fourth year student and easily answered the written entrance exam. He would have an interview a few days from now which was easy enough and decided to go to bed.
