That's true, but it was Bell's to begin with lmao. It would be like me stealing your wallet, returning it to you, then demanding room and board at your house. XD He already knows Bell's financial situation, so it would make much more sense to offer him payment for those things.

That makes much more sense. Puberty lmao XD.

Been a while since I read this; so I don't remember the details. However, didn't he get numerous perks already just from gaining the base system or whatever? Iirc, he never even checked what all it did.

Right, but I'm talking about the physical locations of the countries; not the potential magecraft. The MC is from Japan; hence China is West of there (i.e. he shouldn't call Chinese magecraft 'Eastern' lol). The Author simply broke immersion here imo; most likely due to his own nationality. Kaleidoscope is typically based in England, correct? So HIM calling it 'Eastern magecraft' makes perfect sense (if anything he does or says can 'make sense' lol).

If we're being technical here, he is biologically half Celestial (or 'extremely powerful celestial being with godlike powers' if you don't conform to MCU lore). Celestials — basically gods of creation — are one of the most powerful races in the entire Marvel universe. The same could be said for whatever Ego's actual race is in Marvel canon. A half Celestial like the MC could probably eat ONLY harmful bacteria and disease-ridden food their entire life and notice no abnormal side effects (the dude literally held an Infinity Stone with his bare hands). The MC already has an 'alien' immune system in the first place, so alien food or otherwise would make no difference. I agree that foreign bacteria/diseases would probably be detrimental to a normal human from Earth, but the MC certainly doesn't fit that description.

Right, it seems like his DF is able to reduce things by at least 30x; so it would be much more effective to reduce his opponent's power — or something — rather than trying to buff himself.

I've seen this theory before, but just don't think it makes much sense. The Statute of Secrecy was officially established in 1692; so I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have any way of implementing it until the late 1900's — OR that it had anything to do with Voldemort lmao. Perhaps the Author of this story DID use this theory though. Either way, it can be assumed that the Trace isn't in this story.

I've definitely read this somewhere before...?

I know lol, I was just making a joke.... Thanks for the extra info though! XD

Hmm...maybe I missed it, or the Author went back and added it in later.
