Chapter 2 - Darkness Body

Alexander Wilde POV

After crying for a while I fall asleep.

I wake up 3 hours later.

Right now I am alone so I have a chance to check what is my Golden Finger.

When I received memories of my current life, I also received other information. I don't know how or why, but I have several abilities that could be counted as cheats.

The first one is Evolution. My body could evolve to adapt to my needs in a very short moment.

For example, I swallow poison. My body would begin to evolve so I am immune to poison on the same level or lower than what I swallow in a matter of minutes.

But it is not to the point I will grow gills if I was drowned at the sea.

At most, my lung would be able to let me hold my breath longer and my body endurance to pressure will rise so I have a higher chance of survival.

Maybe I could grow white fur all over my body and have stronger legs if I live on a snowy mountain for a long enough time.

Second, I have the Best Student. This rise my capability able to master something, I also learn faster. I can copy 80% of a technique just by seeing it once.

Of course, I still need time to master it to unleash the technique's full potential.

This cheat also boosts my ability to remember too, close to the Photographic Memory level.

Third I have Fortune Magnet. Fortune and wealth will always gather around me and people close to me.

Every business I start will always bloom. The deal I offer to other sounds very tempting.

I can start a funeral parlor and act like Hu Tao, but would still have many customers.

It's kinda make me sound like The Devil.

Forth I have Body Manipulation. I can control everything in my body to do things it shouldn't possible to perform, like moving my heart to the side or manipulate my blood.

With this, I can't die due to blood loss.

FYI those are not my Talent.

My Talent is a different subject and I still don't know if I have any or not.

"Son I am back with the Decypher!"

Great, time to see what I got.

"Amazing... To-"

"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We know that already, now do your job!"

The Decypher was about to express his surprise, but my father doesn't look like he wants to hear it.

The Decypher realizes it and gives him an apologetic look before doing his job.

He attached a piece of small square white paper on top of my Insignia.

Several unreadable writings appear on the paper, then they change and form 3 lines of words.

"Minimum Input 50%... Multiple Casting... This is... Maximum Output... 10.000 times?!"

Father begins to laugh loudly.

The Decypher explain my talents and to summarize it they are like this.

Minimum Input, this Talent lower the cost of mana being used to cast magic.

For example, I have 100 Mana, and throwing a fireball costs me 10 Mana. With this talent, I only need to use the cost.

While Multiple Casting let me use more than 1 spell at once.

Both are great, still, the last one is the best talent I have (Also my favorite).

Maximum Output. This talent amplifying the magic I use.

I can still use magic normally, but I can amplify the magic I use from 2 times to 10.000 times.

After learning about this father prepared a birthday party for me and plan to announce my Insignia and Talent at the same time, leaving me alone once again.

If tomorrow some people introduce their daughter or nephew to me I wouldn't be surprised.

"Enough bragging, it's time to test my theory."

I put my hand on the wall and begin to focus my mind. Suddenly a powerful shockwaves came from my hand hit the wall.

The wall still standing, but there is a palm mark printed on the wall.

"Damn, it hurts more than what I expect it to be. Still a nice result for the first time."

what I just do I copying a technique from anime I have watched in my past life.

Magic Bullet (Madan), an unarmed technique made by Nomura Fudo, the protagonist of Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism.

This technique using sheer muscle control to focus strength in one hand to unleash a powerful shock wave from a palm strike. It is strong enough to stop a swinging log. However, Madan is a blunt attack, so it is much less effective on objects and opponents whose bodies are not solid.

It is also worth noting that to use Madan, the user has to close be with the target. This leaves a serious disadvantage against objects, projectiles, and weapons.

Still, to think that with Best Student and Body Manipulation, I was able to copy technique.

"Sometimes my intelligence scared me." I say while my hand rubbing my forehead with a troubled face.

Maybe I could release a stronger attack next if I train my body more.

"Star finger!" I scream as I stab a spot next to my palm mark with both of my index and middle fingers.

Which I instantly regret.

"Bad idea! Bad idea!"

After that fail attack, I can feel my finger getting better and stronger.

If my memory is right Shaolin Monk has an exercise called "The celestial palm".

The exercise is performed by opening the palm and pressing the four fingers together, while the thumb is bent and kept on the side of the hand.

Maybe if I follow this exercise I could use Star Finger for real in the future.

There is also Iron Fist, Iron Head, Iron Shirt, etc. I just wish I don't end up being a masochist if I follow all of those Monk exercises.

No wonder Darkness's body was so tough.

Should I call it Darkness Body exercises instead?

Nah...

Too edgy even to my taste.

"Young master is everything okay?" Michael entered the room with a trolley.

There is a teapot set and assorted kinds of cake and cookies on the trolley.

"Yeah, I'm just testing something."

Michael POV

When I enter the young master's room I realize a palm mark on his wall.

"Young master is everything okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just testing something."

It was obviously made by the young master since I don't find any sign of battle and I am glad that he is alright.

But to think that he could do that much damage without any proper training.

Can it be...

That he awaken his past life memory?

It wasn't weird for powerful people to gain the memory of their past life. I am happy, yet I am also concerned about him.

He has great potential, but his potential will attract many people with bad attention to him.

Don't worry master, this servant of yours will make sure you have had a chance to bloom.

I swear that no harm will be done to you while you are still weak. After all, your parents take care of me and save me from my past.
