Chereads / Twice a Failure / Chapter 5 - ch 5

Chapter 5 - ch 5

I doubt that I am one of the lucky few that have an active hero organ more than likely that is also a dead end like everything else in this dud of a body but if the opportunity arises I will definitely try and awaken my pancreas although no published research has shown any promising results although I doubt that anyone at the top would allow such research to see the light of day as it would endanger their position at the top of the food chain.

Randall had me moved to a luxury apartment in the upper districts with a wardrobe and he had me enrolled in a school nearby of course I don't start until next week upon my personal request to Randall in exchange I would have to inform him if Sarah plans to visit me as he already had me call her about my new residence while he was working to get me emancipated and my stolen inheritance returned with interest because I suffered abuse due to their neglect or at least that is the angle he said he was going for.

Since I have some free time I decided to head to local casino apparently there was no such thing as an age limit as people were unsure about when they might die at least before they they built these cities they tried to reinstate an age limit but that didn't go over well with the younger generation with super powers so the matter was dropped.

The casino was nothing short of spectacular in my two previous lives I never seen a more impressive casino the only things I missed was the drugs and brothel girls that used to wander about although some their best lighting was none not every girl could be beautiful quickly leaving that line of thought I headed towards the table games to get a feel for them I of course researched the gambling games of this world most weren't too different some required powers to be play so ignored those for the time being I made my way to a dice game that wasn't crowded (as I had a technique to roll exactly what I wanted) I placed everything I had on the table and began betting after three wins I easily had more than enough for my plans but too secure my place in the world I needed enough so I wouldn't have to rely on anyone again or at least not as much.

My wining streak was cut short of course I was released when they checked me after they changed the dice three times and they found that had zero cultivation or powers but they left me with a piece of advice telling me not to return of course I could as they had no way of proving I cheated but I doubt that they would try to handle it legally if I prove to be so lucky in the future.

There were some things about living in a modern world that a cultivation world could not compare like online shopping and same day delivery I was able to buy all the ingredients I needed sure it was somewhat of a hassle as most of what I needed was named differently but it was still easier than me going out to retrieve it myself although I was surprised to learn that about a third are not considered cultivation ingredients.

When they arrived I quickly got to work setting up my alchemist lab in one of the empty rooms it wasn't long before I started crafting potions and pills for my development I studied the publicly known versions of this worlds alchemist like the hero awakening formulas it was public knowledge because of the high fatality rate (most likely to discourage others from trying) that was highly likely to occur using this new found knowledge I was able to create a formula that should allow me to theoretically awakening both my cultivation and my heroic potential and hopefully it won't kill me.

Not wanting to ruin the rest of the apartment I moved to the bathroom stripped everything off and sat down in a meditative position in the shower and then decided to take my experimental medicine after I hesitated and worked up the courage to do so as I had watched the videos of what some of the failed hero medicines it wasn't pretty I mean one the videos showed a woman that literally exploded into chunks! Taking one last deep breath I took the pill followed by three potions and dove deeply into meditation.
