Back to the reality in the patient room.
Aidan opened his groggily eyes and looks around just for him to realized that his vivid dream ended after jumping in the reincarnation portal.
He sighs then shook his head since he can't do anything about it.
As he is thinking about it, the door opened and the doctor gestured him to follow him out of the room. "The examination room is ready but I just want to remind you that you will be injected to fall asleep and send you back to your past memories until today, to reminiscence about all about it. Even though in our current technology, we still don't have ability to peek through other memories, but we can still study the brainwaves we got from your dreaming back to your past."
They went inside to another room and Aidan see few peoples wearing white clothes that somehow telling him that they weren't the usual doctors, but giving him vibes that they are scientists that the doctor called.
Aidan frowns but didn't mind this uncomfortable feeling of being eyed by some scientists that as if, he is their lab rat to study with some of their experiments.
The doctor told him to lie down on the bed then a nurse went beside him with an injection waiting for the doctor's signal.
As he saw the doctor nods to the nurse, the door was opened hastily that made some noises making the doctor to signal for the nurse to stop.
Then a staff that went inside was sweating profusely and panting while reaching out the piece of paper to the doctor. Only the doctor went paled instantly after reading what's written on it.
Aidan knows he is nervous then thought of something before sighing as he closes his eyes, '... For how long God knows that they are still watching me, but not trying to reach me.'
"Dr. De Vega, is there a problem?" A woman asks after seeing the paled doctor and frowns. She doesn't like wasting time. After being called by the Dr. De Vega and told her some interesting thing, she cancelled her experiment that has been scheduled today.
And she wasn't not the only one who frowns.
All of the people wearing white gowns went beside Dr. De Vega to know what made their strict friend feel scared.
[Aidan Lune: Classified X-Rank Identity Top Secret
Dr. Ramon De Vega, Individual Senior Physician - Region 7, Sector 5, Class B
Dra. Alfina Thomas, Individual Senior Medical Scientist - Region 7, Sector 5, Class B
Dr. .... Etc.
People above mentioned, you all required to report to the Information Department of Security Bureau of Mooneria City today.
Stop all intended examinations for the person said above.
No questions are allowed, but each of you will be brief once you reached the IDSB.
And lastly, don't show or mentioned this to Mr. Aidan Lune.
All people that have been warned, are have 2 hours to report. If not, each individual will be force to change their identities into a S-Rank Individual Senior Criminal - Region 7, Sector 5, Class A.]
Five scientists, two doctors, three nurses and one medical staff, went paled after reading the letter.
The nurses and the staff that just handed out the letter to Dr. De Vega are panicking but have been calm down by the scientists and doctors, even though their faces are pale just like them, they weren't panicking.
Aidan saw Dr. De Vega gesturing all of the people except him to go into the corner and started whispering.
'Ramon! If we weren't friends since high school I will think that you pitted us!' Whispered angrily by another older man with glasses, named Albert Fischer, aggravating other people.
Dr. De Vega raised both hands as he said, 'Calm down! You know that I won't do that to my friends! And think about the letter, they hinted us something...'
Which made the others to calm down and rereads the letter for a couple of times before raising their heads to look at their friend, Ramon De Vega.
'... You mean the government want us to continue the examination but with their consent first?' Daniel Montemayor, another scientist in the site, frowns and didn't bothered to hide his irritation. After all nobody likes to be watch for what they were doing. With addition that he is one of the leading Microbiologist in this kind of era too.
Dr. De Vega nodded and whispered seriously, 'That's only one, but the most important piece is, the kid didn't know about it himself. Think about it, if he knows his own credentials, he won't try to do a full body check up like a normal person today. And so, his claims about his unique physique is true, making this warning letter the proof.'
All of the people are silent because of this.
But one of the nurses blurted out subconsciously, 'But why the government is like this!? Waiting some idiots, which is us, to do the kid's examination?' Only to cover her mouth hastily after seeing all of them staring at her with expressions of, 'You're the idiot, your family is the idiots.'
Few seconds of silence, Dra. Thomas whispered her conclusion to others, 'We all don't know what's happening, we can only assumed that they have some serious information about the kid's physique but they are scared about it?'
'You said that he can 'curse' people that near at him unintentionally. But how serious is that?' One of the nurses whispered her thoughts out.
Dr. De Vega sighs, 'That's the problem.'
'What do you mean?' Dr. Thomas asked.
'I'll ask you all, what's the most scary thing that the government is guarding up to?'
'Smarter invaders?' One of the scientist named Roland Byrne blurted out the most common hated thing of the government in this era.
Which made the medical staff's mind to run amok and asks incredulously with wide eyes as he glances carefully with fear at Aidan, 'Then the kid is one!?'
Dr. De Vega flicked the medical staff's forehead before scolding him, 'Stop saying nonsense! That's not it! I'm not done yet!' And glances back to Roland before to others as he continued, 'And yes, you are right, Roland. But I can only assures you all that the kid isn't one. Now, imagine about a younger kid, let say ten years younger than him now... Then he caused some major incident that made the government wary of him but didn't dare to approach because they are scared of triggering it again?'
Jessica Moorse, a female scientist raised an eyebrow and stated a fact, '... But we all know that the government is not that merciful, right?'
Making all of the seniors silent while the nurses and the medical staff confused.
The seniors fully know how cruel the officials of this era to the things and individuals that have ability to exterminate humanity.
Dr. De Vega nodded and sighs, 'That's the next thing. They are sure that the kid is a legal inhabitant of this world and not from the outside.'
The other doctor named, Lyron Kingscrown snaps his fingers and finally got what his friend Ramon is getting at, 'You were pointing that the government is scheming something to harness his 'cursed' body to fight the outsiders?'
'But... Isn't that... Dangerous? I mean, it's always recorded in history, that planning something like that deviously will make a double edge sword, right?' Jessica Moorse rolled her eyes and shared a common thing in the book of history.
Making Dr. De Vega and other nods before sighing in resignation.
Then Dr. De Vega waved at them that the time is running out and told Aidan that the examination will be suspended and will be reschedule another day.
While Dra. Thomas thought of something and smiled, 'Now this is much more interesting... Of course, minus the warning letter... Jeez. Scaring me so suddenly like that.'
Aidan only nods at what the people in front were saying to him before getting out of the hospital. He can only guess what's the matter about them.
He can't blame them, after all he really caused a major disaster resulting of his birth city to turn into ashes. Literally, ashes. And taking hundreds of thousand lives in just a matter of a minute.
Just because of trying to show off excitedly and subconsciously because he knows that he got a power to protect his family from the beasts of the rift at that time.
Only to make himself fear his own power, confused for not knowing what kind of power he exchanged with his merits, making himself insane that time for the guilt of his sin, knowing that he took many lives just like that and the worst thing was, that the family he intended to protect was killed by him instead.
He was only five years old that time.
And now, somehow, he guesses that the people who are watching him after five years from his self-made disaster till today, are from the government.
In the wild, he knows, no, he can feel that he is reeking of bad luck that can cause disastrous thing to other humans. Knowing how merit can be obtained, he surely knows how it can be reduced. The moment he took many lives putting it in his achievement that he not intended to achieve in this lifetime, he is in a very bad side of the Book of Fate.
'Maybe not only the Book of Fate... There's the Book of Life too. And maybe, I will be watched by the Evil Goddesses or Deities to be their husband. Or maybe even the Book of Death will take myself it's own Apostle or something.' He sighs as he thought.
In the wild for five years, his negative merits reduces a lot, not instantly but slowly. From the start, he can't help but to use his own cheat to kill or annihilate the beast's camps.
He started to feel that each usage of his cheats reduces his merit a lot. But he has no choice at the time. So he didn't intended to leave a piece of meat to be wasted to gain Geno Points after killing them by using the power of Spirit Ring to apply into his Martial Spirit as his weapon.
Even the beast's Spirit Genes wasn't spared too. And so his merits is increases in negativity for full year.
At that time, he was like the incarnation of Gluttony, one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Only his merits started to reduced in negativity after reaching his four Geno Points in its maximum points, 100 points each. Because, every camp only consists of one specie, and so his ability to gain Geno Points from eating their meats reduces a lot until it didn't gave him even one point for whole body.
And yes, the only four Geno Points, Ordinary Gene, Primitive Gene, Mutant Gene and Sacred Gene.
No matter how he thinks for the behemoth beasts to be like Super Beasts in the novel, they only gave him Sacred Geno Points. He wants to copy what the protagonist in the novel did, five maximum Geno Points before ascending to the second sanctuary through the help of the Shop District of the Realm of the After Life.
With searching for Super Gene for four years, he merits reached negative tens of thousand points from near a million negative merits from the start when he lost control of his power.
Within this four years, he stop collecting Spirit Genes of the beasts. He throws out those are useless to him and saved those are useful. And within this years, he got to know what are his 'do's' and 'don't's'.
Even using the power of Spirit Gene gives him negative merits, and so, he was left with the power of Physical Evolution from consuming meat of the beasts to be his Geno Points. He cried for his relief that he can finally use one of his cheats normally.
Using his body, he continuously kills beasts without a mercy. For the reason that they gave positive merits that leaves him with conclusion that their fates are infected by the Chaos Element from invading other worlds. So killing them gives him positive Merit instead of negative one.
With an example of killing one ordinary beast that gives him Ordinary Geno Points. Each one of them worth 10 Merits, but with his consumption of their meats to reach 100 Ordinary Geno Points, it was subtracted by 7 Merits, leaving him with only 3 Merits. Then another subtraction again if he integrate the Spirit Gene with 10 Merits.
Speaking of Spirit Gene, Spirit Ring and Martial Spirit, he stopped using them wholly after seven months entering in the wild, because each usage gives him a whole negative 1000 Merits.
Depends, if he was forced to use it...
Or if he find the solution to his predicament to his cheats. And for sure, the answer is within the Shop District of the Realm of the After Life.
As expected too, his Spirit Rank didn't increase, leaving him still with one Spirit Ring that he got from Universal Graveyard.
His priority at that time was to reduce his negative merits while increasing his physical power. He really left with no choice but to choose that only path that was available at him at that time.
So, after he felt the eyes that watching him in that very moment he was near of another city, made him paranoid and made him went out into the wild again. He thought of every thing that he can think of for the owners of those eyes.
This happened for nineteenth times already before he finally concluded that they were from the government and not some crazy ass and lunatic people that wanted his power, after all it's much more comfortable thinking that they are from the government even if though they have hidden agendas or for the sake of 'humanity'.
Of course, in those five years living in the wild, he met all kinds of people in this current era. But split them up between his own two categories. Worth killing and worth saving.
For his merits of course. Merit, it only does matter to him now after his foolishness from the past. Then everything can be the second.
After five years, he decided to settle down in this Mooneria City to be his base of operations, but he ended up being in the orphanage. Because he is still a minor.
Age. That age fucked him up.
At that time, he finally realized how this world called Mundo works. And so, he cursed himself for his idiocy back there after being sent into the orphanage.
Why? Because he can't leave the city without an adult accompanying him.
He thought that his settlement was like those stories in the fantasy world. If there's a Guild, there should be an Inn too, as long as you spend some money, you can take refuge or rest in the Inn or Hotel.
But he didn't even thought of checking information including about it, even at the time that he was living carefree with his family. He knows that he became complacent subconsciously after having his cheat in this life time, that gave and taught him a very big slap-on-the-face lesson.
Until today, he can't hunt to decrease his negative merits for six years.
Yes, he can still decrease it inside of this city walls, but compared to the killing of beasts outside. It reduces his time very very much.
Now, his status consists of.

His physical body by no means mortal.
And now, that he is accepted as a Holder student of the Mooneria Academy. He expected that there will be a chance that he can go outside of the city to kill some beasts again.
As for why he is still not sure for this information, is because of the 'identity' in this world. Availability of information is based on his/her identity class.
So, fate is forcing him to work, 'Or else...'
He got a goosebumps again after thinking about this as he walks back to his apartment.
