Chapter 9 - Bone Bender

The skeleton once again fell to the ground, giving adam the opportunity to counterattack. Adam raced towards the skeleton's skull and stomped as hard as he possibly could onto the rank 3 creature's skull. With another dry crack, the skull finally gave away under the pressure of the Kijin's foot, crushing it's forehead and killing the undead creature once again.

After confirming that the skeleton was Infact dead, he finally falls onto the ground, the adrenalin in his body returning back and getting flushed out, forcing him to finally face the repercussions of fighting a over-whelming and undying opponent.

His thoughts about his stupidity were disturbed as 3 golden yellow orbs rose from the skeleton's body. Adam dragged himself to the orb and grabbed it without hesitation.

"Please show me my status and the genome as well"

[Does the host accept the skill or reject skill?]

"Accept" Adam says unhesitant to the damage possible. The skill might have it's demerits, but he can get more DNA to simply improve control.

[Congratulations to host, improving physique in 3... 2 ]

"Wait what?" Adam braces himself for pain never felt before, if the novels were even a tiny bit true, this was going to be deadly. Yet his thoughts betrayed him as a flow of energy nourished his body, forcing his body to grow taller and stronger, causing him to lose mana and aura at the same time. But strangely, his body regained it's storage of mana just as fast, forcing his mana bearing organ (Will be named later) to expand.

(Just a note, because this is inside of his mind, the mystery robe man is healing him simultaneously, allowing him to recover as fast as he is losing nutrients and mana)

"Please show me my status?" Adam asks sincerely. Since he is heavily reliant on the system to survive, better to have a good relation with it instead of being an over-dominant little fuck who abuses his system, he wants to live peacefully okay?.

"System, could you explain how did magic hardening improve?" Adam needs to know if his thoughts are correct, because if it's right, he has a new, somewhat abusive method to grow his skills.

[For the host to unlock more information, please go out into the real world.]

'Again with the same response. Wait a second, what are dream worlds, and why am I in it?.' Adam quickly uses his critical analysis skill and figures out what he needs to ask.

"Explain dream world?" Adam opens his ears and listens to each word carefully and decides to start writing the information down in English, a language unfamiliar to the orc that was currently watching him.

"Wait a second. Isn't this the runic language?!!. How does a newborn Kijin understand the universal tounge?."(I meant language of the universe.)The orc whispered in shock. The guardian is supposed to be extraordinary, but this is just a Kijin. How could it possibly comprehend a language written by the creators of the universe?

[A dreamworld is the world of imagination or illusion that any being is lured into after being knocked unconscious or while sleeping. Certain individuals may even train in this world, could be to sharpen their skills or for ahm cultured dreams ] The System explained slowly, perhaps understanding that he was writing notes. Being kind to the system has it's own advantages after all.

Adam wrote all of that down, his face giving a priceless expression upon reading his notes.

[Moving on. To get out of the dream world, one must exhaust all their mana, or leave and create a new password so you may leave the word upon executing or saying the command]

"And how do I fix a password?" Adam asks curiously. So his cheat might actually work.

[Just go to the system log and enter your password, or simply say it out right now]

"I'll just say it out now" Adam really couldn't see the system log. He might have to get stronger to unlock those features." "Please set the password as Nimrod". It's a simple password, and he probably won't forget it. It is one term that this world is unfamiliar with.

[Forcing host out of the dreamworld. Please be sure to leave a 5 star rating on the system device store]

Adam was suddenly flushed out as his surroundings distorted and he found himself in front of a fidgety and sweaty orc. It was the man with the leather robe, his ogre face no longer blocked by his dark, boar head hoodie. His neck was still adorned by the huge bone necklace with a bunch of orc tusks on it.

"Nice to meet you guardian. I'm Toskr, the Rank 3 orc warlock, and I'll be your new trainer"
