Wtf is this now?
Time? What do you mean by this?
As if to answer my questions, a system promt appeared.
[The power you have is the power to manipulate time however you like.]
What?! Is this like Julius Novachrono in Black Clover? If it is, this is so op!
[Scanning the hosts memory]
[According to the hosts memory, Julius Novachrono's ability to manipulate time is similar to the hosts, however the hosts power has much more there is to it than the mentioned character]
"What? What do you mean by nuch more? Wait am i talking to the system? It can talk now?!"
["Answering the hosts question: Yes the system has been upgraded when the host has awakened its dormant/innate power. As such the system can now answer basic questions only to its capabilities and the hosts memory"]
["Answering the hosts question: Your power just like the mentioned character is dependent on the amount of time you steal from the targets."]
["The time stoled from the enemies will be deducted to the targets time in this world."]
[The host can also do as follows:
"By stealing time from the targets, host can rapidly age someone, turning them to dust in a second. By decelerating and stopping time, the user can restrain other people and catch an enemy's attack. By reversing time, the user can heal wounds by reverting them to a state before they were inflicted, and neutralize an enemy's spell by reversing it to a point before it was cast."
"The host can also use the time stolen to peak at the past, present and future of yours or the target."
"Every time you stole the targets time it would be stored in your chrono heart. The time stolen would need to be just like mana, you need to make it yours before you can use it."]
'By making it mine you mean, my time in this world will also be stretched right?'
["Yes."] The system answered
'Wait by making it mine you mean i need to refine it?' I asked
(A/N: Everytime the system would answer it would start at this ( : ) so it would be that long)
[: Yes]
So my power is'nt powered by mana but instead time stolen from my enemies?
[:Yes]
So how did i stopped the time right now? Don't tell me?
[:Yes , the time is being deducted in your time in this world or lifespan.]
What?! Would i die if this continues?!
[:No, everytime you run out of time it would only use at most half of the hosts lifespan anything more than that would be dangerous as your power physically affects the host too. So be mindful of the time you are using.]
Uhm so how can i steal someones time?
[:The host needs to touch a target and mark it, after that the time stolen will go directly at your chronoheart to be refined, the chronoheart can refine it but it would be faster if the host will refine it itself]
So how can i make i refine the time? Do i connect it to my lifespan or just think to make it mine?
[:Affirmative, you would need to connect it to yourself and make it yours.]
Hmm. Sounds easy but it feels like its too op but theres a catch, i will die if i use it without stocking up time from others
[: The host may think its easy but it would need a lot of willpower and mental power to manipulate time, it only happened right now because of your strong survival instinct]
Hmm.. that's plausible. Anyway so i only need to make it so that my body would revert it on how it used to be huh
[:Affirmative]
Then i tried to will my power to heal my body, but after a few minutes nothing happened
So how can i will time now ughh..
[:You need to strongly think about what you look like before you took damage host. Being confident to make your power do what you want is also a must.]
Be confident huh.
I tried to picture myself reverting back to when i before took damage, more specifically after i ate the fruits.
Revert. Be confident. Think about it strongly!
After a few seconds of stabilizing and confidently will it, my power finally responded to me
It really work!!
My body is now reverting back to when it was before but even then i can also feel my bones and skin popping at its place
The pain that shot through my body is so unbearable that i lost my strength and kneel in the ground
So this is the price for the power huh. Sure enough this won't be easy, if it's others they would already die from too much pain but since from the time i'm only a child i already got used to pain so this much is atleast bearable
Is it possible to shorten the time needed to do this process?
[: Yes, the host only needs to will it. Your power depends on the users willpower and mental strength.]
So that means the stronger my willpower and mental strength the more i can use my power freely
[:Affirmative, caution the time used to shorten the process also means the more time used]
Meaning, if i used it to revert my body back and make it faster the more time used huh. This power is too dangerous if you're not aware of your lifespan
System can you alert me whenever the time more specifically my normal lifespan drops 50%?
[:Affirmative]
Then the system show my status window
Name: -
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Power: Time
Amount of time left: 110years
The thing that first caught my eye is the age, my power can really affect my body, i aged 5 years just reverting my body back
And i assume this amount of time left means if i can live for a hundred years, that is if i won't die from accidents or such
And sure enough people here can live more than a hundred years huh. Since this is a fantasy world this much is acceptable.
System what are the limitations of my the targets i can mark?
[:The targets are limited to living things only ]
So i can kill this damn boars huh
I heaved a sigh of relief now that i atleast have something i can use to escape this situation but still, these boars sure have a lot of time
I can see the average time of these boars tree's included. But there are too much numbers there also little insects
Since my power depends in my willpower and mind i tried to remove the time shown in others except for the boars
And i succeeded!!
Now only the boars have time in their heads
The average life of these boars are 50 years while the chief is 100 years
[:Warning, time will hit the 50% threshold soon. The host need to stock up time now]
I was shocked by the warning notification. Does'nt my time still iver a hundred? Why did it hit 50% so soon?!
[:Pause, is a much more time consuming than reverting your body back and the time consumed will increase the more time it takes too resume]
So i can't indefinitely freeze the time just because i have a hundred years huh. I thought i would be able to pause the time for a hundred year if i want to, to think that this is the case.
Well if my power doesn't consume much time them i would be too op you know so i guess this much would do
I hurriedly ran to the boars and mark them one by one after a while i already marked them the warning message has popped again and told me that the time is already at 50% and still decreasing so i have no choice but to resume time
By the time it resumed i immediately use my power to accelerate myself so i can run faster though this consumes time i already mark the boars, i just did'nt expect that it would take time before it ran out. 50 years is still a long time
The boars blinked and got enraged specially the chief when it saw that i dodge the boulder it hauled and started running again like i did'nt receive damage at all
"Humaan!! Catch it!"
The boars screamed just like a pig ofcourse and chase after me
Fudge they really are fast considering their size shouldn't they run slower or something?
Just like before i maneuvered through the forest so they would'nt be able to ram into me
And whenever they crashes into a nearby tree or boulders i use my power to stop them in their track just like what julius did when he's fighting licht
But perhaps because i lacked concentration and they're too fast i can't catch them with the chrono stasis julius used, i really need to practice after this, that is if i can survive.
