Currently Eric was driving the humvee. The excuse we had given everyone was that Carlton had crashed the car. We had also slammed the car several times into a tree until it was reasonably damaged.
I sat in the back feeling the Hyoksi in the air. The Hyoksi was amazing. I didn't even notice it until I focused on absorbing it. The amount in this humvee alone was stifling. After all everyone in here had already managed to activate Hyoksi long time ago.
Absorbing it felt no different than eating food. It was as if every single part of my skin had turned into a tongue. I could taste the Hyoksi with my skin.
It tasted cold and slimy as if I was eating flavorless jello. I could feel my body increasing with strength. After 30 minutes I stopped as I could not absorb anymore. I was full to the brim with Hyoksi. If I tried to absorb more I would vomit it out. I would literally vomit Hyoksi that evaporated immediately. In a way it was like food. In another way it was not like food due to the fact that I didn't consume or digest it into my body.
We reached back to the underground market and I jumped of the humvee. Everyone did except for Eric and Carlton. Eric sent everyone their wages. He sent me the remaining 7500 dollars.
I turned to leave but I felt Aliza's hand my shoulder. "Kid..." here it comes the final threat before I left. "Don't try to fuck with me, I mean it seriously. Do not even think that you can. run away from me. I will hunt you down and trust me, you will only have regret in your heart for the rest of your life."
Of course I would, with the full weight of a private military company anyone would be shitting bricks. A private military with the grunts being as slightly stronger than peak human condition. Even if I tried going of the grid they would still find me. Their tracking team was so good at their job they could find a fish that was released into the sea.
There was nowhere on this planet that I could hide despite it being 100 times the size of the sun back in my world. The main reason was due to the simple fact that giants, dragons,dinosaurs and other mythical creatures were not extinct and in fact existed in abundance. Everyone was also extremely short but they were usually given a one time potion that increased their height by a metre and half. Despite that they only grew up to 174 centimetres on average.
"Ok I get." I said.
"Do you?"
"Yess!"
Aliza gave me a death glare before leaving me alone. I walked away from her and went back to the shop that I had bought the memory enhancing potion. I waited in line just like before but the wait was shorter this time. I bought the pill and left the store. I booked a room in the same motel as before.
The potion increased my memory and my memory. But since this was Damien's body then theoretically I should be able to access his memory. Even if I could not gain his memories then I should be able to get his muscle memory at the very least.
I popped the pill in my mouth and laid back down. It was time for me to go back into my memories.

I woke up in a puddle of water. As I sat up my body instantly dried as if I had just not been sitting in water.
The memory lane was the same as before. It had not changed. The screens were still playing random clips from my life and the pages were turning.
There was a remote that I had previously not noticed the last time I was here. I picked the remote up and pointed at a screen before pressing the next page button. Teen hood! That was the name of the page. I kept turning the pages over and over and over until I had finally reached the page that I had started.
I tried again as I needed to find Damiens memories. Just because I was desperate does not mean that I would instantly gain what I wanted.
No matter how much I turned the pages I could not find any of Damien's memories. I had finally given up when I decided to press the source button.
TV
HDMI 1
HDMI 2
I moved the remote down and pressed on HDMI 1. I watched my life after I had turned into Damien brown. I quickly pressed the source button again and turned to HDMI 2.
I could not memorize the memories as they were not mine but after a while I had recognized that it was Damien's. Damien's life was pretty simple and lonely. The boy grew up in an orphanage. The orphanage was actually pretty decent and properly looked after the kids.
However Damien did not like that. He always stayed away from the other kids as he looked down on them. Anytime the other kids insulted him or mocked him he would completely lose it. He would beat them black and blue until they finally learnt their place.
At the age if 8 a new girl was brought to the orphanage. She always followed around Damien and would always try to befriend. One day Damien told her he would be friends with her if she helped him something. He asked her to meet her in the basement. After that he had killed her. That was the first kill of his life. The girl he had killed was the main characters long lost sister.
"Damn, I really did fuck him up." I said as I watched Damien strangle the life out of the girl after he had smacked her on the head with a baseball bat. Seeing such things done by a child was unsettling. Luckily for me the nerves of steel potions was still active.
I flipped the channel until I had reached a certain page. It read knowledge. I pressed the save button on the remote and felt the knowledge immediately transfer into my head as if by greentooth. I had used greentooth instead of bluetooth in my novel to avoid any legal problems.
