"Orc blood, Orcs are known for being big strong green giants, who are stupid as hell, well for me those things aren't important, the thing that interest me the most is their amazing regeneration powers" Jax used [Appraisal] on it.
[Flask of orc blood:That flask contains blood of orc. Legends say orcs descended from more advanced species]
"Thanks to being level 10 already I can do something with it" Jax smiled, when he created toys and games, he gained EXP which surprised him so he asked system about this.
[Host, do you remember when you choose path? It was said that scientist path is about experimenting and creating, and you created things, if they were completely new, or you had craftsman path you would gain even more levels]
Jax was happy about it, and continued to gain more exp. At level 5 and 10 combined he gained, three abilities and three skills. [Researcher Eyes] is ability that allows him, to see details of things, like deformations, mutations etc., another ability was [Experiment Log] it allows him to gather all possible data from experiments and research he conducts, third one is [Mana Sense] allows him to see and interact with mana. First skill he gained is [Dexterous Hands] his hands doesn't shake or move unnecessary, and are very precise. Second skill is [Mana Control] this skill allows him to control mana very easily and with much higher precision. Third one is [Focus] which allows him to never lose concentration during experiments. Thanks to all that, Jax was confident about his experiments. He took a cage, in which was a big rat. Jax pull out syringe, he invented it, and it became a big success, it was far easier for hunters to get clean blood of a monster using syringe compared to just cutting the monster, and cleaner the blood the more they can get it. He pulled orc blood into a syringe, and injected the rat with it.
"Experiment 1. Injecting pure orc blood into another living organism" Jax while speaking activated [Researcher Eyes], using them he saw that rat's body reacted violently to orc blood, it started to fight it, but orc blood started to mutate rat's body and after few moments rat died.
"Experiment 1. Living organism couldn't handle pure orc blood. Orc blood started to mutate body, it was injected into. Failure. Conclusion: weaker living organism can't handle orc blood, there is possibility that diluting or using stronger organisms can result in different outcome." Ajax opened a cage, and he put down the rat's body on the table and started to cut it open.
"Interesting from what I see using ability, tissue orc blood was able to mutate before rat die is a lot stronger. If I can isolate it, I can create serum that will change the body to a sturdier version. It's worth experimenting with, but for now I need to do more experiments." Ajax threw a rat body into a hole in the ground, that leads to the composter he created. He took another cage with another rat. This time he took orc blood and diluted it in water.
"Unfortunately, I don't have any special equipment or substances to do it, well water should work for now" He pulled blood diluted in water into a syringe and injected it to another rat.
"Experiment 2. Injecting diluted orc blood into another living organism" Rat died, but Jax was happy, because rat lasted two more breaths than the previous one.' So diluting a blood is a way'. After that, Jax killed at least a dozen of rats the more he diluted the blood, the longer they would survive. He stopped experiments because he heard knocking on his workshop door. He cleaned up and opened the door. Abigail was standing there, unhappy.
"How long do you want to be there? Do you not like spending time with your mother?" Jax didn't want to make his mother sad, so he went to play with her.' I think it will be beneficial for me to not focus only on experimenting, for now I must figure out different ways to approach this topic, regeneration serum is the most important piece in my plans'
"Temple? Can't it wait?" Said Jax.
"No, you need to go to temple when you are three years old" said Abigail, and Haytham nodded. 'Fuck me sideways, why now, what if Gods want to kill me, because I'm Chaos Scientist'. People who are three years must go to temple, to receive blessing from the Gods. Gods in that world are real and can even bestow blessing on people they see as worthy or interesting, but there were cases when people were immediately killed by them.' I don't have a choice, I hope they will listen to my explanation'.
"Okay, fine, when we are going?" Jax gave in.
"We are going tomorrow" said Abigail, that was happy, her son stopped resisting.' I hope he can get blessings from the Gods'. The trip was three days long, during that time Jax saw a lot of different animals and monsters. Jax was the most interested in slimes, he used [Appraisal] on them.
[Slime: common monster which isn't actively aggressive towards humans, it only attacks when threatened. Its weak point is the core inside its body, which contains it soul. Its body is made from mana. Slime doesn't have higher intelligence]
Jax made so everything he used [Appraisal] on will be straight to the point.' Interesting slimes are creatures made from mana, also their souls are in the core, it can be useful in the future'. Jax also saw that there are different kinds of slimes like red, blue, yellow etc. When he checked, colour indicated their element. After some time, Jax arrived at the temple of Gods. It looked like a grand church but instead of symbols of Christianity, they were symbols of different Gods. When they entered, the priest greeted them.
"May the Gods be with you"
"And with you priest" answered Haytham. They walked to a platform, where a shiny white ball was located.
"Touch it, young one. Gods for sure will bless you" said the priest.' Yeah, sure, they will bless my ass with lightning strike'. Jax touched the ball, and then he was blinded by light, after he got his sight back, he saw he is in some white room levitating above the ground.
"Don't be frightened, little one" he heard the smoothing voice of the woman.
"So you are god? What is that place?" Asked calmly Jax.
"Oh, you aren't scared?" Asked a surprised voice, "other children are scared when they arrive here."
"Yeah, but I'm not ordinary also I'm scared, but what can fear give me? You can with using a single word kill me and erase me from existence, I just accepted what can happen" said Jax. After Jax said that he saw a woman appearing, the only thing he could think about was 'beautiful', but after a moment he heard system.
[Ability [Cold Blooded] is resisting charm of the goddess]
Jax snapped back, but he felt that [Cold Blooded] is failing. 'I don't know what will happen, I must endure it'
[Host is using his willpower together with the ability [Cold Blooded]]
[Host willpower affected ability [Cold Blooded], ability leveled up]
[Ability [Cold Blooded] successfully resisted charm of the goddess]
[New skill created [Charm resistance]]
[Charm resistance is fused into [Cold Blooded]]
"Oh, you resisted my charm, that's interesting? I didn't use it intentionally, it's just the nature of being a goddess." She said apologetically.
"You should be careful about it, he is just a mere mortal, and to this just a child." Another voice said. It was the voice of an older man.
"He is right, but I'm curious how he did that? He for used some skill" This voice belonged to a young woman. Two new gods appeared, one of them was an older guy with a big belly in robes, he looked like Santa, but had a scholar aura. Second new God was a young woman in her middle 20. She was wearing a pointy hat and was ridding a broom, 'A witch?'. She appeared near Jax.
"It's very bad to think about a woman this way, you know?" She said with a smile, Jax jumped back. 'I'm such an idiot, it's probably a mental space or something it's obvious beings at this level can hear my thoughts'
"Exactly junior, but I must admit she is a witch sometimes, haha" said older God.
"Who is talking, you old fart?" Older God wanted to retort, but the first one stopped them.
"Why are you acting worse than this child" she pointed at Jax." Jax, I am goddess of creation Shiro"
"I am god of wisdom and knowledge, Herodot"
"I am goddess of magic, Sabrina"
"We are here to give you our blessings" explained Shiro.
"Okay but why me I understand God like Herodot wants me, because I'm scientist but you both why?"
"Well I liked your experiments with orc blood and your thoughts about slimes, and I'm curious how you use magic during your journey" said Sabrina.
"You brought something interesting to this world, also your ideas can change the world, I am goddess of creation, not goddess of stagnation." Said Shiro.
"Okay I understand, so how it works, I need to say I accept?"
"No, just don't resist" after Shiro said that he felt as if something wanted to enter his body.
[Three blessings are detected, do you want to absorb them?]
'Absorb?, Sure, go ahead'.
"Wait absorb?! No, no" Shiro wanted to say something, but Jax already disappeared from that space. "Shit, well it's not his fault, let's just hope 'they' aren't angry." Shiro knew it will be headache even for her as goddess of creation. Jax mind came back to his body.
'That was interesting, to say at least'
' Hey what I am doing here' Jax heard a second voice in his head.' What happened ?'now third one. 'Fuck me how this happened' this was forth voice. ' You are fucking kidding me'
