Chapter 18 - Limited But Limitless: The Constraints Of Healing

I was glad that Euris had not told anything to the old man yet.

But what surprised me was that it had been a week since then and I had not seen Euris other than attending his lecture.

I thought he would be noisy and try to be self-righteous but it looks he has an indifferent personality which would have been the case if he didn't sneakily look at me during the lectures.

So annoying.

Even though I had awakened my superpower I had taken a week to rest as my superpower was still at a low level.

I didn't know whether it was a good thing I had awakened a healing ability but at least it was self-healing.

Every ability is generally divided into different branches.

You might have an entirely different category for fire ability.

The bad thing about my ability was that it didn't give me the ability to heal others but only myself unlike other healing abilities.

But at the same time my ability to heal myself is on a completely different level compared to general healing abilities.

I trembled in excitement as I could finally start training and strengthen myself.

To be honest I knew that my ability would be considered weak according to the standards of this world.

A support ability that can't even heal others.

No even if it could heal others it would be useless unless you are at a high level as this world had alchemist who can make potions and elixirs to not only heal but cure various types of diseases.

It is also that healing yourself is not impossible without this ability.

A high application of magic can not only heal but also strengthen your body.

A person with a berserk or rare bloodline like an elf and others generally not only can have strong regeneration but also have different powers according to their bloodline and its purity.

For example, elf they usually have very high life high span and extreme compatibility with nature-based magic.

Bloodlines also sometimes come with weaknesses or habits ingrained into their blood.

Elves for example hated people who ate meat.

It could be said that the very notion of eating meat was very disgusting to them.

They also generally liked living in the forest but nowadays it's hard for them to find a forest for their living.

Even though I knew how weak my ability was I was confident that I would be able to become strong even with this ability.

I knew and understood more than anyone else that hard work can trump talent.

Others who heard me might disagree with me that it's impossible for hard work to triumph over talent.

It's true that talent determines your lower limit but hard work determines your upper limit.

You might say what if the talented individual starts to also work hard a little then doesn't it mean our hard work is useless?

I would say yes if you think of this as a competition then you would lose but In my eyes, I think of it as a journey to self-improvement.

It might look cliche but to be honest, how many people say that they tried their best have actually tried their best?

I don't think so.

I mean if they have tried their best then would they have even had the time to complain.

They wouldn't have time to sleep, every single minute they would be thinking of methods of improving themself.

Even when not training their mind would be on training.

I started to run different kinds of methods to train myself while keeping in mind not only the methods available in this world but also all the strength-building exercises on earth.

I wouldn't say that all those strong-building exercises on earth are superior to this fantasy world but for a weakling like me, they were best at the beginning of the training.

The good thing about my ability it reduces the time to recover from injuries to zero.

It also reduces the chance of me damaging my muscles and bones during training.

In other words, the only limit to my training is the limit of my mind.

Speaking of bloodlines and all that fantasy stuff I remembered even on Earth there was the concept of Ki which is chakra in Indian culture.

It was thought of as a nonsensical concept even by scientists as there was no evidence to prove it exists.

I also thought of it as a ridiculous concept back on Earth but what if it truly existed?

I mean what if superhumans also existed on Earth hidden and not told to the public?

If it was true then was there any connection between the developers behind 'When They sleep' and those superhumans?

Were there other people who have come to this world and if not then why only I have come to this world?

In the beginning, when I first transmigrated to this world I thought I was in some kind of simulation.

Some kind of modern technology but now I can't accept it.

If I accept it then it means that these memories of mine are also fake and the person called Thomas doesn't exist.
