Chereads / A Million Years Old System / Chapter 4 - A Gifter

Chapter 4 - A Gifter

2 days later, Fieldsong Apartments

It was a small apartment complex with only 8 rooms. Only the landlady and Jinn lived there due to the poor conditions and small size of the apartments.

Jinn's room was small, as expected. It was filled with clothes and books. The bed was merely a torn, roughed-up mattress lying on the floor. There was a small desk near the window, which made it a bit more suitable. The only good thing was the attached washroom.

Jinn: Hmm...it's been two days, though I haven't found many things yet, it is still amazing. This whole thing is like a cheat code.

What Jinn found was amazing, to say the least... He found many more secrets regarding his body; when he found that he couldn't feel pain...he could tell something more was there along with the absurd quest.

Jinn's body couldn't feel pain; it neither got tired nor felt muscle soreness, though there were more findings, Just these three felt like a cheat code.

Jinn moved his hand forward as the book 'Forms of Energy' showed up along with the pop-up screen.

[Would you like to Learn 'Forms of Energy']

Jinn: This...past two days, I was so focused on the Body Enhancement Quests that I forgot about this. I wonder how this gonna go...

[ACT 1 STARTED]

As the quest began, the book suddenly vanished, and a square grid started forming, covering the entire room. Out of nowhere, a blue hologram appeared. It had the same body shape as Jinn, but unlike Jinn, it was sitting cross-legged with the tips of its fingers from both hands touching each other. Jinn also sat down. As he closed his eyes, a strange voice started speaking to him.

[Try to combine your energy with the natural energy that surrounds you]

[Calm your breathing, loosen up your body]

The voices kept on coming, yet nothing happened, unlike the hologram, which formed white energy around the size of a ping-pong ball; Jinn had nothing, but as time passed, something started forming.

About 30 minutes later, a speck of energy formed between Jinn's hands. As another 15 minutes passed, it grew to the same size. However, Jinn didn't stop. The system that kept telling Jinn to stop Jinn didn't hear and continued charging the energy ball. It grew to the size of a tennis ball, but Jinn didn't realize that he kept on charging, as if the energy itself was propelling him. Objects like pens, books, and clothes also started floating around Jinn as he continued.

The white energy ball started changing colors as specks of yellow started forming on it, but Jinn's body couldn't take it as blood started pouring from his nose and ears. Jinn opened his eyes, landing on the ground as he puked blood, breathing excessively.

Jinn: What the sh*t happened...tsk did I do it...

[Congratulations You have completed Act 1 Formation, Act 2 Subjugation, and Act 3 Synthesis]

[Internal Damage detected performing Recovery statutes]

[5 minutes till full recovery]

Jinn: Act 1...2...3 moreover Recovery now this system has everything hahaha...

Without wasting, Jinn went back to work and started Act 4 Transfer, which was just the way to transfer energy in or through an object. It was easier than expected as finally, from Act 5 -15, the quest took a turn revealing information about Energy that was never heard of.

It took Jinn 2 weeks to complete everything, including the Body Enhancement Quests; a lot was learned, and a lot of mistakes, but finally, it was done.

[Congratulations Body Enhancement Quests are Completed]

Jinn stood up dripping in sweat; his body already seemed pretty toned and muscular as he looked at himself in the mirror.

Jinn: Hmm...my body I can see a lot of change. God...look at these abs, holy sh*t...my back is too f****** amazing...sigh start Act 15, Forms of Energy.

The entire room was filled with grid-like patterns as the hologram stood next to Jinn. The hologram pointed its index finger forward as a large basketball-sized yellow energy formed. It quickly compressed into a small ball of energy and was then shot towards the grid wall, disappearing before making contact.

Jinn imitated the hologram with pinpoint accuracy, but as he shot the energy ball, it landed a hit on the grid wall. The grid wall didn't let it through, though it did show the damage it would have done.

Jinn: haha...It got me worried there...but finally, it is done.

[Congratulations you have learned Forms of Energy]

[New skill forms of Energy have been added to skills]

Skills-

??? Lvl max

Forms of Energy- Lvl 1

Just as Jinn thought about what to do next, something came up. He immediately left for someplace...

A bit later, Location: Elite Gifters Association

Desk lady: Are you here for Re-evaluation?

Jinn: Yes...My name is Jinn

Desk Lady: Here...7th floor Room 781

Jinn rammed off, taking the elevator as a huge smile was on his face.

Jinn:( there's no way right...I have an awakened Forms of Energy is a Gift)

Entering the room, it was big, surrounded by machinery. Jinn walked as he was greeted by a woman.

Woman: Are you Jinn...place your hand on the orb and don't remove it until told.

An orb that seemed to be hovering through a faint source of energy was acting like string/wires holding up the orb.

Jin placed his hand on the orb.

Woman: huh...why his energy...

A few more seconds...as the woman gave the signal to remove the hand.

Woman: Congratulations, you have awakened. Your rank is (midgrade) 2 stars.

High Grade: Beyond Average

Mid Grade: Above Average

Low Grade: Average

Jinn held his excitement as he left the complex.

Woman: Even if he was born with a high amount of energy, why was his energy...

Immerssirable.

As soon as Jinn came outside, he couldn't hold his excitement. He screamed his heart out.

Jinn: YESSS....sorry I didn't mean to scream.

Jinn held his Gifter ID as suddenly his expression changed, running off once again, but this back to his Apartment.

An old lady who seemed to be in her 60s with silver hair, hunched back, wearing an old wrinkly pick dress was taking out the trash as a voice calling her name came from behind. She turned.

Jinn: Ms. Stins...you should've told me to take out the trash.

Ms Stins(Land Lady): You were not home. How am I supposed to ask you...Jinn
