Chapter 25: Testing Limits?
Sitting on his bed in his bedroom, which was abandoned for months, and during these days because his big sister wouldn't let him sleep in his room, he also spent his time outside the room.
Which is why he had to sleep in her room, and his room was almost abandoned but still very clean as his sister had made sure to clean it not to let any dust settle in, and he also helped her during the cleaning.
He didn't refuse his sister; her eyes had those weird swirls on them, and he could tell he couldn't refuse her as it would definitely affect her, much like being rejected by his own little brother as mom had already left her, so he had to take care of her both physically and mentally, thinking 'he also likes spending time with his big sister.'
He is only 11 years old; it is not weird to sleep with his own big sister. He stopped thinking about it as he focused on what he was here to do. Aiden called status to his mind as a transparent blue screen appeared in front of him.

(Stats Limit of Mortal Humans: 10)
Aiden noticed the changes in his stats that he had to sacrifice for the illusion that protected them while he was unconscious; that's why his strength and stamina decreased by 1.5 and agility by 1 point, for a total of 4 stats.
He didn't know much; he had to train to get those four stat points back, but he didn't regret it a bit. He was also looking forward to World Evolution, as his boring life would definitely change, but until then he had to make many preparations and train himself and his sister, as for his aunt, he is not worried about her.
He knew what type of person one had to be to reach the rank of general at such a young age, and one thing was sure: they had to be proficient in both close combat and shooting, he also saw her train outside the house.
whenever she came to visit, and he could tell just by looking that she was very good, but he didn't join her while training and rejected her many times whenever she came with shiny eyes with twitching ears, if he met her again, he would definitely join her, knowing she is very strong, but he didn't know how strong she is, but he would know in the future, and he is looking forward to both the training and the reaction he would get on her cold and emotionless face.
Knowing that strength is the most important thing after world evolution, those who are weak would become prey to the strong, helping them grow even stronger than before. He had to get stronger as much as he could before the evolution.
Focusing on the blue screen once again, there is one thing he wanted to check from the time he had awakened his talent, but he didn't have the time to check, thinking that he focused on his talent, Celestial (FFF+), and the blue screen started to expand and show the detail of his talent.
[Celestial (FFF+)

[Flaw: Celestials do not lie.]
Looking at the blue screen in front of his eyes, he still finds his talent very overpowered, but today he wants to check the limit of the flaw in his talent that says celestials do not lie. It bothered him very much not knowing where the limit was or what would happen to him when he accidentally lied, so he had to be careful for the past week about what he should say in front of others.
He thought of saying an obvious lie, but his heart was beating really fast right now, thinking about what would happen to him if he lied. Wild thoughts started to appear in his mind: 'Lighting wouldn't strike from heaven to him; yeah, obviously it wouldn't; if it did, he would die before even getting the chance to revive his mom'.
As thoughts of not testing it started to appear in his mind, suddenly the system's feminine, monotonous voice sounded in his mind once again after all this time of being quiet. After being awake, he tried to call the system in his mind, only to be disappointed in the end without getting any reply.
[Host, I guarantee you, you will not die due to your talent, but for anything else, you have to find it yourself.]
Listening to the system's voice once again, he felt a little relieved knowing that he wouldn't die due to the flaw in his talent, and he also thanked the system for the reply, as with his cautious personality, he was sure he wouldn't check it until he was 100 percent sure about it. He still didn't trust the system completely, but he was sure of one thing: I wouldn't try to harm him until they got what they wanted from him.
He tried to say 'he is a cat', still feeling a little scared of not knowing what would happen to him." -------" He tried to say the word, but no voice came out of his mouth, which made him perplexed.
Other than no sound coming out of his mouth, nothing happened to him; his voice was as if it were blocked by some mysterious force. He tried it many times but still got the same result as the first time.
He experimented more, knowing that, other than no sound coming out of his mouth, nothing happened to him. Finding that if he told a complete lie, nothing would happen to him. That also made him very happy, as his talent was still very overpowered.
Finally, he found out that he couldn't lie directly but still misled them using his brain a little. For example, if he had stolen something from a person and that person asked if he had stolen it, he could answer, 'He doesn't know what he is talking about, assuming that the thing he had stolen is not the one he was asking about.
But he definitely had to avoid a situation where he had to answer a question in a yes-or-no form, as it would be a nightmare knowing he had to tell the truth if he wanted to answer, and the only option left was to remain silent, which would make him more suspicious, and trying to answer other than yes or no would confirm their suspicion, but for that, they had to know about his flaw.
As he once again called status in his mind

[Bloodline: None]
[Physique: @#$%@# Physique (Unranked)] (0.5%)

(Stats Limit of Mortal Humans: 10)
He looked at the blue screen in front of his eyes and focused on his mysterious physique, whose name he could even read as it only showed some gibberish on his status screen.
[@#$%@# Physique (Unranked)] Progress rate: 0.5%
#King's Eye: You can check the talent, physique, bloodline, and skills of those two ranks higher than you.
# ???
# ???...]
He had forgotten about this from the moment he was awake, but opening his status reminded him that he also had a physique and thought of checking the limit of ability that comes with his physique with a cool-looking name, and he had a high expectation of it by only knowing its name.
'First, I had to know if it works on living beings or nonliving beings' Aiden thinks in his mind after thinking about which object he should use it on. After a few minutes, he decides to use the pen he picked up from his study table.
He picked up the pen in his right hand, stared at it for a second, and focused his mind on using the ability he had learned from the system. After a second, he felt his mind being spent, and a blue screen appeared in front of him.
[Item: Pen (Normal)]
#Uses: It can be used to write things on many different things.
#Limitation: It is very easy to break, and there is a limit to how much it can write.
]
looking at the blue screen in front of him explaining about the pen he was holding in his right hand he felt its explanation was short and precise and he liked it a lot and system also told him had the pen rank was too low and the higher rank item would have more information.
After using it on more and more different things, he started to feel a headache and its intensity increased with the number of times her used it in a short period of time, finally, after ten times he could feel it, but he couldn't use it anymore as the pain made him dizzy, and if he forcefully tried to use it, he had a feeling that it would not be good, so he decided to rest a little due to the pain.
Only after 15 minutes of rest can he use it one more time, and he calculated in his mind that he had to rest for at least two and a half hours before he could use it 10 more times again he also found out that as long as he can see the item he can the ability on them as he didn't have to touch the item like he did with the pen.
But his calculations were wrong, as they showed that only after one hour of rest could he use it 10 more times. He still hadn't tried on any living being right now, but he had a feeling that he wouldn't be able to use his ability for the same amount of time he could use on nonliving things.
He didn't want to use it on his sister first, even if he had a feeling that it wouldn't negatively affect her, but he still wanted to use it on someone else first.
During the testing of his king's eye ability, he also had lunch with his sister, as the system told him that nobody else could see the blue screen in front of him. His worry was also that other people would see the screen in front of him, and it was all for nothing.
