Taking the Grimoire that I had obtained at the auction, I opened it and saw a text on my interface.
[Will you use Grimoire Cocryth?]
[Y/N?]
Of course, Yes-!!
In an instant, the book opened, and all its pages flipped quickly as if someone were opening it, and golden light began to shine, covering my entire body!
Closing my eyes calmly, I felt a warm, soothing sensation from the light until ten minutes later, the grimoire completely vanished.
Opening my eyes slowly, I saw the interface that had appeared again in front of me with completely new text.
[You have successfully forced your Talent to evolve!!]
[Locked Abilities and Skills will be unlocked!!]
[Trickster Manipulators (Ability)]
[An extraordinary manipulation ability, becoming the controller of fate. The user can direct their power into non-weapon objects, limited to items that have value in terms of fate and manipulation. These objects can turn into intricate tools of play as well as instruments of destruction in their life's journey. There is no meaningful limit to the number, except for dead imagination and depleted magic.]
The explanation is almost similar to the root talent…. Well, it's no surprise, this is the ability origin, which is a derivative of that talent.
But…. Directing power?
"It seems I should try it."
Of course, manipulation is something new to me.
Taking out the last item that I hadn't revealed from the auction item container, I immediately unwrapped the black poker cards with elegant yet sharp golden lines.
"Uhhhh…. This really is as hard as rumored…."
I tried to bend one of those cards, but it wouldn't budge at all. This proves its durability as an item labeled as useless by the auction.
"So, what now?"
"Well… I hope all those cards can be used if possible…."
Rather than thinking about meaningless things, I, feeling a bit of understanding of the meaning of that sentence, began to close my eyes and concentrate, gathering my focus to—
Shhh—
I slowly opened my eyes with hesitation when I heard an absurd rustling sound in my ear, only to see all the poker cards in front of me starting to fly erratically, yet somehow rhythmically following a soft melody.
The feeling is, I was only trying to focus on one card, but why did all of them also fly….??
Confused for a few moments until I began to realize the answer in the ability I had.
"Imagination, huh….?"
Grinning widely, I played again with the flying poker cards and started creating a very smooth rhythm of movement.
Ahha, I get the point…
"It turns out it's that easy in essence-!! Hahh, because this strange talent has never been heard of at all, I found it a bit difficult because of that…. Maybe it could be called a Unique talent?"
Apparently, this also seems to be the reason why Hyeon-woo was never awakened and became depressed, which then changed his previously good nature into the naughty child of the Seo Group.
To be honest, even I find it difficult to awaken this power, let alone if it were Hyeon-woo before?
It seems impossible, at least to do it in a short time. Or until awakening his Talent completely.
The rumors about how trash he is have become daily food for the servants, so even though they don't show any expression, they feel disgusted with him for always making mistakes and embarrassing the Seo family, which he calls a family curse.
Even elite families and conglomerates around the world mock him as a useless bastard and pity Do-hyun for having a child like him, who, luckily, his father never made an issue of and even spoiled him more with wealth and attention.
However, that won't happen again. Because I have awakened my power and can use it. So, that nickname shouldn't exist anymore.
Clenching my hand upwards with a confident grin, I proudly exclaimed.
"Ohhh… Hyeon-woo, don't worry. Starting today, I promise that I will show the world that you are not a useless trash bastard!! Yes, that!! Oh and also, as a professional….."
Slamming that raised hand against my chest with force, I continued.
"I will enjoy this world and play seriously!!"
******
"A-What is Young Master doing in his room?"
A few servants standing in front of Hyeon-woo's room murmured nervously upon hearing sounds that shouldn't be produced and strange laughter from within.
It wasn't the first time they experienced something like this; it had become a common routine for the servants to deal with the absurd things and mischief their young master always caused.
Even in recent days, their young master had done something that threatened his life, making the servants shudder at the thought of what he had done.
Even so, they couldn't contradict or remind the young man. What if he was reminded of his behavior? The servants would be the ones in trouble next if they did that.
However, they still worried about his behavior….
Brakkk—
Suddenly, the young man with black hair, dressed in a plain shirt and black pants, came out of his room with a confident smile on his face.
"Yoshh, everyone!! As a celebration of my success in awakening, I will gift each servant with 15 million credits as a reward and also as compensation for my rude treatment!! Ahh, and also don't forget the gardener whose garden I destroyed and the driver I disturbed with my trips and mischief-!! Make sure not to forget that!!"
Hearing the unexpected announcement, all the servants in front of the main corridor of the room froze for several seconds before one by one they snapped back to reality, and cheers of joy began to erupt in the corridor.
"Yeeaaayyyyyy!!!!"
"Wohooo!! 15 million credits?!! Finally, I can buy the magic necklace I've dreamed of without using my savings!!!"
"Crazy!! This is insane!!!! Let's all have dinner with chicken!!"
"Do it!! Do it!!!!"
They all cheered joyously with the 15 million credits and forgot about his awakening announcement, but after a few servants congratulated me, the others began to follow suit.
"Congratulations on your Awakening, Young Master!!"
Well, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
After the announcement, the entire house shook with cheers of joy. However, on the other hand, the treasury and finance staff of the house began to cry hysterically in their office due to the sudden explosion of work piling up to several meters high…
