Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Truth be told he was worried about his current situation and rightfully so as he was in a weird ordeal, that would frighten any sane person but as he waited for the system to initialize in his room, he felt a huge burden lift from his shoulders. The last two weeks he had tried to see if he was among those so called chosen ones and had a golden finger to help him through this but it was all futile.

The now initializing system needed a certain amount of energy to start and as he was too weak the second he woke up that it had to remained dormant as he was quite literally the embodiment of someone on his last breath. The doctor over the last two weeks had been constantly casting healing spells on him, looking back, the same mana that almost killed him was now his medicine an irony that was kind of funny.

Only through constant injection of vitality was he able to gather enough energy to move and a surplus to initialize the system without endangering him in the process. Ding initializing and binding to the host complete. Host please choose format in which you'd like the system to work.

1.prowess; give host strength and become your biggest backing towards becoming a topnotch powerhouse known by all.

2 .Hidden prowess ; give host power to be silently powerful , a topnotch powerhouse in the dark .

Surprise was written all over his face and for a minute he's thoughts went blank. As he recovered, a smile formed on his thin lips as he fell into contemplation. Perhaps because he had been in pain the second he transmigrated till now, the whole ordeal had traumatized him as he developed a fear for pain. "If I was to pick the prowess format the amount of times I'd see face to face with death would be too much . I've seen death twice already and if that isn't enough I might just end up developing a fetish . Then again fame is attractive to all but if the price of fame is near death experiences I'd rather stay at home."

"With the gardens and libraries at home why would I go and provoke the world if I can become powerful inside my home . The hidden format can make me powerful in the confines of my house so why go battle dragons and entities I know little about. Yeah am staying at home ." Having decided he chose the second option without hesitation . Congratulations for choosing the hidden prowess format. The beginner gift is issued . Please open the gift bundle dear host.

A decorated box hovered Infront of him as reached out to touch it it exploded with fireworks and confetti. "Was that really necessary, " were his thoughts as he waited to see what he would get so as to start plan his next step.

Six continuous pings sounded in his ear and he looked at the now hovering panel .

Name; Gray Morrison

Lifespan; Five years

Protectors; one

Surbodinates; none

As he looked at his status he's mouth twitched when he reached the part about his status but when he read his current lifespan he broke out into a cold chill. After thinking about it for a second he found it reasonable, as someone with a weak body who came back from the dead five years seemed quite like a long time as he should be dead and maybe that was what surprised the doctor when he saw him awake.

In hindsight Mr. Abel, the doctor he's father had found and hired, was quite talented and powerful otherwise he would have died by now. He went to the tab that said inventory where his gifts and saw the six gifts and decided to start with healing . "Retrieve ultra healing potion." he thought as a small vial fitted in his palm appearance, the liquid inside was dark green and had a scent when Inhaled it made him feel comfortable, something he hadn't felt since he inhabitated this body. "System how much should i take ? " The potion was called ultra healing so better ask just to be safe.

Three drops should be able to heal you . Five drops should be able to heal your innately crippled body." What happens if a drink the whole vial?" You explode into blood mist in an instant. A chill run down he's spine as he looked at the system with thoughts that his system did not seem quite reliable. Why was this crucial information not said any sooner. He opened the vial nonetheless and dropped five drops in his. Mouth slowly with caution as if he was handling a grenade because he indeed was .
