“show me this new talent."
[Ding.
Talent.
Bound by Blood :
You can create a blood link with one of your pets, effectively receiving 20% of their growth in attributes.
Note 01 : only one pet can be linked.
Note 02 : the effects of Bound by Blood cannot be undone.]
" Will it harm the pet? Or slow their growth?”
If the skill proves to be harmful, Max will need to find a new pet to utilize it on. This pet would only serve the purpose of providing for this talent.
[Ding, reporting to The Host.
this talent will neither harm the host nor the pet.
Note : please kill the originator of this talent in order to enhance it.]
Max was surprised for a moment, but on second thought, the simulator can even refine the blood of those creatures called wills of the world.
In comparison, some talent of a random bitch was like a snack.
“huh? I guess I'd use it on Lucy then… “ Max suddenly realized something.
“why the fk am I wasting time? I should be using my talent now. “
Max stood up immediately, starting preparation.
In fact, he realizes that the first thing he should be doing is to leave this mountain in case the Atyai family sends more people after him.
However, he was really afraid something else will pop up stopping him again.
Moreover, if they were coming for him, it’s better to face them prepared with Lucy ready, instead of being caught by surprise while moving out, and Lucy out of mountain form.
“Lucy, close this place completely, and don't forget to leave a passage for air, otherwise I’d be the first pet master killed by his own pet.
Mok come next to me. Everyone else makes a circle around us. “
Lucy and the crows went to work immediately.
They were happy now that their master stopped cursing every 2min and his mood seems to be back to normal.
The door and windows closed, and the walls thickened under Lucy’s control, only leaving small holes for air.
Mok stood in front of Max waiting for orders, while the crows formed a Circle around Max.
All but one crow witch stood in the corner, looking at his brothers with confusion.
It was Imlak, and he seemed to be waiting for his brothers to form a square with him, or what he thinks is a circle.
“imlak stand here and don't move, please. “Max was helpless, but it wasn't the time to teach him a lesson.
....
Looking at mok Max became serious. “Mok, listen to me carefully.
You guys will form a permanent psychic link between all of you, And I need you to form a hierarchy into this shape. “
Max picked the laptop and showed Mok some drawings he made .
“ you will be the secondary node of this link.
As for the main node,
I will use my talent on you slowly, and when you feel it, don't accept it immediately because I need you to push it to be the main node. “
Mok nodded, but there were clearly hints of worry in his eyes.
Max patted the little guy. “don't worry, I will be helping you.”
Max didn't have such spiritual control to actually help in this process, but the simulator does, and Max already confirmed that the simulator will interfere long ago.
“Simulator, I request augmentation. “
[Ding, please present your case.]
“It's related to my strength, the project hive-link I presented long ago. “
[Ding, judging…..
-Request approved, please initiate the operation.]
.........
Max would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous.
After all, if this doesn't work, his second option is to join the government, since the simulator can't help him in increasing his attributes or learning skills.
He will have to work for the government in order to obtain things like meditation techniques and such.
Before starting, Max took out a few bottles of emerald water from his space ring and put them beside him.
His talent should require a certain amount of nutrients to function, and the water from Lucy's skill should be more than enough.
“alright, all or nothing, let’s start guys. “
The crows closed their eyes, following Max's orders.
........................
..........
......
...
After some time, nothing changed visually, but Max could hear low vibrations in the air circulating between the crows.
This was his mark to start.
Max didn't hesitate and used his genetic talent {origin link} on mok.
Wooosh!.
Max started emitting two different kinds of light, one dark blue belonging to his talent, and one light blue belonging to the simulator.
For a moment, Max lost his senses. He saw the actual psychic link forming with his eyes, or at least he thought he did.
For the next period of time, Max was in a dazed, confused state, unable to get a hold of his thoughts.
[Ding, augmentation starting….
Augmenting ….
Strengthening link…
Stabilizing energy flow.…
.... Applying genetic flexibility & Gene protection.
.....
Augmentation successful.
Note : Pain relief medication is advised, while the host's talent is at work.]
Max just regained his consciousness to the word successful from the simulator, but before he can assemble his joy.
His talent went to work passively, and Max experienced a pain unlike anything he had ever felt.
“ahhhhhh.”
Moreover, it wasn't only pain, but also bone deep hunger.
.....
In the midst of his anguish, he instinctively grasped the emerald water bottles and began consuming their contents with a fervor that suggested his very existence hung in the balance. And it did, in a sense.
Gulp! gulp! gulp! Gulp! gulp! gulp!.
After his weak psyche judged that he had enough, Max passed out.
“ah”
.......….
Max woke up without knowing how much time had passed. He had expected to feel groggy, but to his surprise, he was actually feeling good, better than ever in fact.
He blinked twice due to his slightly blurry vision.
Looking around, the crows were still here looking at him worriedly, and the place was still closed up.
Lucy suddenly appeared in the room in her real body. She kept watch all along and now that Max was awake; she wanted to check on him.
After all, he seemed to be in pain earlier, then he passed out.
For a while, both she and the crows didn't know what to do.
Feeling the newfound muscles under his robe, Max ignored the pets for now and went to the closest wall.
He didn't punch, but just dug his hand into the wall, which was enhanced by Lucy's innate.
Crack!...
His hand went through easily, his fingers digging deep as he grabbed a fist-sized stone and pulled it out.
Looking at the stone, Max clenched his fists.
Crack!.. Crack!..
The stone was turned into powder immediately. Max waved the dust away and looked at his intact hand.
All this process didn't leave a single scratch on his hand.
A creepy smile grew on Max's face uncontrollably, and he ran his fingers through his now disheveled hair, fixing it as his newfound power made it to his head, and he started laughing maniacally.
“JA! HA! HA! HA ! “.
Lucy, on the side, looked at her master's posture, and tilted her head to the side, thinking.
Suddenly, she put her tiny hands on her head and started imitating Max.
“hihihihihi."
" Cough! “ Looking at the scene, Max's evil laughter turned into a dying cough instantly.
“Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!. “.
Max was somewhat embarrassed. His new body was strong, but it seemed to perfuse more adrenaline than necessary and it got to his head for a moment.
“Lu, stop messing around and open the way for us. We'd be moving out soon. “
Lucy was stunned and pointed at Max.
‘ but you did it first.’
Max was speechless.
“huh? I see, so that's how it is. You're talking back at me now.”
Lucy was stunned and turned into a light immediately. She knew her master well enough to be sure he'd really beat her up if she spoke anymore.
Max just shook his head.
Soon, the wall cracked and opened up.
Max looked at the crows. “you guys can go out to play, but don't go far for now. We'd be moving soon. “
Craw! Craw! Craw!. The crows flew out immediately.
Max sat down, confused by his still blurry vision, but he didn't think much of it.
It should be because he just woke up from the operation.
“Simulator, show me my stats.”

......
Looking at the rich stats and his improved genetic Talent Max smiled.
“ Well, it all worked out, but it's time to move. “
Max had a strong desire to assess his current capabilities, but it was crucial to leave the current mountain quickly.
Although he didn't plan to go far, since he still had ideas about the Oubach downstairs, or more accurately about kain City, but that's for later.
As he stood up, he suddenly thought of something.
“Simulator, my genes should've changed somewhat, so am I still trackable using my old hair or such body parts as blood? “
[Ding, reporting to The Host.
According to the data, tracking the host remains possible, but the level of difficulty will multiply depending on the specific genetic change and growth in strength, and other aspects.
Please read the corresponding articles for more information.]
“well, harder to track is definitely good news.”
