Apocalypse Cheater

Chapter 181 The Forbidden Box



Chapter 181 The Forbidden Box

[: Daniel POV :]

The Forbidden Box was no ordinary box.

It housed a potential so vast that it could rival the entirety of the universe itself.

Now, you might think, what sets this box apart?

If the Mysterious Box is known for granting treasures from the realms of Modern Fantasia, then the Forbidden Box operates on an entirely different level.

While the Mysterious Box offers treasures, the Forbidden Box holds power beyond imagination.

The Forbidden Box holds an unfathomable power that could reward anything one can imagine.

That's the essence of the Forbidden Box, a mysterious vessel of unparalleled potential.

What makes this both exhilarating and spine-tingling is that the Forbidden Box doesn't play by the rules of hierarchy or rank.

Its power isn't confined by the status or level of the individual.

It remains an independent force, ready to grant its limitless bounty to anyone who wish to unlock its secrets.

The Forbidden Box is free from thr constraints of Ranks, earning its name for a reason.

It's truly forbidden in the world of limitations.

"Now, how is it?"

Mom inquired, her curiosity piqued, following my consumption of the chip.

"I've been experimenting with the Chip and the results from it were pretty decent"

She said with a sense of anticipation, hinting at the potential impact or significance of the consumed chip.

"I'm eager to hear your thoughts on it,"

She added, her eyes brimming with anticipation, a reflection of her curiosity and enthusiasm.

"The effects are far beyond what I anticipated, and it's truly remarkable,"

I shared, offering my perspective on the impact of the chip's consumption.

"I understand, my dear, that your potential is monumental. How significantly has it affected you?"

She queried, a blend of intrigue and intent to assess not just the effects of the chip but also my compatibility with it.

And she had the desire to analyze and understand the chip's influence on an individual of considerable potential.

"In terms of effects, it's been surprisingly good. I've gained some pretty unique functions,"

I explained, attempting to articulate the chip's impact in simpler terms.

"Hmm, I see,"

She acknowledged, taking note of my description.

"Alright then, dear, I'll catch up with you later. I've got some people to meet," s

Se said with a smile, signaling her departure as she left to attend to other engagements.

She was a busy woman and she kissed me on the lips before separating her lips from me and she walked away teasingly.

I could only just smiled at her departure and most importantly, I could now focused on the Forbidden Box.

"Let's check out this Forbidden Box,"

I whispered, feeling a surge of excitement for what it might reveal.

As the Forbidden Box materialized in my palm, it took the form of a black, ominous cube.

The dark color emanated a strange, devilish aura, setting it apart from anything I'd ever seen.

The aura exuded by the Forbidden Box was undeniably eerie, conveying a feeling that truly justified its name.

It felt entirely different from any other artifact I'd encountered before.

While the Mysterious Box contained unknown treasures, the Forbidden Box was said to house forbidden artifacts and treasures beyond one's wildest imagination.

Now was the moment to unravel the mysteries of this box and witness what it had in store for me.

The anticipation bubbled within me as I pondered what rewards might be concealed within.

The vast expanse of the universe amplified the endless possibilities of what this Forbidden Box might offer.

The sense of wonder and excitement filled the air as I prepared to unlock its secrets.

"Use the Forbidden Box" I muttered.

[: Command Confirmed :]

In a matter of seconds, the Forbidden Box released swirling black crimson smoke, and I couldn't shake the feeling that the box had a life of its own.

The atmosphere around it seemed to pulse with an almost organic energy.

As the box began to unfurl and reveal its contents, it slowly dissipated, vanishing before my eyes.

In its wake, it left behind the reward that had been designated for me, almost as if it had completed its purpose and evaporated into thin air.

Gazing at the reward it left, I found myself struck with confusion, unable to immediately comprehend or make sense of what had just been bestowed upon me.

[: Mana Circulation (S) :]

- Able to circulate your Mana to a certain extent to increase the prowess of Skills -

Is this it?

I pondered, feeling a pang of disappointment at the underwhelming reward from the much-hyped Forbidden Box, said to rival the entire universe in its offerings.

Nevertheless, I couldn't help but consider that there might be a reason behind this specific gift bestowed upon me by the box.

I observed the reward and noted that when it came to Mana, it represented the fundamental essence that comprised every existence.

It was a pure force intertwined with the fabric of our being.

Though seemingly unremarkable, the significance of Mana couldn't be underestimated, despite my initial letdown with the box's bestowal.

As players, the only means through which we could harness Mana were by integrating it into our skills, bloodlines, or classes within the game's mechanics.

Existences such as Mages and other extraordinary beings had the capacity to use Mana.

But its manipulation wasn't an ability freely wielded by just anyone.

The control and utilization of Mana remained a selective and somewhat exclusive skill within the Modern Fantasia world.

Creatures such as the Demonia or the Dragons possessed inherent constitutions.

The constituations granted them the ability to control Mana or even manipulate elemental forces, making them unique in their capabilities.

However, the idea of manipulating the pure essence of Mana itself was unprecedented.

While pondering the potential possibilities, I couldn't dismiss the thought.

What would occur if I increased the rank of the skill to the highest level, reaching the Mythic tier?

The concept of circulating Mana at such an advanced level left me both intrigued and cautious, as the ramifications of such an action remained unknown and uncharted.

Filled with curiosity, I was eager to witness the answer to this question.

Without hesitation, I swiftly gathered a sufficient number of runes required to upgrade the skill to its highest level.

With resolve, I used every single rune available, investing them to increase the rank of the skill.

The outcome that ensued from this action, however, took me completely by surprise.

[: Mana Lesser Manipulation (Mythic) :]

- Able to Manipulate Mana other than the Player own MP to create Minor Effects :]

Upon observing the enhanced skill, I was both amazed by its effects and simultaneously puzzled.

Despite increasing it to the Mythic tier, the skill was only designated as "Mana Lesser Manipulation."

However, the realization struck me.

While the title appeared underwhelming, it implied that the potential for this skill was far from its peak.

It signaled the possibility that with further rank advancements, the skill could progress to a stage that seemed formidable and even somewhat terrifying to contemplate.

In an attempt to test the skill's impact, I endeavored to gather the essence of Mana existing in the surrounding atmosphere.

If the visible manifestation of Mana could be seen, it might resemble tiny, radiant bulbs of blue light, suspended in the air.

As I anticipated, the Mana present in the local atmosphere appeared less dense compared to that in Modern Fantasia.

This difference in density was likely due to the variance in exposure and concentration of Mana in the two distinct environments.

The Earth underwent a gradual transformation, wherein as players continued to level up, the density of Mana on Earth increased steadily.

However, the real surge in both density and quality of Mana was expected to skyrocket by a hundredfold when the Apocalypse event transpired.

As I gathered the essence of Mana in my hands, it form into a ball, steadily forming into a powerful force.

Inside this compacted sphere of Mana, the energy held a destructive potential, hinting at the raw power contained within.

Gazing at the ball of Mana, I was captivated by its unexpected beauty.

Its appearance was reminiscent of a spiral, akin to a miniature representation of the cosmos itself.

Excited to explore the skill's potential, I proceeded to craft more balls of Mana, experimenting with their transformation into various forms.

I molded them into shapes like swords, arrows, shields, and even fists.

To my amazement, it seemed there were no limits to the shapes I could create, nor to the number of manifestations I could generate.

The skill appeared limitless in its versatility and potential.

Embarking on the final experiment, I aimed to explore the essence of pure Mana.

Employing the familiar technique of gathering Mana essence, I followed the established pattern.

However, this time, it was different.

Concentrating on each Mana essence, I focused on intensifying its density, a process that led to a fascinating transformation in its color.

Starting as a light blue hue, the Mana evolved through shades of blue, darkening gradually to light purple and eventually transitioning to a mesmerizing dark purple.

The evolving colors formed a stunning sight that captivated me, leaving me unable to tear my gaze away from its mesmerizing beauty.
