[System Interface]

[Name: Nolan Gotschald]

[Age: 16]

[Title: God's Apostle]

[Level: 23]

[EXP: 18,500/9000]

[Does Host wish to level up?]

"Yes!" Nolan declared.

[Congratulations, Host has leveled up to level 24!]

[+15 Attribute points have been obtained.]

[Total EXP: 9,500/20,000]

[Attributes]

[Strength: 140]

[Agility: 115]

[Perception: 90]

[Intelligence: 100]

[Charm: 8]

[Attribute points Left: 15]

Nolan's eyebrows furrowed as he reviewed his attribute panel, making some calculations and figuring everything out.

He could remember that during the event of him possessing Anti-Aether, he had used all the level-up cards he had—a total of 5—and had asked the system to help him input the attributes because he was losing his mind and couldn't focus.

Now he made the calculation

. Since he leveled up five times, he should have obtained a total of 75 attribute points.

"So you added 40 attribute points to my strength, 20 to my intelligence, and 15 to my agility?" Nolan asked the system, which gave a nod.

[Yes. Your strength needed the greatest improvement to allow for the new growth of cells that helped you resist the effects of the energy.]

[That's why I poured more than half the obtained attribute points within.]

[Your intelligence also had to increase, so you don't run mad, and I also added attributes to that.]

[Your agility also boosts your cells, so it didn't hurt to pour the remaining 15 into it.]

[It might not be your perfect rhyme stats obsession, but at least it saved your life.]

The system said to Nolan, who could only agree.

[Truly, his life had been saved by that.]

[Add 10 attribute points to Perception and 5 to Agility.]

Nolan ordered, feeling a minor chill throughout his body, but it quickly faded away.

[Congratulations, Points have been successfully added.]

[Attributes]

[Strength: 140]

[Agility: 120]

[Perception: 100]

[Intelligence: 100]

[Charm: 8]

[Attribute points Left: 0]

"But this still doesn't make sense..." Nolan mused with a suspicious gaze.

[What do you mean?]

"I meant like you said that the godly ten should have around 120 stat points in attributes, right?"

"Yet they all gathered together and failed to defeat Draugr."

"But I, with an attribute stat of 140, managed to defeat him, and seemingly so easily too? It just doesn't make sense."

"When I fought with Draugr, I felt stronger than 140 points in strength.

"Almost like... Almost like..."

[Your attributes doubled?] the system asked him, and Nolan nodded.

If his 140 points in strength doubled, only then did he feel he might be able to match the power he revealed when he fought with Draugr?

[A measly 140 points in strength couldn't have done that.]

[That is because you were using the energy of Anti-Aether.]

[Nolan, Anti-Aether didn't strengthen your body at all! It never does. It only does that when you activate it!]

[Like, try activating your Anti-Aether energy.]

The system asked him as Nolan closed his eyes for a few seconds, calming his emotions.

In the next instant, a fiery blue aura surrounded his body, and his eyes widened, his crimson eyes being replaced by ghastly blue flames, and his other blue eye revealed a small bright light, in contrast to its normal usual dim light.

Those were the effects that happened to Nolan when he used Anti-Aether.

[Now try seeing your attributes once more.]

The system called to him, and Nolan willed for his attribute points to appear.

[Attributes]

[Strength: 140(x2)]

[Agility: 120(x2)]

[Perception: 100(x2)]

[Intelligence: 100(x2)]

[Charm: 8(x2)]

"All of my stat points doubled?" Nolan asked, and the system notification chimed.

[See? That's the power of Anti-Aether. It's an energy that brings a two-fold increase in strength to your body.]

[Once you stop using Anti-Aether, your body goes back to its normal strength.]

The system said to Nolan, who nodded before a certain special light crossed his eyes.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Nolan suddenly asked.

[Yes! I think so. If you have even just three brain cells in your head, then no one will ever find out that you possess Anti-Aether!]

[Because Anti-Aether is a hidden energy that can only be used if you willingly want to use it.]

[So long as you never use it at all, nor wish for it to be activated, it will always remain concealed within you.]

"So if I want to avoid the trouble of ever possessing Anti-Aether, the answer is so simple."

[Never use it!]

[Just tell yourself that you don't have it, and increase your strength normally as you always do.]

[No one will ever know, and the secret will simply die with you.]

"And here I thought, possessing the Anti-Aether energy would be my biggest problem ever..."

Nolan thought to himself and somehow felt like the weight on his shoulders had automatically loosened a bit.

Now he knew he was safe with the Anti-Aether energy.

As long as he never used it, he would always be fine.

And Nolan didn't think he would be stupid enough to force himself into a situation where he would have to use it.

At least, he would understand the risk of doing so and know well that anyone who forced him would most likely be killed to conceal the truth.

All he needed to do was be careful, and he would be fine!

"Phew!"

"That's genuinely a relief..." Nolan thought to himself as he settled back on the bed.

Now he possessed a new source of energy that doubles his strength by two on activation, even though it came at a significant risk of probably getting hunted by the entire realm in all of existence.

At least, he knew he had another secret card that he could always fall back on if things went south.

And the energy was one that boosted Nolan's current attribute points by double, not a one-time use thing.

All he needed to do was keep increasing his strength, and whenever he used it, he gained double that strength.

'It's strange—an energy that was debilitating to the Atlantian and treated as a curse—could have such a good effect on me. '

'I think my luck might have started turning around for good.'
