The Gene Gamer

Chapter 129: Affinity II

A great headache came along with the sudden intervention in his mind. If described, it felt just like two enormous forces were clashing inside his head, trying to defend something while the other attacking it relentlessly as if wanting to open up the thing being defended. 

It was like a part of him was getting forcefully separated from himself. It was painful, very much so. 

"AGHHH" feeling the pain, he couldn't help but scream out loud.

If it was just physical pain, he wouldn't feel much. Nothing more than a mosquito bite as everything in his body was under his control. Even if it was soul pain, he would've brushed it off and just grit his teeth for some time. 

However, it was an existence pain. By existence pain, this thing was endangering his existence. From the two forces clashing, he could feel that the traces he has left behind along with his memories were on the line of being erased. 

If this really continued, he really might just get erased from the world itself. And by erased from the world, he meant that everything related to him will be erased clean.

No matter whether he was a lifeform or not, he was an existence. A being that continued existing. Every existence, no matter a dragon or a rock would feel the need to continue existing just like how living beings felt the need to survive. 

No matter what talent he had or how special he was, in the end, he was still a second-tier puny being. 

Not even close to a law being, how can he not feel the need to continue existing? 

He was just like everyone else. Whether his soul was there or not, the essence of the world was within him. And this essence was now screaming to survive from this ordeal. 

Fortunately, this pain didn't last for long. Just as sudden it had surfaced, it also disappeared in a moment just as suddenly. 

And what came along it was a rush of memories that had been sealed by something.

It wasn't much, just a few trains of thought. But it was exactly this train of thoughts that made him end up in this predicament.

This was really some hardcore censoring, going even as far as to censor a few thoughts coming from an insignificant character. So it meant he also had to be cautious and prudent in the future. 

After he had fully organized the memories that came by, he finally ended his guess. 

'Humans are no different from monsters. They are monsters themselves and are just more incompetent compared to the others. Their soul being the same said that. Also, there might be another world that contains the 'humans'. The law beings would definitely not divide a single thing into two major things because of their difference in talent and physical body. If it really were to be divided, it would have to be by the soul.'

This was the blue Spirit Lord Pyrinas gave me. 

'So.' 

'Humans are monsters and this game world just might be the human world they were talking about.' 

This was his conclusion. 

He didn't know the reason his memories had surfaced again but it was most likely to be his perception. 

But then, why didn't his perception reveal his memory then? Did his status really just glitch because he was hallucinating? 

Possible, but it could also be because the power that sealed his perception that day may have been far more powerful than the one today resulting in even his talent of perception not being able to unseal it.

Now, the matter with his affinity. 

So the conclusion had been reached. His fire affinity had reached a certain level and it should be considered quite decent in this world. 

At least, it should be equal to Uncommon or Rare in terms of grade. 

And just during the time, a notification popped up. 

[You have unlocked talent: Blazing Fire Medium]

[Blazing Fire Medium:

When casting fire-related magic, all mana cost -25%, all damage +50%.]

[Talent: Inferior Mage Talent had combined with talent: Blazing Fire Medium and has become Blazing Fire Mage(inferior) (rare rank)]

[Blazing Fire Mage Talent:

When leveling up, intelligence +2, mana +6. When casting fire-related magic: All mana cost -30%, all damage +50%. Fire-related elemental damage -15%. When using free status points on intelligence and mana, +1 extra status]

Indeed, as he had thought, he had acquired a new talent and it even mixed up with his other talent and created a new one. 

Then, after the notification had finished popping up, he turned to look towards the blazing ball of fire in the endless darkness. 

He was looking for other affinities he had. And unsurprisingly, he found two of them besides the ball of fire. 

It was plant and thunder affinities. The plan looked like a carnivorous plant while the thunder one looked like a tiny fox emanating thunder aura. However, they were just nothing compared to the blazing ball of fire. Their auras were too weak, just as if they had been suppressed by the ball of flame. 

However, soon, his surprise came. 

He found no trace of his dimension talent. Well, not that there were no traces. There indeed was a trace; however, it seemed so distant and far. 

It was so far away from him. And he could only feel a tiny inkling of his affinity with it. It just felt as if a massive wall was separating them. It indeed was there, but it was unable to be resonated with. 

Now, this led to another set of thoughts. However, he immediately left it at that and just saved this starting thought to a deep part of his consciousness.

He didn't want to get his memories sealed again. It was better to view them after he had advanced a bit more. Maybe in the fourth or even the fifth tier.

Then, he started evaluating its worth and the dangers accompanied alongside it. By intuition of course. Otherwise, if he were to logically think about it, he would solve the problem instead of evaluating its score. 

The measurement before was just a pre-measurement in case things go south. 

So after a bit while of evaluating, he deemed it dangerous enough for that existence to take action. Therefore, he didn't do anything about it and just let the thought stay sealed there. 

Moving on, what kind of direction he would go in the future has been decided. 

He would become a fire mage. 

...

The library's first section is only filled with ordinary books. Some are traveling journeys, some are about history and literature, while some are encyclopedias. They weren't much useful. 

They may offer some exp if one reads many of them but the exp given was very little since they were ordinary books. So people have mostly given up on gaining exp through it. 

They only displayed their usefulness when someone needed information from them. 

Only when the library's floor count became higher will each book's quality also become higher. And the higher grade book has, the more the experience and powers one could potentially gain from it.

For now, he would enter the skill book section of the library, which was located in the second floor of the library alongside the slightly more important books. 

[Use skill library pass: 1x? Y/N]

"Yes"

[Used skill library pass: 1x]

[You have entered the second floor of the Windwhale Library]

[You have entered the 1st tier skill library of the Windwhale Library]
