Chapter 24: Leveling up the skills-2
Jayden had just upgraded his skill, ‘Alter Egos”; he hurriedly opened the status window and saw its description.
…
Alter Egos { Level 2 [0/1,000,000 ] BP }:
[Happy Ego]: Carefree, joking, loving, and friendly.
(Increases Charm by 40%; Increases opposite gender attraction towards you to 2 times.)

)

(Increases strength and agility by 40%;

[Arrogant Ego]: Indifferent, egotistical, disdainful.
(Increases strength of aura around you by 40%;
Increases your nether Aura’s level to 2 times.)
…
Reading the description, Jayden sat in awe, aren’t his skills complementing each other a bit too much, he thought?
Jayden closes his eyes and observes the changes in his mind. He felt his mind to be somehow freer than before, stronger and more shaper.
Different Egos will help him increase different aspects of his ability; one increases his mind and soul power, one increases his physical ability, while one increases his skill, Nether Aura’s strength, and one will turn him into a devil who will feel nothing for 5 hours.
He was fully satisfied with the Level 2 to alter egos; it had surpassed his expectation by a wide margin; with a smile, he nodded and moved his gaze toward the last skill to upgrade, one of his best skills, his innate skill, ‘Memory Manipulator.’
With anticipation, he chooses to upgrade the skill and spends 10,000 BP. Just as he selected, a few messages popped in front of him.
[ Evolution Condition met]
[ Evolving Memory Manipulator level 1 ]
.

As soon as the last message came, he felt a heartwrenching pain in his head. He didn’t expect the sudden burst of pain, as in the case of the few skills he had upgraded previously, he hadn’t felt any kind of pain, so he somehow expected it to be the same, but he couldn’t be any more wrong.
” Ugh, damnit. It was similarly painful when I got this damn skill. fuc*king hell”
He screamed through gritted teeth, barely holding back a painful wail. The pain just intensified with time. He felt as if his head was constantly being cut open again and again. He couldn’t hold his screams anymore; he cursed everything he could remember as he cried in pain. Only one thing came into his mind, one of the most disgusting things that he wished to forget.
” Aaaaagghhhh, you motherfuc**ing piece of shit, Sakura, just fuc*king die, you wrinkly a** faced bitch. you wench …” his shouts about a certain pink-haired girl(bitch) continue as he constantly screams in pain.
Bloody tears began to fall from his eyes; the pain is so great he faints on the spot. Even after fainting, he keeps wailing in pain as blood tears roll down his face.
He felt as if his head was about to explode from inside as if his eyes were about to pop out any moment, and as if his brain was being eaten by thousands of ants at the same time. The pain he was going through was the worst he had ever experienced.
The torture continued for about 15 minutes, making Jayden go through hell; his hunger points decreased by more than 15,000 points. He couldn’t move any part of his body; heck, he couldn’t even feel anything. He wasn’t even sure if he could survive or not.
Jayden kept struggling between a thin line of life and death, constantly trying to stay conscious somehow. He kept lying on the floor for more than 10 hours; only then did he again starts to feel his body little by little.
He starts to feel sensations in his limbs again but only barely manages to move his fingers a little bit. But now he was out of danger; he was sure he could survive. He sighed in relief and, with another sigh, thought:
‘ Well, the good thing is that I am still alive, not in any danger currently. haha, but that was his biggest mistake; he jinxed it.
Just as those words came to his mind, he felt a really strong aura approaching him, an aura much stronger than his. He felt goosebumps all over his body; he could only barely move his hands; how was he supposed to fight such a creature?
The zombie was still quite a distance away from him; Jayden was only able to find him because he didn’t even try to hide his aura; instead, he was showing off as if announcing his entry.
Jayden could say one thing from this, that zombie surely is narcissistic; showing off in a case where you don’t even know anything about the Opponent is purely stupid.
Without wasting any time, Jayden tried to hide his presence and, with all his might, moved his body to drink some blood. Jayden dragged his body towards the bags and started drinking blood nonstop.
He didn’t stop until his hunger points reached Max; with this, his blood supply had been depleted by more than half. But he wasn’t too worried about them, as he could always get more hunger points when he levels up, and just like Anna had said, if he could find beasts, this problem would be somewhat solved.
Seeing that it would still take around a minute for the zombie to reach him, he opened the status window.

…
He was satisfied with his status; at this rate, he will be able to reach 1 million BP soon. He suddenly remembered something and went hurriedly towards his skill ‘Memory Manipulator.’
…

After reading the skill description, Jayden sucked in a breadth of cold air. He read each line again and again. After reading it for many, he finally spoke:
” What the hell? Master of Genjutsu? Have I become an Uchiha or something? ”
” And what? The brain works 100 times faster and better? The size of my head didn’t increase, right? right? ” he screamed as he touched his head again and again.
He turned Andrea into a mirror and looked at his face through it. But to his relief, his head still looked as handsome as it looked before 1 hour. The only change he saw was his eyes, which looked much sharper than before, and his right eye was still blue with a purple clock in it. But his left eye’s colour had changed to slightly red, and instead of a clock, it had a plus-looking sign in it.
” Well, still as handsome as ever. “he comments proudly.
Then he remembers his skill, and he again starts to observe it. Now with just a look in someone’s eyes whose aura isn’t too stronger, he could use his skill, ‘Mind Manipulator.’ Which is a great thing, and its cost isn’t too high either.
Then he moved to its Range ability, which was almost the highlight of this skill. Within a range of 5km, he could sense anything; now, no one could give him a surprise attack. He would know anything that’s happening within that range.
Then he looks at his last ability, and he couldn’t help but compare it with a certain someone’s ‘Room’ ability { hint: one piece}. Now he could teleport anything to a different point by exchanging it with something else. He was overjoyed; this “Mind Manipulator” skill was almost a cheat skill.
” All the pain was worth it after all. “he said with a sigh.
Controlling his emotions, he turned his attention towards the approaching enemy, who was almost 200 meters away from him now.
Jayden observed him and was stunned at seeing the zombie’s level, and only two words escaped from his mouth.
” Holy f*ck. ”
