Chapter 22: Learning?
Lin Wu pondered on his own thoughts for a bit and reminisced his past. He realized that he couldn’t remember the last night of his previous life clearly for some reason. It was strange, as he could tell for sure that he remembered it before he fell unconscious.
“System, are my memories damaged as well?” Lin Mu questioned.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
ANSWER: Some of the host’s stressful and traumatic memories may have been suppressed by the host’s subconscious. They should have been a long time ago, but because of the host’s damaged soul, they were not. But now that the host’s soul is healed, the host’s subconscious is working as it should have.
—————————————————————————————————
“Well, that’s… Ironic. As I get healed my memories go away, when I was crazy I had my memories.” Lin Wu muttered to himself.
~Sigh~
Lin Wu sighed with frustration and then redirected his attention towards the window again. There were many new things that were present in it. But the first thing that pulled his attention was the age.
‘So more than two years passed by, just like that.’Lin Wu thought to himself.
“That was a rather long time to be unconscious, if I can even call it that. It was more close to a coma instead.” Lin Wu muttered in frustration.
Although he was now fine and knew that everything was okay, he didn’t know why he was still feeling frustrated. There was something about him being unconscious for more than two years that just didn’t feel right to him.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
WARNING!: The host’s mental status is destabilizing. It is advised that the host desists from thinking about his current thoughts. The host’s soul is newly healed and it will take time for it to stabilize. If the thoughts are not restrained, the Host may damage his soul again.
SUGGESTION: The system can put a temporary block on such thoughts.
—————————————————————————————————
“NO! Don’t do that!” Lin Wu shouted out.
Another notification window stating a warning came up as soon as he shouted. Forcibly calming himself down, Lin Wu took deep breaths. Though he had somehow not realized yet that his body had changed beyond recognition and was not what he was used to before.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
NOTIFICATION: Host status stabilized.
—————————————————————————————————
Lin Mu moved downwards in the host data window and checked the next item in the list, which was none other than his lifespan. Seeing his increased life span was strange to him, as he had not even lived twenty percent of it in his previous life.
From what he could remember, he was twenty-three years old when he died, so he barely even reached the middle ages of his life. Looking at a life span that no person from his past world had reached just looked surreal to him.
Others had spent countless years in researching the human body and medicine, trying to find a way to restrict and reverse aging. But now here it was here in front of him and he did not have the slightest of the idea of what to think of it.
~Sigh~
“I can only take it one step at a time. With the surprises I’m getting, it will be a miracle if I can keep my sanity.” Lin Mu muttered.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
NOTIFICATION: Does the host give permission to suppress his thoughts?
—————————————————————————————————
An almost imaginary pattern of a bulging vein appeared on Lin Wu’s head, as he suddenly felt rage flowing through him.
“I SAID NO! YOU STUPID SYSTEM!” Lin Wu shouted again.
But just a second later the blaring warning of the system appeared in front of him, which made him try to cool himself down again.
~Sigh~
“Seems like the system is telling the truth. That childish part of me will come out unwittingly, I need to control it better. At least till my soul stabilizes.” Lin Wu justified to himself.
Lin Wu contained reading and now saw the part about his species. He understood the part about it being unknown but didn’t understand the next sub part.
“System, what’s this about it being non-designated?” Lin Mu questioned.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
ANSWER: The host has been greatly modified by the system using the extremely high energy resource that was the crystal as well as some additional resources that were present in it. With the host’s previous physiology, it was not possible to utilize the energy resource. Thus the system analyzed the energy resource and made his body compatible with it.
Since the host is the first of his kind, the host can name himself and give a designation to the system. The system also absorbed an unknown bloodline from the energy source that was contained within the crystal.
—————————————————————————————————
“Oh yeah, I did see the new addition at the end in the Raw bloodline data section. So that’s where it came from. As for the name… wait, what do I look like?” Lin Wu uttered feeling perplexed.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
NOTIFICATION: The host can see his own body in the second page of Host data. It has been updated.
—————————————————————————————————
‘Oh, that’s convenient. At least I don’t have to look at it myself and get a rough guess.’ Lin Wu thought and then switched to the next page.
There indeed was the option to switch to the second page at the bottom of the window. It was just that Lin Wu had not noticed it in his shock before. But the shock only returned as he looked at the figure of his body in the next window.
Lin Wu had an emerald green body that was translucent. It was as if it was crafted out of a single piece of a gemstone and looked exquisite, if not for the fact that he was just a worm. In place of eyes, what he had were two octagonal red colored lights that were on the two small protruding parts on the head, and then there was a mouth below it.
Similar to before, the mouth occupied most of the part of his head. He also realized that he could actually move his eyes around his head wherever he wanted to, and they were not fixed. It was the same with his mouth actually; he tested it and saw that he could actually make a mouth anywhere on his body.
“What is up with this ridiculous body!?” Lin Wu questioned in shock.
