Chapter 162: The Sealed Eye

[System: You’ve entered the player server:

Moonlit slinger: Hello, again everyone im from the ruined workshop

Benevolent sage: Oh slinger of the moon, are you here to inform us about the ones on top of the leaderboard?

Lascivious summoner: I’m surprised that everyone’s still interested in the workshop. @Benevolent sage aren’t you from the ancient ruins?

Peerless swordsman: Come to think about it, wasn’t it overflowing with a ton of content?

One nut man: From subquest to termination ques and we can’t forget about the big reveal

Noob master 36: I’ve heard that it was a biome that has a sub-biome. And all of the things you gain from the frost biome, it was said to have the most event coin drops

Master oppai: I regret choosing my biome, the cage isn’t that great. A lot of players are fighting to get experience points

Benevolent sage: @Moonlit slinger can you dm me the results a ton of players are filling up the server]

He immediately pinged the player before the server would be flushed with a ton of topics about his biome

’Oh, hello there I think you’re wondering why it isn’t connected with what I just previously said. But you need to remember that im still a human before I get transmigrated in my novel I have a day that I didn’t mark. So yeah today’s my day off, im just doing my normal rounds in the world of trials. You can even say that it’s a slow life~’

|[Morris are you trying to act like a fourth wall breaker again?]|

“Jin I told you were inside my novel. Anything can happen, so im just trying whether or not there’s a fourth wall. Aghh, forget it okay your not even a fan of things like this,”

|[Well, if it makes you feel any better wanna join me for a drink? It’s been a long time since we’ve had a normal chat, like good o’l times]|

“Maybe at another time, I also know that you’re plotting something with Kyo min soo. There’s no way I’ll get trapped by the two of you, so maybe next time, I’ll catch up with my books. Catch you later Jin,”

|[Okay, good luck with your time off. Catch you later twerp, don’t do anything that you’ll 100% do without my supervision. I know how disastrous you can be if I take my eyes off of you]|

[System: Your communication with the player Jin Kurenai has ended. The communicator will now be turned off if you don’t have any other person to call. The system will automatically follow through with your command]

“Now that I have no one to bother my day off, it’s time to review what I’ve previously read in the grimoire. I can’t keep this book inside my inventory for a long time to come. I was distracted by the augmentation training that I mostly forgot that it even exists. I need to acquire a new spell, what was it again? Oh, right I was looking to gain a powerful spell to replace Freeze,” His allies were busy with their schedules for this day before they were to step forth to the 1st trials. Leaving him alone in their lodgings without anyone else to bother with his time. He spent most of it reading his favorite book which was halted once he continued to read his grimoire

[System: You’ve taken the item [Grimoire of the frostherian] out of your inventory. A grimoire that has the collected spells created by the frostherus race. A large variety of them are involved with the use of the Ice attribute]

“Apart from the new spell, it seems that my stats are going to be a problem. I focused too much on balancing all of them, well except for mana I can’t get enough of mana. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! Do I really have to do it? Is there no other way than to accept my price, I remember writing this part to be pretty painful. I’m not even joking, I literally have to tear my eye off just to place a much better version. Let’s focus on the book, for now, I’ll do it once im confident,”

After a long time to reconsider his idea to apply the sealed eye at the palm of his hands, he opened the grimoire and browse through the pages. Looking for anything that’ll help him in his journey to the trials to come and the dangers that dwell. For someone like him who’s imaginative and the person that came up with the spells and magical theory concerning his book. Even if he didn’t have any kind of talent in anything apart from the ways of magic, it didn’t stop him to try. To broaden his knowledge and experience in his novel which became his reality

’I think im done with memorizing the lines, I remember adding this as a requirement before you can do chantless spells. Well, it’s not like you’re going to forget it anytime sooner. To use greater casting and above to widen the effect and strengthen the spell you’ll have to remember the lines. It’s quite different from the amplification theory, which only adds more power to the spell. Greater spell casting and above unlocks a few things and mostly causes the spell to unlock a new ability. Anyway, I need to focus on the chanting, this isn’t something like one of the basic spells I’ve done before. There’s a chance I might suffer from a recoil, here goes nothing,’

He took a deep breath whilst he closes his eyes and remembered the lines which he imprinted on his mind. Slowly the mana within his body and surrounding started to change, it was changing both in colors and temperature. Over time a cold gust of wind would appear and he can feel a slight build-up of the things around him being engulfed in ice

“I call upon the power of ice and snow, manipulate my surroundings to suit my desire. Bring forth a temperature down to a degree where a living being can feel your wrath. Freeze them, till they scream and inflict a wound they’ll suffer for trespassing to your rule. I call upon the spell to consume everything in ice, come before me Frostbite,”

In an instant, his surroundings were consumed with an abundance of his mana that changes to a beautiful shroud of ice. With a single chant, he can fill his body remembering the process of his spell. And a message greeted him with his successful outcome of learning a new type of spell

[System: You’ve successfully chanted a spell that came from a grimoire. The spell [Frostbite] will now be added to the chantless function since the player meets the requirements. You’ve read a ton of books, the system has taken an interest in your actions, and you’ll receive the title: Book worm. The title grants the player a fast phase of memorizing any knowledge that you’ve acquired from reading]

’I was thinking about how long will I get the bookworm title, it seems that I’ve finally crossed one hundred thousand words… I guess I still have a lot of time before the others could arrive. Do I really need it? It’s just a sealed eye, there’s no way it has an expiration date,’

[System: You can only apply the sealed eye which contains the power of a monster for 7 days. If the time limit has been reached the item will disappear, it was said that the eyes rarity will decrease over time. The system advice you to apply it since you only received it 8 hours ago from your deity]

“Fine… I’ll do it since this will be a one-time thing. System I want you to apply the sealed item to my right eye. I already know about the risk, apply it before I change my mind,” He lies on his bed and sees the item which was floating around the room. Before it was detained by the authority of the system which slowly came closer to Morris’s right eye. For a second he felt it, his right eye popped by the authority of the system

“Arrrrhhggggg!!!” He was overwhelmed with the pain of losing his eye while the eye of the monster replaced his very own. Who would’ve thought that was only the beginning of his nightmare? After the eye takes its newly designed place in his body, he could feel a burning sensation. Soon after, a portion of his blood spewed from his injury and he could feel it making a similar pathway to his previous eye. That pierces through his soft tissues which resulted in another round of blood that came out of his eye

[System: The player’s action has been recognized by the system. You’re daring enough to receive an extreme amount of pain in exchange for power. Rather than a title, you’ll acquire the skill [Masochism] this skill will change your pain into pleasure. The more you experience pleasure the more you’ll gain a temporary boost to your stats by 2%. This will stack once you reached a higher level of pleasure]

“Ahahahaha!!!!! Oh, this feels good!!!” He was shocked to the point where his brain was affected by the procedure. Even with the help of the skill that changes his feeling toward his gruesome incident. It wasn’t able to help him cope with the pain, no matter how much it was alleviated by his skill. The pain was too much which resulted in him losing consciousness

hours later

’Arrrgh… What time is it? So annoying why is it bothering me? I need to get some rest,’

[System: Congratulations on being the first player to acquire a power belonging to a monster, we’re glad to see you again. You’ve acquired a skill that remains to be a mystery to the system. The contents can’t be appraised, your deity is being contacted for further information about your eye. For now, you must avoid activating your eye]

[Looks like you’ve already placed my reward]

“What the hell is this?”

[Didnt you say you were a part of a group of people called the “Chuunis” you know those that summons demons? So I thought about the next reward I wanted to give you, so surprise!! You have the eye of a demon. You said you’re great at handling these powers, so what better kind of reward can I grant you? That’s when I thought of giving you a power you already know how to wield]

’Fuck me and my delusions!!! Well, I guess it can be any worse than this right?’
