Chapter 37: SysDi 37: Quests Unlock
After leaving the books on his bedside table, Evan couldn’t maintain his excitement. He is finally allowed a little bit of a leeway. In addition to his Simulation Zone usage, he could go deeper inside the stone hill cave than he usually would be able to because of his new found ability he had just accepted.
He knows he should still be careful. It still costs one of his precious mana points per use. But the fact that if he does get injured, he wouldn’t outright die. And that is more than enough.
Evan knew that he needs to catch up and try to see if there is an ability he could get soon that he can use to get in Stardust Academy.
Every children only has one power, which is something everyone knows about, usually inherited from either parent or a mixture of what the parents had. Evan is a different case. Since the watch was the origin of his abilities, Evan technically didn’t inherit anything from either of his parents.
He would have to find out if there is anyone that has two powers given to them. They must be at least a handful, right? Even if they’re a rarity?
Then again, maybe they just don’t exist. That is also a possibility he is not afraid nor hesitant to agree with if true.
Soon enough, Evan found himself in the same, familiar corridor once again. He has done his entry countless times by now, that he felt like he had skipped the reading that he had to do for the words to open the entrance.
The branching paths show up after a bit more of walking. He had already tried to examine both. While it would take so much time, Evan is willing to finish what he had started on the left. He felt as if it would be a lot shorter, and he wants to have some progress done before calling it a day.
Just before he entered though, he remembers he could use his detect ability. Sensing nothing to be wrong about that and just wondering if it’ll work, he ought to give it a try.
"Detect."
