BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM

Later that day, Erik went home as usual. Meeting the militaries in that circumstance had not been easy, but luckily, they didn't pry further.

Hopefully, they didn't find the thaid body or find out that the creature's brain crystal had been taken off. Obviously, he had no way of knowing and could only hope things went that way.

"Quests," the young man said. There was only one thought in his head: make his last daily quest and obtain ten additional DNA points. He would end up with forty points, making him just a day away from achieving his goal.

-----------------------------

Erik observed the quest list. He got up from his sofa and started working on the last quest, doing his usual workout.

He was showing signs of improvement, but it was still too early to say they were huge. But even so, he did feel like his strength was growing by leaps and bounds.

His stamina was also increasing steadily. It wasn't enough yet, but if he continued with this pace, he could start having some sick abs.

After Erik ended his training, he went to bed. The following day he had to go to school; they had the Link establishing class with mister O'Leary that day, and he couldn't wait to see if, this time, he would be able to train without hindrance.

Two days passed since Erik got his deformity fixed, and he had been busy, making it hard for him to try and see if his problem had really been fixed. Obviously, the system could be trusted, so he had faith that the problem had disappeared.

Erik fell asleep on his couch, as he did every day, watching TV until late into the night. When he woke up, the first thing he did was check his quest list and accept the quests. Then he prepared breakfast, and after eating, he completed the daily quest that would have made him obtain enough DNA points to unlock the unknown thaid's power.

"System, how much time will be required to unlock the unknown thaid's power?" Erik asked.

[ANSWER: TWO HOURS AND THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES WILL BE REQUIRED.]

"Will something happen to me if I use the power to unlock it?"

[ANSWER: THE HOST WILL BE UNCONSCIOUS FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE PROCESS UNLESS THE HOST USES MORE DNA POINTS AND PROVIDE THE SYSTEM MORE ENERGY TO WORK. IF NOT, THE SYSTEMS WILL REQUIRE ENERGY FROM THE HOST, MAKING HIM LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS.]

<It looks like I can't use the system power yet,> Erik, though.

He couldn't miss school, despite wanting to do so. The young man then prepared himself to go out, he put on his uniform, and after having grabbed his backpack, he went out of his house.

The young man arrived at the train station later on and went to the western district, where his school was located. Once he arrived, he avoided everyone like the plague.

Fortunately, Logan kept a low profile, so he wasn't giving him problems besides making fun of him in front of other people.

Erik arrived in class, and later on, people started coming to the class, including professor O'Leary.

"Well, guys. This will be another training day for you," the teacher said while walking through the room.

The students all concentrated and started channeling mana, as they did every time. Erik did the same, the usual soothing and warm sensation of mana flowing inside his body, particularly in his head, spread inside of him.

Soon enough, Erik felt the familiar tingle spreading across his entire brain, which meant mana was circulating inside his brain.

Once again, Erik didn't want to miss anything important happening during this period. Not only he concentrated on the mana inside his body but on every little difference compared to the previous times he performed the technique to make neural links. Time passed, and apparently, nothing major happened.

<Haha... hahaha... hahahahahahahahaha> Erik started laughing inside his mind. Usually, he would have lost the connection to mana, stopping him from making neural links.

This time, nothing like that happened, meaning Erik could finally start making neural links and increase his rank. The young man was ecstatic; a huge smile appeared on his face, something Professor O'Leary didn't miss.

"Did something happen, Mister Romano?" The teacher asked. The other students turned to look at the student and looked at him as if he was a psycho.

"Nothing, professor," Erik replied without losing his smile.

"Stop smiling like an idiot and concentrate on the task!" Mister O'Leary said.

"Yes, professor," Erik replied.

The lesson went on, as usual, this time with him being able to channel mana inside his brain as it should have been. The day went on normally, with Erik following theoretical classes, math, history, and the like.

The lessons ended later on, and Erik left the school to work on the farm, as usual, after which he went back home. As he walked through the city streets at night, Erik trembled in excitement because of what was going to happen, he was going to get the power from a thaid he killed.

The stars shined brightly that night, and the sky was clear and full of light, as there were no clouds visible in sight.

Erik stood under those stars, looking at them intently, feeling their beauty. He knew that soon everything would change for good; he was curious to know what the thaid power would be.

Still, since the system didn't tell him that he could have only a limited number of powers, Erik assumed that he could have many of them.

The young man kept walking; he was almost home, and people were still outside minding their business even now. There was a man sitting alone near the sidewalk, a homeless person who probably lived around here somewhere.

On the other side of the street, two men sat together, drinking alcohol. One had a big scar on his face, and the other wore a leather jacket.

It looked like the younger of the two was trying to talk to the older man about some stuff, but Erik couldn't figure out what they were saying.

Erik always thought that the other people were better than him, even if they were drunkards or beggars; in his thoughts, they probably had a power that was stronger than his, and it was an inferiority complex that he wasn't able to erase. But that was going to end in a couple of minutes.

The young man finally arrived home; he went up the stairs, opened the door, and closed the door behind him.

"Status," Erik said.

----------------------------------------------

<Oh, I have a hundred and ninety experience points, just a daily quest, and i will level up!> Erik thought. The young man then observed his DNA points; he had fifty, just enough to use the system's power. He then lay on his couch with a pillow under his head, then he said inside his head, <System, I'm ready.> A robotic voice echoed inside the young man's head.

[UNDERSTOOD. SYSTEM READY. DNA POINTS USED. COMMENCING EXTRACTION. HOST IS ADVISED TO LAY ON A BED.]

Mana started swirling inside Erik's body it was like a hurricane inside of him was ravaging everything. Then he started feeling a warm sensation inside his stomach.

He felt the warmth spreading from his core towards his extremities until it reached every part of his body. It spread through his whole being and into the air around him.

"I feel good," Erik murmured quietly as he lay there, but then his head started to spin dizzily until his sight darkened. His eyes closed, and his consciousness faded away.
