Once Human, Now a Parasite Chapter 184

Chapter 184

---

After that day, when Usui experienced the Earthquake, seen the blue windows and tried the incantation that was displayed in the skills window . The small flame that slowly burned inches above his palm changed his pessimistic att.i.tude . An indescribable feeling surged, gazing at that flame yet feeling no pain .

The book he used as a test turned into ashes within seconds, seeing this flame disappearing after its use was done . Usui was left aghast for a few seconds, his normally calm eyes were ignited as a pa.s.sion never seen before was born . A desire to be strong, to control his fate in his hands, not be tied by politic matters, marriages or whatnot .

To do whatever he wants whenever he wants, to protect himself and be the strongest, such a far yet realizable ambition surfaced in his mind . His heartbeats accelerated and his thoughts raged, the sheer thought of it made him excited .

He knew that it'll be a hard road, that this was but the beginning yet this only added to his strong will and strengthened more .

. . . .

Although major things occurred after the earthquake, Usui remained oblivious to it . For the next whole week, he didn't leave his family's mansion . Hour after hour, night after night he would stay at the very same balcony, practicing his new abilities . He only had [Fireball] and its upgrade [Fire Wave] . Fire affinity(pa.s.sive) also helped him create small sparks of flames but compared to the real deal they were weak . One fireball had a size a bit bigger than his fist, as for the fire wave, its might was really terrifying, he almost burned his garden so he didn't to carelessly use it here .

Thanks to his meticulous and hard work, Fire Ball leveled two times and became Lv3, its size didn't increase dramatically but the heat emanated from it more than doubled .

His intelligence stats increased by 6 and somehow, his wisdom also increased by 2 . The amount added was meager but Usui didn't feel disappointed, in fact, he couldn't be happier .

---

He heard from his butler that monsters appeared in random areas, there were not a lot of casualties but certain forbidden places later called dungeon also appeared . These dungeons appeared in every capital of all the world and some appeared randomly all over the world .

Right now, with the union of all countries, they managed to locate three hundred twenty-six dungeon and it was still growing every day . What's more terrifying is that military expeditions tried entering them to investigate but the arms weren't helpful as the monsters were stronger than those outside and this foolish movement by the governments caused a lot of unnecessary casualties .

. . .

The never stopping practicing of young Usui was finally halted after ten days . He decided to stop and start exploring when his Fireball reached Lv4 .

Currently, his stats increased by a bit but in his opinion, to reach the top, this amount is nothing .

The two newly added skills were a bit of a surprise to him . Although they were pa.s.sives, they helped him a lot in understanding the fire affinity and control better the fire . As the name suggests, [Clear Mind] makes his thoughts clearer, as for [Deep Thinking], it allowed him to close his eyes and focus on one thing for a whole hour without being disturbed by external noises, it helped him a lot in leveling the fireball skill .

He also used the unallocated points and put them into intelligence, which added the power of his fireball . He first thought practicing will increase his level but after inquiring his butler, he discovered that only hunting monsters will raise his experience .

Usui also learned that there were countless people who learned abilities unique just like him but there was also the normal crowd, like his butler, who could see their status but their stats were low and they gained no skill, but it didn't mean that such skills were not obtainable .

As his family was quite rich and had a lot of connections and strings here and there, he managed to find a new party with people who acquired special skills just like him . With them, he was going to enter one of the dungeons . The dungeon they were entering was the one with weak monsters, not like the dungeons that were horrifying like the one in Hawai, which was infiltrated by more than a hundred soldiers but none came alive, only fearful cries could be heard .
