Chapter 8: 8：Recovery

"Where am I, what happened, Am I dead," yells Lex as he tries to get up.

Getting up, he sees he is in an infirmary bed within a small white room with a chair in the corner. Within that chair sat Ella, the beautiful young girl who welcomed in the rookies.

"You are finally awake, the soldiers found you unconscious in the outer rainforest with giant insect blood splattered everywhere, however, there no bodies were found," she says, trying to enquire what happened to the bodies, as the bird that she sent had to retreat due to the storm experienced in-between.

"Soldiers, huh?" Lex found that a bit sceptical as to how was he able to survive till the soldiers found.

He was thinking that the rest of the giant ants should have been able to follow the dried-up ants' blood scent and kill him while he was unconscious.

Little did he know, Ella was protecting him all time when he was unconscious as she teleported near him, as soon as the storm arrived.

Realizing the situation, he knew that he could not reveal anything to do with the system including the inventory, despite spacial items being able to be bought, because no technology could be transported to the beast dimensions due to an unknown restriction.

"What! All that hard work, and nearly dying was just for someone else to reap the rewards," he exclaims in shock, pretending to be outraged,

Ella just chuckles and replies simply, "Don't worry, you can go hunting out again, once you can stand up on your own and try to find that person," she says with a cheeky smile as she turns off and leaves.

[Not bad, huh].

Thinking about having such a talented and beautiful girl as a wife he was rudely disrupted.

{Ding, Mission Completed: Reward - 100 points and Dual Eye, the ability to use two different eye powers, one in each eye allowing you to have both their powers activated at once, however, the power of each eye will be reduced}.

{Ding, for killing 1 LVL 8 beast, 5 LVL 6 beasts, 22 LVL 5 beasts and 7 LVL 4 beasts and has gained 176 points, Current Balance: 276 points}.

[Now that I can use the Scouting Eye and Telekinetic Control Eye at the same time my weaknesses are covered, but what are points used for?].

{Ding, points can be used to purchase random eye power draws, 100 for an E Rank Eye Power, 1000 for a D Rank Eye Power, 10,000 for a C Rank Eye Power, 100,000 for a B Rank Eye Power, and so on increasing by ten times for each Eye Power Rank}.

[After putting my life on the line, I can only access E grade eye power, tch, why is it so expensive].

Struggling to get up, he used the Weapon Creation skill to make a pair of crutches as he got out and hopped into his private room, number 467, where he could do as he pleased without anyone disrupting him as without his permission nobody can enter.

Using the crutches, he walked down the corridor of all the dorms for the newbies and finally finds his own.

While walking down the corridor he could hear all the others ridiculing him and laughing and laughing at him.

"What an arrogant idiot nearly getting himself killed", "So stupid just wanting to show off", "I bet he was beaten by a little LVL 1 beast, what a trash", but he just ignored them not putting them in his eyes and was used to be bullied, anyway.

Walking into his room and closing the door which instantly locked itself automatically and was impossible to be opened by a Mortal Level so nobody here can force open it.

Taking out an LVL 4 giant ant's body that took up the floor of the whole room, he made a dagger and with his drained arms begin to strike at the skull to get the beast's core, that is found within the centre of the brain.

After nearly ten strikes, it only just begun to show signs of cracking.

Breaking through the skull he saw the mushy brain, that was stinky and greenish.

Himself from before would have definitely vomited and would have been scared, but this time he was slicing open the brain not caring, and withdrew a small black crystal that had energy buzzing around it.

Lex had formed a ruthlessness towards beasts and was unaffected by their death, but it didn't mean he could do so to another human and wouldn't be able to react in the same way if he was dissecting a person.

Holding the crystal in hand its energy began to flow into Lex at an extreme speed.

Talent is what dictates how much energy can be absorbed from each beast core or energy crystal, talent is measured in E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS just like powers, and was measured by the absorption time of energy in your body and your body's energy affinity.

Lex with his A-Rank Telekinetic Control Eye and Scouting Eye has an E Rank talent.

Despite that, he could still absorb energy at rapid rates due to the system.

100% of the core's energy surged into Lex's body as he felt his body begin to heal with the excess energy.

With a ding from his watch, Lex now became LVL 6, although technology doesn't work in the beast dimension, the card which was imbued in by the Heaven soaring academy or central high school made a noise after the user LVLs up.

[System, how come an LVL 4 core only increased my level by 1].

{Ding, host's talent is currently only E Rank so host only absorbs 20% of core's energy, but no worries the system will slowly by slowly modify Host's body using the energy to increase the talent rank of the Host and until that time system will absorb the energy for you and strengthen the host's body.}

Using up the rest of the 6 LVL 4 giant ant beast cores Lex felt that his body was saturated with energy. Talent also indicated how much energy could be absorbed by a person in a short period and after settling at LVL 11 and strengthening his body massively, he felt his body was brimming with power but also felt he couldn't increase anymore which meant he was facing a bottleneck.

[System why can't I level up more despite having sufficient energy to provide].

{Ding, hosts talent has a cap on how much can be absorbed in a short amount of time and this lid can only be broken through hard work in physical and soul training or through continuous battle to improve yourself, which is why rich people who only rely on beast cores through money will be much weaker than normal people who trained hard to increase their strength}

Understanding this, Lex rescheduled and first thought of training physically but it would be too slow and he didn't have a manual for the soul or physical body, so he could only do it through battles and would have to also depend on normal physical training till he got a training manual.

He checked his balance and saw his money was running low, his first thought was to sell the bodies of this ant to the researchers outside.

However other people couldn't take objects or bodies that contain energy or anything the dimension deems as an advantage in and out of the dimensions.

But not Lex who had the inventory and therefore could do it, but he would be bringing death to himself if he did so, as he knew that there were powerful experts out there like the elderly man at the high school, and it would draw unwanted non-friendly attention towards him.

Despite that, he also felt his adrenaline rush when he was on the doors of death and he ominously liked that feeling.

Within his room, he attempted Dual Eye.

Looking in the mirror he could see his right eye was blue with a very intricate and complex formation signifying the Telekinetic Control Eye, whereas seeing the Scouting eye for the first time, his left eye was all white including the iris.

Feeling the surrounding area, he could no longer clearly see 100 metres around himself, but only 70 meters, and he felt that the Telekinetic control eye was also slightly lower in power.

[I need to get used to this world and the more beast cores and beast bodies I have, the stronger I can be and wealthier I could potentially become in the future].

Thinking about this, he noticed he was now mostly healed and was now LVL 11 so he could go after a solo Blackhawk wasp in the outer jungle that he had previously seen.

He was in a phase where he wasn't sure of what his goals in life were and after all that humanity has put him through, he was beginning to lose faith bit by bit, but one thing he was sure of, he wanted to get stronger.
