Eye System

Chapter 2: Recovering

Laying there half dead, Lex was deluded so much by hate and wanting to get revenge, that he overlooked the situation he was currently in.

He tried to get up, but due to his nervous system no longer operating, he could hardly feel anything and was struggling to move in the slightest.

He was completely baffled about the current circumstance he was in and without his nervous system operating, he couldn't figure out what to do.

Calming down, he tried to reach the voice that was resounding in his head, "System?".

{Ding, yes host!}

He proceeded, "What are you?"

{Ding, unable to answer}

"Are you for real?... what can you do?"

{Ding, for the host's notice, powers are organized into F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS, for the time being, however, commonly they are acquired from your parents and some few even have dual abilities, however, the host has none. But with the Eye System, the host can gain infinite Eye Powers of all ranks from E - SSS and make the host powerful enough to achieve a foothold in the cosmos}.

Hearing the system's final statement, Lex was astounded.

He was overwhelmed with happiness, for the time being, but didn't forget about his vengeance.

[I have got a god-sent opportunity to become strong and replace my fate, and in these times approximately only 10% of the cumulative population are born with an innate talent of some sort, and most of the end 90% work slave-like jobs and are of the most inferior status and are mistreated.

Now I possess the opportunity to grow strong and level up, as without innate talent it is difficult to LVL up, and the higher the talent's rank, the faster you improve and stronger you are], he thought to himself excitedly.

Lex wasn't the only one in his situation as, despite those with the talent for levelling being outnumbered 9 to 1, they still had nearly complete control and dominance over the overall population with their strength, incorporated most of the wealth, and gained the most distinguished statuses.

{Ding, the host has one lucky draw and a beginner packet to open}.

The sudden and unexpected announcement resounded within his mind.

Although Lex didn't know what it was, he was still overjoyed and felt like bouncing up and down, but soon stopped his ridiculous impulse as his body was already in a half-dead state.

Calming down, he asked within his mind, "What does a Lucky draw do, and how do I use it, System?"

{Ding, Lucky draw can give you a random Eye Power, from D to SSS rank. To use it just command, "Use Lucky draw"}

[Use the Lucky Draw], he called out excitedly while praying for an S ranked Eye Power within his mind.

{Ding, random Eye Power is being integrated}.

{Ding, the host has obtained the A-Rank Telekinetic Control Eye. The host can apply it to control, lift, move anything within the host's range that the host can handle. The host's Telekinetic Control Eye is very versatile in battle and has a lot of potential and is only curbed by the host's power and imagination}.

Hearing this, he nearly cried with happiness as albeit not an S rank Eye Power, it was still much more useful than others.

But no noise came out of his mouth with the blood clotting in his throat and his ripped vocal cords.

Tears of rapture streamed down his face as he felt a mysterious yet pleasing tingling sensation within his eyes.

{Ding, the rankings that are acknowledged to the host are not tantamount to this low dimension, which only measure their potential within the Mortal Realm} the system added.

Lex was too deep in imagination and gladness to heed the latter bit of information the system revealed to him and in the situation, he was in, he was frantically trying to unearth a way to recover his body, if there was one, and didn't care about any other information.

[Nevertheless, this Eye Power cannot help me recover and if I cannot even move my body, what is the use of these abilities.... I can solely put my last hopes on the beginner packet], he said sadly, putting all his faith on the beginner packet.

[Open the beginner packet].

{Ding, Beginner packet has been opened, the host has gained 5 Mortal Foundation Tempering Pills, Weapon Creation Skill, and the Mortal LVL 50 packet}.

He was delighted with the Foundation Tempering Pills, which he had heard were only accessible to the higher class because of its price and difficulty to produce.

But he still didn't have anything to recover himself and despite the incredible rewards, they would be useless to him if he was dead.

{Ding, the host can use a Foundation Tempering Pill each day, which will aid you by stimulating your body's recovery with the copious amount of energy and vitality held within the pill} stated the system.

Learning this, he couldn't help but weep and laugh in joy.

The laughing was remarkably painful as his shattered ribs rasped upon his disordered internal organs.

Although in a near-death state and nearly fully deadened, his nervous system wasn't fully inert, so he was nevertheless able to perceive pain when he arranged to make small movements.

"System? When can I use the Foundation Tempering Pills?" asked Lex

{Ding, The host ought to simply presume about the pills emerging and it will be assembled near you}

While he imagined the Foundation Tempering Pill, it miraculously materialized before him, then settled on the soil, alongside him, where he was staring.

{Ding, the host has an unlocked the inventory feature, the host can stock objects within the inventory and everything bestowed by the system can also be discovered there. To store or withdraw anything from the inventory, the host merely has to think about storing or retrieving the object.}

{Ding, To notify the host, it applies a lot of mental energy, no living beings can be stored in the inventory, and the bigger the object the more strain is placed on the host's consciousness}.

Hearing what he had unlocked, he was submerged with happiness and could no longer comprehend how to react to the constant stream excellent news.

The pill lay there on the ground, yelling at him to eat it, but he couldn't use it as he couldn't move in the sparsest.

Suddenly it struck him.

[I possess the Telekinetic Control Eye].

While he thought that, his eyes had a mysterious tingling sensation, and he felt like he had a bond with all objects within his eyesight and region, and felt as though he could sense, perceive and feel the objects and the expanse around him.

It was as though he had intangible energy that he could use to command and manipulate everything around him to do his bidding.

Elevating the pill easily with his Telekinetic Control Eye, he held it for a while, to open his jaws and arranged the pill in his mouth.

It instantly melted in his mouth and inserted itself into his bloodstream.

Lex sensed his body growing warm and his disordered organs began to move slightly realigning as his splintered bones started to reconnect slowly.

But the means was too sluggish, so he seized a thought albeit very unpleasant, would hasten up the process.

He began to use his Telekinetic Control to realign his limbs, forcefully pushing the bones back to their places, which generated him a lot of pain, but was meriting.

Lex felt that him pushing his bones forcefully, was helping his recovery process as the warmth continued to circulate through his body.

The watch on his wrist made a sudden BEEP, and he couldn't help but apply his Telekinetic control to lift his arm to a position that he could see the display of the watch.

Certainly, on the watch, it affirmed LVL 2.

More tears of glee began to engulf his face, as Lex, who was constantly tyrannized and being looked down upon as weak, to then suddenly gain a heaven-defying opportunity, didn't know how to react.

It was truly an indescribable excitement, while he also realised that the impact one pill bought him was superior his 4 years of hard work.

Nevertheless, the tears were temporary and came to a pause as his expression shifted to one that was furious, remembering those that oppressed and tyrannized him.

He strained his eyes to raise his upper body, to a further comfortable sitting posture that helped his blood to stream more conveniently, as the warmth proceeded to spread throughout every individual cell in his body, slightly strengthening and recovering them.

[System, can I use a foundation tempering pill more than once every day], he questioned impatiently, desiring to get stronger as promptly as he could and get his revenge.

{Ding, if the host takes more than one every day, the outcomes will be diminished and the host's body may not be able to endure the overdose and could undergo serious consequences}

Hearing this he was slightly disappointed and after resting for 2 days without having to consume or drink, due to the nutrients contributed by the pill, he had recovered.

Although he hadn't recovered to his zenith performance, he had recovered enough for him to do basic exercises.

Throughout the two days of waiting to take each pill, he had regularly experimented with his Telekinetic Control Eye and observed that the more massive the object, he tried to lift or move, the more strain and pain his eyes and brain would experience.

He was left with 2 more pills, which he used periodically and after training and meditating, while attempting to lift and move objects, increasing the proficiency, control and range of his ability, he was elated with the sensation of gaining strength.

Using the third pill, he had almost completely recovered and further levelled up to LVL 4.

He strolled towards the stream, close to where he plunged off the cliff, and looked at his reflection.

"Wow, When did I become this good-looking! " he blurted out in shock.

Although he wasn't overly charming, his appearance was above average with his features chiselled, more definite, yet still dainty and also had smooth skin, that was now covered in dirt.

Which opposed with his brown scruffy and curly hair, making him look much better than he did before. Not to mention his chiselled and his deep blue eyes with a bizarre enchantment implant in them, that gave him a unique charm. 

He was now no longer as skinny as a twig, but was still somewhat malnourished.

Withdrawing his Eye Power, he could see that the mysterious pattern faded, but the shade was still the same.

Seeing the fish splash by, although the pill could sustain his body, he still felt starved and his belly began growling.

He squatted alongside the river and applying his Telekinetic Control Eye, he grabbed a fish with accuracy and lay it on the ground beside him.

He allowed it to flip around in suffocation continuously until it died.

Lex then searched for and secured a kindle and applied some parched grass as combustible.

Applying his Telekinetic power, he began kindling, and presently a fumy and golden, hot flame was ignited.

Shortly after the flame developed bigger and began roasting the skewered fish atop the blaze, which presented a somewhat glistening and greasy coating on the fish.

The more the fish cooked, the more his desire to eat it increased, despite it not being seasoned.

Inhaling the pleasing aroma of roasted fish, he sprang to devour it, while he prepared another, controlling it with his eyes.

Consuming approximately 6 average-sized fish, he ultimately felt full and reinvigorated and then drank water from the stream.

He began hooking fishes with his Eyes, for the forthcoming days, and even stored some in the inventory in event of crisis.

According to what he had been told by the system, the inventory was a different space entirely, where time didn't exist, so there was no need for him to worry about them spoiling.

Observing his body that was full energy, he began to train and strengthen his eyes and body.

He would train, then rest for an hour waiting for his body to regain its energy, then return to his training.

After waiting for another day, while training his control over his Eye Power, he presently had a pile of fish alongside him from his training

The day was spent all while he was training, lifting objects and fishing with his eyes.

He withdrew the fourth pill, that appeared in his hand, and used his Telekinetic Control Eye to lift the pill and place it in his mouth.

After taking the fourth pill he heard the same notification sound from his wristwatch, notifying him that he had increased in LVL once again.

For each pill, his LVL rose by one LVL for a low LVL Mortal like Lex.

All beings would begin at LVL 1, but that didn't mean they were all equal.

Their background, lifestyle, and talent were influential factors on how powerful they would be able to grow and become.

If he could sell the pills, he was sure he could make a fortune, but he would only be inviting undesired trouble and attention and with his prevailing identity as deceased, and it wouldn't be too surprising for someone to conclude that he had come across some sort of treasure.

He got up, without the help of his eye control, and headed towards the region where he camped and cleansed the entire place.

He presented it to look as natural as he could and as though nobody had been there, as to prevent suspicion and cover his tracks.

Next, he strolled near the cliff and peered up to the 20-metre towering cliff with prejudice, which seemed utterly unreliable to scale utilizing hands, due to its small and sleek stones.

It was almost perfectly 90 degrees erect, and it would be almost impossible to scale it with his body alone.

He resolved to suppress all emotions, for the time being, and while not desiring to spend any more time in his current situation, he vowed that he would train his Eye Power as much as he could to be able to get back over the cliff and get his revenge.
