Novel Boss
Chapter 7: Sleep
Aiden, who has found mostly everything about his talent, thinks, 'If I want to find more about my talent and physique, I have to use it myself and then learn more about it little by little'
"Well, I can't do that now. I am pretty sure that without any mana present in the world, my talent wouldn't be able to use my talent, so I had to wait untill my word evolves" Aiden said this while conforming his guess to the system.
As the same feminine voice sounded in Aiden's mind,
[Host, your guess is correct.]
[You cannot use your talent, but you still use the abilities of your physique and even train your body physically to improve your stats.]
"Hmm, I have to train myself hard before the world evolves. I only have five years left." Aiden said this while thinking about his sister. ' Yes, I had to definitely train my big sister Alice with me before the world evolve and make many more preperation for it'
Aiden comes out of his thoughts, focuses on his surroundings, and sees the horrifying sight of a dead body covered in a layer of ice.
he had noticed it earlier but that was when he was injured and couldn't focus much at the time now he looked all around him he had the urge to vomit but he stopped himself from vomit as his mother was also one of the victims and steeled his resolve.
With a resolute look on his face, he finds a blanket in the destroyed trash and uses it to cover his mom's body as tears threaten to leak from his extremely handsome face. He says this while holding himself back from crying.
"Mom, I will definitely bring you back to life and also protect my sister with everything I have." He promises himself while covering her beautiful face only before giving her a long kiss on the forehead, which lasts 10 seconds.
As he stood there and began walking a few steps ahead, he finally stopped and controlled his emotions. If he was near his mom, his body wouldn't stop shaking.
Then suddenly, a red screen appeared in front of his eyes.
[WARNING!!!]
[HOST WILL BE PUT TO SLEEP FOR 3 MONTHS]
[TIME UNTIL FORCED SLEEP STARTS: 5 MINUTES]
Seeing the warning in front of him out of nowhere, Aiden yelled from the top of his lungs.
"What the fuck is this system? Force sleep for three fucking months? Fucking hell might as well just kill me, you sick bastard?" Aiden might not have cursed him this much if not for his emotions, which are still slightly unstable.
After calming down while taking a deep breath, Aiden asked the system quickly for an explanation as the same feminine voice sounded in his mind.
[Host, firstly, after the crash, as your body has healed quickly while merging with mine, take a toll on your mortal body.]
[And after your talent awakening, your stats increase, but your body and soul both need rest.]
"Well, if you put it that way, it seems pretty reasonable, but my body feels better than before, and I think I can go on like that without the so-called 3-month coma," Aiden said it in a sarcastic tone as System replied.
[You can choose not to go into forced sleep, but it will affect your future foundation.]
"That's good. According to my calculations, polar bears will find this place in 2 to 3 days due to the strong smell of blood, and if I am asleep, how can I protect my mom's body until the rescue team finds this place?" Aiden said while continuing.
Because he didn't want his body to get eaten by polar bears, as their keen sense of smell allows them to find their prey from kilometers away.
He also wanted his sister to see her body one last time.
"I think they will find us in 2 to 5 days, mostly, and I don't want to risk while sleeping and leave everything to my shitty luck." Aiden had a grumpy face as a system voice sounded in his mind.
[Host, you will be put to sleep to avoid any future problems in your cultivation.]
"You! Fuc–" Aiden was about to continue to have a systemic feminine voice in his mind again.
[Host, I have a solution to your problem, but you can not only save yourself but also protect your mother's body from any harm.]
"Okay, quickly tell me what that is," Aiden asked hurriedly. as the system's feminine voice continued.
[Host, I will put an illusion on you and your mother until other humans find you, and using that, I will also create some wounds on your body so that people will not get suspicious of you.]
"Okay, nothing can be better than this. I have also thought about creating some wounds on my body to avoid attracting the attention of the United Human Federation." Aiden's said with a grim face.
While thinking about the federation, Aiden said it with an annoyed tone.
"Those fuckers had been pestering my mother since I was six years old to join me in their classified genius nurturing program."
His mother rejected their proposal, again and again, saying she only wanted her son to have a happy life and choose whatever he would decide.
As he knew, his mom also didn't want to give, and he also had no interest in joining it. Knowing his mom is gone, they will definitely make him join, but not forcefully.
If the world knows that they are bullying the son of one of the greatest doctors and researchers of all time, their reputation will surely take a big hit.
I know for sure they definitely don't want it, and I also don't want to have a strained relationship with the world's most powerful organization.
Coming out of his thoughts, Aiden said to himself with a cheerful look on his face.
"I just have to hold out until the world's evolution begins, and after that, with all the chaos going on, they will not have the time to think about me."
Once again, the system's feminine voice sounded in his mind.
[But, host, you have to pay for using illusion, as I will not directly interfere with your world.]
"Well, I don't have any money on me right now. How can I pay you?" As the system replied
[Host, your money has no value to me, but you can pay with your stats for the illusion.]
"Okay, how much stat do I need for the illusion put on me and my mom?" Aiden asked.
[Host, you will have to pay with one stat point.]
"Well, that's pretty cheap; I thought it would take at least half of my stats," Aiden said while happy with the system's generosity.
Because he didn't know how difficult it was to earn one stat point.
As Aiden's eyes wandered around to see all the dead people on the ground, he said to the system.
"How many stat points do I need to put an illusion on all the people here?"
[Host, you will need four stat points; I will cast an illusion in this whole area as animals will not notice any of you and one particular on you then show your wounded to people]
[But are you sure about this host?]
The system question sounded in Aiden's mind as he replied with a resolute look on his face.
"Yes, I am very sure about this system. You think I didn't know about the value of the stat but I know they are more valuable than I can imagine. Still, I will pay 4 stat points to cast an illusion on all of them."
He also knew that these people had their families waiting at home and how sad their family would be if they could even find the body of their family member.
They are all innocent people who got themselves involved in this tragedy without knowing anything.
He would not blame himself for this incident because he knows feeling guilty will not do him any good; he will just move forward.
But in the future, if he becomes powerful enough, he will definitely revive all these people if it doesn't harm him or his family, as he promises to himself because, partially, he is also the reason for their deaths.
"For now, at least I can do this for their family members," Aiden said with sadness in his captivating golden-yellow-colored eyes.
After that, he began to focus on the task at hand.
"I had to choose carefully which stats to remove, they will directly affect my survival in the upcoming COAS caused by the world's evolution." Saying this, he said status in his mind.
A transparent blue screen appeared in front of his eyes, it showed his character information.
[Character Information]
[Name: Aiden Cross]
[Age: 11]
[Race: Human???]
[Talent: Celestial(FFF+)] (incomplete)
[Potential: No Limit]
[Mana Cultivation: Mortal Realm]
[Bloodline: None]
[Physique: @#$%@# Physique (Unranked)] (0.5%)
[Health: 75/75]
[Strength: 6.3]
[Agility: 6]
[Stamina: 8.5]
[Mana: 0]
[Vitality:7.5]
[Intelligence: 10.7]
[Defense: 6.5]
[Skills: None]
(Stats Limit of Mortal Humans: 10)
Looking at the information in front of him, Aiden said to himself.
"Well, it definitely wouldn't be intelligence because he had no idea how to improve it, and he didn't know if increasing stats after the limit of humans would be the same; intelligence is definitely a no for me."
"Next defense and vitality are also a no-go for me although he had specific ideas on how to improve them, but he will not choose them. He had read some novels about them. To increase defense, you have to beat yourself up until your defense increases. As for vitality, he is not very sure about it but has some ideas."
"And lastly, strength, agility, and stamina. Well, the choice is pretty simple."
As he began to think about how much to remove from these three, he definitely wouldn't remove all four from a single one.
He spoke to the system after a moment, as he had decided.
"System remove 1.5 from stamina, 1 from agility, and remaining from the strength stat." A feminine voice sounded in his mind.
[Host, are you sure about your choice?]
As he listened to the system confirmation, Aiden replied, "Yes, I am sure of this system."
[Okay host]
A few seconds after listening to the system, voice strength began to leave Aiden's body as he felt his legs going weak. He was definitely sure about one thing, he didn't like this feeling at all.
After a few, he began to feel normal, and he could also feel that he had become a little weaker.
Thanks to his stats increasing due to his physique, he is definitely stronger than before the talent awakening.
Suddenly, the transparent red appeared in front of his eyes again.
[WARNING: ONLY 10 SECONDS REMAINING BEFORE FORCED SLEEP]
Seeing the message in front of Aiden, he quickly began to lay next to his mother and close his captivating golden-yellow-colored eyes.
He quickly fell into a deep slumber.
