It was already nighttime, and I finally found the book, but why does it look plain?
Looking at the plain-looking book, I don't even know if it's real.
As the novel didn't describe what the talent enchantment looks like,
And countless hours had already passed, and this is the only thing I found, so it's the real one.
My luck was so terrible that it took me a whole day just to find this.
If this is real, then it would work if I opened it, but let's take a breather first.
I said, As I'm already tired of walking, having only 2 on stamina is really bad. I should improve it before going to X Academy.
…
After some break, I finally decided to open the talent enchant.
"Ok, let's pray that this is the real thing," I said as I opened the book.
At first nothing happened.
Minutes passed, still nothing.
…
I began thinking it was fake, and I didn't find the real one when the book started glowing.
And my body froze.
Even using mana, I can't move.
Minutes later, black blood started leaking from me, and it hurts.
It hurts like hell.
"Urgghhhhhhh!!!!"
"Arghhhhhhhh!!!!!"
"Shittt, whattttt theee heeellll isss thisss?"
The cave was full of my screaming that normal humans' ears would already be destroyed by the noise.
It just hurts like you're being beheaded every second; it's getting stronger, and I feel like dying.
I don't know how much time passed, but my screaming still continued.
The pain was just too much.
Dying feels nice compared to this.
Why did I even think of getting this? Did I really think I'm the MC?
I'm just a worthless nobody.
Even my stats have 0 on luck.
Did transmigration really get into my mind, thinking that I'm some protagonist?
In the end I'm just a worthless nobody.
…
Countless hours passed, and my screaming began to quiet down.
The pain still hurts like hell, but after some time I got used to it.
That feeling of pain is now just like how I felt in the previous world.
If I get used to it, it shouldn't hurt anymore.
So I got used to it.
…
The pain began to lessen, and I noticed that my skin was darker than charcoal.
Did the pain really burn myself?
I don't know what happened, but my vision suddenly went blurry.
My senses started fading.
And I fell asleep.
…
Without Leo knowing, his body started getting wrapped by something liquid.
And after his body got wrapped by that slimy, wet thing
It turned into a cocoon.
A black and gold cocoon
Without him knowing, his body inside the cocoon started peeling itself.
If people saw this, they'd probably get disgusted.
The smell inside the cocoon was hideous, but the cocoon kept on absorbing the black liquid and bad smell every time he felt himself
…
While Leo was evolving inside the cocoon, the world also noticed his existence.
Instead of branding him as an anomaly of the world
The world was instead happy that he's @)$+-#@;;$_+(#
Because he's +2((#(##(_#(#(#
…
Inside the cocoon, Leo was back at the void where he was sleeping before waking up here, and it was just yesterday. Time sure flies fast. Is he
Moving, but Leo seemed to feel like the void is a good sleeping place.
A quiet place
Darkness that just comforts you
And a comfortable bed
He doesn't know how a bed appeared here, but it feels nice and comfy.
The day went by, but Leo was sleeping comfortably here.
While his body inside the cocoon still keeps peeling itself
It's like a snake that peels itself.
But the difference is Leo doesn't eat his peeled skin, but the cocoon eats it.
…
Just 2 days before the academy, the cocoon finally opened.
And a boy with midnight hair
Beautiful pale skin
And fiery sharp eyes
And a handsome face
After his peeling, his body also evolved and became better, but his muscle, well, not too much.
As Leo opened his eyes, he found out that he's naked.
What happened? Why am I naked?
Oh, my body feels better. What happened? It feels like my body evolved.
"Status"
~~STATUS~~
Name: Leo Dawnstar
Rank: Rank 8
Strength: 8
Agility: 11
Intelligence: 13
Stamina: 6
Mana: 51
Luck: -1
Charm: 12
Fate: 1
Class: Elemental Thread manipulator
Gifts: Mana eyes, borrow
Ability: none
…
Looking at my stats I can't help but feel excited as my stats improve from trash to average student level
My mana was the only thing carrying me before and the reason why I ranked 199.
And I now have two gifts at that.
Mana eyes: The mana guide you to the opponent's weakness.
Borrow: You can borrow anyone's gift for a limited time.
3 slots
My gifts are good. With these stats, I could probably say I rank in the top 100.
But my mana is in the top 10.
And my charm, it increased. Yes, finally, could this be considered handsome now in this world?
As beauty is enhanced in this world by mana
But my luck, wow, it's terrible. -1. What kind of luck is that?
And what the hell are fate stats? I don't think the novel has this stat.
But my stamina is still terrible. How much time has passed anyway?
I thought as I checked my phone, Which survived? But my clothes didn't.
And how the hell am I leaving this place naked?
As I checked the time, it was 12:35 midnight and 2 days away from class.
I don't know how my body evolved just because of the talent enchant, but every stat is sacred, so why would I care if I just suddenly got a power-up? In the end, it's still a power-up.
I should probably get out of this mountain if I don't want to get expelled from the academy.
As I said that, I dashed out of the mountain.
With now above-average stats coming down is easy.
And climbing probably would be easier with this evolved body of mine.
