The next morning, the sun was up and shining brightly and the cries of birds and pedestrians rose and fell with tamed wether beasts roaming around.
Cain woke up suddenly and got out of bed mechanically due to his past experience, only to remember he was the only one at home.
"Right, I am the only one at home" he muttered.
As he laid back on the bed, he recalled yesterday's event.
Was that all a dream?
Maybe i was really wasted that i was hallucinating those things...
[You weren't] replied the voice
Well, this voice is solid proof he wasn't.
"So, first question, what are you?" asked Cain.
"I believe i should know, right?"
[ User is qualified to access this information]
[The name is Omnific Tesseract]
"Omi.... what?"
[Omnific Tesseract]
"Omnific Tesseract... what do you do? ...." asked Cain as he sat up straight.
[Access Denied]
"What are you made of?"
[Access Denied]
"Who made you?"
[Access Denied]
"Who created you?" ...
[Access Den...]
"What do you mean by access is denied? ... you owe me an explanation for taking my essences without my permission" he said as he stared visibly angry with the cube thing...
[The essences were needed to unlock the second condition of the Omnific Tesseract]
"???"
"What does that have to do with me.... return my essences if I am not getting any access to you, how do i keep you with me if i can't have access to the information that might potentially keep me alive," said Cain as yesterday's memory was still fresh in his head...
[There are limited privileges given to the said User]
"Oohh... and they are "... he muttered.
Now his interest has been pinned.
*ting*
[ Active Skill]: Omnific eye
[The user can use the Tesseract to scan any Daemon and see little of their information]
[Any information regarding the Ewer or Daemon]
[Conditions are:]
-They must be within eyesight----[upgradable]
-They must be within the realms or on the strength of the user----[upgradable]
-The user can only see one random skill----[upgradable]
*ting*
[Passive skill]: Daemons Slot x2
[This enables the user to store multiple Daemons in the Omnific Tesseract]
[Daemons are kept in a different dimension within the O.T, and are accessible by the user]
[Conditions are:]
-The Daemon should be within range of capture...[upgradable] …[15meters]
*ting*
[Active skill]: Skill Box
[The user is able to utilize the skills of any available Daemon in the Daemon Slot]
"Ooffff.... you should have said so sooner" he said with a grin.
The Omnific eye sure comes quite in handy. This active skill should reduce any surprise attack skill of my opponent down to zero.
This is like giving a tiger wings.
He will not just see their Daemon but also see their skills too...
Being able to already see his enemy's skill is enough to blow this teenager's mind up.
Knowing your opponent's skills before they use them is indeed a solid advantage.
And counter, if it was possible, it would be a complete game changer for Cain.
And Daemon slot ... this word gives me joy more than anything ... and he has two slots.
Two slots that means two Daemons...
'Doesn't this mean I am one in a hundred genius' Cain holding sweaty hands as he thought carefully.
A Daemon practitioner can only awaken one Daemon in the Offinit realm, known as the awaken stage.
The beginning of Daemon cultivation
And that Daemon will only be used till they grow further in their realms...
Only when they evolve to a stronger Ewer
Will they be strong enough to awaken the second Daemon
But one in a hundred genius doesn't really abide by those rules...
Because they are the best of their generation with more potential than the others, as they are showered with so many resources that can easily bring envy to anyone.
As they awaken two Daemons right from the start
Therefore, only when he will not really lag behind, this daemon slot put him at a very good start.
As the dual Daemon Ewer are not too rare but are very uncommon.
As any city can have 50 dual Ewers and over 1000 single Ewers...
In fact, there are also triple Ewer users
As those are genius among geniuses, many companies, academies and provinces spare no face to recruit this genius at any cost.
They are the cream of the top.
That means he will be able to get enough resources just by having two Daemons.
As a teenager, getting recognition is the most important card on his table.
And thus, be able to do what he wants while not being suspicious of his rapid growth.
Well, the Skill box does give me butterflies... thought Cain with tears in his eyes as he read through the skill info.
He has access to all the skills of his Daemon`s
Though, he might not fully understand what it does.
He has a class teacher to ask, doesn't he? Thought Cain while smiling stupidly...
Today, he planned to go see his friends. He will use this opportunity to try out this Omnific eye.
It was indeed worth it for the cube to use the essence in others to have these skills...
It's worth it
Sorry mum, sorry dad, your essence was put to good use....
There is not a single loss so far after the mysterious cube took those essences
Instead, he gained quite a lot.
`From these skills alone, who can stop my rising as a star,' he thought with a lewd expression.
This is a secret he should take to the very grave.
Who knows, who might secretly envy him to the point of dissecting him to get information about his secret?
And taking his precious cube from him...
And won't they finish me off, after they have taken the cube and be left to rot or feed to the wether beast and have no proper burial...
[???]
Therefore, he decided nothing would make him talk about the cube, even if death is inevitable.
But he would rather not jinx himself right now, would he?
Positive thought only ...he mentally repeatedly sang this sutra.
"Have you seen your parents, Daemon, Cain" asked Tang Ming with an expectant look.
"Yeah, Cain tells us" ... said George, feeling the same...
--------------
A while back, when Cain was in the house ....
Cain stood up from bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen up ...
He took the cube and headed out to meet his friends at their normal place.
The roof top of Tang Ming house...
----------
Back to the question...
"Well, sorry to disappoint you guys... my mum has travelled out" ... he said with a gloomy look.
"Not a problem, you can have us any time you want ..." said George with a sympathetic look...
What did he say?
George's statement brought forth disgusted faces from his friends...
What a perverted man
"It came out wrong ok... i mean to say ... you have us brothers" as George tried to clarify himself.
Knowing that they wouldn't change their views of him at the moment, he stopped talking...
"But they left their essences ..." Cain said to remove the awkward atmosphere.
`But was swallowed up by a glutton` ... Cain thought...
[The essences were used to activate the Omnific Tesseract]
`Stop listening to my thoughts ok... can`t i have a moment of privacy even in my thoughts` Cain argued mentally...
Ever since the mysterious cube synchronized with me, it has always be reading my thoughts no matter how I tried to hide them.
What might seem like a long conversation in Cain's mind only happened in an instant...
"That's better, at least you could easily awaken" said Wright, as others nodded in agreement...
"So, have you seen your parents, Daemon?" asked Cain, trying to change the subject.
"Yep, i have," replied George with a proud expression.
"Okk... we start from you then "as Cain indirectly said, his other friends' thoughts.
"Hmmm... listen closely..."
"My Dad`s Daemon is the War Bear while my mom's Daemon is the Armor Spirit"
"No wonder you have such a physique" stated Wright, as the others nodded in confirmation.
"...and a dumb brain" continued Tang Ming as the others burst out laughing.
"Hey... I am not dumb" ... said George with serious denial
*ting*
[War Bear]: 2 evolution potential
[This werebear warrior is known as the war-loving bear. It will continue to fight till its last breath]
[With a fur so strong enough to repel swords and spears, and are known for their robust arms with claws as deadly as swords made to rip their opponent into meat paste]
[As this Daemon roams the Daemon dimension plane in search of a worthy battle to quench this battle maniac's thirst…]
[Grade:] C
[Skill]: War Cry----[E]
*ting*
[Armor Spirit]: 3 evolution potential
[These spirits are entities that exist to possess another Daemon with a symbiotic relationship in mind]
[They have no attack power whatsoever but can defend against attacks from other Daemons, and this has left them at the bottom level on the evolution plane]
[As they possess another Daemon, they offer defense in exchange for protection and food as they eat the leftover of what the possessed Daemon has eaten]
[Grade:] D
[Skill]: Possess----[F]
´So, this is information about George parents Daemon` he thought.
[Affirmative]
`Therefore, even though the Armor Spirit has a lower grade, it still has the same potential as the War Bear`
[Yes]
`George might get an Armored Bear if he awakens`
[The probability should be close to 80% if he awakens]
"Cain!" a familiar voice spoke with concern as it's brought Cain from his inner thought.
"Hey, Cain, are you okay... why do you keep looking in front of you?" asked Tang Ming with a concerned gaze.
"Huh... emmm... do you see a blue screen in front of me? " asked Cain with a cautious gaze as he was suddenly interrupted from his thought...
"What blue screen?" said Tang Ming, as he turned to look at what his friend was looking at with a confused expression...
"Well, that shows I am not the dumb one, huh..." stated George, now feeling proud that he wasn't the only dumb one in their group.
They completely ignoring George's statement...
"Just forget what i said, i was just spouting nonsense," said Cain as he waving his hands for his questions to be ignored.
`They can't see it... am i insane´ he asked mentally.
[Negative]
`So why can't they see it? `
[The Omnific Tesseract only synchronized with you]
`Does that mean it can synchronize with them too? `
[Access to Information Denied]
`As expected, you won't answer` as he exited his thoughts and faced Tang Ming.
"Tang Ming, what about you?" ... he asked.
"Oohh mine.... well, my dad Daemon is the Lightning Centipede Whip while my mum is the Blueflame Tigon" replied Tang Ming with a wryly smile...
*ting*
[Lightning Centipede Whip]: 2 evolution potential
[This is a weapon Daemon in a form of a whip with sentient, with the body of a centipede, as its limbs are like pointed daggers.]
[It wraps and unleashes different whips attack and releases deadly quick attacks which can stun or paralyze their opponent]
[This Daemon enables its Ewer to learn whips attack and defend skills effectively]
[Grade]: D
[Skill]: Constrict----[F]
*ting*
[Blueflame Tigon]: 1 evolution potential
[This Daemon is not only a vicious predator in the Daemon's dimensional place, it is also known as the Flame Tyrant]
[It roams its world, causing destruction on its part.]
[It's also known for its blue flame, which doesn't burn but freezes]
[Grade]: C
[Skill]: Blue Fireball-----[C]
'It has mention about this plane again .... If I ask again I will definitely be ignored'.
The friends couldn't help but be surprised at the tyrannical name of his family, Daemon...
"Tang Ming, your family Daemon's name sounds more menacing than mine."
"After we awaken, we have to fight" said George with excitement as his battle intent surged...
Instantly, Cain and Wright felt pity for Tang Ming as he had no way out of this one this time.
Coincidentally, every single one of them wants to battle each other and know who is stronger.
Naturally, this is going on every teenager's mind that is yet to awaken...
"It remains you, Wright," said Cain...
The stone cold, four eyes Wright arrange his glasses as he stood up and went to stand in front of his friends.
Tang Ming could already foresee what this stone face was about to do...
"My family bloodline Daemon is known as the Soul Worn Mask" declared Wright, as he is giving a speech, only to continue with a battle intent that surpasses George's own
"And when i awaken, i hereby announce to every one of you..."
"I challenge Cain to a battle... if i win... i will take the leader position... and if i lose.... i will follow you till i die", Wright stated with so much passion that could only ignite Cain's hidden trait that he took from his Mother...as Wright placed his hands in front of Cain
Wa Frenzy
With emotions all over the place
Cain smiles so broadly that it puts the Joker to shame ....
"Hahahahah... Deal .... see you after the awakening", Cain said as he took Wright's hand and accepted the challenge with the same enthusiastic expression....
[Challenge Accepted]
George by the corner was also feeling the heat, he couldn't help and excitedly said...
"Count me in too... none of you are keeping me out of this .... hahahahah"
"Me too" as Tang Ming joined....
And what followed after was a laugher that was not just only battle intent but a moment to reform their bond...
