Chapter 25: Reflections (Viktor's part), gradually understanding the chaos.
While Lucia was deep in thought, Marcus insisted to Viktor that they should go to the police station.
He refused several times, saying that their group preferred freedom to hunting. Although it seemed a pity to Marcus, he did not insist further.
'It will be troublesome to report this'
'Well...Nothing to do.'
Knowing that the group could take care of themselves in normal situations, he didn't try to force anything.
"At least as contact could they add us? "He questioned.
"Of course...Besides that 5000 Scoins debt, I plan to pay it off "Viktor said.
"Let me get into debt with the system..."
Marcus tried to refuse, but the most he succeeded is that Viktor won't pay him 10000 Scoins and just pay as much as he should pay.
Viktor tried to insist by saying that he should pay him some interest, but Marcus refused, telling him that if he wanted to, he could help him in the future instead of paying with Scoins.
Viktor frowned, but Marcus too was someone who was hardly going to give in, deciding to leave it at that for the time being.
They were soon added to the contact list and the next morning Marcus' group said their goodbyes.
Marcus and his group talked to his family, but now, Viktor was too busy to pay attention.
"This eye...Has incredible potential "Viktor muttered, surprisingly happy.

All this he achieved while he was in a deplorable state, unable to move even a little, he began to contemplate everything he felt in the battle.
At that moment, he remembered how his vision increased and he began to see more things than usual, more things than the enemies' intentions... He also felt his energy, the flow of it and how it fluctuated.
He saw how the energy of the environment shifted around him, forming chaotic energy.
"Perhaps mana itself is what I saw, something that is in nature and by gathering it can be used in different ways. Maybe we only use the part that serves us for what we want, and instead chaos uses all the energy without much control."
"Then chaos would be something like the uncontrolled accumulation of mana...Maybe."
"But then what difference would there be between pure chaos and malignant chaos?"
Being unable to move, he spent his time reflecting. Of course, there were also reflections based on his hatred of his enemies, his love for his parents, his new disability, his hopeless or perhaps hopeful future...
He thought about that rare ability that was a strange armor, that covered him, and that even seemed alive, attacking his enemies, the way energy flowed in this armor was...
Was that chaos?
So, could he combine chaos with different abilities like this armor in the future? Or was this ability something special?
Thousands of thoughts went through his head, he only tried to make the best of them.
Moments later
"Maybe chaos is the concentration of mana or the convergence of different types of mana?"
That was the best he could think of for the moment, he also tried to feel it, unconsciously drawing some of it towards him...
This caused the system stop operation to momentarily cancel and he felt great pain, but it was not in vain...
Moments after that great pain, the reward came... Having acquired 3 skills, all very useful.
His emotions were uncontrollably positive now...A big smile bloomed on his face, and he no longer felt so depressed about his arm.
Chaos' concentration percentage increased a bit the moment he felt this great pain, a total of 3%, which was bad, but it was worth it as he felt he could control it and slow it down slightly, unlike before, which seemed like at most, he controlled it unconsciously.
Although to be more precise, before, he felt like he wasn't controlling it, but his forehead...Or something on his forehead.
'Eye of the great lord...What the fuck would you be?'
'Will it be something like something that will possess me and kill me...Or will it be something that will help me progress?'
What he knew was that now, he felt as if it was a much more important limb than his arm...
One that had only inhabited his body for a few months, and that he didn't quite understand.
But he loved the feeling it gave him.
After this it was already dusk, it had been a while since Marcus had left...
Since Viktor was now incapacitated, he felt quite useless,it was the first time he felt like this since he started hunting.
He began to think of yet another idea...
'It will be for later' Deciding that this new idea could be very useful, he decided to discuss it later.
Now, strangely enough, perhaps out of boredom, or for some other reason, he wanted to spend time with his family.
***
'How lovely the brief moments of peace and quiet' Viktor thought, as he stood with his family eating dinner.
This thought was something that sometimes arose in him, but sometimes he also liked to fight, kill and live a life filled with lots of adrenaline.
"Could you pass me the salt?"
"Ahh... Thank you" Viktor blushed a little in embarrassment, as his mother, was cutting his food for him...
Normally he would have complained and insulted her, but now, he felt grateful...
He now couldn't even cut his food.
"Mom..." He muttered under his breath...
He had long been accustomed to using the name "Emma" in that kindly figure that is his mother.
Such a simple word, but one he hadn't said in a long time.The whole family felt closer by a simple word and a simple dinner.
