Chapter 69: Editor's Manual
But your majesty, this... I can't accept this, you may have lost your power but you are still our king"
"A human can not lead the Strigoi, we... You are a proud race and besides how do you plan I defend myself when the thirst begins" the man said as he chuckled
This event was one he deeply regretted taking part of. Thousands of years of existence and yet he had stupidly chosen to anger a god.
"My king?"
"I will be seeing you all when I can" the man said before leaving the room.
His time was done here, hopefully the Editor will have mercy on him and reverse this curse. Giving the man one last look, he left the room.
Meanwhile in another part of the world, David could be seen sitting in his study but unlike normal, he wasn't trying to invent anything or create a livestream as usual.
Instead he could be seen staring at several holographic screens floating before him. Each on live footage of each member of his family, most sleeping and some simply on their phones.
"Absolute Survival" David said with his hand on his chin.
[Ability Registered and Shared]
"Increasing their physicality will be too obvious and currently unneeded, Nous increase luck"
[Ability *Increased Luck* registered and shared]
"That should do it all, now I just need to focus on increasing my power, Nous do you have any suggestions"
[I can't give suggestions as it is against my nature as an Omniscient]
"Still one of the stupidest rules I have ever heard"
[But it is what you have to deal with for now]
"Anyway I was thinking, since my training mirrors Eastern Cultivation, I should have some form of energy which I absorb right?"
[Qi, or Life force]
"What if I create a room with dense Qi to increase my training speed even further?" David asked
"So I'm not human?" David asked as he looked at the book skeptically.
Out of everything he was seeing here, it said that apparently as soon as an Editor, makes their first Edit. He or she automatically becomes a full fledged Editor both genetically and all.
"So the Editors are a race"
[A Cosmic race but yes]
"Then if I get sick how am I to recieve treatment then?" David asked worried for his life.
[Editors are beyond sickness but then again, you are the weakest Editor so far but not to worry, if you do somehow get sick, you can simply Edit said illness away]
"That isn't helping my case, I am no longer human and it never occurred to you to inform me about it at all"
[Again, you never asked and never showed the intent on knowing] Nous answered
"Of course" David said giving up on the argument.
At this point, he was beginning to think that creating Nous was a mistake and a waste of an Edit.
The only help, it had rendered him so far was making him. Rich and setting him on this weird path of cultivation that he could have mitigated by simply granting himself some reality
altering power.
As for the Event itself, it had only just told him that it couldn't tell him. 'It was Classifed'
Though he complained even he knew the benefits of having Nous by his side despite it not giving him what he wanted. It still gave him all he needed and when he needed it. Despite all, David still quietened down to continue reading the book after all it's content were his life.
...
The next day, David and Fadila's could be seen standing in front of the house with most of the
family.
"This boy, make sure you take care of my daughter very well for me, you hear?" Fadila's father said as he pulled him for a hug.
"I will sir, she is my wife to be, do I have a choice" David replied with a smile as Fadila's cheeks flushed red.
With her response, the entire family laughed. Behind the man, David could see Fadila's mother who was talking to his Aunty.Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om
