Chapter 163 Using The Body Enchantment (Part 2)

Raydon slowly opened his eyes and stood up from the ground, not knowing how much time had passed.

"Damn, that was so unexpected," he grumbled.

There was no sudden pain in his head or feeling of dizziness that caused him to pass out. In contrast, the instant he used the body enchantment, he felt as though his entire body had relaxed and he fell into a rapid and deep sleep.

"I feel amazing like I haven't slept this well in a long time," Raydon said, looking around with gray eyes that seemed to shine even brighter than before.

He was experiencing a surge of euphoria and vitality. His senses were heightened, and he noticed every detail around him with newfound clarity. The air felt charged, and he could see even the tiniest specks of dust floating in the light filtering through the window.

Colors seemed brighter, sounds clearer, and every texture more distinct. He felt as if he could process information faster, and his mind was more alert than ever before. It was a state of heightened awareness and focus that he had been in many times before, but only when he was using his techniques. Even then, it was more powerful than ever this time.

''It feels absolutely incredible. In order to get into such a focused state normally, I have to exert a lot of mental energy. So I guess I was right to assume it was a soul type. It appears that my spirit has grown stronger. This must be the hidden feature of this body enchantment,'' Raydon said.

He realized that his senses had improved, so he checked his character panel, only to find that all of his statistics except stamina were still showing as 1. When he had previously used the Ashen Heart body enchantment, he had a similar sensation that his body had grown stronger, but his stats had not improved.

The fact that his stats hadn't changed despite his clearly improved physical condition surprised him, but he knew the reason for this.

Normally, the system would automatically evolve the bodies of all newly awakened people to level 1 in all stats, regardless of their preexisting conditions.

For instance, even if the person had a disability, the system would completely restore their physical health and fix all of their physical flaws, equating it to 1 stat point. Therefore, if a cripple and a bodybuilder both awaken at the same time and become item holders, they will each possess the same power.

In addition, those qualities will improve even further with the addition of a single point to each stat. An item holder with 10 points of stamina, for instance, would have 10 times more resilience than a recently awakened item holder.

However, those who had body enhancements experienced a different outcome.

Each stamina stat point gained by someone who had a defensive body enchantment was significantly more powerful than stamina points gained by someone who did not have a defensive body enchantment.

''Even its hidden feature is amazing, as one might anticipate from a blue-grade body enchantment. '' With joy, Raydon said.

Because of this body enchantment, his original spirit was further developed, and if he added extra stat points to the spirit in the future, each stat point he added would be more effective than an ordinary item holder.

''So, other than eating meat, what's the drawback? '' He stopped thinking about the advantages and started thinking about the disadvantages when he heard a rumbling sound coming from his stomach.

"Am I already hungry? I recently consumed kilos of meat. '' Raydon reflected.

He worried that he had been out for a much longer period of time than he had realized, but when he checked the time on his phone, he saw that he had been unconscious for only 15 minutes.

Then, believing that the stored energy in his body had been depleted because he had just used the blue-grade body enchantment for the first time, he took the meat that he had previously fried with black flames from his dimensional storage and began to eat it.

After a while of eating, he realized that he had consumed exactly 10 times the amount of meat that would normally be sufficient for him, and he could do nothing but suppress his hunger.

''Is this a normal occurrence? Fehim also had a blue-grade body enchantment, but after consuming half of what I consumed, he appeared satisfied. '' Raydon found it odd that his appetite for meat had increased so drastically after using only one blue-grade body enchantment, but he soon realized why.

''Damn, Is this related to the heightened senses I am currently experiencing? Because I'm constantly in full focus mode, am I using up more energy than I should? ''After giving it some thought, he understood that this was a consequence of this body enchantment.

''Well. Anyhow, I can tolerate it just fine. It appears that I will need to increase the amount of gold coins I spend on my daily rations. '' He said.

His stomach had become a genuine black hole. Even if he consumed kilograms of meat, he would not be satisfied and his belly would not even swell.

After convincing himself that the few extra gold coins he would spend in the future wouldn't make a dent in what he got, he checked the mirror to see if his appearance had changed.

With the exception of an additional glow that appeared in his deep-set gray eyes, everything appeared as it had before. Everything about him looked the same: his hair was still black with some shade of gray and messy, his skin was still white but healthy-looking, and the tattoo-like black veins on his chest that extended from his heart to his neck and left shoulder were still there.

Raydon pulled out a heart-shaped object still burning in crimson flames from his dimensional storage and said, "I wonder what kind of changes this body enchantment will cause on me. ''

Every time he used a body enchantment, it gave him great satisfaction to observe the positive effects on his appearance and strength. Each time, he felt as though he was modifying his favorite car.
