Chapter 51: CHAPTER 50 - Analytic eyes.

The AI and Alex, both of them, were now confused about the gift.

If it was not a certain god, then who was it?

Alex was sure that this certain god was the same woman from before.

Her voice was the most enchanting voice he had ever heard, and that voice was something that no one would be able to forget, even if they were a normal person, much less an assassin like him.

If that was not enough, then the AI had studied the mana signature of this certain god as well.

Alex already knew what a mana signature was and why the AI was able to analyze it; those pieces of information were directly transferred to his head.

Mana signatures are like a unique ID that everyone has. Everyone's mana signature was different, be it an animal or a human.

If someone were to use an ability, they would have to use mana, and using mana means leaving mana signatures behind, and the AI Alex had was a copying AI—something that copied everything from the basics, which included studying the mana signature of a person.

The AI could copy mana signatures as well, but they were useless.

The point was that the AI could easily conclude that the one that transferred it to Alex's body and this certain god were the same since it was active the moment it entered Alex's body; the first thing the AI did was try to copy that woman's ability, only to fail.

The AI, however, did study her mana signature, so it was sure, just like Alex.

Yet now, the same god was saying that she never gifted something…

'Could it be a trick from her side?'

Alex questioned with a frown.

If they were sure that it was that god who gave the gift, then there was only this one possibility left.

Yes, that was the question.

Why?

Why would she lie?

What was she playing at?

What was her goal?

Neither the AI nor Alex had the answer to those questions.

They were not omniscient; they didn't know everything—no, they knew close to nothing about this fantasy-filled world.

All they could do was be careful with every step they took.

Alex's eyes turned toward the system interface and stared at the gift section for a while with an unreadable expression.

As he kept at it, the AI questioned as if reading his thoughts.

Alex didn't answer the AI; he just kept staring at the system interface with the same cryptic expression.

The next moment, however, his finger moved toward the gift section and...

*Tap*

It touched the gift section, revealing the gift that was given to him.

'Yes.'

Alex finally answered the AI.

He had already made up his mind, and he wasn't going to change it.

He just wasn't completely sure, but after contemplating for a while and taking the changed world into account, he decided to take this risky step.

Alex was going to accept the gift; it could make him stronger, after all.

He needed anything that could help him in this strange, mystical world, no matter what it was.

The gods were way too strong for him to even think about competing with them, but the same couldn't be said for the ones on the earth's surface.

The roar that Alex heard before the second tutorial—a roar that made him feel hopeless as if he would never be able to win against it—the owner of that same roar must be the being residing in the level 99 zone.

'Level 99…'

Alex stared at his own status window.

'Level 4.'

All of his stats were still level 4.

The difference was big, but it wasn't impossible to cover.

The owner of that roar was very strong, and if he could reach that level, which he was sure that he would be able to, then...

Alex's eyes turned to look at the stars up in the sky, a determined light shining in his eyes.

What was stopping him from one day getting as strong as them?

His gaze then shifted to the largest star in the sky.

What was stopping him from being able to complete with her one day?

Yes, right now he was weak—undoubtedly so.

But he wasn't going to stay the same in a day.

He will be stronger tomorrow, and he will keep growing every day.

One day, he was going to get above all of them…

A sharp light flashed through Alex's eyes as he gazed at the stars.

In this apocalyptic world, everything is about risks; you won't be able to live long if you don't take risks.

Alex did the same; he decided to take a risk.

He didn't know what this certain god was planning by lying to him, but he decided to play along with her.

Even if it was a trick, he would take it head-on.

Yeah, he could literally lose his life, but that is why it was a risk.

Alex's eyes then finally moved toward the supposed gift that was the root of everything that was happening.

[GIFTS: -

1. Sender - (Unknown): {A gift from yours truly! teehee!}

(Click on the gift to open the gift.)]

That was all Alex could see in the gift section.

The sender was 'unknown', making it impossible for Alex to be able to make a guess, and even the gift's name was changed.

Nothing informative was seen here.

'Sigh…'

Looking at that, Alex could only sigh in resignation.

He hoped that he would be able to receive some information about the gift before he took the risk.

It would've been better that way, since he would not accept the gift if it were something useless. Now, however, he had no other choice.

*Click*

Alex clicked at the gift, wanting to see what he was getting, and the next moment, a new ability was added to his skill tab on the status window.

[>Analytic eyes (???) (Level 1- Tier 1) – 'Know your enemy before you start a fight', this ability helps you do just that.

-> Inspect: If the enemy is within a 10-level difference, you can look at their complete status. If within 50, you can look at their stats, and for those above 50, you can only look at their level.

-> Status guard: Unless someone has inspection ability with a rank higher than ???, they won't be able to look at your status. Sёarᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

-> Mapping: A place you have once been to will never be new to you; you will have a detailed map of that area in your mind.

-> Infrared vision: No matter whether it's nighttime or daytime, no hot-blooded living being could hide from your sight.

-> (Locked)

-> (Locked)

<]

'Question mark?'

The first question that Alex had in his mind after looking at the ability was the question mark.

Why were there question marks at the spot where the rank of the ability was supposed to be written?

That question, however, is just a way of Alex expressing his confusion.

He didn't ask that question for the AI to answer.

The system couldn't judge the rank of this ability, or he was too weak to look at it.

These were the most plausible reasons he could think of, and so did the AI.

So, after pondering about it for a bit, he let it go.

His eyes finally took in the information about this new skill.
