Chapter 16: Bio-Mechanical Soldier, Mutated Talent

Ram's thoughts were interrupted as he noticed another person waking up in a nearby bed. Seizing the chance, he spoke softly, hoping to gather some information.

"Hey, are you okay?" Ram asked quietly, his eyes darting to the door to make sure the guards weren't listening.

The other person, a young man with a mixture of confusion and fear, nodded cautiously. "I think so... but I don't remember how I got here."

Ram leaned in closer, lowering his voice even more. "Do you know anything about the Shadow Society? They're the ones who brought us here."

At the mention of the Shadow Society, the young man's eyes widened in fear. "The Shadow Society? They're behind this? I've heard rumors about them... nothing good. What do they want with us?"

Ram's heart raced, hopeful. "You've heard of them? Then, do you know anything about the Mind Shadow Parasite?"

Before the young man could answer, a menacing guard with a heavy sword slung across his back interrupted. His voice dripped with warning, "Shut it, or you'll regret it."

Both Ram and the young man fell silent. Ram slumped back, frustration bubbling inside him.

His hopes of getting information had been dashed, and now he had no choice but to wait.

Glancing at the guard, Ram felt a sudden urge to check his attribute panel on the man. Focusing on his thoughts, a detailed panel appeared before him.

[ Name: L7B21]

[ Age: 13/47]

[ Race: Human/Semi-Mechanical]

[ Profession: Bio-Mechanical Soldier]

[ Level: Tire -3]

[ Physique: 57.2]

[ Spirit: 3.6]

[Technology: Low-Level Mechanical Fire (Pseudo), Bio-Engineered Enhancements]

[ Description: Bio-Engineered human warrior, infused with the power of low-level Mechanical Fire (Pseudo), transformed into a semi-mechanical being with traces of both mechanical life and blood life, superior strength, agility, and endurance. Though retaining the essence of their former self, they cannot advance on their own unless a high-level Mechanical Fire is used.]

His 'Recovery' ability had acted more swiftly than expected, not only returning him to full health but also making him feel even more energized.

That's when he noticed a small change on his attribute panel—there was a +1 next to his health bar.

"Status" Ram recited in his mind wanting to check his status page. And a holographic window with details appeared in front of him.

[ Name: Ram]

[ Health: 100/100 (+1)]

[ Spiritual Power: 84/100]

"What's this?" Ram muttered, staring at the +1 next to his health bar. It wasn't something he had seen before.

He concentrated on the status, trying to figure out what it meant.

The +1 seemed to indicate extra health that he could store beyond his maximum, like a buffer. "Does this mean I can store extra health and use it later?"

As he pondered this, the implications hit him. If his Recovery talent allowed him to regenerate more health than his maximum, he could accumulate extra points every day.

"If I'm right, I can build up an extra reserve of 1,440 health points and Spiritual Power every day," Ram realized. "In one week, that's over 10,000 points of extra health and spiritual power. This is huge."

He grinned. His Recovery talent was much more powerful than he'd thought.

Not only did it restore his health and spiritual energy, but it also allowed him to store more, giving him a huge advantage in long-term battles or survival situations.

But he couldn't celebrate yet. Ram still had to figure out how to escape the Shadow Society's grasp. His Spiritual Planter skills were still at Level 1, and he needed to grow stronger.

He also needed more information about the Mind Shadow Parasite inside him. As it stood, the parasite was dormant, but he had no idea what would happen when it woke up.

"The first step is to figure out how to gain experience and level up," Ram thought.

If his Recovery talent was this powerful, who knew what else his Spiritual Planter profession could unlock?
