Tut~tut~tut~
Oh, so pitiful.
Combing through the memories, coupled with his own inference, he could see the end of this life at a glance.
As he was ruminating, he suddenly noticed something that was different from the memories he received.
-----------Progress Panel----------
Name: Ren Alaric.
Age: 17.
Talent: Amazing comprehension.
----------------------------------------
A panel?
Yeah, definitely a status panel, popped into his field of vision.
He was stunned for a moment before reacting.
Oh, what else could it have been?
It was his Golden finger, of course.
As expected.
There might be many transmigrators, but the majority of those who made it definitely had cheats.
Those people were usually or mostly mediocre people with gifts from... fate?
Well, whatever it might have been, few were able to stand on their own with no cheats, or it could be said that those who did not make it, were not qualified to have their story told.
In life, most people are ordinary people, and without a cheat, their achievements are limited, even if given another chance at life.
So, as one of the mediocre people...Another chance at life coupled with a cheat?
Well, the peak of this life could be seen at a glance....forget the previous glance.
Ren, already knowing the name of the predecessor from the memories he had received, skipped both the Name and Age parts, focused a little on the Talent part, then took a general view of the panel.
That's it?
Dumbstruck! Oh, he was.
He scrutinized it again for a few moments and....came up with nothing.
Like, what'd he expect? some kind of ...
Although I am glad it is not an intelligent system, but.....that's it?
As an avid webnovel reader, he never liked all those systems with intelligence.
...
Although I would have been sceptical, but, is there really no gift pack or something?
Apparently, the panel title happened to gleam at this moment as if answering his thought.
Panel title.glitteringandshimering.jpg
Ren, looking at the title, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Hard work pays?
God rewards hard work?
Hard work will see reward?
Worked hard in my previous life [debatable], and I still have to work hard in this life?
What the hell is a 'progress panel'
Where's my point system?
My deep blue points?
Oh, what a life.
After lamenting for a while, Ren couldn't help but get excited.
After all, it was THE SYSTEM, meaning he was already halfway across the finish line.
Well, at least far ahead of other people.
He could already imagine all the oh so great things he would go on to accomplish.
He thought of a lot of great things and exploits he would go on to achieve, all of which were more exciting than the other, and that should have led to blood boiling and a faster heart rate, but there was none, which led to a kind of discordant feeling.
His brain was imagining all kinds of invincible exploits he would go on to accomplish, but his body was like.....na bro,....chill.
The contrast was so clear that it brought his mind back from the ninth heaven he had already imagined to.
When he came back from his daydream, he took notice of his situation.
He had been thinking for a very long while, but it was like the time outside had not even moved an inch.
He observed for a while before coming up with a speculation.
A thought evolves a world?
That is, in just a thought of his, it was like a world was born and went from its infancy to its death.
Wow, that's so dope.
What caused this?
He observed and thought for a while,
It does not look as if something external is affecting me... Hmm... my thoughts should be flowing seriously fast; all other things come as slow, or as if time has stopped.
Then he focused on Talent from the panel.
--------------------------------------------
Talent: Amazing comprehension.
---------------------------------------------
It was just that plain.
This should be what caused it.
But if it really is, then the name is so understated
Hmmm.....Is this what being a genius is like?
While others just read and work hard to comprehend it, A genius has already taken that and turned it into a world, simulating and referencing all the knowledge he has ever come across to achieve unparalleled understanding and also evolve from the known into the unknown.
Oh, what A Genius.
Wait!
Am I a genius now?
I think I am....yeah.....I remember my thinking going from...old ancient computer....to some high-end interstellar era shit.
Oh, f**k!
I am a f**king genius!!
Mom, Dad, I AM A F**KING GENIUS NOW....HAHAHA....Ha-ha-haiz
Well, he fell into a brief melancholy, I guess.
He was not in control of his body right now, and his thoughts were too fast for his body to react.
Otherwise, a tear drop or two might have dropped out of his eye.
Oh, what sorrow.
After coming out of that, he began reminiscing.
I guess I would have to stop the 'thought evolve a world' if I want everything to continue as normal.
Although he thought so, he did not immediately do that. After all, although it looked like he took the fact that he left his home and came to this unknown place in stride, he was still affected by the experience.
In order not to allow himself to fall into depression, he just started thinking randomly.
If a thought were a world, then at this moment, this world was a hodgepodge of different elements spliced together, looking like some kind of Frankenstein.
.....
A long time passed. Well,.... at least he thought so.
How long exactly?
ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
Well... you definitely won't be able to guess correctly.
A long time passed before he gathered himself together and stopped. Then,
Ba_da_Boom!!!
It came....
Oh, it came so fast, it was overwhelming!
What came was a flood of different emotions and sensations.
The first of them being fear.
Yeah, an oh so overwhelming amount of Fear.
It permeated throughout his entire body, looking like a lonely boat caught in a storm.
He had yet to even register it finish when another plethora of emotions came flooding in.
This one was a mix of all kinds, it felt as if his blood was boiling at one moment due to excitement, then the next moment it was depression, boredom, confusion e.t.c.
It was all over the place, that he instinctively activated 'A thought, A world' in order to process all this info.
The f**k was that?
He felt that if his body could react right now, he would be taking some deep ass breath right this moment.
After calming down and thinking, and processing all what came with his Amazing comprehension, he figured it out.
Turns out, the fear that the original owner felt, was not just psychological; there was something out there affecting everyone.
And the plethora of other sensations and emotions that came afterwards, that was his body reacting to his thoughts. But because his thoughts were too fast, the above happened.
And because he spent a very long time in 'A world', the sensations were overwhelming.
If not because of colliding with an external force, which was 'Fear', and keeping each other at bay, his body might have been overwhelmed, and he could have hopped on a train back to the underworld.
=_=
Well,... because of 'A thought, A world', the chill that was supposed run through his spine didn't come....haiz.....
That means I can't spend too much time immersed in my thoughts, or I might just be done for.
Well, I guess I'll have to brace myself for what's to come.
Thinking so, he began to prepare himself by taking in some deep breaths....well at least psychologically.
crack~~
The world resumed.
Ren felt like he was just a lonely small boat in the middle of a world-destroying storm.
He felt like he was going to capsize in the next moment, but he did not.
He kept activating and cancelling his talent, trying to achieve a state where he could process all incoming information without feeling like the world had stopped.
It took a while, but he was able to achieve it.
Unfortunately, he wasn't on time.
His name had already been called, and he had been in a daze for quite a few moments.
Naturally, the Taoist in black won't care to wait for him to come out of it.
The Taoist pen was already on his name, striking it through.
Death!!!
Ren felt it immediately. An unknown force acted on him.
And he felt his whole-being being annihilated in the next moment.
Is this really going to be a speed through?
Was his last thought before he felt the whole world go dark.
Oh, What a life.
