Getting A System In A Modern World - Chapter 156

Chapter 156: It Begins
Silas would be lying if he said he wasn’t surprised. Though he had been told by the system that his body was in a very peculiar situation, he thought it was something that could be solved easily, as he didn’t feel the situation to be serious.

“It said the weak Parachronic gene with life properties is unable to keep with the constant, rapid death and rebirth of my cells. Would the situation change if I’m able to make the Parachronic gene stronger?” Silas thought to himself.

The fact that he was dying was surprising and somewhat depressing, but Silas was able to recover his mood quickly.

From what he read, the situation wasn’t urgent as he still has over 200 years more to live, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to be laid back and relaxed about it. Also, 200 years is a very long time for him to find a solution to his problem.

He understood what the Parachronic gene is, as it’s almost self-explanatory. It’s the gene that carries his superpower and the gene with life properties is the one of the superpower, Regeneration.

Silas’ thought of his dwindling lifespan reminded him of the Evolution Capsule blueprint that he was given by the system as reward. He felt that this was the reason why it gave him the blueprint.

“It said that I’m at the limit of my evolutionary potential. What will happen if I break that limit? Would another limit be created or what?” He asked himself curiously.

It can be said that Silas hasn’t actually paid much attention to his body even after he got the system. The only occasions he pays attention to it is after he has added stat points to his body and this occasion were always brief.

Of course, Silas knew that even if he paid extremely close attention to his body, there was no way he would know that something is wrong with his body, as it is healthier than what an ordinarily healthy body would look like.

Silas’ situation is almost the same as someone who’s suffering from success.

Silas didn’t waste a time as gedecided to take action immediately

“Luna, I want you to expedite the research on the Evolution Capsule. I want to see results on it as soon as possible.”

Luna was surprised when she heard Silas’ instructions. She felt that something was up and this was confirmed by the urgency in his voice.

She wasn’t aware of what Silas was currently doing.

Due to the fact that she’s currently interviewing the people that are to be hired as bank staffs and also running the simulation, along with other things at the same time, Luna decided to minimize the percentage of computing power she was using and this was the reason why she was unaware of what Silas was doing.

Immediately, she looked through the video feed gotten from the Gear’s dot-like camera. She immediately filtered through the videos and she got what she was looking for.

{… Master, is this real?} She couldn’t help but ask, after watching the video of when Silas read the result on his hair strand analysis.

“Yes, Luna. It’s real. This is the reason why I want you to expedite the research on the Evolution Capsule,” Silas replied.

{Are you sure that the Evolution Capsule can solve the problem? The result says that your cells are too lively and they are going through constant death and rebirth. The first we have to do is to know the reason for the cells’ liveliness. Why are they too lively?!} Luna asked with a very concerned voice. Actually, someone very keen and close to her would be able to sense the fear in her voice.

Silas sensed it and he couldn’t help but smile. Of course he knew that reason for the cells’ liveliness, it’s due to his max out stats.

He remembered vividly the incident that happened on the island. His impulsive decision to add more stat points to his stats, but who had known that it would almost be the death of him.

Actually, he would had died that day if it wasn’t for the system. Till today, Silas still doesn’t understand how the system did it.

How did it take the vitality of the tree he was resting his back on and used it to save him? How was it able to take it in the first place?

The only way Silas knew for that to be possible is through the famous and infamous devouring ability. Silas suddenly had a wild thought.

‘Is it possible that it was due to my superpower?’

Of course, there was only one way to confirm anything, which is by directly asking the system, but Silas has this feeling that he won’t get the answer to it.

Silas’ thought drifted back to the current situation. How does he start explaining everything to Luna? Should he also tell her everything about the system?

Silas thought of it and decided that he would do but not now. He would do so when she gets back.

“Luna, just expedite the research. I will explain everything to you when you get back.”

Luna knew that Silas won’t be giving her answers until after she gets back, and she decided to let it be.

She immediately passed the order to the scientist in the simulation lab world and she turned her attention back to what she was done, while still also paying to what Silas was doing, using the Gear’s dot camera.

After he was done with what he had planned to do before coming to the warehouse, Silas decided to go to the hotel.

*****

VIP ward: 2, Gilbert Hospital.

A young man with cast all over his body could be seen could be seen lying on an hospital bed, looking out the window listlessly.

The dead look on his face changed to anger the next moment, the to sadness, bitter and he went through a flurry of emotion in just a few seconds.

“How did I get into such a situation? I’m nearly crippled and can lie down here and recover at a snail pace. Even if I do recover completely, what do I have to go back to? The company is already going through financial trouble and coupled with the cooperate crimes allegations that are being slammed on it, its fall is just a matter of time,” He said in a downtrodden voice.

“My father, that fuckface, that monster, that idiot, that… that man called my father is under arrest and his trial will be held very soon. Knowing the type of bastard he is and how bad things are, there’s no way he would be found innocent. He’s definitely going to be charged and that would be the end of him.” His voice was slowly rising due to the his hightened emotion, anger.

He was feeling angry at the predicament he found himself in.

“Then what about me? What about my life? My future? Nobody cares! My fucking useless slut of a mother doesn’t care! The bastard I have as a father cares even less! Then how do I live?” It took him all the willpower he had not to scream in anger at this point.

All he wanted to do was break anything and everything he sets his eyes on. He wanted to express the anger, he wants to express the rage he was feeling but he couldn’t. He was technically a cripple at this point as he can’t move from the bed.

As he thought of his predicament, intense rage blazed in his eyes. He couldn’t accept it. He felt. No, he knew he doesn’t deserve to be in such a predicament. He blamed one bastard for everything that happened to him, Silas.

“It’s all because of that bastard. That loser called Silas. I will kill him the next time I see him. I don’t know how he did what he did what he did but I vow to kill. I will make sure I peel his skin, bit by but, later by layers. I will break his bone into fine dust. I will make sure to put him through unimaginable suffering that would make him beg for mercy, and I will enjoy every single moment of it. I relish his pain,” Daniel said through gritted teeth, and clenched fist.

Due to how hard his fist was clenched, his fingers were already digging into his skin and was about to draw blood.

“Why throw tantrums like a kid when you can actually have your revenge?” The voice of a man resounded in the ward, shocking Daniel.

Due to him being too emotional, Daniel didn’t know when someone walked into the room.

He quickly turned his head to look at the owner of the voice and he saw a middle-aged man, who looks to be of Europe descent. He didn’t understand why the man was in his room but he was more curious on what the man said.

“How do you think I can achieve my goal and get my revenge? I have nothing.” He said with a wry smile.

“You don’t have to worry about muddane things. I can give you something better.”

“And what would that be?” Daniel asked curiously.

“Superpower!”
