ROAD THROUGH DAMNATION

Chapter 2 Status window

‘Thank God she's finally asleep.’ Drew muttered as he stared at his mother’s sleeping face. Ever since Drew laid eyes on her, he would always fall into a trance. He was still confused with all the happenings around him, but he still appreciated beauty when needed.

Drew was still surprised with this god sent opportunity in the form of reincarnation. He did not believe in religion or their affiliated blabbering. But he had no other choice than to associate this miracle with them.

‘But am confused, why would God give such an opportunity to a person like me? Are there not more souls worthy than me? Or is this some kind of sick game? I am so goddamn confused right now. I need cigars now. Or a smoking hot bitch would help cool me down. I cannot even get hard in this frigging body. Fucckkk.’ Drew screamed out loudly in his thoughts.

‘Deep breath man, just take in a deep breath. This is still an opportunity to experience life from a whole new perspective. This world can prove to be a fun one, am sure there would be many freaking hot babes and of course magic here. I did not want to believe it at first, but this world has goddamn magic. I am sure this world has magic because of one me being here in the first place and two that woman who cast a green hue on me. It sure felt great, I would not mind having such experiences again.’

Drew laid on his bed beside his mother, he was a bit worried about the possibility of his mother crushing him, but he decided to ignore it. He had better things to worry about.

First was his skin color, he was glad to be brown again. He was a bit worried when he saw his mother’s fair skin but when he looked at his and saw it all brown and shiny, he thanked God profusely.

‘I must say this skin is smoother than my earlier one. I am going to make sure to keep this glow till death do as apart.’ Drew kissed his hand as he muttered those nonsense. He had been a good advocate of the ‘Black is Beauty’ campaign in his earlier life so his skin meant the world to him.

He still did not understand why people tried changing their skin color, he knew racism was real, but he did not let it get to him. He saw it as motivation to prove people wrong.

Second was the magic in this world, as a person in a technologically advanced world he always yearned for the powers of the unknown. Drew believed with the power of magic i his missions would have been easier.

For example, the teleportation magic he always envisioned, could have helped him move goods and humans faster. He could have always used this power to dispose of death bodies and people who annoyed him especially the police and politicians. Just the thoughts of how easier his life would have been made him smirk sheepishly.

Another magic is the healing magic cast on him by that old woman. He understood the importance of healing magic in a gang battle. The torn and bloodied bodies of his comrades made him sick whenever he thought of it.

Besides, healing magic was a reliable source of income if one thought of it. To Drew these two forms of magic were the most important ones to him due to their advantages to him in his past life. But he believed his views could always change.

The last of his worries was the primitive way of life of the people in this new world. He was surprised at the low level of technology here. He did not understand why the people in this world had not developed their technology with the advantage of magic.

Drew was able to tell the low level of technology here because of the obvious sign of no electricity. There were no light bulbs, television, phone, or music player here. At this moment Drew became a little sad because he knew this life was most definitely going to be a bit hard to fit in.

‘Just the thoughts of all the telenovelas and games am going to miss makes me feel mad. How am I going to survive in a world such as this? It is going to be torture.’

While Drew laid on the bed grumpily, his mood began to change for the better when he saw a holographic panel appear in front of him. The panel just provided him with data which he needed so much now.

Basic Gravity Control.

This skill allows the user to control the force of gravity on his body and on smaller objects. This skill’s level can be increased by accumulating skill proficiency or through enlightenment.

The panel appearing in front of Drew scared him, but he decided to keep his cool here like the true gangster he was. He had noticed important data that helped him gain added knowledge about this world.

First was the Race column, it clearly stated he was human but also revealed an information that there are other intelligent life forms here.

‘At least there would be no black, white, and yellow conflicts here. Also, this life is sure going to be fun, I wonder what type of aliens are here. Do they have 3 eyes with slimy hands and 3 feet or are they tree plant life forms? Or are they just smart animals, if they are dogs or cats standing on hind legs speaking am going to massacre them. I hate smart animals, but if they just have tails or ears am going to have fun with them. Just thinking of a smoking hot babe with cat ears makes me so horny. I wish I could just erect my little man.’

‘Second is the stat section, it gives the user the numerical data on his body condition. I must say it is useful for any athlete who wants to measure his current body condition. The stats explain themselves with strength being the explosive power of the user, agility being speed and stamina being the amount of time someone can perform an act.’

‘But the mana stat is the most important because it tells the amount of mana power in one’s body. From what I know Mana is called that in the west and Qi or Chakra in the east and in the south, it’s called ‘Atua’.’

‘Now looking at my mana stat I can confidently say am super strong. I see myself having a large amount of mana in the future. So, I guess I can use my gravity control for a longer time when I grow up. I can see myself becoming one of the strongest in this world with this skill.’

 ‘Oh, and to increase skill ability I think I can do that by explaining and understanding the skill for now. Likely I know and understand the meaning and everything about gravity because it was my favorite topic in science class. It was because of my wild thoughts on how to use the gravitational force in real life.’

‘If I remember correctly is the force that attracts all things which have mass together. These things can be a single mango and the land to giant planets and stars in the universe. In short, gravity is this invisible force that controls the happenings on earth. But weight also influences the force of gravity being acted on a substance. I always thank Isaac Newton for discovering this important force of the universe.’

[DING!!! Gravity Control Skill ability has increased by 20%]

Drew was shocked when he heard that soft, seductive voice in his head. He turned to his side to see if he could find who spoke those words. But contrary to his expectation he saw no one. He decided to pay close attention to the information passed to him.

When Drew read the information, he realized his skill ability has been increased and the only explanation he could give now was his explanation of his skill.

‘So, I can level up my skills if I gain enlightenment and I guess through constant use of the skill.’

‘Finally, I guess am done assessing myself and I feel so tired I guess I have exhausted my stamina. I need to find a way to increase the stamina stat, to help me think and stay awake for longer time. I guess I should also spy on my mother to find out what kind of woman she is. She does not give me a good vibe; she reeks of blood and danger. I should always be weary of her just in case. After all these senses of mine have never failed me. I should really sleep now to gain enough stamina to spy on her for longer periods of time.’

Done with everything Drew fell asleep soundly despite the possibility of him being crashed by his mother.
