The Idle System (A LitRPG series Book 7): Family, Pegaz [learn to read books txt] 📗

What would happen to them if I really disappeared? I kept telling myself and my family to always keep trying until the very end because who knows what could happen, but I didn’t!

I need to steel my resolve to do anything to survive once more. Becoming a Rank 9 immortal made me relax too much, this can’t happen again!

So what if I’m a transcendent? It won’t matter if I get killed, leaving my family on their own! I still need to get stronger! Only then will they become untouchable.

After he removed his vision from his wedding ring and stopped berating himself, he started walking towards the castle again. While walking there this time, he thought about the Life Power, Toxin Power, and now Chaos Power.

I need to figure out how Chaos Power works in the system.

He stopped his mind parts from filtering the Scan and wanted to use them to cultivate again.

I can open the Storage Space again! What stopped me before? Was it the system?

Without an answer to his question, he switched the mind parts. One part was used to keep the Storage Space open, two parts used the absorbing technique, one part used the merging technique, one part for the Scan, one part for filtering images in the Scan, and the last one was free.

Unfortunately, the Scan didn’t work when he tried to use it.

The Scan uses Life Power, but I don’t have it anymore. If it uses a Chaos unit instead of Life Power from now on, then it might not be worth using. Since the battlefield, I’ve felt that it had too short of a range, too.

He waited for a minute, but the Chaos Power counter still didn’t go up.

Can I gather Chaos Power from the Life Stones? Do these cultivation techniques even work now?

He stopped walking, sat down, and used the three mind parts that were doing something else to help with cultivating. He was now using four mind parts for absorbing and three parts for merging.

A minute later, the counter in the system changed.

Chaos Pool: 2

I can still use Life Stones to gain Chaos Power, but the conversion rate is too low! A single unit of Chaos Power is one hundred million Life Power units!

I also don’t know how much the maximum amount is. If it’s seventy trillion in total like it was with the Toxin Power, then what I had gathered so far would only convert to 700,000 Chaos Power.

It would take me centuries or even millenniums to fill the counter up with Chaos Power!

John was about to switch his mind parts back to the original setup, but now that his Scan didn’t work, he didn’t switch the two mind parts back and used them for cultivating instead.

He now had three parts for absorbing, two parts for merging, one part for the Storage Space, and the last one was kept free.

Opening the system, he turned the Scan option off.

After closing the system, he walked towards the castle again.

The large front door of the castle was open like it was inviting him inside, so he walked past the door while looking at the scenery in front of him.

He had entered a courtyard. There were large armchairs neatly arranged around a round table. There were also small tables next to the armchairs. Behind the armchairs were tall poles the same colour as the floor and walls, with a ball of light hovering on top of them.

John looked to his right to see the same setup in the corners, but he heard someone talking on his left which caused him to look in that direction. His mind jolted when he recognised the voice.

Before his head had turned to his left, his heart started pounding hard enough for him to hear it while his pulse’s speed climbed.

When he found the person who just talked, his eyes didn’t move as he kept staring, his mouth wide open, showing his bared teeth. His knuckles cracked and turned white as he clenched his fists before he used all the strength in his legs to dash forward as fast as possible.

Bringing his fist up, he had perfect timing as he threw the punch.

His fist passed by the man who had his back towards him and hit the person on the other side.

Bang!

The person flew out of his seat that was in the corner of the courtyard and hit the wall behind him. The wall collapsed as it couldn’t stop the man’s momentum and the man continued flying backwards.

John followed him and when he caught up, he lifted his hand up and pushed Chaos Power into his palms.

He could only use two units of Chaos Power so he was only expecting a small ball around the same size he used when he shot his bullets made out of Life Power.

What appeared in front of him, though, was a dark-purple ball that was about three feet in diameter.

Ignoring the size difference, he shot the ball of Chaos Power towards the person’s head.

It made no noise and John could just about see what happened after he shot it. It travelled at the speed of light and anything it touched simply disintegrated like it wasn’t there to begin with.

The man’s head and chest were gone, but so were the walls, floor, and objects inside the castle behind him. The person’s arms were no longer connected to the body and they dropped onto the floor.

John saw a small purple ball that survived the attack sink into the remaining parts of the corpse, but he ignored it and took a deep breath, trying to calm down.

The Resistance’s Emotional skill didn’t stop me from getting angry. Is it because I’ve transcended and it can’t affect me anymore, or is it because the system is still updating?

This ended a little too easily, though. I might’ve caught him by surprise, but as a Transcendent, he shouldn’t die this quickly. Am I missing something or did I just get lucky?

“Hello, John.”

A voice came from behind him while he was still thinking,
