《Deity's Fragments [Paused]》Chaper 7 - Understanding the Skill
Advertisement
"Hey buddy, are you okay?" a voice was heard next to Zack. It was Thomas, one of Zack's roommates.
Zack looked at him and saw a few faces looking at him strangely. Looking around could see that there were two more roommates besides the previous three.
"Did I do something weird?" He waited for Thomas' answer, as he didn't want to hear them say 'You were talking in your sleep', it would be embarrassing, and also they would know of a past that he didn't want to remember about, but for some reason, it came back to his mind in the form of a dream.
Thomas spoke amicably, seeing that nothing was happening with Zack and replied, "You screamed suddenly, making everyone wake up scared, but we saw you crying and thought you had some nightmare."
Getting out of bed, Zack walks to the bathroom. Opening the door, he looks back and replies, "It's nothing, don't worry."
Thomas could only sigh and sit with the others as they talked about Zack's personality. They had barely seen him, but he gave them the impression that he was a man of few words and not very sociable.
It was 7:30 A.M. A group of classmates walked along as they chatted and introduced themselves to another classmate.
"I'm Thomas, and these here beside me are Susy, Dylan, Pedro and Deisy." Among these people, the most sociable was Thomas, while others did not try to get along very well with Zack.
"I'm Zack. Nice to meet you," He had to maintain a stable relationship in the group since he would be working with them from now on.
They went to the Assembly class, but the content he received was theoretical. Thomas explained that, although he was late, the classes were only a few weeks old and only in a few days would the practical classes begin.

The class passed slowly, and it seemed like an eternity. When the bell rang, he went out as if he was being rushed. The class was quite bored. He wanted action, adventure, not these mechanics classes. He could have said he had his thunder ability, but they would soon discover his abnormal compatibility, and he would attract too much attention.
Today he was in simple clothes, a white T-shirt, black jeans and sandals. The school did not focus on the way students dressed. They would only establish a uniform when it came to a competition to represent the school or during a raid.
His peculiar way of dressing made many people look at him strangely. Many made fun, and others thought he was crazy, while others thought he was just a sluggish person.
Truth be told, he used to dress fashionably, but he gradually adopted an obsession with common clothes. From Bermuda shorts, loose pants, and he rarely wore shoes or tennis shoes.
Looking at his tablet, he followed the direction it pointed him towards the library. He wanted to know more about the hunting dimension where he was.
When he arrived, there were few people, so he felt comfortable with no one to disturb him. He searched the shelves and found the book [The Dimensions and their races].
He started to read the book, but what it contained were already things he knew. It was the basics to know.
The hunting dimensions were divided into 5, where the school was located was the first dimension. You would have to become stronger to withstand the other dimension's pressure and energy, so the cycle continued.
He closed the book and took it to the shelf. Looking for something of interest, he decided to pick up some computer books since his main skill made him look like a software himself.
He picked up a book called [Quantum Computing], and as he picked it up, a voice was heard.

[A book of information compatible with his ability has been detected].
[Understanding ... 1% ... 15% ... 53% ... 78% ... 100%]
The information began to enter his brain, and within seconds he had comprehended the book. He could tell that his ability had activated in the time interval he tried to comprehend the book.
He could only deduce that his ability allowed him to analyze an object and have its information, as he had not heard anyone who, upon touching a book with information from his ability, understood it immediately.
To confirm this, he searched the section and tapped [Nano Robotics], but the notification did not appear. Thinking of what to do, he decided to activate his ability in the book by himself.
Energy began to cover the book, and it transformed into information consisting of "0's and 1's". The information passed through his forehead, and he was able to comprehend the information.
The book did not disappear, as after he got what he wanted, it returned to normal. He had consumed only 2 energy points for this action. As it was little, he learned different books such as [Mechanics], [Artificial Intelligence], [Robotics], [Production], among others.
Suddenly an idea popped into his head. He focused all his ability on his eyes, but he could not see anything different in doing so. What he did know was that his energy was pouring out like crazy.
He thought that his power would work differently depending on where or how he used it and decided to use it on his eyes because he thought they would not get stronger but would do something else. Zack thought he failed his analysis, but as he looked around, he could notice a person walking, but it looked in slow motion. Also, he could notice how the energy was moving through his body, his core, his form, etc.
Suddenly he felt a severe headache, and losing the strength of his body, it collapsed.
...
Opening his eyes slowly, he could see the place where he was. He was in a white room, lying on a stretcher.
Looking around, he almost jumped off the gurney from shock. A blonde woman wearing a white robe and glasses was sitting next to him, looking at him.
Clutching his heart and almost getting off the gurney, he said, "Do you want to kill me?"
With a smile, the woman just stood up, walked over to a desk and picked up a document which she began to fill out, but suddenly stopped and looked back at Zack, saying, "Are you going to spend the whole day here? I know I look like a goddess in your eyes, but you need to leave since you woke up."
Irritated looking at the doctor who was still staring at him, he could only think, 'Who is this crazy narcissist? Is this how she treats her patients?'
Getting off the bed, he checked his body, and everything was in order, so he decided to leave the clinic. Walking, he started to think about why he fainted, but something clicked in her mind when he remembered that he had lasted almost a minute with the ability active.
'Looks like I'll only be able to use it when I'm in grave danger or when I increase my energy. Oh, I also need to improve my strength. Still, my plan will have to be put into action later when I learn more about this school' Seeing the capabilities of his ability, he had made some plans which are they worked would give him strength without having to go hunting, but he would have to test them out first.
Lost in his thoughts, he felt hungry and decided that he should get something to eat...

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
