《The Avaricious Merchant System》Chapter 06 - Old Levi
Advertisement
Knowing the authority level of his clones on the system was paramount. The last thing Clyde wanted was to see himself being walked on and eventually betrayed by the clones.
{As you know, to access me and all my functions, you need the key which is being in possession of the Space staff, it is also the same with the lesser version of the space staff. As the main user, Clyde can choose what the possessor of a lesser space staff can access in the system…that’s all.}
“It seems I must do some a*s kissing, if I want to have full access to the system. Hehe.” Levi chuckled and said.
Clyde was in deep thought. Ultimately, he decided to buy the Lesser Space staff for Levi At the cost of 1 500 000 000 origin crystals.
Of the 4,994,188,995 origin crystals that he had only 3,494,188,995 origin crystals left.
"...and give him full access." Clyde said.
With that problem settled, it was time for the show to start.
Immediately, a change started to happen on Levi.
His black hair receded and he was rendered completely bald.
His body aged visibly as a white long beard appeared and his back hunched a little.
His eyebrows were exaggeratedly bushy and white as well.
The finishing touch, he donned a white pristine robe.
Levi coughed and as he did so his voice kept sounding older and older until it sounded like an elderly.
The now elderly Levi, then turned to Clyde as he asked "I do not have a mirror so you'll have to be the one who corrects any defects. I followed my inherited memories of the Leviathan family about shape shifting...there shouldn't be any mistakes."
Clyde still had his mouth agape. It had been that way ever since he saw the elderly in front of him.

He was shocked to say the least. He knew that he also had the ability to shapeshift as he proved it with his feat of regaining his normal appearance after the transformations he had been through.
...but...the level of detail on Levi was uncanny.
He really looked like an old man who had one foot in the grave.
Clyde regained his composure and then said, "No...this won't do. You have to be imposing even though you're old. Right now you look like a breeze could kill you."
Clyde was right.
Only Clyde, Levi and the System knew the strength hidden in that elderly appearance.
Levi thought for a moment and then activated a certain effect of his ancient Leviathan bloodline.
His eyes which appeared normal a moment ago were now completely black and released a black smoke.
From a bystander's point of view, once these eyes were seen, a certain feeling of unease as well as intense fear could be felt. It was no longer a simple elderly...but some kind of monster in disguise.

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
