《It's cause I'm a genius》Chapter 8

"I remember you telling us this story before, but we thought it was just a joke. You were actually serious?!!!!" - Jimmy
"Yeah. In fact let me tell you that when I feel like lying, I've read enough psychology books and know enough about human manipulation that no one would ever suspect me. The only times you guys brushed something I said as a joke or suspected it was a lie were the times I was saying the truth without adjusting any part of it. " Kei took a breath. " I can't blame you though I know my life is so abnormal that it feels like I'm living in an anime. "
" Anyway, I passed by college before coming here and I noticed something. In one if the buildings there is a ward that makes people subconsciously steer clear of a certain section of the building. I decided to check it out and it seems that the hidden area leads underground and extends on for a long distance. That's worth investigating. So can you guys come? I'm not sure how long it will take so you need to notify your families that you might be absent for a few days."- kei
" I can't do that. My grades have been going down and I need to catch up not ditch even more classes"- Jimmy.
"Cmon man, we're finally going on an adventure. Stop being a scaredy cat. Who gives a crap about your marks when you've got super powers. They aren't much right now but Kei told us that eventually we'll be able to destroy planets." - Yato
" I'm not sure I can come but I will try."- Jimmy. The friends continued to chat for a while and went home afterwards.
The appointed day for the exploration came. During that time kei has been training a bit and finally managed to transform his energy into a non volatile form. In short he was able to crystallize the energy outside of his body. In the future if he ever runs out of energy he could absorb the crystals to replenish his energy.

Right now crystallizing all of his power allows him to make a crystal that's one sixth the size of a finger. Another useful application was that while fully recovered absorbing the crystal increases his body's maximum capacity by even more than the amount he gets if he uses up all of his energy and gets it refilled.
Using this method his I energy has been increasing by about 50% each day. Each one of the group got a backpack with basic necessaties, and met close to the close gate. " So as usual Jimmy didn't come" - Andy " worse is we're not even sure he will come. He's the type of guy that keeps you waiting till the last second only to tell you he won't come." - yato
Kei was looking at the finger sized energy crystal in his hand. He had spent the whole week to make it this large. When Jimmy finally appeared kei pocketed the crystal. They finished greeting each other and went into the college.
Eventually they arrived a large old looking building. They proceeded to the section without people. After a a bit of searching around they found a hidden entrance by lifting one of the floor tiles. Following it they reached an underground area that was full of statues.
Leaning down and acing his hand on the floor Kei sent a spark to scan the ground. "found it". A particular golden statue that looked like a meditating man only with six hands, and a blue marble on his forehead.
Kei went forward and pressed the marble causing the statue to move and reveal a staircase beneath it. "How did you know you should press the blue marble?" - Andy
"There were other options?!!!" - kei. While going down the stair well they found a torch. Although they already had flashlights they decided to get it anyway. At the bottom of the stairs there was a gate that had 4 flower marks on it. They attempted pushing it, but It wouldn't budge.

"Don't tell me we're going back. We're just 5 minutes into our first adventure."- yato. "what should we do then? We even tried hulk smashing." - Andy
"Maybe if I water the plants...." sparks started to go off of Kei's body. I energy spread through the air and quickly compressed the water vapor into droplets that directly went to the 4 flowers on the gate. The flowers greedily absorbed them and the door opened revealing a circular chamber.
At the end of the room a treasure chest was placed on a pedestal but a statue of a dragons head was covering it as if it was its guardian.
The moment the stepped into the room a formation lit up, and their I energy surged and increased at a rapid pace. " everyone transfer your energy to me as fast as you could." kei shouted and took out his crystal and started pumping energy into it.
Kei's friends were puzzled, but put their hands on his back and transferred their energy to him. Kei then started to explain to them about his energy storing crystals. After that he proceeded to explain about the formation.
Their bodies could increase their maximum capacity by only 20% at a time. While Kei could increase by 50%,but even then it would be a waste as the formation would stop the moment they can't absorb any more energy. That's why if they never become full and keep expending their energy they would be using the formation to its fullest.
After a whole day of energy flow the formation dimmed. They all collapsed to the ground after that looking extremely tired. While their energy wasn't that lacking the concentration for so long made them want to faint.
"So, how is your progress? I'm currently at 20%,when I fully recover I would reach the limit of my body. I won't be able to accumulate any more I energy no matter how much I train. " - Kei. He turned to the three and the they indicated that they have the same situation except for the fact that their body limit was much lower than his.

Outlook: The Stars (Consciousness Unbound Book 1)
The year is 2152. Rune Yahui is a nineteen-year-old failure, not having gained entrance to college or the military, with no significant prospects in life. Even worse, Rune is the poorest of the poor, hailing from the mega-slums of New Southern Chicago, the lowest pit of America. In a desperate last-ditch attempt to gain a future more lustrous than toiling the rest of his days away in abhorrent conditions in one of the near sweat-shop level factories that dot the megapolis, Rune signs up for the Virtual Citizen program, a program to cull the excessive world population by transferring just their brains into a video game. In a stroke of rare luck, Rune is admitted into the program and happily submits himself to the surgery and digitization process. Unfortunately for him, he wakes up several hundred years later than he expected... or does he? **Author's Note** This isn't a type of story typical to RRL. You may have noticed LitRPG in the tags, but it's a relatively minor element in the story until later. You may also notice Slice of Life is in the tags. This story is going to be slow and there won't be any power tripping until way later if at all. The focus will be on character development. That doesn't mean I won't still have action/excitement, however. I encourage you to give the story a try. Maybe it will be your thing, maybe it won't. Thanks for even taking the time to read this, and if you do give my fiction a try, I hope you enjoy it. If you don't, well, I hope you find something that you do enjoy. Happy reading!
