By the fifth life, he had beco dexterous and clever, with his precision in handling all sorts of matters greatly increased. He could operate any machinery just by looking at it.
He could create incredibly realistic illusions; the human forms he conjured could show clear pores, and the scenes he manifested could be detailed down to every blade of grass and every tree.
He could edit, cut, and categorize his own mories to cope with his one hundred percent hyperthysia. He could completely alter his facial features and body to beco another person, including skin, muscles, and organs.
When he imitated soone, he could easily master all the skills that person possessed by reading their muscle mory, or read their brain to obtain mories. This process didn't require consuming too much ti.
He began to be able to create so interesting things with special effects. For example, shoes that could tie their own laces, slingshots that could fire air bullets, phones that could hypnotize people, white hoods with the character for "sin" written on the front that could enhance physical fitness...
On his 18th birthday, he ard himself to the teeth.
Literally ard to the teeth.
He even made himself a mouthguard that increased biting force.
He hid in the deserted square of his residential complex at midnight, far from all possible disasters. Even if an earthquake occurred, he was confident he could survive.
He originally thought he could finally survive this ti.
But he still died. This ti, his death was utterly unreasonable.
He was struck dead by lightning.
The sky, which had never rained in the previous four lives, beca overcast with dark clouds within minutes. Under the cover of night, Samuel completely failed to notice.
And then it struck him dead.
It chased him, striking for half an hour, until it had destroyed all his life-saving items.
He even began to suspect if he had triggered so cultivation chanism and was undergoing a heavenly tribulation to ascend, almost shouting "my fate is mine to control, not heaven's."
Clearly, he never ate lotus root cakes, nor did he wear blue with red. He couldn't understand why he had to be treated as the demon pill.
Stopping his reminiscence, Samuel nodded.
Indeed, if it really was the sum and enhancent of the abilities from those two lives, then such performance wasn't entirely incomprehensible.
"So that's how it is..."
Looking at the reply on the Travel Guide, he reached out, raised a finger, and drew two circles on the Travel Guide, circling the words "obtained" and "condensed" in the sentence: 【The Law Rhy you condensed after obtaining six Law Marks is 'Absurdity Clown'.】
"In that case, what's the difference between these?" he asked curiously.
"Of course there's a difference," new black text appeared on the Travel Guide. "[Law Marks] are things that have always existed; they are one of the laws of this world. Using these terms is just for easier understanding. Like 'Actor,' it could also be translated as 'Perforr,' 'Action Interpreter,' 'Action Imitator in Situations,' etc."
"The process of obtaining [Law Marks] is 'acquiring,' 'seeking.' In this world's specialized terminology, the act of attempting to obtain [Law Marks] is called 【Seeking the Law】."
"But [Law Rhys] are different."
"[Law Rhys] themselves do not exist, or rather, naturally occurring complete Law Rhys do not exist. They require later processing, need the user to comprehend them personally."
"It could be because obtaining certain fixed Law Marks triggers a reaction, fusing them into a Law Rhy, like your 'Absurdity Clown.' Or it could be due to so special experience, a firm belief, or a certain manifestation of the soul's essence."
"This process is called [Contemplating the Law] in this world."
"Precisely because of this, the extraordinary ability possessors in this world, in the stage of only having Law Marks and rely touching the twelve basic Laws, are called [Law Seekers]. After comprehending a Law Rhy and extending their own Law from the basic Laws, they are called [Law Contemplators]."
Hooray, it's the newbie guide.
Has my newbie tutorial finally loaded after all this ti? I'm so moved.
It really took a long, roundabout way.
Really, really...
"Twelve basic Laws?" Samuel inquired curiously.
"Yes, the twelve basic Laws," the Travel Guide replied.
"Pure Law, Constraint Law, Absurdity Law, Silence Law, Elysium Law, Solipsism Law, Upstream Law, Ultimate Wisdom Law, Fallacy Law, Calamity Law, Nature Law, Decadence Law."
"These are the twelve fundantal Laws at the world's foundation. Above these are the Laws unique to the Law Contemplators themselves."
"Like that Ethen Avalon, his Law tendency is Nature, aning his Law is an extension in so direction based on it. Although I don't know what his actual Law is, it's probably sothing like 'Heaven Law' or similar."
"Of course, nas like that can be chosen by the Law Contemplators themselves."
"I see... Ah, I rember my Law tendency is Absurdity," Samuel found his own position among them.
"Hmm... Wait, that's not right," thinking it over, Samuel suddenly discovered the key issue. "You said you are an extension of my thoughts and abilities, so shouldn't you only know what I know?"
"I don't know any of this stuff. Where did you get such detailed information?"
The Travel Guide remained silent for several seconds, seemingly thinking about how to describe how it obtained this information.
Finally, it offered this explanation:
"I hacked into the official library."
"Just like a computer hacker can hack into other computers, I am a book. Hacking into other books is quite reasonable, right?"
Oh, a low-key hacker.
"Wow, you know, that actually makes so sense."
Thinking about it, Samuel felt that if he tried, he could probably do sothing similar. That would explain why "an extension of his own abilities could do it."
Seeing that Samuel understood, the text on the Travel Guide gradually faded and disappeared, turning back into a blank sheet of paper.
Contemplating the information he had just obtained, Samuel's fingers rubbed the paper, feeling its completely new texture.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. Samuel flipped the book back to the final archive section and found that, as expected, Ethen's archive below had also been updated.
【Law Marks: Gardener, Forest Ranger, ...】
【Law Rhys: Druid, ...】
"Ellipsis? Is it still parsing?" Samuel asked aloud.
This ti, the Travel Guide did not flip to a blank page but appeared next to the archive like an annotation.
"Because you know too little information," the Travel Guide replied. "Trash, trash."
It seed to want to call back all the "trash" Samuel had called it before.
So vindictive.
"I see..."
"Then, after complete parsing, can I obtain these Law Marks and Law Rhys?" Samuel thought of his ability. With his ability, it wasn't completely impossible to copy these. At least a few hours ago, he had copied so energy from this world's ability system from Ethen through imitation.
Since it was an extension of his own ability, it should be able to do it too.
"You can right now. Do you want them?" The Travel Guide's reply exceeded Samuel's expectations.
