Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 175: Silas, Daniel

Few more days passed and Silas started to feel massive changes taking place in his body.

He felt like he was being reborn anew. He didn't know what was happening but he knew that if that most likely related to the gene enhancement he's going through—or whatever it's called now.

Time passed and Silas felt the changes even more. Though he was unconscious and didn't know what was happening in his surroundings, he felt like he could now sense his surroundings without even trying.

This was different from the regular perception he got after he maxed out his stats. No, it's more like it's the same thing but instead of just normal perception, he can do in more refined way.

He can sense his surroundings using the matter manipulation superpower and included with his extremely high perception, it felt like everything was in his view.

At this moment, he didn't know exactly how strong this sensing or perception ability of his is but he intends find out soon.

Silas subconsciously used his newly improved perception ability to sense his s surroundings and all he could see was liquid around him.

He was confused at first but his confusion cleared immediately as he remembered that he was still inside the Evolution Capsule.

It was just his perception that improved greatly, his strength also saw the same massive improvement.

Silas felt explosive raw strength flowing this body. He felt like he could crack the Earth into two but he very well knew that it was all an illusion.

He also felt his body become lighter and lighter with each passing second, and it felt he would become as light as a swallow, and take off into the sky.

When the gene enhancement started, it wasn't exactly all roses for Silas, as he didn't feel any changes in his body, what he felt was unimaginable pain.

He felt a type of pain that would make one wish for death to take them away and give them relief, and the location he felt the worse was in his head.

This was coupled with the massive flood of memories that flooded his mind, mostly painful memories.

Silas didn't understand how he could feel so much emotional pain from memories he didn't know where they originated.

He tried to look into his memories but the amount of pain he was feeling didn't allow him the opportunity to focus, making the memories to become very hazy and vague afterwards but the emotions it came with still remains.

The pain he felt from the memories was just as intense as the one he was feeling all over his body.

The pain continued after he escaped from the dark vacuum and it continued for a very long time, until it finally subsides and was replaced with the feeling of explosive changes in his body.

The feeling of explosive changes Silas felt in his body kept increasing and he knew that it was almost time for the gene enhancement to be completed.

Meanwhile, in the real world.

A lot of changes were also taking place, mostly in two locations, the warehouse and the organization lab facility at Ross Ice Self.

In the warehouse, Luna noticed that the volume level of the fluid in the Evolution Capsule was dropping rapidly and she immediately got worried.

"What changes is master going through for him to be absorbing the nutrients fluid so quickly," Luna asked, as she looked at the progress screen on the Capsule.

90%

She looked at the glass section of the Capsule and saw the volume of the fluid has dropped again, and was now less than half of what was previously inside.

The nutrients fluid was something that Luna came up with to help Silas with his gene enhancement process. She came up with the idea after Silas told her about what happened on the island, she didn't want a repeat of the incident.

The problem right now is that the fluid was meant to be an emergency sort of alternative nourishment for the gene enhancement process, but it seems like she would have to think of something and quickly.

Luna pushed her algorithm to the limits but nothing came up. She considered creating more of the fluid but it's to be noted that there was previously a small tank that served as reservoir for the fluid and that tank is empty.

She thought of doing what the system did with the three but she has no idea how it did it. Should she get a tree and and extract all the nutrients in it, and channel them into the Capsule?

She thought of that but it wasn't that she couldn't do it but before she could complete, it would had already been too late as the fluid level is dropping extremely fast.

Luna calmly took a look at the screen displaying his vital signs and she sighed in relief when she saw that it was normal.

She took a look at the progress screen and saw how speedy the progress was.

92%...95%...99%

It wasn't the process progress that was fast, the rate at which the fluid level in the capsule was reducing was just as fast.

It has dropped by more than 80% of its previous volume and was now at a dangerously low level, and was still reducing.

Luna sighed as her eyes moved simultaneously between the fluid level in the capsule and the progress screen that was now stuck at 99%.

Suddenly she saw that the fluid dried up completely and the she felt like that air around her was sucked out.

She noticed that the air was rushing towards the Evolution Capsule and was starting to swirl around it, creating a miniature tornado.

The next moment, the swirling air dispersed forcefully, causing a massive gust of wind to blow in the warehouse.

The massive gust of wind that was more able to live a human off their feet, had effects on Luna, as she stood where she was and continues to look after Silas.

Luna watched as the Evolution Capsule slowly opened and Silas lost his balance, and was about to fall.

She quickly rushed towards him and caught before he fell to the ground.

"I told you, master. You can't die yet."

Ross Ice Self, Antarctica.

Daniel was sitting in a room, in front of a group of old men, who were looking at him like he was unknown animal that was just brought to the zoo.

He wasn't bothered by their presence as all he was interested was the most marvelous that just happened to him, he finally got a superpower as he has always wanted.

A very satisfied smile bloomed on his face when he thought of his new superpower.

After he woke up, he went through a series of compulsory tests and after it was confirmed that his body was in perfect condition, he was allowed to leave the lab.

Daniel curiously looked at his hand and flexed his fingers a little, and a small tongue of flame bloomed on his palm.

He smiled brightly when he saw this. He felt that it was finally time to take his place in the real world and not the mundane one that 99% of the world's population was living in. He meant the world of Phenomenals or should he call it just like how Jeremiah calls? Marvels!

"Just you wait, Silas. I'm coming for you."

A sinister smile spread on his face as he thought of the future.
