Chapter 353: Aspirations
( Leo’s POV )
The person who was the most shocked by the operator’s announcement was none other than Leo as while Cervantez had already forewarned Luke about this development, Leo had been in complete darkness about this future up till this moment.
‘The game-skills will carry over to real life? How does that even work? I literally have a cheat skill that can copy any other skill…. Will it get carried over too?’ Leo wondered, as he could feel the butterflies flying inside his stomach.
While at this moment Leo did not understand the full facts about the changes that were to come, unfortunately, ‘Mimic’ was not going to be a skill that he was going to be able to carry into reality as although the operator had implied that players would be able to use their in-game skills in real life, the fact of the matter was that not all skills were going to be usable.
Of his four skills, ‘Mimic’ was the only skill that was assigned to him by the system and not a skill that he had learnt from scratch and hence it was going to become the only skill that he was going to be unable to perform.
Once the ship’s atmosphere became rich with mana, the fundamental change would be that humans would gain access to this mana, effectively transforming the real-world environment into one akin to Terra Nova Online. However, the prerequisite for performing any skill in reality was that the individual attempting the move needed to have the knowledge and understanding of how to execute it from scratch.
Any skill that was system given or learnt via a skill-scroll was going to immediately become useless, as while usable within the game, without having the proper knowledge of how to draw in mana into one’s body and how to circulate it along a specific mana channel within one’s body, actually performing the move in reality was going to prove to be impossible.
Cervantez, having this future knowledge in advance due to his reincarnation, already forewarned Luke about not learning skills via a skill-scroll way in advance, as he understood that while learning skills from scratch was difficult, it was going to pay off big time in the long run.
Thankfully for Leo, all the skills that he learnt from Ben on Mount Faulkner were all learnt from scratch as he knew the actual theory behind those moves, enabling him to carry forward those into reality.[ Mirror World ] [ Vanish ] and [ The Kill Strike ] were all skills that he would soon find himself capable of performing on the Arc Ship, turning him into ‘TheBoss’ in reality.

“Whoa! Did you hear that Leo? Our physiques are going to transform in reality over the coming weeks. That means I’m going to gain immense bicep and abdominal muscles and look like she-hulk” Amanda said, flexing her currently non-existent bicep with a genuine smile on her face.
“Yeah me too…. My body within the game is on another level compared to this one, so if it slowly transforms into my game-like body, I’ll look pretty damn handsome myself–” Leo said, as Amanda leaned in for a kiss and pecked his cheek.
*Smooch*
“You already look pretty damn handsome as is” Amanda said, as she made it clear that she was already heads over heels for Leo, even at his current looks.
“But this thing about the rainbow stream and Earth being a non-mana planet….. don’t you find it hilarious?
I mean, up till now we lived on a small planet dreaming about gaining superpowers, when all that we had to do to actually gain them was to travel across half the galaxy and enter a stupid river of mana” Amanda said, as her words made Leo chuckle.
“Yeah it’s pretty crazy…. I don’t know what sort of impact this will have on one’s life expectancy, or how easily our bodies will accept this new mana rich atmosphere, but I’m hopeful about the future.
Lately it feels like many fun things are waiting to happen” Leo said, as he expressed how content he felt with life lately and how despite being inside a metal tube he felt like he was living his best life ever.
“Well well….. Our life is surely about to get a lot better.
The second evaluation begins in under 6 hours and we are on the verge of being promoted from this shitty apartment in sector D to a new and improved one in sector C.
And guess what? Apartments in sector C actually have some semblance of privacy within them.
So we don’t disturb Luke with our loud noises when we make out” Amanda said, giggling excitedly as she seemed genuinely happy about the future.
“Yep, surely our best days are still ahead of us–” Leo acknowledged as he pulled Amanda into an intimate hug.

( Meanwhile, Cervantez )
While the rest of the Arc Ship celebrated the impending entry of the Arc Ship into the ‘Rainbow Stream’, Cervantez was the only one who felt apprehensive about it.
Having already been through this once before. He already knew that entering into the ‘Rainbow Stream’ and gaining powers was not going to be a peaceful and happy event.
Instead, it was going to mark the start of the most tumultuous period of their journey to planet Terra Nova, as the next two years within this ship were going to see the most major events taking place.
“This time though, me and my guild will be ready—” Cervantez muttered, as he resolved to do things differently this time around than how he did them in his past life.
