Chapter 61: ReAwakening Completed (2)

Chapter 58

Reawakening was something that had only ever appeared in myths and fairy tales. It was the kind of phenomenon people spoke about in stories, something that ordinary warriors could only dream of experiencing.

It wasn’t supposed to be real.

At least, that was what he had always believed.

Orion had dreamed of reawakening himself countless times. He had imagined awakening once more and finally getting rid of the trash-grade talent that had held him back for so long.

It was a dream he had carried within himself ever since he realized how much his talent grade limited his path.

No matter how hard he trained, no matter how many skills he acquired or how much effort he put into becoming stronger, there had always been a wall standing before him.

A wall created by his talent grade, his G grade thrash talent.

It was one of the reasons the path of ascension had always seemed so distant to him, no matter how much he struggled to move forward.

He could work harder than others.

He could fight harder than others.

He could endure hardships that would cause others to give up.

But none of that could change the fact that his talent grade was considered trash.

And in a world where talent and level determined so much, that single limitation had made his dream of ascending to the highest heights seem almost impossible to reach.

Yet now...

The very thing he had only dared to dream about had apparently become reality.

He had reawakened.

The thought was so unbelievable that Orion almost wondered whether he was still dreaming.

Could this really be happening?

Was this actually real?

To confirm that he wasn’t simply hallucinating, Orion decided to issue another command.

He ignored the numerous system messages that had piled up before him and went straight to what he wanted to see most.

"Status," he said calmly.

His voice was steady, but deep inside, he was anything but calm.

He needed to know whether his talent grade had truly changed.

He needed to see it with his own eyes.

Ding!

...

Orion’s jaw nearly hit the ground in pure astonishment.

"What the hell is that?!"

He stared at his status screen as though looking at it for long enough would somehow make the hallucination disappear.

But nothing changed.

The numbers remained exactly where they were.

He even rubbed his eyes, convinced that he might have been seeing things, only to open them again and find the same ridiculous status staring back at him.

The stats hadn’t changed.

They remained there, almost as though they were deliberately taunting him.

What the hell was going on?!

Before Orion’s mind could fully comprehend the sheer insanity of what he was seeing, he was already struggling to make sense of the numbers displayed before him.

He was a freaking Level One!

For crying out loud, how could he possibly have stats in the forties?

Even his mental stats were all at fifty!

His physical stats were already absurd, but his mental stats were even more ridiculous.

And then there was his Will.

Orion’s gaze slowly returned to the final line on the screen.

WILL: Infinite Will (Locked).

He stared at those words for several seconds.

His Will had always been his highest stat ever since he awakened. Even back when his other attributes were nothing special, his Will had stood out.

But the last time he remembered checking it, his Will stat was only supposed to be around fifty.

Now, the system was telling him that he possessed Infinite Will?

What the hell did that even mean?

Was it talking about a genuinely infinite Will?

An actual, true Infinite Will?

That made absolutely no sense whatsoever!

How could a Level One possess something like that?

And why was it locked?

Orion’s mind was already struggling to process the ridiculous stats displayed before him, and now the system had thrown something even more unbelievable at him.

He didn’t know whether to laugh or scream.

Before he could stumble any further into the depths of his confusion, another system notification suddenly appeared.

Ding!

[Due to the Host’s exceptionally high Will, an innate ability has been triggered.]

[You have acquired the special ability: Telekinesis.]

[Calculating the multiplier to be applied to the Host’s initial force when Telekinesis is activated...]

[Calculating...]

[Calculating...]

[Error...]

[Error...]

[Error...]

[Unable to access the Host’s Will level.]

[A random multiplier will be selected.]

[Selecting...]

[Selection Completed.]

Ding!

[When Telekinesis is activated, the Host may exert five times his base force.]

[Under certain circumstances, where the Host’s Will is found to be higher than calculated, the applied force will increase by multiple folds.]

...

Orion sat in silence as he tried to comprehend what he had just read.

He had acquired an innate ability.

Telekinesis.

Was that even possible?

He stared at the message, his mind struggling to accept yet another absurd development.

First, his system had changed.

Then, he had apparently reawakened.

His stats had become ridiculously high despite being only Level One, and now the system was telling him that he possessed Infinite Will and had acquired a special ability because of it.

What was happening to him?

How was any of this possible?

Even as he continued denying the possibility of everything happening around him, Orion could feel something stirring within his body.

Something hidden.

Something powerful.

It was as though an unknown force that had been sleeping deep within him had suddenly begun to awaken.

He could feel it.

A strange sensation spread through his body, accompanied by an inexplicable impulse to test the ability for himself.

He wanted to confirm everything.

He wanted to prove that he wasn’t simply dreaming and that all of this was actually happening.

Orion took a deep breath.

Then he activated Telekinesis.

The moment he did so, something incredible happened.

The other three beds in the large white room, excluding the one he was sitting on, suddenly began to rise into the air.

Their legs lifted off the floor.

The beds floated upward, suspended in midair by an invisible force.

Orion stared at them.

He hadn’t even needed to do anything particularly strenuous.

He had merely activated his ability and lifted a finger, yet all three beds had risen as though they weighed absolutely nothing.

And the best part?

He couldn’t feel the slightest burden.

There was no strain in his muscles, no exhaustion spreading through his body, and no feeling of pressure that would suggest he was exerting himself to lift three entire beds.

It felt easier than lifting the softest piece of foam!

Orion’s eyes widened.

If the system’s explanation was correct, then the force he could exert through Telekinesis was five times his base physical force.

With his Strength stat sitting at forty, that meant he could potentially exert a force equivalent to two hundred units of his base strength through his telekinetic ability.

And that was only the initial multiplier!

The system had explicitly stated that under certain circumstances, if his Will exceeded what it had calculated, the applied force could increase by multiple folds.

In other words, the five-times multiplier might not even represent the true limit of his ability.

His Infinite Will could potentially push it far beyond that.

The thought alone was enough to make Orion’s mind spin.

This was insane.

Absolutely insane!

His talent grade was still displayed as question marks, his Will was marked as Infinite Will, and now he possessed an ability that allowed him to manipulate objects without physically touching them.

And he was only Level One!

What kind of ridiculous situation had he awakened into?

Orion stared at the three floating beds, unable to suppress the excitement building within him.

He wanted to test more.

He wanted to see just how far he could push this ability.

He wanted to understand what his new system was capable of and what exactly had happened to him inside Dungeon X.

But before he could explore any of those possibilities...

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"

A scream suddenly tore through the air, startling Orion so badly that his concentration immediately broke.

The three beds dropped.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

They crashed back onto the floor, the loud impacts reverberating throughout the large white room.

Orion abruptly turned toward the door...

Standing there was a nurse.

Or rather, the nurse had collapsed onto her butt, her face deathly pale as she stared at Orion and the beds that had just fallen from the air.

Her eyes were wide with disbelief.

Her entire body trembled, and her breathing came out in short, shaky bursts as she struggled to process what she had just witnessed.

For a moment, she seemed incapable of speaking.

Then, with her gaze still fixed on Orion, she finally managed to force a few words out of her mouth.

"W... what... the hell?"
