Chapter 23 - Appraisal Changes!

Sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Nathan and Natalie silently watch the tv.

Natalie has already stopped crying, but her eyes are still red.

Looking at his sister on the side, Nathan spoke,

"Are you calm now?"

Waiting for an answer, but he did not hear any response.

Natalie is obviously sulking because of what happened, ignoring him.

Nathan can only sigh helplessly.

He got up from his seat and walked towards the door.

When he stood up, Natalie looked at him immediately with worried eyes.

As if knowing what she's thinking, Nathan paused, and said,

"I'll just be going to the park to breathe some fresh air."

Then left without looking back.

Alone in the house, Natalie curled up and hugged her knees.

Staying like that for a bit of time, she got up and headed to her room.

A minute later she sat back on the sofa with a book in her hand.

It's the book she 'borrowed' from the abandoned bookstore last time.

Illuminati!

She touched the cover of the book, feeling the rough leather used to make it.

"If what brother told me is real… then does that mean this is not just a fictitious book?"

Muttering to herself, she opened the book and read the content again.

"The Illuminati is a group of lunatics that doesn't care about anything but destruction…"

"Every one of the members has unknown supernatural powers. Some have the power to destroy planets with one punch, some have powers to predict the future, some...

"For countless centuries they spread fear to every world in the universe just by hearing their name…

"Once you hear of Illuminati, run, run as far away as possible, escape your world that will certainly face destruction in their hands…

"Younger… generations, I hope that you will be wary… of Illuminati… and someday… avenge us…"

Natalie's delicate voice echoed inside the house. Her frown present throughout the whole process of reading.

She has already read this book a few times, but she still can't understand it very clearly.

There are only 10 pages in it, but it already has a lot of information in it that she can't process.

It was originally a thick book, but it looks like a lot of chapters were torn off by someone before she got it.

Containing information that she can't make sense of, the book only

The only information that she got from this book is that there is an evil organization out there in the universe that likes to hide in the shadows of different planets with low civilization and ruin their world behind the scenes!

That organization is called... Illuminati!

"If this is real then… it is a very scary thing…"

Natalie can't help but shudder at the thought of Earth's destruction when she reads it.

The book seems to have been written by someone to spread information regarding the Illuminati organization.

But for some reason, the book was never made known to anyone.

It was left rotting in a dilapidated bookstore, never to be seen again.

That is until Natalie found it of course!

Remembering the passage about the members having the capability to blow a planet with punch, Natalie feels like her whole understanding of the world is about to collapse.

Hurriedly closing her eyes and regulating her breathing, Natalie recovered some of her calm.

Looking at the book in her hand closely, she subconsciously tightened her hold.

"This book… might be something precious… I should avoid showing it to anyone else."

Thinking of that, Natalie took a box from under her bed and made a small compartment to place the book.

After covering it with a layer of wood, the book was hidden from sight.

If you don't look at it carefully, you will surely fail to find the book.

Then she pushed the box to the darkest corner under her bed.

"Done!"

She dusted her hands and went back to the kitchen.

Looking at the food left on the dining table, Natalie finally felt hunger attack her.

"I should go and eat first, then I'll talk to my brother after he comes back."

…

Nathan sat on the swing, staring in the sky dazely.

Sigh~

Nathan kicked a stone on the ground as he sighed.

"Was it too much to cut myself in front of her?"

Just as he asked himself, Nathan already realized the answer.

"Yeah, it was too much. I shouldn't have done that."

He shook his head in lament.

"But I can't think of any other way to prove to her that the universe has a lot more things in it than what the people in this world knows!"

Getting rid of these thoughts, Nathan decided to stop thinking about it.

There are more things that he should be focusing on.

A few questions he's been thinking of since this morning appeared in his head.

"Why was I so hungry earlier?"

Rubbing his stomach subconsciously, Nathan remembers the pain that hunger brought him.

"I don't want to feel that ever again. I almost thought that I'd die of hunger!"

Thinking about it now, Nathan ponders for what reason that happened.

He is certain that it was not normal to be that hungry.

Also, he doesn't even know how the amount of food that he took fit inside him!

"I did nothing out of norm yesterday besides that…" he muttered.

After thinking for some time, Nathan can only conclude that it was because of him using the awakener from last night.

Remembering about that, Nathan hurriedly used appraisal on himself and saw something that made him frown.

[Name: Nathaniel Fernandez

Power Level: 2

Soul Talent: Omnipotent Villager

Skills: Appraisal

Details: 19 Years Old, Male, Human, Orphan, Awakened]

He immediately noticed the difference from the previous appraisal.

On the details part of the appraisal, there is an additional 'Awakened' written, proving that he has successfully awakened his soul talent.

But that is not where Nathan's focus is on,

"Huh? Isn't my talent 'Omnipotent Farmer'? Why did it become 'villager' now?"

An unexpected thing happened to his soul talent.
