Chapter 2 Disappearance And Investigation

-Flashback-

During that month, I learned that my group of friends, or the original owner's group of friends, had all committed suicide. They stabbed themselves or hit their heads against a wall.

When a group of private investigators arrived at my door, I was skeptical at first. But I was horrified when I heard their story.

According to them, the incident was related to me because I was the only one who survived the group.

They looked into my previous activities, and I willingly cooperated with them. Even then, there is no result, and I am not a fool to reveal that I am a transmigrator.

I will never reveal my secret to anyone, and I will carry it with me to my grave.

They took me to their headquarters for investigation during the encounter with the investigator.

I discovered a lot of strange things around them, for example, they are leaking a faint violet mist, which vanished when I tried to sense it.

The Investigators' eyes were wide with surprise as they looked at me.

Gregory Smith, the man in charge of them, carefully examined me, and when he sensed my awkwardness, he simply smiled and said.

"I apologize for my behavior, but you have a gift with Degu."

I was perplexed as to what the fuck he was implying, so I simply raised an eyebrow and looked at him, signaling him to proceed.

"No questions?" "Good. Hmmm... how to put it."

He assumed what appeared to be a contemplative posture.

My mouth can't help but twitch.

'This bastard is quite pretentious,' I thought, keeping my face neutral.

"You see, this world is not as simple as it appears on the surface; few people are born with special abilities; some can read minds, while others are powerful enough to defeat an army."

It was my turn to be surprised; I assumed that this world was only marginally different from mine.

I had no idea there was superpowers in this world.

"So I guess those mists that came from your bodies are Degu?" I asked calmly. "And from the looks of it, this Degu is some type of energy that is needed to activate those special abilities? and apparently, I have the potential to have one?"

After hearing what I said, their expressions were all shocked.

In my head, I can't stop myself from getting excited. I would have already burst out laughing if they weren't in here.

It was literally my dream to have a special ability, and they told me I could possess one.

'It appears that I will have to change my plans,' I thought, trying not to smile.

"You're sharp," he said.

Gregory turned to his companions and said, "Explain it to him."

The young man with white hair and a slit in his eyes nodded.

'This guy reminds me of Ichimaru Gin from Bleach,' I thought to myself.

"Yes, Degu is energy; it was the fuel required to use special abilities. It is an energy that produces power that is unique to individuals; the type of power depends on the person's personality, subconscious desire, and it can even be random, but most commonly, we are born with it."

He walked to the center and asked his captain for permission; Gregory simply nodded, implying that he is free to do whatever he wants.

The young man then raised his hand, and a violet light began to form in his body before vanishing.

He literally vanished in front of my eyes, and I felt someone patting my shoulders.

I looked at it, but there was nothing there.

"Invisibility?" I muttered.

He appeared again looking at me with a smile but not a smile.

"Yes, but more specifically, my body just blends in with the surroundings, by the way my name is Kidd" he explained as he walked back to the side.

"So your ability is to refract light so that it is invisible to the naked eye?" I asked.

"Huh?" he asked, perplexed.

I was speechless because I realized that science in this world is still in its infancy. Even if there is someone here who has studied physics, the information will only be known to a few people.

"Nevermind" I continued.

*Cough* *cough*

Gregory then invited me to join his team, which turned out to be investigators from this city called "The Ranger's Eye." They are tasked with managing things related to a strange event like mine and investigating whether it was caused by people abusing their abilities. There appear to be a lot of them.

"Well, give me a week to think about it; after all, this isn't a simple matter," I said.

He nodded as if he understood. This is a life-changing issue. If I decide to join, it may bring my family into danger. But he reassured me that once I joined, all information about my membership would be properly managed, alleviating my concerns.

Even if someone looked into it, they would not be able to link it to my family.

It was all a ruse for me to think about it for a week. I decided to participate because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Also, because I was already involved in this, I have no choice but to be one of them in order to learn the truth about the incident in which all of my or this body's friends committed suicide.

Gregory informed me that my incident is linked to a well-known Degu criminal. and apparently, once that guy discovers that someone has survived.

He will undoubtedly pursue the aforementioned individual, which is why I was already considering learning Degu and utilizing all of the resources available to me through the Ranger's Eye Organization in order to become stronger and protect myself.

As for my family, I am willing to protect them if possible. But it hasn't gotten to the point where I'm willing to give up my life.

After all, they are not my true family; they are only the family of this body.

...

I'm training in a Degu-rich area, and yes, I've already joined the Ranger's Eye. I was in a meditative state, trying to sense the energy. I felt my pores open and sucked the Degu into the environment. I feel a surge of violent energy coursing through my blood vessels, nourishing my cells in the process.

*Ding*

In my head, there was a ringing sound.

'HAHAHAHAHAHA, This is not what I think it is right?

'I laughed, a grin spreading across my face.
