Chapter 2: The Book of Ten Thousand Laws
Back home, Levi lay down on his shabby bed and snorted comfortably.
With his hand outstretched, he pressed open the radio on the bedside table, and the sound of the poor-sounding radio came out.
“…… The city's General Garrison Department opened a trial yesterday on the cult case investigated and dealt with on Tie Cross Avenue in the upper district. Seventeen black mages were sentenced to death for immediate execution, and at the same time, nine vampires were sentenced to death......"
The news didn't get much attention from Levi, and in fact, there was a lot of such things.
At the beginning, when he was just reborn into this world, he would still feel very inexplicable when he heard this kind of news, but now, he has long been surprised.
This is a world with monsters, and Levi has even seen a beast rat man who he had only seen in movies in his previous life, and was beaten to death in the street.
But so what? After the freshness at the beginning passed, he still had to worry about his current life.
Whether it is the former Levi or the current Levi, they all have an identity - hunter.
This hunter was originally called for those who hunt monsters in the wilderness outside of megacities, obtain flesh cores, and various materials in order to go further on the path of evolution.
A powerful demon hunter who continues to move forward on the path of evolution, and even has the power to call the wind and rain and conquer the mountains and seas. Without such strength, how can you hunt those powerful monsters?
As for Levi, he's just a bounty hunter, the crappiest kind.
Before he was reborn, at the age of twelve, the body was denied admission by the Psychic Academy as having 'no potential to develop'. Even if he finally became a hunter with his own efforts, he had no chance with that dazzling extraordinary power for the rest of his life, and could only hover at the bottom.
That's why the tavernkeeper, Irene, convinces him not to trade it for a genetic potion. People who have no potential at all, even if they are injected with genetic fluid, are just wasting it, and things will not get any better.
However, after he was reborn, things were very different.
All of this stems from an unknown ability, or treasure, that awakened with him when he was reborn.
The Book of Ten Thousand Laws.
However, there is one more thing he has to do before he can activate the Book of Ten Thousand Laws.
After resting enough, Levi turned over and sat down at the workbench in the corner of the room, and took out an unused syringe and the D-class gene solution he had obtained from Erin.
A needle is inserted into the arm, slowly pushing the gene fluid into the body.
The heat flows from the blood vessels through the entire body, which is not very comfortable, but it is not so painful either.
He didn't have time to feel the effect of the gene fluid, so he concentrated his mind and connected with the Book of Ten Thousand Laws.
In front of him, a phantasm of a code of law appeared. As his spirit condensed, the phantom became clearer and clearer, and finally turned into a substance.
It was an old-looking codex, with the cover as if it were some kind of leather work in black, with some rust faintly visible on the brass edges. There are strange patterns on the cover, which is actually some kind of bizarre text, which makes people feel very mysterious when they look at it.
The pages of the book were flipped to the first page of the Writing Wheel Eye and the second page of the Transfiguration Technique, and the third page was still blank.
Afterwards, Levi could clearly feel that every piece of flesh and blood, every cell, and even the hair and nails in his body became weak in an instant.
This is the feeling of being infused with the life force into the Book of Ten Thousand Laws.
Levi wasn't flustered, he had already experienced this feeling twice. And, to be honest, this time the process of unsealing the pages and acquiring new abilities was much easier than the first time.
Injecting life into the Book of Ten Thousand Laws allows you to unseal the pages and obtain the special abilities sealed in it. This ability usually comes from Levi's mind, from his memory, from various movies, games, anime, and even novels.
He still remembers the first time he had the experience of unsealing the pages of a book.
Of course, that time he gained the powerful ability of Sharingan, but in the same way, he almost played himself to death.
He still remembered that at that time, his body was almost plundered in all directions, and the feeling of becoming weak in an instant made him, who had just been reborn, experience the feeling of being on the verge of death again.
Power is not something that can be created in a vacuum. To obtain such a power as the Sharingan, it is natural that you need to pay a corresponding price.
This once made him dare not use the Book of Ten Thousand Laws for a long time, and he was finally reborn, so he was unwilling to die again.
But soon, he made a new discovery. This new discovery made it much easier for him to unseal the pages of the book in the future.
That's the effect of genetic agents.
Gene fluid is what is necessary for the evolution of this world to move forward step by step. It can greatly develop the potential of the human body, supplement and strengthen the essence of life.
Li Wei discovered that while injecting the gene solution, using the pages of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws to unseal it, he could use the life-enhancing effect brought by the gene solution to replace his own vitality and become the source of power of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws.
The existence of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws directly broke the biggest obstacle that stood in front of Levi. And the existence of the gene fluid broke the barrier for Levi to use the Book of Ten Thousand Laws.
With the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, and with all the magical abilities in the memories of the previous life, the judgment of 'no potential' mentioned by the Super Energy Academy is a fart!
The appearance of the writing wheel eye has already given him the capital to climb up from the bottom!
Unseal the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, develop supernatural powers, hunt monsters, complete commissions to earn money, get more resources, and then further develop the Book of Ten Thousand Laws...... This becomes a virtuous circle.
This is of great significance. Without the power of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, let alone the future prospects, even a big trouble in front of him, Levi didn't know how to solve it.
He will soon have a 'guest' coming to the door, and if he doesn't improve his strength, I'm afraid that the guest won't let him live long.
While thoughts were drifting, the blank third page of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws had gradually emerged from the words. At the same time, the feeling of weakness that the strength of the whole body has been withdrawn has gradually come to an end.
After a few moments, the process of unsealing the pages was complete.
After the pages of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws are unsealed, there are usually several options at random for Levi to choose from. Sometimes the options are better, for example, when he unsealed the pages of the book for the first time, he had a fairly powerful ability such as Writing Wheel Eye. And sometimes it's very ordinary, for example, the second time, there were three very average abilities, and finally he chose the disguise technique.
And this time there is only one option, which means that he has no choice.
However, the ability seems to be not bad, it is the kind of direct attack method that Levi wants, and it is relatively powerful.
"Slashing Steel...... Well, not bad. ”
From a skill of a certain game character, Levi vaguely remembers that character's lines are quite secondary.
If I'm not mistaken, it's like, 'Let's face the wind!' ’?
He clenched his fists, and his body felt fine. There is a D-class genetic medicine as the base, and this time the pages of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws have not caused serious damage to his body. Although there was some weakness, it only took a quarter of an hour's rest to be able to return to normal.
Sitting back on the bed, he picked up a short knife from the bedside.
The dagger was removed from the old holster, and Levi began to wipe it down. He was cultivating his spirit in this way, which was a habit in his previous life.
By the way, wait for the arrival of the guests.
Things that have been delayed for a month have to be resolved.
I don't know how long it took, but when Levi was a little impatient with his short knife, there was a knock on his door.
"Levi, Levi, are you not at home? It's time to pay your rent! ”
