Chapter 657 Weird Hobbies
Fein sat alone in his room, his gaze fixated on the twelve lottery tickets laid out in front of him. He had been saving up for a year, hoping to strike it lucky and obtain a good mythical ability. He carefully counted his remaining coins and smiled to himself, realizing he had just enough to exchange all of his tickets for a chance at the grand prize.
With a confident grin, he made his way to the lottery function of his system; the excitement bubbling inside him. The system greeted him with a cheerful chime and the screen displayed the options for purchasing lottery tickets. Fein quickly selected the option to exchange his twelve tickets for a premium ticket, feeling a rush of adrenaline as he hit the confirm button.
The screen flickered for a moment and the lottery wheel started to spin before displaying a message indicating that he had obtained a mythical ability: Astral Projection. Fein's eyes widened in amazement as he read the description of the ability, feeling a rush of excitement and anticipation. He couldn't wait to try it out and explore the possibilities that came with it.
With a sense of accomplishment, he closed the system and leaned back in his chair, his mind racing with ideas and plans. He knew that this new ability would take him one step closer to achieving his goals, and he couldn't wait to see where it would take him.
As he sat there, lost in thought, his body relaxed and his eyes closed. He felt a strange sensation wash over him, as if he was being pulled away from his physical body. His consciousness began to separate from his physical form, and he felt a sense of freedom and weightlessness.
Fein's eyes snapped open, and he realized that he was floating above his body, looking down at himself from a new perspective. He grinned with delight, marveling at the power of his new ability. He knew that with Astral Projection, he could explore new places, gain new insights, and uncover hidden secrets without much risk. Its a good scouting and exploration ability and minimized danger to a center extent.
He grinned in excitement, feeling the power of his new ability coursing through his veins. With Astral Projection, he could travel anywhere in the world in an instant, bypassing physical barriers and exploring the realms beyond the physical plane.
But as he began to experiment with his new ability, Fein also discovered its drawbacks. While he was able to travel freely and observe his surroundings without being detected, he was unable to interact with anything in the physical world. He could not touch or manipulate objects, nor could he speak to others unless they possessed the same ability.
Fein thought of different situations where he could use his new ability. For instance, he could use it to spy on his enemies without them knowing, or travel to a faraway location without having to deal with the dangers of physical travel. He could also use it to communicate with other beings who were capable of Astral Projection, allowing for a completely private conversation without fear of eavesdropping.
However, Fein also realized that there were limitations to his ability. If he projected his consciousness too far away from his physical body, he risked getting lost or even permanently disconnected from his body. Additionally, if he encountered a being that was immune to astral projection, he would be completely defenseless.
Despite these drawbacks, Fein was determined to master his new ability and make the most of it. With Astral Projection, he knew that he had a powerful tool at his disposal, one that could potentially change the course of his battles and provide him with a significant advantage over his enemies.
...
Just like that, Fein realized that his Astral Projection was a little different from he expected. He could actually speak and interfere with the physical world! Albeit in a limited manner. He could touch things and lift a weight up to three kilograms and he could speak just fine. He could also show his astral appearance to others if he wants to. Instead of just being completely invisible.
When Fein asked the system about this, the system explained that it was a mythical ability. If the mythical ability is just a normal astral projection, then it doesn't deserve its grade. This explanation convince Fein as he found it reasonable.
...
Fein floated out of his body and into the air, his astral form shimmering with energy. He giggled with excitement, ready to explore the world in a way he never had before. He floated up to the ceiling, then through it, and out into the cool night air.
The city was a blur of lights below him, and he couldn't resist the urge to fly down and investigate. He drifted from street to street, peeking in windows and listening in on conversations.
As he floated past his neighbor's window, he heard a muffled moan and a rhythmic thumping sound. Fein raised an eyebrow in curiosity and drifted closer. He saw his neighbor, a balding middle-aged man, sitting in front of a magazine with a look of intense concentration on his face.
Fein chuckled to himself, recognizing the sounds of his neighbor's shameful hobby. He floated closer to the window and projected his voice inside. "Hey, Jerry," he said, his voice echoing in the man's headphones. "It seems you're enjoying yourself? Don't worry, it's completely normal to do that as a guy."
Jerry jumped in surprise, tearing off his headphones and looking around wildly. Fein laughed and floated away, his astral form shaking with laughter.
As he continued down the street, he heard a loud argument coming from a nearby apartment. He floated closer and looked inside to see a young couple screaming at each other, their faces twisted in anger. Fein winced at the sound of their raised voices, but couldn't resist the urge to intervene.
He projected his voice into the room, his words carrying a calming, soothing energy. "Hey, guys," he said softly. "Why don't we all take a deep breath and try to talk this out?"
The couple stopped shouting and turned to face him, their expressions softening. Fein smiled and floated away, feeling proud of himself for diffusing the situation.
As he drifted back towards his own home, he heard the sound of his mother's laughter.
