Using your lifeforce you can change the present to your whims. The more significant the change, the more vitality is taken. Can only be used once a day.

Warning: Body under abnormal condition. Low amounts 'Fearko' detected within blood stream.

Shit.
This wasn't supposed to happen.
' Calm down.', I calm my beating heart and think.
If my assumptions where correct this situation wasn't that bad. Our body has a mind of it's own, consider this, you fall down and scrape your knee, the wound heals over time. This healing was done by our body instinctively. This phenomenon should be applied in this scenario as well. My body should reject the 'Fearko', in my body and expel it outside my body in form of sweat or urine.
So everything will be fine, probably.
I could only feel a single death wisp on my neck, so the amount of fearko wouldn't be that prominent. I'm pretty sure that my body, which had already awakened to mana could successfully fight against the little amount of fearko that was present in my body.
The color of the status green changes to red whenever there was danger to the user's life. But it couldn't measure the exact level of the danger.
Right now, all I could do was wait for my body to do it's job.
For the first time, since I had come out of the portal I take a clear look at myself. I was butt naked and covered in fucking mud. My body shivered due to the cold of the night. But, it was alright as I had already planned for this exact situation.
Firstly, I take the clothes that I had thrown away before entering the dungeon and walk for about 5 minutes to the north of Baryon mountain. Before long I reach a stream. I place my clothes on the ground before jumping in the stream. The water was ice cold.
I felt like Jack in titanic, left alone to die in the cold sea even though there was enough place for him and Rose on the floating debris.
Women, I tell you. They're a weird bunch.
I don't have anything against them really. It's just that all the women that I was close with in my previous life were assholes. First there was my mother, Anna Floyd. I don't really think about her that much. The only reason I was thinking about her now was due to the illusion. Seeing her once again made me feel complicated. In my last life whenever I told people that I was an orphan they would always assume that both my parents had died in some sort of unfortunate accident . People assume that a parent can never truly hurt their own children, but the fact that they forget is that parents are also humans and humans are capable of some fucked up shit. But my mother wasn't inherently evil, she was just sick in the mind.
My father and mother got married young and he died in their first year of marriage. So it was just me and dear old mum after that and she did try the best she could and that was enough for me but it wasn't enough for her. She was young and had her own dreams and ambitions and I was in the way, so she abandoned me in broad fucking daylight.
Mother of the year, huh ?
But I don't really hate her or anything, she did what she had to do because she thought that was the only way- man who am I kidding ?
I fucking hate that bitch.
After growing up, I looked for her and in fact did find her. She had new family, a daughter and all, she looked happy...
I didn't confront her then because I didn't want to destroy her new found happiness.
But seriously, the audacity of that bitch, am I right ?
I should have known by then that my luck with women was bad. But I was still a naïve idiot.
Then I met my wife.
At first, we truly were in love or at least I was, but after we got married that all went away. Two years into our marriage, we were both miserable and constantly fighting about this and that. But the both of us were too scared to ask for a divorce, untill my wife met Andrew, they fell in love with each other and she asked for the divorce, but the problem was that we didn't sign a prenup when we got married and along with the divorce she took away a lot my money as well. I tried to fight it but they won in the end. The day, the divorce got finalized, I got drunk and tried to commit suicide but got cold feet at the end but still managed to die, leading to my life here.
Thinking back on my previous life, I finally understood that this was a second chance.
'I won't get close to anymore sus women or people in general'
I'm going to live a comfortable and peaceful life and if anyone came in the middle of that then they would pay with their own lives cause I don't want to stay a fucking loser anymore.
I'm gonna be a winner in this life.
I get out of the stream while thinking this and take a towel that I had bought with we to dry myself. After putting on my clothes. I take out the rewards that I had gotten for completing the dungeon.
There were two rewards, the first one was a manual like book, that was probably a skill book. A ' skill book' literally meant a book that contained a skill. They were extremely rare and are usually sold for a lot of money. Skill books weren't the only way to get a skill but let's think about that another time.
I squat down and touch the skill book, as soon as I touch the skill book, a blue screen appears before me.
--------------------------
Skill : Mana Disruptor
Rank: A
Description: A skill that allows it's user to break the mana container of a person forcefully. Contact to the subject is required. The skill requires no mana, instead 10 minutes after the activation of the skill, the body goes through immense pain. The pain would be equal to the amount of mana that the subject has. The pain may even cause death in some cases, so caution is required when using the skill.
Would you like to learn the skill ?
[YN]
---------------------------
Why does everything in this world have to be so goddamn painful !!!???
Even though I was frustrated, I couldn't help but admire the skill. With this skill I could essentially defeat people who didn't have that much mana with a single move. Mana exhaustion in the middle of a fight, basically meant death to heroes, so within that 10 minute time gap, I could defeat my opponent and and run to a safe location for the pain to hit me. But defeating people above E rank would be difficult to handle, as the amount of mana of an A rank to SS rank was ginormous and if the pain would depend on the rank, then I would die if it was above E rank. This skill was a move that should be used if there is no other option. So, even if the side effects were horrible I still decided to learn the skill.
After pressing the yes option, the book turns to ash and enters my body through my nostrils. I feel different, yet at the same time normal. I don't check my status screen because I was too excited for the next item.
This was the item that I had wanted. The skill was just a bonus. I touch the ring and it's information appears on a screen.
------------------
The Ring of Erasure.
Rank: ???
Description : A ring that allows you to makes changes to or completely erase anyone's status screen. This item can only be used once.
Would you like to take ownership of the artifact ?
[Y/N]
-------------------
I press yes instantly and put the ring on my finger. An artifact that was priceless, literally. I don't know how the messiah used this artifact, but I was pretty sure that she used it wrong. This artifact worked on anyone regardless of their rank, so the thought that first comes into a person's mind would be to erase the status screen of a very strong individual. Erasing meant permanently destroying the part of a hero that made that individual a 'hero'. Their powers. That was certainly enticing, but there was a hidden side to this artifact.
With this artifact a person could make changes to 'any' individual's status screen. This included the user of the ring as well. The messiah overlooked this fact, but I won't.
[ would you like to make change's to X's status screen ? [Y/N]]
I click on yes and my status screen appears before me.
I erase the entire potential part. Before enacting my command, the system asks me, [ Are you sure this is your choice, [Y/N]]
I press yes again.
I start glowing and when it stops, I finally feel... free, like chains that had tied me down were just taken off.
Now I had the potential to surpass even the almighty protagonist. I just had to practice a lot.
I lie down on the grass and start laughing.
After a hearty laugh, I try to open my status screen, but before I can a message appears on another blue screen saying,
[ Blood is cleansed of the element, ' Fearko'. There still remains 0.001 percent of fearko in your blood stream. This negligible amount has merged with your blood and mana to form a new unique skill called, 'Bloodlust']
Shocked, I open my status screen. My mouth opens wide due to the various changes that had happened to my status screen.

2. Mana Disruptor [ A rank]
A skill that allows it's user to break the mana container of a person forcefully. Contact to the subject is required.
3. Bloodlust [ F rank]
Level:1, 0/1 kills
A unique skill that allows the user to let go of the fear of death and also gives the user a slight boost in strength. The only downside is that the user goes crazy upon the activation of the skill. The duration of the skill is 2 minutes.
-------------------------------
A unique skill was something that was unique to a single person. No one else in the world had the skill, ' Bloodlust' other than me. They were also upgradeable unlike skills that we learnt from a skill book. I had hit jackpot !
But I was still a little wary of my new skill, it seemed that the condition for upgrading it was killing monsters or mana beasts hopefully...
Not only had I gotten a extra skill, my rank had also increased slightly. The blood lust skill looked a little scary but it might be useful down the road. My smile gets bigger as I think about how much I profited today.
I got up after 5 minutes and started heading back to the orphanage,
~~~~
I can't believe how fast I had reached the orphanage.
Before, it took me thirty minutes to reach Baryon mountain, but I had returned in 5 minutes. I had only increased my rank by one and there was a difference of this much !
I also realized how lacking I was earlier, but it was all better now. I open the door to the orphanage. It was still dark out so it wasn't morning yet. So I had made it in time.
After I got inside the orphanage, I start heading towards the dorm room, but stop while crossing Mark's office. There were muffled noises coming from his office. I couldn't make out what was being said, but I could hear two sets of voices. So there were two people inside.
I slowly open a bit of the door and peep inside, curious.
