Chapter 28 Mana Awakening

After the orc was defeated by Keith's sniper team, a surge of mana was released from the dimensional gate, causing Keith and Sherry to fly backward!

With their experience in fighting, Keith and Sherry didn't fall on the ground and managed to backflip and land on the ground.

Afterward, Keith felt a foreign energy enter his body as it violently ravaged him!

With his high pain tolerance, Keith didn't shed a tear from the pain that was comparable to his body being thrown on a meat shredder. He only gritted his teeth before he managed to recover from the pain.

As those masochists would say, "No pain, no gain."

And since Keith suffered from pain, he didn't gain nothing.

'Is this what it feels like to awaken my mana and skills? I felt like my body sublimated and reached a higher realm of existence!'

Using his Eyes of Heaven, Keith managed to see the mana that was circulating inside his body. From the looks of it, his mana was being generated from his heart and like oxygen, it was circulated throughout his body via the blood.

'I should check my skills later. For now, I have to deal with the aftermath of the dimensional gate incident.'

'As for those who died due to the goblins, since they didn't contribute to society, I don't need to waste my money to compensate their family. Who told them to take a selfie with those goblins? A bunch of dumbasses.'

'But since they were good baits and their deaths were still worthwhile and entertaining to watch, I'll make an exception and allow them to have free funerals. The Corpse Party Group should be able to handle the rest as long as I command them to deal with it.'

When Keith thought about that, he suddenly noticed that the dimensional gate changed its color. From its previous blue color, it became green.

"Did the spirit of the dimensional gate wear a green hat?"

Witnessing that, Keith couldn't help but jest.

Hearing Keith's joke, Sherry rolled her eyes and replied, "Jokes aside, the dimensional gate should be inaccessible for the other side. It might be possible for us to send our forces to the otherworld."

Noticing that Sherry became serious, Keith no longer joked and focus on the main topic, "Don't worry, the military forces have already surrounded the perimeter. As long as I give them a signal, the general must meet with me to discuss securing the dimensional gate."

Since Keith had told his girlfriend about his true identity, Sherry wasn't surprised about Keith's background which was the greatest to the point that even the general of a country needed to meet him.

Of course, the main reason was that Sherry had already known about Keith's true identity due to her memories of the previous timeline. Even Keith didn't know that his girlfriend was a regressor since he only guessed that his girlfriend possessed knowledge of the future.

Their surroundings were still littered with thousands of corpses from the goblins and a single corpse of the orc. Keith and Sherry were stained with the blood and scent of blood from the goblins and since they liked to keep themselves clean, they felt uneasy.

"On second thought, the meeting with General Harold can wait. Let us take a bath first and change our clothes. As for the goblin and orc corpses, I'll ask the army to deal with it."

Hearing Keith's suggestion, Sherry didn't disagree.

Holding each other's hand, Keith and Sherry left the scene with blood on their clothes.

The sound of water falling and splashing was heard inside the shower room as Keith took a shower.

Using the power of money, he had purchased the entire five-star hotel for Sherry and himself just to take a bath. It was the five-star hotel that was nearest to the dimensional gate.

While Keith was taking a shower, he decided to use the status screen feature of his system. Since he was alone in the shower, he didn't have to worry about showing any clues of him possessing a system.

Although, if he wanted to, he could take a bath and shower with Sherry. Even if the two of them hadn't slept with each other yet, they had already seen each other's naked bodies. But since Keith was busy with the dimensional gate incident, he couldn't sleep with Sherry yet.

Summoning his system status screen, a blue-colored system screen appeared in front of Keith.

[System Creator: Keith McDowell]

[Systems Created: Training System]

[Number of systems that can be created: 0]

[System Slot: 1]

[System Skills: None]

[Innate Skills: Ultimate Instinct(ZZZ), Eyes of Heaven(OOO), First Order(U), Mana Manipulation (SSS)]

'So that's why I have an almost accurate instinct when it came to almost anything. Whether it was detecting danger or sensing a business opportunity, my instinct has yet to be proven wrong.'

'So that skill of mine is Ultimate Instinct? I don't know how high the ZZZ skill grade is but it should be high.'

When Keith thought about his Ultimate Instinct skill, he decided to ask the system about the skill grades.

'System, can you show me the skill grades? Also, include the power levels of this multiverse.'
