Cosmic Editor

Chapter 34  Domain

[Well the abilities of the Editor are absolute and are even more magical than magic itself]

"Lets test this out" David said obviously impatient to test it out

      However he didn't exactly know how to test it out. Looking around the room, he found absolutely nothing to use

[Why do you test it by making your shirt float] Nous suggested seeing that it's master was lost

"That... That is indeed a good idea"

      Pulling off his shirt, he immediately dropped it on the ground and pointed his palm towards it as he closed his eyes for maximum focus

"Float!" David shouted as he imagined the shirt floating

       After waiting a few more seconds, he opened one eye to see what resulted of his actions. He knew they were chunni-like but now wasn't a time to be embarrassed.

     Looking at the spot, he had dropped the shirt. He found nothing, looking up, just above his normal level of view, there it was.

"It worked?" David questioned as a smile appeared on his face.

"It worked!!" David shouted in joy as he danced around the room

   Just the fact that it worked will change a lot of things for him easily. He may not use it to increase his power unless necessary but it will surely help him to get more powerful on the long run.

"Okay, Okay let's try this" David said as he turned to himself

      His plan was simple and that was to add an attribute to himself that would help him quicken the effects of his training.

"Which effect or attribute do I add?" David asked

     This was the main problem plaguing him, like his Edits, he could add anything he wanted to himself at the moment but it was as though his mind had turned off.

"I have it, hyper growth" David said as he immediately prepared to add the effect to himself

     He readied his mind for pain since that seemed to be a steady part of using any of his abilities so far. When he felt he was sufficiently prepared, he began replicating the process he had used to add the 'float' effect to the shirt.

[Domain Effect recognized, ability {Effort Multiplier} has been added to individual {David Nnaji}] He heard Nous day out loud as he immediately opened his eyes

     He didn't feel any different compared to before. He couldn't exactly say that the effect had been successfully added to his body since there was no real proof for it.

"Did it work?" David asked

    Since he couldn't confirm it on his own, he planned to have his A.I confirm it.

[That... I cannot confirm however if you plan to cg ck it out, you can test it out using the already given training method]

"Wait... No, you just want me to suffer again" David said realizing the A.Is plan

[Sir you may call it suffering but it will be the most powerful aid you will have in the future; it will be best if you train anytime, you can] n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"If you weren't Nous, I would never listen to you" David complained as the shadow appeared again and immediately David began following all the movements in the room.

    At least he did all that didn't require equipment but then again, the routine was designed to help him train without much equipment, so it still worked out fine.

     David followed the shadow as diligently as he would normally do. He put all effort into the routine and just like before, he suffered for it however unlike before, he could actually feel himself getting stronger.

    It wasn't just a gut feeling; he could feel his bones condense to help him exhibit more strength. His skin got thicker, his blood richer and his heart beat way much more faster than usual.

"Is this what the routine does?" David asked surprised by his suddenly enhanced senses and all the slow and small processes that were going on in his system.

[No, you are only at the entry stage... It's strength lies after you have become a full fledge tier 1 Editor] Nous replied

"You make it sound like some cultivation technique" David said jokingly.

[Sir, in reality, the most sensible and logical way a being can become powerful would be through some form of you so-called 'cultivation'. The power system is complete and you cant truly cheat your way through it]

"It's a cultivation technique?!" David shouted in shock

      He always knew that the exercise he had put through was different and special, but he didn't think it was something straight out of a novel or manhua.

"Does this mean that the Gods are just really powerful cultivators?" David asked

      Nous had previously confirmed the existence of the gods so it would make sense for them to be cultivators as well with the recent reveal.

[Like in your novels and manhua, there are some people that are born with extremely advanced bloodlines or 'physiques' as they call them. So yes, the gods are really powerful cultivators with very special physiques]

     Hearing her, David immediately fell in thought. It made sense, he didn't know what power system he expected as he is entered the supernatural side of the universe.

     However, thinking about it now, the cultivation power system was the most sensible in this world. Of course, he didn't believe that everything was word to word the same as it is in fiction.

     If it was so, then it wouldn't be truly realistic. The Cultivation power system came with the benefit of a complete and steady power rise, specialties that would fit and describe the gods etc.

   And above all it also incorporated magic into it. The magic power system on the other hand was loose and didn't offer as much as the cultivation power system.

   So, for now, he believed that if there was to be a power system in the real world then it would surely have many similarities to the cultivation power system.

[Sir it will be advisable that you don't take this to heart, it will not help you in anyway at all] Nous said

"But it will, cultivators think differently compared to normal magic users"

[Sir do not confuse fiction with reality... This world's power system may seem similar to that of a cultivator but it doesn't mean that the worlds are exactly the same]

"I know" David replied then focused on his training

     A few minutes later, David was done but the rush he felt and the changes were still ongoing. He felt himself becoming stronger by far.

    Of course, he didn't know by how much but he could clearly tell that he was getting stronger. The only problem with his current situation was that he had no way to compare it to the other new Editors as of now.

    There was no written down heights that he would have to reach to be recognized as a strong individual which means as of now he was in the dark.

"Can I increase the speed of growth,I feel like I am able to do that... Like control if I want six times the boost or just only two times"

[Naturally you can sir, however anything beyond a two times boost to your current growth might and will result in your death]

"I thought as much" David said as he tried his best to remove the 'float' effect from his shirt.

   Even if he planned to marry Fadila and trusted her as much as he did his mother. He didn't think it would be a good idea to let her see the Editor side of everything as of yet.

"Anyway Nous, did you find any good industries, we can put our hands into for now"

[I have however for now, I would suggest you start investing in creating a headquarters for the company. That way, you can enter the Virtual Reality industry and virtually any industry you want] Nous suggested

"That's true... Well, fifty million naira is more than enough to create such a place" David said even if he wasn't so sure such an expense would-be worth it.

    As much as he wanted and would love to follow through with all his plans, the Event was always there to be a stumbling block.

     The very fact that he had no idea when  it will begin meant that he had to be careful in what he put his hands into. From where he stood, Nous's idea to start a paramilitary was now making a bit more sense even if he wouldn't be able to stomache the guilt that comes with it.

       However since he didn't know it would begin, it was best that he prepared all he needed for personal survival while acting as though the Event was like the coming of our Lord Jesus.

     He will come back one day but nobody knows when so it was best to simply do good for when it comes and that's exactly what he planned to do now
