The Life Hacker System 41 The Realities Of Gaining Strength Too Fas

Standing in the centre of the now destroyed dojo Taka began to inspect his body. He soon came to realise just how much his bloodline had powered him up and he was scared.

Very scared.

Now having an abundance of strength sounds fun. With an abundance of strength or super strength for short, you could accomplish many things or become many things. You could become an unrivalled fighter or a crime fighter like you see in comics, you could even become an unstoppable criminal if you wanted to take a darker path and that's only naming a few potential paths.

However it only becomes fun when you have complete control over said strength, because without control it's useless.

Simple tasks such as opening doors become impossible.

A simple hug may kill someone, even a pat on the back may result in you breaking someone's spine and this was the problem Taka was currently facing, this lack of control.

Frozen in place, afraid to make the slightest movement Taka had to turn to Hacker for help.

'Hacker, I need ya bud.'

[How may I be of a.s.sistance host?]

Thinking for a moment an idea came to mind.

'Hacker is there anything in the shop that can restrict my strength till I'm used to it?'

[Yes host, there are seals available in the shop that can restrict hosts strength and speed until host has trained himself to use them adequately.]

Hacker paused before spitting out another piece of information.

[Host will probably experience the world in slow motion for a while due to the ma.s.sive increase in stats. This will stop after host has trained himself to control it.]

Taka quickly opened the system and jumped to the shop menu.

'Hacker please show me the restriction seals available.'

*DING*

[Restriction seals now showing.]

'Thanks Hack.'

[No worries host ahahaha, here to help ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )]

(A/N: I swear that Hacker has personality issues ٩◔̯◔۶)

[Restriction Seals- available.

Looking over the seals Taka was unsure of which one to choose, so once again he turned to Hacker for advice.

'Oii Hack, you got any idea which ones I should choose?'

[I recommend Host chooses both the beginner and the intermediate training seals, with these and the addition of hosts skill 'Body Control Proficiency' Host will gain control of his strength and speed in little over 2 hours.]

Hearing Hacker say this he had to control the impulse to jump joy, mainly because he didn't know how far he'd jump.

'Hacker purchase the beginner and intermediate training seals please.'

[Host wishes to buy:

-Beginner training seal-Restricts 25% of strength and speed- Price: 250 SP

-Intermediate training seal-Restricts 50% of strength and speed- Price: 500 SP

Total cost: 750 SP

Cost will be reduced from Shop points.

Does host wish to proceed with purchase?]

'Yep'

[Beginner training seal and Intermediate training seal brought.]

[Host has 18,750 shop points remaining.]

[Does host wish to apply a seal to hosts body?]

'Yes, Hacker which seal do you suggest?'

[I recommend using the Intermediate training seal first as it will halve your strength and speed. Though even with half, it is still double your previous strength and speed, so it won't be too taxing on host's body.'

'Okay apply the Intermediate training seal'

[As you request]

The seal was applied and Taka quickly felt its effects.

His body felt sluggish and heavy but at least he could walk now without ending up face first in a building.

With the seal applied Taka could now have a proper look at his surroundings, at the damage he'd caused and he was surprised.

The damage the infusion of his abilities had done was noticeable to say the least.

The dojo for one, had been completely destroyed.

The windows in the surrounding buildings shattered and there were some very noticeable structural damages to his and Fen's home.

It went without saying that Taka wouldn't be able to talk himself out of this one….

Well not completely.

All of this took a while to explain but it all happened in a single minute.

In fact from the moment Taka's abilities had infused till this point only one minute had pa.s.sed but because of Taka's ma.s.sive increase in stats mainly in his agility, the world had slowed. Exactly like Hacker had said it would but with the application of the seal, the world had sped up slightly, well enough so that people didn't just sound like moaning zombies when they spoke.

Soon voices were heard coming towards his location and the light padding of Fen rus.h.i.+ng towards him.
