Last Wish System-Chapter 11

Yale opened his eyes confused, his memories were fuzzy and his body heavy.

“You finally awakened, I already thought that you would remain unconscious forever.”

That was Swordmad’s voice; he was beside Yale’s bed seated in a chair.

“Master, what…”

“Stop, you look confused, clear your mind or even if I explain to you what happened, you wouldn’t understand.”

Yale stopped talking and tried to recall what happened to him.

“I went to the Clan’s Gathering and won the exhibition battle against Blackor…”

Until that moment he recalled clearly.

“After that… something weird happened… everyone fell into an illusion… but I wasn’t affected… someone wanted to kill my sister… I tried to save her…”

Yale expression changed.

“But I failed… and received a hit in the chest… I died.”

“To be more exacts you almost died, you are still alive and completely healed since a long time ago, but you remained unconscious until now.”

Yale was trying to think more quickly, but his mind wasn’t completely clear.

“Then… for how long have I been asleep?”

“A bit more than sixteen months.”

Yale face changed, even in his confused state the fact that he slept for more than a year was still shocking.

“That wound… it should have been lethal… but I’m still alive.”

“I asked all the healers present in the Clan’s Gathering to save you; your sister remained until she fainted from exhaustion. Don’t worry she’s fine.”

Yale felt grateful to his master and wanted to thank him, but he had no chance to do so.

“You can’t thank me for that. It was my fault; if I went to the Clan’s Gathering, there was no way such things would have happened in front of my eyes. Furthermore, I was too slow and only arrived after the attack hit you.”

Yale didn’t blame his master, no one expected that such a thing could happen. However, he didn’t thank his master, that was because Swordmad himself didn’t want Yale to thank him.

“You don’t have to worry about your body, even if you slept for more than a year, the clan and the Nacesai Academy used a lot of precious herbs and treasures to help you recover, I can ensure to you that they weren’t stingy with their methods.”

Yale didn’t expect that his master did that much to heal him, but Yale was mistaken, it wasn’t because of his master.

“Your sister is a very important person to the whole city, the Nacesai Academy, and the Roanmad clan value her a lot, you saved her when not even her bodyguards could. If they didn’t try their hardest to help you to recover they would’ve become a laughingstock.”

Yale was beginning to understand why that many efforts have been made to help him to recover, even if Swordmad’s words were true, Yale was sure that his sister asked for help from the clan and the academy.

“The one who attacked was an assassin from outside the city, he and his clan lived in the mountains and killed in exchange for money or valuables, I already exterminated them. However, I wasn’t able to discover who the mastermind who paid to get your sister killed was.”

Yale was shocked that Swordmad truly exterminated a whole clan, he heard about that before, but he thought that it was something exaggerated not literal. However, Yale didn’t feel pity for them; they were assassins who tried to kill his sister and almost killed Yale himself.

“The bad news to you, your sister hasn’t left the Nacesai Academy since that day, and she would stay inside until the mastermind got killed, the academy doesn’t want to take risks.”

Yale now felt depressed, he wanted his sister to be safe, but he couldn’t reunite with her until he entered the Nacesai Academy.

“I’ll let you rest; you need to absorb all the information. I doubt you would do it, but you can’t train until I permitted you. Starting to train hard just after awakening isn’t good for your body.”

After that, Swordmad left the room. Yale didn’t have any chances to speak more and simply stayed thinking about everything that happened.

After resting for an hour, Yale’s mind was in a better state, and he remembered the Last Wish System. When Yale tried to interact with the system some notifications appeared.

“User was badly injured, the system will take control of the body functions to help the recovery.”

“The intense pain generated the Passive Skill [Pain Tolerance: Level 1].”

“System forced the body to enter into hibernation mode to ensure a full recuperation.”

“A big amount of healing magic detected, redistributing in the most optimal mode way.”

“The user’s body became familiar with healing magic, [Healing Elemental Affinity: Lowest Grade] generated.”

“The user’s body became familiar with healing magic, [Healing Elemental Affinity: Low Grade] generated.”

“Enhancing body treasures were being used on user’s body, redistributing to enhance user’s physical body.”

“After having recovered from a fatal wound, the system rewarded the user with the Passive Skill [Auto-regeneration: Level 1].”

“The user awakened after risking his life in a heroic act, Legacy Skill [Absolute Protection] unlocked.”

That was a log from all notifications since Yale was badly injured.

The system was one of the reasons that saved Yale’s life distributing all the healing in the most optimal way, otherwise, even with that much healing magic, Yale’s chances of survival were slim.

His slumber was also to let his body fully recover from all internal injuries and sequelae; the wounds were too heavy, Yale was only alive because of the system, his master, and his sister’s status. Without any of those Yale would have had no chance for survival.

Yale was also startled by all the notifications, there were many things he wanted to check, but he started with the Stats Menu.

“Name: Yale Roanmad | Age: 8 (World’s law protection) | Origin Level: 0”

“Vitality: 10 | Strength: 8 | Agility: 7 | Intelligence: 10 | Wisdom: 10 | Dexterity: 8”

Yale looked at his Vitality, with the help of the system it had become maxed out by all the treasures used on his body. His strength also increased one point.

“I lost more than a year of training, but I doubt that I would have been able to have my Vitality points already maxed with normal training.”

Yale had strong requirements to accomplish within a time limit, so he became depressed when he heard that he lost a bit more than sixteen months. That meant that he only had less than twenty-two months until reaching the time limit.

However, with his vitality already maxed he couldn’t say that he lost those months, Yale still had chances of maxing all the stats before the time limit.

Yale then went to the Innate Talent Menu to check the newly acquired Elemental Affinity.

” Healing Elemental Affinity: Low grade.”

“Low affinity to practice healing magic.”

“Upgrading: Absorb massive amounts of healing magic to enhance the affinity.”

Yale was happy with this new affinity even if it was low grade; any healing affinity is useful. However, he didn’t understand the upgrading part.

“The system had a hidden function that allows the user to absorb some of the magic used on the user’s body or environment and use it to increase the affinities. The amounts required are extremely high.”

Yale didn’t know about such an awesome function, but it wasn’t something that he could use now. Yale received an incredible amount of healing magic and the affinity generated was still in only low grade, upgrading it or obtaining more affinities by this method didn’t seem realistic.

“There’s some time limit to use this hidden function?”

“There’s no time limit; the function will always be available for the user.”

Yale sighed in relieve. He couldn’t use it well at that moment, but in the future, he could slowly get some more affinities.

“It would take a lot of time, but after I reach Rank 1, I’ll have more time.”

Yale then went to check the Skill Menu; he obtained two new Passive Skills and that mysterious Legacy Skill.

“Pain Tolerance: Level 1. Increases the tolerance level of pain. This Passive Skill can be leveled up by suffering extreme pain.”

“Auto-regeneration: Level 1. The body would be automatically regenerated as long as the user isn’t dead, the regeneration speed will increase with each level. This Passive Skill can be leveled up by getting injured and then recovering.”

Yale liked that skills but hated the way to level them. Yale had just recovered he didn’t want to get more injuries or suffer more pain.

Yale sighed, and he finally put his eyes on the Legacy Skill, his face changed as he couldn’t believe what he was reading.
