My Gene System

Emma couldn't believe what her eyes seeing right now. But it was what it was as Riku showed strong evidence to prove that he wasn't lying at her.

"Riku, I didn't what exactly happen to you. But I think someone put a strong magical curse on you." That was her opinion since the occurrence that transpired to him wasn't an ordinary circumstance.

In his mind, Riku was extremely laughing cause he knew the main reason why he was feeling something like this. Or to be more simple, it was the weakness of his gene which was the dark crow.

The monster and ordinary crow weren't the same. Why? The ordinary crow could freely fly under the yellow bright sun while the Dark Crow monster couldn't survive with it.

Yet, he can't admit that he a curse to Emma, knowing this would find a way to treat him which wasn't good. To didn't get longer the story, he made a faster story and pretended that he recalled something inside his mind.

"No, Emma, I don't have any magical curse inside my body. I think I have this when I was born in this world." He was pointing his head closer to the dried surface, showing that he had severe pain on his head right now.

She was worried about him, so she narrowly rubbed his back as she was aware of his condition. "Riku, don't think too much! Look at yourself, you are now experiencing severe pain. If this continues, I don't think I would agree to resume this expedition." She said in a high tone.

And all of a sudden, he gradually pushed himself into a stood up position. "Yes, I'll do that, Emma. But in the meantime, we must continue to find the last material we have needed so we can leave this dangerous place." He muttered and walked down out of this volcano.

Emma couldn't do anything right now as she could see in Riku's eyes that he was eager to take that thing. So she just simply raised her shoulders, then followed his path. Of course, she was still assisting him since she had no idea when this man would fall again.

After thirty minutes they were strolling down in this volcano. Luckily, they already reached the plat surface where they could see the healthy small green grassed and lively colorful flowers that were dancing around. Aside from that, both of them had broad smiles on their faces as they didn't face any type of monsters.

On the other side, Riku had no intention to lower his guard, knowing the monster would appear any time. "Emma, continue to watch the surrounding, and if you notice something suspicious can you quickly report it to me?" He ordered them politely, respecting that this woman could defeat him in one versus one match-up.

She nodded her head at him, happy that this woman ordered her just like they were real friends. To describe her reaction right now, she thought Riku was afraid that someone going to hurt her.

"Leave everything to me, Riku." She confidently replied while her eyes were started to gleam along with a different color. It seemed she was using a magic technique that can help her to determine if there was a monster closer to their area.

Moreover, she admitted that she made a big mistake by not using this skill as the Magma Golem succeeded to make a sneak attack and knocked her down.

While roaming around, Riku noticed that there was something new in this woman. Without making any second thought, he moved his face near to her and blinked his eyes in confusion. Trying to figure out why Emma's eyes suddenly modified into a different color.

"Hey, Emma? Can you tell me how you change your eye's color?" He was certain that this woman used her magical ability. So if he was wondering if he can use that skill and enlarge his survival ability in his new world.

"Oh, do you mean my [Mana sensing]?" She asked him in a sweet tone, at the same time, aware Riku wanted to know more about her skill.

Even though he was clueless about those words, still, he nodded his head without hesitation as he wanted to discover how this skill exactly work. "Of course, Emma! I didn't know some of the things in this world after I lost my memories."

She just smiled at him, explaining how she cast that skill and how it works. "[Mana sensing] this is the magical ability where is the user allowing to see all things around it just like a person, flower, monster and to be more simple all the things that had magical power. By doing this, it can help to enlarge my instinct and locate if someone going closer to me or if there's a sneak attack came from the monster."

At this point, he easily understood the [Mana sensing] as it was their way to open up their other senses. At the same time, this skill had a similarity to the goggles they were using to locate the specific position of the monster. It is called "Monster Radar" that was started to beeping once the monster reached the fifty meters radius of it.

"[Mana sensing]... That's an interesting skill, isn't it?" He was rubbing his chin along with a malicious smile on his face.

Emma already knew what would happen next here. But what she could do? this was an ability that was impossible to learn in one day so it means she can't teach him right now as it needed one week or two weeks. Yet, if she guessed Riku could learn this ability more or less one month, her basis here was the current amount of his magical power.

"Well, I think I don't have no choice." She replied nonchalantly, showing how she cast this skill before adding and raising her index finger at the blue clear sky. "It's hard to learn this ability, Riku. So I'll teach you once we came back to the Arzotoc village."

After she spits these words. First thing first, she stood up and looked straight in front of her. Since Riku was a beginner, she must tell about the full details, knowing Riku wasn't that stupid to catch up in a simple instruction. Furthermore, she started to utilize her green mana by coating her entire body.

"Once you manage to stabilize your mana throughout your body. The next thing you should do is to concentrate your mana in a certain position which is your eyes. If you succeeded to do that, you could see what the ordinary eyes couldn't see."

Since she was using it for several years, she can utilize this skill without having a hard time. On top of that, she was looking around to check if there was something suspicious around them.

"It can't be master for a couple of days, so you should have some lesson for me every night-" She stopped looking around as her eyes were widened.

"This is how you do it, right?" Riku said while his eyes were gleaming and slowly turning into black violet eyes.

Yes! Riku easily learned to cast that skill in an instant. Where no one ever in this world possibly can do that. To put it simply, after he fought the Metallic Giant Spider his mana pool increased as he put all of his free attributes to the intelligence. At the same time, he had a high IQ so he effortlessly learned something even it was the first time he saw it.

His eyes were filled by the magicoules flying around. It had a transparent blue color that came from the trees, rocks, and colorful flowers surrounding the area. At this point, he was persistent to know what the aura released by the monster. However, he wasn't given a chance to find out that after the [Mana Sensing] cut off and the new blue wide elevated screen appeared in front of him.

[Unlock skill]

•[Mana sensing]- this is the way in this world to determine creatures around the area. Mana cost: -- it had no mana cost as long as the user had the remaining mana pool inside its body.

The screen that suddenly appeared quickly disappeared right in front of his eyes after Emma rushed towards him along with a shocked expression on her face.

"How you possibly do that, Riku? You just try this skill for the first time, isn't it? Also even I took several weeks to master this skill and you're just doing it under a minute?!" She yelled at him, didn't care even her voice spread in the entire forest.

Well, Riku was glad that there was a new skill added to him. At the same time, he already knew what type of reason he would say to this woman for her to believe. But first, he warned her of the important notice. "Lower your voice, Emma. The monster would go in our area if you always talk in that tone. Also, I think the reason why I easily learn this skill is that I think I already used it before I lost my memories."

"I won't believe you!
