Of Eyes and Skys

After mom screamed it didn't take long for dad to hurry over, " Honey. what happened to Mortimer? What is that stench?" he said and realized the horrible stench coming from my bed.

Mom hurriedly took the bedsheets and moved past me into the bath while she did that she said, " Mortimer we need to talk but first this needs to be taken care of."

It didn't take long and I could hear the washing machine. All this time dad tried to not throw up. So I went and opened the window to let fresh air in. It didn't take long for mom to return but the stench still wasn't any better. "Mortimer, let's go downstairs so we can talk." said mom. we went downstairs and then I explained what had happened.

Mom then asked the first question." That explains where the black stuff came from, but not what happened to your eyes and why is your skin so smooth?" When mom said that I rubbed my hand and indeed my hand was extremely soft and smooth. confused I looked at mom and asked, " What is wrong with my eyes?" Mom didn't say anything just walked over to her bag took out a mirror and handed it to me. she then said, " Look for yourself."

I looked into the mirror at first I saw nothing ordinary but then I saw a small star that shines in the pupil. not only that but my pupil had such a depth to it. it was as If I could see right into my soul.

I remembered that in the plane my skill crystal turned into a star. then I stormed upstairs I to the bath to get my PAS and looked at my skill. but something was strange first of my stepping skill was gone. secondly, my skill slots were 'Error two open' under till next there was an error message as well.

They couldn't determine my skill slots and they lost track my stepping skill. I went and tried to feel the stepping skill and there wasn't any problem. I slowly walked downstairs and saw my parent there waiting for me. This time it was dads turn to speak first, "Mortimer what's wrong." with an awkward smile on my face I said, " I think Linda is going to be mad again, it seems I broke the system they made once more." they looked at me with a look of disbelieve. "I think I just completed my first skill and now they can't detect it anymore." I then went and looked at my stats and found out that my list was incredible long most were on 2.0 but all the stats I had before were even higher and with reaction reaching an unbelievable 12.2. my mana was exactly 510 before this it was even halved of this. It was then that my dad finally said something, " Honey you should look at Mortimer stats, I don't know what to say anymore." Mom looked at her PAS as well and then started at it in total disbelieve. we were silent for a bit before dad said something I will probably never forget, " Congrats son you are now the record holder for the most overall stat points gained and the first to break the 1000 mark without any boost. You have just written history. I think the guilds will want to recruit you as soon as possible, once they are clear this isn't an error. Right now it still looks like that." It was then that I asked them, " what should I do now?" I was completely and utterly overwhelmed by this whole situation. We talked for a bit and calmed each other down. Mom suggested I stop diving and become a teacher on this process I discovered but I think she just wanted me to stop diving. Dads approach was more in terms with my goals. I should focus on school and then divers school, after that, I can still looking into joining a guild. what I should definitely do was write a report about what I did and give it to Linda as part of my contract that I had just made. I should also look for a mentor that could let me catch up with my stats. It was then I remembered the offer mister Zealand had made to me some weeks ago. I would ask him tomorrow at school as it was incredibly late. we all went back to bed. I was tired and just wanted to drop onto my bed but I still needed to but new sheets back on.

The next day was pretty hectic Linda came over pretty early and made me write the report about what I did and asked some questions after she read it through. then I went to school and everyone wanted to know what had happened and of course, they all were shocked by my eyes and the smoothness of my skill. Almost all of the girls tried to touch my skin at first it was pretty exciting but it soon was just disturbing. At the lunch break, I went to the teacher's office and asked for mister Zealand. "Ohh, Mortimer. I heard what happened so what is it that you are here for." said mister Zealand when he saw me. I was a bit shy to bring it up after such a long time, " You offered to be my mentor and I would like to take you up on that offer." He just smiled at me and said, " I was hoping for that. So when do you want to start?" " To be honest I would like to start right now but I don't have the time till after the finals so I would like to start right after them." Mister Zealand nodded at this and then said, " If we do this I can't make sure you will pass the exam to enter the diver's school." " That is no problem, as I am already accepted into divers school." He smiled at me and then said, " Then we won't have any problems, then we will start training the days after the finals." I just nodded at him and we separated for the time being.
