Effect Of [The Forbidden Fruit Of Eden], Start Of The [Scriptures Of Glorious Elements]

/////The Next Day/////

Vincent who has remained nude and asleep for the past 24 hours all of a sudden began to exhibit signs of awakening. Gradually, He awoke from his slumber, got up from the floor, and began his daily ritual.

After a chill bath, He sat on the room bed, and let out a long breath with this his daze wore off and his eyes brightened.

He at long last became aware of the cracks on the wall, floor, and ceiling of the room, even the furniture laid in pieces.

“What the…!”

A sudden headache cut off his sentence, it made him hold his head as he suffered great pain, “Aarg!”

However, with the headache came the memories of the previous night playing like a movie. A few minutes after, the aching stopped leaving behind phantom pains and vivid memories.

[Good morning, Host.]

Vincent swore he could feel a sense of smugness from the System.

''What the hell happened to the room!?” He asked.

[A massive influx of ether from you and the Fruit of Eden destroyed the room.]

“I must have blacked out since I don’t remember it.”

[You did blackout.]

''*Sigh*, tell me what happened after I ate the fruit'' He asked with a sigh

[Ok]

[After you ate the Fruit of Eden, it began to work on your body causing you to faint.]

''What did it do, System.”

[The fruit of Eden first tempered your soul. This caused a pain that triggered the defense mechanism of your mind and body that is why you passed out. This is the 1st effect]

''Pain? I don't remember any pain. Unless… Mental Block.''

[Exactly, I’m pleased to know that you are a tad bit smart.]

“Hey, what do you mean!?”

[Either way, the memory of the pain is now sealed within The Eidetic Library of Knowing. You can check it out if you feel like passing out again.]

''Ok, leave that, continue with what happened.''

[After the tempering, you are now capable of wielding Mana, Ether, Divinity, Od, and much more all at the same time. This is the 2nd effect]

“Wait, What!... Is that possible!”

[Yes, it is.]

“Wow! Doesn’t that make me a freak of nature then? Even a Migas that should, in theory, be able to use Mana and Ether can’t.”

[Well, you were already a freak of nature from the beginning, there’s nothing wrong in being more… freaky.]

“…I guess.”

[Good, in that case, I continue with the report.]

[After the tempering, the fruit began its second effect which was to connect you to the Universe. But, only a piece of the fruit is not capable of such. Instead, an alternative was done. It created a contract to the next best thing, [Yggdrasil: Horse of The Realms]. This grants you an extraordinary affinity to [Space]. This is the 3rd effect]

“Wait, what is Yggdrasil?”

[Yggdrasil is an artifact of Elohim. It connects the Realms and allows instantaneous interstellar travel between them.]

“Oh, I see”

[Should I continue or would you continue to interrupt me every second?]

Vincent snorted at the system sarcasm, “Go ahead, I won’t interrupt.’

[Thank you]

[Following the connection to Yggdrasil, the fruit went on to take root within your soul. I will grow into a Tree of Eden and with time produce a mature complete Fruit of Eden. This is the 4th effect]

[The last effect is resistance to mind attacks and soul protection.]

[That is all, do you have any questions.]

“Yes, how long will the Fruit of Eden take to mature, and also is it harmful to me as it does and when it does.” He asked.

[It is unknown how long it’ll take for a Fruit of Eden to grow into a mature Tree of Eden, however, expect that it won’t be soon. And no, the fruit would not harm you in both cases.]

“That's a bit disappointing. the prospect of infinite fruits of Eden is a little exciting but that seems to be in the far future for now.”

Gone was the previous religious fear of the Fruit of Eden, Awe, and exhilaration had replaced that. Despite this, He was still a bit cautious of the fruit so he calmed down soon to ask an important question.

''System if the Fruit is not harmful, then why was Adam sent out after he ate it''

[...]

“…”

[…]

“…”

[I knew you wouldn't let it go]

''Of course, I wouldn't''

[I didn’t expect you to in the first place, it’s not in your personality after all.]

[…]

[I can’t tell you everything that happened; however, I can tell you this. Adam was sent out because of his greed.]

''Greed, but I thought that there was no sin then?''

[No there wasn't, but still, Adam had it.]

''I don’t understand''

[You don’t need to. Just know that the apple wasn't the reason why he was sent away.]

“…”

'The apple'

'Garden of Eden.’

'Me being his descendant'

'The system'

'This doesn't add up’ He concluded

So, he asked another question.

''What about Eve''

[...]

[Eve was an unlucky individual caught up in a mistake.]

[Leave this topic, I suggest you assimilate with The Scriptures of Glorious Elements]

Sensing a bit of unease, Vincent chose to leave the topic.

‘I may be overthinking, but it feels like with each day that passes the system becomes more… Humane.’

He thought as he took out The Scriptures of Glorious Elements from his storage ring.

''So how do I do this'' He asked the system

[Unfold the scroll and set it on your lap, afterward drizzle your Ether into it.]

Vincent went through with the system's instructions. When he did the scroll shone in bright light. It blew up into Luminant green particles that rushed towards his forehead. He fainted again after that, at least this time he did so on a bed.

/////In an unknown place/////

“*Gasp*”

Vincent jerked awake and found himself in an expanse of darkness. He stood before 7 Giants standing before 7 tall pillars. Each giant can be estimated to be 15 to 16 feet.

Before the Titans, Vincent showed no fear, only caution.

‘Giants. Their build is massive, they can probably crush me with a stomp. If things get too dangerous, I may have to use it again.’

Vincent's monologue stopped when one of the beings before a pillar that had the marking of fire spoke to him in a thundering voice.

''A demi-human not from our bloodline managed to find our inheritance. I must be hallucinating!'' The giant said before laughing wildly.

Another giant spoke next with a cold feminine voice. She was before a pillar with a marking (Drawing) of a snowflake.

''Tell us boy, who are you!?''

Before Vincent answered, another spoke with a calming sage-like tone. This titan stood before a pillar with the marking (Drawing) of greenery.

''Calm down, leader. For him to be here without being a descendant of our sect or our bloodline. That means that he has a high affinity for all our elements.''

''That's impossible!'' The giant before the pillar of ice said with surprise evident in her tone.

''Maybe but there are only 2 cases where someone can be eligible for our Inheritance. One, if that person is of our bloodline, or two if that person has an affinity for our elements. He doesn’t seem to be the first so he’s the second.”

Before the Giant of Ice could reply, A thundering laughter quaked through the room, ''Bahahaha!''

''And what is funny.'' The Giant of Ice growled.

“Nothing Ice Douche, I’m just relinquishing the fact that you all don’t notice that he is the perfect successor.”

''What do you mean!?''

''Really? Don’t you sense it?”

“Sense what!”

''The contract with [Yggdrasil] he has on him.”

''What!”
