Meditation.

While going towards his father's office Rodin decided to read the whole log segment and try to figure out what might have happened beforehand.

Pressing the filter button he changed the listing by date and time and start showing it from the beginning, after a few minutes the whole list of logs appeared in front of him.

[Logs]

[Emergency Takeover has been a success, Daniel Morn is now the host until the soul of Rodin Pirkos is fully healed.]

————————————————

[Due to Emergency Takeover a few of System functions have been restricted and one has been outright denied functionality.]

————————————————

'Thats just awesome, really, sigh, god damn errors, at least my consciousness managed to stay intact, but what now, do i just wait until this random mob wakes up and destroys my consciousness, hmm there has got to be a way for me to prevail.' Daniel couldnt help but gulp seeing that he is only a temporary host and might as well lose his "Self" if Rodin heals completely.

'Seems ill have to get powerful with my soul, i do remember a few items which increase the power of the soul, but they are extremely hard to aquire, some are hidden in underground desert paradises, some are hidden in mountain ridden peaks full of beasts and monsters, some under the ocean also full of monsters, and a few can be crafted from priceless materials and artifacts.' His frown deepened but he quickly got out of his thoughts as he arrived at his father's office.

Knocking on the door he heard a small and rough Yes coming from the other side, this was his que to enter, entering the room he couldnt help but salivate at all the artifacts on display.

'HOLY SHIT THIS GUY MUST BE AN ARTIFACT JUNKIE !' His eyes almost popped out looking at Roland's artifact collection hanging on the walls of the office.

*Cough*

Roland Coughed immediately dispelling Rodin's awestruck expression, looking at Roland he couldnt help but awkwardly laugh, taking a second to recuperate his mindset he opened his mouth.

"Give me all the books pertaining towards Spearmanship, Martial arts and Magic from the library." He stated calmly while looking at Roland with hopeful red eyes.

"Young master, if i may interrupt, we already delivered them after you had breakfast, i thought You went and cleaned your room already." Johan, the butler interrupted him while giving a stern look at the Young Master.

"You know what they say, there is no better day than tomorrow." He gave them a cheeky smile and rushed out of the office, leaving both old men flabbergasted, after a while both of them let out a chuckle and continued with their tasks.

Running through the Mansion was quite exhilarating, running felt so liberating, the wind touching his face always gave him a calm and collected mind.

*Thud*

After taking another turn with full speed he bumped into a maid, yeah, he forgot the mansion had maids, but weirdly enough this one was a bit too young to work here, looking at the little girl around the same age as Rodin, he couldnt help but ask her.

"Im sorry, are you alright ?" The little Girl looked up at him and struggled out a few inaudible gasps even he had a hard time trying to hear her.

"Oi, talk louder, i cant hear you, are you alright !?" Approaching her she blushed and nodded her head before rushing off towards an older looking maid who seems to have come for her rescue.

'Tsk, why are people so weird even here.' He clicked his tongue and with a yawn then approached his bedroom, it was still noon so he better get to his room and clean up real good, this was tasked to him as a way to recuperate, how this will help him is beyond him, but either way it wont hurt to clean up a bit.

Meanwhile the Little and big Maid where having a conversation and looking at the back of the departing Rodin.

"Why didnt you Apologize to the Young Master, do you want your big sister to be unpaid this month !?" The older woman asked which made the little maid show a pale expression.

"Sigh, count your lucky stars, since the Young Master is quite kind just like the Master." She brushed the head of the little maid, then they began cleaning the hallway in a serene silence, all the while the little maid still blushing from the previous event.

Arriving inside his bedroom he instantly noticed the big pile of books, he couldnt help but whistle at all the newly gained opportunity for knowledge and lack of boredom.

'Hmm, lets clean up first, its starting to stink in here.' And so, he began cleaning the room, a few stinky socks, dusty notebooks, juicy diary, dirty silk pants and spiders later the room looked better than before, prim and proper.

Looking out from the window, enjoying the serene touch of the wind he couldnt help but let out an awkward laugh since he was slowly getting used to this new body, Daniel couldnt help but sigh at his circumstances, first, he lost an important match, then he got incarnated into the body of a boy half his age.

To top it off he had to be reborn in the world of the game where he lost the match, saying his situation was dire was an understatement, he knew that even if he became strong, he couldnt enjoy any peace.

'Less thinking about the inevitable future, more about ways of getting rid of these shitty ailments.' He got up and started meditating, he only remembers fragments of a few items that could help out with the curse and cripple debufs, but if manages to get them then maybe the skills could be used again.

Five minutes later~

"What the hell, why is this so hard, people always said that you only have to clear your mind for this, urghh." He started complaining 5 minutes in, poor soul, he didnt know what other difficulties were awaiting him.

After finishing his nervous breakdowns he managed to calm his nerves and think about his breathing, Inhale, Exhale.

Those were the only two words repeating in a cycle of neverending pressure in the back of his mind always whispering, that death awaits no matter what he does.

Feeling the Air, slowly and surely traverse through his throat towards his Lungs, his chest slowly raising and the muscles relaxing, he felt the abyss slowly reach towards him and embrace him, for the first time in his 20 years, he felt free, so free and weightless that he could forget everything, slowly he let himself go.

*Thud*

"Ouch, note down, dont fall backwards while meditating." He said while scratching the back of his head, he looked out the window, but weirdly, the afternoon glow was gone and replaced by a hazy orange light enveloping the sky.

"Damn how long was i out ?" He couldnt help but ask nobody in particular.

"Four hours Young Master." Someone answered him and he just nodded along.

"Ahh, thanks.... WAIT, how long have you been there, Johan ?" He couldnt help but ask his Father's Butler, Johan, who seemingly appeared out of thin air.

"Just half an hour, I came to check on your progress, im satisfied with the appearance of the room." Johan nodded while looking around the room and checking it with the eyes of a hawk, not one nook or cranny was spared, letting out a sigh he left.

"That, was kind of anticlimactic, if i do say so myself." He couldnt help but chuckle at his own half hearted joke.
