excellent liar

A black transparent screen appeared in front of Lorad. It was in a language he had never seen before, at least that was not the local language of the Sky City, the Arkanian language.

But he was able to understand it. He himself was surprised by that. He looked at the screen appearing in front of him before cursing. The screen show up :

full name : Lorad Sostini

age : 18 years old

the gift : [ ??? ]

gift class : [ ??? ]

description of the gift : [ You were born into the darkness so you are a part of it as it is a part of you . ]

" ??? " What in lord's name does this mean? .Lorad forgot to check his surroundings and focused all his attention on the screen appearing in front of him . He was already beginning to imagine himself as a superhero. There were many short stories published in the daily newspapers about an ordinary person who obtains an unknown supernatural ability and enters into a struggle of adventures to save humanity, but what really bothered him. the description of the gift , it made him feel kind of disgusted .

He also felt a slight headache that could not even be compared to his usual headache, but this was not the only change. Rather, he felt as if his senses had become weaker, but the biggest problem was that his whole body seemed to be affected as well. It was like his body was not entirely his own anymore. Lorad tried to move his fingers, and while they did respond, the movement was sluggish, as if he was underwater. The sensation was disconcerting, to say the least .

If there was no bandage on her eyes, the saint would have clearly witnessed the Lorad's skin turning pale .

The only thing that brought Lorad back to reality was the voice of the saint when she spoke " Mr. Sostini , what is the class and ability of your gift ? "

" is ....." Lorad's lips moved to utter the answer as soon as the question was asked, but he ordered himself to stop at the last moment.

A certain memory resurfaced in his mind when his father told him that he had to say that he had a Class C gift. He didn't know why he told him to do that, and he still doesn't know.

Even more, more questions than before rushed into Lorad's head. Did Baltimos know, that this would happen? But this was impossible. It was not possible to use predictive abilities to know the gifts offered, despite the presence of many people with these abilities.

Lorad's mind raced with conflicting thoughts as he stood before the saint, the black transparent screen still hovering before him. The cryptic message it displayed, "You were born into the darkness so you are a part of it as it is a part of you," echoed in his mind, leaving him more confused than ever.

His initial excitement at the prospect of possessing an extraordinary gift had quickly turned to apprehension. The description of his gift was unsettling, hinting at a connection to darkness that he could not quite comprehend. The physical changes he was experiencing, the dull headache, the weakened senses, and the sluggish movements, further amplified his sense of unease.

There was a comfortable silence in the small area, but it was unnerving for Lorad. He counted every second that passed and stared at the saint's unchanged face.

He didn't really know what to say. Let's be honest, Lorad was not going to follow his father's orders this time. He wanted to break free from the control he had over him for a long time, but now it seemed as if he was the saving angel who wanted his son to survive, even if he lied to the council.

Although the system changed this year, this could also be called a council. In front of Alvar was now a young man instead of the previous woman, and he did not care about the saint side at all.

Lorad knew that his decision would have far-reaching consequences. If he followed his father's instructions and lied about his gift, he would be living a life of deception, constantly fearing exposure. But if he chose honesty, he risked facing the unknown, potentially endangering himself and those around him.

The weight of the decision pressed heavily upon Lorad's shoulders. He closed his eyes, seeking inner guidance .

Lorade is in a difficult situation. He's been given a gift he doesn't understand, and he's not sure what to do with it. He also has to decide whether to tell the truth about his gift to the council.

There are pros and cons to both options. If Lorad told the truth, he would be able to get the help he needed to understand and control his gift. However, he may also be putting himself in danger , or even more so, he may be controlled and subjected to scientific experiments, but this will be against the will of Lord , However, If he lied about his gift , he would be able to avoid any immediate danger, also live a life of deception, and may never be able to fully understand or control his gift .

Lorad is ultimately the one who will have to decide what to do. There is no easy answer, and he will have to carefully weigh the risks and benefits of each option.

"Anyway," Lorad sighed inwardly .

"My gift," he declared, his voice firm and unwavering, "is a Class C gift of enhanced perception."

His gift had no chance of competing with his desire to preserve his dear life.
