Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Just like that, seven days have passed since the hunting party took a bath to clean themselves of dirt. Fushigiro had decided for them to continue their pace and go deeper into the mountain. Since the longer they stay, the higher the possibility of something going wrong.

During those days, they tried their best to recover from their injuries as much as possible. To prepare themselves for the battles that they would have to face in the future. They use a variety of herbs with medicinal effects that the hunting party had been using for years when they were hunting.

They weren't magic herbs or anything. Just those normal ones, but they can significantly support the body's natural healing factor. Caleb actually found that those herbs also exist on Earth.

First, Anica... Arnica is often used topically in creams or gels for bruises, sprains, and muscle soreness. It contains compounds that reduce inflammation and promote blood circulation, helping to alleviate pain and swelling. He applied it on his injured arm and it really works wonders.

Arnica has bright yellow daisy-like flowers with golden centers. The petals are slightly hairy and can range from pale yellow to deep orange. The plant grows to about 1-2 feet in height.

Second, Comfrey, Comfrey is often referred to as "knit bone" due to its ability to promote the healing of broken bones and tissue. It supports the regeneration of cells and can be seen as an herbal cast for the body.

Comfrey has hairy lance-shaped leaves and produces clusters of bell-shaped flowers. The flowers can be pink, purple, or white, and the plant can grow up to 3-4 feet tall.

Third, Turmeric. Turmeric is well-known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It helps reduce inflammation and pain while supporting the body's natural healing response. Think of it as a spice that soothes the body from the inside out. You know? The spice they use for Chicken Curry.

Turmeric is a tropical plant with large green leaves and vibrant, deep-orange underground rhizomes (roots). When fresh, it resembles ginger root but has a distinct bright color.

And lastly, Chamomile... Chamomile has anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain-relieving) properties. It can be likened to a gentle, calming friend that eases discomfort and promotes relaxation during the healing process.

Chamomile features small, daisy-like flowers with white petals and a bright yellow central disk. The plant has feathery, fern-like leaves and can grow to around 12-24 inches tall.

Caleb found himself learning in the company of the hunting party members. They haven't survived in the wild for years for nothing. They have various knowledge helpful for survival and Caleb was benefitting greatly from all of it. He had even taken a few leaves for himself and stored them in his backpack.

Jin did his best to teach him the importance of weapon maintenance along the way. After every hunting trip, it's essential for hunters to clean their weapons thoroughly. Use a cleaning rod, patches, and a cleaning solution to remove dirt, debris, and residue from the barrel and action. This is like giving their weapons a nice, refreshing bath to keep them clean and free from buildup.

Before and after each hunt, hunters should inspect their weapons for any signs of damage or wear. They need to check for cracks, dents, or loose parts. This is like giving their weapons a check-up to catch any issues early on.

Jinn and Miles were the ones responsible for all of these. Jin has somewhat of a clean-freak nature. They applied a thin layer of lubricant to all the metal parts of their weapons, including the blade of his Odachi, action, and moving parts. This prevents rust and ensures smooth operation.

Think of it as giving their weapons a little massage to keep them running smoothly. Hunters need to keep their blades sharp. So Jin and Miles are using a sharpening stone or honing rod to maintain a razor-sharp edge. Think of it like sharpening a pencil to make it write smoothly.

Now, they are at a relative height on the mountain. Caleb didn't know how high they were, specifically in terms of meters, but he felt that breathing had become more and more difficult and his steps becoming more and more heavy. Evident by Fatty, who was already huffing and puffing behind him.

"Johan, can you carry me on your back? Aren't you strong now?" Fatty said tiredly, but his voice had a hint of provocation.

"What? Are you a beauty?" Caleb refused decisively. "If you are beauty, I would have gladly done so."

"Hey, brother. Don't you know the saying... Bros before hoes?" Fatty responded disappointedly.

Caleb turned his head speechlessly at Fatty behind him and stopped in his tracks, feeling irked by him. He pretended to give him a menacing glare and made a threat. "I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye."

Fatty blinked in confusion.

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?"

Caleb shook his head and decided to ignore the other party. Thanks to seven days, he has accumulated another seventy units of taboo energy.

'Status!'

He just needs another one hundred fifty units and he would acquire his long-awaited new ability. He was rather curious. What ability would he get? He hoped that would get a powerful one, evolved like a fish that leaped into a dragon gate. The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. He didn't have a European luck. No, he has a dog-shit luck. Evident by his hundred deaths. Can he really luck out? At least he hopes that even if he doesn't acquire a powerful one, at least it should be useful.

He doesn't believe with the saying in various Anime that 'There's no useless ability, only a useless user.' He must say, bullshit! There's an absolutely useless ability!

How so? Let's use Anime as a reference. After all, he was fond of them in his past life.

Some anime abilities have inherent limitations that make them objectively less effective than others. For example, consider an ability that allows the user to change the color of leaves in a forest at will. While this power might be creatively used in niche situations, it lacks the practicality and versatility of abilities like super strength, elemental control, or telekinesis.

or...

The effectiveness of an ability often depends on the context and the user's creativity. However, this doesn't mean all abilities can be equally useful. Take an ability that allows the user to summon a teacup. While a creative user might find some unconventional uses for it, such as using it as a distraction or makeshift weapon, it doesn't change the fact that summoning a teacup is far less advantageous than abilities like teleportation or time manipulation.

or...

In a battle or competitive setting, some abilities are simply outclassed by others. If one person can create nuclear explosions, and another can generate a gentle breeze, the latter's ability is objectively less useful for combat or achieving goals that require significant power.

While some abilities can be improved through training and innovation, others have a steeper learning curve and are limited by their fundamental nature. For instance, the ability to talk to houseplants might have limited practical applications, no matter how skilled the user becomes.

Some abilities may come across as gimmicky rather than genuinely useful. For instance, an ability to produce bubbles might be charming but lacks the utility and effectiveness of abilities that provide real strategic advantages.

In conclusion, it's essential to acknowledge that while creativity and user ingenuity can enhance the utility of many abilities, not all powers are equally practical or effective. There are indeed abilities in anime that, by their very nature, have inherent limitations and are less useful in various contexts. While the saying "There's no useless ability, only a useless user" promotes creativity and adaptability, it doesn't negate the existence of objectively less practical or advantageous abilities.

So he must say in their face. 'Bullshit!
