Neurolink System in the Modern World

[Ding]

[Mission: Obtain the Key to the Door ] [Reward: Neurolink Overload]

'A mission?' I was suddenly jolted by the sound of the mission notification.

After reading the content, I recalled the door inside that dark space. I did feel something when I saw that door. It was like it was calling out to me. Unfortunately, I could not open it no matter what I did.

'Neurolink Overload?' That term made me curious. Just from that name, I could tell that it was a massive power-up. However, 'overload' suggests exceeding capacity, so it might be a very strong skill with a penalty after using it.

Regardless, I doubted that a skill from a mission would be weak. In fact, this was the first time the system gave a skill as a mission reward.

But the issue now revolved around the key. The system had just informed me that there was a key, but where and how could I find it?

The only thing that came to mind as a potential answer was my mother. Since I hadn't heard anything yet from the private investigator I hired, I needed to wait until he came back from North Korea.

So, for now, I decided to focus on increasing my powers. In order to rescue my mother, I needed all the strength I could muster. I doubted that they would just hand her over to me if I asked nicely.

[Aegis Projection Level 1 —> Level 20] [19.5 meters] [Authors Note . It was 0.5 meters not 5 meter per level]

"Nice!"

After seeing that the maximum height I could summon my Aegis Projection was 19.5 meters, I feel amazing.

That's almost 64 feet, which was almost the size of small building. For now, it's big enough, so I didn't increase it anymore. I need to personally check its usage first before deciding if I need to upgrade it further.

The next part was designing my Projection. I could have waited until I got home, but I was too excited to try it out. To make it easier for me to design it, I went into my Dream World where time could be slow down.

Of course, I still stayed alert by using parallel processing to get real-time data about my surroundings in the real world while I'm inside. Even though time might be different here, I could handle it by splitting my attention between the two.

In the empty space, I began to design the whole thing. The energy I could see was colored blue, so I first formed a projection of a semi-transparent azure aura.

Gradually, the aura took on the shape of a human figure. However, it lacked a face/skin, revealing only a skeletal frame. The top part of the skull was then sliced in half, exposing a brain surrounded by halos. Not just any halos, but five rings resembling a crown encircling the brain.

Then, on the body, there was a robe that resembled feathers, as if it were made of crows. The body extended another set of two arms, giving my projection a total of six long, thin arms. Each arm had a slender but powerful form, with palms that looked capable of smashing a person into pieces.

Lastly, a mask manifested on the face of the projection. It took the form of a devil, wearing a sinister, smiling expression. The combination of the skeletal frame, crow-feathered robe, multiple arms, and devilish mask created a striking and intimidating image for my Aegis Projection.

"WOW. This thing looks epic!" I exclaimed inside my dream after seeing the finished version on hand. It was so intimidating that just the sight alone would cause panic. It was even more awesome than the anime I took inspiration from. I even half expected it to strike a pose and demand a theme song whenever it appeared!

'I want to test this thing right away,' I mused aloud. Unfortunately, making it move in the dream world doesn't count. So, for now, I just need to save this image first so I can summon this thing anytime I want.

After wrapping everything, I decided to save the remaining points for the future, just in case I would get another useful skill.

I told the Uber driver to return to the car and drive me towards my destination. I wanted to wrap up this meeting quickly so I could head home, maybe even try summoning a smaller version of Aegis in the basement.

Along the way, I saw the city lights passing through me in a blur.

'Not having my own training room is a real bummer. Maybe I should speed up my plan to get my own building,' I thought to myself as I stared out at the roads.

Seeing all those skyscrapers, I couldn't help but imagine owning one in the future.

'Someone is following me?' I thought to myself as my crow sent a warning signal.

I'd been on high alert since the get-go, and sure enough, I spotted a car tailing me. I directed the driver through a maze of turns, but no surprises—the car was still doggedly on my tail.

'Who is following me?' I mused to myself as I tried to figure out my next actions. I'd been careful all this time, so I was puzzled about who could be tailing me.

Using my Mind Link, I ask my crow to fly closer to the car , so I could see the people inside.

'A girl?' I mused as I saw a petite woman with violet hair wearing headphones, casually licking a lollipop in the backseat.

Suddenly, the girl looked out the window, and then she did something I did not expect.

"Hello, Oppa ," she spoke. There were no sounds from the car because of the distance, but I could tell her words just by reading her lips. This girl could actually see through me, like Alice.

Another person the system couldn't identify. Well, that's just great.

"How about you stop the car so we could talk?" The girl spoke again. This time , it wasn't a normal sound but rather directly conveyed through the crow mind.

At this point, I was prepared to unleash all my deadly skills and confront her. This girl was far from ordinary, and I don't want to take my chances. However, the uncertainty of not knowing how strong she was made me hesitate a little.

It's not like I was afraid of her. Being smart just made me think of the worst possible scenarios.

"Should I attack first, or should I hear her out?" I wondered, torn between the two options.
