The Cheat Seed

Chapter 100: The Hidden Files: The Answer To All Plot Holes - 2

On the very center of the screen was a familiar 'Play' button.

Marcus, without any hesitation, clicked on the button.

*Pant* *Pant*

It was a movie... It looked like one.

What played before Marcus was someone panting heavily while walking through the familiar dungeon of the nine tails. But the viewpoint in which it was exhibited was, oddly, in the first person.

The experience, for him, felt like he was dwelling inside the movie.

Just like Virtual Reality!!.

And with the 8D sound ringing inside his ears, it was ultra realistic.

The man, who could be probably Marcus as he thought, was walking through the woods.

Suddenly, the bushes beside him started crinkling. Marcus watched as the man on the screen tried to start running.

....

And his eyes shot open at the gore, the vision emanated...

....

The man, just as he tried to run, his legs erupted. The screen was filled with blood. Blood from the man's legs had burst open and the legs no more existed.

Marcus grabbed his head and squeezed it... It was as if his head would blow from the excruciating pain which radiated from the screen to his body.

The man inside the screen had his legs burst open... but how?.

The pain was killing Marcus while he clenched his teeth, trying to ameliorate it as much as possible. He lifted his right hand, which was the free one, and clicked on the button which said.

'Change Perspective'

*Click*

The pain died down as he clicked on the button, Marcus breathed in a huge sigh of relief as he straightened his vision back to the screen.

The movie, once again, had begun playing, but this time just as he thought, the viewpoint had altered.

It had shifted from the first person to a whole new third person view perspective. To Marcus, the perspective change was expected, but the scenes weren't at all.

Marcus' eyes widened as his eyes met the scenes yet again, but this time with much detail.

He watched as the man... No! The Boy... which was just like Marcus thought... was HIM!!, his younger self.

Marcus watched his previous self as he walked through the jumbled wilderness.

He watched as the bush beside the boy rustled.

And he watched and gasped when he saw the boy's attempt at a run.

Marcus couldn't speculate what he saw. What he saw was not at all what he had expected he would see.

Even though some similar ideas of the vision had run before inside his train of thoughts... he never had given attention to it at all, until he saw the analogous vision unfold before him.

The excruciating pain eventually exploded again into his body as he gawked at the boy on the screen.

But it was under the radar of expectations for Marcus.

He now knew why the boy's legs had burst open.

It was not because he was attacked.

It transpired because... he was simply, not able to control his insane power.

The boy on the screen, who had just got his 'Centillion Speed' had tried to use it the first time, which caused his inexperienced legs to burst open because of the intense power.

The screen dulled as Marcus closed his eyes.

Now he comprehended what his second trauma was.

It was seemingly, the ineptitude to handle his Creator bestowed powers.

But that wasn't the only lesson he learned.

"So that's what happened... I understand. Yes, I do. I now know how destructive my powers could be... Not only for others but for me as well. Haha... So control is what I lack."

*Break*

*Break*

*Fall*

*Rustle*

"You are back again Marcus?. That was quick"

The demon's enunciation found Marcus.

"Yea Yea... It was quick... But it hurt a lot more than the previous one did."

Marcus replied, rubbing his dust off from his red hair. He was on the grassy patched ground when he woke up.

Marcus blinked his eyes several times before looking around. He was still in the second dungeon, but he was sure that he had just overcome the second trauma.

To ensure that, he sat up and looked down at his torso.

And it happened just like he expected.

The second chain as well... had freed him from the grasp and had ceased to function.

Marcus tried to pull his left arm from the chain, but it was still impossible. But the weight which was towing him down had drastically decreased along with his stress.

His body felt light as a feather and in his heart was this feeling which guaranteed him that he could do anything he wanted, even if it was ridiculous or unimaginable.

*Thud*

"Seriously?? What's wrong with you?. Why do you keep on trying, even when you know I'll block it?"

Marcus asked as he clamped the demon's feet in his grasp.

"Nothing's wrong with trying"

The demon chuckled.

"It's also so that I can keep you in check... You particularly have this bad habit of spacing out every minute or so..."

The demon said pulling his leg back to the ground.

"So as your beloved inner demon... kekeke... which I am, I can only do just this much for you"

The demon laughed. He put his hand forward and gestured to Marcus to grab onto it so he could get up from the dirt floor.

Marcus perched his eyebrows at the demon and thought for a second.

"Nah... I can stand on my own"

Marcus said. And with a roll on his back, he pushed his hands to do a magnificent and a smooth kip up, landing his feet perfectly angled on the dirt floor.

"Besides I knew you were planning something funny, so yeah it'll be better to say No thanks"

Marcus said as he walked back towards the woods.

"How do you always find out what I was going to do??..."

The demon raised his hands with a smile.

"I mean, did you forget that you lost your powers? But still, even though you are just a human without any power or so, how are you nimble enough to anticipate everything that I am going to do?"

The demon chuckled as he asked him before following Marcus into the woods.

Marcus whirled to look at the demon, who was now walking towards him to catch up.

"I don't know..."

Marcus smiled as he paused his words.

"It could be because I lived with you for 18 years? Kekek"

Marcus's laugh made the demon grin at himself.

The demon was now pretty sure.

That the Marcus G Orno in front of him... was no more the Marcus G Orno he knew.

"But where are you going?"

The demon inquired as he finally caught up with Marcus who was walking into the woods.

"Ah... It somehow didn't appear in my inventory."

Marcus said.

"Inventory?... But how did you know about that?"

The demon asked, he was genuinely surprised.

"Ah... I am not an idiot. I figured it out just now. Just because my powers were taken away didn't mean my system was as well. Because you are alive and standing right now aren't you..."

Marcus said.

It was true. The demon smirked. Just because the powers of the user were taken away, it didn't mean the user couldn't use the system. The system had integrated with his body, which made it possible to use the system unless or until it is destroyed.

"Which means I can use my system for casual purposes as well. And look what I found in my inventory"

Marcus grinned as he showed his inventory to the demon.

The demon's eyes gleamed as he looked at the inventory and laughed.

"No way!! KEKEKEKEK"
