Transmigration of Sage 1 - 03 Mention that earlier

As soon as his greetings faded, a guy who looked like a street boy walked up to him until nose to nose , tilted his head and said with a fierce glare: "Who do you think you are?" Who said you may speak to the Dragon Emperor?"

Gunther Fett glanced at a person next to the ‘Dragon Emperor’, who was holding a scraper in his hand muttering: "Where are watermelons? How can one find a watermelon here?". And not far from him, a shy girl waved to Gunther Fett, saying, "Hello big bro...me...me...is...". And next to her was a greasy guy with a horny look pestering her and asking: "How about a drink with the awesome dude, cutie pie?"

He sighed inside his mind: "It IS them!"

For a while, he couldn't decide how to respond, but due to certain private concerns, he decided not to interact with them at the moment. So he lowered his eyes and slowly pulled back. Seeing this, the Dragon Emperor snorted and said, "Beat it!"

After the Dragon Emperor walked away, Gunther Fett’s attention was attracted by the large and small balls of light around him, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch a small white bright spot in front of him.

Just when there was a mild touch on the tip of his finger, a message immediately appeared in his mind: " Rush (I): Extract energy from soul for the body to enhance speed by 1.5 times."

He thought: "Just like the goddess said, these points of light are the so-called 'GIFT', and one can know the approximate content by touching the points of light."

So Gunther Fett checked all the nearby light spots, then realized that the large bright balls of light did carry better effects, such as: 'Rush (X): Extract energy from soul for the body to enhance speed by 6.0 times.' It's much more powerful than Rush (I) which he inspected earlier.

Gunther Fett soon concluded: "In that case, I need to check those large, bright balls of light only."

So he began to move, clockwise outward to exam large light spots, while observing others out of the corner of his eye. He found that some people began to touch the light dots just like him, some were looking for watermelons, some were shyly following him, and some were slightly flustered and overwhelmed by the situation; Some are calm as ever, and look around in peace. Someone hid away with hands reached into his pants and Gunther Fett decided not to care what he was doing. The Dragon Emperor was shouting while punching the light spots with his fists.

After investigating many huge white bright spots, Gunther Fett looked curiously at a ball of light glowing with a strange red light and couldn't help but reach out to touch it. As a feeling of numbness appeared on his fingertips along with a message in his mind: "Breath (II): Extract energy from soul to enchant gas with special properties and breathe it out through the mouthparts. The properties vary depending on the type of 'monster'. The conversion efficiency is 20 percent."

Gunther Fett thought, "Based on the content, it really is NOT a skill for humans."

Despite this, Gunther Fett continued to carefully investigate them one by one out of curiosity, until his hands trembled uncontrollably when he touched a huge red ball of light.

“Soul Domination (X): Possessors of this skill can dominate other consciousnesses in the body and share the perception and abilities of other consciousnesses."

All the sufferings since he could remember and the obstacles he had encountered when he wanted to ask for help suddenly emerged in his mind, making he held that red point of light and pressed it into his chest immediately. After the ball of red light disappeared, all the noises such as “watermelon~~~”, “big bro~~~”, “hot chicks~~” stopped right away.

Gunther Fett looked around. All sixteen people who had been minding their own business stood upright like well-trained soldiers, looking at him as if waiting for him to give orders. This made him believed that he had made the right choice, and he would never have to suffer the same misfortune again in the next life.

If one can not be himself, what good will strength and power do? His talent and family condition in the previous life could be counted as blessed, but instead of a happy ending, he was cornered and desperate, and finally decided to let himself killed. This was a lesson learned with blood.

He closed his eyes and stood still, enjoying the feeling of control. When he opened his eyes again, he noticed that although the others were still standing quietly, most of them vaguely revealed uncertainty and doubt, seeming asking "What happened?"

He felt a little bit sorry for them, but still made up his mind with resolute: “This time, I will conduct as my own will. You can not disturb me anymore!”

A few moments later, there were still nothing happened, and someone asked: “My lord, may we move around freely?”

Gunther Fett wondered: “What’s next? Based on what the goddess just said, shouldn’t I be reincarnated now since I have chosen a GIFT?”

Uncomfortable being stared by sixteen pairs of eyes , he said unsurely: "Ahem, e...everyone takes easy, do...do what you want to do."

After everyone scattered away, Gunther Fett sat down and pondered: "As far as I remember, I seem to be recognized as dying tragically for seventeen times, and such brutal death warrants a GIFT... Could it be that all of these guys were judged to have died tragically as well, so they can and must get GIFTs before I...we can be reborn?"

Recalling the screams that echoed in his ears during the previous crucifixion, he thought of this assumption. In order to test the hypothesis, Gunther Fett said to the Dragon Emperor, "Go and get the GIFT Rush (X)."

He pointed his finger at a huge ball of light he had inspected earlier, and the Dragon Emperor went over and pressed the ball of light into his chest right away.

Seeing that the Dragon Emperor had successfully obtained the ‘Rush (X)’, he confirmed that all personalities could obtain a GIFT, so he ordered: "Please go and investigate all the large balls of light."

Someone asked: “Even the red ones?”

Gunther Fett replied without hesitation, "Yes, red ones too."

Although the number of light spots was vast, the workload was shared by seventeen people, and Gunther Fett could integrate their perception through the GIFT Soul Domination, so it only took a while to complete the mission.

Because of the multiple personalities, Gunther Fett had faced various dangers and dilemmas that were overwhelming for ordinary people, and it had been too many time that he prayed sincerely for some sort of 'special abilities' to help him get out of trouble. It was just like ordering the dishes he'd always wanted to eat from the menu, and it didn’t take long for him to pick out eight GIFTs that he thought to be most useful.

Another important issue was that in the second phase of the experiment, Dr. John and Dr. Richard had implanted all knowledge at the high school level into his brain. It’s very beneficial for someone with wit and without adequate education. From the data entered in the fourth phase, it is not difficult to realize that Dr. John and Dr. Richard intended to develop this technology for military use, because most of the content is related to combat technology, weapon operation, emergency medical treatment, and so on. Although Gunther Fett only absorbed a small part of the content before death, the knowledge and technology made Gunther Fett thought GIFTs like 'Kung Fu' or 'First Aid' were not necessary.

For the rest seven open slots, he asked other characters to make suggestions. After removing candidates which were obviously proposed due to personal desire such as ‘Boner’ and ‘Peeling’, he finally got all seventeen GIFTs.

When the last GIFT was acquired by the shy girl, all remaining light dots disappeared suddenly and the voice of the blonde goddess sounded, "So soon? Haven't you taken the time to exam all the GIFTs before you choose? Anyway, you can't change it now. Go for your next life..."

“...Right, I forgot to tell you. Although the time seems still related to worlds, you soul would return to its original status when you are here. The longer you stay, it would be more like one of an infant. You made up your mind quite quickly, so you will probably appear as a two to five years old child at the start of your next life... Wait! Why your soul has only been restored just a little bit? In that case, you will be merely slightly younger, and keep most of your memories after reincarnation!”

“Any how, a final reminder: the stronger the GIFT you have, the more challenging your life will be. If you obtained a GIFT of top level, you will most likely be reborn in a warzone, or even more dangerous places...”

As the words ended, the surroundings instantly turned dark, and Gunther Fett began to fall, and he couldn't help shouting: "YOU SHOULD MENTION THAT EARLIER ~~~~~"
