Skill Overdose

Present time

DING!

Liam is beginning to fall asleep but as soon as he heard the familiar notification chime in his mind and immediately got up again and sat cross-legged on top of his bed. He thought that the unimaginable pain is coming to get him again so he prepared for the worst to come. But...

"Shit! What prepared!? I don't have any preparation for this! I thought the headache part is over!? " While Liam is panicking... suddenly.

SHRNG!

A game-like window is floating in the air in front of him once again.

『 The prerequisite condition [20 years of age] has been met. 』

『 The host will be have a five new skills that will be imparted by the system. 』

『 The system detected a problem that will befall on the health of the host. 』

『 The skill [Immunity] is activated. 』

『 A severe migraine, cl.u.s.ter, sinus, and tension has been completely depleted because of the skill [Immunity]'s effect. 』

"HAHAHA! I really love you, my beautiful system." Liam is happily waiting for the five new skills that will be imparted to him by the system to appear in front of his eyes. He is trembling in excitement. He is so eager to know if the skills he will get this time is better than the ones he got for the last past five years.

A while later...

DING!

A notification chime rang in Liam's mind.

『 The 1st skill that has been given to you is [Appraisal I]. The skill [Appraisal] can see through one's statistics/attributes. The skill has been learned. 』

"Eh!? Statistics? Is this system really based upon an RPG's levelling system? Am I a player? Or am I a character getting played by a player from the other dimension or something?" Liam is asking something on himself jokingly.

DING!

『 The 2nd skill that has been given to you is [Mental Boost]. The skill [Mental Boost] can increases the intelligence of a person for a period of time. The skill has been learned. 』

"Intelligence? Like a knowledge? Or intellect? Oh! Is it some kind of mental powers? Please answer my questions Project X's system? Hmm? Project... X?" Liam tried to recall something about the name "Project X" but it got cutted as soon as he heard the notification chime again.

『 The 3rd skill that has been given to you is [???????]. The skill [???????] cannot be used until the host met the prerequisite condition. 』

"What the!? What is the skill? What is the condition then? Why do I need to meet this condition eh? Is the condition a hard one? Well I'm pretty sure that this is gonna be an awesome skill."

Liam said out loud. He was shocked that a system's skill will have a condition just to learn it. He really thought that the system is kind to him. He was irritated because of thinking something so hard.

DING!

『 The 4th skill that has been given to you is [Perceptiveness]. The skill [Perceptiveness] is a buff that increases a person's perception and his/her reflexes. The skill has been learned. 』

"Damn! Lucky me! This a great skill. Is this activated all the time? Or nah." Liam jumped in surprise after seeing the fourth skill.

'I can't wait to know the last skill?'

DING!

『 The last skill that has been given to you is [Hyperthymesia]. The skill [Hyperthymesia] lets a person recall all the memories of his/her life vividly. 』

"What is this?" Liam said as he continued to read it until the end... but suddenly.

All his memories is now coming into his present mind back-and-forth.

The Hyperthymesia Liam got is not just a syndrome that scientist said it to be, Liam's hyperthymesia is buffed by the Project-X's system that lets one remember his whole life so vivid as if it just happened a minute ago.

Liam can remember the name, gender, skin color, clothes, and the face of every person that he met in the past. He can remember what he wrote, draw, sang, and everything he did in his whole life.

He can remember the feelings he got, the emotion he felt, the physical contact he did from everyone in the past.

He can remember everything clearly.

Liam recalled all his memories since he was a 3 year old kid until today.

He remembered all the best and worst things that happened in his life without his own will.

The memories of Liam's life kept spinning around in his mind.

"What the sh-..." Liam tried to say something but the memories of his life keeps moving around through his mind and disturbing the thoughts of Liam.

Liam then clearly remembered the time when his mother and father took him out in the park and then he remembered the time when he cried for a long time in his Mother and Father's funeral.

Liam remembered that painful day like watching a video in a slow-motion.

He remembered the day when he saw his father's body on the alley's floor lifeless.

He remembered the day when his mother is being shot by an unkown man.

Liam felt like crying after recalling the day six years ago but he held it inside.

He held all the sorrow, the anger, and the vengefulness inside.

He kept all the harsh feelings inside him and vowed to himself that he will released it to the three man and their organization that killed his family.

Liam decided in his mind that he would use every one of his skill to trample and beat those sons of bitches with a vengeful plan that he came up with.

"Ah shit! Plan my foot! Did I just vowed? I'm just a freshman. How am I suppose to destroy a whole organization eh? I don't even have a godly skill . Hey system! Where is the OP skill that I wanted!? Please just give me a martial art special ultra ultimate skill or something like that!" Liam complained his system to the system itself for a while but suddenly, something showed up in front of him.

"Damn! Stat window!" Liam is surprised of the stat window that appeared in front of him.

"HAHAHAHA! This is what I wanted!" Liam excitingly read all the things written in the stat window with a big smile forming on his face. "Woah! There's also this attributes."

He was really pleased that he got this godly system.

'Hm? So that is why I always feel strange when something bad is happening probably because my perception is too damn high! I got so many skill too! Isn't this kind of cheating? But I'm definitely fine with that.'

Liam tried to checked the skill menu by touching it.

'Eh? I can't touch it? Then how can I see the menu? Why do I feel like this system is copying another system from a novel or something?'

Liam thought of something to see the skill menu and started saying something.

"Open sesame!"

"Open skill menu!"

"Open parenthesis!"

"Open menu!"

"Open skill!"

"Skill menu!

SHNG!

"Oh! It really works!"

"Damn this is amazing! You're so awesome system! But... where and how could I test my skills?" While Liam is thinking where to test his skills a sound can be heard coming from the downstairs.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Liam heard the knock and because of his high perception and he felt a bad feeling coming from the other side of the door.

He hurriedly ran in the downstairs and quickly grabbed a kitchen knife.

"I guess my perception is good eh? Athletic." Liam activated the Athletic skill as it also increased the accuracy of hitting someone or something in a melee combat.

He walked slowly near the door. His expression is serious while his left hand is clutching and slowly twisting the doorknob and his right hand is holding the knife.

Liam is holding the knife in a reverse grip.

His stance is akin to an assasin preparing to slice someone in the neck.

As Liam opened the door, his right hand is now moving forward at an incredible speed but as soon as he saw the person's face that his trying to stab, his hand came to a halt.

He quickly pulled the knife behind his back which almost sliced the guy's neck.

"Why the the f*ck are you doing here in the middle of the night Ian!"

"What the fu- YOU ALMOST KILLED ME! HOLY SHIT! LIAM, WHAT THE F*CK!"
