Hmm weird... It's like there were more zeros in the previous division. Wait a minute, I'll count again.

Exactly 76... very strange... but last time I had more than a hundred zeros. Or was it the time before that? Hahaha, no way.

No, no, no, no, no, no way. Was it the time before that?

"Sniff... Sniff... I made a mistake... Sniff... Now I have to start all over again."

"FUCK YOU, SYSTEM! I'LL CHASE YOU AND THE GOD WHO CREATED YOU TO HELL, YOU SON OF A BITCH! DO YOU THINK I'D BE A WEAK BEING WITHOUT THE UNLIMITED TECHNIQUE? AAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

When I managed to overcome my anger and gradually calm down, I decided to take a last desperate look at the other information about the limitless technique that had been engraved in my head.

I was about to read the second piece of information when I felt a small tingling sensation in my chest. After scratching my chest with my fingernails, I continued to focus on the information.

The first stack of information was already the same stack of information that told me to keep cutting one in half. Before I ignored this piece of information, I saw the warning at the end of the chunk of information saying that although it would be more efficient to do it from my mind, it is not recommended.

And I think the system is right about that. I was so angry when I discovered that I had made a mistake that now, even if I wanted to, I couldn't visualize the boards on which I had done those operations. If I had used real boards instead of my memory, at least I could have asked the genius downstairs for help.

After taking another deep breath and trying to forget what had just happened, I looked at the second and third stacks of information. Both stacks of information were full of warnings that gave me a headache. Warnings that told me to keep cutting in half until I destroyed 1 before looking at the last stack of information. The impossibility of such a thing reaffirmed my suspicion that the system was messing with me.

When it was time for the last stack of information, I felt a sudden itch on my nipples, but this time it was so uncomfortable that I would rather call it a tingle than an itch.

When I opened the last stack of information I saw that this stack of information really explained the use of the limitless technique. Information that taught me how to see space like a math operation. But to use it I need cursed energy first.

I had already confirmed that I didn't have cursed energy when I first took the limitless technique, so this information was useless.

As I let out a deep sigh, I felt an itch like a knife stabbing into my chest and broke my imagination by cursing out loud.

"He's awake. Get a stabilizer now, Jarvis."

"By stabilizers, sir, do you mean special handcuffs?"

"Yes, run!"

You don't know what it's like to close your eyes for a short while, to be lost in thought, and then to see a Howard standing over you with wires full of electricity, yelling at his errand boy. I didn't know that until now either.

"How do you feel, Michael?"

How do I feel? Curious as hell and like...

"Too bad, I want to commit suicide, I want to cry, I want to kill someone, I want to swallow a corpse without chewing. Did you do some weird experiment on me while I was sleeping, Howard? If so, consider yourself dead, or naked and floating in a mud filled with stones."

What the fuck is happening to me? I feel disgusting.

I was about to try to get out of bed and get rid of the blanket when I saw that my hands were covered in blue flames. A very familiar blue flame... like cursed energy. For some reason, I felt as if my whole body was filled with a jelly-like substance. I think the last time I had this feeling was when I had a filling in my tooth. It was as if my whole body was filled and I could hardly move.

As I became more confused, I forced myself to calm down even more and looked at my hand lifting the blanket. At the same time, Howard was standing next to me and looking at my hand, as curious as I was.

The blue flame on my hand slowly extinguished and then solidified, like a drop of molten silicon, and after a while, it crept across the floor of the room.

And before I could realize what had happened, the strange thing on the floor turned into a huge one-eyed monster.

Even though I didn't have time to make sense of what had happened, I didn't hesitate for a second to punch this monster.

As the flames in my punched hand started to burn again, the monster exploded strangely with my punch and turned into a pile of blood that sprayed all over Howard and me.
