I saw my System and my eyes couldn't help but be glued to all the upgrades that I have received. It was too powerful… enough to give me goosebumps, before I completely read through everything one at a time.

Except the Stats, everything else was upgraded to a whole nother level. The Titles and the Skills specially turned really monstrous all of a sudden.

Calming my excitement down, I focused on the skill that I needed the most right now

[Advanced Time Manipulation (Level 1)

Effects: Allows the user to increase or decrease the time of a process by reducing the molecular activity by as much times as the user wants (max 200). Does not work on any macro movements

Cost: 0

Skill point needed to upgrade the Skill: 5]

I took a deep breath before using the skill at its max capacity on the kid and

'How long before he adapts to the zombified genes?'

[29 minutes 23 seconds]

A smile formed on my face before I sighed and turned to Caroline before speaking,"let's wait for 30 minutes. I think I am a bit tired."

She nodded and the old man too agreed that we should take a bit of rest before moving forward, so we walked in a nearby room and got settled in the living room there for a few moments before I turned at that old man and

[Inspect!]

My inspect was max level, and I thought about using that right now to check its effect

The status was a whole damn list that kept going down into minor details like his birthday and powers, etc. He had skills like knife mastery and other military related skills, which actually made me look at him with a dumbfounded gaze.

'Even with my System, I couldn't get the stats which he has achieved all by himself,' I thought before wondering what kind of monster he will become if he gets zombie genes. I then shook my head as he was looking too intently into me and turned to Caroline.

I sighed before looking at the rest of her Stats and then moving towards the kid in front of me.

I saw his Stats rising rapidly, however… This kid has been taking care of his sister and himself for over 3 years? Just how old is he… hmmm, according to his status, he turns 16 this year.

After this, I could only sigh as I looked at a few other things around using my Inspection. The details were much more precise and I could use it when I find something that I don't know about… overall it was a cheat code towards everything honestly…

After that, I rechecked the things that were upgraded within my System and soon enough; the timer came off, and I saw the kid waking up, making everyone look at him cautiously. He slowly scratched his head as he looked around with confusion before turning at that old man and then at his sister as he hurriedly moved towards them.

[Temporal Deceleration!]

With the newest ability, I could slow down time by 90% at 25TP per sec and with a total of 500 TP in my arsenal, I could use it for about 20 seconds in total.

I moved towards the old man and moved him away from the kid's path. Deactivating my ability, I saw the kid rushing through and

-BOOOM!! He hit the wall entering the next apartment, making everyone dumbfounded and panicked, including the kid himself. Though, I knew the reason behind it as…

I saw his race changing at the exact end of the timer to an E-Grade Zombified Human and his skills taking a leap once again… If I hadn't made a move fast enough, he might have killed both the old man and his sister with his newfound powers.

"Well, calm down first and I will explain everything," I spoke as I looked at him, turning at me with a really scared face. His eyes were shaken, and he had no idea what had just happened.

"Move slowly forward one step at a time," I calmly spoke, and he looked at me and then nodded before doing so. 'Good boy,' I thought with a smile before moving in front of him and speaking again,"sit down slowly on the floor."

He gulped before doing so, ever so slowly, and then turned at the old man who held his sister and I spoke,"she is okay. I saved her," and he finally relaxed a little before turning at me as his eyes urged me for answers.
