Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 350 Cosmetic Body! (2)

(A/N: Bonus Chapter).

[‘Flesh It Like You Mean It’ has evolved into ‘High Cosmetic Body’]

[Your body is currently going through reconstruction and grand augmentation]

[Please be patient…]

These were the first notifications that Skullius received as his body started to float.

Within him, he felt changes that raced through his entire being, giving him a… vague feeling of familiarity.

Soon after, Skullius’ ballooned flesh began to deflate, twisting and coiling as it shrunk down to a smaller size.

[Your new cosmetic body is nearing completion!]

[You have gained the bodily function, ‘Sensation.’ You can now perceive contact, temperature and your odd surroundings]

FLSSSSHHHH!

Skullius’ body downsized to form a slightly taller version of his earlier self that still didn’t have a face or hair but a slightly darker skin tone.

On his body that had been a plain blob, wriggling movements began to occur as it started to gain contours and marks that depicted which part of the cosmetic body they were amidst the flurry of notifications.

[You have gained <STEEL BONE FRAME>!]

[You have gained <HEART>!]

[You have gained <RUSH BLOOD>!]

[The formation of a blood network in your cosmetic body has been completed. Your <HEART> begins to pump <RUSH BLOOD> into your blood network!]

[Generation of <HYPE BLOOD CELLS> begins…]

Skullius felt something burst within him like a river!

No.

It was like hundreds of little rivers flowing in different directions in his body!

They all seemed to connect to something in his chest, to the left.

THRUM!

THRUM!

THUMP!

Mana surged towards Skullius’ chest as he felt something start to beat with a powerful rhythm that actually reverberated through everything within his cosmetic body!

The new blood vessels!

The new sturdy forming flesh!

Everything shook with the beat of this <HEART> including the just formed steady bone frame that was in no way like that of a regular human!

Skullius felt everything within him react to this powerful organ in the best possible way!

[Your <HEART> strikes with the energy of forced life!]

[+50 to all stats]

[Generation of <HYPE BLOOD CELLS> completed!]

[The natural skill ‘HYPED’ has been awakened!]

Over Skullius’ cosmetic body, a magnificent face appeared, fitted with his signature silver eyes.

Highlighted skin appeared over his cheeks with thin lips and a roman nose making for a handsome, distinct visage.

Light auburn hair grew over his head like silky strings, stretching over past his shoulders as Skullius then took in a breath, his chest rising as it clearly depicted his well-defined muscles of a slightly bulky figure that had a small increase in height.

The Discount Human sat down on the ground and looked at his body with a broad grin.

A cosmetic body.

One with perks that normal people wouldn’t enjoy.

This was… incredible.

Unlike before, Skullius felt the wind over the little hairs that had appeared over his body. The moisture and cold was apparent to him now as he felt it vividly.

Sensation.

His body was a bit sensitive now.

Such things he couldn’t detect… now he could.

However, did this mean he could feel pain now?

This thought process was cancelled out by the subsequent notifications that came into view however.

[A random skill from the ‘Fulgurant Bone Penetrator’ will now be selected for your permanent use in the ‘Discount Human’ form]

There it was!

Skullius had hoped levelling up [Flesh It Like You Mean It] would eventually lead to this and fortunately, he was right.

[Flesh It Like You Mean It] or now known as [High Cosmetic Body], seemed to intend to eventually bring together Skullius’ two selves!

What a profound development!

[The skill ‘Null Life Aura’ has been selected]

‘Heh, I thought as much,’ Skullius thought as he rubbed his chin with his fingers.

It was highly unlikely for him to receive a racial or class skill from the Penetrator.

Therefore, a general Null Life skill that he hadn’t used before had been selected!

Skullius smiled.

The skill evolution had ended and the results were magnificent.

They exceeded his expectations.

He touched his chest and felt the <HEART> pulsing, the <RUSH BLOOD> racing within his body as a result.

He had also received a skill from this whole phenomenon.

The skill [HYPED].

As Skullius was about to look up the details of the skill, he felt the wind blow somewhere on his body.

Somewhere peculiar.

Somewhere in the middle.

The Discount Human set his eyes below to look and found…

‘What the flesh is that?’

An organ protruded from his body. One that he felt a great sense of familiarity and camaraderie towards but… he just couldn’t put his finger on what it truly was…

He poked it like a snake but it showed no reaction.

He rubbed it but it still it not move.

He strangled it but… nothing.

As a bi-product of his actions, he found that he was still incapable of feeling pain as after trying all sorts of shenaniganry over this… third leg, nothing registered in his body.

‘Guess we’ll see what it does later on,’ Skullius thought as he returned to the task of checking out the skill [HYPED].

~~~

[HYPED | Lv. None]

When the user feels extremely excited, the <HYPE BLOOD CELLS> will supercharge to produce a stream of artificial adrenaline that will jolt the cosmetic body into a hyper state of activity where the user will process all things at ten times their current ability.

Mana Requirement: None

Duration: None.

Cooldown: None

~~~

“Hmmm…” Skullius pondered.

A skill without mana requirements, duration or a cooldown.

“Allows me to process all things faster, huh? Does this mean I’ll also learn things faster?”

Such a peculiar ability.

The terminology used didn’t exactly make it easier for Skullius to comprehend what exactly the skill did.

It seemed powerful though, given the right circumstances. Skullius would eventually know what it could really do so he didn’t try to ponder over it some more.

Instead, he turned to [Null Life Aura].

~~~

[Null Life Aura | Lv.2]

An expansive influence of the user anchored on their chosen affinity. It bears a Serene but potent effect on enemies and the user.

<Affinity : None>

-Effect-

None

~~~

Skullius kept looking at this skill’s description.

This was the second time he had checked it and this time wasn’t different from the last.

‘I still can’t figure out how it works. Maybe it needs Null Life stuff to work? But wouldn’t that make it useless when I’m in my Discount Human form?’ he thought.

The Discount Human sighed and also put thoughts about this skill away.

All in all, this was an exceedingly good experience.

Skullius put on some new clothes before he finished absorbing the spots of energy from the Enriching gems until for both types of gems, he had reached his limit.

The effects firmly settled as they left the Discount Human feeling as powerful as ever.

“Now. Let’s see what’s under there, shall we?” Skullius said as he rose and walked up to the shore preceding the vast sea ahead.

The vibrant waters awaited as they seemed to hide something that Skullius could vaguely see even from here.

An image was constantly obscured by the ripples above the face of the water from the winds.

Something large nested below these waters and as the new owner of the Elimparidis Stone Staff, Skullius needed to investigate.

This was a home of his now wasn’t it?

He had to know every nook and cranny of it.

“How about one last adventure before you start your training, Red bro?” he turned to the Pelvis-Boar-Man and asked.
