[Mysticism]

Intuition.

As a scientific researcher, it is necessary to provide rigorous scientific proofs for various phenomena, forming conclusions through combined empirical observations and foundational theories.

Yet “intuition,” a seemingly ethereal sensation, is equally as important. free(w)ebnovel(.)com

Especially when undertaking a new topic with little global research, and unable to find the right entry point, intuition is needed to open the first path.

In Han Dong’s view, intuition is not unfounded.

Rather, it’s the result of a non-conscious, rapid calculation performed by the brain with all available information, including fragmented memories at a subconscious level.

Often, the smarter one is and the more abundant experience and knowledge accumulated, the more accurate the intuition.

When he looked at the fifth door, Han Dong followed his intuition and slowly approached it.

“Western mysticism… in my original world, with the publication of Copernicus’ ‘On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres’ and the suggestion of blood circulation theory, this subject was closed in the mainstream world.

But in this world filled with magic elements and various supernatural abilities, [Mysticism] naturally exists.

Ancient mystic scholars tended to be generalists studying mathematics, alchemy, religious theories, herbal medicine, astrology, and magical symbols. They were the “scientists” of their era.

Indeed… as a specialist in cellular biology, mysticism might be a better fit for me.

Moreover, the head that I picked up in the prison probably cannot be explained from a magical perspective. It can only be answered in mysticism.”

Han Dong also took out the “Plague Doctor’s Short Blade,” a Fate Item he had obtained during this incident.

“To play out the real power of this item, you also need to study [Mysticism]…

coincidence? Or is it destined?”

There isn’t a time limit to allocate Fate Points. Han Dong gave himself half an hour to consider comprehensively before finally deciding to open the black wood door symbolizing Mysticism.

Unlike Han Dong’s imagination, the inside was not a bizarre room filled with mystical items but a small, gloomy, enclosed compartment.

A bronze chair integrated with various intricate instruments (syringe, catheter, metal headdress) was established in the center of the room.

It seemed that the only option was to ‘sit down.’

“[Fate Points] Remaining 2 points, do you want to use them all?

Note: Allocate at least 5 Fate Points to finalize your main profession and subsequent Talent Tree branches will appear. Before reaching five points, it is recommended to invest all existing Fate Points into it.”

Since it was said so, what option does Han Dong have?

According to the information he got so far, the journey of fate had just begun.

Although Han Dong completed the first incident in an almost perfect way, there were still many roads to be taken in the future.

Until he finalizes his profession, Han Dong is undoubtedly still a novice level, although he is definitely in a higher position than those who have not entered the Fate Space yet.

Sigh…

He takes a deep breath.

He chooses to distribute points.

Click, click, click!

The locking device on the bronze chair immediately locks Han Dong’s entire body. More than ten syringes precisely connect to Han Dong’s veins through catheters, and a special syringe punctures the neck from the back.

Pain is inevitable.

For Han Dong, who had endured the torment of cancer, he could hold on.

With the injection of an unknown solvent, Han Dong could clearly perceive that his body was undergoing changes. Specifically, it should be that his head was changing.

About half an hour passed.

The injection process ended.

Han Dong’s weak body did not change, but…

Squeaking (sound of soft and greasy friction)-

A tentacle with spots appeared from the palm of his hand. This is Han Dong’s subjective behavior… this time the use of tentacles will not cause weakness anymore. It rather gives a sense of control.

It is clear.

Investing 2 Fate Points into [Mysticism] has made Han Dong more skilled in controlling the ‘Faceless Skull’. His entire brain has an unprecedented refreshing sensation.

He even vaguely felt a strange energy in his brain that he could manipulate, but Han Dong couldn’t find a way to use this power yet.

Obviously, Han Dong’s intuition and choice were correct.

Mysticism is related to the Faceless Skull…

“Going on like this, maybe the ‘Faceless Skull’ can be upgraded? Once the prison can be upgraded, it can accommodate more special lives!!”

The usually reserved Han Dong showed an excited smile at this moment.

Not just excited about gaining superhuman power, but also finding a way to upgrade his head… Once the prison expands, it can accommodate other special lives, which will all become Han Dong’s personal power.

At this moment.

A prompt sound came from the Fate Space:

“Fate points have been allocated, you have become a [Mysticism Apprentice]. If you continue to allocate 3 more points in this primary profession, you will thoroughly solidify your foundation and open the ‘Mysticism Talent Tree’.

Next time you enter the Fate Space, it is suggested to form a team with equals

(apprentices who have not opened the Talent Tree).”

“Mysticism Apprentice… when I return to the Holy City, I hope there is a related organization that can accept me so I can study relevant techniques of Mysticism.

Before I fully understand the origin of the ‘Faceless Skull’, I must not use it in front of others.

Just as Han Dong was immersed in joy, the iron chair in the room unexpectedly transformed into a crystal round table.

“When did this happen!?”

Han Dong hadn’t noticed this change at all.

“Please choose a Fate Card (novice level), revealing the card will give the corresponding reward.”

Right.

Han Dong snaps out of his excitement and remembers he still has a reward left to claim.

The Fate Card, which initially had a small chance of being obtained, had a 10% increased chance after paralleling line plot… but still not high. Unexpectedly, it showed up when receiving the reward.

Luck is also part of strength.

On the crystal table, four golden cards with completely identical backs were placed at equal intervals.

“Just draw one randomly… cheating in this kind of place is really seeking death. ”

Han Dong habitually chose the one on his left hand side.

When he touched the card, the other three cards immediately disappeared. The card he held in his hand had a Holy Grail pattern on it… and then, a miracle happened.

Accompanied by a flash of golden light, the card disappeared, replaced by a tangible Holy Grail holding a clear liquid.

“Fate Card (Holy Grail): After drinking, it can enhance one basic ability.”

The individual has not learned the basic ability of [Mysticism], so it is currently ineffective to drink.

The Holy Grail is a beginner level booster and is ineffective for the ‘Tentacle Class (Advanced) ability that the subject possesses.

Note: The Holy Grail is good for one day, please use it as soon as possible.”

“This… is a bit tricky!”

Han Dong didn’t believe he could join a mystic organization in the Holy City and learn a basic skill in one day.

Immediately changing his thoughts, Han Dong took the Holy Grail back to the prison area and gave it to the only thing in the prison – [Possessed Chen Li]..
