[Support the work by adding to library and donating stones, golden tickets, and gifts. privilege is also available.] [Book really shines after the 50th chapter, so stick with it, you’ll love it, I promise!] Orphaned from birth, I lived a lonely and tough life, only finding solace in a novel I read. I was lonely so I enjoyed the hero’s friendships. I was weak so I enjoyed the hero’s strength. I was poor so I enjoyed the hero’s wealth. I lived through the hero’s eyes and was content… But in the end my bleak life pushed me to a depressing death on my desk. ….. Thankfully, while my soul was going through an unknown space, fate had other plans. A dying god’s last words granted me a second life in the novel I had lived vicariously through. This time I will not be weak, this time I will not be lonely, and this time I will find others to love!. Armed with the system, i’ll see the ending with my own eyes!

[Quest: Maybe the system's eye can reveal more about your father's injury.]

I looked towards my father. Though I once again sensed the steering nature of the system, I still went along.

"Really? System Eye!"

[Target Detected! Would you like to show the target's Information?]

"Yes."

A panel like the one that showed my status appeared but on it was my father's name:

NAME: Johnathan Fellsword(Host's Father)

AGE:48

SWORDSMANSHIP(Damaged): Pseudo-Sword Saint-Rank.

STATS:

Physical-1200(Severely limited due to Injury)

Metaphysical-1050(mostly blocked due to injury)

Injury: Intertwining Veins due to a dull sword wound (Requires either complicated surgery completely sacrificing the Aura Core or mastery of pressure points along with precise manipulation of Mana to cure.)

I could not be happier as medical information flowed into my mind. The effect of the passive [Healing Knowledge].

"I can cure him!"

I quickly got closer to my father.

He looked towards me with a slight embarrassment and shame in his eyes not knowing what to say.

"*Sigh* Just leave it to me, son," he said with a lowered head.

I didn't hide anything and just said it clearly.

"Can you defeat him if you weren't injured, father?"

He looked confused.

"What a strange question, but yes it wouldn't have taken me more than 10 moves before I was injured." He answered hesitantly.

"Do you trust me, father?"

"Uh…of course I do son but why?"

"Then please lay down on the table," I said.

My mother didn't know what to say.

"What?" He asked.

"Please just trust me, father."

My father sighed and laid his back on the table.

"I'll trust no matter what you do, but if it's about the injury, I've already visited famed doctors and they said nothing could be done without completely destroying my Aura Core. This little bit of power I have left is better than nothing."

"Just trust me! Maids!"

"Yes, young master?" A maid answered.

"Bring me some needles, the more the better."

"Yes, young master-"

The man named Julius appeared from thin air.

"Will these do, young master?" Julius asked as he handed me a pouch filled with thin needles.

"Ah, yes these will work," I said.

"Grit your teeth, Father."

"Son?"

Suddenly the knowledge within my mind took hold of my body. First, it released my Mana and covered the needles to the point they were glowing like a light bulb and then it began precisely striking them into my father's pressure points.

"Ugh!!!" My father shouted.

The man named Julius almost grabbed my hand but stopped himself.

My mother was worried.

"You're hurting your father, Cassian! Do you know what you're doing?"

"Just trust me, mother!"

My father began exclaiming out in pain and coughing out black blood as I continued stabbing into his pressure/acupuncture points with incredible accuracy and focused force due to the Mana. My mother held herself back as she teared up, my father's pained voice was unbearable for her.

This would go on for two long hours.

2 HOURS LATER.

My body was exhausted and my Mana was about to run out but my father had long stopped exclaiming in pain and coughing.

"Now to revitalize the Aura passageways!"

Suddenly the bright translucent Mana on my fingertips turned into a rough and chaotic silver energy that the skill injected into my father's pressure points with incredible speed. My Enhanced Aura went in like a flood and began to feed the passageways, like heavy rain in a desert.

My father started exclaiming in pain again.

"Agahgghhhg!!!"

"Now, Father! release all of your aura!!"

My father coughed out a bucket full of dark purple blood(?) and his body released a loud explosive sound as a shockwave of thick, silver energy was released into the room pushing everything and everyone away.

"Ughh!!" my father grunted in pain.

Both me and mother were about to crash into the walls but suddenly a hand touched my back before I could use my own power to stop.

"Got you." a voice said.

It was my father and he had caught both of us out of different directions in an instant.

"Dear! You're using Aura!" my mother said.

My father's body had a faint moonlight silver glow to it and his face and pitch-black hair moved with passion once again.

"You're cured, father!" I shouted.

My father laughed loudly as if he had been holding it in.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I don't know how you did it, Cassian but I'm glad I trusted you! This father of yours I unworthy of such a good son!" he shouted as loudly as he could as if a weight had left his shoulders.

My mother hugged me.

"Son, you never stop amazing your mother! I'm sorry for doubting you!" she said.

Suddenly, the black-haired man reappeared and bowed to me.

"Your injury's finally cured, my Lord!"

"Yes, Julius, I guess we'll be training together once again!" my father said with a refreshed face of joy.

"Indeed, it'll be like the good old days!" Julius said.

"My veins have returned to normal and my Aura is moving faster and smoother than before! With some training, I should be able to regain my previous power and even step into the Sword Saint Rank!"

"That's good to hear, father!"

My Mother teared up.

"It's finally done, dear, this shadow that has covered your heart."

As they hugged I snuck away to the front yard.

"So I have to go to the town? I can't avoid it any longer.."

My parents were still celebrating so, I put on some plain clothes and leaped over the estate's wall for the first time.

"This is?" I said as my eyes widened in disbelief.
