10 10: Taboo Fighter

This time, he occupies a four-year-old body because the slime accidentally collided with a child and the child's brain became Caleb's vessel for thinking. The four-year-old child doesn't have a strong consciousness, so he was easily invaded by the slime that was carrying Caleb's 25-year-old consciousness. If it were an adult, the blue slime would get repulsed and pushed away since adults have strong souls. This is the reason why Caleb woke up in the body of a child at his first reincarnation and second reincarnation. So even if he wants to become an adult directly, he can't do anything about it. For now...

'Really cruel... It's not the same as passing through at all.' Caleb began to question the morality behind the powers that he had acquired with a somber expression.

"Yuji, what's up with your expression? What are you thinking about?"

Caleb almost jumped in fright as he saw an unfamiliar face suddenly appear in front of him. 'Holy hell!'

Feeling his rapidly beating heart. Caleb glared at the teenager in front of him with daggers. "You almost made me suffer a heart attack!"

The white-haired guy stared at Caleb with his blue eyes speechlessly. "Huh? Who are you joking? Heart attack at your damn age? I'm just curious why are you staring stupidly behind me?"

"As your brother, you are making me worried." With an upset sigh, the white-haired guy pressed the red button to turn off the gaming engine using the black remote in his hand. "You ruined my gaming rhythm..."

'Gaming rhythm? There's such a thing? Oh... Did he mean zone?'

Caleb sighed with a discouraged expression and answered unwillingly. "I just intend to watch you play, that's it... And how did you know what I'm doing behind you?"

"Huh? Did you seriously forget? It's my white eye. My damn white eye..." The white-haired guy pointed at his pupils.

"That's blue, not white..." Caleb blinked innocently and corrected. 'Crap, it seems I just said something stupid.'

"Y-you! Do you have memory problems like our father already, or did you hit your head somewhere?" The white-haired teen asked Caleb with a wide eye.

Caleb decided to shut his mouth to not make things more suspicious. 'Damn it! Where's the memories of this body!? Why haven't I received it yet?'

Seeing his younger brother's silence. The white-haired guy sighed. "As of recently, father's dementia got worse and worse. You won't get the same disease, are you?" His expression turned to that of remorse and his eyes were hiding deep sorrow.

"I'm not..." Caleb rolled his eyes. 'Me? Dementia? Tsk...'

"So what's with your white eye?"

"It's my first ability that I awakened?"

The other party's answer made Caleb aware of something. 'Ability? awakened? Holy! It seems superpowers exist in this world!'

"My little brother. It seems you really forgot. At your age, when I was four years old, I could memorize an entire shelf of books. Can't you see? Your older brother is a genius!" The guy raised his head with pride as he said this, which in turn made the corner of Caleb's mouth twitch.

'Braggart!' Caleb eyed his supposed older brother from head to toe. Although he doesn't like to admit it. The bastard looks dashing. Not worse than the idols with millions of fans in his past life.

White hair, smooth white skin, perfectly symmetrical facial features, small head, azure eyes, and so on... Followed by his slender, lean physique. Caleb gritted his teeth and began to think that the other party's face was punchable. 'Damn guy! Unfair!'

'What's more, is this guy really taking me seriously? A fucking 4-year-old kid who shouldn't have developed proper logical reasoning yet?'

"So what do your white eyes can do?" Caleb stared at his supposed-to-be older brother, pretending to be curious. Well, he was really curious, though.

"You see, I'm a grade 2 taboo fighter. I can use my white eyes to gain a 360º field of vision with no blind spot..." As he said this, his azure pupils quickly turned colorless, then white.

"So that's why you manage to monitor my actions without even looking..." Caleb said with genuine surprise.

"I awakened my ability last year when you were just 3 years old. As my younger brother, you have to know this, okay?"

"Okay..." Caleb nodded with a hint of reluctance. 'Damn you, my real age is 25 years old!!'

"How about grade 2? What's the matter with it? Is the highest grade 1?"

"No..." The white-haired guy who Caleb doesn't know the name yet shook his head. "Grade 1 is the lowest. Everyone awakens at 16 years old. Once you get past that, it means you're not fated to become a taboo fighter."

Caleb's eyelids rose, and he asked cautiously. "No chance anymore?"

"Yes. In history, no one has managed to awaken after 16 years old. And once you awaken, you're automatically graded and you will get your first ability."

"That's awesome!!" Caleb clenched his fist and he couldn't help but look forward to his 16th birthday. As a well-read earthling, he has longed for a long time to wield powers beyond science, beyond human limits.

The white-haired teen smirked. "Fuck right?"

'Seriously? Are you cursing in front of your 4-year-old brother?' Caleb complained inwardly and began to think that the kid in front of him lacked decorum.

"As for your questions earlier, the highest grade a human has achieved was grade 11. And that person had reached a realm closed to god."

"Only one person reached grade 11?"

"Yes, only one person. However, his whereabouts were unknown now. As for grade 10, they are called Saints, for short, Demi-God. Currently, there are only seven of them in the entire Fulcrum Continent. They can split mountains with their fingers and move the ocean in one breath. What's more, they have 10 heaven-defying abilities!"

'Fulcrum continent... I'm really in another fucking world!' As he thought of this, Caleb felt emotional. He was far away from home. He didn't know how to process this fact at the moment.

"You're first ability is the most important ability because it would determine your future potential." The white-haired teen explained.
