"I have to carefully prepare and thoroughly plan my way in the Origin World..." Roman thought to himself.
He knew the rewards and dangers the Origin World could bring to him.
He continued browsing through the website, learning and reading about several travel guides, how to find secret caves, and how to locate resources.
After learning all of this, he opened the Skill-Share website and downloaded the Beginner Guide of Meditation.
Basic Origin Power Meditation Guide—it explained how to easily meditate and relax the body. After that, it taught how to direct Origin Power from the air and guide it through the body.
Because of the basic movement pattern—running from the skull down to the toes along the vertebral bone in the back—it was called Basic Meditation, saved only for beginners.
Well, if someone said it was for the poor, that wouldn't be false either.
Although the book was written for beginners it worked for everyone, it was very important—not just to him, but to all newbies as well. It could greatly improve a beginner's overall survival chances.
Since spawning in the Origin World was random, sometimes near citadels or monster zones, fighting big creatures with human strength wasn't easy. That's why this meditation was invented.
But it was also the key to opening the gate to the Origin World.
"Random spawning is known by all people," Roman thought. "If I didn't get the predecessor's memory, I'd be doomed."
Thinking this, he stretched his back.
"Ouch... My back... My back..." Roman almost screamed.
Today's injury had really gotten him. Never in his previous life had he been hurt this badly.
Although this world's technology and his Awakening had nearly healed him, it still couldn't fully restore his body.
Lying straight on his bed, he started to explore the Skill-Exchange website. There were a lot of skill books, but they needed something called a Mana Stone to exchange.
He didn't know what the heck it was—some kind of stone found through mining or something else.
So, he just saved the name in a notepad app.
Letter he would just search it through the reddit like website.
Using the hologram was kind of fun for him. He'd always wanted to see how far technology could go.
Feeling tired, he didn't even know when he fell asleep.
Today was the seventh day since his transmigration. He'd accepted everything... except one thing.
Why was he still lonely, just like in his previous life?
....
"…Fuu… haa… fuu…" Roman breathed through his mouth unconsciously.
"Bzzzz…" A sound started to hover in his head.
"Damn mosquitoes," Roman mumbled in his sleep.
That needle-thin zzzz pierced the silence, dragging his nerves with it.
Thump! Roman slapped his own cheek in reflex.
[Ding! Host killed a mosquito. Gained +0.01 EXP!]
A mechanical voice echoed inside his mind.
His eyes snapped open. "What the hell? Who said that?" Roman muttered, wide awake.
Suddenly, a glowing notification appeared in front of him with a crisp Ding!
[Talent Activated: 10,000x EXP Multiplier!]
Received +100 EXP!
Roman froze, staring at the floating text.
Before he could process it, a warm wave of energy rushed through his body—like electricity and heat rolling in waves.
He let out a moan without realizing it, a strange mixture of pleasure and overwhelming stimulation flooding through every nerve.
The feeling wasn't localized—it was like every part of his body had become hyper-sensitive. It felt almost intimate, like a forbidden pleasure spreading from his core.
"What the f—" Roman couldn't even finish before instinct kicked in.
He need to process the enery.
He sat up and immediately began to meditate, following the Basic Origin Power Meditation Guide he had downloaded.
He crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and drew in a deep breath.
Time passed in a blur. His body felt like it was bathing in molten energy.
Muscles twitched. Bones cracked and realigned with soft pops. His skin pulsed with warmth.
Tiny motes of light gathered around him, dancing like fireflies as they merged into his pores.
Then, BOOM!
An internal explosion echoed through his body, like something born.
It was as if all the energy had condensed and transformed into something new, something more.
"Shit..." Roman muttered, dazed.
A foul stench hit his nose. He looked down—and nearly gagged.
Black, greasy goo oozed from his skin, dripping like tar. His clothes were soaked in it.
"What the hell!?"
He ran to the washroom.
No matter how many times he scrubbed himself, the black substance kept coming out.
His pores seemed to be purging it, bit by bit, like his entire body was detoxifying.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity under the steaming shower, the black gunk stopped.
He collapsed against the wall, panting. "Okay... what was that?"
Still wrapped in a towel, Roman rushed back to his room and turned on the holo-screen.
He opened the Origin Forum—a Reddit-style site where Awakened posted experiences, and often sell several courses.
He immeditaly search the symptons.
"Those are impurities, its normal to expelled during Tier 5 advancement."
Roman frowned. "Tier 5? But I am still in Tier 0.." Roman questioned.
Thinking its phenomena for triple S rank like him he didnt think much.
Turning off the holograms, he opened his status window and immediately became surprised.
"Really! One mosquito is 100 Exp?" Roman was surprised.
"It seems people are gonna get their daredevil extinguisher—the killer of mosquitoes."
As he silently mumbled" Status screen" Transparent window pop up.

"Is it me, or does everyone have an Exp storage option?" Roman quetioned
"I saw several skills in the Skill-Share web which use Origin Power instead of Mana. Is it for that?" Roman thought while trying to move his 100 Exp to the Origin Mana Enhancement trait. Immediately, the status screen changed.

"Well, it seems after I move the Exp from Exp storage, Exp storage will vanish.
Well, doesn't that mean I need to store my Exp in the storage, then with the meditation I could transfer myself to the Origin World?"
"Damn it, why didn't I consider it before?!" He cursed his intellect.
But he immediately calmed down. Now that he knew killing mosquitoes would obviously give him Exp points, why wouldn't he go on a rampage killing such creatures?
