And if he put his energy into his new talent infinite adaptation would not provide any good results. As he needs to be in a specific stressful situation or environment to adapt to. Otherwise, he won't even know what he will adapt to and will uselessly waste his hard-earned energy.
While he was thinking about his serious issues, his brother Sam walked towards him and hugged him while blabbering unknown words. John didn't know what to do with this kind of situation, he couldn't avoid it as he didn't have anything else he could do.
Nor has he ever faced this kind of situation in his previous life, and he also couldn't outright reject his twin brother's affection. No other children would ever play with him due to his body being covered with black scales making him look like a demonic being. As he's responsible for his twin brother's mutation.
He felt he would need to accompany him as much as possible even though it was a pain in the ass to pretend to be a child to play with him. His parents also didn't know what to do about their child's current scenario. With no other choice, John accompanied his twin brother Sam.
John ran slowly around their house with his brother Sam following him around with a happy smile on his face.
While this smile may appear a nightmare to most people due to their ferocious appearance. John didn't find previous because he was also almost the same as his brother appearance-wise and was getting the same treatment from other people in the village.
People could be as cruel as beasts for some people as long as their behavior didn't get them into any bad situation.
While John and Sam were running around their house in circles. Their mother was packing her husband's lunch in a wooden box which was a piece of flour bread and some fresh vegetables and eggs with a little bit of salt. After packing these up, she called out, “John! come here.”
John ran towards Emma while thinking of mutating his snake abilities, which had evolved to fit his human form.
He now could partially suggest humans into what he is saying unconditionally for a moment and can also control all the snakes with his horn, which could vibrate at a certain frequency.
The tail was still there but was growing much more slowly. Maybe only in his adulthood could he probably grow his tail to full form. But the ability to control the snakes remotely is enough for him now.
He used his suggestive hypnotic ability to make his parents name him John, which would make it easy for him, and more importantly, now he could control the data panel and make changes if he desired.
John called out the newly modified data panel.
[ Bloodline Creature(2/4).
Lifespan: 1/150 years.
Race: Human(infant)
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Skills: Poison, Snake control, Hypnotize, Animal Control(invalid).
Energy: 100%
Talent: Endless growth(0%), infinite adaption(0%) ]
His animal control was currently invalid because his tail, which was needed to perform this skill, was currently in its growth period.
After looking at his panel he entered the kitchen. Emma handed him a wooden box and said with a serious expression on her face, “John, give this box to your father and come back straight home after handing the box to your father. Do you understand?”
John nodded with a naive expression as any other child in the village and cried out “Yes! Mom.”
Emma patted her son's head with a smile and said kindly, “Go. Don't let your father wait anymore.”
John nodded and walked out of the house holding the wooden box. Seeing John walking out of the house Sam followed him with an excited expression on his face as neither his parents nor John allowed him to walk out of the house on his own.
So every minute out of the house is a new exploration time for him. John was aware of his brother's action but continued to walk as usual.
John found that children in this world grew fast compared to the children from his previous life. Most of them possess good motor skills and talking capacity just within one year. Thus making their survival much better than humans from a previous life.
While John was walking on the mud road, he looked back at the village center, where there was a huge open square that could accommodate more than a hundred people at a time. Where most of the trading and public announcements usually happen.
The village was divided into four roads with a public square and a center surrounded by farmlands on all sides with a large blackwood mountain facing North, a small river on the West, on the South, there's a road to a nearby city, lastly on the east was a forest where humans tribes who would trade with village sometimes lives.
The tribal people couldn't enter the city but could enter the village as long as the Blackwood village people didn't complain about it.
John walked on the road while looking at the people who were all wearing grey-colored clothes normally and a few mutated people with small mutations, which made them look a little weird. Such as one mid-twenty human wearing a grey shirt and loin cloth has a large ear unproportional to his head.
He may have good hearing compared to others, but at the same time, he has a high probability of insects entering his ear with such unusually large ears. Which would mark his large as a failed evolution.
Such mutations are still in small numbers in the village with a large number of the people having good mutations. Such as high endurance compared with other humans from nearby villages.
With such high endurance and farming skills, Blackwood Village has gained prestige as the wealthiest village under the Blue Whale City.
While John was walking towards the farmland at the end of the road. Some of the children from the street gathered around a tree with plump green fruits hanging. Two of them were wrestling with each other while others were cheering for them.
Sam, who was following John, was distracted by other children's play and walked towards them.
John found Sam's action with his unusually high senses. But didn't do anything as there wasn't much these children could do to Sam. Sam also has the bloodline of the black snake, which was a giant on land.
Even adults in the village find it very hard to compare to John and Sam in terms of strength.
Most of the kids in the village almost could only ignore them. So he walked towards it without caring; in a few moments, he reached the farmland and found his father in the middle of a mature golden-colored rice field and shouted, “Father!”
Rock turned around and put down the hoe, washed his hands in the water, and walked towards John with a smile on his face, seeing his child. He took the wooden box from John and asked with a smile on his face, “Have you eaten, John?”
John replied, crispy as a kid would. “Yes! Father.”
Rock nodded as he opened the wooden box, and ate while John began to roam around the farmland and controlled the snakes in the farmland to see if something unusual was happening.
A few minutes later, checking out everything and finding everything was normal, he returned to where Rock was and waited for him to finish the lunch.
Rock handed the wooden box and said to John straightforwardly “Go straight to the home. Don't go anywhere else.”
After saying so, he walked towards the other farm areas that still had some work remaining. John walked back to the dry road from the rice field and walked towards the house at a slow pace as he continued to patrol the nearby area with the snake in his control.
It was John’s routine daily for the last few days since his mother allowed him to deliver the wooden box.
Just as he was walking towards his home. One of the mud house doors on his way opened, and a middle-aged woman with grey hair in coarse cloth came out and called him, “John, come here.”
John looked at the woman who called him with a confused expression. He never interacted with others in the village most of the time and didn't know why the woman was calling him. But still, he walked towards her to see what she was going to say.
John came near her and asked with an innocent expression “What's the matter? Aunty.”
The middle-aged woman looked at her and replied with a smile, “It's nothing, kid. I have a daughter who is shy and doesn't go out much. Could you take her with you and play with her.”
John was troubled with this sudden task but he didn't show it on his face. He replied to her with an expectation on his face, “Okay, where is she, Aunty?”
