Max was in his cabin, lost in thought, utilizing all his mental powers to ponder how he acquired this skill.

Skill:

[Lawless aura]. (passive skill)

Grade: purple

Effect :

1- criminals and lowlifes will show unfounded favorability towards you .

2- individuals belonging to the lawful faction will tend to ignore you to some extent. As long as you are out of their sight, they tent to forget about your existence to some extent.

3-if you show greater strength in front of individuals of the lawless faction under your command, they cannot rase any thoughts of opposition or betrayer towards you.

4- you can sense any kind of malice directed towards you.

' and it's a purple passive a faking purple passive skill '

Passive skills are at least 10 times harder to acquire.

It takes a lot longer to learn, but the benefits it offers are immense, once you learn it, it's there for life and, unlike active skills, it doesn't have a proficiency level, maxed out from the start.

Now the question is, how did Max get a passive skill, a purple one at that?

white, green, blue, purple, and orange are the known skill grades, with Purple grade being the highest grade ever acquired in this world.

Max is obviously happy with his new skill, being so overpowered but confused at the same time unable to learn where or when did he get this skill.

After the thing with the scammer back at the slums of Glory City, Max became suspicious, there was obviously something wrong with how those criminals act around him, although he felt it before, and just chose to ignore it since it seemed its something out of his control.

Max is a carefree person, with his peace of mind being one of his highest priorities, since you can't figure it out then just don't think about it.

But even so, after the thing with the scammed, Max decided to investigate it when he is free, this situation is obviously Supernatural it's either something coming out from himself or someone else is manipulating, if it's the latter, then Max will simply ignore it in till his strong enough and deal with the person behind the scenes.

But if it's something coming from himself, it's easy to investigate. Just ask the simulator to scan himself, and indeed, on the train after scanning he found that he had inexplicably got a skill.

....

After thinking for so long he came out with one possible answer, ' it must be because of my previous life, back on Earth even if someone met certain requirements to acquire a passive skill or something like that, nothing will happen because there is no energy in the air! And no mystical presence around.

Even if you are a king and walk in the slums alone, you'd get robbed, anyway. No king's aura what so ever, same as if you're the big mafia boss, those desperados in the slums will Robb you anyway.

However, if a king come to this world, he would most likely awaken a real king's aura, lowlifes will be unable to look him in the eye even if he is weak. '

"now that explains a lot, why my gang life was relatively peaceful, why I had this bad feeling about leaving Lucy alone at the hotel. It all makes sense now."

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

Max didn't care about who was behind that feeling. It was most probably one of his cockroach like recruiters.

.....

The power of this skill is off the charts and will prove to be extremely valuable in the future, even though the second effect may not be working properly for some reason.

Or could it be even with its effect? Those guys are so persistent…

What if I didn't have it?."

Max experienced a chilling sensation as sweat trickled down his back.

"Crazy bastards!, change in plans. I will definitely come back to Robb the entire city later"

....

Looking up from the simulator screen, Max looked at the determined Lucy in front of him helplessly.

She had a firm expression on her little face, holding two paint barrels, one in each hand, while flying in front of Max.

"little Lu, can't you wait in till we reach our new home? We can't do it here. We will make a mess and it's illegal. The bad guys will put us in jail".

From their spiritual link, Max could feel something around the meaning of "I am not taking a no for an answer, ahm, no no,".

Lucy didn't speak nonsense with Max. Putting the paint down, she flew to a corner, picked Max's credit card, and slapped it on his cheek, with a triumphant expression on her face .

Max was speechless.

Good guy, why did you become so smart all of a sudden?.

Back at the hotel, they broke a lot of things, but every time she saw max using this thing to stop the aggressive hotel workers.

...

"Sigh.. Alright, alright, let's get this over with".

Sighing again, Max walked to the bathroom helplessly.

Lucy flew after him happily, excitement apparent in her tiny eyes.

....

Inside the bathroom, max opened his hands and waited, while closing his eyes.

"do it".

..... Tink. think!!.

Max waiting for long, but nothing happened. He could clearly hear Lucy opening the paint buckets.

Opening his eyes, max couldn't help but think that Lucy felt sad for her poor master and changed her mind.

But looking around, Max didn't see her, only the empty paint buckets.

Before he could understand the situation.

Suddenly he felt a tug on his leg, swish! .

Max's vision turned upside down.

Lucy held him by the leg, flying while giggling happily.

....

Looking down at the bathtub filled with paint, Max had one word to say.

"fuck me sideways".

.....

Author note :

Hello everyone, i hope you are doing well.

The good news is that I've nearly finished the really awful chapters. Others just need a few fixes here and there.

..

Let's shift our focus to discussing the chapter now.

At first I didn't want to reveal the lawless aura this soon, but no matter how I think about it, I have no solid reason to delay it.

I found a few ideas, but it's all seemed forced and I didn't like it, not even a bit.

The Mc Max while carefree, he isn't stupid, naïve or dense.

While in the city, he ignored it because he was in a hurry to leave, but on the train he definitely had to think about it and ask the simulator.

I wish you all the best.
