Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 112

‘Let’s try one more time.’

I turned on the device-specific timer, closed my eyes, and gathered my concentration. Then I drew the circuit for ‘Incapacitation skill’ using invisible mana as ink.

Skill complete.

The completed skill is held in my right hand.

Even though I can’t see it, I can tell from the texture and elasticity. It’s kind of similar to jelly. At first it’s liquid, but once complete it becomes springy yet maintains proper cohesion.

‘Next is…’

I took a BB pellet in my left hand and merged the skill with it.

Rather than pushing it in with force, “seeping in” might be a more accurate description. After fumbling around, when I get that ‘here it is’ feeling, the jelly sliiides into the pellet’s interior.

Swoooosh—

Right, like this.

I can’t actually hear the sound, but I can sense the seeping movement. Once it’s all seeped in, I press firmly from the outside like packing a snowball, and I’m done.

This creates a pellet that’s solid on the surface but has mana’s characteristic dampness and stickiness. My ‘Incapacitation skill’ is now contained inside this toy pellet.

‘This actually works?’

Professor Joo didn’t explain to me what this is, but as a possessor, I already know.

Skill transplantation.

The technique of transferring a skill’s properties to another object.

Crafting-type Awakened love using this technique, and it’s also our Junhwi’s specialty. That’s why I tried copying him, but,

‘It’s working too well?’

The success rate is so high even I’m surprised. Non-crafting types can use skill transplantation too, but their success rates are usually abysmal.

How should I put it—it’s like piano.

Regular people can press keys and comfortably manage Chopsticks March, but playing high-difficulty pieces requires talent and training.

Incapacitation has relatively complex formulas. Yet combat-class Yeon Sora is succeeding every single time.

Of course, I can guess the reason.

‘It’s because of the copy machine, right?’

People in this world think I’m a Flame Mage so they arbitrarily categorized me as ‘combat-class,’ but my skill copy machine isn’t limited to one class.

Because my biases are all different classes.

What this means, what the principle behind my ability is, how to utilize it in the future—I need to figure that out, but… that’s not my job.

‘This clearly requires expertise.’

Two lunatic professors and one lunatic researcher will diligently investigate for me instead. I just need to watch carefully, then when they go ‘This is it!’ I’ll approach, probe them, and deduce the results.

So let’s leave principles and theories to them!

I just need to focus on what I can do right now.

‘This time with something different…’

I concentrated my energy again and this time drew the circuit for ‘Paralysis skill.’ Then when I tried to transplant the skill into a BB pellet the same way,

Pop!

The pellet exploded on contact.

As expected, I can’t transplant Paralysis skill.

I tried several times earlier but failed every single time. If we’re ranking circuit difficulty, Paralysis skill is actually easier….

‘Is this related to the compatibility thing they mentioned before?’

Anyway, what’s important right now is one fact.

I can only transplant ‘Incapacitation skill.’

“S-Sora… are you okay?”

Startled by the noise, Boram is staring at my hand with wide eyes.

I also stare wide-eyed at Boram’s hand and… my heart stopped.

“Juwan is…!!!!”

The mini Yeom Juwan doll’s arm is crushed.

Flat….

“O-our Juwan… his arm… his arm…!”

“I-it’s, it’s okay! I-it’s still the sculpting stage….”

“No… th-the arm!”

“I-I’ll fix it!”

Boram quickly moved her hands and plumped Juwan’s arm back to its proper roundness.

“D-don’t worry! L-look! It’s almost done! I-I’ll paint it soon!”

“Yes! H-hurry!”

Boram finished the mini Juwan’s form with artisan hands, then pulled out paint and a brush.

Soon our Juwan’s body began taking on skin tone. Only then could I calm my pounding heart and return to my own work.

‘Where was I….’

I remembered.

I can only transplant Incapacitation skill. So I should make as many items with transplanted Incapacitation skill as possible. Since transplantation takes time too.

Roughly testing it, transplanting once takes about 15 seconds, but frantically making them one by one in emergencies for 15 seconds each is insane.

Obviously better to use pre-made products.

Swoooosh—

I first transplanted Incapacitation skill into three BB pellets.

These are Yeon Sora’s special knockout pellets!

They look like harmless toy pellets on the outside, but anyone hit by these will faint—even Professor Joo-level monsters.

But I can’t rely solely on guns and pellets.

‘This is <On the Brink of Destruction>, after all.’

Since absurd incidents that break or lose the gun might happen, I should transplant skills into as many different weapons as possible.

Swoooosh—

The second weapon I chose was darts. Darts with sharp points like syringes and plastic-material fins on the tail.

No particular deep reason—I bought them because they’re familiar. In my previous life I was bad at ball-throwing but played lots of darts.

‘It’s been a while.’

Actually, darts were Dad’s hobby.

This guy unfairly established a rule where ‘we decide dish duty with darts,’ so I was forced to learn from elementary school onwards.

— Remember the three steps! Pull back, throw, follow through!

— Don’t move your elbow when throwing! Throw it like a paper airplane!

— Release all your fingers at once! If even one finger releases late, it’ll wobble!

Usually easygoing, he turned into a Spartan educator specifically about darts. Thanks to that I learned many techniques.

Plus I could throw them even with an elementary schooler’s body.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be possible with Yeon Sora’s physical abilities too? …Turns out I was right.

I checked earlier and found that while long distances don’t work, I can hit targets pretty accurately at close range.

‘……’

Thinking about darts suddenly makes me miss Dad.

I hope he’s resting peacefully in a good place.

Please let him not have ended up in a frustrating land like <On the Brink of Destruction>.

Come to think of it… maybe my crossing into this world is thanks to Dad too. He was the catalyst for me properly abandoning 3D fangirling and starting 2D fangirling.

After Dad left, while hoping he went somewhere good, hoping he reincarnated as a human, I searched ‘truck and reincarnation’ and found the isekai truck.

That was the moment I discovered genre novels.

…No wait, let’s just hurry up and work!

Swoooosh—

I additionally transplanted skills into three rocks.

Now I have 1 mana left.

I decided to put this into something slightly different. Skill transplantation causes slight variables depending on the object’s properties.

Right then, a thin brush caught my eye.

“Boram, can I borrow this brush?”

“U-um… yes! T-take whatever you want, Sora!”

“Thanks!”

I tried transplanting the skill into the brush Boram gave me too, but there’s no real difference. Neither in speed nor difficulty.

Now my mana pool is completely empty.

Then it’s time to move to the next task!

———————

【Checking ‘Yeon Sora’s’ overall stats.】

▷ Consumable Stats

– Stamina 1/1

– Mana 0/12

▷ Non-Consumable Stats

– Strength 1

– Durability 1

– Agility 0

– Intelligence 15

* You’ve received 4PT in ability points as reward for <Tower’s Wish> quest.

* Can be applied to both Consumable/Non-Consumable stats.

———————

I haven’t used the ability points I received as rewards yet.

Because I still don’t have a feel for where to use them.

Logically, I should probably raise these abysmal agility, stamina, durability, and strength stats….

‘But even raising them makes me last place.’

Other Awakened start with a base of 10 in stats. Even if I dump all 4 points into one place right now, that doesn’t even meet the baseline.

So should I just give up on areas where I can’t meet baseline and dump everything into mana instead? If the mana pool gets bigger, I can use more skills.

But before that, there’s something I need to check briefly.

【Consume (1) PT to increase mana stat by (1). Proceed? Y/N】

For now I invested just one point into mana.

‘Please work!!!’

I clasped both hands together and squeezed my eyes shut, then opened them to slits to check the result, and,

‘Yes!!!!!’

The best possible result was waiting for me.

———————

【Checking ‘Yeon Sora’s’ overall stats.】

▷ Consumable Stats

– Stamina 1/1

– Mana 13/13 (⇧1)

▷ Non-Consumable Stats

– Strength 1

– Durability 1

– Agility 0

– Intelligence 15

———————

Because my mana pool, which had been at 0 just moments ago, is now completely full.

There was a similar thing in the games I played in my previous life. A service that fills up newly upgraded stats as a reward when you pay!

‘Perfect!’

This makes me feel so much more secure.

If by any chance a crisis hits and I run out of mana?

Invest one ability point and instantly generate 14 mana.

As expected, I’m remarkably good at finding these kinds of tricks!

Feeling oddly proud, I was giggling to myself when Boram’s voice rang out.

“S-Sora?”

“Ah, sorry. Was I laughing weirdly?”

“N-no! I-it’s okay! I-I like you even if you’re creepy, Sora!”

Right, so I was creepy?

But Boram had a different reason for calling me.

“I-I finished for now.”

She’d completed the Seong Hayul and Yeom Juwan dolls in the meantime.

These are Han Boram’s exclusive voodoo dolls!

They look like decorative figures on the outside but they’re strange objects that move flexibly like dolls. The clay Boram uses is a product called ‘Khnum Clay,’ which is the material the Egyptian mythology god used to create humans.

“Wow… amazing!”

“Th-there wasn’t enough time….”

“No! They look exactly like the real thing!!! I guarantee it!!”

She perfectly replicated our Juwan through my nano observation. Our Juwan’s nose bridge angle and adorable lips, the distance between eyes-nose-mouth… zero margin of error!

Yet Boram’s face is full of dissatisfaction.

“I-if I had time I wanted to break it and remake it….”

“Absolutely not!”

“B-but… th-this isn’t really my work!”

‘As expected, civilians can’t understand artisans.’

In my previous life I watched a documentary about a master ceramicist, and that master did the exact same thing. Smashing perfectly fine-looking pottery because it didn’t meet their standards.

‘I need to save Juwan!’

Our mini Juwan might get shattered any moment.

I tried my best to persuade Boram, but her face still showed deep dissatisfaction.

“L-later I’ll make it again!”

“Then make new ones if you want, but don’t break this Juwan—give him to me!”

“Huh?”

“I want one too!”

“R-really? Y-you won’t feel bad?”

“Feel bad? I’d sell my soul to get one!”

Suddenly Han Boram’s face lit up brightly.

Our Boram covered her mouth with both hands and laughed, then made an offer impossible to refuse.

“Th-then… sh-should I make a Junhwi doll too?”

“Could you do that for me?”

“A-and Hyeonmin.”

“Please!!! I’ll give you anything!”

“B-but then I need… more materials. A-after practicals end, I-I’ll try again!”

Ah… my conscience pricks again.

But still, giving up these figures that replicate my babies so realistically….

I modified Yeon Sora’s crime record instead of stopping Boram.

———————————

Yeon Sora’s Secret Crime Log

– Serial Fainting Criminal (2 victims)

– DNA Theft (Ringleader)

———————————

In just one day I’ve been promoted from bystander to accomplice, and now to ringleader. I never decided to live virtuously, but the way things are flowing makes me feel kind of uneasy.

‘This strays too far from the clichés….’

Normally when there’s a delinquent, the inside should be kind, right?

That gap should exist, but I feel like my inside is even more sinister than my outside.

Still, if you ask whether I’ll protect my conscience and give up my babies’ figures… the answer is absolutely no.

I’ll sell my soul to collect them!!!

“Th-then should we sleep now? I-it’s late!”

Looking at the clock after hearing Boram’s words, it’s already 1 AM.

Tomorrow is practicals. Time to wrap up the day around here.

“Right, let’s clean up and get to bed!”

While saying that and tidying the table, Boram’s gaze locked onto one brush. The brush I’d received as a gift from her earlier.

“S-Sora. If you want a brush, I have better ones than this….”

Boram smiled brightly and picked up the brush,

Thud—

And fainted, smashing her head straight into the table.

And I learned a new fact.

Just touching it makes you faint.
