The more he thought about it, the more his emotions became weirder to him in a way, it was as if they were enhanced, no more like they were the emotions of another person entirely. Sure, Alan knew that he was a teenager, that he did get angry quite often, but not to this extent and most certainly not when inside what could potentially be a danger zone where the attacker could hit him at any second.
And it was at that moment as he was thinking about it, that something occurred to him, it was a small detail that had flied past him and he had almost forgotten about it entirely throughout the entire day.
When he had seen that thing, and those shining yellow eyes in the darkness of the treeline together with that green emerald aura that had surrounded the being, Alan had felt a sort of warmth or connection towards it, almost instinctively.
'Is my mind processing this as a betrayal instead of just an attacker?' Alan thought finally as the pieces slowly fell into place, it was the only reason that he could find however it was a reason that was even more unexplainable than him simply not knowing the reason for his emotions at all. That way, he could have simply explained it away as him losing his cool today a bit more than usual, but this detail added… something that didn't make sense at all, in any sort or shape of way.
'Why would I feel warmth towards that thing that was very much clearly inhuman, and something that I have never met before in my life? Was it some sort of ability that the thing had? Some kind of magic?' Alan thought for a moment as confusion slowly rippled through his mind before he shook his head.
'Even if I think about it now, I can't really find a reason, I dont have any real information on what that thing was, but atleast I can form some assumptions and possible reasons. Number one would most certainly be that it has some kind of magic that can influence my mind and emotions, that is the worst one, I just finished dealing with that fucking mind possesion bitch. The other reason would be that It's a creature that inherently has an extremely high charisma, this would be better than the magic as it would mean that it's not a controller effect but rather just its aura. That's basically the only two ways that I can think of at the moment with my current knowledge…. Damned it, I still know so little about this world.' Alan thought in frustration as he shook his head, he desperately hoped that it wasn't his first assumption, that would be a massive headache, however even if it was the second option, it wouldn't be much better but it would at least be less dangerous.
'Alright, let's… let's just get ready for Alice to come, after talking with her… I could potentially start… trying to get her to tell me stuff… whilst trying to maintain my secrecy. Though after my transformation, she clearly knows I'm… not normal but it doesn't matter if she suspects… and if worst comes to worst…. I can simply tell a lie to cover up the system, something believable…' Alan thought to himself before nodding to himself and turning to head back inside.
Once inside, he looked around the room, his mana perception still activated however he couldn't see any mana or residue that could have been left behind.
'I'd likely need a higher level of the skill to be able to see the residue or mana that has been around here. Or another evolution that would put me closer to a more complete elf. That would be… useful. I Imagine that's likely going to be at either level sixty or maybe fifty since that's the next dungeon?' Alan thought as circled around his room, trying to find anything and then he stopped. He finally found something.
Slowly he crouched down to the floor, it was right there, near the corner of the room, almost right next to his completely and fully ruined desk.
'Is that… a hair?' Alan thought as he took the hair follicle with two fingers and slowly lifted it up and towards the light so that he could have a better look at it.
It was tall, black and almost completely straight, and unlike any other human hair that he had seen before because it most certainly wasn't human, and he could tell with a simple glance.
The hair follicle was too thick to belong to any regular human being.
'It's… similar to the hair… or rather fur of a dog? And with what Alice said previously… wolves… werewolves… It's practically confirmed by this point isn't it?' Alan thought to himself before shaking his head as he slowly stood up.
It was at that moment that he heard the roaring of a car engine pushed to its limits coming from a few streets away.
'That's… most definitely a sports car.' Alan thought to himself before he shook his head for what felt like the hundredth time.
'Here I am, getting mad over old pairs of fuckin jeans and she pulls up in….' Alan thought as he finally turned his head to the window and set his gaze on the sports car that had just practically done a perfect drift through the corner of the street and was coming towards his apartment building at speeds that were more than definitely illegal.
'In a yellow porsche 911…'
