SSS Awakening: I Can Steal Attributes-Chapter 53: Body Changes

"Ninety kilograms?"

The last time he checked his weight was a week ago. Back then, he was only sixty-five kilograms. With his diet and his daily exercise coupled with a fast metabolism, Desther hardly gains any weight and has maintained a 63-65 kilogram weight in the last year or two.

Within his age and height range, such weight was considered normal in terms of his BMI index.

Now, weighing eighty kilograms, wouldn’t he straight up go into the obese category?

However, strangely enough, his body did not seem to grow any bigger. His clothes were still fitting the same as they once were.

When he flexed his biceps and other muscles, he did not seem to see any notable changes.

Stepping off the scale, Desther went to the wall where he usually measures his height and decided to measure it as well.

’I’ve grown 2 centimeters?’The thought crossed his mind as he looked at the marked spot.

Previously at 175.5 centimeters, Desther grew to 177.5 in a matter of days.

This was definitely unscientific.

However, the world has changed too much.

It was to the point that although he hardly believed it at first, Desther was able to accept it in a few moments.

He did not know the exact reason yet, though.

Things like this have not been talked about on the internet either.

However, there were indeed cases where Awakened Professionals grew and had their entire body structure change after awakening due to their talent. His case should be the same.

He just did not know what triggered it, though. If he had to guess, he was more inclined to believe that it has to do with his ever-changing attributes.

After he was done checking if there were any more changes in his body, Desther took out his phone and took a glance at his bank account.

As of this moment, his total wealth in cash was 168 Awakened Credits. From what he knew, a decent apartment rent usually ranged from 50 to 500 Awakened Credits. Desther was not that picky.

As long as there was enough space for him to move around, he could consider moving in immediately.

It would be better if it were just in the neighborhood as well since he was already familiar with the place here. It was also close to Radiant Dawn College, and more importantly, he had already scouted and mapped the area and already marked locations where he could hide and do other things in case of emergency.

’I’ll search around tomorrow. Hopefully, I’ll be able to find one before the Professional Badge comes out.’

Closing the banking app, Desther opened the Professional Tube once more.

Aside from reading novels, scrolling through the social media app was also one of his ways of letting the time pass.

Although he does not follow anyone on Professional Tube, due to his online history, the algorithm already knew what kind of content he always watched and read, so its recommendation was always spot on.

As he was scrolling, a particular post or thread suddenly caught his attention.

Upon a closer look, it actually came from a public group called The Thinkers.

Desther was already familiar with this group. It has appeared on his feed several times, and he has always thought that their way of thinking has always been unique.

Simply put, The Thinkers was a public group where members discussed a lot of topics concerning almost everything around the world.

They try to explore other angles of a story or narrative, in which others would not even dare to consider.

The what-ifs of certain events, the hows and the whys.

If put into more professional terms, they could be considered theorists. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

But in a layman’s perspective, calling them overthinkers and paranoid would not be an overstatement either.

Every time a popular discussion was recommended to Desther by the algorithm, he would always try to read and understand them.

In fact, he had actually gained a lot of knowledge from this group because of such discussion.

Whether they were true or not, though, was still a matter up to debate.

The reason why his attention was caught this time, though, was because of its catchy title.

[ S-Grade Awakened Professionals Already Exist And How They Trigger Dungeon Mutations! ]

It was a post made by a guy with the username @Joechicken.

The title immediately caught Desther’s attention.

This was because he had experienced it firsthand, and to be honest, he even thought for a second that the person was referring to him and the dungeon that he was in before when @Joechiken created the post.

With his attention caught, Desther decided to click on the post and read the entire thread and discussion.

[@Joechicken: Guys, I might have discovered something astonishing. Alright, hear me out. First thing’s first, I don’t have any proof yet, but I say that there is a high probability that I am right.]

The moment he saw it, Desther immediately realized that this was one of The Thinker’s episodes of theory-theory no mi once more.

Although no longer hopeful about it, Desther still continued to read the thread.

[@Joechiken: As everyone knows, dungeons mutate because of the influx of mana in the said dungeon. Usually, this only happens when a dungeon breakout occurs or when a dungeon boss tries to surpass its current limit.]

[However, have you guys ever considered what would happen if, for example, a strong human with a very strong talent awakened inside a dungeon? ]

[When humans awaken, we do know that they do so with the help of the mana that came from the dungeon. Nowadays, our teen usually awakens inside a regulated dungeon for obvious reasons.]

[Most regulated dungeons used in such events were usually at F-Threat level. ]

[However, if a human with a very strong potential and an S-Grade talent, awakened in such a low-rank dungeon, what do you guys think would happen?]

[Is the mana inside an F-Threat Dungeon even enough to supply and awaken such a monstrous prodigy?]
