The Herb King

11 Perfect Disguise And Conceal

When Mr. Lassiter came out of the room, he erupted into peals of laughter that woke up the resting Mrs. Lassiter.

"Dear, you broke through?" Mrs. Lassiter stood up and went to her husband happily. She knew that he had broken through when she saw his joyful look. That means, those pills worked!

Mr. Lassiter nodded his head. His gaze then turned serious as he muttered. "Now that I've become a Level 3 Esper, I should return to the camp and inform General Gavin about this."

Mrs. Lassiter's face fell upon hearing his words. Her husband was planning to join the fight again! "Dear, aren't you on leave? You still have a few more days left. How about you go back to the camp tomorrow morning?" She looked at him worriedly.

Mr. Lassiter shook his head solemnly. "I'm sorry, dear. I have to be there now. I can't continue to grieve here while more of my brothers die on the battlefield. It's better if I go now while Leric is still asleep. Just tell him that I'll be back soon." He kissed his wife before he left.

Mrs. Lassiter could only stare at her husband's back view with tears in her eyes. She wanted him to stay, but she knew that her husband would feel even more remorseful if more of his comrades die. He was a soldier, so she couldn't do anything about it. She could only pray for her husband's safety while he was on the battlefield. "Please be safe…"

Leric stood atop the rooftop of their house and looked at his father's disappearing figure. "Should I follow, Dad? He would recognize me immediately with this child-like body. If only I had a way to disguise myself… Wait… That's right! I might be able to create a technique that could change my appearance! The question is…how?"

Leric tried to control the world essence in his Hegel as he tried to stimulate his muscles, bones, and internal organs.

After a few moments…

You have acquired the skill [Perfect Disguise]

Skill [Perfect Disguise] Level 1

- You can change your appearance freely. Your world essence will be consumed while you are in your disguise.

Leric almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw the changes in the Status Screen. He realized that this Status Screen might be somehow related to the Fruit of Rebirth that he ate at that time. This cheating tool was even more overpowered than the systems he has read in books during his past life! It could create skills and make him acquire talents so easily!

After reading the short description of the skill, a wave of foreign memories invaded his head forcefully. These memories were related to the new skill he just learned.

After a short moment of dizziness and headache, Leric finally learned the proper way to activate [Perfect Disguise].

Leric imagined a hot male superstar in his past life while adding a few changes to meet his desired look.

In a few more seconds, Leric felt his bones and muscles expanding, while his internal organs also slowly changed accordingly.

Rip!

Leric heard his clothes being torn apart and when he checked himself, he discovered that he had become the very person he imagine!

A black-haired man in his early twenties with lean muscles and chiseled abs. With a well-defined jawline, sharp eyebrows, tall nose, and exquisitely carved face, his new look would certainly cause the envy of all men alike.

A breeze of cold wind suddenly blew all over his body, making him shiver. "Gosh! I almost forgot that I'm naked now. Where do I find clothes of this body's size? Hmm… I can check my father's closet, but Mom might catch me…but if I have a concealing technique, she shouldn't be able to notice me. Hehe."

After planning everything out, Leric went back to his room sneakily. It was already night time, so the surroundings were silent. Leric covered his new body with world essence and thought about the invisible techniques in the books he read before.

You learned the new skill [Conceal]

Skill [Conceal] Level 1

- You can conceal yourself while consuming your world essence.

"Hehe. I never thought that creating skills was this easy…" Leric muttered to himself with a proud look. After admiring his new look in the mirror, he silently went out of his room while activating [Conceal].

His father's closet was just near his room, but his mother was still downstairs, so he had to be quick before she comes to the second floor.

Leric heaved a sigh of relief when he entered the room. He then opened the closet and search for a perfect set of clothes for him. After a minute of searching, he found an old black shirt and a matching black trousers. He quickly changed into them and went back to his room.

"Mom, would be worried if she wouldn't see me in my room. I should leave a note for her…" Leric took out a pen and paper from his desk and started writing a note.

"Mom, grandpa said that he will bring me to his place to learn Alchemy, but don't worry. He said that it won't take long. I will come back as soon as possible..." Leric felt guilty as he wrote the note. However, he was worried about his father's safety, so he could only do this.

After writing down everything, Leric placed the note on top of his desk and jumped out of their house through the window.

Swoosh.
