William looked at the effects of the new Order Element with awe. Just the fact that he was able to use the Element was more than enough for him, but already having access to the Territory of Order and the Order Elemental was even better.
Not only that, but William would be able to consume the five hundred Order Fruits that had stocked up over the course of his travels, meaning he could instantly reach fifty percent Comprehension!
All was well in the World of Efretta, at least in William's books.
As time passed and the upgrade continued, William saw the weakest Thread snap, his connection with a bellhop at one of the Hotels suddenly severed, a thin strand falling to the ground and slowly disappearing before William had a chance to grab it.
His body entered a period of weakness like the System warned, but it wasn't as strong as expected, only hindering his movements by a few percent, while the rest of him was unaffected.
-This is the effects of the Resist Karma Talent, as it says in the description.
William nodded in understanding, having already read through the information of all the Resistance Talents. The only part of his Status Panel that he hadn't read through yet was the Jack Of All Trades Talent, but only because the description was so long that he hadn't yet bothered.
That said, William planned to check Jack Of All Trades once he finished upgrading and testing the Karma and Fate Elements. This way he could avoid any accidents like when he used the Vision Talent and accidentally switched between modes.
-Oh, you plan to read something for once?
Can you stop giving me trouble about that? I've read tons of stuff over the last year. I even went to libraries to search for more information on the Thieves' Guild a while back!
-You did it because you had to, not because you wanted to.
I could have used the Ask Function, couldn't I?
-At the time, you were too afraid of spending Potential Points. You wouldn't have used it even if I only charged you a few dozen Points.
... William didn't have a comeback to refute the System's words. He used to be incredibly stingy with his Potential Points, even failing to acquire new Talents for a long time because he was afraid of wasting them on some useless Talent.
He continued upgrading the Karma Element to S-Rank, snapping a few more of his Karma Threads in the process, but still among the weakest ones. After a while, William realized that he could focus his resistance on specific Threads, making sure that he only lost connections with the useless individuals.
Person after person found themselves losing their memories of William, perceiving him as only a fuzzy thought in the back of their minds, before receding completely to the point where they couldn't even remember his name.
Only when rumors of William's feats were brought up in taverns or marketplaces did the people remember that they had once met with him, but the memories would promptly disappear not long later, as if they had absolutely nothing to do with the man.
William had the same experience, even his amazing memory unable to recall a single detail about the people whose Karma Threads had snapped. He managed to store the remainder of the severed Threads inside his Specialized Titanium Space Rings before they disappeared, but he could care less about those he forgot about.
