'Your first gift is called, Rooted Potato – Get your mind to do a specified task you assigned it like a bot.'

'Huh? Wasn't that basically an A.I?' I thought while thinking about why someone would name power as 'potato'?

'Your next gift is called Comfy Potato. No matter how much you improve physically or mentally your body will always stay the same as an average human.'

Welp there goes my plan of getting stronger by training, not that I would have started physical training with my lazy behaviour. How the heck is that a gift? Also, what is with him and his potatoes?{Read for free in Royal Road}

'And my final gift to you is called 'Same Potato'. Basically, no one can derive any of your powers from your genes or through any sort of magic or whatever medium. Not even One above all.

Just think 'rooted potato' in order to activate its ability, the rest are passive. Good luck!' Saying that El left having established his love for potatoes.

From all 3 of my power, the 3rd gift seemed the only useful one. But when I think about it who the hell with the ability to absorb powers would want powers like the 'Comfy potato' and 'Rooted potato', when they can absorb better powers?

Also, what's with the naming of these powers…?

Actually, on second thought, I like these names. They sounded refreshing and different rather than the cliché 'Order of the Grand Sage' or something like that for my Rooted Potato.

I sighed and decided to see what this Rooted potato ability really could do.

'Rooted Potato' I thought the 2 words in my mind.

Suddenly I felt a large space in my mind. I could feel the space was there for me to fill it with orders of some kind or command.

'Get out of the bed and walk around.' I gave an order.

Suddenly my body started moving on its own and got out of bed, while I was pushed to the back of my mind. It was a weird feeling to have my limbs move on its own while my mind was watching through my eyes from a backseat. But I felt I could take control of my body whenever I wanted to. It felt an absolute bliss to stay back in this back row.

After my body had walked around, I suddenly felt like I was kicked from the back row to take over the control of my body. It felt all too surreal.{Read for free in Royal Road}

I wanted to carry on experimenting with this ability. However, I stood still and looked at my roommate who was still fast asleep.

I looked around before spotting a bag on the side.{Read for free in Royal Road}

My bag from the memory I was given

I opened it to see there were some books meant for a 6-year-old kid in there. I sighed and looked around for anything more only to find other than the few notebooks meant for a 6-year-old there was nothing else in the bag.

I took a book named 'Billy and his Teddy'. Going beside the window where there was a bit of light, I took the book in my hands.

'Read the book.' I gave a command.

Suddenly the familiar feeling of being pushed back in my mind as something else took over my body came around once more.

However, this time I felt some strange information about a kid called Billy and his adventures with his teddy entering me.

'Holy crap, this is awesome.' I literally had a mind orgasm as I realised what was happening.

This was an ability made for procrastinators. This ability was literally a bot who would do everything I commanded.{Read for free in Royal Road}

Few more testing later I concluded this ability could only do things that I myself would only be able to do.

Such as the command to fly when I was not able to fly was just given with a response of me trying to jump a few times. However, I quickly took control of my body and stopped myself from jumping and looked at my roommate to see he was still sleeping.

I sighed and ordered the 'Rooted Potato' to pick up the book on the desk telekinetically only for me to walk towards the book and pick it manually.

The rooted potato only followed and executed orders that it was capable of or did the next best thing to make it capable. Also when it followed orders sometimes it did it with the best intention 'I' had in mind.{Read for free in Royal Road}

I had a few ideas on how to use this ability to the fullest. I could literally use this ability to do all the boring tasks for me while I could just chill back and rest, such as reading and learning new things.

Hahaha! This ability was awesome for me.{Read for free in Royal Road}

Then I remembered my second ability. 'Comfy Potato- No matter how much you improve physically or mentally your body will always stay the same.'

Shit! Didn't that mean I would never grow from a 6-year-old kid and always stay small?

But there was something wrong. Why would El call a curse like this an ability or gift? Unless there was more to this power than I could understand.

I had some plans to test it out but that should be for tomorrow.

I ignored the drawings and posters of captain America everywhere in my room and went back to sleep.

Morning arrived and I was soon woken up with a loud blare of an alarm throughout the house.

I knew this was wake up alarm meant to wake up everyone and get ready for school in the morning.{Read for free in Royal Road}

I was annoyed with the stupid bell but had no choice other than to wake up.

I quickly took my brush and walked towards the bathroom before the others woke up and did my daily business.

I froze as I looked at myself for the first time.

There in front of me was a kid with brown hair and brown iris looking at me. I stared a few more minutes at myself before I started brushing my teeth and taking a quick shower.

After 10 minutes in and when I was nearly finished other kids started knocking on the door.

I cleaned up everything and went out to see the annoyed face of other kids living here.

"You are surprisingly early today David?" The girl who kept knocking on the door looked at me in surprise.

David Cox. That was the name I had in this world.{Read for free in Royal Road}

"Decided to make a change." I shrugged my shoulders and got changed to put my uniform on and packed my bag for school just as my roommate Tom woke up.

"You are early today David." He too stated in surprise.

"Yeah. I made a decision to change." I smiled at him. Tom was confused before shrugging his shoulders and walking out.
