Chapter 128: New Type of Energy
The rapidity of the absorption meant that Klaus couldn't think about it other than a: 'He ran out of steam.' For that's what it seemed like.
There was a lot to think about, but he didn't give it much thought because something happened in his body at that moment.

The first thing is that the marks over his heart stopped being 'marks' and became something very similar to an energy transmitter that permeated the veins coming out of his heart. Gradually, they expanded, and within seconds, they were over every vein in his body.
At the same time, a strange energy was mixed between those veins. This energy was not positive, nor was it cursed. It was a kind of dark energy, a bit similar to the cursed energy, only a bit darker and more evil.
This energy was abundant in some way and was all over his body, which allowed him to study it. When barely 10 seconds had passed studying it, he felt a stream of information being transmitted from that strange energy to his brain.
Curses energy. Unlike 'cursed energy,' which gives birth to many things in this world and can be used for progressive strengthening, curses energy is similar, although it does strengthen him, not directly, but his mind.
Thanks to that, his mind seemed to have suddenly become more powerful, making his thoughts more effective and less troublesome. He could control them perfectly, and even mathematical problems that he saw in his past life and that were a bit complicated to solve seemed to have become easier and more understandable.
It was amazing that something could improve the mind of the greatest scientist on earth, so he was delighted with that.
But that was not all.
Curse energy doesn't strengthen your physique, so it doesn't attack the physique directly, either. So it's a bit useless if you look at it like that, but when you realize that it can attack the soul directly, you realize it's much better than any physical attack.
This is a mental attack, something not many sorcerers can do in a versatile or natural way.
'If I remember correctly, Alya Arlott was famous in the novel because she had the ability to attack directly to the soul. Could it be that she has something like this?' he thought.
He could not only make direct attacks on the soul (mind) but also implant curses within his abilities and knowledge.
The thing is, he has very little knowledge about them right now. 'I wonder what I can do. Will I be able to cast the curse on someone's face?' he thought, remembering what the curse he had just swallowed was about.
Instead of receiving an answer, suddenly, his mind went white, and he felt himself falling. But, in that same instant, he felt he was on a firm footing.
He opened his eyes, confused, and found himself in the middle of a black, empty, and totally dark space. Although he had never been given any information about it and had no idea what it was, as soon as he opened his eyes, he knew he was in a space inside his mind.
'Did my mind have such a good space?' he thought, looking around. But as he did so, something caught his attention.
Inside was a small creature floating quietly there. It looked small, but it looked terrifying somehow.
Its head appeared to be that of a small dragon, but the face was human. Two small horns protruded from its strange head, and the rest of its body was normal humanoid.
Seeing it and not knowing what it was, his System activated and gave him the information.
[Little Human-Faced Dragon Curse. It was extracted from the Human Faceless Dragon Curse].
| Curses are a type of power, of energy. They can be cultivated inside the body using a pure energy source. They are very useful for cursing your enemies, so they can be a trump card; they can also be used for illusions, depending on the type.
| They are a special kind of soul-strengthening energy that is useful for unlocking Soul Space. Although they can be bred as pets, they are mute until they get a vessel suited to their destiny.
| The Birthmark of the Curse is what you must do to be able to 'Curse' someone else.
Klaus looked at the forehead of the Curse and saw there a mark like small leaves turning clockwise.
'That must be the birthmark. If I do this somewhere and sometimes, I can pass it on. But it's still small; I must grow it.' He thought.
The fact that it was mute until it found a vessel was of no consequence; in fact, for him, that would be best for now. Since he doesn't like to hear voices in his head, that would make him look like he is crazy, which he is, but not in that way.
Then he looked around and nodded. 'So this is a Soul Space.'
It didn't look anything special, but something useful it should have, and he would find out in the future.
For now, he decided to focus on the character before him.
Somehow, this one seemed connected to all the curse's energy. The mark on its forehead resembled the mark that had been imprinted on his heart previously, which is why it now hurts so much.
'And I can give him cursed or positive energy to grow within its own energy, which will also increase my cursing energy. I wonder how much-cursed energy it will need to grow?'
As he imagined ways to feed it, he began to feel his mind slowly darken. He felt dizzy. Also, somehow, he could feel some caresses on his face and hair.
The caresses and the dizziness blended into one, suddenly bringing his mind back to his body.
He opened his eyes.
A beautiful face stood in front of him, staring at him while trying to help him in some way. It even seemed to want to transmit its own energy to him, but it could not do so.
In the end, she simply placed several treasures next to him and laid him on her lap.
That's how Klaus could stare at her when she looked at him.
