Magic Backlash

[Please note, Host, the system draws the passive abilities of heroes, not the passive skills from the game. The game is just a game after all. Host should return to reality as soon as possible!]

Ul: "..."

Ul was already beyond words at this point.

But after the system's explanation, Ul roughly understood what this so-called "passive ability" really was.

Originally, Ul thought the "passive ability" referred to the passive skills of game characters, but now it seemed this "passive ability" was actually the true passive talent of the hero himself.

Having understood what the passive ability really meant, Ul had nothing more to say!

That aside!

At least for now, the passive ability of Cho'Gath he had drawn was indeed quite useful to him, even though he would have preferred a magic-related passive ability.

This world was ultimately centered on magic.

Although some Mages did possess formidable physical techniques, these were ultimately just accessories, because even if physical techniques in this world were pushed to their limits, they could never match the power of magic.

With Cho'Gath's passive, the speed at which Ul's stomach digested food increased dramatically. In just a few minutes, the little he had eaten was completely digested, and a fierce hunger surged in like a storm...

Sensing this!

Ul hurriedly started running toward the cafeteria.

Thanks to the body that had been somewhat strengthened by Cho'Gath's passive, Ul could finally manage to run!

When Ul arrived at the cafeteria, it hadn't closed yet.

So he directly ordered two portions of lunch and began eating...

The intense hunger made Ul completely disregard table manners. The clatter of bowls and chopsticks sounded like a battle. Regardless of portion size, Ul's eating style was now fully on par with Natsu from earlier.

After two portions of lunch, the hunger finally eased.

Then Ul ordered three more portions and sat down to eat slowly...

These lunch portions were made according to the appetite of a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old child, so five portions looked like a lot, but in reality, it was only about the amount for two normal adults.

Cho'Gath's passive ability was strong, but Ul's physical foundation was what it was. Eating this much at once had already reached the limit of his stomach.

Besides!

Even if Cho'Gath's passive could keep up with digestion, the energy digested couldn't be absorbed by Ul, because his current body was far too weak to absorb that much energy at once.

With a few portions of lunch as a foundation, Ul finally had the leisure to chat with the system!

"System, didn't you just say that devouring creatures can increase health points? Why haven't I seen my health points in the attribute panel yet?" Ul asked curiously.

[Please note, Host, the so-called "health points" is just a general term. To be precise, increasing health points means strengthening the human physique, including strength, speed, endurance, and so on.]

[The human body is an extremely mysterious and complex existence and cannot be simply expressed with data.]

[However, if Host needs it, this system can roughly construct a data template based on Host's physical condition, but this template is for reference only!]

Ul was a bit disappointed when he first saw the system's words, but as the system changed its tone, Ul was suddenly delighted and quickly said, "Then hurry up and construct it!"

The construction of a data panel had both pros and cons, but for now, Ul felt he needed this thing, because he urgently required something to benchmark his own strength!

Hearing Ul's words, the system panel's display immediately changed.

[Beginning data panel construction...]

[Data panel under construction...]

[Construction successful!]

The data panel was constructed quickly. Before long, a brand-new attribute panel appeared before Ul!

--

Invincible Passive System

Host: Wei Yi

Passive Ability: Void Stomach

Health Points: 4

Magic Power: 2

Spirit: 13

Magic Resistance: 0%

Armor: 0%

--

After Ul finished looking at this attribute panel, he was instantly stunned.

"This... the stats are way too low! System, what standard did you use to build this?" Ul spoke.

[The system builds the stat panel based on a normal adult standard. The first three stats have a standard value of 10 for a normal adult. As for why the last two stats are extremely low, it has little to do with the host. Normal human bodies do not possess magic resistance or armor. Even if they do, most are at 1%~2%. The host's magic resistance and armor are both below 1%. After rounding, the system directly took the zero value!]

"Rounding to zero?" Seeing the text on the system panel, the corners of Ul's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times.

"I'll let the HP slide, but my current mana is only 2. System, did you make a mistake?" In the end, Ul decided not to argue with this pragmatic system over the rounding issue, but he felt he needed to have a talk with it about his mana value being only 2.

[Let's set HP aside for now. So-called mana is essentially a form of energy. Host, do you think, given your current physical condition, how much mana your body can contain? Besides, the mana inside the host is currently in a state of 'mana backlash.' Even this 2 mana was obtained through the system's rounding. Otherwise, the host's actual mana value would be only a little over one...]

[Moreover, host, you should face reality. Don't you have any idea how much your own body is really worth right now?]

"Mana backlash?"

Ul decisively ignored the second half of the system's words and seized on a key term in that passage.

"System, you just said mana backlash? What does that mean?" Ul asked.

[This was discovered by the system just now when building the template for the host. As for so-called mana backlash? It means exactly what it says.]

A paragraph of text appeared on the system panel.

The words seemed somewhat unclear, but as someone who had lived through the era of web novels, Ul could roughly guess what this 'mana backlash' meant even with his ass.

And thus, Ul felt he might have found the real cause of his predecessor's death!
