My Talent's Name Is Generator

But I also noticed something else, the absorption wasnʼt entirely efficient. Some energy still leaked away, and the process felt rough, unpolished. Still, that didnʼt matter. Once my talent leveled up, I knew it would refine itself. It was only a matter of time before things started working perfectly.

Almost an hour later I stopped, letting out a deep breath as I shook out my arms. My muscles still felt like they had more to give, but I had gathered enough data for now. Time to check the results.

I pulled up my status. My gaze snapped to the Essence value.

3/5.

”Hell yeah.”

That was way better than I expected. The talent was still just Level 1, yet it had managed to absorb a good amount of energy. If I had to guess, maybe only 10% of what I generated actually got stored.

I grinned. Someday, when this thing hits its peak…

I pictured it—me floating in the sky, an meteor hurtling toward me at insane speed. And instead of dodging? Iʼd just absorb all of it like it was nothing.

The sheer thought made me chuckle.

”People would lose their damn minds. A giant space rock about to obliterate everything then boom….it just stops. Mid-air. Floating. Like, ʼNah, Iʼll take that.ʼ”

I shook my head, still grinning. That was a long way off. But the fact that it wasnʼt impossible? That was enough to keep me pushing forward.

”So maybe another hour of intense workout, and I could completely fill the Essence.”

I grabbed a bottle, took a few gulps of water, and wiped the sweat off my forehead.

I realized there was no time to waste. If I could fully charge the core now, Iʼd finally get to test Essence Transfer—and maybe, just maybe, push my Dexterity to 10.

With that goal locked in, I rolled my shoulders, took a deep breath, and got back to work.

After another hour of intense training, I stood there, breathing heavily, sweat dripping down my face. My eyes locked onto my status.

Essence: 5/5.

I knew it was full because of the soothing heat in my heart and the way the glow in my eyes faded, an unmistakable sign that the Generator had deactivated.

Finally, it was time for Essence Transfer.

I willed it to activate, and all 5 units flowed into Dexterity and I checked my status.

Essence: 0/5

Dexterity: 14

A subtle shift ran through my body muscles adjusting, nerves sharpening, movements feeling lighter and more responsive. It wasnʼt dramatic, but I felt the difference.

Of course, I knew the boost wouldnʼt last.

Only 10% of the 5 unit transferred would become permanent, just 0.5 points.

But if I used the enhanced Dexterity to train harder, generate more energy, and refill my Essence, I could keep cycling this process—a loop that would let me push my stats far beyond normal limits.

And so I activated the Generator again.

”Power Up!”

Without wasting a second, I launched into high-speed combat drills, shadowboxing at blistering speeds, rapid sprints across the training area, pushing my reactions and movement to their absolute limits.

My strikes became a blur, my steps barely touching the ground before I was already in motion again. And during that time, my Dexterity stat kept tickling down. In fact, it was completely spent by the halfway mark.

Two hours flew by.

By the end of it, I was spent. My Dexterity boost let me move faster, react quicker, but my current stamina wasnʼt built for this pace. Still, I had pushed myself as far as I could.

I exhaled sharply and pulled up my status.

I noticed my Dexterity had gone from 9 to 9.5, a permanent increase of 0.5 and the Essence was full again. Without hesitation, I transferred it back into Dexterity, pushing it up to 14.5. A rush of heightened control and fluidity coursed through me, but I knew it was only temporary. Finally, I let out a breath and relaxed.

If my calculations were right, in another hour, the temporary increase would trickle down, granting me another permanent 0.5 boost and bringing my Dexterity to its peak value of 10.

I grinned.

Almost there.
