Chapter 25：More gifts from grandpa (2/2)

[The cape is in another dimension. The only link to this dimension of us is the small part that touches the back of your neck]

”So it's indeed an illusion?”

[Yes and no. It's a very special biotech life form that lives between dimensions]

”So what's the use of this apart from looking cool?”

[...]

”Don't give me this guilt silence. None?”

[...]

”Geez...”

Mack could not believe it. All this high-tech just to look cool?

~sigh~

'Well, let's see... Cape Active'

~vuush~

Mack heard a small noise and looked behind himself but could not see the cape anymore.

”Don't tell me .... no use again?”

Mack said aloud, but for some reason it felt odd.

[Look at your hands]

Mack looked at his own hands but saw nothing.

In more appropriate words, he didn't saw his own hands. He looked down at his body and could not see his body either.

Now he realized. The cape made him invisible, even to himself.

”And I can't hear my voice. Now I know what was odd when I talked before.”

[Correct]

”It's weird to talk and don't hear feedback. That must be the same feeling as deaf people. It's so hard.”

'Why I'm even talking if I don't hear anything? Such a morom'

'Cape Sleep'

~voosh~

The Cape disappeared, and Mack felt better. It was very strange to not see or hear himself.

”It's a very agonizing feeling, to tell the truth. But is indeed a fucking exceptional cape”

[It not actually made you invisible but more like it tries to move you between dimensions at a very high frequency]

”So that's why the weird feeling I was having”

[An important note is. Do not try to fight while in this state. And do not try anything way too complex either. It may disarrange your body and kill you]

”So this thing is more for sneak operations or run than to try to confuse the enemy in a fight. Got that.”

[Yes. Please bear that in mind. Or else you will become so disfigured that not even your enemies will recognize you anymore. That, if you keep living]

”There is a threshold I must avoid?”

[Slowly walking is good. Run is not. Don't jump. Don't fight. Don't grab anything. The ideal and more safe way to use it is to stay still while in active mode]

”Gotcha!”

'Cape Alive'

~fluushh~

”Dammed aliens. The cape is indeed cool”

Said Mack, looking at how cool was the cape fluttering like it was alive. He wished to have a mirror to see how he looked now.

Then his gaze fell on another box. He still had more gifts from grandpa.
