Chapter 285: Mythical nut (1/2)

Standing in his room, Ben's eyes glowed as he gazed at the magical leaf in his hand. 'My first legendary item! My first artifact! Baby, we goin' from trash to treasure!'

Of course, the legendary rating wasn't everything. He still needed to see how useful it was in practice, which is why like any good movie scientist, he planned to test it on himself...

First though, he wanted to understand it better.

Ben raised an eyebrow and glanced at the leaf. ”Can you talk?”

…

”Is there a hidden master inside of you?”

...

”No? Then in the case you're really a comatose beauty, would you like one?”

...

Getting no response, Ben sighed. ”What a boring artifact…”

It failed the first test but Ben didn't have high hopes for that anyway. Instead, he focused on experimenting with its ability to release stored energy, which appeared to be the treasure's main use. At the moment, having developed a mental connection to it, Ben could also tell it was full of energy, which meant he could give it a proper spin. So, while holding it in his hand, Ben activated the ability with his mind! 'Energy release!'

Right away, Ben's eyes widened as the appearance of the leaf changed. Whereas it was fading in and out of visibility before, now, it released a radiant green glow! At the same time, his hand received a surge of warm energy!

Sensing that, he understood its range of effect. The system mentioned it would be very small and that was accurate, its energy releasing in a sphere with a radius of a few inches.

On paper, all this seemed unimpressive, and it would've been, if Ben's face wasn't twisted with a stupid lob-sided grin! Because his hand--felt like it was having an orgasm!

Ben hurried to turn the energy release off and after a few seconds, his expression returned to a less disgusting one...

Still shocked though, he stared at the leaf, the size of its glow having diminished to barely perceptible. However, he could also sense its energy continuing to dissipate, like a ship with a leak taking on water; an unstoppable process. Yet, the effect just now, was remarkable!

It was like his hand received a massage while currents of pleasant electricity ran through it, soothing all its sense receptors while also stimulating it. On top of that, he'd only activated the energy halfway! If he turned it to full power…

Ben narrowed his eyes. Now that he was pretty sure it was safe, it was time to do trials with more participants and he had one special test subject in mind. Smirking, Ben glanced down. Of course, it was his little brother…

Ben needed to know what the leaf's energy would do on a special region with more sensitive nerve endings. Hence, he'd try a meat massage!

Before that though, he tested another function of the item first. 'Dematerialize!'

Under Ben's eyes, the leaf proceeded to vanish, until it soon disappeared. This time though, it remained that way, failing to re-emerge, leading to Ben gazing at his empty hand, wondering where it was. Then out of nowhere, he received a strange feeling, a perception like a sixth sense. He looked around, hoping he wasn't being trolled like Bruce Willis was by Haley Joel Osment in the movie...

Ben shook his head. 'Obviously, the kid knew Bruce was a ghost, right?

Epic troll job, little man...'

Ben didn't want to end up like Bruce Willis, washed up and doing low budget movies just for paychecks like an untalented Nicolas Cage...

That's why Ben was wary of the leaf's intentions...

So, he examined his sensation of it. He could tell it didn't exist in any physical location, but more as a perpetual thought connecting to his consciousness. When he focused on it, he was able to even visualize a shape in his mind, and as it became clear, his eyes gleamed! It was the leaf!

Ben didn't understand what form it existed in. It was like guessing whether Jonah Hill would show up skinny-fat or obese...

However, it was there, and he could sense its properties, including the fact that it was still bleeding energy. That being the case, Ben didn't want to waste any more time lest the energy ran out. ”It seems it worked. Then…”

Before the next step, he did a quick prayer that there wouldn't be any d*ck disasters…

Then, he glanced down and visualized the leaf…on his groin! 'Materialize!'

Now, he could sense it coming into existence. Although it was under his pants so he wasn't able to see it, Ben felt the leaf adhering to his physical body, even giving him a tickle that made his eye twitch, because the location of this tickle…was on his schvontz!

He'd expected this though, and even...looked forward to it?
