Roger smiled as he entered the gold shop. Although gold shops were supervised by the government, certain private gold shops that were inherited from the time of independence had lax supervision on them. So if he bought gold from here, he was sure that no one would notice him and would keep him in check.
So for now, he wanted to get 10 gm of gold first as that was the minimum amount of gold that he could feel personally and this factor as the unit for strengthening condition of his power to strengthen the intent was solidified. So for him who needed to get 10,000 tons of gold to cross the level 10 limit, he wanted to know if the first skill will be good enough to let him get more gold faster.
If not, he will have to work hard for a long period of time. When the body reaches the limit, the lifespan reaches about 200 to 300 depending upon the gene strength of the body. When aura is filled in the body to the limit such that the first aura ring can be formed, the lifespan is increased by 10 times on the increased lifespan. This lifespan if 2000 at the minimum is increased by N times where n is the level of intent that he has.
So he who was fully prepared took all the money he had saved as he had not bad habit such as drinking or smoking like other children nor had used this money to buy a bike or laptop or phone as it did not matter to him for now. He had worked during part-time as he wanted to take care of his grandmother. He had withheld some amount of money making it up to 120,000 rubbles.
The amount of money needed to get 10 gm of gold as per the current cost was about 90,000. This might fluctuate depending on the gold market. So when he entered the shop and ordered pure 12gm of gold for safety purpose if the gold did not make up to 10 gm, he was asked to pay about 110,000 rubbles.
He was asked for what shape the gold had to be made in as this shop was that of a traditional goldsmith. He simply asked the person to give him a gold coin.
So when after waiting for a whole day in school, when he entered the shop and got the coin, he was happy to find that this gold coin did indeed make about 10.992 grams of gold. He understood the exact amount of gold as he had awakened the first skill due to intent which was the skill named gold detection that can detect where the gold was and its nature and features.
He had an additional skill which was not due to the intent reaching certain level but due to his nature of his origin power to increase the strength of his intent depending on the amount of gold he held, named gold storage. This skill allowed him to store as many amount of gold as long as it was 90% gold into his personal storage that only he could access, where times would not pass.
So he put the coin into his space. He smiled happily as he found that he had awakened the nature of his intent. Different intent had nature accompanying the intent other than the skills that would be awakened every ten levels. The killing intent had the nature of scaring away others into coma and even letting them die just by releasing the intent. The sword intent had the nature of adding sharpness and pierciness to each attack even when not using the weapons. Other intents such as life intent can have multiple nature among which, one nature is usually awakened, depending upon the way the intent was awakened; for life intent it can be healing or life-force enhancement.
As for what he had awakened as the nature in due to the intent of gold he had awakened, it was nothing more than that, he could control gold. As he had about 100 million joules of energy when he had 1 aura ring(10 tons of aura), he could directly apply force over any gold just by consuming aura to let the force act on the gold selected in any direction instantly or in a continuous manner over time. This was better than nothing as he could imagine a lot of methods to use this power.
Roger smiled happily as he now had one aura ring which meant that he need not worry about any guns or missiles as he had enough defensive power. His unlimited energy also ensured that he could output force of about 100,000 tons of force per moment.
He could feel his body becoming more perfect and his body feeling lighter. He felt better than anything as his body had reached the limit and broken the limit, getting an aura ring. The lifespan limit had broken such that he was indeed stronger in terms of genes although the increase in genes were temporary and would not be passed on to future generations until solidified in some manner. He could feel perfect control over his body in a deeper level and he found himself a lot better.
He took the gold piece he had and extended it to make a gold sheet that acted as a mirror. He found that his hair and eyes had become that of pure gold and his body had become smoother and sharper. He found the tone of his skin was as if that of refined copper and his muscles appeared more metallic.
He sighed as he had changed too much. He wrote a letter saying that he had broken his leg and that he was taking a month long leave. He put this letter in the post box and left for his home. He was the favourite of his teachers so even though he would not get any favouritism, he did get the right to take a leave whenever he wanted. He did not use this before but used it now.
He smiled looking at his image again. Anyone who looked at him would say that he was a noble person. He used his aura and intent and corrupted his dress and forged it and it changed into something more refined with a tint of gold linings here and there. He smiled as anyone with intent could do it. They could forge items as long as they were material without any special function needed. They could feed any kind of machine using intent such as cars that run on fuel or machines that run on electricity. He could also mimic items and make them using aura and they would act as aura structure with all features. Both could be combined to mimic and control any item such as guns to fire bullets or missiles and letting it hit anywhere he planned just by willing. For making a missile, he did not need to know much about it but just needed to see its structure. If he knew about it and if he created a new design theoretically, he could simply make a new structure and then mimic it and make it and let it perform as calculated. This feature was also enough for him to take a gun and shoot intent filled aura bullets.
He, like any other intent lord could heal all injuries and have his body reach perfect state in case of injury. Although this was possible for an aura lord, they could not regenerate beyond their human limit and aura alone could not heal all injuries. As a human, even if he had infinite aura, it could not heal regrow the cut off arm but if the arm was held back, aura could reattach it. But intent alone was more than enough to regrow the arm as long as he had enough energy and matter in his body. Aura could not heal injuries such as genetic injuries, cancer and tumors but intent filled aura would heal it.
So he was happy that he was an intent lord. As for if there was something above intent lord, he did not know and did not care as for now, he just wanted to live majestically as he wanted to rise higher. As for using intent to enslave other living beings, he planned to do so later as all those enslaved by him could also have the same level of intent that he had and would be absolutely loyal to him. They would not have any change except that they would be absolutely loyal to him. He will get some intent slaves when needed.
He did not plan to leave the room after he enters his home for a long time. As for the reason why his hair, eyebrows and eyes had changed color, he would say that he had dyed it and bought a coloured contact lens. If they ask why his skin was more shiny and refined and why he appeared leaner but stronger, he will say that he had taken the special hereditary ointment. Anyway after the national exam, he will not be staying in this town. As for his grandmother, he will take care of it later.
