MARVEL: start with limitless technique

After I brought Howard to the hospital, the doctor told me there was nothing wrong and that it was a simple concussion.

I sat by the hospital bed looking at the unconscious Howard. I was the only one in the room.

Jarvis told me that Howard had told him he could trust me. So Jarvis left me to stay at home to take care of the remains of the house and carry Howard to the hospital. So after carrying him on my back for a while, I hailed a taxi and brought him to the hospital.

As far as I knew Howard, he would be the last person to completely trust an untrustworthy person like me.

In fact, given that he's a millionaire and a master at lying, maybe this whole fainting thing was planned. It's quite possible that a man like Howard could plan something like this to make me feel trust in him.

Of course, this doesn't bother me a bit. I looked at the mission tab, which I had gotten used to ignoring because it had been there for so long.

-Protect Howard Stark during the system upgrade.

As I recall, the reward increased with the number of times I protected him and against how much danger.

Hmm, I wonder if the reward will keep increasing as long as I protect him even if I'm the one who put him in danger?

Anyway, I need to put the system mission on the back burner and focus on my own plans. Of course, since I can't go anywhere right now, I will continue to use the general cultivation technique.

----------A few hours later

As I was focusing on the general cultivation technique, I felt a strange connection between me and the curses again, so I stopped focusing on the general cultivation technique and concentrated my feelings on this strange connection.

After a while, I realized that what I was feeling this time was the blood samples taken from me. For some reason, all my blood samples were slowly producing cursed energy and I guessed that within a day or so, each sample would host the birth of a new curse.

Fortunately, as I continued to focus, I could clearly sense the location of each sample.

One of the samples was in the field I had just destroyed, another was far away from the city, and the others were in a cluster somewhere.

"What is that blue thing?"

At the sound of the voice next to me, I turned my head to look at Howard, who was trying to lean against the headboard, then crushed the blue in my fingers and destroyed it.

"You're finally awake."

I still feel a little guilty for destroying his house and putting him in danger.

"Apparently you're not going to tell me. You know, people are usually nicer after destroying someone else's house, turning their valuable research into dust, and putting that person in the hospital."

"Sigh..."

 " Seriously? After all that, the only answer you have for me is sigh?"

"I'll just try to explain as much as I can about what's going on in your house, but I don't think you'll understand."

"Tell me about these purple creatures. Why am I the only one who can see them? Jarvis told me he didn't see that giant fish."

Howard can see the curses? But how? Isn't he just an ordinary human being? Well, maybe he touched me while I was asleep or... Uh, that's right, he was splattered with the blood of the first curse I killed.

"It's a lot easier to explain if you've seen them."

For the next twenty minutes, I told Howard a ridiculous tale.

I told him that I had actually been rescued at the end of my kidnapping adventure by a Japanese swordsman and that the swordsman's name was Gojo Satoru.

According to the story, this swordsman gathered the special children he rescued together with me and taught us the swordsmanship he inherited from his grandfather, Kamado Tanjiro. After a long and hard process, each of us, hundreds of children, mastered the use of the sword.

Finally, our master taught us how to hunt curses and took us to a village, but as luck would have it, it was Sukuna, the god of all curses, who was emitting the energy of a weak curse.

Thousands of meters of land turned to dust as my master fought Sukuna, all the while telling us to run away. When all the children went to help our master, saying they could not leave our savior behind, I was the only one who chose to run.

When I saw Howard looking at me with a strange expression, I realized that he could not comprehend my intelligence, so I continued to tell the story.

In just a few seconds Sukuna came to me after killing our master and all the other children. At the time Sukuna said that I was the only one smart enough to escape and let me go.

After I pointed out the part where Sukuna praised my intelligence and I told Howard to change the way he looked at me, I continued to tell the story.

The rest of the story was pretty classic. After practicing for a long time to gain the favor of my friends and my Master, I combined all types of swordsmanship to create the Sun's Breath technique and spent years searching for Sukuna to get my revenge.

When it came to what happened in his house, I told him that Sukuna had placed a curse on my heart just before he died, so the only hope for the Cursed race was for me to lose my temper and die.

"So if you die or get angry, those curses will come back and eat people?"

"Ow no no no. What happened in your house was the result of Sukuna underestimating my genius. I have completely cleansed the curse from my heart and now his technique belongs to me. That blue thing you see there was the technique he used before he died and there are more, but I can't use them now. In short, when I die I will turn to dust and both demon hunters and curses will be gone."

Proud of myself for managing to tell the whole story without laughing, I turned to look at Howard's face, mutated with astonishment.
