Chapter 1142: Chapter 1075 “Blessing Words”.
He had experienced this too many times already. The pattern behind his abilities was still unclear. Sometimes they appeared after important events, sometimes after emotional moments, and other times with no obvious cause at all.
At this point, he simply accepted it as part of himself, something he could use, but not fully understand.
The name alone made him pause.
It sounded simple, almost harmless, but at the same time, it carried a weight he couldn’t ignore. Unlike most of his other abilities, this one felt less like a tool and more like something that could directly influence others. Not through force, but through something more subtle just like Aura of Influence but this Blessing words feel like Active ability instead passive like Aura of Influence.
Those words that Zaboru always said as his signature catch phrase "You are Very cool" had now become the trigger for this ability. Whenever Zaboru said it to someone, that person’s spirit, ability to learn, motivation, and even their hidden potential would increase by an insane margin. It wasn’t just a simple boost, it felt like something inside them was being awakened or pushed forward. Zaboru also understood that the effect wasn’t equal for everyone. It depended heavily on how close he was to that person and how genuinely impressed he was with them.
In his mind, there were already a few individuals who stood out as the "Blessing Words" told him. Right now, the number was still small, but he could clearly feel it. There were four people that he unconsciously recognized as his "disciples." This ability itself seemed to acknowledge them, mapping them as something like "God of Games Disciples."
These people would receive a permanent enhancement from this buff. Their ability to learn would improve significantly, along with their motivation and overall potential. On top of that, there would be slight improvements to their physical condition and health, a small but noticeable boost to memory, and an increase in creativity, especially in areas related to video game development. None of these effects were temporary. Once applied, they would stay and continue shaping the person over time, almost like a constant, quiet push forward in their growth.
Even so, the list appeared clearly in his mind, as if the ability itself was presenting it to him without room for doubt: Ayumi Renkonan, Zenshin Renkonan, Sanika Renkonan, Hidetaka Miyazaki, Yugo Kanai, and Yuki Ryonaku.
’Hmm... it seems these are the people I truly taught properly. But why Just them?’ Zaboru thought. ’And why someone like Hideo Kojima, Shigeru Miyamoto, Satoru Iwata, John Carmack, or John Romero? I’ve worked with them and taught them many things too, so why aren’t they on the list?’
The answer was not about skill, time spent, or even contribution. It was about perspective. It depended on how those people viewed Zaboru himself.
Not just respect, but deep admiration. Not just acknowledgment, but genuine awe. A level of gratitude or belief so strong that it shaped how they saw him as a person.
Those who simply worked with him, even closely, would not qualify unless that emotional connection existed. Only those who truly looked up to him, almost instinctively, would be recognized by the ability.
He leaned back slightly, letting that thought settle, then began going through the names one by one in his head, trying to make sense of it more deeply rather than just accepting it at surface level.
’Zenshin... he’s still not even three years old, but he’s a genius. And more than that, he knows I have knowledge far beyond normal. As my son, it makes sense he would look up to me like that.’ He narrowed his eyes slightly. ’Kids like him... they don’t just admire, they absorb everything. That influence probably runs deeper than I think.’
He paused slightly at the next name, his expression turning more thoughtful.
Then his expression turned a bit more amused.
Finally, his thoughts settled on the last name, and his expression softened again.
Zaboru exhaled quietly, having gone through the entire list more carefully this time. The pattern was clearer now, not just logically, but emotionally.
Zaboru chuckled. It wasn’t just "You Are Very Cool." Another one of his catchphrases, "Just Buy It, Okay?", had also been enhanced by this ability. If Zaboru said it to a large group, the desire for people to purchase ZAGE products would noticeably increase. However, it wasn’t brainwashing. It didn’t force anyone to act against their will. Instead, it amplified their existing trust and interest in ZAGE products, making them more inclined to buy, almost like a strong but natural suggestion rather than direct control.
He let out a quiet laugh.
’But... I can probably spam "Just Buy It, Okay?" in ZAGE stores, right?’ he muttered, clearly amused. ’It feels like the requirement for these two phrases is different. "You Are Very Cool" needs intent and connection... but "Just Buy It, Okay?" feels more like a suggestion type effect. Less personal, more... general influence.’
Zaboru leaned back and thought, ’What if I start saying other phrases more often to the public? Would they become Blessing Words too?’ He paused for a moment, considering the idea more seriously. ’No... I don’t think it works that way. There’s probably a condition behind it. Better not risk it. For now, "You Are Very Cool" and "Just Buy It, Okay?" are more than enough.’
’Still... what if I could influence other catchphrases? Like those random meme lines...’ he thought, amused. ’What if something like "Why Are You Gay?" or "It Ain’t Much, But Honest Work" or even "Well... That Escalated Quickly" actually carried effects?’
What if one line made people more honest? What if another made them calmer, or more confident without realizing why? Or worse... what if the wrong phrase caused confusion or chaos instead of something useful?
’Yeah... this kind of thing isn’t something to mess around with lightly,’ he thought. Even if it sounded funny at first, the consequences could be unpredictable depending on how the ability interpreted those words.
Then he shook his head lightly.
But then, suddenly, Zaboru remembered something from his previous life, and it made him cackle softly.
Zaboru leaned back a bit, amused by the thought. ’That was such a meme masterpiece...’ he muttered in his head. The way those two spells worked together, one creating chaos and the other restoring order, felt almost absurdly elegant. .
Then his expression shifted slightly, becoming more thoughtful. ’If my "Blessing Words" can evolve... then theoretically, it might reach something similar. Not exactly the same, but... influencing emotions, behavior, or mental state through words alone...’
’If that’s true, then I need to be careful with how I use it,’ he thought. ’This isn’t just a simple buff anymore. Depending on how it grows, it could become something much more powerful.’
Still, after a moment, he let out a quiet chuckle again, shaking his head slightly.
Zaboru smiled, then quickly returned to playing "Yuusha Monogatari." Getting a new ability was cool, sure, but right now he just wanted to enjoy the game a little more. For a moment, he set everything else aside, the thoughts about abilities, disciples, and strange conditions fading into the background.
"Yeah... let’s play a bit more," he murmured quietly, leaning slightly forward as he continued.
