As I gained three new Skills, I continued to consume the big pile of Mana Cores.
No one else was able to actually eat them, so they were all for me.
Benladann saw as I ate them, admiring how I crushed them inside my jaw and swallowed them.
She noticed that my body was exuding mana.
"How cool, I wish I could also eat Mana Cores…" she said.
"Well, I don't think you would need it, you are already super talented, and the Mold is strong too. You are easily catching up to me merely by cultivation alone," I said, as we walked inside the Ice Fortress.
Ding!
Another one… And this one is… I can modify the size of my body? Well, that's certainly something…
Maybe I can now enter towns if I reduce my size and pretend to be a pet-winged lizard?
Ding!
Eh?
System! Why did that happen just right now?
And you can just do that?!
You've gotten pretty talkative. Wait, is this… Great Sage-sama?!
I guess it was too good to be true.
Oh…
Okay, I am sorry! Don't get mad…
And it doesn't answer me.
It also seems to be able to read my thoughts.
Well, in some way, a System is like an AI, right? An interface after all.
So developing something of a mind by itself seems like the right next step.
Alright, Analyze [System].
Status Panel: The Ability to see your own strengths and abilities as a Status Panel. It also grants the Title Function, amongst others.
Analyze: The Ability to Analyze anything within the System or your surroundings. The capacity to see anything through the System.
Extra Effect: You can also see other beings' abilities and capabilities through a status, despite them not having the System.
Ability Development: The Ability to develop other Abilities through a Level System, alongside repeated use, certain mastery and comprehension of such Abilities is needed, the growth speed of Abilities varies greatly.
Extra Effect: By training Abilities with others, their ability to learn new Abilities and Magic increases.
Artificial Intelligence: A special A.I. will assist you with anything regarding the System.
Oh, it's there… Since when?
Okay… Now you made me feel bad. I am sorry. Can you forgive me, System?
So I should treat you badly then?
Alright then.
"Drake?"
Benladann kept glaring at me as I looked like I was lost in thoughts while being inside the Ice Fortress.
"Oh… Sorry, I was just… err… lost in thoughts," I said.
"I see… So what do we do now?" asked Benladann, resting over the floor.
"For now you go take a bath, I will clean myself over a river I detected a bit far away from here, I'll be back," I said.
"Alright! I am hungry, after that let's try out the jelly!" said Benladann, as she rushed upstairs and went to the Ice Bathroom. She needed to boil snow into the water to take a bath, so it would take her some time.
"For sure!" I said.
I quickly flew out of the Ice Fortress, the battle we had wasn't that intense, but I was covered in gooey slime, and I wanted to get it out of my body. Taking a bath in the nearby river was good enough for me.
I quickly landed over it and began to wash over it, as I started to ask a few things to the A.I. while catching fish.
"System, what day is it? What hour is it? Where are we?" I asked.
"So I guess you are not all-knowing," I said.
"I see…"
In the end, I checked my new Skills.
[Devour: Level 1]
Grants the user the ability to digest and consume anything, while gaining a certain amount of power from devoured things if they possess enough power. This can be manifested in stats, world source energy, or Skills.
[Mimicry: Level 1]
An Ability inherent to mimic-type creatures. Grants the ability to perfectly mimic the shape and form of a being in front of them temporarily. It does not grant any kind of change in strength, and it is often used to deceive others.
[Body Size Alteration: Level 1]
An Ability that beings capable of changing their size possess. Grants the user the ability to change its size up to a certain height by using Mana.
…
Huh… Devour looks quite overpowered, but it was something I already had anyways within Immortal Body, now it just became an official Skill, I guess?
"System, can you fuse Mimicry with Body Size Alteration?" I asked.
So I can fuse Skills! Since when?
