5 Core Function

The Amarnath mountain stood tall and erect that pierced through the clouds on the plateau. In the whole Federation Amarnath mountain stood the highest, at the foot of the mountain was the inner area of Arsln Family where as you go deeper into the mountain, it will be the core area.

At the foot of the mountain, in one of the exquisite courtyards an young man with a delicate build was sweating all over.

Uh! Auh!

Lucas tried hard to control his breathing, today early morning Lucas woke up early and started to train, his thin body screamed at him to sleep but the previous trip to Underhood market effectively shown how weak his body is.

As they say a healthy body a healthy mind.

But Lucas far overestimated his body capabilities, due to the him being enamoured by Runes in the past he seriously neglected his body and so his condition seriously deteriorated.

Lucas sat down cross legged and tried to meditate according to Foundation Meditation method taught by the family.

Time continue to pass by, after an hour of meditation Lucas stood up. Looking at the rising sun, a new vigor seemed to be rising within him.

'Ting!!'

The SmartWatch placed on the table blinked showing the arrival of new messages. Looking through, there were 3 messages, two from his cousins and the last and the latest one from Hilven.

Lucas right away opened and read the message.

A holographic screen showed the selected contents. It was a report stating about the results of investigation. They weren't able to find any leads on either Fedrick nor the masked men. There were details about their whereabouts before the fight but Lucas couldn't find anything crucial.

Suddenly one information quickly caught his attention. "A month ago, suspected to be Fedrick, a man capable of swiftly traveling through earth was found to be in a large fight concerning some Purple Sheen Grass. The fight caused many casualties and the whole truck containing materials was robbed."

Below in red writing the truth of the events were listed showing the tug of war between two families in the Rainlight region.

There were many number of similar situation happening everywhere, everyone wanted to be powerful, so everyone was hungry for resources but not everyone could have it.

Even though he didn't found anything relevant, he had a nagging feeling that he was missing something and things were not simple.

Lucas closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair and quietly started to contemplate on his thoughts.

After some time he opened his eyes and he looked at the report shown on the holographic screen, his eyes had a confusing look.

Shaking his head he went over to see the messages of his cousin. His two cousin were the children of his uncle Merlin Arsln. His uncle is a business tycoon, he is the owner of one of the most profitable business in Federation 'Evenrise Corporation'.

His son the eldest one Cayle Arsln is a pure battle maniac and have just graduated from Great Desolate University, his sister Sherlin Arsln, now studying about Shamanic Arts in Sun Moon Academy.

Both of there message was same.

Have you chosen??

He smiled and replied. "No. Any recommendations"

The next instant Cayle messaged. "The Great Desolate University. A man needs to train his body"

Lucas blinked and laughed, at the same time Sherlin also replied. "Come over here, I will take care of you. I have many beautiful juniors, you will certainly be interested."

Lucas could only shake his head, without delay he took of his shirt and started to walk towards the bath. Looking at his body he could only sigh heavily.

'I should train my body, hmm, there may be some good technique for body training. I should ask System about it.'

Abruptly Lucas stopped.

"Damn how could I forget."

Inwardly he called for System. 'System since you are fused with me there should be some advantages right? What can you do? Is there any adverse effects due to the fusion. Tell me everything.'

[Ding! Yes, There are only advantages and only advantages.]

Lucas scoffed inwardly, 'So I have to find it myself. It's alright as long as no one back-stab me everything is alright.'

[Ding! System have 3 core functions.]

[Ding! Scan, Analyze and Assimilation]

[Ding! At present only 20% of the true power can be asserted. Full operation possible after 10 days.]

Lucas carefully thought over the details presented.

"Explain me the Core Functions."

[Ding! Scan: Capable of scanning over all information host received through host's senses.]

Lucas felt he understood something but inside he felt. "It wouldn't be that simple, right?"

Lucas carefully asked, "Do you mean to say you will scan the information received by my senses. Like taste, sight, touch, smell, and sound."

[Ding! Exactly.]

"Exactly my a**. Damn it. Even without you I can do it."

Lucas huffed angrily, "What's the damn use of the scan?"

[Ding! Scan provides information or data to Analyze.]

From the beginning, he thought the system would have some kind of overpowered powerful ability. The System fused with him due to fortune or misfortune, but he believed, no he hoped that system would have an OP ability.

But reality struck hard. Lucas couldn't help himself from cursing. Now he could only hope the next function would be at least useful.

[Ding! Analyze: Capable of analyzing all the information.]

Lucas weakly asked. 'Care to give an example.'

System replied with the same indifferent mechanic voice.

[Ding! With the combined ability of Scan and Analyze the learning speed will dramatically increase. Previously for the 15 years host had 10% partial passive effect.]

Lucas was delighted by this news. System continued, interrupting his celebration.

[Ding! Assimilation: Capable of Assimilation.]

Lucas was again doubtful, 'Assimilation? Can you give any examples?'

[Ding! Potion effects are utilized completely. Toxins and dangerous substance in the body are automatically removed or expelled.]

Lucas eyes shined "Hmm, a very useful one."

[Ding! Abilities will get stronger and may produce variations according to the development of host's individual power.]

Lucas pondered over the term individual power. Suddenly he remembered Hilven's words.

'System is it [Scan] that helped me in seeing the battle and hearing the conversation that day.'

[Ding! Yes.]

Lucas became confused he couldn't help but ask. "How? No one could hear anything much that day. There were other people other than me present that day and many more stronger than me. I have noticed that many of them was possibly in the peak of Lower Realm. There were many fighters among them and each and everyone of them have stronger and sensitive senses."

[Ding! No matter which profession they are, the Lower Realm for every profession are in a way similar. Only difference that can be found is Knights and Warriors focus in training their body to mortal peak and polishing their internal energy, whereas Priests or Shamans focus on training their mind and spirits but in the cases of Mages they focus their Mind and senses, mana is purified as a combined result.'

[Ding! Ability Scan rely on host's senses and your senses are already at the peak of mortal realm. Not just host, all human and similar beings have high senses, but is locked. By training it is possible to unlock the senses step by step.]

[Ding! Example: An ordinary experienced hunter with more than 10 years of experience in the wilds have better senses than Mid stage Warriors.]

Lucas was still confused and he asked aloud " Isn't this instinct?"

[Ding! Scan utilize the wind vibrations acting on the body through sense of touch, magical sense to detect magic fluctuations. Any and every chaotic and ordered sounds falling in the ear. Analyze function use these information, re-engineer, backtrack and try to decode and filter the necessary information.]

[Ding! Host still cannot perceive the senses and need training. But using the Scan it is possible to skip the training and directly unlock and efficiently use.]

Lucas was knocked senseless by system. He weakly said after a brief moment of thinking.

"You're awesome, System you're awesome."
