6 06. Overpowered, Genius, Big Brother.

Upon arriving before the portrait, Luna was awestruck by what she was seeing. Her mouth fell open as she tried to comprehend how it was even remotely possible for Zach to make a lifelike portrait of her.

She turned to her brother with one pressing thought. 'Is this really my brother? Since when did Big Brother become a genius?'

Then she returned her gaze to the portrait.

Although the portrait wasn't imbued with magic because Zach hadn't awakened his mana core yet, it still looked as though he had used magic to draw and paint a perfect portrait of Luna.

Luna was simply amazed at how Zach paid very close attention to details that she wasn't even aware of while creating the portrait.

"I love it so much, big brother. It's the best portrait you've ever made."

"Can I show everyone else?" Luna happily asked, anxious to see the look on everyone's faces when they saw how beautifully Zach drew her portrait.

"Yes, you can. It's all yours now."

"Thank you so much, big brother!" Luna thanked Zach and hurried out of his room, eagerly walking straight to Aurora's room to show her how talented Zach had become.

Although it was getting late and everyone was preparing to sleep, Luna wasn't going to let this hinder her from showing her sisters the masterpiece Zach had created.

Zach smiled as he watched Luna leave his room in a hurry.

It had been a long time since anyone had ever showed this much excitement about his drawings and Zach couldn't deny how pleased he was to see it.

However, a notification suddenly popped up in front of him.

[Congratulations, you have successfully acquired a new physique and bloodline.]

[You have successfully acquired the Pink Fox beast Physique.]

[You have successfully acquired the Pink Fox Bloodline.]

[You have successfully acquired a list of Extra skills.]

[Extra skills: Enhanced Sense, Enhanced Stamina, Enhanced Reflexes, Enhanced Stealth, Enhanced Agility, Predatory Instinct Enhanced Strength.]

[Your current Attributes have successfully increased.]

"Wait what?" Zach exclaimed in shock.

"How is this possible?"

"All I did was complete a portrait, so how did I obtain a new physique and bloodline?"

[You can do this with the aid of the gift the goddess gave you.]

"A gift?"

"I thought you were the gift?"

[Indeed, but aside from me, you were also given an active skill, called God's Hand.]

"An active skill, huh?"

"Can I see the details of this skill?"

[Yes, you can.] The system replied and the details of the skill were displayed in front of him.

[God's hand: Is a skill that grants you the ability to obtain the physique, bloodline, life skills and attributes of anyone you touch with your hand. Once contact has been made, these skills and attributes will be twice the level of the original owner. However, if the attributes and bloodlines are below that of the host, then the skill won't absorb it.]

"Woah, isn't this a bit too overpowered?"

"I can obtain new bloodlines and attributes just by touching someone," Zach couldn't express how grateful he was to the goddess for providing him with such a skill.

However, while his mind drifted away, the system emerged in his mind once again.

[Congratulations! You have obtained +30 fate points.]

[Luna's favourable impression of you has increased by 2%.]

[Luna's overall favorability is now 10%]

"Huh? Fate point?"

"Favorability?"

"What do they mean?"

[<Fate Points (FP)> Is linked to the impression others have of you. With every increase in favorability, your fate point increases as well. Their impression ranges from respect to fear, and as long as it favours you, your fate points will increase. Also, Fate points can be used to purchase mana combat techniques, active skills, unique skills and martial arts techniques that have been unlocked and stored in the system's store.]

"Woah, that's amazing."

"So, in a way, the fate point is a form of currency?"

[Indeed] The system replied, but Zach noticed an attribute that was still empty.

He asked about the attribute and the system replied once again.

[Attribute Points (AP)> are the points acquired immediately after levelling up. You will receive ten attribute points every time you level up.]

Reading through the information displayed before him, Zach finally understood what both features were. However, he wasn't really pleased to see this.

"10%? That's very low."

Unlike all the other girls in the mansion, Luna's impression of him was supposed to be the highest because of how close he was with her, but it seemed even her impression of him still hadn't exceeded 10% and that wasn't something to be proud of.

"If Luna's favourable impression of me is 10%, I wonder how little everyone else thinks of me?" He thought to himself but decided not to ponder too much about it.

For now, there were a lot of things he needed to change to guarantee a better life, not only for himself but also for the girls living in the mansion.

He had already made a mental list of the things he needed to do and change, and the first thing he had to do was secure a very good source of income.

Having a good source of income and preventing his Aunt's death were high on his priority list.

Although Zach was living in a mansion with everyone else, they weren't particularly wealthy.

The mansion they were currently living in was actually a gift from one of the influential families in the city.

The Wellington family.

In the rank of nobility, Mr Wellington was a baron, and one day his wife visited a city which was later attacked by demons.

The demons cast a spell, inflicting on a quarter of the city's population, a deadly disease.

Most of the healers the Baron contacted had either been too busy to help or incapable of healing his wife, and some completely chose to avoid healing his wife even though Mr Wellington promised to pay them a huge sum of money.

Those who refused to heal his wife recognized the disease affecting her, and casting a spell to heal her wasn't particularly easy since it could cause a backlash that would infect the healers with the same disease as well.
