[—You've leveled Up]
A pop up screen from my player system popped up again while I was skinning the body of a tiger beast.
Something that I noticed about the plunder functions was that the raw materials weren't given much priority for plundering at all making it so I lost them.
I mean I did gain soul beads and a couple stats that I couldn't use because of my race limit so those were currently useless to me.
And I needed the raw material to create items with the help of my new system function, Crafting.
I wanted that gun really bad as now I had to resort to using [Material Manipulation] to create impossibly sharp swords out of rocks and wood.
But I came up with a way to counter this.
So I learnt a couple new skills after a couple trials and errors.
[—Skills.
~Skinning—[Max] Gives the host the mastery and skill to skin and collect the raw materials of any biological creature.
Sub-Skill—Prime-Grade: All material gained from any creature you skin will be of the high grade with close to no imperfections or damage.
~Butchering—[Max]: Gives the host the mastery and skill to butcher any biological creature to gain raw material from it.
Sub-Skill—Perfected Cut: All material cut will have the same properties and grade as when they were initially cut, meaning all items gained will not spoil unless the user wants them to and their quality is always higher then normal.
~Foraging—[Max]: Gives the host the mastery, skill and knowledge in the ability to forage for any material and also grants an archive of knowledge over any item able to be foraged which is mostly plant life.
Sub-Skill—Extract: Allows the user the ability to perfectly 'pick' anything of plant biology perfectly without damaging them.
~Tracking—[Max]: Grants the host the ability to follow the trail of anything and track it so long as they leave 'tracks'
Sub-Skill— Intuitive Mark: Allows the host to mark certain entities and gain the vague direction leading towards them.]
These skills especially tracking have helped in my hunt for material to experiment with by a lot but still I haven't found any creature I could assimilate it's DNA with mine to pass through my genetic cap.
' At this point I might as well create a chimera race and intergrate with that if I don't find a suitable race.' I thought with a sigh as I finished butchering and collecting every single piece of meat, organs and blood on the creature before looking up and seeing it getting a bit dark.
' Well let's end the hunt for today...I have enough bio-mass for my experiments.' I thought as I started walking off after casting a simple [Cleaning] spell on myself.
—12 Minutes Later—
After a bit I made it to my base and after checking up on the prisoner and finding her still unconscious or more like playing unconscious I decided to look at my gains from the player system.
'Player Status.' I thought and a screen suddenly appeared before me.

—Free Stats: 51 |~
' Oh yeah...I also have the disassembly talent...even though I haven't used it yet.' I thought and dismissed the talent as I could already do what it did with my newly created skills but I would test it out next time to see if there was a difference.
And regarding my stats and me leveling up I paid it no mind.
I gained a lot of levels in that one hunting spree even though the creatures weren't that powerful, they were still huge in numbers resulting in a lot of exp.
Deciding on the allocation of my stats I began putting most in Mind because I liked the boost to my mind and it also allowed me to use my magics more proficiently and recall most in my demon body.

' Oh...my Mana is shown now.' I thought with shrugg before dismissing the screens already feeling the changes in my body, mind and soul.
Using my mind I began recalling the knowledge I had gained in my demon body, my original body and held out both my hands.
Going through the process of casting two spells at the same time I watched as a ball of fire materialised in my left hand while an orb of clear water appeared on my right.
' I can dual cast now...' I muttered with a grin and ignored the notifications that followed.
[—You've learnt Fire Magic]
[—You've learnt Water Magic]
Dismissing those screens and deciding to max them out tommorow before my next hunt I opened up my inventory and took out a bunch of flesh, blood and organs.
" Well...time to work." I muttered to myself.
Taking out the body of a white tiger that was bigger then it should have been and the body of an Artic Wolf which too had white fur and then the body of a Shadow Bear which had metallic Black fur which was hard to cut through and then taking out the body of a huge lizard with horns reminiscent of a dragons I nodded before using [Telekinesis] I had the girl I had kidnapped float towards me.
And maybe seeing the beats infront of me she started struggling but a quick use of [Slavers Touch] and she stilled and her eyes seemed to get clouded up.
" Good." I thought with a grin before I walked a bit further away and dropped out of my inventory body after body of weaker animals such as enhanced wolves, a goblin, an orc and then a fucking huge ass chicken.
Holding out my hand towards them I invoked for the first time in this life [Essence Manipulation] and extracted their essences but discarded the useless bits and extracted their 'Life Essence'.
Watching as the bodies of the monsters slowly turned to fine dust as their essence was stripped away from them I kept on pulling out more and more animals until only the stronger ones I had killed remained.
And now in my hand floated a bright white orb of pure life.
Splitting off just a tiny grain worth of dense life essence I had it float towards a flower not far away and started infusing the life essence into the flower and immediately regretted it as the flower started growing at an accelerated rate and a couple seconds later I had a huge ass tree with flowers instead of leaves and strange fruit adorning it's branches.
' What the... actually I don't want to know...yet.' I thought turning away from the tree and walking towards the dead animals and woman.
Getting infront of the woman I held out my hand towards her and yanked it and watched as her soul left her body and started floating infront of her body as it lay on the grass.
Connecting the soul to the body was a thin silver thread of which if I cut would immediately kill her.
But I didn't want that.
So opening my inventory again I took out a dozen soul beads I had gained in hunts as I had used my Plunder Functions a lot recently and gained Skill Points, Ability Points, Raw Material which included the soul beads and even abilities which I turned into ability ingredients.
But now I wanted the soul beads of F grade till D grade and with a use of [Soul Manipulation] I watched as the soul beads turned into immaterial orbs of energy that slowly converged into my waiting hand.
With active use of [Soul Manipulation] I then used the Skills [Sub-Skill: Soul Refinement] and started fusing the souls together before gaining a higher graded soul, A-.
Smiling at my work I then directed the soul energy towards the woman's dormant soul and watched as with my Skill made it so the soul energy fused perfectly with her soul.
This process took a couple of dozen minutes as this was a sensitive thing to do due to the souls fragility.
But after completing my task I then concentrated on the Life Essence and just as I did with Soul Energy I perfectly started infusing the essence into the body.
I did this because I wanted to boost her natural regeneration and also because what I was gonna do was gonna burn up a lot of her lifespan which the huge amount of Life Essence is meant to mitigate.
Done with that too I finally could begin.
' Time to create an monster of my own design...' I thought levitating the four bodies around the woman.
