「The Infinity System」

"He's been out for so long...how did this happen? Is it the dragonic essence acting up...?" A spirit wondered with heavy concern. A beam of energy seems to be resonating between him and Caden. "I'm even giving him most of the power I have left, but it isn't enough...I might just have to do it..."

Suddenly, the spirit starts shrinking. "Boy, I'll add my inheritance on top of the other deities. I would've liked to stay and explain your power, but you need my longevity to survive. As the god of immortality, I can't let you die!" The spirit keeps shrinking until it's nothing but a wisp. With a sad voice, it says its last words. "Boy, this is where I leave this world. For the sake of avenging me and my friends, I sincerely hope you survive." With that, the spirit condenses into a small blue marble and flies into Caden.

-----------------------------

I feel...unbearable pain...It's so painful that...I can't even move. I can only lay in pain. It hurts so much. Please...stop hurting...God please stop hurting...

Suddenly, a strange warmth envelops me. It eases the unbearable pain, controlling it to the point where I can move again. I get up and start recalling what just happened. I decide to make a grave for the spirit and pay my respects to him. After all, if it wasn't for him, I would be in so much more pain.

As I collect my thought, I remember a certain prompt that appeared in front of me earlier. 'The infinite system'? What, do I say 'status' to open it or something?

「Status」

「Inherent skills: Animal instinct (lvl 1), ??? (lvl 0)

「Skills: Basic Cane Mastery (0%), Basic Staff Mastery (0%)」

「Status」「Quests」「Inventory」「Equipment」「(Locked)」「(Locked)」...

'No way. It actually worked! Finally! I knew some random stick wouldn't be my cheat! A system! Wait...why are there so many question marks? Could it be that my brain power isn't enough to understand thm? Well, it'll get better soon...I hope. Anyway, seems there are a lot of functions to play around with.' Slowly, a grin showed on my face. 'These effects! They're so op!'

「Trait: Inheritance (lvl 1)

「The accumulation of many deities' skills, given to you by the god of Immortality, Aeturnus. As your current body is unable to withstand the full power of your inheritance, you will obtain it in increments. Currently unlocked skills: Essence control (lvl 1), Analyze (lvl 1), Training room (Weak), Basic taming (0%), Basic necromancy (0%), Basic summoning (0%), Basic crafting (0%), Basic healing magic (0%), Basic collecting (0%), Basic Alchemy (0%), Basic Blacksmithing (0%)」

「Trait: Ancient Dragon Lord Origin Essence (lvl 0)

「A mysterious type of skill transfer to an inheritance. However, it is more ancient and more power than a normal inheritance. The Ancient Dragon Lord left it for future generations to gain, if they prove themselves worthy. It is currently unawakened. Condition to awaken: Unknown. It currently grants the skills: Extra MP (lvl 0), Faster MP Regen (lvl 0)」

「Trait: Stick of ??? (lvl 1)

「A trait given to those who hold the stick of ???. The user cannot handle any more of this trait's information, as they lack the brain power. Please train your brain power and come back to learn more. Current skills: Stick summon (lvl 1), Stick de-summon (lvl 1), <Trait> ??? (lvl 0)」

「Trait: ??? (lvl 0)」

「An ancient power that lays dormant inside of the user. Not much is known about this power. Current skills: <Inherent skill> ??? (lvl 0), ??? (lvl 0)」

Those are some crazy skills...Also, is this stick stronger than I thought? For the system to say it gives an unknown ancient power...Well, I guess I don't really know much about this system. I can't go blindly trust its words yet. But it's also possible the words are true and this stick is extremely strong...

There's also the insane amount of skills from the inheritance. I completely understand why the spirit told me the inheritance gave me enough power to take over this realm. I can literally make multiple armies with it! Not only that, I can even equip them with strong equipment and give them potions with my non-combat skills! Analyze is also such a good skill. If it lets me read the stats of my opponents, I'll be able to always pick battles I win in! Man I'm so hyped! And I'm not even done yet!

Ancient Dragon Lord Origin Essence...what's up with this martial arts manhua type of name? Couldn't they have just gone with something like...actually I'm not good with names, forget it. But it grants additional mana and faster mana recovery while being only level 0? I wonder how strong it will be at level 1! Too bad I don't know how to awaken it...

And finally, the other skill. The system won't even let me check what it does, nor let me know its name! How powerful is it that even ???'s couldn't cover it? I am absolutely looking forward to the day I unlock it!

Well anyway, time to check my inherent skills!

「Inherent Skill: Animal instincts (lvl 1)

「The user has very good instincts! If honed properly, user may even be able to read the flow of battle and where attacks will go. Currently however, your body can barely keep up with your instincts. Before leveling this skill, make sure to train your body.」

「Inherent Skill: ??? (lvl 0)

「???」

These skills might not be as good as my traits, but not by much. And going off of Animal instincts, ??? is definitely going to be good. Because Animal instincts. Is a good f**king skill. Being able to read the flow of battle? That's good! Very good! No wonder I was able to survive that dragon, it was mostly likely this skill!

And finally, I need to check my skills.

「Skill: Basic Staff Mastery (Boosted)

「Allows you to learn basic staff techniques to use in battle. +50% damage when using a staff technique. Skill given due to the title 'One who Holds the Stick of ???' Current proficiency: 0%」

「Skill: Basic Cane Mastery (Boosted)

「Allows you to learn basic cane techniques to use in battle. +50% damage when using a cane technique. Skill given due to the title 'One who Holds the Stick of ???' Current proficiency: 0%」

Oh these skills aren't bad at all! Sure, they pale in comparison to my other skills, but this is still quite good! Speaking of which, I haven't checking my title, have I?

「Title: One who Holds the Stick of ???

「As one who holds the stick of ???, the user is not allowed to change weapons, ever. +100% damage when attacking with the stick of ???. All skills related to the stick get boosted by 5x. When user's life is in danger, skill <Overdrive> is unlocked temporarily.」

「Skill: Overdrive

「When the user is about to die, user gains a bonus of +10,000 damage to all attacks for 1 hour. However, after using this skill, user cannot move for the next 24 hours, so only use this if your life is in absolute danger.」

WHAT? THE ONLY WEAPON I CAN USE IS THIS STICK? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I WANTED TO BE AN EPIC SWORD WEILDING WARRIOR! WHAT COOL HERO HAS EVER USED A STICK AS THEIR WEAPON? NONE! NONE!!!! WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME!?!?!?!?

Wait, lets calm down for a second. This stick is most likely some sort of ancient weapon, right? I mean, if it gives special skills like <???>, then it's gotta be good, right? Right?

Besides, it's not like I have a choice in this anyway. What's done...is done. Now the only thing I can do is become the best stick holder ever. After all, like they say, if life give you lemons, squeeze it straight in life's eyes.

Besides, I'm dying to try out these new skills! So how do I do this? Do I just think 'training room' and it activates?

Just like that, a portal sucks me in. So it really was that easy, huh?
