A Third Unique Skill Appears [REWRITTEN]

|Mystic Eye of Mimicry;

Type: Unique Skill

Allows one to mimic the skills and magic of another being within their field of vision.

Conditions;

Maintain eye contact for 10 seconds

Knowledge of the name and Effect of the skill the user wishes to Mimic.

Knowledge of the name and Effect of the Magic the user wishes to Mimic.

Restriction;

Only one skill or Magic can be Mimicked every twenty Levels.

However, due to the System of the Reincarnated Hero Updates, this is reduced to one skill or magic every ten levels.

User also has three skill slots available instead of one to start with. 

Mimicked Skills remain until the User removes them personally. |

'In the game the mimicked skills usually disappeared after 1 year in-game time, good to know they remain here indefinitely.'

Skills were 'Runes' inscribed on their User's Souls, formed from a combination of energy, 'Experience' and a few other things.

A Skill user was able to manifest the power of the Rune on their souls through their Physical Bodies.

They could be acquired by training & experience, one can create skills too depending on the situation, and most often; innate talent is also a huge factor in the type and power of skills gained.

As for the number, that was usually due to one's base soul strength.

Evan's 'Mystic Eyes of Mimicry' was also a Rune on his soul, whose power manifested through his eyes.

The 'Eye Contact' requirement was because his skill used the 'Eyes as the Window to the Soul' and 'Copied' the rune on the Target's soul, before 'Pasting' it on his soul.

The Duration being 10 Seconds, was because that was how fast his own soul could use the 'Essence of Mimicry' to copy a target's skill.

As his level increased and his soul grew along with it, this duration would shorten from 10 seconds to 5 and so on.

'By Level 150, I would reach the Requirement for my Mystic Eyes Stage 2, which would reduce the duration to 5 seconds.'

It seemed like a long way off, but Evan Levelled up faster than normal people due to his Hero Status and System Benefits, he was sure he'd reach it in 'no time'.

'Famous Last Words'—is what the goddess would have said if she heard his thoughts just now.

Anyway, returning to Evan's skill, the last restriction where he had only 1 Skill Slot available was because there was a maximum number of skills one's soul could hold.

His soul strength was not infinite, so even with the System Aiding him, he would only have enough space for 1 slot after levelling up 10 times.

"All Hail the System."

Evan praised the Construct of World Laws that the goddess had crafted for a moment, before returning his thoughts to the topic of Mystic Eyes.

The Seven Hero Characters, although customizable, still retained their Mystic Eye Unique Skills.

'There were 4 on this continent and 3 on the Beta Continent. 

Laurene and I make 2 of 4, the remaining two are somewhere in the Beast Kingdom to the south-east and the Desert Country in the Central continent.'

As he recalled the locations of the other heroes, he saw another one of his titles he recognized.

'Loved by Nature, the characters with this title all possessed a high affinity for magic and most importantly, they were loved by spirits.'

The spirits were an incorporeal race closely related to nature; they were also called elementals sometimes.

'There are probably spirits around me but I need to get my mystic eyes to stage 1 in other to see them and interact with them, maybe form a few contracts. 

Though they may dislike me using a sword with a demon sealed within.'

He then looked at his other unique skill, Adaptive Evolution.

'This one is probably the skill the goddess gave me.'

|Adaptive Evolution;

Type: Passive Unique Skill

Triggers evolutionary changes in the user to make them adapt to their surroundings or situations. Can adapt towards certain types of attacks.

Conditions;

Hold out against a certain situation or survive a certain environment long enough to adapt and evolve in a suitable way.

Hold out against a certain attack long enough and it would become ineffective.

Restriction;

Contradicting Evolutions are risky and user may instead devolve on failure. |

'This is just broken!'

After checking his skills, he was about to get up from his bed before his blood ran cold and he felt a chill down his spine. 

He didn't really understand the reason why at first, but the memories of the previous hero that he had told him that he was being gazed at by something far more powerful than he was.

He turned and looked around for the source of the stare but he could not see nor sense it until a notification appeared in front of him.

 

|Connection Initiated! |

[The 'Eternal of Time and Destruction' smiles upon you]

[The 'Eternal of Time and Destruction' grants you his blessing]

|Unique Skill Acquired|

|Warning! Skill's Power Weakened due to the host being unable to withstand it. |

 

The moment he saw that notification, his whole body felt hot. 

It was as if he jumped into a pool of boiling hot water, he screamed in pain and fell on the floor.

He had sent out all the maids that were to guard him, his room was also soundproof so they were barely able to hear his screams even though they were just outside the door.

After a few minutes, the pain lessened and he was finally able to move once again. He checked his body and saw no injuries on him, he then turned his gaze to the notification that was floating in front of him.

|Blessing of Destruction;

Looking at the new skill in his status board he was confused, through out the game he never heard of or saw any being called 'The Eternal of Time and Destruction'.

'Is he some sort of god?'

[The 'Eternal of Time and Destruction' says you do not need to know who he is]

[The 'Eternal of Time and Destruction' says you should only know he is a friend of the 'goddess of evolu-', Artemisia who sent you here]

[The 'Eternal of Time and Destruction' urges you to get stronger so you can accept his full blessing]

'Artemisia, that's the name of the goddess from the game, it seems it's also the name of the actual goddess in charge of this world, and this guy says he's her friend?'

[The 'Eternal of Time and Destruction' says you are correct]

[The 'Eternal of Time and Destruction' once again urges you to become stronger or he shall take his blessing away]

Looking at the wonderful effects of the blessing, Evan did not want him to take it away, although his head had been aching him ever since this being started talking, he gritted his teeth and asked one last question.

"Couldn't the process have been a lot less painful?"

[The 'Eternal of Time and Destruction' says it is because you are too weak]

|Warning! Unable to Receive messages from a Higher entity due to host's mind being on the verge of Collapse.

Connection Terminated! |

The moment he saw that message, his mind became clear instantly. His Headache stopped immediately, however, he felt chills from looking at that notification.

'If I had continued talking with him, my mind would have collapsed!'

He made a mental note to himself; one to never engage in conversations with any god-like beings he came across.

Rewritten with more details on the unique skill. Too bad all the paragraph comments would disappear though. ˙◠˙
