2 Chapter 2 Awakening 2
Chapter 2 Awakening 2
As I got up to wash after taking in everything, I saw in my dream, let alone getting a new system left me in quite a state of shock. Washing myself off as I step out of my shower slicking, my mid-long dusk gray hair away from my sadly feminine silver eyes as I look at the black male in my reflection, in the mirror.
With matching gray wolf ears and a tail that is, constantly seen with a tuft of matching hair on my chest, in the mirror that a smile on my face. For a new opportunity but sadly it was also bittersweet.
As I would have to start back at level 1 thus making 3 years wasted but, could also be a good foundation to go forward as I wasn't the strongest, compared to others in my family of werewolves and demi-humans.
I was looked down upon for having a standard system opposed to any variation of a werewolf system, I wasn't hated just looked at with pity and regret by all but my mother, brother, and sister.
My mother had a priestess system, that gave her favor with the goddess Nut the Egyptian goddess, of the sky and heavens. We were very well off because of that and were given opportunities most wouldn't but, sadly only my brother and sister were well off.
My older half-brother was given an inter-dimensional system and my younger half-sister an elite songstress system both living their lives how they wish. We all stay in touch, well my mother and sister do, but I try my hardest not to take handouts and make something on my own. With my own skills.
My mother and sister wished id go to a peaceful zone realm and just live an easy life, but I and my brother always wanted to adventure and be the strongest we could and make a name for ourselves.
Realms are split into different categories such as safe, standard, battle lands, or far zone. Safe zones are basic life in one of many, different earth-like places. Where normal typical life is the par for the course besides that systems are more based on talents like singing, lying writing, and artist systems even some popularity systems. Standard is the current world after the great fall wars or the end of the battle from my dream. Many worlds and dimensions blended into one.
But basically, this is where most adventures will start or come to as you'll see many monsters and beings here.
Living by the rule of strength and might be opposed to law and order death was something common here and you'd see more fantasy-like races here you'd think were nothing more than fairytales.
The universe will or THE WILL, put unbreakable laws in place for each realm, no one from a higher realm could go to the safe realm, without being suppressed if they tried to cause having THE WILL would actively hunt them down to restore balance.
Next is the battle and far zone the battle land is just that a place of endless fighting for power resources and fame but had an lv requirement to go there unless one system bypass the lv most serious people would go there to get stronger about all Which is governed by the high powers who are constantly changing.
But the far realm is a place THE WILL cannot touch. It's a chaotic place with many unknowns and opportunities, many who wish to ascend above the powers of THE WILL itself go there to gain unfathomable power.
I would never go there in my life depended on it, but there are many cracks in every realm that one could slip into, the higher realm you are or if ya have shitty luck.
"well great I'm back at level 1 and my stats are shit and I lost all the skills and magic I learned"
I'd be pissed if this wasn't a common thing for new system integrations, I could relearn them instantly if they were compatible with me and my new system, but I could also be a coin toss as the named system know the users better than them making them lose powerful skills that would not help them in the long run.
Classes are only used by either none named systems or specific class systems. For most main systems one could be a jack of all trades or a hybrid class. I was what you would call a spell night or at least that's what I made myself to be.
It wasn't easy learning magic and swordplay that meshed well. I was subpar at best sinking most of my stats into intelligence as that tends to make one smarter as well as make one's magic more potent.
However, the odd thing is my intelligence is originally 20 but with this new system, I have felt no decrease in my mental strength oddly maybe the scaling is different due to the system being different. Then again I have a luck stat now that's oddly high as I summon my system to properly look at everything as it popped up in front of my eyes on a dark purple screen.

I ignored the race and bloodline trait as it I could easily assume that my system would allow me to evolve into a higher breed of a werewolf, as for the bloodline trait was blank and gave me no info as I concentrated on it to give me more info as for my stats it gave me quite a brief explanation of each one as I was quite surprised.
HP or health points is how much damage the user can sustain before death
MP or mental power is the limit of one's mental capacity not necessarily tied to only being a percentage of one's energies (mana and or ki) as its also a showing of how much mental stress one can overgo before going into an unconscious state or mind out state which will force the user bodily harm
STR is the value of the user's physical straight, as well as physical skills and or job skills using said stat.
INT is the value of the user's intelligence which not only makes one smarter but allows the user to process information faster, as well as comprehend new and old information. Increases one's potency with magic and arcane energy (mana only) as well as influences proficiency.
AGI is the value of the user's speed, nimbleness, and body reaction speed. increases the effectiveness of one's five, or sometimes more senses.
Con is the value of the user's overall constitution both physical, mental, and spiritual. increases the resistance and natural health of the user as well as the overall capacity and potency of one's inner life energy as well as external integration of life energies (ki).
so far all these stats seemed self-explanatory, or so I thought.
These normal stats now held more value to other things that I or others may not be aware of. Like con being my overall healthiness and defense than just a simple hp boost which would also explain my low int as it's my overall mastery, of both mental capabilities and magical prowess as many dumb individuals could still have a great magical ability.
I was also surprised as it directly told me what stats affected mana and ki as those are two energies many learn and used to get a leg up over people. werewolves are naturally very in tune with ki, but I've sadly wasn't blessed as such.
I always preferred magic anyway and mana is easier to learn. Even if ones does not naturally know how to manipulate mana around them It's something one can learn from teachings such as ki it's very hit or miss as its different for everyone as the ways one is taught its more so just tips or vague things one must understand to feel the energy.
Learning to channel mana into a spell is difficult if you don't know the ways, but even then mana can be used to straighten the body. That was my go-to method with swordplay as it was more effective as the only spells I knew were basic fireball and mana skin.
I'll have to try and channel my mana to see if I can learn it threw the system, after seeing this final stat and my skills as I was getting off track as I was drying off my naked body and tail many faded scars could be seen on my slender yet slightly curvy frame.
I always was a fast flexible fighter rather than a simple boxy frame which only added to my androgynous looks that annoyed me to no end when many would call me a woman or when guys would hit on me as I would mostly tell em to fuck off as they were never my time anyway.
Looking at the final stat, I felt my heart skip for a second as this wasn't a typical RPG luck stat for bonus damage. Luck is the unique stat given to the user as luck represents going against causality. If the user was put into a situation where one would normally fail or get nothing, the user's existence makes it to that even something can give nothing to benefit the user, but luck is not all good as there must be equal exchange to going against causality.
So the user will suffer to grow as the user did before gaining the system. Lycan wanted the new user to work five times harder to grow stronger, but do not fret as each improvement makes the user able to go against said suffering. The strong make one's fate and in turn, will no longer be forced to suffer but fight the suffering.
Gained stat points cannot be used to increase luck only the users' actions, certain quests, and items can raise luck the higher it is the more valuable the reward the system will give the user.
"T-this is bullshit! I'm given a stat that will not only give me good shit but will make me suffer to get it that's not lucky that's fucking ..ah just ahh!"
I screamed out to myself in my empty apartment building slumping on the floor....fuck it. I've suffered already then at least this time, I know I'll be rewarded for it right?
I've always hated those bastards with betters systems and skills, always taking from me but now I won't suffer in silence but with a hidden grin.
What I lose I'll only get rewarded with better! Maybe I've gone mad or maybe I've finally understood it all. I've never preferred an easy win. I always preferred challenges anyway and with this cheat no matter what I would get something as I would earn it from my hard work. After calming myself down it was time to see what was new.
Bringing up my unique ability id say the hard work of my past paid off as I started to read the description in detail.
Aura manipulation: one can manipulate one's aura or the Soulforce that comes off one's very soul, the fact you have this ability goes to show how strong your very soul is. As aura comes in many different colors and forms you can use it in many different ways such as object construction, spells, buffs, and even curses depending on one's imagination and sufficient Soulforce.
Soulforce is measured not by a number but by the culmination of stamina and mental strength as one soul has no measure but can expand and grow one will know their limits without them having to be shown.
Your aura color is gray meaning your aura is defined in a state of neutrality as it can be positive or negative both will give it different straights. It will not be raw power but refined and defined your soul is in the perfect balance of pure and corruption, it is up to you to choose how to use this aura
Claw slash lv:1 throws out claws magical energy 5 MP (can be further straightened using aura )
Lycans Rage lv:1 temporarily doubles all stats for five minutes while increasing the damage one takes this is a unique rage skill that can only be used by werewolves as the primordial werewolf Lycan could use the strength and power of a fully transformed werewolf in a non-transformed state while keeping the sanity of the mind however, the bloodlust to hunt will grow if one manages to devour the heart of their pray the increase in stats to go up by 2 as well as reset (max stack of 03) cost 45 MP cool down 1 hour
After evaluating my only active skills these were pretty good as I had a good range ability and a busted rage ability, however, the requirement to eat the hearts of my prey meant, I would have to eat whatever I'm fighting.
I'm not above eating human or sentient life we werewolves thrive off it I've just never done the killing I've only been given what others would hunt but that would also mean id have to eat trolls or goblins the thought alone made me want to puke....but my mouth was also drooling at the mere thought of ripping into one and eating them whole.
Only now did I finally understand the name of my system it would make me want to eat the things I'd fight to grow stronger...
~User has unlocked a hidden quest~
~Quest devour to grow strong~
~The user has managed to understand that this system requires him to eat not just food but strong life to gain even more straight the user came to the conscious conclusion that to get strong one must throw away some form of morality.~
~Eat strong living life (0/3)~
~Reward 500 exp~
~Failure increases bloodlust till the user is forced to eat life or death.~
~As a bonus for first-time hidden quest unlock skill devour has been upgraded to lv:1~
Surprisingly I wasn't mad or distraught.
Without knowing till now I was smiling madly elated with the prospect of doing this, as before I never saw a use to eating people or monsters we just had the urge to do so no real benefit besides its taboo nature, but now I'll gain something from this. I quickly looked at the passive skills as I get my low-ranked gear.
Predators body lv:1 Your five senses are as sharp as predators enhancing all your senses
Unyielding soul lv: Max your soul will not bow down to any man or king nor the infinite gods above you because of this you can stave off any mental and spiritual invasion flung your way
Devour lv: 1 the main skill of your system most will grow strong from killing and training but you will gain random permanent stats from the enemies' hearts you eat with a slight chance of gaining an ability from the eaten foes at lower levels and a higher chance from foe's your level and an almost guarantee from enemies 10 levels or higher.
Ability 2 not only does flesh and hearts sate your hunger and strength but, monster and magical cores as well
Ability 3 locked till lv 3
As I finished putting on a pair of black cargo pants and a faded dark purple shirt I looked at my old worn mana steel straight sword. Picking it up and wondered if this would even do me any good as I was better off selling it. Since it had a low-level fire gem in it the blade itself could sell for about 500 gold.
As the blade was about to snap and my new stats and lack of mastery skills id slow me down, as I was no longer a simple spell knight needing 12 intelligence to make the sword lighter and burn with life nor at least 7 STR to hold it up properly.
I would swing it around to get the basic sword mastery 1 skill but if it breaks then I can kiss that idea goodbye till I buy a new one.
Just as I was about to say fuck it and walk out the door to sell it and buy a basic sword to start hunting I felt oddly compelled to look at the gem as id have to be insane as I pried the gem free with little resistance.
"It said monster cores and magical cores but a simple fire gem?....nothing lost nothing gained."
Against all my reasoning I swallowed the gem gagging a bit and coughing as it was not the best decision. only when I was going to reprimand did something flash before me
Low-rank fire gem has been infused with mana for so long that it became a conduit for fire meeting the requirements of a low-rank fire core user gained +3 INT.
