Safe, Loan, and Exploit

"Host Rescue Protocol initiated. Consuming 7000 universal genodes to increase {Abyssal Breathe lv.1} into {Abyssal Breathe lv.4}"

"Insufficient level to unlock lv.5 bonus skill. The system has decided to loan the host 8000 universal genodes and decrease the hosts lifespan by 100 years, there will be no interests but the system will retrieve half of the hosts genode count after every genode absorption till the loan is paid, lifespan shall be returned upon successful payment otherwise the system will continue to deduct 100 years every 100 years"

"Ding! {Abyssal Breathe lv.5} bonus skill unlocked, Abyssal Flame Immunity (Self) has been implemented"

Lizzy heard the flood of pings but was too focused on the flame that she didn't even see the messages, she closed her eyes and had a serene look on her face as if she could finally rest, she remembered the past few days that she enjoyed hunting and the good memories of her past, she dropped to the ground with a thud.

"Goodbye world"

After Lizzy said goodbye she felt the heat surrounding her body but for some reason she didnt feel pain instead she felt as if she was in a sauna, she opened her eyes and noticed the rat on the ceiling not wanting to drop to the ground, it was looking at her with a questioning look.

"Uhm what's happening? how come I'm not dead?"

"Response to host, Read the notifications"

The system responded irritably and the mechanical female voice had a tone of disdain as if she was talking to a dumb person.

"Were you always this irritable?? oh yeah you are..."

Lizzy looked at the rat and then looked at the notifications at the side of her vision, she then read the lines that she heard earlier along with the skill description.

Abyssal Flame Immunity (Self):

As one who uses the flames of the abyss, it is only fair that you are immune to your own flames after adapting to its heat, you are a late bloomer though as every child of the abyss that manipulates flames are immune to their own ever since they're born.

User cannot be harmed by their own flames. A passive.

Item Grade: Unique (UN)

"Ah pretty straightforward huh" her eyes travelled and scanned more of the writing till she saw the loan part.

"WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME THAT I CAN LOAN!?!"

"Loaning isn't recommended by the system, the loaning protocol and measures are created by the system to save their hosts who don't have enough points to save themselves, these protocol sets were implemented due to high failure rating due to the death of the systems host"

"How many died under your guida-"

Just as Lizzy was questioning, the Lance suddenly flew to her area and smashed the ground, the rat kings aim was very good, even better than his knights and was able to pop Lizzy's entire tail. Luckily lizard bodies have a safety maneuver of detaching their tails since it grows back after a while, her tail detached automatically, preventing her from feeling the pain of a splattered popped tail.

The Lance then floated and returned to the rat kings hands, it seems it has had enough of Lizzy's self mumbling act and her blatantly ignoring him even though she was in his kingly presence.

"COULDNT YOU HAVE JUST WAITED FOR ME TO FINISH MY SENTENCE?!!, sheesh talk about an attention wh*re"

Lizzy immediately decided to just burn the whole room with the king, the king sprinted around the walls avoiding the flames of Lizzy while throwing it's spear at her, Lizzy dodged and turned following the king until she slipped again and her flame shot towards the converting core, at that moment it was intercepted by the Lance.

Lizzy looked at the direction of the king who threw the Lance and then at the core while the Lance returned to the king, she grinned and an idea that she never would've though would come to her came to her. The kings face had a terrified expression when the flame shot towards the core, that was why Lizzy got the idea to fire her flames at the core which the king cared for it seems.

She focused her flames on the core and the rat king swiftly blocked with the Lance but due to the focused density few smaller flame wisps passed and was making it's way towards the core, the king seeing the flame, ran and blocked the flame with his arm and immediately ripped off his own flesh that was hit, crimson oozed from the patch of ripped off flesh and even more followed as the king kept blocking and blocking.

This was the first time Lizzy had the idea of exploiting someones or somethings weakness.

"All's fair in love and war I guess" she thought to herself as a method to alleviate some guilt for exploiting a creatures weakness but for some reason even before she thought that to herself she didn't feel guilt at all and was even enjoying it.

"Mental corrosion increased"
