Chapter 2: Fate Changer System!

"Missy, you can't make such expressions! It's unbecoming of you! You're not a monster. How can you be so sinister?" Alexander complained while looking at Mikoto. 

Observing her, he noticed that her hair had turned black at the moment.

"And what gave you the right to say that? You heartless jerk! Playing with people's lives for your amusement! I'm going to kill you on behalf of all those whose lives you ruined!" Mikoto glared at Alexander. She could easily incapacitate him just by flicking the coin in her hand. However, she hesitated.

It wasn't like she didn't harbor hatred towards Alexander. After all, he had ruined her life. But she is Mikoto Misaka, and regardless of whether he had created her or not, her nature made it difficult for her to kill. At most, she would make him unable to move for several days.

And just as she was hesitating, suddenly, in Alexander's mind, the sound of the system loading completion finally rang out.

[Ding. Congratulations to the Host for successfully installing the Fate Change. Please check the Novice Gift Package.]

Finally, the system had finished loading!

Upon hearing the voice in his head, he immediately accessed his virtual panel. There was no time to fully understand the system's functions; he placed all his hopes of survival on the beginner gift package! 

"My survival depends on this! System, don't disappoint me!"

Alexander clicked on the novice gift package without hesitation. In an instant, he felt the voice in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for acquiring the random ability of Kojiro Sasaki's ability from the Fate World - Martial Arts A+++.

Skill introduction:

Martial Arts A+++

—Kojiro Sasaki's ability in the Fate World represents the pinnacle of martial arts, combining nature and man in perfect harmony

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a One-Time Item: An Ability Copy Card.

Item introduction: Ability Copy Card - A one-time item that randomly copies the abilities of a character]

The system was indeed generous to newcomers. Alexander couldn't help but fixate his attention on the item in his mind. At that moment, he was having regrets on having to use something like this on Mikoto instead of something like Ultra Instinct from Dragon Ball, or the Mangekyou Sharingan from Naruto. 

Under normal circumstances, Alexander would have saved this item for later use, but his situation was urgent. He couldn't afford to wait any longer, although Martial Arts A+++ was formidable, could his physique really compete against Mikoto, who possessed a Level 5 ability?

Ability Copy Card, Activate!

With the Ability Copy Card in hand, Alexander activated it, feeling a surge of strange power coursing through his body. Though the force wasn't overwhelming, it brought him a sense of fulfillment. Various calculation methods flooded his mind, indicating that he had acquired Mikoto Misaka's Level 5 Electromancy.

"Ding. Congratulations to the host for successfully copying Mikoto Misaka's ability: Electromaster Level 5," confirmed the system's voice.

A smile formed on Alexander's lips as he felt the power within him. However, he decided to keep his newfound abilities hidden from Mikoto for the time being.

"Very well, it's time to teach you a lesson," he said, preparing to face her. He had no intention of killing her; after all, he had played a role in her creation. But he couldn't let her chase him relentlessly either.

"Railgun!" Mikoto Misaka unleashed a bolt of electricity, crackling with power. However, to her surprise, Alexander effortlessly absorbed the lightning, leaving him unharmed.

"How is this possible?! How can you absorb my electricity and remain unharmed!?" Mikoto exclaimed, wide-eyed.

Alexander stood up, an electric arc flashing across his hand. "I don't want to hide it anymore since we've reached a crucial moment," he said with a smile, though the twitching corners of his mouth revealed his inner struggle.

Alex knew he couldn't harm Mikoto, and she couldn't bring herself to kill him either. Their identical powers canceled each other out, resulting in zero damage. But he had a plan to resolve the situation quickly.

"Mikoto, try my Railgun!"
