'System, how do i borrow Kurama's power?' I asked. I had already woken up and my mother came to feed me, then she took me to the living room where I was in my sister's arms being cradled on her chest.
I was only 16 in my past life, so although this was slightly humiliating. It was sort of a dream come true. Despite that however, I focused on the task at hand by exploring the capabilities of my new powers.
'Before doing that, would host like to explore the currently available Path skills?' The system replied.
I was somewhat shocked that the system dodged the question, but I guess i should really focus on the true path, as it was the true gift, the system and it's functions are merely auxiliary items.
'System, display all available Devil Path Skills.' I answered.
'Displaying available skills:
Demonic Transmutation: Transform into the devil itself. Boosts power increasing toll on the body as the increase in power is magnified. Higher state of transformation increases bloodthirstiness and induces an increasingly powerful blinding rage. Additionally, changes host's physical appearance into that of the devil. Power boost to stamina consumption ratio increases with level.
Unyielding Mind: Increases power of the mind with skill level. Allows host to control 'Clone/s' for varying amount of time. Allows host to temporarily merge with clone/s to absorb their power. Maximum number of fusions increases with level. '
I read over the skills and immediately decided to learn them both. 'System, I would like to learn 'Demonic Transmutation' and the 'Unyielding Mind' skills'
Ding!
'Host has learned 'Demonic Transmutation' and the 'Unyielding Mind' skills.
Skill level can be increased through spending energy points, host can exchange Energy Points to level up his skills in the menu. To open the menu, follow the same steps required in opening the inventory'
After these instructions sounded out in my head, I opened the menu.
Host: Simon Blackfire
Age: 2 Days
Bloodline: Blackfire (Increases the innate talent of descendants.) (Mortal 3rd Rank Bloodline.)
Energy Points: 1
Cultivation: None
Skills:
Demonic Transmutation (Level 1) (0/10 EXP)
0.1 Energy Points Required For Next Level.
Unyielding Mind (Level 1) (0/10 EXP)
0.1 Energy Points Required For Next Level.
Asura Energy Manipulation (Level 1) (0/10 EXP)
0.1 Energy Points Required For Next Level.
Clones: 1
I saw the menu and the tiny amount of energy points required was quite shocking. I decided to level up the Demonic Transmutation skill to level 3, Unyielding Mind and Asura Energy Manipulation to level 2.
Ding!
Host has spent 0.55 Energy Points on 3 skills.
I had now set myself on a straight path for the next few years.
Figuring out how to use Kurama would come later. Since It's confirmed that I can control my clone through Unyielding Mind, I should be able to gain some battle experience through him.
Now all i really had to focus on was leveling up my skills. If I could level up my devil transformation then the need for cultivation would be weakened as I would gain tremendous explosive power.
So I relaxed my mind, activated the Asura Manipulation technique and began absorbing energy from my surroundings. It seemed like the leveling up Unyielding Mind assisted in speeding up the absorption rate.
While leveling up the Manipulation technique helped increase the area from which I could absorb energy but also the speed of absorption.
My routine was set, now all I had to do was hope that I didn't face an unexpected calamity.
