In soul form, Cyrus crosses his arms 'When did 31 micells come inside the dungeon?"
{Last night of course}
'I thought I told you to wake me up when something happens'
{I did}
Irritation rises in his voice 'Then how come I don't remember waking up?'
{You went back to sleep}
He sighs, "Why didn't you-.. Forget it. I don't care anymore. All I care about is getting my fake body. Where do I find the skill?"
{Say open Core status}
'Open core status'

After examining, he closes his eyes 'I feel like I should use my mind like last time'
While his eyes are closed, he notices the experience he's having is different compared to last time. When Cyrus activated the skill, arise, he felt like his mind was going crazy. Now, it's a more soothing and calm feeling. Unexpectedly, A notification appeared right away without having to force anything out.
[Searching for skills suitable in element for a fake body....]
'Oh, so it's not a skill itself.'
[Skill Found!
•Psychic Energy Physiology•
- User is made up of or can transform their body completely into psychic energy. Users' transformed form can be anatomically identical to their normal form.
•Sub skill possession•
User can possess a body of any living being by stealing their motor functions and senses. Users may or may not have to leave their own body for this to take place.]
'Wait... that means I can be a human!' Cyrus didn't think he could be human so his expectations weren't high. He was ready to be made out of an inanimate object like crystals.
"Body Possession? Who's body am I going to take?...' He pauses and then shrugs, 'Who cares? Sucks for them"
[Activate Skill? Yes or No]
Cyrus immediately pressed yes and suddenly his soul gets transferred to a white room with no pictures, chairs, or tables in sight. The room was completely empty, until a big pink screen and an outline of a human body were summoned together in front of Cyrus's face.
'What is this? A create a character room? It's definitely something you would see in a game'
Cyrus is no longer in his core at the moment. He is in his soul form, flying towards the pink screen to inspect it. He notices that there's different options of features with arrows next to them. It would look something like this:
**********
YOU
< Skin color >
< Hair style >
< Hair Color >
< Eye color >
< Ears >
< Lips >
< Facial Hair >
< Arm type >
< Leg type >
< Torso Type >
**********
"Oh! I'm making my own body to possess? This works as well too" He looks at the body outline then back at the pink screen.
'hm, I can look like whatever I want..' he rubs his chin and looks at the skin color option. He taps the arrow until the character was a medium brown skin tone. Then, Cyrus makes his hair color black with a wave haircut and nods his head, "That's about right."
Before moving on to the next feature, he wonders if he should make his body look like his old body or if he should make an entirely new look.
"I'll make myself a lil bit different" Instead of making his eyes brown, he turns them gray and he makes his ears a bit smaller than his actual ear. Cyrus didn't change anything about his lips. They were a decent size; Not too big and not too small.
Next, He decided to not give himself facial hair and give himself a clean shave face instead. He barely had facial hair back in his old body, so he didn't see a point in getting any.
Last but not least, his appendages and his torso. He doesn't want to give himself too much body fat, so Cyrus makes his body Lean. His height is about the same back in his body which is 6'3. He's very short compared to the monsters, but compared to humans he's very tall.
'I think I look pretty good' he grins.
[Look finished? Yes or No]
"Yes"
[Lastly, time to receive your main skill/ technique and choose an extra skill for your body]
Cyrus eyebrows raise 'I can choose one?'
[Searching for skills for combat....]
'I'm ready! What'cha got for me?'
[Skill found!
Psychic Constructs
-User can change psychic energy into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create structures of varying performance
Choose 1 out of 3
Psionic Healing
-The user can heal themselves or others by using psychic energy.
Psychic Energy Absorption
-User can absorb energy by removing it from a source into their body
Psychic Intelligence
-User can heighten their intelligence, cognitive and mental abilities using psionic energy/focus.]
'My main skill is psychic constructs and I get an extra skill... but what should I choose?' Cyrus sits down in a criss cross position to carefully choose what skill would benefit him most.
'I'm going to cancel out psionic healing because I have hp and mp potions. Hopefully, they're not that rare, so I can buy some more somewhere. I'm going to have to make some money first though.'
He then lays down on his back with his head resting on his hands. 'So, it's between absorption and intelligence... Absorption is a great skill to get more power, but what else? I could weaken my enemy while fighting or take anyone's energy who's walking by me.
Intelligence would help improve my mental abilities and power. It could probably heighten my senses more and use my power more wisely.'
He sits back up and taps his fist in his palm, "System, I choose Psychic Intelligence"
[Your final skills are;
-Psychic Constructs and Psychic Intelligence-
Is this correct?]
"Yes"
[Create your body process is now complete! Please wait for everything to load and you'll be back in your dungeon in no time]
"This is pretty exciting. It's way better than how my life was on earth..." Cyrus gets up to walk around.
'What's the plan for when I get back in the dungeon? Should I try to find a village first? Maybe kill some creatures and
earn some money? Or should I just explore for now and see what's out there?"
[Loading 50%]
He sighs and stops walking," What's something else to think about without having Pics in my head?" He taps his fingers on his lips
"Oh, what should I wish for? I don't really want anything. I don't have family, money is overrated and i'm not interested in love at the moment. Hopefully, by the time I get to the last battle event, i'll know what I want.'
The system was done loading so it made a sound that you would hear from an oven to notify Cyrus.
'Guess it's time to go back'
