-----Mike's POV Frost family Research base-----
'...okay, Zoey how do I do this...'
[First, place your hands on the side of the forehead of the corpse.]
[Then focus on accessing the guy's memories]
I fixed the posture of the dead researcher and placed both my hands on the guy's forehead. As I focused on the guy's memories a new menu popped up in front of me.
[Select one of Zake Frost's Skills and Experiences]
[1. Gene research practical experience]
[2. Gene research theoretical knowledge]
[3. Human biology theoretical knowledge]
[...]
[...]
[17. Zake's basic personal knowledge and habits]
[...]
Even though there were quite a lot of interesting skills and knowledge, I just selected the personal knowledge and habits.
*sigh*
'I just know I'll become a body hoarder I know it...'
'Okay, Zoey what next...'
[Now focus on changing your appearance and on the menu select Zake...]
'What the fuck is that...You aren't that helpful for being an assistant you know...just putting it out there...'
[You have a lot of time don't you host?]
'...whatever'
I focused on imagining myself as Zake and I could feel my body started to shift and change to the form of Zake. I stripped the outer clothes of Zake and did a quick equip with them. I immersed myself in the knowledge gained from Zake and finished the task that he was doing. I walked out of the room towards the 4th door and walked out towards the exit from the inner area of the facility.
As I exited the main inner area, I noticed the number of sentries in the area was absolutely absurd. I walked past 100's of sentries and armed guards as I travelled towards the exit but they were mostly very respectful and hurriedly walked away when I met them. I also got into contact with some single guards, some of which I just killed and stuffed into my Inventory when I was in low-risk areas, and the rest I just let them go.
The keycard of Zake had access to every room in the facility so the way over was smooth and quick and I exited the middle parameter of the facility. The outside was just a front of a hotel, 'probably selected as such so that people would not question the huge amount of people going in and out...'
Because of the access card, the hell journey was more like a spring breeze as I escaped the facility and arrived on the planed named Narvid.
[Ping!]
[Narvid Planet discovered...Danger level-High…+1000 EXP awarded]
'Right here I am at the home planet of the Frost family with no way out whatsoever for the moment...First I need to change my appearance because Zake will be suspect no.1 pretty soon...and why isn't the weapon over...Zoey?'
[The mission will be over when you aren't in the danger of being caught again]
'...right ditch Zake'
I walked towards a nearby mall and made my way towards the bathroom. I entered the stall and after a quick scan found no one in there. So I waited for some time until a kid about 14 years old entered the room and went to take a leak. '...Inspect'
[Name: Rudolph Cold]

[Level: 12]
[HP: 1200/1200]
[Str: 8]
[Int: 12]
[Con:10]
[Dex:7]
'...okay that one is a perfect target, but do I wanna kill a kid?...ugh screw it...'
I take out a blade that I got from killing a guard and stabbed it straight through the heart of a 14-year-old…
'...If there was any doubt before I am going to hell.'
I dragged the body of the kid back toward a stall and a quick procedure later I walked out of the stall as the kid who should have a knife stabbed through his back. I did a quick clean and threw the body back into my Inventory as I exited the washroom.
I was wobbling a little bit due to the change in perspective and different motor skills but I still made it through the food court and after ordering some goodies went and collapsed on a seat. I looked at the notifications that I ignored when I was in a hurry to leave.

'...wow I levelled up quick bro...but wait a minute...Zoey what happened to the exp bar...'
[Every 25 Level is a major boundary for your species so the difficulty of increasing the level increases 10 times every 25 levels...There is a reason the level cap for humanity was S-rank and only 7 people achieved that.]
'Okay, anyway if I invested all my points equally on STR and CON, my speed should be around 200 that is equivalent to a B ranked speed-focused ability... I am right, ain't I Zoey'
[Yes Host...]
'Okay...yeah am getting that...'

I hurriedly opened my inventory and right there taking the place in the first block was the missing piece of my fighting style…
'...wtf...I wasn't expecting this...'
'...'
