Healer looked at the message, unsure what to do, but he realized that with mana he was now able to do universal magic, universal magic is a type of magic that despite mana gland one could learn to use magic, so it was very possible to consider using a type of magic he knew, sense sharing, it was only able to be used with familiars so he only ever read of it but he remembered the activation incantation, an activation incantation imprinted the magic onto the soul permanently the problem was he didn't know if he had to speak it or not, but it was worth a try in his mind 'as you are a part of my soul and I am a part of yours I require to share your eyesight and other senses to assess and scout, so you may become useful to me as something other then a pet' he felt an astral force beating inside his mana gland as he learned the activation phrase 'sense share'
he was immediately thrust into sharing the eyesight of the wisp, he could still use his other "eyes" of his body, but it was more like having a film in the back of his mind, he saw the beast that attacked the wisp it had claws and fire coming out the side of its eyes, the wisp however already moved outside the attack range up to the ceiling, as the wisp looked down the system pinged
[challenged artificial demon (fire/failure type)]
'so it's a fire type, that's good, water beats fire, right?'
he then sent an order to the wisp 'use your magic, douse it in water or something'
the wisp followed the orders sending light rain onto the beast, it sizzled a little but it seemed more annoyed than anything, it then lunged at the wisp, the wisp being a wisp had better reason times and speed allowing it to dodge, the beast hit its head and broke through the ceiling, the smoke then triggered a fire alarm assumingly as the sprinklers started going, the beast started to howl in pain, and healer got another notification
[wisp is not taking damage as being an astral type demon but is having powers halved as the effect of holy water]
holy water in hell was unusual, very unusual, and as if on cue its vision was reduced, but it was obvious that the beast was taking immense damage, the water was acting like a shotgun, at least that's what he assumed until he saw that some sprinklers not working and water dripping from the beast's neck, it probably broke a water valve, soon the beast stopped moving and turned to ash, leaving behind a weird orange color soul
'go ahead and have that for a meal, you need the health' he ordered the-wisp which it obeyed and ate it
[wisp ate a higher level soul HP 30->100: soul fragments recovered, wisp making selection please wait]
he hoped the-wisp made a good decision, but he was happy his wisp would be dying anytime soon
[wisp consumed malfunctioning fire mana gland 100->150 HP]
at least it was something useless, but why didn't he get the scraps yet?
[wisp has consumed claws]
as it said this the-wisp formed two floating claws, a healer could feel that there was a connection to the claws and the-wisp, no limit to the reach
[notice: instead of combining claws into stronger versions, wisps will gain a new set of claws]
he noted this, as he found the idea of the wisp having 100 claws hilarious
[you have two soul fragments to choose from: muscles/beast fangs]
he chose beast fangs
[make wisp (fanged)/upgrade body/assimilate]
It seems the system underwent changes, anyways, he chose to assimilate
[sharp teeth detected, combing with beast fangs to create sharp beast fangs]
his teeth didn't change much, they did seem shaper though
[one soul fragment to choose from muscles]
he tapped on it
[make wisp (muscular)/upgrade body]
he wanted to be stronger but damnit a muscular wisp sounded funny as all hell so he chose that option, and he was not disappointed
[despite being the lowest grade its HP will be 50 because of chosen attribute]
he looked upon the glorious creation it had two beefy muscular arms and fists, it struck a pose, healer inhaled 'fucking worth it, this is just gonna be where I dump "muscular" anything, isn't it? Yea, it is' he silently chuckled to himself

In the land of the living once again he had found out that he was afraid of getting sued, as the dude he beat up had a brother of a politician, and he was broke so he couldn't afford a lawyer so internally he was going 'FUCK' over and over again, he realized he couldn't explain that he wanted to test a health point system, he would seem crazy, so realistically, he was trapped, also him going overboard didn't help his case, actually, he realized to a sane person point of view, even if it was provoked, he was in the wrong
"and you got his power 100% wrong"
"what?" Mal replied
"his power is known as a master cook" the judge stated
"what?" He looked at the gruff dude
{master cheeeeeeeeeeee-}
that was the first time it overloaded, something was going on
{back on, scanning again: master chhhhhh——}
it failed again, something was definitely going on
{master chhhhhhh punch-}
it was failing and crashing
"them" the judge coughed "we detected a use of powers, we ask you to not use them here"
'SHIT! Think of an excuse!' "It has a mind of its own, literally, and it happens that its a power assessor, and it keeps trying and failing for some reason"
the judge looked suspicious "is that the 'truth'" when he said truth Mal felt compelled to answer
"yes. Of course."
"And what do you think this means and what is it showing you?"
"I think they have a power hider and its saying 'master ch- punch'"
"I see," the judge said looking at the men
///
As he looked at the wisp he soon had to order it to search the rooms for demon rats, following it around to see its combat effectiveness, what it did was just punch them, and it was very surreal, its eye formed a smile-like look when it finished as if looking for praise, and he fukin loved it, eventually, they all got night vision and the health of the wisp increased to 100, but the rats would only give 1 HP per soul fragment, and they slew many rats, he soon came across another rat, but something was different, it was bigger and it had a weirdly big Brain, like pop out of the head big brain, the wisp attempted to slay it but its fist stopped a second before impact, however, it used its other fist to slam the rat against a wall
[mindful rat has been slain]
he grabbed its soul ignoring the probable pun and gulped it down
[three soul fragments remain: low-grade mind mana gland/average intellect/slightly stronger body]
he chooses the mind gland
[assimilate (compatible)/upgrade wisp/upgrade body]
he found it interesting that it said compatible for assimilate, so he chooses that to see what happened
[you can now use mind magic!]
he felt the gland inside him grown in size and a separate energy start to get produced
[after assessment artificial mana gland can provide a stable environment for the magic of all types]
he was astounded
[two soul fragments remain: average intellect/slightly stronger body]
he chooses the slightly stronger body and decided to just upgrade his own body, then moved onto the intellect and decided to upgrade his first wisp
[your wisp is now an able as it has the required intellect]
'hmm, his name shall be… vortex… some cool shit like that
[water wisp is now known as vortex]
'cool, well, if I want that to be useful magic wise I'll probably need to get a-' he smiles and realizes that there is probably the other elements, there were four tanks empty, that means, fire, air, water, earth, he speculated a working mana gland can combine with the artificial one, but if it's not possible, it should say incompatible, if it doesn't there was a good chance would work
After a while of searching there wasn't much to find, well they found a broken camera so they did a fake photoshoot with the muscular wisp which was the best moments of his life, well second to his time with mara, as he thought of mara his morale fell, the wisps noticed this vortex gave a "hug" and the muscular wisp tried to look for a gift, but it was to no use, healer walked to a door descending a floor, in the floor was collapsed hallways and test tubes, there were even some souls in bottles, then as he walked into a room he saw a wisp looking thing in a bottle
///
he lost the battle and ended up in prison, but he was bored, very bored, all he did was sit around and not do much, I fights were picked, and he won against the weak ones, but there were some big-time criminals in here, it seemed like they bribed bigger than he originally thought, and that got him thinking about bribes in general, to think in a world of heroes and all sorts of crazy phenomenon like this human corruption never ceased, you'd think that everyone would want to become heroes, but that want probably led to some sort of balancing 'like some yin and yang bull shit like that he thought, he didn't want to escape as that would have people searching for him, and he wanted to avoid that 'i can just wait it out, fifty years right? not like I can-' he was cut off in his own thoughts
{aging is now possible, aging stops at 10 demon parts}
"oh fucking lovely" he accidentally says out loud exasperated
"The fuck you say?" a large man looks at him and tries to give off a powerful aura
{power: heartbreak}
'how is that a strong power?'
{its an interpretation type, while you think its emotion-based, he can literally break your heart HP cost -200}
"man you're weak huh?" he remarked, again out loud, but this time on purpose
"The fuck you call me!?!"
{HP -200}
"hmm? I thought you'd attack me, why didn't you? chicken out?"
{HP -200}
{HP -200}
{HP -200}
{HP -200}
{HP is at 4000}
'just bluff my way through this, it's not like he'll go through with it, all I need to do is make it seem like his power isn't working
he veins were bulging in anger "AHHHH why isn't it working!?!"
"what isn't working?" He asked smugly really rubbing it in
"FUCK" he slammed something he was holding on the ground "…shit" he ran away fast
watching him run away Mal yearned his attention to the item on the ground, as he looked he saw… a grenade…
{notice: this was created by the copy paste innovate power: functions: makes a 'gate' portal}
'ahhhh shit…' he inquired 'how much HP to absorb the blast?'
{-2000 HP}
'oh fucking lovely' he jumped on the grenade "get away from here!"
the guards ran up "prisoner! What are you doing!?!"
"grenade! No time! Wont die just run!"
the guards nodded "everybody! Run away!"
everybody moves to the edges of the room Mal sees the big dude who dropped the grenade smiling but Mal points at him "the big dude! Heart breaker power! He dropped this!" Mal smiled as the grenade exploded
{-2000 HP}
…
he woke up in a foreign environment it was a cave, there were florescent mushrooms
{notice, time dilation active HP will no recover 10 HP per-second}
'so one second here is 10 seconds there?'
{correct}
he decided to move to a wall and lay down, he wanted his HP to fully recover, he could hear skittering, he thought 'man, my ignite power will be awesome to use'
