Chapter 9 - Ability check

It had been two hours since Dante had woken up from his dream world. Although he had many more questions to ask Serena, he couldn't just toss them all at her immediately plus he also knew this was something that would take time to understand. Currently they were laying on the floor trying to sleep, however Dante had other plans. After what he had been told by Serena he couldn't really sleep anymore. He felt as if his life would never return to normal and he didn't really know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. This was something that he would find out after staying on Earth for a longer period of time, though his experience so far had been terrible.

Turning over, Dante was trying to find out how to open up the screen that would show him what his abilities were all about. He spent about twenty minutes doing this until he realized that it only appeared when he thought really hard about it. He had closed his eyes and focused intensely when a screen popped up in front of his eyes.

[Hello Dante]

[What do you wish to do?]

The system spoke to him naturally freaking him out to a certain degree. Whatever this thing was it actually related with him just like an ordinary human being and not like a robot.

Looking to his side, he could see Serena asleep. The only issue was that he didn't believe she was fully asleep, it was highly likely that the sightest sounds would wake her up. It was because of this he refused to speak to this system in his head. Focusing hard in his mind, he thought of what he wanted the system to do and this was to see the details of his ability. To his surprise it actually worked, however he believed this was something he shouldn't really have been surprised about. He did active the system with his mind in the first place.

[Abilities] [Usable Nano Lites: 0/50]

[Dismantle] [Assemble]

The term usable Nano Lites immediately caught his attention. Apparently it was zero at the moment so he wondered if it had anything to do with the Anti-Fracture sword he had created before. If this was the case it would mean that there was a limit to how much he could use his abilities. He believed it actually made a lot of sense as his ability was clearly an over powered one. It was quite capable of destroying anything and maybe creating anything. Though this theory was something Dante knew he would have to find out about later.

On going further he discovered that there was an equipment icon on the screen.

'What is that all about?', Dante asked.

[It is a place that contains every possible new item you can create. You should give it a try, you will need it in this new world]

The system gave rather understandable advice so Dante decided to do as it mentioned. On entering the equipment menu he was exposed to a lot of items to which he had no idea of. He also saw the Anti-Fracture blade he had created an hour ago, however he was unable to create one again due to him already possessing one. There were so many things to choose from that Dante believed the options were endless. The question now was how would he know what each item was for. The system immediately answered his question even though he never really asked.

[There are two ways items can be recognized

*Focusing on the item will reveal it's information

*Thinking about what you want to do can reveal items that could be used for such]

The second one seemed much more convenient to Dante at the moment so he began to think about what he needed most to protect himself. He instantly remembered what had happened when he been chased by Fractures. They were to fast for him to keep up, if it wasn't for Serena he most likely would have been killed. What he needed right now was speed and he was aware of that.

[Item matching preference has been found]

[Quick ring: a ring that drains Nano Lites from the air making the individual fast]

[Speed marker: an item that enables user to be as fast as what has been tagged with it]

[S.D watch: a watch that makes the user incredibly fast. It also blocks attacks three times a day with a energy barrier]

There were other items but they were locked as his total amount of usable Nano Lites was low. The watch seemed to carry the greatest advantage so he decided to concentrate on it revealing it's information in the process.

[S.D watch]

[Crystal of High Fracture + Quick ring + High density shell]

[Total Nano Lites needed: 50]

Even though the S.D ring was quite useful, Dante was not capable of making something like that just yet. The crystal of the High Fracture was to difficult to get as it was to dangerous for him to handle at the moment and he had no idea what a high density shell was in the first place. Trying to move on he checked on the next best thing, the Quick ring. He now knew that in order to make the original item he wanted he needed to have this ring.

[Quick ring]

[Crystal from Fracture + Nano Lites contained in air]

[Total Nano Lites needed: 10]

Sadly, the Quick ring disappointed as well. He would need to get the crystal from a living Fracture in order to make it. Looking back at his abilities, Dante focused hard on them in order to see if there was anything he could find out about them and to his greatest surprise there was. The two abilities had separate abilities under them, however only one was unlocked for each.

[Dismantle]

[Adrenaline touch: When anything threatening to the individual is present, a touch from the user would result in disintegration of threat

Total Nano Lites used: 40]

[Assemble]

[First aid: When injured, things from the environment can be used to heal self

Total Nano Lites needed: Based on damage that was inflicted]

These two skills were very useful especially the skill First aid. Dante knew that these were capable of protecting him in this world however he needed to be wise on how he used them or they wouldn't matter.
