Chapter 2 - System Introduction

"F*ck"

Zack was surprised when he saw his status. The overall stats were normal, but what hell with my form? Puddled Water? Are you kidding me?

He was feeling amazed because he became one of the legendary system holders. But also confused at the same time, did the Gods joke with him? Why puddle water out of all forms huh?

Zack has now a headache, and he slowly accepts his situation. This time, he checked his status carefully.

"So I don't have a name? Hmm, how about Asterion" "System, input Asterion to my name" he commands the system.

---------------------

[Ding]

NAME: ASTERION

---------------------

"Nice" Zack smiled in satisfaction. He checks the other part of his status.

"My race seems to be unknown, maybe I must reach a certain level to know about my race, I'm currently level 1 now and my stats are too low" Zack frowned when he saw his measly stats.

"As for the skills, how can I use them? Does it need an activation key or command?" he looked at the skill panel and calls out the (Conversion) skill.

"Conversion"

---------------------

[Activating Skill: Conversion]

[The Conversion skill is activated]

[Would you like to use the system to scan the area?] (YES), (NO)

"Yes"<

[Affirmative]

[Scanning the area... 1 meter, 2 meters... 5 meters]

[Scanned Successfully]

Then another window appears in Zack's view.

------------------

Red Metallic Ant: A forest ant with nearly 2 meters in size, capable of uprooting small plants using its mandibles. (Can be converted)

Horned Rabbit: A rabbit with a horn on the center of its head, this creature is agile and its movement speed is fast: (Can be converted)

Plants: just ordinary plants. (Can be converted)

Rocks: just plain rock, nothing else. (Can be converted)

[Reminder: Host must come in contact with the target to initiate the conversion skill]

-----------------------

"How am I supposed to do it? I can't even walk if I want to." Zack complains to the system with his mind.

Zack was in dilemma, he didn't know what to do. "Sigh, it's no used on blaming the system." he sighed, "I must come up with a solution to deal with this problem."

Zack easily calm down, he began to think of ways how to make contact with the target. 3 hours have passed but he still couldn't find the solution.

Zack who was a form of puddled water was on the verge of crying. But luckily for him, it seems that his luck was on his side.

rustle-

3 meters away from him, there's a bush around the size of an adult boar. The bush move and a horned rabbit suddenly jumps out of it. It glances at its surroundings, then it moves slowly to where Zack's location.

The rabbit appears to be thirsty, it ran toward the puddle which is Zack, then lowered its head to drink.

Zack's heart skip a beat, the system states that he must be in contact with the target to use the skill and he didn't think that luck was on his side.

'Maybe the Gods sympathize with me' he thinks.

[Would you like to initiate conversion?] (YES),(NO)

"Yes"

A blue light flashed the surroundings and the horned rabbit who sipped the water was startled, it tried to run but it couldn't react in time before it was swallowed by the blue light.

[Ding]

[Ding]

[The Host can now form into a Horned Rabbit.]

The number of Hosts can form: 2

Zack's mouth was wide agape, he couldn't believe it. He was thinking that his system is weak but it turns out to be overpowered.

He was excited to discover some new features of his system. If he has real legs now, it'll probably be shaken from the excitement.

Then Zack looked at the other text notification.

"So I can acquire the skill of the target that I convert, and now I can also take their form?" he touched his chin and smiled mischievously. "This is getting interesting."

[PASSIVE SKILL: Compatibility activated]

[Checking Host Compatibility...]

[COMPATIBILITY: 100%]

[Does Host want to form into a Horned Rabbit?] (YES),(NO)

"Yes"

'whoosh'

Zack's body started emitting blue light, then he transformed from puddled water to a 46cm horned rabbit. His color was a mixture of black and white, similar to a Dutch rabbit.

He checked his form and was satisfied with it, he can now move, jump and run, except for his body size.

After checking his body, he calls out his status window to see what are the changes.
