"What!? A soul blessing!? I have obtained my first soul blessing from my first hunt? It is even from a variant genetic creature, hahaha! I might be mistaken before, but maybe I have the quality to be this world's main character!"
"System, do you have the ability to show me the abilities of my soul blessing?"
[Soul Blessing: Clumsy Frog]
Type: Pet
Grade: Normal
Speciality: Variation: A pet is much more aggressive than a regular pet of the same kind.
State: Unawakened]
Leon's laughter was cut off; his expression became speechless as his eyes started twitching. He sighs and says, "Forget about it; I am definitely not this world's main character. I do have a variant pet, but it is not as special as I hope it would be."
Monster pets are one of the most useless Soul Blessings in the Realm of the Thousand Worlds. The reason for this is that their abilities can only be used when they have awakened, and in their unawakened state, they are unable to fight; even the weakest normal-grade genetic creatures are much stronger than them.
"Oh well, at least I am lucky enough to obtain a soul blessing; according to Eclipshea, it is very rare; besides, I think I should keep it for company and also as a memory of my first successful hunt," he says to himself.
The system detected an anomaly! [The remnant of the soul of the previous owner has awakened because of the addition of the soul blessing.]
[Commencing emergency protocol, preparing to destroy the remnant soul.]
"What!? Wait! Let me think about it first!"
Unfortunately for him, the system is designed to protect its host from any harm, even if it is against his wishes. As long as he is safe, the system will emotionlessly follow its protocol regarding such events.
[Warning! Warning! [The remnant soul is incredibly vital for the vessel; using other methods, calculating, finding the method, and using Soul Blessing to contain the remnant soul.]
[Soul blessing and remnant soul is destroyed! ]
[Producing a new item.]
[Soul Blessing: Cleo's Clone]
Type: Pet
Grade: Normal
Speciality: Immortality: As long as the host is alive, it can be summoned again after dying.
Ability: Soul Blessing Equip: Capable of equipping soul blessings that hosts give
(Locked) Ability 2: Human Martial Artist: Can learn martial arts developed by and for humans
(Locked) Ability 3: Sense Sharing: Can share senses with the host
(Locked) Ability 4: Natural Law Manipulation: Can control and manipulate natural laws
(Locked) Ability 5: Life (can have independent thoughts but is still fully dependable to the host)
Leon is gobsmacked; he cannot believe what he is seeing right now—a monster pet that is in its awakened state already. He starts laughing, especially after seeing the pet's specialty.
"With this, my life is much safer than before." After saying this, he sighs and looks at the system window in front of him. In order to obtain such an amazing soul blessing, he had to destroy the remaining soul of his predecessor, which leaves a bad taste in his mouth.
"Well, it is useless to cry over spilled milk." Trying to get over his guilt, he travels in another direction; it is the location of the Three Tailed Chickens.
His plan is to obtain at least one soul blessing from hunting three of the weakest genetic creatures around the stronghold. Now that he has obtained one from the Clumsy Frog, it is better to obtain one from another.
Besides, a genetic warrior can only obtain ten genetic enhancements from each species; unfortunately, the Clumsy Frog that he had hunted has become a chunk of beaten meat.
He sighs in disappointment and decides to kill one more Clumsy Frog and obtain his first genetic enhancement.
[I suggest the host use one of your Soul Blessing Slots for Cleo's Clone, as it serves as a great first item and, with this, the ability of the gemstone of life will activate.]
"Oh right! The slots, system, please show me how many slots do I have?" Excited by the prospect of such a special thing, he immediately asks the system.
[Name: Cleo Oriend (Leon Cio)]
Age: 17 (28)
Talent: Overwork
Hidden: The Invulnerable Soul
Item: Gemstone of Life
Genetic Evolution: 0
[Soul Slots: 10]
"Hmm, please explain my talent, hidden ability, and the Gemstone of Life."
Overwork: the ability of the body to surpass the limit for a certain amount of time; after usage, the body will undergo a period of weakness.
Invulnerable Soul: Protected by the system, the host's soul is invulnerable to most attacks. The system still has no complete information regarding this world and does not have any relevant data about the limit of the protection.
Gemstone of Life: The ultimate creation of the Vultrian Race, capable of making any being undergo an evolution.
"Amazing, but the Gemstone of Life is quite lacking in this world, as everyone is capable of evolution as long as they obtain the genes from the genetic creatures," he says in disappointment.
[That is not entirely correct; the Gemstone of Life might not be useful for others but is an item capable of overturning this world itself in the hands of the host.]
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
[Host can give it to his soul blessing and make them undergo an evolution by sacrificing a certain amount of genes and soul energy.]
Once again, Leon is shocked by the system's ability; with this, he does not need to waste a slot and can equip any soul blessing he wants.
Everyone can use soul blessings, but only by equipping them can they increase their strength exponentially. Unequipped soul blessings are only capable of showcasing minimal power, but equipped ones can not only increase a certain trait of the user but are also able to gain power from the genes if the user wills it.
Unfortunately, once equipped, it is extremely difficult, to the point of impossibility, to unquip them. That is why many will keep their soul slots free until they find any soul blessings that are up to their standards and taste.
