'Hmm… Expand Attributes and explain.'
[Attributes]
[Wind Affinity: Pure — The bloodline of Wind that veins inside you is the purest kind, akin to gods of winds themselves.]. You have extremely high affinity for wind magic, Your Wind magic affinity is so pure that your potential among the natural-born talent is highest. A level of affinity that is only found among the Nobles of the Wind. Your body becomes lighter, your speed, reactions and stamina are greatly increased, and your mind becomes calmer and more serene. (Source: Currently unknown.)
'Bloodline?' was the word that caught the most attention from Ember. Ever since he could remember, he had been an orphan, Even the sisters at the orphanage told him that he was found on the stairs of the nearby church as a toddler with nothing more to his name than an old tattered blanket and a poorly made straw basket.
'Wait, maybe I am just reading too much into it. Yeah that is probably the case; it's probably just a term or something. I'll just have to ask Carasan later. Ember took a mental note; he would ask Carasan about this bloodline business as soon as he got the opportunity.
[Fire Affinity: Maxim]—The bloodline of Fire within you transcends the mortal bounds, an affinity so strong that even gods cannot compare to it. You have an unnatural affinity to fire; your potential is limitless and transcends all natural-born talent. Your Strength, speed, stamina, HP and Mana Recovery are greatly increased; Your Mana becomes domineering; You are completely Immune to fire, when exposed to fire, you begin to passively absorb it, raising your HP and Mana recovery according to the Temperature, Type and quantity of the flame, You can control the temperatures of anything you make contact to some degree. (Source: The Phoenix)
This next explanation made him question his origins even more; the 'Wind Affinity' attribute listed it's source as unknown, while the fire affinity clearly listed it as the 'Phoenix'.
'Man, this is too much; I should just not think about it for a while.'
[Phoenix Remnant]—You have the last remnant of phoenix, the last ember of its flames still burning inside you as a result, you gain following benefits: The effect of all of your stats are drastically increased, Your Mana and HP recovery are raised to the highest degree. (Feature incomplete; rest will be revealed later.) (Source: Phoenix)]
'Incomplete! That's incomplete! Man I cannot wait to see how strong the completed version will be.' Ember was excited for what possibilities this could entail, but an even bigger question to him was, 'How the hell am I even supposed to complete it.'
'Calm down, Ember, Calm down... don't stress over things which you have no control over.' Ember calmed himself down. 'Now let's move on to the skills, then, Open skill tab!'
[Skills]
[Flame Generation (Lvl.1): By channeling your Mana in the palms of your hands, you can use them as fuel and generate fire, The amount of fire and it's intensity depends on the amount of Mana you channel.]
Flame Control (Lvl.1): By focusing your Mana and expanding it outside your body, you can control and shape your flames. The amount of flames that you can control and the complexity of the task you can accomplish with this control depends on the amount of Mana you use. (Warning: doing something too complex with Flame control without an appropriately high level may result in dynamic Physical and Mental strain.)
[Flame Absorb (Lvl.1)]: Whenever you make contact with flames, you can focus and absorb the said flame and recover an appropriate amount of Mana and HP by doing so. The amount of Mana and HP you recover will vary depending on the Amount, Intensity and Type of flame; special flames may have a special effect.
'So these are all the Active skills; they look pretty good. It's good that I am immune to flame now; I actually even heal from it.' Ember grimaced, remembering the incident of last night and how much pain he had felt when he was burning alive. 'I never want to experience that again.'
'Now let's see the passive skills.'
[Mana Body (Passive) (Lvl.1)] Your body is built differently compared an average human, your body is extremely attuned to Mana, you regain Mana over time without needing to actively focus on recovering it. Your body always exudes a thin layer of mana, which protects you from harm and enhances your physical capabilities immensely. You can channel extra Mana into your body to increase the effects of Mana Body.
'Whoa, Isn't this too strong?' Ember was getting more and more shocked as the revelations came flooding in; he was honestly getting a bit tired of being surprised over and over again.
'Now let's see! Wait, there are two more... why are they blacked out. System Expand the last two skills'
[??? — ??////a41409*&$&*()_21?#9jd(*&^453]
[Error!]
[Error!]
[Error! You currently do not meet the requirements for these skills.
Ember would sigh as he closed the door. As he did, another one appeared In front of him named
[Skill Evolution]
The user must note that levering raises it's efficiency and power only by a slight margin. To actually make these skills grow much stronger, the user must put them to use. The more user use them, learn unique applications of them and master them to their entirety, the skill may have a chance to undergo an evolution. An evolution not only greatly increases a skill's powers and efficiency but also upgrades it's effect. Leveling up skills is still vital, as the higher the level of the skill, the more chances it has to evolve.
'Well, That's certainly something.' Ember said as he was wanting to test out his skills for a while now anyway. 'Now is not the time, Probably should check the last three tabs first, Open Evolution tab!'
[Accessing Evolution Tab]
[Current Stage: Human with remnant of Phoenix]
[Next Stage: ???]
[Requirement to reach next stage: Unknown]
This tab didn't give Ember any new information.
"What's just it, I was hoping for something more, honestly. System Expand!" Ember said out loud, not realising it at first.
But nothing happened; the system was unresponsive.
'Is it because I accidentally said it out loud? System tell me about the evolution tab.'
The system was unresponsive for a while until —
[Evolution tab: It track progress and growth of your Phoenix powers and Shows you next possible steps that you can take to evolve into a better version of yourself.]
This was certainly lacking in comparison to what Ember hoped to find out. Disappointed, he moved on to the Inventory Tab —
[Accessing Inventory…]
[Inventory is empty; would you like to store something?]
Ember was expecting it to be empty, but he didn't expect the latter half of the text.
His eyes immediately darted around in the room, landing on the tatters that he wore last night. He immediately picked them up and as soon as he did, the tatters disappeared.
[As long you are touching something that's of lesser size that you, you could store and retrieve it with thought.]
And it was as simple as just thinking; with a simple thought, the piece of cloth was back in his hand.
'This is so convenient... now onto the final tab,' Ember thought, '... Open the quest tab.

[Congratulations! You have completed the quest, 'Successor of the Phoenix (1)'."
