The System explained. [ I used to work like a machine earlier, but after the update, I can now speak and think like humans. You no longer need to give every command explicitly. When the conditions for a skill are met, it can be used automatically. ]
Yun's eyes lit up, "This is great! I don't have to strain my brain remembering every skill's name."
The System continued. [ However, to use abilities and vouchers, you must say the name of the ability or voucher, either aloud or to yourself. For abilities, just the name is enough; the best option will be used automatically. For example, if you say 'Defense,' the System will activate the appropriate defense ability based on the situation. ]
Yun grinned mischievously, "Now let's copy a new ability!"
The System hesitated. [ Hmm... What should I call you, host or friend? ]
Yun chuckled, "Smirk! Call me whatever you want; no one will scold you."
The System decided. [ Ok, then for now, I'll call you Host. ]
A Few Days Later
Yun arrived at a quaint restaurant nestled near a historical museum in France. As the clock struck 2 AM, Yun sat hunched over his laptop, his fingers dancing across the keyboard. Suddenly, he whispered to the System, "Use Invisibility Voucher and Ability Agility."
The System responded promptly.
[ Invisibility Voucher being used on host.
Time Left: 29 m 59 s ...
Ability Agility being used. You can run 25 km/hr. Time Left: 59 s. ]
With his new abilities activated, Yun slipped into the museum undetected, his footsteps silent as he navigated through the darkened halls. He made his way straight to a relic, its display case surrounded by a labyrinth of laser beams. But Yun was unfazed, his hands reaching out to claim the relic with confidence.
The System's voice echoed in his mind.
[ A relic of a dead creature has been detected. ]
[ Energy Level: Yellow, Grade Gold. ]
[ Skill: Ability Extraction+ Dead (⊹) being used on the target.
Information of the target:
Name: Spectrasaurus(meaning "ghost lizard")
Appearance: The Spectrasaurus has a remarkable ability to turn invisible, thanks to its advanced skin cells that can bend light around its body. Its body is covered in specialized scales that reflect and refract light, making it nearly invisible in the right conditions.
Abilities:
1. Stealth Mode: The ability to become nearly invisible and blend into the environment.
In Stealth Mode, the Spectrasaurus can:
- Blend into its surroundings, matching colors and textures.
- Become nearly invisible, bending light around its body.
- Move quietly and unseen, striking from the shadows.
2. Enhanced senses: Its senses are heightened, allowing it to detect subtle vibrations and changes in its environment.
Shadow Travel: Spectrasaurus can teleport short distances through shadows, allowing it to move undetected.
3. Illusion Generation: It can create elaborate illusions, making it difficult for predators or prey to discern reality.
Adaptive Armor: Its scales can harden to deflect attacks or soften to absorb impacts.
Weaknesses:
1. Energy drain: Using its abilities drains energy, leaving it vulnerable if used excessively.
2. Sensitivity to light: Bright lights can disrupt its concentration, making it harder to maintain invisibility.
3. Vulnerability to sonic attacks: Loud noises can stun and disorient the Spectrasaurus.
Habitat: The Spectrasaurus inhabits the dense, tropical forests of the Jurassic period, where its invisibility abilities allow it to thrive.
Behavior: Spectrasaurus is a solitary hunter, using its invisibility and illusions to stalk prey and sneak up on unsuspecting victims. Despite its stealthy nature, it has a curious and playful side, often interacting with other Spectrasaurs in complex social dynamics.
Additional details:
-The Spectrasaurus can maintain Stealthmode for a long period.
- The Spectrasaurus has a unique "cloak" of scales on its back that can be raised and lowered to control its invisibility.
- It has a distinctive "chameleon-like" tongue that helps it catch prey.
- Spectrasaurus can generate powerful illusions, making it difficult for predators or prey to discern reality. ]
The System prompted. [ Choose one of the target's abilities. ]
Yun deliberated, "Hmm... I wanted to choose Stealth Mode Ability, but Shadow Travel is also enticing. With Shadow Travel, I can teleport from one place to another as a shadow, but I won't remain invisible. And there might be additional limitations. I can't afford to take risks and compromise my objective. I'll stick with my initial choice, Stealth Mode Ability."
The System confirmed. [ Ability Stealth Mode being copied..."
After a brief moment, the System announced. [ Success! Congratulations, Host! You have successfully learned a new ability. ]
Yun felt a surge of excitement and a sense of accomplishment. He had acquired a valuable new skill, Stealth Mode, which would aid him in his future endeavors. With this ability, he could move undetected, gathering information and completing objectives without being seen.
[ Ability: Stealth Mode
Description: You can blend into your surroundings, matching colors and textures and become invisible by bending light around your body.
Limitation:
1. Using this ability will consume more energy than Invisibility Voucher.
2. If you can't maintain your concentration in bright lights and your concentration disrupt then it will be harder to maintain invisibility.
3. This ability is vulnerable to sonic attacks like loud noises. So if you come Into any loud sound or Sonic waves then the use of the ability will be canceled.
Time Limit: 10 min
Cooldown: 30 min. ]
Yun chuckled, "Ha ha, I did a lot of planning to learn this ability. First, I hacked the museum's system using my hacking ability. Then, I left a fake recording on repeat in the monitors and turned off the alarm. I wanted an ability that would allow me to access all the museums and places where normal people are not allowed to go, since most original relics are kept in such places."
He continued, "Today, after using an invisibility voucher, I have only 5 left, and they're for one-time use only. That's why I wanted an invisibility ability, even if it's just for one minute. But surprise! I got a time limit of full 10 minutes."
The System asked. [ When you had done so much planning, then why did you waste the Invisibility Voucher? ]
Yun replied, "Because I didn't want to take any risk."
With 10 minutes and 59 seconds left on the Invisibility Voucher, the System suggested. [ Why don't you copy the abilities of more relics? ]
Yun declined, "No, not today. We'll start tomorrow. Today we will just rest."
He had accomplished his objective for the day, and with the newfound Stealthmode ability, he was eager to plan his next move. The possibilities were endless, and Yun looked forward to exploring more relics and uncovering their secrets.
The Next Day
Yun ventured to another museum in France, Water Relics, under the cover of night, following the same pattern as before. However, this time, he opted to utilize his newly acquired Stealthmode ability to reach the relic, rather than relying on an Invisibility Voucher. With the relic in hand, Yun expected the System to activate the skills, but instead, it remained silent.
Yun queried, "System, why are you not activating the skills?"
The System responded. [ Because I didn't detect any relic. ]
Yun's confusion grew, "What do you mean? I have the relic in my hand."
The System revealed. [ It's fake. Either this relic was fake from the beginning, or someone has stolen the real relic and replaced it with a fake one. ]
Yun's disappointment was palpable, "What? But I had collected the correct information. Now what about my hard work?"
The System probed. [ Host, when did you gather this information? ]
Yun's curiosity was piqued, "Why are you asking this? I had collected this information almost 40 years ago... Oh! You mean to say that something has happened to this relic in these 40 years? But I would have got information about it if this relic was stolen and sold in the black market or in some underground auction."
The System suggested. [ Maybe this relic has not been revealed for auction yet. ]
Yun contemplated, "Hmm, you are right. It's possible that the relic was stolen or replaced without my knowledge."
The System inquired. [ By the way, whose relic is this? ]
Yun replied, "According to my information, this relic belongs to a marine reptile from the Jurassic era, specifically the Ichthyosaurus Imperator, also known as the Ocean Overlord. That's why I came to this Water Relics Museum, hoping to acquire a valuable ability from this ocean overlord. But now, it seems that won't be easy."
The System suggested. [ Host, why worry about this one? Copy the ability of another relic instead. There are many relics in this museum. ]
Yun agreed, "You're right. How much time is left for the Stealthmode ability?"
The System responded. [ Time left: 7 minutes. ]
Yun instructed, "There is still a lot of time left."
With Stealthmode still active, Yun grabbed another relic without hesitation. The System announced. [ A new relic is discovered. Skill: Ability Extraction+ Dead & Skill: Energy Sense is being activated. ]
[ The information about relic is being retrieved which is as follows:
Name: Hydrodynes (meaning "water power" in Greek)
Energy Level: Yellow, Grade Platinum.
Length: 12-18 meters (39-59 feet)
Weight: 15-25 tons
Hydrodynes is a Jurassic era dinosaur, evolved for high-speed aquatic pursuits. Its sleek, torpedo-shaped body, powerful tail, and webbed limbs allow it to achieve remarkable velocities. Hydrodynes also called ocean's speediest predator.
Abilities:
1. Tidal Surge: Hydrodynes can create a massive wave, knocking back enemies and clearing a path.
2. Maelstrom: It can generate a powerful whirlpool, dragging down prey or predators and leaving them disoriented.
3. Turbo Boost: swim speed of up to 500 km/h, accelerated propulsion

8. Hydrodynamic Mastery: It can control water currents and pressure to enhance its speed, agility, or defense.
9. Thermal Regulation: Hydrodynes can adjust its body temperature to survive in extreme environments, from icy waters to hydrothermal vents.
10. Enhanced Propulsion: Hydrodynes can generate intense water jets for rapid acceleration and deceleration.
11. Aquatic Maneuverability: It can make sharp turns and quick changes in direction, making it highly agile in water. ]
[ Choose one of the target's abilities. ]
Yun exclaimed, "What? So many awesome abilities! Now it's going to be tough to choose. All of these abilities are great, but I can only select one. I think the first, second, sixth, seventh, eighth, and tenth abilities might have more limitations, so I'll rule those out. I don't need the fourth and eleventh abilities, and the fifth ability isn't special enough. That leaves me with the third and ninth abilities. The ninth ability could be useful, but the third ability, Turbo Boost, could also be a game-changer. Okay, I've made my decision - I choose the third ability, Turbo Boost!"
With a sense of determination, Yun selected Turbo Boost, eager to unlock its potential and enhance his capabilities.
[ Third Ability: Turbo Boost is being copied. ]
[ 4m 59s left to copy the ability. ]
[ Copying complete. ]
[ Congratulations host you have learned a new ability.
Ability's Name: Turbo Boost
Limitation: You can swim only at a speed of 25 km/hr.
Time Limit: 10 minutes
Cooldown: 1 hr. ]
[ A new relic has been dected. Skill: Ability Extraction+ Dead & Skill: Energy Sense being activated.
