After 50 Years
Fifty years had passed since Yun's journey began, and his relentless pursuit of power had yielded remarkable progress. Fifteen years ago, his energy level had reached Orange, Grade Silver, enabling him to copy the abilities of Petraeus, Terrance, and numerous other corpses that were previously beyond his grasp due to his low level.
Now, Yun's energy level had soared to Orange, Grade Platinum, a testament to his unwavering dedication. He had successfully copied the abilities of approximately 500,000 human corpses, each one expanding his repertoire of abilities.
Fifteen years ago, Yun had received intel about a martial artist who had achieved the pinnacle of combat mastery and weapon mastery. The pursuit of this individual's abilities had become an all-consuming quest, spanning decades. Finally, after an arduous search, Yun had discovered the grave of the legendary Kalaregyatnas, born in India. The moment of truth had arrived, and Yun was ready to claim Kalaregyatnas' abilities as his own.

The System alerted. [ Warning! Host, Kalaregyatnas's level is significantly higher than yours. Copying Kalaregyatnas's abilities requires your permission. Do you want to proceed? ]
Yun's determination surged, "I can't wait to reach Kalaregyatnas's level. System, I grant you permission to copy Kalaregyatnas's abilities."
The System acknowledged. [ Permission accepted. Copying abilities... ]
Yun's voice strained, "Argh! It's bearable... Aaaaaaargh! System, use Regeneration and healing ability, hurry!"
The System responde. [ Dragon King's Regeneration and healing abilities being used. ]
Yun panted heavily, "Pant! Pant! Pant! I thought I could bear with it... Pant! But I was wrong... Pant! Phew! It feels much better now."
The System announced. [ Abilities of Kalaregyatnas being copied... Copying complete. ]
Yun had successfully copied Kalaregyatnas's abilities, but the process had pushed him to his limits. The regeneration and healing abilities had helped alleviate the pain, and he could now breathe a sigh of relief.
[ Congratulation host You have learned new abilities.

Yun inquired, "System, if an ability is locked, can I merge that ability with another ability using the Ability Merger Voucher?"
The System replied. [ Yes, you can. ]
Yun's eyes gleamed with excitement as he commanded, "Now, System, use the Ability Merger Voucher and merge Dragon King's Healing Ability, Dragon King's Shielding Ability, and Kalaregyatnas's Omniweapon Mastery Ability."
The System acknowledged. [ Three abilities into one being merged using Ability Merger Voucher... ]
The air seemed to vibrate with anticipation as the abilities began to combine, their energies swirling together in a dazzling display of power. The merge was complete, and Yun felt an unprecedented surge of strength course through him.
[ Congratulation host for your 3rd new Skill. ]
"System, what is the resulting skill?" Yun asked, his voice filled with wonder.
The System responded. [ The merged ability is now known as 'Omni Harmony Mastery.' This skill combines the healing and shielding aspects of the Dragon King's abilities with Kalaregyatnas's Omniweapon Mastery, granting you unparalleled versatility and power. ]

Yun asked, "So, does this mean that if this skill reaches max level, I'll be able to use it to its full potential without any limitations?"
He then commanded, "System, use Ability Enhancer Voucher on the skill Omni Harmony Mastery."
However, the System responded with a series of disheartening messages: [ Failed! Voucher can't be used. Cause: It's a skill, not an ability. This voucher can't be used on a skill. ]
Yun's confusion deepened, "What? Are skills and abilities different?"
The System explained. [ Yes, they are. You can only copy abilities, not skills. Everyone has abilities, but not skills. Abilities are created from life experiences, while skills are created by the System. You can use abilities anytime, but skills can only be used in the presence of the System. Skills cannot be used when the System is offline.
Exception: Skills created by the host through self-enlightenment or skills created by the host with the help of a reward from the System can be used even when the System is down. ]

Skill Enhancer Voucher+1
Description: You can use this voucher to max the level of self creating skill (i.e. which has not been given to you by the system itself but which you have either created yourself or created with the help of a reward from the system). ]
Yun spoke with a hint of playful reproach, "You could have given me this reward earlier too. Never mind. Use Skill Enhancer Voucher on this Skill Omni Harmony Mastery."
The System responded. [ Skill Enhancer Voucher being used on Skill Omni Harmony Mastery... Congratulations, Host! Your new skill's level has reached max. ]
With a warm smile, Yun thought, "Finally, I can unlock the true potential of Omni Harmony Mastery." As the System's message faded, Yun felt an surge of energy and a deep sense of accomplishment. He knew that this maxed-out skill would unlock new possibilities and enhance his abilities. With a sense of excitement, Yun wondered what other adventures awaited him.

Five seconds later, the System asked. [ What did you see? ]
Yun replied, "Nothing. I didn't see anything. There was nothing in that place except darkness. Is my future full of darkness?"
The System reassured. [ There's nothing like that, Host. Maybe your fate hasn't been decided yet, or your today's actions or the path you choose will decide your future. ]

Yun wondered, "Ready? For what?"
