Chapter 19: Lineage: Abyssal
[Gravity Manipulation(A) - Control the gravity level of a radius of certain meters. Distance depends on the number of points of perception stats]
[Precognition (S) - See 10 seconds into the future of anything of actions or words.]
[Berserker's Bloodlust(B) - Increase of all constitution stats by 100%, strength and agility are also increased by additional 200% when opponent is far stronger than user]
Zen looked through his inventory and noticed only two skill books, he wished he could get Shinsuke's skill but it did not drop. He furgher understood that, skill dropping was random, it was 50/50, so was equipmenf drops.
He immediately added the two skill books to his skill slots as they disappeared into a flash of light. He still had a number of skillbooks in his inventory which he didn't want and be planned on giving them out.
He looked at the three equipments lying in his inventory, a spear, a ring and a ball that pulsed like a heartbeat.
Zen took out the spear, as soon as it landed in his hand, the normal spear morphed into a longer golden spear with silver engravings on its body, the spear head was bright silver, plus the spear weighed a lot. Even with the increase in his strength stats, Zen still had a little trouble carrying it.
He remembered the spear had appeared in his inventory after he had killed the chubby man, this was the fate weapon.
[Overlord Spear of End(Unique) - Can only be wielded by the fated. Only wielded to pierce through enemies, it is not meant for child's play. Cannot be kept in the inventory]
[Equipment Perks: 50% increase in damage power, 50% increase of all basic stats]
[Current Bound: Zen Kurokami]
Zen read through the description before he stared at the spear in his hand, it was a very decent weapon, while he held the spear, he felt some connection to it, like he had used it before.
"I'll test it out later" Zen muttered as he kept the spear by his side and pulled out the second equipment. A ring with a black marble embedded on it floated in front of Zen who lokked at it with curiosity.
[Emperor's Ring(Unique)]
[Perks: Inducement of Emperor aura, 100% increase in intelligence stats, ignore the pressure from beings with higher levels]
[Current Bound - Zen Kurokami]
Zen immediately wore it, and he didn't feel any change but if anyone was in the room they would notice that Zen's bearing now had a noble touch in it.
Looking at the ball in his inventory, Zen felt conflicted as he did not know what the ball was. It felt like an animate object but like an inanimate object at the same time.
[Eldritch Symbiote (???) - a symbiote with the gene of a redefined symbiote, grants it's host benefits in exchange for it's host's blood]
[Do you wish to serve as host?]
Zen stared at the prompt in front of him as he looked at the requirement, in exchange for his benefit, the symbiote would have to take his blood. It seems fair considering the benefits he would receive.
The ball appeared in front of Zen and slammed into his chest before spreading and covering him completely before it receded into his body.
[Symbiote assimilation Complete]
[Due to presence of primordial energy within you, symbiote has advanced and attached to your genome code. With every advancement in level, the symbiote increases in level]
[Perks]
1. +5000 of all stats
2. Armour - creates an armour on the host which can absorb attacks and even attack enemies.
3. Shapeshift - transform into a huge humanoid beast of a 100% compabiliy with the host.
When Zen saw the perks, he gasped at how strong it was. It was too Overpowered, but he became solemn when he recalled how people were advancing too. He still remembered how fortunate he was in his one shot of Shinsuke.
If his nullification skill had not cancelled out Shinsuke's law skill completely, he would have completely lost.
Pulling himself from his thoughts, he looked solemnly at his status. He noticed his lineage which had a questions had updated. This had happened when he had just advanced to level 10,and he had not had the chance to check it.
[Lineage - Ancient Abyssals]
[Ancient Abyssals - When the universe was created from Chaos, they existed, while it was destroyed, they never went extinct, they are the first entities to exist from which other lineages came from]
Zen stared at the prompt for a while as he tried to process what his lineage was. His forefathers were literally the first people to come into existence and from them, other lineages came. That brought the question, why did he not have the lineage of any others with the highest compatibility with him.
[You have all lineages in your genes, the records saw it as a characteristic of the ancient abyssals, the first beings of the universe]
"That's fair." Zen nodded as he immediately understood. His family tree had the bloodline of all other lineages passed through them.
Zen stood up and walked towards the window and looked outside, it was already night and the moon was already shining out from behind a few clouds. The surroundings of the apartment complex had been cleaned up, the dead bodies of the women were buried while the men killed in the act were thrown out to the aberrants. The remaining survivors had been allowed to take up rooms inside the complex, luckily the rooms were enough.
"Maybe I'll make this place my base... But first, I'll scout out the surroundings and maybe grind" Zen said as he climbed on the window pane and jumped out.
He landed on the floor making sure not to make any sound. When he stood properly, he heard the sound of sword clashing by his ear and was immediately stunned, he turned to see a sword being stopped by a black red substance that was attached to his body.
He looked towards the assailant, and was stunned. Raven was standing behind him with her shortswords drawn, she was dressed in a pink pyjamas which brought out her figure.
Because she had been wearing armour when Zen had first seen her, he never knew she hid so much wonder beneath those armour.
"What are you doing?" Zen asked.
"I should be asking you, what were you trying to do jumping out the window" Raven said as her cheeks flushed red, she kept feeling Zen's gaze on her body.
"Well, I can't sleep and I'm bursting with energy, I wanted to check out the surroundings and maybe gain some extra experience point" Zen said with a shrug as he held his chin with his left hand and his right hand under his left arm. He looked at Raven with a contemplating expression.
"It's an 8/10"
"You pervert!" Raven cursed as she swung her dagger and attacked Zen.
