My SSS-Rank Innate skill: Infinite Adaptation core

Back at Nova’s family home, the atmosphere had grown heavy with emotion. Jenna sat beside her son, hugging him tightly as if afraid he might disappear. Her eyes were filled with a deep mix of sadness and worry.

The thought that her baby had faced such terrifying horrors after leaving home for just a single day broke her heart. She still clearly remembered how often he used to get bullied by the other village children — weak, frail, and always coming home with bruises.

She had noticed the changes in him these past few days. Although he had awakened a powerful skill, he was still her same son. Yet now, sitting beside her, he was different — not just in his taller, muscular body, but in his entire attitude and demeanor.

He carried himself with newfound confidence and strength. Jenna didn’t complain about these changes. In fact, she was grateful. Whatever had happened, it had benefited her son greatly.

Edward sat across from them in silence, carefully processing everything his son had just revealed. It wasn’t unheard of for people to awaken powerful innate skills — he knew several famous individual who had done so.

Still, knowing his own son possessed such a high-ranking skill filled him with both immense pride and deep concern. The road ahead would no longer be simple or safe.

”Father, why are you still here?” Nova asked as he gently consoled his mother, who was still hugging him tightly. ”Didn’t the Duke call for you earlier? They must have already begun preparing for the battle.”

Edward nodded. ”Yeah... I only received the message through a messenger eagle a short while ago. Our village doesn’t have a proper public transmission device, so the news arrived late.

I was just getting ready to leave with the other knight guards.” He looked at his son seriously. ”Don’t tell me you’re planning to take part in the battle as well?”

Nova nodded with a calm, determined expression. ”As you already know, I’m an adventurer now. The guild has called upon all adventurers to join the defense since the lives of our people are at stake. Besides, I’m far stronger than before. I’ll be fine.”

”No! You will not go there!!” Jenna shouted, her voice filled with fear and desperation. After hearing everything her son had gone through, her protective instincts had grown even stronger.

Edward placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. ”It’s alright, Jenna. Let him go. You saw how powerful he has become — he’s already stronger than me. He won’t be fighting on the frontlines anyway. Now that he has found his own path, we can’t keep him locked away forever.”

”But darling...” Jenna tried to persuade her husband, her eyes pleading.

Before Edward could respond, Nova cut in softly, ”It’s alright, Mom. I promise I’ll come back before you know it. And when I do, I’ll have a surprise for you.”

Nova gave her a warm, reassuring smile. Jenna slowly pulled away from him, wiping her tears as she looked into his eyes. ”Promise me you’ll stay safe this time.”

”I promise,” Nova said sincerely.

Edward had already begun putting his armor back on, moving with practiced efficiency. As a Knight Captain, many responsibilities weighed on his shoulders. Once ready, he stood up with his sword in hand and asked, ”Will you come with me now?”

”I’ll stay with Mom for a few more hours,” Nova replied. ”We still have some time before evening. I’ll head out later.”

Edward nodded. ”Alright then. I’ll leave first. We’ll meet in the city.”

Jenna followed her husband outside to see him off. Once they were gone, Nova headed to his old room. He thought about storing his old clothes in his inventory, but quickly realized none of them would fit his new, taller, and much more muscular body.

He would need to buy new ones. And , he didn’t want to waste precious Evolution Points on something as simple as clothing.

Nova lay on his old bed, staring at the familiar ceiling of his childhood room. Although his body was now strong and tireless after the evolution, the deep mental exhaustion from many sleepless nights in the dungeon still weighed heavily on him.

{Well, you handled that better than I expected,}

Liya’s voice echoed playfully in his head.

”You think so?” Nova replied with a soft sigh, a small smile forming on his lips. ”I just told them the truth. It went smoother than I thought... especially with my father. My parents are far more understanding than I gave them credit for.”

He let out a relaxed breath, clearly enjoying the comforting feeling of being back in his own room.

”Never mind that...” Nova continued, his tone shifting with curiosity. ”I want to see your new form. You said you have a physical form now, right?” He paused for a moment before adding, ”I also want to see how the System Gacha works.”

{Hmph... Aren’t you being a little too desperate, Host?} Liya teased, though her voice carried clear amusement.

{Anyway, I’ve been waiting for you to ask~}

{Now, focus your mind on your forehead and imagine entering inside it. Yes, I mean literally inside your forehead.}

Nova followed her instructions without hesitation. He concentrated deeply on his forehead. In the next instant, his physical body vanished from the bed — becoming completely invisible while still present in the room.

His consciousness shifted, and he found himself standing in an endless blue expanse. There was nothing but vast, glowing blue sky above and an infinite blue plain stretching out in every direction.

No matter how far he looked, the surreal, ethereal space seemed to go on forever.

”Where the fuck am I?” Nova muttered, his voice laced with confusion as he stared into the endless blue void.

Suddenly, a smooth, sweet, and mature feminine voice resonated from directly behind him, sending a subtle shiver down his spine.

{You are in the System Space... a special realm created only for you and me.}

Nova’s heart jolted. He spun around sharply, eyes widening in shock.

There she stood.

A tall, breathtaking woman — easily 178 cm— with an outrageously sinful and voluptuous figure that seemed designed to test a man’s self-control. Her big heavy breasts strained against the thin white towel wrapped around her body for some reason, their soft, pale flesh spilling generously over the fabric.

They swayed with a heavy, natural weight, full and mature, jiggling slightly with even the smallest movement. The towel was clearly too small for her, barely managing to cover her nipples while leaving deep, inviting cleavage exposed.

Her waist was thick and soft, flaring out dramatically into wide, fertile hips and an enormous, round ass that looked impossibly plush.

Below that, her thick, powerful thighs pressed together, looking strong enough to crush steel yet soft enough to trap a man between them forever. As she shifted her weight, her hips and breasts jiggled hypnotically, the towel threatening to slip at any second.

But it was her face that truly stunned him.

She possessed the mature beauty of a sultry goddess elegant yet incredibly seductive, radiating a powerful ”mommy” aura that made Nova’s pulse quicken.

Her full lips curved into a knowing smile, and her eyes held a teasing, experienced gleam. She wasn’t cute or innocent like Rieka. She was the embodiment of mature, intoxicating femininity.

Nova stood frozen, unable to tear his eyes away, his throat suddenly dry as heat rushed through his body.

{Ahh~ ’Mommy’... I really like that word.} Liya’s voice dripped with seductive amusement. {Why don’t you call me Mommy, my sweet baby Nova~?}

”System... is that really you?” Nova muttered, completely dazed by the sheer beauty of the woman standing in front of him.

{Why do you look so surprised?} Liya giggled softly. {This form was created from your own imagination, you know. But I must say... I’m loving it. Especially the way your body is reacting to me... Hehe~}

As she laughed, her big breasts jiggled heavily, straining against the tiny towel. Nova felt his cock rapidly harden, becoming painfully stiff inside his pants. The intense reaction finally snapped him out of his trance.

”Why the fuck are you dressed like that?!” he blurted out, his face heating up.

{Huh? You’re complaining now?} Liya tilted her head with a teasing pout.

{I thought you liked it... But fine. Since I still don’t have a physical body, I can’t let you enjoy this fully yet~}

In an instant, the towel vanished and was replaced by a sleek, white futuristic bodysuit that clung tightly to every curve of her voluptuous figure.

Nova finally calmed down, though his erection was still throbbing. He hadn’t expected his System to manifest in such an overwhelmingly beautiful and sexy form.

Fortunately, her sinful body was now somewhat hidden. He stepped closer and asked, ”So... this is the System Training Space? Will it always look like this empty blue void?”

{Yes, this is your personal System Training Space,} Liya replied smoothly.

{And no, it doesn’t have to stay like this. You can change the scenery however you like , Though right now, because it’s only the first upgrade, your options are still limited.}

”Hmm... Now tell me how the Gacha System works,” Nova asked, trying to focus on the important matter. Although this upgrade excited him the most, seeing Liya’s current seductive form was making it difficult to concentrate. He was starting to have second thoughts.

{Hee hee~ Why are you so impatient, my dear Host?} Liya giggled playfully, clearly reading every single one of his thoughts. A system window suddenly materialized in front of them, glowing softly in the blue expanse.

{The Gacha System is quite simple. When you have enough currency, you can spin the wheel. Those currencies are called Gacha Keys. One Gacha Key costs 10,000 Evolution Points.}

”WHAT?!” Nova nearly screamed, his eyes widening in utter shock. ”Ten thousand points for just one key?!”

He was completely stunned. He had nearly died multiple times just to earn a little over a million Evolution Points, and now the system wanted to drain him dry again. This felt like outright robbery.

{What? Why are you so shocked?}

Liya tilted her head with an amused smile, her big chest jiggling slightly with the movement.

{Did you think a Gacha System would be cheap? If you’re lucky, you could obtain priceless treasures from it. So of course the price is high.}

”But still...” Nova started to complain again, frustration clear in his voice.

{No buts~} Liya interrupted him sweetly, stepping closer with a teasing grin. {Once you try it, you’ll get completely addicted. Besides, you can always earn more Evolution Points. Don’t be so stingy, my baby.}
