My SSS-Rank Innate skill: Infinite Adaptation core

”Alright, but before we start, I’ll do it in the system training space while you sit on my lap again. You might not believe me, but you’re very lucky for me.”

{”....”}

Liya didn’t say anything. The next second, Nova vanished into thin air from the room and reappeared inside the training space. This time, the background was completely different—a cozy girl’s room, warm and inviting, with no vast, never-ending expanse.

He saw Liya sitting on the virtual bed in a cute yellow frock that looked incredibly seductive on her voluptuous, mature figure. Her beautiful face lit up with a wide smile the moment she saw him.

Nova sat on the floor of the room and gestured for Liya to come sit on his lap. She didn’t hesitate for a second, appearing right above his lap. It was obvious she couldn’t feel him physically anyway, since this wasn’t her real body.

She had only gained a physical form after the first system upgrade. Nova desperately wanted to feel her, and he couldn’t wait for the next upgrade. It all depended on him—possible only once he reached his second evolution.

Still, he was happy to see Liya in this ordinary yet pretty yellow dress, so different from her usual futuristic bodysuit.

{Do I look beautiful~?}

Liya asked with a smile. Nova couldn’t see her face since he was facing her back, but he answered warmly, ”You look very beautiful. I wish I could hug you right now.”

{Hehehe... I’m happy to hear that, and I want that too, but we have to wait.}

She giggled cutely and replied in an alluring tone. ”Alright then, I’m going to begin now. I have already chosen the first fusion I’m going to do.”

Nova gazed at the system panel floating in front of them. He reached out with his finger, carefully selecting the skills he wanted to fuse together.

For the first fusion, he decided to create a new skill by combining all his weapon-related skills . He selected them and activated the fusion. Instantly, he felt a massive amount of mana drain from his body.

[Skill Fusion Activated]

[Analyzing Selected Items...]

[Skills Confirmed]

• Infinite Arms Mastery (A-Rank)

• Sword Might (A-Rank)

• Weapon Mastery (B-Rank)

[Fusion Requirements Met]

[Initiating Fusion Process.....]

DING!!

[Fusion Successful]

[Congratulations!!]

[You have acquired a new passive skill]

[Rank: S]

Description:

[The ultimate weapon mastery skill. Upon wielding any weapon this universe has to offer, the user instantly comprehends its structure, mechanics, and combat principles. Training speed and proficiency with all weapons are elevated to monstrous levels, allowing mastery that would normally take decades to be achieved within a fraction of the time.

The skill also grants keen insight into enemy weapons, revealing flaws, weak points, and vulnerabilities that can be exploited to cripple or destroy them. No weapon remains foreign, and no style remains beyond comprehension.]

”Fuck yeah!!” Nova exclaimed. ”I got another overpowered skill. I don’t know... now I feel like someone is pranking me by handing me these crazy, absurd skills just to take it all the way in the end.”

He shook his head in disbelief. Can you believe it? Not only can I wield every fucking kind of weapon in this universe and master it in very little time, but on top of that, I can even find my enemies’ weak points in their weapons.

{You’re being too dramatic here, my darling host~ It’s actually a very natural and logical outcome if you look at it carefully. From the skills you selected to fuse, two of them were weapon mastery skills and one was sword-related, so it was obvious they would fuse into something similar but far more powerful.}

{And don’t get too excited yet. As I’ve already mentioned, using high-rank skills—especially those above S-rank—consumes a huge amount of mana. It drains far too much from you since your level is still low, with the only exception being your innate skill. So I suggest you level up quickly and grow stronger to use all these skills to their fullest.}

”Hmm, you’re right... I guess I was being overly dramatic.” Nova sighed. ”Anyway, let’s get on with the next one.”

He selected all the items he wanted and activated the fusion skill once more. But something unexpected happened.

[The Skill Fusion has entered a cooldown period.]

[Remaining Cooldown: 24:00:00]

[Please wait until the cooldown expires before attempting another fusion.]

[The cooldown may be bypassed by consuming Evolution Points.]

[Cost: 100,000 Evolution Points]

[Would you like to ignore the cooldown?]

[YES] [NO]

”The fuck? I can only use it once and then wait twenty-four hours for the cooldown to end? And what in the fucking world—100,000 EP?! Are you kidding me? No way in hell I’m paying that much. For fuck’s sake, I don’t even have that many!” Nova erupted in annoyance, the sweet taste of success cruelly snatched away just as he was getting started.

{Oh god... Host, calm down. I know how pathetic it feels.}

Liya tried to soothe him as she turned toward him, gently cupping both of his cheeks with her hands. Even though she couldn’t actually touch him, the gesture was tender. She looked at him with a beautiful, reassuring smile.

{Think carefully. This skill is highly absurd and law-breaking. If there was no cooldown, that would actually be weirder... So both the cooldown and the cost are completely valid.}

Hearing Liya’s words, Nova gradually calmed down. He understood her point. His Fusion skill was indeed highly broken, and when he thought it through, it made perfect sense. Besides, twenty-four hours wasn’t even that long—he could easily wait until tomorrow to try again.

And he still had his class to check out.

{Okay, let me give you something that will lighten your mood.}

The moment Liya finished speaking, another notification appeared before them.

DING!!

[Achievement Unlocked]

[You have successfully created an original skill through your own knowledge, creativity, and understanding.]

[This achievement cannot be earned through ordinary skill acquisition.]

[Great Achievement Received]

[Reward Issued]

+100,000 Evolution Points

”What?! 100,000 Evolution Points as a reward?” Nova’s eyes widened in delight. ”But why didn’t I get the notification right after I created the skill?”

He was overjoyed by the incredible reward, yet his curiosity couldn’t be contained.

{I was holding back these notifications on purpose. I wanted to surprise you,}

Liya said with a beautiful smile lighting up her face. She folded her arms beneath her chest, causing her soft, generous mounds to perk up and bulge outward enticingly.

{Since you like EP so much, I knew this would work perfectly—and it looks like it successfully made you forget your anger.}

”Hmm... it was really a nice surprise. Thanks, darling... you’re the best,” Nova said with a warm, genuine smile that made Liya blush deeply.

After a few peaceful minutes, Nova continued, ”Now I won’t be using the EP to bypass the cooldown, even though I have enough. I can wait twenty-four hours. So let’s talk about my class now.”

{Hmm... let me give you a detailed explanation of your class. Believe me, it will shock you... I can’t wait to see your reaction.}

{Your class is called Slaughter Monarch. It’s a Legendary class.}

Description:

[A legendary class that grows stronger with every kill. Fallen enemies can be resurrected as loyal undead soldiers, forming an ever-growing army of death. Their overwhelming killing intent turns battlefields into domains of slaughter.]

{I’ll rephrase the description with better clarity.}

{A ruler born upon mountains of corpses. The Slaughter Monarch grows stronger through endless bloodshed, commanding a legion of fallen warriors known as the Dreadborn.

Every enemy slain becomes a potential soldier, their experiences become the Monarch’s, and every battlefield, every war, becomes a source of power. As the number of slain foes increases, so too does the Monarch’s authority over death itself.}

{This class comes with many traits:}

• [Monarch’s Requiem]

Every enemy killed by the user has a chance to rise as a Dreadborn under the Monarch’s command.

• [Aura of Carnage]

Enemies within a certain radius suffer fear and weakened combat abilities. The effect grows stronger with the number of enemies killed by the user.

• [Blood Harvest]

Absorbs a portion of the life force from slain enemies, restoring Mana, Stamina, and Health.

{There are more traits, but because your class is only at Level 1 right now, they remain locked.}

”So basically... I can make my own legion of dead enemies I kill, and their experiences also become mine... Doesn’t this mean that if they kill and level up, I’ll level up as well?” Nova asked, barely containing his excitement.

{Yes... you’re right. This will be a great addition to your fast growth once you start building your own legion.}

”Hmm... I can’t wait to try my class trait, but I’ll be needing a dead enemy first...” Nova paused, a spark of realization lighting up his face. ”Wait... haven’t I got many?”

The next second, he summoned forth a mountain of corpses—lesser Wolfangs, hunter Wolfangs, elite Wolfangs, and among them rested the massive, cleaved body of the Moonclaw Tyrant.

{Hmm... these could work... but I would suggest you try with the largest one first and turn the rest of the corpses into its meal. It will increase its level further beyond its original one.}

Nova understood her suggestion immediately. It would be far better to create one truly powerful undead rather than thousands of weak ones. After all, he only wanted the strongest in his legion.

The next second, Nova activated his Voidborne Telekinesis skill. With a mere thought, he pulled the massive corpse of the Moonclaw Tyrant directly in front of him. He gazed at the enormous body, a faint hint of sadness resurfacing in his eyes.

Yet beneath it, a quiet happiness stirred—he could bring him back to a form of life now, even if it would be one of undead.

He activated his class trait: Monarch’s Requiem.

A notification immediately appeared before him.

[Choose a command to call the Dreadborn.]

[This choice will be considered permanent, so choose carefully.]
