Lucien stood in awe, rendered completely speechless as he gazed at the shimmering hologram that floated gracefully before him. Its ethereal glow cast soft shadows around the room, illuminating the perplexed expression on his face. His mind buzzed with a torrent of questions, each more bewildering than the last. What kind of extraordinary magic had conjured this dazzling figure? How had it materialized out of thin air? The air felt charged with energy, and Lucien's heart raced as he struggled to comprehend the surreal phenomenon unfolding before him
"Player? What's a player..? What is this thing in front of me? I have so many questions about what's happening right now.." Lucien's voice is filled with confusion and uncertainty about the series of events that happened to him earlier and right now
Lucien stands up and touches the hologram that is in front of him, but nothing happens. He tried to punch it, but it reappeared again and again, no matter how much he punched it.
Suddenly, the text written on the hologram changed, and Lucien stared at it with complete concentration, his face an inch away from the hologram.
[Searching for your path..]
[Choosing your path..]
[No path matches your description within the System.]
[Due to the ■■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■■■ controlling your Magical Core, your Path cannot be determined.]
[The System will search for a similar Path]
[Searching your path..]
[Choosing your path..]
[Your path has been chosen!]
[Your path is a Summoner!]
Lucien now learned what the holographic thing was called. It's called a "System". A wave of realization hits him as he finally understands what the thing is called.
"So it's called a System. And what's this Summoner path I have? Am I supposed to summon things like weapons, creatures, or anything I want?" Lucien's voice is filled with curiosity when the system finally chooses the path he will be using, but that excitement didn't last long. As Lucien thinks more about the System.
"Wait.. how is the System created? Who created the System? And why does the system gatekeep the reason about cannot be determined, and instead it chooses a "Summoner" Path?" Lucien's questions about the system have increased, but he shrugged off those questions for now, as he decided to focus on the main part. His "Summoner" Path.
Lucien reaches for the System, and with the touch of his finger, the interface of the System changes, and it transfers him to his Status Window.
Name: Lucien Sincraidel
Level: 1
Path: Summoner (Chronology 1)
Ability: "Summon: Parasite"
Passive ability: "Cull The Herd"
Stats:
STR: 0
AGI: 0
INT: 0
VIT: 0
PER: 0
MP: 20
Points to allocate: 5
When Lucien saw his Status Window, he had no idea or knowledge of how he would use the system, how he would get stronger using the system, or how he could view the skills that he had as if he were reading an instruction paper without instructions.
"Since I can touch the System, maybe that's how I could allocate the point I had by touching the Str stat.. and by touching my skills, I can view and learn how do I use my Ability!" Lucien exclaimed with realization and curiosity.
With a touch of his finger towards his Ability, the skill window appeared in front of him, with the description of his ability written in front of him, and how much MP it costs to activate it.
[Summon "Parasite" (Lvl 1): Upon using this ability, you can summon a Parasite that you can control. All parasites that have been summoned will have half of the Summoner's stats. The number of Parasites you can summon and control is based on your INT stat. MP cost: 10]
[Cull The Herd: The user is the one and only who can control the Parasites. No Matter what the path or chronology, it cannot be controlled and manipulated by others. Your abilities cannot be copied, mimicked, or replicated by others. This ability also works after death.]
As the Information about Lucien's abilities has shown in front of his face, His eyes widen at how Powerful his passive ability is.
"This is a strong passive skill.. even after I die, my abilities cannot be copied by everyone, no matter what path or chronology they may be!"
Lucien now proceeds to look at his Main Ability, he's reading his Main Ability carefully, analyzing what the appearance of a parasite will.
"There are many types of Parasites, this Main Ability sucks! There's nothing written here about what my Parasites will look like!"
Lucien exclaimed to himself in frustration.
To finally reveal the appearance of his Parasite, Lucien uses his Main Ability. To what he thought was a normal-looking Parasite turned out to be the Most Horrifying one Humanity will ever witness.
The Parasite that is summoned is the creature that Lucien encountered and attacked him. His face went pale just by staring at his "Parasite".
"What in the world..? This thing is a Parasite..? This thing should not even be classified as a parasite! It must be classified as a Demon!" Lucien exclaimed with a horrified tone, he can't look at his parasite even for a second.
If just the looks and appearance of his so-called "Parasite" terrified him, just what will Lucien's reaction be to what his Parasites can do and will ever do? That's what Lucien is thinking about at this moment.
Suddenly, the Giant Biography of his Parasite came to Lucien's mind. His head turned to look at the Biography, Thoughts flooded Lucien's mind.
[If I fully utilize this information, I will be able to discover the secrets of my Parasites, maybe even surpass what my Great-Grandfather's alchemy skills and Intellect! Most importantly, to avenge my clan against those who are involved in the Massacre.]
