My Plunderer System

After selecting yes to upgrade the ability, a new screen appeared:

[Notice]

Congratulations the Beast Whisperer ability had evolved into the Beast Lord ability

[clear]

Seeing this pop up, Milo checked the description of the ability to see what changes had occurred. The largest change made it so he could read the thoughts of all beasts, it didn't have to be one of Milo's tames. This was a major change for two reasons, first it would allow him to read the thoughts and communicate with other tames beasts like Waki, making him able to be more versatile with his teammates. Along with this, he could read the thoughts of wild beasts, meaning he could learn who they were targeting and also what they planned to do next, allowing him to plan his strategies accordingly. The only downside was that the ability returned to level one, but it would most likely remain at the same strength as before the upgrade just with the added effects included.

Milo wanted to upgrade the rest of his abilities but showed restraint as he had two new abilities that he was hoping could be used as fuel for fusion. He asked Navi and she said yes, because of this he activated the skill and selected Fire and Earth as the two abilities to combine. After doing so he pressed confirm and the visual effects tied to the skill happened before the success screen appeared.

Reading the description of the skill Milo was pleased, it was similar to what extremely powerful fire and earth abilities could do. The main difference being that Milo could create the lava he could control, the other two abilities could just control magma that already existed. He now had two opposite attribute abilities he could wield.

He decided to upgrade his other max level abilities next. Hunter's eye evolved into an ability called Predator's Eyes. The main change was that it added two new effects when activated. The first was that it would allow Milo to see when a beast was close to death, Milo had gotten pretty good at reading this already but this would act as a confirmation now. The second part stated that when the ability was active, lower tier beasts may get stunned for a second if they made eye contact with Milo. Milo would have to test the ability out to see how the effects performed in action.

Milo was about to upgrade his main ability, the Ice ability, as well but Navi's voice popped up in his head stopping him before he confirmed the upgrade.

"My recommendation would be to wait for the cooldown on the fusion skill to finish before upgrading the Ice ability," she told him.

Hearing this Milo was tempted to still upgrade the ability as it was his most useful and strongest one but decided to wait and see why Navi advised him against it.

Three days later, Milo had somewhat returned to his normal routine of working out in the morning before training with the sword. It seemed like the world wanted to push past the attack by the Fellowship instead of allowing it to cause everything to go into a standstill. Alucard would join and watch his master workout every morning. Milo was waiting for the skill cooldown for Fusion to complete before trying out the newly upgraded abilities in a simulation as he wanted to try all of the changes at once. That was when a familiar ping was heard and a system screen appeared informing Milo of the cooldown for Fusion being completed.

Milo returned to his room in hurry, anxious to see exactly why Navi told Milo he should wait to upgrade the ability he used the most. He had left his TV on and a news report was talking about a gatecrasher who had gone through a second awakening while inside a gate resulting in him defeating the boss and saving his injured team members. These days, reawakenings were becoming more common. As the number of dimensional doors appearing increased, more and more people were awakening abilities and some gatecrashers had gotten a second awakening causing their original ability underwent an evolution, sort of like Milo's upgrade function or fusion skill, and they received a massive boost in Magic Power.

Milo's Ice ability wouldn't be considered one of these cases however, as Milo could just say that the Ice ability was just him honing the Frost ability to the max, as strong Frost users could also summon ice in a way similar to Milo, through freezing the water that was trapped in the air. The fusion skill giving him the Ice ability just streamlined the process in a way.

Because these reawakenings were occurring more and more often, Milo was less worried about someone discovering the system as he could just play it off as a reawakening and get reevaluated following the evolution of his ability. This would also explain why his Magic Power stat had jumped so much.

With this easing his worries, Milo activated the Fusion skill again and selected the Ice ability as the first ingredient. He then opened the options dropdown for which abilities were compatible and seeing which ability was able to be fused with Ice caused Milo to become puzzled. The ability that he could combine with Ice was the Magma ability, this made no sense to Milo as they were opposing attributes. Milo thought for a moment and decided to trust Navi's advice. He selected Magma as the second ability to fuse and clicked confirm.

The two balls of energy emerged from Milo's chest as usual, one blue and wispy and the other being red and burning like flames. They were wrapped in chains and combined before being yanked back into his chest. When this happened the screen Milo hoped would bring good news appeared.

Once again Milo clicked no, wanting to see the name and description of the newly formed ability first, so he instead opened his status screen.

The name and description of the skill seemed too good to be true. Most elemental users were able to control at most two elements if they reawakened, maybe more if they reawakened multiple times but there were no confirmed cases of this happening before. Milo was able to control all 6 elements; Frost, Wind, Earth, Fire, Water, and Lightning were all now at his fingertips, even though the lightning and wind abilities weren't in the original ingredients he had. The system most likely supplied them due to two elemental abilities that were already fused were used. Milo noticed that the ability level also reset to 1 which was strange since most of the time abilities averaged out based on the levels they were at previously. Milo inquired with Navi about this and her explanation made sense. The Disaster ability was one that couldn't evolve any further. In a sense it could be considered the peak of elemental abilities.

Milo was thankful to Navi for guiding him to this result, she most likely knew that if he upgraded the Ice ability that it would no longer be able to be used in Fusion. Essentially he traded the ultimate Ice elemental ability for the ability to control all elements. Along with this due to using Fusion twice he had gotten 10 free stat points. After some consideration, Milo invested 5 points into the agility stat and 5 into constitution, he felt that by balancing out his stats he'd become more well rounded.

After placing the stat points where he wanted Milo decided that he would have to come up with a plan to play off the creation of the Disaster ability as a reawakening to others so that he didn't reveal the existence of the system. His fight with the Fellowship may prove to be the excuse he needed. Only Krista would know the real reason behind the change in Milo's skillset.
