Chapter 2 2 Abilities
Zach moved his hand and tried to swat it away but his hands passed through it as if it was some kind of hologram. He had half expected it but that didn't make it acceptable. It felt like a notification of sorts which bothered him.
"How the hell do I get this thing out of my face?" Zach waved his hand in irritation but couldn't get rid of it.
As he began thinking about the notification itself, something flashed right in his face and managed to scare him out of his wits.
Zach flinched in surprise as he fell back on his ass. The screen however remained in front of his face as before as if forcing him to look at it.
[Congratulations, you have been granted the Nebula System.]
"Nebula System? What is that?" Zach wondered if it was the same Nebula that he was familiar with.
"Did they put some kind of optical lens in my eyes? Otherwise there is no way a hologram like that can be real." Zach felt used his finger to touch his eyes gently in order to find out if something had been implanted there.
To his astonishment there was nothing on his face or on his eyes that could explain the current situation. There was no pain in his eyes that might have suggested a surgical implant either.
There was no option other than to believe that what he was seeing was real.
Zach had no option but to figure out what the message meant so he looked at the screen earnestly in order to figure out the secret behind it.
Several notification sounds emerged as soon as he touched the screen and various messages clouded his vision one after the other like those error messages that didn't stop sounding in his infected computer and covered up the whole screen.
[Your body is being adjusted for the new world. You might experience slight headache as your body is reverted back to its peak.]
"Well, that explains the headache. Wait….WHAT?" Zach had an expression of horror on his face. He had read something about a new world just now.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and read that message once again as if to make sure if what he had read the first time was truly there and not some kind of hallucination. He seemed to have seen something about another world.
[Your body has been adjusted to the most optimal state.]
[Your state has been updated from Delirious to Shocked.]
Zach was dumbfounded, unable to utter a single word. If what he was seeing was all true then he had grossly underestimated the scale of what might have happened to him.
Zach tried to remain calm as he took a long breath and exhaled slowly.
In all seriousness he willed for the messages bombarding the screen to disappear and to his surprise he really was able to do so.
As soon as the messages vanished, he found that there was an icon at the left corner of his vision that stayed afloat no matter where he looked. Below the image was his name in bold. It was the same interface that he had been used to. He had seen this screen one too many times when he used to play Nebula.
Only back then, the image used to be of his avatar instead of his own.
Below his name there was a blinking word 'Status' that made him feel curious.
He willed for the status to be displayed and the screen followed his command like earlier. Zach felt that he was beginning to understand this whole gimmick slowly.
[Name: Zach]
[Species: Human]
[Age: 15 years]
[Affiliation: None]
[Abilities]
[Nebula Star: You can use all the weapons from the previous game 'Nebula'. To elevate the degree of access, meet the required conditions.]
[Raging Blood: Your blood hides an ancient power. It has the ability to let any woman that consumes it burst out with enormous power for a short duration. This ability is applicable to all the women of this world. Currently your blood is in a dormant state that has lowered the overall effect but if necessary conditions are met the outcome will be even more pronounced.]
[Casanova: You can charm anyone from the opposite gender relatively easily. Your seed is a powerful elixir for any woman in this world. Look for trustworthy native women to increase your influence and spread your seed.]
[Skills]
[Weapon Arsenal (Sealed): You can use a wide range of weapons that existed in the world of Nebula proficiently. More conditions need to be satisfied to unlock additional weapons.]
[First Seal: Unlocked]

[Currently Available Weapons]
[B-97 Infra red Vision Binoculars]

Zach looked at his status window and carefully read all the details and was able to glean a lot of information.
As his species had been mentioned to be human, it could only mean that there were other kinds of sentient species in this world and humans were only a part of the whole population.
His age had been reset to 15 years which matched with the uncomfortable feeling he had after waking up. Of course his hands hadn't developed those calluses while he was only 15 years old.
He skipped over the Affiliation part since it was still blank. He wondered if there were some factions in this world that he could join. But that was a thing that he would have to worry about later.
He took a look at his abilities and his jaw dropped to the ground in surprise. But soon a creepy smile crept up on his face that was full of excitement.
'Nebula Star', this ability allowed him to access all the weapons from the world of Nebula in this world. Zach could only imagine how great of a boon that was since he knew what a terrifying power those weapons could give him.
Taking a look at his weapon arsenal, he surmised that he had access to the weapons that were standard issue for junior soldiers in the game. Other than weapons he had a small dagger and some defensive gear like camouflage and Kevlar for personal protection.
Other than Nebula Star, there were two additional abilities that he had.
When he first read the ability name 'Raging Blood', he had thought that it must be some kind of Berserker skill but when he read the skill description he was slightly disappointed since it wasn't an active skill but a support ability that was only useful if the one consuming his blood was a woman. Still, it could be of use in the future.
The next ability took him by surprise from the get go. 'Casanova', was another support ability that needed him to literally spread his semen to women to upgrade their abilities. This was so useless that Zach found himself cursing out loud.
"Is this bloody system trying to set me up? What kind of flowery hell is this? Is it mocking me by giving this shitty ability to the always-single professional gamer like me?"
What truly sent him into despair wasn't the useless Raging Blood or the even more useless Casanova but the last skill in his status window.
[Energy Absorption: You are able to absorb the special energy found only in the bodies of women in this world. You are going to need a lot of it if you intend to unlock your sealed potential.]
From the look of it, women were absolutely crucial to his survival and in order to grow stronger. The skill description clearly stated that he needed a lot of energy in the bodies of women of this world in order to unlock his sealed potential. In other words his potential was his sealed abilities and his weapons. The current gear wasn't enough for whatever the system had in store for him.
Ever since he had come to this world, his nerves had been taut as he was on guard against anything that could have harmed him. Zach closed the status window and finally found himself a moment of respite.
