Jace becomes very surprised when he sees the values next to the names. After thinking on it for a moment he realizes they are the amount of disease in his body.
He then looks into himself again seeing one particle in his chest. He sees a small concentration of disease particles in his nose region.
He then sees a much bigger concentration on his eyes. After he exits from looking into himself he opens the incubation tab. Jace is then very unsurprised by what he sees.
Incubation
-Enter Disease(10/per hour)
-Enter Disease(10/per hour)
Jace proceeds to tap on one of the enter disease buttons. Jace then puts The Base into the incubation. Jace also enters the common cold into incubation then looks into himself. Jace now sees that there are only disease particles concentrated in his eyes and nowhere else.
Jace getting off of his bed adds going to the hospital to see if he can find more diseases to his plan before going to continue his daily routine. He continued with his daily routine for around a month, leveling up again to which he gained 1 point in every attribute except intelligence which he gained 2 to which his mana and health both went up by 20 points.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Towards the end of the month when he was killing his last fish to level up again Jace felt something happen. As he was swinging down his karambit on the fish it felt like he became one with the blade.
When he connected with the fish an explosion of notifications sounded. "Ding, you have leveled up" "Ding, Companion has gained 400xp" "Ding, skill Karambit Mastery has been earned." Jace sat there in disbelief then quickly opened his status.

Jace opens the Karambit Mastery under the skills icon. Jace rubs his eyes at what he sees.
Skill:Karambit Mastery(level 1) ↓
-10% increase in damage done with karambits
-10% increase in cutting power with karambits
After Jace finishes reading it, 'is this for real, this seems so basic and busted at the same time'. 'Because it is increased by percentages and not just by a fixed value, if I become stronger with my karambits so does this skill'.
'Also, it is only at level one so as I get better the skill would get better'. As Jace is thinking this he hears a notification that makes him jump. "Ding, The God of Abnormalities has sent you 2 gifts and a message" "Would you like to open the message."
Jace goes "Yes." Jace then hears the voice he knows well "Congratulations on obtaining your first skill.I have sent you gifts to help you with your growth. Something I forgot to mention is that you can lose this power I gave you if you stop growing and meeting my ideals. So keep growing! This will be the last time I will talk to you so stay safe."
Jace is left standing there dumbfounded and in shock before looking at his hands. 'This power can be taken away but, I will not let that happen!' "Ding, would you like to open the gifts." "Yes" Jace says seriously and with a straight face but what he sees changes his face to one of awe.
In front of him was a screen with 2 book covers in it one titled "Way of the Raptor" the other was titled "Way of the 1,000 Blades". Jace taps on the Way of the Raptor and sees on the first page a picture of a beast. The beast had a massive claw exactly like Jace's karambit.
Jace moves on to the next page which shows 2 diagrams . The first diagram has a picture of a blade similar to Jace's karambit and it shows a way to use mana and how to layer it on the knife to use the technique. The second diagram is the first move which is just 2 downward slashes with the point of the knife facing down. The model shows the knives going into a man's shoulders.
When Jace tries to go to the next page it would not let him and a message appears on the screen that states insufficient skill level. Jace then goes back and opens the Way of the 1,000 Blades. This time on the front cover he sees a picture of a throwing knife.
On the next page there is 3 models this time. The first model shows once again how to apply mana to the throwing knife. The second model shows how to make a mana tether to your throwing knife. The third shows how you control the tether to make the throwing knife return to you.
Jace stands there for a minute taking in what he had just gotten then immediately starts training. 'I need to grow, get stronger. and keep this power, if not I won't just lose my way to survive but everyone I care about will probably die with me'.
