"Ding, user has contracted level 0.7 disease disease activating immunity… immunity successful, disease being put into disease storage." Jace continues to pick up the wolf and take it to where he put the demon and heads back to the safe house. As Jace enters the safe house he pulls up his disease interface and inspects the disease.
???(Level 0.7 E)
Symptom 1:Causes mild bleeding from mouth, hands, feet.
Symptom 2:Makes the mana in your body start to mutate and break apart your bones slowly.
Spread: Transfers through blood contact or within 3 feet of infected blood with a 10% infection rate.
Jace, seeing this disease knows what he should do but before he can he hears another notification. "Ding please name unknown disease" Jace thinking says "Splitter Disease." Jace then seeing that its name was changed once again got out of the safe house.
Jace out of the safe house does a perimeter check around it before heading back inside. Jace sitting down prepares everything for him to use disease creation. First by checking where the Splitter Disease was located in storage and moving The Base out of incubation.
Jace finishes getting prepared and eats, once again, a can of beans. 'Man I really need to fish something else out of storage to eat'. Jace finishing his meal starts to make the disease core.
As this is the second time Jace does this he completes the core with no hiccups. Jace then enters the black room with the disease branches and first looks at both diseases' status in the world to plan.
Splitter Disease Level 0.7 E)
Symptom 1:Causes mild bleeding from mouth, hands, feet.
Symptom 2:Makes the mana in your body start to mutate and break apart your bones slowly.
Spread: Transfers through blood contact or within 3 feet of infected blood with a 10% infection rate.
The Base (Level 0.2 E)
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Symptom 1:Lowers immunity of infected by 1.5%.
Symptom 2:Increases spread of disease in body by 1%
Spread: Transfers through touch and air with a 25% infection rate. Increased to 50% infection rate within 24 hours of contraction.
Jace seeing the 2 diseases starts by pulling off The Bases symptoms 1 and 2 at max percent. After he attaches them to the new disease core he heads over to the Splitter Disease.
He pulls off its symptom 2 and as he attaches it he feels the disease core start to become a little unstable. So Jace sits there ready to knock off a branch but continues to wait.
After a few more moments Jace feels the core become stable and normal prompting him to decide what the best choice for infection is. 'I could use The Base's spread or I could use the Splitter Diseases and see if I could get the 50% increased infection rate. If I use the Splitter Diseases spread I would need to add its second symptom though. How the core was already unstable I don't know if I want to try it'.
Jace decides to use The Base's spread and attaches it to the core and thinks about himself wanting to leave. Once again he hears the notification "Ding, chose a name for a newly created disease." Jace decides on "Splitter V2."
'Not the best name, but gets the point across'. Jace feels his vision fade and wakes up back in the safe house. As he wakes up he feels the fatigue from mana loss. He then begins to collect his mana while training his karambit movement while grappling with Way of the Raptor without applying mana.
Before that however he remembers to put The Base and Splitter V2 in incubation. As well as check the status page of Splitter V2.
Splitter V2 (Level 0.9 E)
Symptom 1:Lowers immunity of infected by 1.5%.
Symptom 2:Increases spread of disease in body by 1%
Symptom 3:Makes the mana in your body start to mutate and break apart your bones slowly.
Spread: Transfers through touch and air with a 25% infection rate. Increased to 50% infection rate within 24 hours of contraction.
After Jace sees this he is ecstatic. 'All I need is to increase its level by 0.1 and I will have completed one of the egg's hatching requirements'. As Jace is practicing his techniques he starts to have some more theories to test.
'I wonder if I can put 2 diseases on Disease Blade at the same time.Now is't the time because if it works I don't know how much mana it will take. If it does however work, I would need to manage my disease storage more strictly. Also, I need to test if I can put Disease Blade on my throwing knives.'
As Jace thinks of this, he immediately tests the theory by grabbing the throwing knives and using Disease Blade. Jace is successful in applying the Disease Blade and throws the knife. As he throws it he feels the Disease Blade fail and stop working.
Jace then goes and picks up the knife and repeats the process. This time however he uses Way of the 1,000 Blades and as he throws the knife the Disease Blade stays applied the whole journey. Jace is ecstatic but once again feels the mana fatigue and continues with his manaless training. 'That worked amazing but I should have waited till I had more mana'.
Jace thinking about the diseases starts to think 'I also want to test if I can combine the Splitter Disease and Splitter V2 to make Splitters V2's Symptom 3 of mana mutation and bone breaking stronger.
If that works I wonder if I could also combine Splitter V2 with The Base to make its other symptoms stronger'. Jace, filled with these new ideas and things to test, spends the rest of his day training and collecting mana.
