An odd looking fellow in a bland gray t-shirt, brown sweatpants, and bathroom slippers approached the group. His entire appearance indicated that he must have been unlucky enough to get teleported over before he ever had the chance to dress properly.
However, the strangest thing about him wasn't his clothes, nor was it his messy white hair or his scarily pale skin, but his piercing hazel eyes that seemed to see the truth of everyone he gazed at.
[Vibration Manipulation - Element Manipulation Type]
[Grade: SSS || Stage: F]
[Effect: The owner of this Ability has the power to control all sound and vibratory effects within his eyesight and sensory range. This also includes the various forms of matter that move or can be moved in the universe.
At the F-Stage, the owner can only barely control a fistful of vibrational matter in the universe.]
The room seemed to become quiet as everyone paused to gaze at Kyle Greer. He simply stared back at everyone with his eyes wide open. It took Damon a while to realize that Kyle was neither alarmed nor shocked, and that it was just the default state of his face.
"Don't worry, I won't kill anyone who doesn't want to kill me."
His soft and calm voice eventually stated, though it did nothing to dissuade the eery atmoshphere. All he needed to do was vibrate your organs, or even your brain, and it would turn to mush. Everyone present unanimously decided not to make an enemy out of Kyle.
Personally, Damon noted that many Abilities appeared to have severe killing effects, especially those from the manipulation series.
His own Probability Manipulation might not be able to do much now, but if it increased by 5% with every Stage, by the time he was at the EX-Stage, he would have 50% control! From that point on, he would have fifty-fifty odds to shape reality to his own whims!!!
Keeping his thoughts to himself, Damon continued sifting through the Abilities the others had revealed.
[Explosive Paradise - Object Manipulation Type]
[Grade: SS || Stage: F]
[Effect: The owner of this Ability has the power to place an explosive seal on anything they touch, detonating it at will.
At the F-Stage, the explosion is as strong as a hand grenade, and the owner can plant as many as 20 explosive seals at a time.]
"I like my Ability, it makes me feel as if I have bcome… shoot, what was the name again? Kisser Queem?" Andre Gregg chortled.
"Killer Queen. A stand from a famous anime. Yes, your power is similar, but not quite the same." Kyle pointed out strictly.
Andre Gregg took a step back, surprised that he would be corrected by the newcomer of all people. "Sorry, didn't know you were so particular about such things."
Kyle simply looked away. "Anime is a haven to me. Don't insult it."
A dark-skinned man with short dreads with his hands placed on his back, near his waist remained quiet aside from a light grin at the situation. Damon eyed him from the side, aware that this fellow was called Protizen Echo.
[Ultra Armor - Object Manipulation Type]
[Grade: SS || Stage: F]
[Effect: The owner of this Ability has the power to generate an exo-armor that fully merges with the topmost layer of their epidermis, forming a set of intuitive armor designed by the user's imagination. To make the armor stronger, the owner must imbibe different types of alloys and learn different types of technologies.]
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
First things first, what kind of name was that?
It seemed that young Xela had the same question as she skipped over and sized the fellow up and down.
"You don't look like a space alien from a technological race. Were your parents big into aliens?"
Protizen gazed at Xela calmly and smiled. "I highly doubt that. No, I was disowned by my parents due to some personal history, and since I didn't want to have anything to do with them after that, I changed my name legally."
Xela made an 'oh' sound. "Alright, but your choice of name is... quite unique. Doesn't everybody gaze at you funny when you introduce yourself?"
Protizen let out a sigh. "All the time."
Xela then smiled smugly. "Now that we've been introduced to the universe, aren't you afraid that you might a species that uses a style of naming similar to yours? What if they mistake you as one of their own and abduct you?"
Protizen froze. "Err… I didn't think that far ahead…"
After him was a strange fellow with smoothly oiled hair, a handsome face with a slight mustache and small stubble, as well as a fit body squeezed into gaudy and brightly colored casual wear.
[Crimson Art - Object Manipulation Type]
[Grade: SS || Stage: F]
[Effect: The owner of this Ability has the power to use the blood of enemies or themselves to draw magical runes or objects. Anything drawn will either have a magical effect in the case of runes or come to life in the case of objects.]
"Hahaha, as an artist and a creator, it is my purview to see that my creations affect the world both physically and metaphysically! Truly, my Ability is most fitting." João Victor de Oliveira laughed out loud with his arms outstretched.
Seeing another target, Xela happily skipped over and sized this one up as well.
"Hey mister, what's your name?" She asked cutely.
"Me? I am João Victor de Oliveira, but you may call me John Olive." The fellow introduced himself charismatically, gently brushing some of his loose hair on his forehead. Sparkles seemed to emerge from him, and many women could not help but give him a second look.
Young Xela was not impressed, though. "Hey mister, don't you think your name is too long and boring. The English version, meanwhile, is completely bland. Your character sucks!"
John Olive froze, and blood could be seen seeping from the edge of his lips. He then clutched his chest with a bitter expression.
"To think that I, the great João Victor de Oliveira, would one day be called boring and bland… I feel like closing my eyes to wake up from this nightmare."
Damon's eyes moved onto another fellow who had made it on his list. This one was called Bane McGregor, and he was a buff fellow resembling a mixture between a modern viking and a Celtic warrior. With his large, muscular frame and squarish jaw, he radiated perfect masculine energy.
Damon rubbed his chin with a smile, feeling like this fellow greatly resembled the popular gigachad meme.
[Alpha Shifter - Body Manipulation Type]
[Grade: SSS || Stage: F]
[Effect: The owner of this Ability has the power to transform into the complete form of another species at will. The owner is required to possess a DNA sample of the other species in order to transform into them.
At the F-Stage, only 3 forms can be stored at a time. Transformation time is limitless.]
"Gigachad x Ben 10, huh? You're like a tumblr fetish artist's dream person." Henry Jasek pointed out with a playful smile.
Bane looked at him squarely, with a raised eyebrow. "How do you know this?"
Suddenly, Henry's aura changed as his eyes became hollow and dark. "I have seen things on the internet… terrible things…"
Damon and the others couldn't help but get goosebumps at the fellow's reaction. They were thankful they were not the type to delve too deep into these things, but the playful Henry seemed like the type to frequent those places not out of interest, but out of habit.
Damon then paid attention to the last but one person he was looking out for. It was a plain looking fellow who was currently gazing at the nearby monitor which flashed with various coding languages and data, which his eyes seemed to reflect in an eerie way.
[Interface - Object Manipulation Type]
[Grade: SSS || Stage: F]
[Effect: The owner of this Ability has the power to connect with any form of digital technology, communicating with it directly and taking control over its functions as an administrator. Any object that is interfaced with once does not be to be interfaced with again. The time it takes to connect to any technology varies depending on its complexity versus the owner's Stage.]
Well, that explained why he was so focused on the data log. Damon felt that if this fellow could interface with the space ship, a lot of hope would become available for them to change their situation.
He remembered that this fellow was called Jose Rivera, and he seemed to be the soft-spoken type.
Finally, there was one other with an Ability that was below the EX-Grade, but whose Ability might trump all other SSS-Grade ones. It belonged to a caucasian in glasses who was wearing white and black with loafers.
[Words of Power - Reality Manipulation Type]
[Grade: SSS || Stage: F]
[Effect: The owner of this Ability has the power to speak things into existence. Anything the owner says has a chance to manifest as an absolute truth in reality. Being deaf or unable to hear does not act as a defense, as the owner speaks in the omnipotent language of the Universe.]
