[Congratulations Host, you have survived the forceful modification of the System, you can now access the Heavenly Thief System.]

As Romulus heard these words, he wanted to spit out a river of blood, he was in eternal agony and now only did the pain stop. 

"System, how do you want to compensate for the pain I went through?" 

[Host will naturally be given a reward, considering the experience you went through, and also because Host is at his weakest period, even a kid can kill you.]

"What? What do you mean I am at my weakest period? I am a godly thief why can a kid even kill me right now?"

[It is because Host naturally went through a modification of his body and to change Host's body, System had to use Host's body to be able to forcefully change Host's body. Congratulations by the way Host, you survived the unthinkable your chance of survival was less than 1% and you did it.]

As Romulus heard how close he was to death he wanted to curse the System's generation of ancestors, if it did have any anyways. As he regulated his mood and emotion by calmly breathing, he thought of the important matter at hand. The System's reward for him. If the rewards were bad, he might really die from anger. 

"Ok System, what are the rewards you were talking about?"

[1. Ghost Grasping Fingers. Spectral fingers that even Demons won't be able to see will appear and you can command these fingers to attach to someone. The fingers will randomly steal an item from the target's body, if the target has no item on their body the fingers will steal something from the body, including a heart, liver, kidney, etc. The chances to fail to steal depends on the Host's strength to the target.]

"Holy shit! What is this skill. This is literally a cheat!"

[2. Zero Intentions. The Host will give off no aura, no scent, and not even any life energy. Just like the name of the skill the Host will give off zero intentions which will be able to make the Host look like an inanimate object and if trained further the Host will be able to instantly disappear Infront a target's view making them unable to track Host. This skill will naturally not work on targets that are way of a higher life form than the Host.]

As Romulus heard the introduction of Zero Intention he was intrigued, if he could disappear Infront of a person couldn't he keep combining this with Ghost Grasping Fingers and continually steal while hiding. This is a tactic that Romulus love, the hit and run strategy, some might call him cowardly, but he couldn't care enough about his reputation considering it was already at the lowest anyway. 

[3. Faking Strength. The Host will be able to fake his strength. He will be able to project a strength that he doesn't have and the strength he can project depends on Host's current strength. This skill works on anything, not even higher lifeforms will be able to detect something off from this.]

[Now Host please make a selection from 1,2, and 3.]

"Wait you're saying I can't take all of these? What happened to the suffering I went through."

[These skills are top of the line, and Host will only be able to choose one.]

As Romulus heard this he frowned, he was incredibly weak right now and he needed to choose carefully of which skill he wanted. If he chose the wrong one, it might lead to his demise right now. Ghost Grasping Fingers will naturally be powerful, but he was weak right now and he doubted he could even steal something considering the chances of stealing depends on the strength of the target and his strength. Even if he could miraculously steal something, he might just die from the target's wrath, so he crossed that one out.

Zero Intentions would be perfect for what he needed right now, he would be able to disguise himself as a dead object, and people will naturally avoid him, but he could be unlucky and be hit by a stray projectile and that would be the end for him. Fake Strength would be even better because he would be able to project a higher power, he didn't have but if the person didn't care and still fought him, he would literally just die. 

"These are difficult choices System; can you just give me all 3 of them?"

[No. If you continue to ask for more Host will have to be punished.]

"Ok fine, I choose Zero Intentions."

[Congratulations Host, you've learned Zero Intentions. Work hard and you will be able to learn other skills from the Heavenly Thief System.]

As Romulus heard the last sentence from the System he smiled, this System was incredibly strong, and if he could learn more powerful skills, he wouldn't have to act like a rat again. He would be able to dominate everyone, and everyone would bow at his powerful strength. As he fantasized this, he was hit was a splitting headache.

"System what is this?"

[Obviously this is the price of learning a skill.]

"I seriously hate you System."
