Deciding about the second ability, I decided to test the limit of the system..

'An Immortal body, a body that can live for ever' I thought

[Passive name: Immortality | Rank: Mythic | Description: Death is the end of all, but to an immortal, it's just a concept. ]

Ohhh, that's pretty awesome. I don't even need an optimization I will gladly take this juicy passive.

'Generate all rank and lock in' I thought, knowing totally if this ability truly locked in, my goal is going to be achieved with no effort from me at all.

[Generating.... generated successfully!]

[Passive name: Immortality | Rank: Mythic, Mythic, Mythic, Mythic, Mythic, Mythic | Description: Death is the end of all, but to an immortal, it's just a concept. ]

[Ability successfully locked in!]

Abilities -> [Execute, Immortality, -, -, -]

It worked I think? I stared dumbfoundedly at the screen, truly not expecting the system to just give me this broken ability at level 1..

Wait.. The ability ranks are not in an ascending order? There should be a catch here.. I'm not going to waste time and test if it works in game or not..

'System, is the second locked in ability {Immortality} usable at level 1 or is there a requirement for its usability?' I thought

Waiting for few seconds expecting an answer.. But I got none. Well fuck you system then. I do smell a scam here.

No problem system even if you don't help, don't forget that it's an online game with an enormous player base, hehehe. A true advantage of joining a game lately is you don't have to actually test everything yourself..

Is there a way to search the web here or do I have to logout and search first?

'System, show menu'

[Character must be first created to unlock the Menu, please finish creating your character first.]

useless piece of shit.

'Logout'

[Character still not created. Two abilities are locked in, would you like to save the two abilities?]

'Yes'

[Logged out successfully]

I regained my consciousness, I was very eager to start, but I knew that one needed to be extra meticulous, especially at the character creating part, you don't want to throw hours or maybe days of progress for a mistake you did at the beginning.

"Krev" I said calmly, first let's research if you can have more than one character.

Even after all my life experience I'm not that arrogant to say I know it all, but if I set my goal to achieve something, I achieve it. I already have the rest of the abilities planned, but say supposedly they don't work, I need to know if I will have a way out or not.

"Research with Infinite imagination as the core if it's possible to have more than one character created or possibly resetting an already existing character."

It didn't take any time and answered back immediately.

"No, It's not possible to have more than one character."

Okay, now I need to re---

"Also it's not possible to reset an existing character, when a character is created it's locked in to the user forever and cannot be changed, even after replacing the headset, the user won't be able to create a new character"

I was amazed that such a rule existed, I can imagine there would be something like a brain frequency fingerprint for it to be able to tell that a person was a previous user. But really? An immutable character? What if the user reaches the end game then? or if the user wants to have other abilities? I think that was a stupid decision tbh, but oh well.. let's stick to what I logged out for.

"Krev, Research with Infinite Imagination as the core if it's possible to use a Mythic ability if the player is level 1"

"No it's not possible."

"To use a mythic ability one have to {ascend} twelve times."

Wait what?

"What does {ascend} mean here?"

"A player {ascends} once when he reaches the max level of 100 then complete an ascension task"

FUCK, like I said, it was a scam.

I think this means ascension is required to wield abilities. I pity the first player to figure out something like this. So the system creates five versions of the same ability with it evolving with the user after he ascends? It should be something like this then.

After taking a breath I willed it to dive.
