Ewan’s eyes focused on the ability displayed in his status. It wasn’t his original Alchemy ability at all. Instead, it was something called Love and Lust Manipulation. What was more shocking was the rank—SSS.

The original owner of this body, Ewan of this world, had never heard of such a rank before. But Ewan, drawing from his past life’s memories, recognized that SSS rank was the highest possible rank in most isekai power systems. In the stories he read, it was the peak of any ability’s potential, something reserved for the strongest of characters.

However, he couldn’t let his fictional knowledge cloud his judgment. This was real life, not a novel. The rules could be entirely different here, and he had to learn how things truly worked in this world.

But this ability raise a different question in his mind which was. How did he get this ability, the reason for this was because the concept of getting ability in this world. According to the memories of the original owner of this body, the concept of abilities in this world was tied to bloodlines.

Ewan’s biological father had an Alchemy ability, and his biological mother possessed a Plantation ability, both with F ranks. Originally, he had awakened an Alchemy ability with an F rank—an ability that aligned with his father’s Alchemy ability.

But now, that Alchemy ability had completely disappeared, replaced by this unfamiliar Love and Lust Manipulation, something completely unrelated to anyone in his biological family.

Ewan decided to put his thoughts about his strange new ability aside for the moment. He needed to understand the full scope of his situation. Ewan took a closer look at the status again, noticing the detailed explanations behind the various stats.

HP (Health Points) was full at 100%, which was good. It meant his body was in top physical condition, free of injuries or illness. The same went for PS (Physical Stamina), which was also full, indicating he had enough energy for physical exertion.

MP (Mana Points) was at 99%, with only 1% used. Ewan realized this was because he was currently awake and using his brain to think and process all the overwhelming information. His excitement, confusion, and the barrage of new emotions from the transmigration, the system, and everything else were draining his mana at a much higher rate than usual. But this wasn’t something to worry about—it was just temporary, a result of his mental overload.

Then there was MS (Mental Stamina), which was showing 95%. It had already consumed 5% because of all the worry and confusion swirling in his mind. He was stressed about being a slave, about the sudden transmigration, and his unfamiliar new ability. All these things were draining his mental stamina, making him feel fatigued even though he hadn’t physically exerted himself.

' Looks like I’m burning through my mental stamina pretty quickly.'

he thought.

' I need to calm down and get a handle on all this.'

The realization helped him focus, and he took a deep breath, trying to steady his thoughts.

Ewan's eyes narrowed as he read the section about his current rank. This was different from his Ability Rank. His Ability Rank indicated the full potential he could reach, while his current rank reflected his present status in terms of stats.

His current rank was F rank, which was no surprise, given that he had only just awakened his ability and hadn’t undergone any proper training.

This distinction between Ability Rank and current rank was crucial. In this world, Ability Rank defined the limits of one's potential, but current rank was a reflection of where a person stood right now.

Ewan looked at his stats again, closely examining each one. His Strength and Agility were still within the range of a normal person, which didn’t surprise him. But Endurance had already surpassed the limit of an average person. It was above average, indicating that his body had been through something rigorous training which is true as he had trained for many years by slavers.

His Intelligence was interesting—it had already reached the peak of F rank, which meant he was at the highest possible level within his current rank for Intelligence stat. His Willpower was almost at the same level—just 1 point away from hitting the peak of F rank. The reason for his Intelligence and Willpower stat being so high is because of the merging of the souls of both Ewans.

But despite these relatively high stats, he was still stuck at F rank. The reason was simple: to rank up to E rank, he needed three stats to reach 10 points. That meant he would need to significantly improve at least two more stats, most likely through training or experiences—something his past self believed to be true.

However, as he stared at his stats, his eyes drifted down to the Ying points.
