My SSS-Rank Innate skill: Infinite Adaptation core

Asia cleared her throat and said, ”Let’s go. I’ll show you guys around the mansion.”

Nova shook his head. ”You two go ahead. I still have a few things to do.” With those words, his figure blurred and he vanished from the hall.

After stepping outside the estate, Nova found a secluded spot where no one could see him. He focused on his forehead and vanished from his original location, reappearing inside his system’s training space.

This time, the system training space’s scenery was a classic classroom. Liya stood before him dressed as an incredibly seductive teacher. She wore a tight white shirt with the upper buttons undone, her large breasts straining against the fabric, threatening to spill out.

A short pencil skirt hugged her voluptuous, curvy figure, accentuating her wide hips. Black tights clung to her thick thighs and long legs, completing the look. To top it off, she wore stylish glasses and held a thin pointer stick in her hand.

A playful smirk curved her beautiful lips as she gently bit down on her rosy, juicy lower lip, clearly trying to tempt him. Nova gulped, his mouth filling with saliva as he stared hungrily at his sexy System in full teacher cosplay.

{What do you think?}

Liya asked with a playful smile, striking a sexy pose to draw his attention — one hand on her hip, chest slightly pushed forward.

Nova shook his head and sighed heavily.

”Why do I feel like the system training space has turned into a porn set? Every time I come here, you’re wearing a different outfit in a different scenery. Do you really want to test my patience that badly?”

{Hhehe~ You say that, but I know you like it, don’t you?}

”Don’t avoid my question,” Nova said, his face turning serious.

Hearing his tone, Liya turned away with a pout.

{You’ve been giving all your attention to Rieka and Asia lately, like I don’t even matter anymore. You barely talk to me now, let alone visit... And when you finally do come here, you scold me!} Her voice cracked.

{I prepared all of this for you because I know what you like... I even help you so much, and you treat me like this... uuuuummuu...}

Liya sat down, hugging her knees and started crying. Nova was caught off guard. He never wanted to scold her and expected her to cry . She had changed his entire world, and he couldn’t even begin to express how important she was to him. Seeing her like this made his heart clench painfully.

He stepped forward with a worried expression. ”Hey, hey... don’t cry. I wasn’t scolding you...”

Just as Nova stepped in front of her, wondering how to comfort her, Liya suddenly stood up and burst into loud laughter.

{Hahahaha! Look at your face!}

{You looked like you just committed murder! Oh god, hahaha~}

Nova’s face burned bright red with embarrassment as he realized he had fallen for her simple trick. She wasn’t crying at all she had just been messing with him. And what the fuck was he even thinking? How could a System even cry?

”Why did you do that?” Nova asked, annoyed. He sat down on the floor and narrowed his eyes at her.

{I was just playing with you. Consider it payback for teasing poor Asia earlier. Now you know you’re not the only one who can fool someone~}

Nova shook his head, unsure whether to laugh or cry at his System’s methods. She could be incredibly helpful one moment and incredibly annoying the next. Since he still had things to do, he sighed and said,

”Enough of that. I came here because I want to spin the gacha wheel again and check for new skills and treasures. So quit fooling around and come sit beside me. I’m not letting you sit on my lap today — I’m angry at you.”

Liya rolled her eyes dramatically.

{Yea, yea... have it your way.}

A glowing system panel appeared in front of Nova. His eyes widened as he noticed the sharp increase in his Evolution Points since the last time.

[Evolution Points: 834,960]

[Gacha Keys: 00]

[Fate Points: 500]

”So I have 834,960 Evolution Points... That’s so fucking awesome,” Nova muttered excitedly. Then he paused. ”Wait... tell me again, what’s the conversion rate of Fate Points to Evolution Points?”

{Gosh... how can you forget so soon? One Fate Point equals 1,000 Evolution Points.}

”Hmm... okay. Convert all the Fate Points into Evolution Points,” Nova ordered.

Ding!

[Fate Points successfully converted into Evolution Points.]

[Total Evolution Points: 1,334,960]

[Fate Points: 00]

”Damn! Look at those fucking numbers!” Nova laughed joyfully, a wide grin spreading across his face. ”I’ve got over a million Evolution Points, hahaha!”

It was only natural. After everything he had gone through lately, these kinds of gains felt well-earned.

If my calculations are correct, I should be able to buy around 133 Gacha Keys this time. One key costs 10,000 Evolution Points, leaving me with 4,960 points afterward.

”Hmm... okay. Buy 133 Gacha Keys,” Nova ordered.

Ding!

[Congratulations!]

[You have successfully purchased 133 Gacha Keys.]

[Remaining Evolution Points: 4,960]

”Let’s start the game then,” Nova said with a grin. ”I hope I get good skills and treasures this time as well. Although I don’t believe in God... whoever the beautiful goddess watching over me is, please bless me.”

Liya rolled her eyes the moment she heard his muttered prayer.

The golden wheel interface lit up on the system panel. Nova rubbed his hands together like a seasoned gambler, excitement buzzing through him. Liya watched with an amused, beautiful smile on her lips.

”Let’s start. I’ll go with 10 Gacha Keys first,” he said.

He spun the wheel. It began rotating with brilliant golden light, slowing down after a few tense moments.

[Better luck next time!]

[Better luck next time!]

[Better luck next time!]

[Better luck next time!]

[Better luck next time!]

[Better luck next time!]

....

”What the fuck!!” Nova stared back and forth in disbelief. He had just wasted 10 Gacha Keys and got absolutely fucking nothing.

Liya sighed.

{Sheesh... not this again. I already told you — luck won’t be on your side every time. Spinning just 10 keys isn’t good. You should go with at least 20 or 30 at once.}

Nova took a deep breath, calming down after Liya’s words. He still had over a hundred keys left. He touched the panel again and declared,

”I’ll go with 30 Gacha Keys this time.”

The golden wheel spun rapidly.

[Better luck next time!]

[Better luck next time!]

[Better luck next time!]

[Congratulations!]

[You have acquired 1 Luck Point]

”Hell yeah! Finally a skill — and it sounds badass!” Nova’s eyes lit up with excitement. ”Let’s see how great this one really is.”

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Blood Manipulation]

[Rank: A]

[Grants the user complete control over blood, allowing them to manipulate their own blood or that of others. Blood can be shaped into weapons, armor, or devastating attacks. The skill’s power depends on the user’s comprehension and strength—the greater their mastery and power, the deadlier and more versatile their blood manipulation becomes.]

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

”Damn! Isn’t this shit really awesome?” Nova’s voice was filled with excitement. ”I can manipulate blood like it’s an extension of my own body — turning it into weapons, shields, or any kind of object I want. And the best part is I can control not just my own blood, but other people’s too. Now that’s badass!”

Liya smiled.

{Yeah. Considering you recently gained the Blood Affinity, this skill will be extremely effective for you. Your comprehension and mastery will be heightened thanks to your natural affinity toward blood.}

”Now that you mention it... isn’t this wheel supposed to give completely random things? I feel like it keeps giving me stuff that’s really useful and directly related to me. It almost feels like it’s doing it on purpose.”

{Well, of course it’s random... but if your luck is good, you’ll pull things that are useful to you. I never said it would be totally random. You’ve also gotten a few things you didn’t need before.}

”Hmm... yeah, you’re right. Now let’s continue.”
