Universal Power System

"I have a package for um... Mako Grey?" a delivery person asked as he was currently standing on the doorstep of Mako's home.

"Yes, That's me!" Mako replied as he proceeded to sign a few documents before the delivery man gave Mako his package, and turned to leave on the vehicle he arrived on.

Mako felt like it was Christmas day, and he had been given a huge gift full of wonderful goodies that he would have all to himself. This, however; was all in Mako's imagination as Mako never actually experienced Christmas or any other traditional holiday for that matter. He only assumed the feeling and reaction of children receiving gifts and compared it to him opening his box that just arrived from TIM's Laboratory.

Opening the box, Mako was left in shock and awe as he had only heard about these things from the mouth of others this was his first time actually witnessing, holding, and experiencing what feels like to be in presence of such powerful items.

Before he got carried on, Mako first and foremost took everything out of the box and laid them out on his table neatly. After that, he proceeded to use his Analyze skill in order to get a good description of what he had actually purchased as the website only gave a brief description as it was meant for rich people to buy from that site.

[Analyze]

[5x High Tier Healing Pills] ⓘ

[High Tier Healing pills are made from several different materials not currently in the user's knowledge. A single pill when consumed saps 10 energy from the user while restoring 5 health per minute for the next 60 minutes, and can restore and heal internal injuries while also enough to completely heal the user from two fatal wounds such as bones shattering, massive cuts, serious damage to organs, etc.]

[+300 Health]

This was brand new information for Mako as if he could increase his knowledge about different materials and substances in the galaxy, he could relatively find the composition of any substance he came in contact with.

Secondly, another new piece of information was the amount of recovery a High Tier pill provided for fatal wounds as it didn't heal a person in the way that Mako thought that eating a Healing pill will save you from death. During a serious fight between two powerhouses, it won't be uncommon for each of them to suffer multiple fatal wounds, so much higher-grade healing pills would be required.

[5x High Tier Rejuvenating Pills] ⓘ

[High Tier Rejuvenating pills are made from several different materials not currently in the user's knowledge. A single pill when consumed boosts the energy regeneration speed of the user by 300% for the next 30 minutes.]

[+300% Regeneration speed]

Energy regeneration was important as this was the cost to cast skills and he learned that during his fight with Bill if his energy pool would have been slightly lower; he would have lost the battle due to completely depleting his energy so energy regeneration would benefit him a lot.

"Come to think of it, what is my current energy regeneration speed?" Mako asked the system.

[The user's current rate of energy regeneration is 0.75 energy recovered per minute while not in combat.]

This was also another shocking discovery as this meant that currently, Mako could completely regenerate his energy in a bit over three and a half hours, while if he consumed the pill that time could be close to a bit over an hour which would be a game changer for Mako if he would have to face multiple opponents on the same day.

[5x High Tier Boost Pills] ⓘ

[High Tier Boost pills are made from several different materials not currently in the user's knowledge. A single pill when consumed boosts all the attributes of the user by 5 points for the next thirty minutes.]

[*SYSTEM OVERRIDE*]

[The user can now choose to only temporarily boost a single attribute of his choosing, but that attribute will have a boost of 15 points instead of 5]

[+5 Temporary All Stats OR +15 Temporary Single Attribute]

"Well, that is new! I wonder if the system can change things about the other pills as well?" Mako questioned, but this time the system remained silent which Mako took as an obvious 'NO', and carried on to the more expensive and important items.

[High Tier Blue Horn Mammoth's Combat Knife] ⓘ

[A 9-inch long blade forged from the crystal and flesh of Blue Horn Mammoth found in (Unknown). A decent quality blade forged by (Unknown)]

[Strength +20]

[Agility +5]

[Attack: 55]

[Passive skill: Frostbite] ⓘ

[Frostbite: When an opponent is stabbed with this knife, Ice starts to form around the wound; chilling it to very low temperatures causing the opponent to be slowed down and their strength cut in half.]

[The duration for the passive skill is 30 minutes once it activates, and goes on a cooldown timer of 60 minutes.]

A lot of information rushed into Mako's head as it would seem that it was guaranteed that every time he would use analyze the items he bought, he would be blown away by the description and this time was no exception.

Mako already knew that if a forger was experienced enough, he or she could forge the item to have active or passive skills which oftentimes would be the thing that turned the tables during a fight, but what Mako didn't know was the fact that blade itself was crafted from organic things and not some special ore as he previously thought.

It was massive a debate between people who couldn't attain power as to how the power items were crafted, but Mako had just found out the truth even though he was still confused as he couldn't imagine how they made a metallic blade from the flesh.

The blade itself was very beautiful as the pictures on the website didn't do it justice. It had a few layers of brown fur wrapped around the handle which was ultra soft and comfortable to hold, and the blade had a gradient of colors from grey to a very dark and beautiful midnight blue.

The shocker was when holding the blade Mako felt a huge rush of energy to his arms and legs similar to when he had added attribute points to his Strength Attribute. Mako had no idea that power items had this kind of effect as just by holding the blade, his strength was immediately doubled.

The knife also came with a cover and a leg strap where Mako would keep the blade in the meantime, but the most interesting thing was the fact that even though the blade was resting on his thigh, as long as his body made contact with the blade he would receive the boost that it provided,

Now the only items left were the Ability Book, the three random Skill Books of that ability, and the one complementary Skill Book he received due to his large order. He decided to check out the complementary Skill book first and save the best for last.

Skill Book: [(E-Tier) Ten Palm Strike] ⓘ (LEVEL 1)

[A fighting skill book that teaches the user a Basic Skill that instructs how to perform consecutive ten-palm strikes on an opponent in order to deal massive damage.]

[Attack: 35]

[Requirements: 35 Strength, 10 Agility, 10 Stamina]

[Cost: 80 Energy]

[Does the User want to instantly learn?]

[YES/NO]

"Huh? What is this about? What do you mean by instantly learning it?" Mako asked the system but there was no reply.

"Well, I guess I could give it a shot since I was going to learn it anyways." Mako said as he sent his thoughts forward to choose the 'YES' option.

As soon as Mako had done so, the entire book began to glow with a bright white light, and an instant later it started to disintegrate into particles of light before completely vanishing moments later.

Before Mako could even voice his concern as he might have just lost a very valuable book, a familiar notification sound was heard.

*Ding!*

Mako quickly checked what the notification was about, which transferred the system screen to the skills tab, and in the Basic Skills tab, there was a brand-new skill that mako could now use.

(NEW) [(E-Tier) Ten-Palm Strike] ⓘ (LEVEL 1)

Mako's mouth was left wide open as he couldn't utter a single word. His eyes were ready to pop out of his sockets and his mouth opened so wide that elephants would be able to fit in them... well at least hypothetically.

A bit of context for such a reaction is that the reason why a lot of people are powerless or have very little power is not because of having no money, but rather no talent. Not everyone is talented enough to learn a new ability or skill in a month as it takes most professionals, but still, it took them almost a month to perfect the basics of a new skill or master the control of an ability, and here Mako had just learned his first E-Tier skill instantly.

Words could not describe the plethora of emotions and though that were running down Mako's mind as he could now do things that even the people at the Master Level would envy.

After calming down from yet another shocking revelation, it was time for Mako to look at what would be his first Ability Book, and also the three Skill Books that it came in addition with. Now that Mako had learned of the shortcuts that the system had provided for him, he no longer had dread over the thought of trying to learn all of those skills before he went to military school.

With that Mako picked up the thing that he thought he would never be able to obtain in his lifetime.

But before he could use the Analyze skill on the Ability Book, Mako heard a few notifications pop.

*DING!* *DING!* *DING*
