Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

As the transformation unfolded, he felt his muscles melting away and his bones undergoing intense reconstruction, as if he were being ground down in real time.

With each passing moment, his insides were vanishing in real time, every fiber of his being unraveling and dissolving into nothingness.

"FUCK!!!!!!!!!!" The agony became unbearable, prompting him to scream in anguish, his bones contorting under the intense pressure of the transformation.

[System discovered that the Skull-Fiend body has numerous limitations for the Ultimate Mutation System.]

[Enhancing race compatibility with the Ultimate Mutation System.]

[Enhancement Complete]

Suddenly, another sensation overtook him as his insides began to reform, along with his muscles.

However, it felt different from the real thing. When he looked down, he noticed that these new organs were made of some kind of blue energy, mimicking real organs.

Once his insides were finished, the skin began to form too.

[DING]

[Transformation Complete]

[All Skill Points Reset]

Gasping for breath, Reign hurried to the mirror to inspect the outcome of his evolution.

The blue energy skin had transitioned into a more normal looking pale appearance, but his face retained its skull-like visage.

However, unlike ordinary bones, it resembled a skull mask, devoid of any hollow spaces except for the eye sockets, which flickered with blue flames.

============

'Amazing,' he muttered, 'so I can still use my previous skills! But how does it work?'

Reign began to test his abilities.

First was the Bite skill, which caused his mouth to expand like before.

Next, he activated the Night Crawl skill, causing his skin color to darken.

Viral Slash, Claw Bullet, and Claw Barrage all functioned as usual.

"So these blue fibers are like nanomachines, adapting to allow me to use my skills," he pondered.

Each time he used a skill requiring a specific organ, his body quickly create that organ . Even Mantis Eyes manifested behind his blue-flamed eyes upon activation.

"This is too overpowered," he chuckled in satisfaction.

He had expected to search for compatible mutation skills for his new bloodline, but the reality far exceeded his expectations.

'So, this is the power of the real system,' he mused sinisterly. 'That last one felt like a joke compared to this.'

To put this in perspective .

What he had before was akin to an old PC without a dedicated GPU and was using a HDD, while the real system was the latest, equipped with the fastest GPU, CPU, SSD, NME.2 and numerous other high specs hardware.

The two could not be compared at all.

Returning to his status, he made a mental note of all the changes in his new system.

He saw that some of his stats had increased, and all his skill points had been reset, which was a good thing because he needed to rethink his skill allocation now.

There was also a new skill available.

[Death Aura: The host can release an aura, the intensity depending on Energy Level. The higher the host's Energy, the more the Death Aura would increase the power of undead beings that the host considered as allies and decrease the stats of hostile enemies.]

'Sweet, this is a good skill for weakening enemies,' Reign nodded in satisfaction.

He began stretching his new body, still naked, so he searched for some clothing .

After finding clothing, he sat on a chair and proceeded to allocate his attribute points and skill points.

Energy (F-)— > (C) = 45AP

Reign felt a sudden surge of power from within his body after putting almost all of his attributes to energy.

It wasn't the type of power associated with raw strength; instead, it felt more metaphysical.

Intuitively, he knew that he could now infuse this energy into his attacks as a buff to increase their power.

"Let's test it out,' Raising his hands, he created bones into long, sharp projectiles that pierced the air and hit the wall.

SWOOOSH!

The damage wasn't particularly impressive, but he expected as much.

Next, he unleashed the same skill, but this time he infused it with energy.

SWOOOSH!

When the projectile hit the wall, the impact was almost doubled in terms of intensity.

"Sweet," a smile formed on his face after witnessing the effect.

'Now I know which skills to improve' he thought to himself.

Claw Bullet I > Claw Bullet X.

Claw Barrage I (SP)> Claw Barrage X (SP)

Clawer I > Clawer VIII

Those were the three skills that he thought would provide him with immediate effect . As for the others, he would increase them later when he had ample skill points.

Back to the Present

"Why are you standing like an idiot?" Reign asked George.

George was jolted by Reign's mocking question and quickly recomposed himself.

"Where is Anna?" he asked.

"Oh, they took her away," Reign answered with a nonchalant tone.

His voice was now more human-like, so George could tell how uninterested Reign was about her daughter's well-being.

"You just let them take her?" George bellowed in anger.

"Let them? They were too powerful. Even in this state, I doubt I could win," Reign shook his head and continued to drink his coffee.

His sense of taste was now better than before, so he wanted to savor the moment.

George was lost for words. Reign had a point, but he was still pissed off by his attitude.

"So what now? When are we going to save her?" George asked.

'Save her? What the hell is this old man talking about?' Reign thought to himself. He just spared him because he wanted information about those three.

But he realized that revealing his true intention would just make George less cooperative, so he decided to go along with his delusion.

"Don't worry, I promise to save her. But for now, I need some information about those three," Reign shifted the topic.

George sighed in relief after hearing Reign's words.

Of course, he did not fully believe him, but in his current state of mind, he would even believe the word of the devil himself.

"Those people are Vampires, "George revealed.

"No shit, Sherlock. I could figure that out just by looking at their faces. I wanted to know something more specific, like where their base is or why they came for Anna. You know, useful stuff," Reign shook his head in disappointment.

Anna's disappearance had turned George into a complete idiot, and Reign felt like punching some sense into him.

"I..." George's voice wavered, his eyes darting nervously around the room as he struggled to find the words.

"I don't know"

'This old man is useless,' Reign sighed, his disappointment evident in his tone. He had hoped George would be more useful, but it seemed he had expected too much.

'But he still has some use to me, so maybe I'll keep him around,' Reign mused, stroking his chin.

He didn't know much about this world, and having George as a slave would make his life easier.

He just needed to keep pretending that he was doing all of this to save Anna, and George would obey him like a dog.

"We will find her, don't worry," Reign reassured George, using the carrot-and-stick approach to motivate him.
