The Idle System (A LitRPG series Book 7): Family, Pegaz [learn to read books txt] 📗

detected a skill that was created with misinformation.

Divination:

Scrambler: Automatically blocks all Divinations about the user.

Skill will be removed.

One Skill Point will be given as compensation.

Below that box, another one showed up with a single line in it.

The skills needing Life Power have been updated.

What’s the point in giving me a Skill Point when there’s nothing I can use it on?

When John’s thought finished, another box popped up to replace the earlier two.

System has detected three missing skills from version 8.

One Skill Point for each missing skill will be given as compensation.

System will now use the new information to create the missing skills.

John waited for a few seconds before the system made another noise.

Ding!

Misc List:

Share - Idlers 0/2160, Others - 0/1

Unnatural - Idlers 0/2160, Order - 0/1

Soul - Idlers 0/2160, Separation - 0/1

??? - Idlers 0/2160, ??? - 0/1 (Unlocks ???)

John looked over each of the new skills for five seconds for the information to come up.

Share:

Others: The skills you received from Siders can be given to other Siders.

Soul:

Separation: Separate the soul from the body but keep your senses. When your body is soulless, it will enter hibernation and keep all functions and passive skills active.

Unnatural:

Order: Able to ignore the universe’s natural order and kill Transcendents.

I got the first skill it created because I was worried that Kelly couldn’t get the Toxin Power from Sarah’s system.

The third skill is the same thing O’Malley just said about Saints and Demons being able to defy the universe. Why did that skill get created, though?

I’ve got the Demon title and should be able to defy the universe after transcending, unless that only happens when the split personality takes over.

Does it mean that I can’t defy the universe even if I’ve got the Demon title? If that’s true and O’Malley finds out, he might go after Sarah and Kelly just to give that split personality a chance to take over. He must not find out!

What’s with the second skill, though? Why would I need to separate my soul from my body? The skill was created by using the information O’Malley has just given me, but what part of that information would need this skill?

I can’t think of it right now. I can only wait and see what it’s useful for.

John went through some of the skills that were inside the Completed List to check what skills were updated and noticed Force’s Master, Force II’s Fuel, Movement’s Teleport, Defence’s Wall and Drain, Recovery’s Idle, Threads Maker, and the Scan skill now all had the ability to use Chaos Power instead of Life Power or Toxin Power.

The system even showed the differences in usage for each skill. Before the update, the Scan skill’s description said it used 0.8 Life Power per minute, but now it said it used one Chaos Power every 258 years, 4 months, and 5 days of constant use. John assumed the system must take a single unit of Chaos Power to power the Scan rather than taking the unit after the time was up.

The description of the Thread Maker skill changed, too. It stated that John would have to use a single Chaos Power to create all one million threads which had the same length and strength as before, but unless a majority of the threads got destroyed, he would get the Chaos Power back after he reigned them back inside his body.

The system’s thought of everything during the update since I can’t use Life Power or Toxin Power anymore.

John used the new Skill Points to complete all three skills. He had one Skill Point left, but the only skill it could be used on was still locked and he still had no idea how to unlock it.

The first thing he did was go into his Share tab. He looked at Kelly’s name and gave her all the skills he got from Luke and Sarah. Then he gave Sarah all the skills he got from Luke and Kelly.

John could only smile as he was thinking.

I wish I was there to see their faces when they get the notification that their skills were shared with each other.

When it came to Luke, he didn’t share Sarah and Kelly’s skills. While he was a trusted friend, he was not family. He still couldn’t rule out the possibility of Luke turning on him due to past deeds.

After he finished, he returned back to the main system when he noticed something.

Options:

Share - On

Absorb - On

Hide - On

When did I turn the Absorb option on? Wait, O’Malley was talking about Transcendents automatically absorbing the elements strong enough to destroy a planet and need a seal to stop it.

If I turn this option off, will I still need a seal on my powers to stop that from happening? That’s another thing I need to test, then.

John closed the system and looked at O’Malley. “How do Transcendents seal their power so they can live on planets? The last time I saw you, you had a seal on your powers, too.”

O’Malley took out a piece of cloth and held it up. “You wrap this around your chest. It has runes on it which blocks all elements within a hundred miles. That stops our powers from being used and also stops the elements in range from moving.

“Runes have evolved quite a bit since we created them, but at the same time they’ve lost some of their power, so this cloth can’t be duplicated by anyone else besides us Transcendents that have the knowledge.”

O’Malley is really calculative. He wouldn’t say that last part without some meaning. Is he saying he won’t create a cloth for me without some kind of benefit? I better play along so he doesn’t figure out I might be able to seal my own power with the system.

“What is it you want to create a cloth for me?”

“Not much really,” O’Malley replied. “All I want is two promises from you. First, when you gain the ability to defy the universe and kill Transcendents, most of us want you to help
