Marcus was pacing around the room, from one corner to another while biting his right thumbnail while the floating screen was also keeping up with the pace when he heard the voice.
[Would host like to put system on Auto?]
"What does that an?" He asked while fuming.
[System will explain what is within system's scope and guide host in decision making]
"Okay," Marcus muttered, he knew that would be for the best, after all, geographers never get lost...
It's better to learn more about what you don't know.
*Ding!*
[System explanation!...]
It sounded in his head and the words appeared on the floating screen, the three dots were disappearing and appearing sequentially like sothing was loading.
*Ding!*
[What would host like to know?]
'Huh? Oh... I think I'm the one asking questions'
"Ok... First of all, how did you co to be, I an what are you? Where do you co from? How do you enter my body or head?"
Marcus bombarded the system with questions as he pointed at the floating screen.
Marcus felt that was the first thing anyone would want to know, the source of the system, even though he still had many questions.
[Unlock System Secret in Rank 100!]
'Damnit! Damnit!'
He was frustrated, 'So I will need to get to Rank 100... Given that I'm in rank 1, for rank to increase, XP would increase, level will increase'
Marcus put his hands on his chin and thought for a mont.
'Eh!!!... That ans I would have to live for hundreds of years to reach rank 100'
'Well I don't mind'
"So what does Hiveman an? Is that a system error? And that creepy class—am I hunting insects, perhaps beast insects?"
[The species and class are correct. Host is half human, half bee since host harbors Gene Bee System, which makes host class Insecta. System uses taxonomy to categorize beings. That is why host has a built-in exoskeleton armor which host is yet to master.]
Marcus felt bitter, harboring a parasite, deep down he knew he was sothing else, half human half bee, he knew he wished to have superhuman power but he never thought he would end up becoming a hybrid.
[Host shouldn't be down, system and host share a symbiotic relationship]
'Shit!, well, it can't be helped, I will just go with the flow'
Marcus gazed at the stat screen which was still floating, he still had so questions regarding those shit skills, and the range of the attributes and gear, the power range.
"What is the attributes range, and also the gear"
[All is maximum of 10 and minimum of 1—which falls in average human attribute]
'wow! Considering the perception, that is way too high, which ans I'm 3 tis more sensitive than a normal human'
[Precisely, as akin to the trait of host species—hiveman, the sa applies to agility and Dexterity]
"What about those skills? What are they?" Marcus' face contorted in anger as he asked the questions but part of him prayed that it should be sothing worth harboring a parasite system for after all it did call the relationship symbiotic, there should be benefits.
Skills:
[Basic Skills: Gene Usurper] host can usurp genes from any mutant beast you defeat by consuming their gene core]
"Gene core? What the hell is that?" After standing for a while, Marcus sat down on the bed with a thud.
THUD!!...
[Gene cores are solidified Raw genes in the form of gems located in mutant beasts, by consuming the solidified Raw genes, you can gain one of the mutant beast skills]
"Oh... so the precious stone i Ling showed yesterday night was a gene core" Marcus ca to a realisation.
"She didn't even know"
"Amazing! It wouldn't hurt to swallow a gem in order to gain power"
Marcus panted hard at once, his ears twitching at the explanation although the voice was explaining in his head.
He licked his lips and smirked Marcus knew that in so video gas, gems would be smashed and the player would be filled with magical powers, but since this wasn't anything magical, Marcus thought it made sense, after all, food is also consud.
'Ti to defeat powerful Mutant beast' he smiled mischievously.
[Notice!: Gene core consud will be rged with another gene core in order to gain skill, which ans, you have to consu at least two gene cores, then rge with Gene rger with a 50% chance of compatibility in order to create an Overpowered gene, Overpowered gene gives Evolved Skills which host has non at the mont]
"Shit! Why is there a need for compatibility"
Marcus thought back to his luck, it is fucking one, not helping the matter at all.
[Increase in luck will increase Host chance, given host luck, it seems host is unfortunate ]
"Fuck you!!" Marcus yelled, if soone saw him they would probably think he was a loon as he yelled at the ceiling.
"Ok... I have got the Gene Usurper and rger part, what about the Gene Scissors and Gene Installer"
Marcus cald down and asked.
"And the last one" he narrowed his eyes and read. "R-raw Gene Utiliser, what does that an"
[Gene Scissors is a skill used for splitting Raw Gene, if host doesn't want to rge Gene based on chances, host could split a Gene core with Gene scissors and gain an inferior gene from the product but it takes ti, an average splitting ti takes a week]
Marcus swallowed a heavy gulp of saliva.
[While the Gene Installer is used to install overpowered genes and inferior genes into host body, thereby giving host evolved gene skills]
[Notice!: Advice against Raw Gene Utiliser, Raw genes are unrged and unsplited Genes, Raw Gene Utiliser installed Raw gene into host body giving host Mutant beast' skill but host is in danger of mutant beast personality, ninety percent chance of host going berserk!!]
"Oh..." Marcus ca to realisation.
"I don't want that"
If he were to utilize a mutant beast gene directly without rging or splitting and use its skill, there is a ninety percent chance that he wouldn't be himself again.
"If only I could have the sa ninety percent chance of rging Genes"
'hmmph.. That is how it is, so that is why the risk is high since it doesn't need chance like Gene rger'
"So... What is gene token" Marcus asked as he scrutinizingly checked the stat, leaving anything behind can have setbacks.
[Gene tokens are used to purchase available items from the store like recovery portions and gears crafted]
"Wait a minute, this is sohow different from video gas, why would I need to purchase what I crafted"
Marcus asked exasperatedly, his gaze fell on the ticking wall clock, the ti was 1:50 p.m., almost three hours had passed.
[Gears are crafted from gene remains and kept in system store, gene remains are the body of mutant beasts or other creatures except humans, host could also usurp gene remains by consuming the body parts of mutant beasts or the whole body of other creatures whose abilities host like]
'Eek!!, Uncooked?!'
[Precisely]
[Gene tokens are gained through daily Quest, purchasing items and gears could be part of Daily quests]
"Well... It seed there wasn't any need to panic, as long as I could gain gene token by performing Daily quests"
*Ding!*
[One new ssage!]
[Daily quests available!]
Marcus saw an envelope icon manifest at the top left side of the floating purple screen.
"Oh... Let's see what the quest is about" he was kinda anxious. "Open"
