The Life Hacker System - 35 Skill Evolution

Before Taka got round to evolving one of his skills, he had an epiphany.

‘Hey system?’

[Yes host?]

‘Can I name you?’

A short pause followed before the system replied.

[System doesn’t understand hosts question.]

‘What I mean is, can I call you something other than ‘system’?’

Another brief silence followed.

[Due to the system been called ‘The life hacker system’ host is unable to change its name….]

The system paused before continuing.

[Does host wish to give system a nickname?]

A smirk appeared on Taka’s face.

‘Hell Yeah!!!!’

‘Now what should I call you’

With his chin resting on his fist he began to think.

–

10 minutes passed before laughter could be heard from Taka.

‘System from now on I’ll call you Hacker… ahahahahahaha☜(˚▽˚)☞’

If Hacker had a face and a hand, right about now he would’ve face palmed.

[Does host with to confirm ‘Hacker’ as system’s new nickname?]

‘Yep’

Hacker sighed.

[System set ‘Hacker’ as designated nickname, host may call me as such from now on]

At this point Taka was already dancing around the room merrily.

Finally calming down, he sat back at his desk ready to proceed.

‘So Hacker, what do you suggest I do next?’

[Host is advised to evolve a skill, then view your new bloodline abilities]

‘Okay let’s do that then, Thanks Hacker’

[My pleasure host( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ ) ]

Opening his status screen Taka began to search through his skills to see which one he’d evolve.

‘So Hacker how does this skill evolve ticket work?’

[You pick a skill, then you use the skill evolve ticket to….. wait for it…. Evolve it :O]

‘Yeah, yeah thanks for stating the obvious Hacker’

[You’re most welcome host]

Taka would swear he could hear Hacker giggling but returned to opening his skills window.

Despite all of the skills he had, the only skill that was standing out to him at this moment was ‘Animal Affinity’ which was weird, mainly because many of his other skills had the potential to be massively overpowered.

Still he couldn’t get over his fixation on that one skill, it almost seemed like it was calling to him.

Now Animal Affinity was by no means a powerful skill, useful maybe but not powerful. It had two abilities, the first made all animals feel great affection towards the host, the second made it so all animals could no longer attack the host. So yes, the skill was useful, just not powerful.

This was why Taka felt so conflicted, there were many other skills which when evolved would be powerful, yet his gut, his instinct was telling him to pick it. Thinking for a while he’d finally decided.

‘Oh screw it, let’s just go with my gut, it hasn’t steered me wrong yet’

‘Hey Hacker?’

[Yes host?]

‘Please use my skill evolve ticket on ‘Animal Affinity’.’

[Host wishes to use skill evolve ticket on ‘Animal Affinity’. Host please confirm your choice?’

Taka quickly confirmed his choice before he changed his mind.

‘Hacker give me a description on my new skill’

[Certainly host]

[Skill: Alpha.

Abilities:

— Animals cannot hurt or attack host.

— Animals treat host as their leader and will listen to any and all commands host gives.

— Humans show greater respect toward host and see host as a leader (Depends on the people involved.)

Side note:

Supernatural creatures/people may be effected differently compared to animals and humans. System doesn’t have enough knowledge on them yet to give host a definitive answer. System apologises.

–

Taka quickly read the description on his new skill and was pleasantly satisfied. Though the skill wasn’t overly powerful, it still had its perks and it was definitely an upgrade from the previous skill.

Happy, he decided to continue on to his next port of call.
