Chapter 18: Positive Thoughts and Nightmares

Seth pulled up the Weapon Status menu to see the changes and was surprised by the new descriptions for his new abilities. It seemed like the skill tree left out some information for each of them.

'Even still, I will need to test them to see their full capability. But for now, let's read these over to see what the new changes are.'

[

Low-Tier Ability, Aphrodisiac Potion: The user is able to release purple liquid aphrodisiac from themselves. This aphrodisiac induces complete sexual arousal which causes extreme lust, enhances sensitivity to sexual pleasure, and causes those who take it to crave sexual interaction. Can come in addictive or non-addictive versions. Can be taken through skin contact, orally, or by injection, in order of how powerful the effects shall be.

Mid-Tier Ability, Satellite Variants: User is able to satellites of other types, as well as recon. The number of summons increase as well. Satellite types include: Recon, Attack, Defense, Mining, and Repair. Each comes with their own attachments and specs. Can create up to 15 at once.

High-Tier Ability, Grand Healing Factor: The user has a high level of healing. Small and moderate wounds heal rapidly while more severe wounds take slightly longer to heal. They can heal from most wounds, even those that damage the heart or other major organs. Complete regeneration of organs is possible.

With the new information about each of the abilities, Seth was given much-needed information, especially about the healing factor. Before he was only given estimations about the ranks but after reading the effects of the 4th level of healing factor, he was very curious about the 5th.

'But still, this only gives me some of the information. Like how it says that drones are armed with certain weapons. It does not say any of their specs, how they look, or what material they are made from.'

Unfortunately for Seth, he could only test out two of the powers since he was in his soul form. Although he could test the healing factor on his host who he had last seen bleeding out mid-air.

'Now that I think about it, I better check up on her.'

Not sure if he would need to find a new host or not, Seth decided to check out the girl who he was currently inside. But when he went to the crystal to view what was going on, all he saw was the nightmares the girl was currently going through.

It was through her point of view while inside the plane. She was looking at her mother who seemed very beautiful through her eyes, even more than when he saw the woman with Alex's eyes. But all that changed in an instant.

There was a boom and smoke appeared before the girl's eyes. By the time the smoke cleared, the beautiful red-head was missing her head completely. The girl let out a scream before she fell to the floor. But when she looked at the others another gruesome scene was before her.

Lilac's body was bisected by a laser and both of her halves were floating in the air as she had a look of surprise and terror on her face. Titanium was riddled with holes from all the bullets that pierced through his body.

Alex was the most tragic though. While all the others seemed dead, Alex was still alive. But he was not in a good state. Most of his body was freshly burned to different degrees. Some parts were black like charcoal while some were pink like fresh salmon. But with all the blisters that occurred due to the burns, he was a sight to behold.

That was the last thing the girl saw before she began freefalling from a hole in the plane and went crashing toward the ocean. But before she crashed into the ocean below, she could feel a burning sensation on the side of her head before she closed her eyes. And the nightmare started all over.

Seeing that the girl kept having the same nightmare, Seth let out a sigh to himself.

'At least the girl actually experienced a tragedy today and she is only worried about that. Hopefully, she will turn out to be a better host than Alex and keep me entertained for a bit.'

Seth backed off from the crystal and changed his mind about testing his powers at the moment. He decided to head over to the bookshelf and study this new host.

'If she shows promise, I might stay with her. But if she doesn't, I will just find a new host once I get to school. I'm sure I can find at least one half-decent potential Alpha there.'

And so, he opened the first of many books to begin learning about the daughter of the world-famous Ikarus and the future high-tier Alpha, Carla Robinson.
