Skill Integration

Flying through space and across dimensions in a stream like pattern was this current of rainbow colored energy that was moving faster than the speed of light. Inside of this rainbow energy was a person that could only be described as handsome.

He had hair the color of gold, purple, and black intermingling with one another. A pair of black and gold horns rested upon his head like a crown. He had piercing eyes that were a mix of various shades of gold and purple. If one were to see this man smile they would notice pearl white fangs that an apex predator would adorn.

His body was sturdy and domineering at 6ft 6in tall. He had reptilian-like wings growing out of his back tearing through a neon yellow hoodie that had red words written on it. Wearing a pair of jeans, a black and gold colored tail tore through the back part of the pants. The tail was reptilian like and appeared to be three thinner tails intertwined and wrapped around each other to give it the appearance of one tail.

This person who was smiling inside the stream of energy was none other than Eclipse. Floating in the energy, he looked eagerly at a screen that only he could see as new notifications began to appear.

"Water Magic integrating… Successful. Gravity Magic integrating… Successful. Abyssal Magic integrating… Successful." The voice read off in order as they appeared on the screen. With each new skill Eclipse's otaku senses tingled with joy. The smile on his face getting wider and wider showing a row of sharp fanged teeth akin to that of a shark.

The smile however didn't last long however when the next few notifications were read off by the mechanical voice in his head. "Dungeon Creation integrating… Failed. Demonic Summoning integrating… Failed."

"No,no, no! This can't be happening! What kind of system fails integrating skills into the person?! This never happens to the MC in the manga!!" Eclipse screamed in despair, falling to his knees and clutching his head on the verge of crying.

As if in response to Eclipse's sadness, a new line of text appeared in front of him that rekindled hope within him. The cold metallic voice read off, "Analyzing error…" Just like that Eclipse held his breath and waited. Slowly seconds began to tick by, one by one. After what felt like an eternity the system spoke once again alongside a new appearance of text.

"Integration of the two skills is impossible due to the skills being exclusive to the demon noble race as stated in the laws of the new world the host is being transferred to. Processing alternative solution." The system told Eclipse, causing him even more confusion.

"If I'm not a part of the demon race, then what am I?" Eclipse couldn't help but mumble to himself as he touched the horns on his head. Before this new piece of information was presented to him, Eclipse would've been willing to bet his whole life savings on his being reincarnated as a demon of some kind like a lot of novels he had read about. "I should remember to never go to casinos if this new world has some, otherwise knowing me I'd lose something important."

Just as he finished pondering on this new revelation, the system finished searching for a solution. "New skills unique to the host are being created by evolving, dissecting, and mutating former skills to abide by the laws of the world. Integration will now recommence."

"Abyssal Creation integrating… Successful. Fragmented Lottery integrating… Successful. Abyssal Summoning integrating… Successful. All starting skills are now integrated into the host. Uploading general knowledge and language of the world… successful." As the system finished it's final sentence an unbelievable amount of knowledge went flying into Eclipse's mind, but surprisingly he felt no pain at all from the overload of knowledge.

Before he could even begin to process the information he was just given, they system said one final line that caught his attention and sent a shiver of excitement and anticipation down his spine. "Preparations complete, transportation to the new world "Strazalxia" will now begin."

Instantaneously a blinding white light spread out from the rainbow like energy with Eclipse at its epicenter. The light spread across the entire dimension he was currently in instantly painting it all completely white. Then as fast as the white light appeared, it disappeared without leaving a trace as if nothing happened.

Somewhere in a remote region of the planet Strazalxia, in a dense jungle that was a few thousand miles wide, a blinding white light was seen shining through the tree top canopies. Then as quickly as the light appeared, it disappeared without a trace.

This caught the attention of a few entities powerful and ancient enough to sense the tear in reality from within the deepest reaches of the jungle. However, they quickly lost interest and stopped investigating when they sensed the weak and trivial power emanating from the new arrival. This entity that they all quickly disregarded without a second glance was Eclipse.

"I hate you, you stupid &#*($&&%^ system!!!!!!" Eclipse screamed as he was free falling from the top of the jungle canopy that was around 300 feet in the air. "Am I really going to die in my second life in the first ten seconds?! I'm not trying to go for a speedrun record!!!"

As he was free falling, Eclipse quickly realized something as a lightbulb went off in his head. "I have wings, I can fly!" He shouted in triumph as two giant, majestic, reptilian-like wings extended out from his back.

"Ha take that you $^*#&@ system!" Eclipse said in triumph as he flapped his wings. However, to Eclipse surprise and horror, even with his wings extended he continued to fall. At most the wings slowed his descent ever so slightly, but they didn't allow him to fly.

"WHAT ARE THESE?! FLIGHTLESS CHICKEN WINGS?!" He screamed in anger as the ground approached.

"I'll get you back for this you stupid *%&-." Before Eclipse could finish his colorful remark to the system, a tree branch decided to wave hello to him smacking Eclipse right in the face.

The result of the surprise welcoming sent Eclipse cartwheeling backwards through the air with a leaf shaped red handprint on his face. A stream of blood coming from his nose making impressive shapes of art as he went flying through the air.

All of a sudden a gust of wind came in from the west slamming a branch into Eclipse's back cheeks. At this moment as if time froze and zoomed in on his face, a look that could only be described as that of a masochist who was being punished and enjoying themselves could be seen. His eyes were closed and a reddish blush appeared on his face as he moaned. "OOOOooohhhaa."

It was at this moment as he was sent flying yet again that he thought to himself. "System-San, did I ever tell you I actually love you and didn't mean those things I said previously?? So if you could forgive me and spare me I think we could become great frie-."

Before he could even finish his thoughts, Eclipse plummeted into the ground with the sound of an explosion akin to a cannon firing. He had done many belly flops as a kid, but this was by far the worst one in his current and past life. As he slammed into the ground from the baseball-like swing from behind, an indent was made into the ground like what a person would outline at a crime scene.

With his face still planted in the dirt, Eclipse mumbled out as if talking directly to the deepest pits of hell, "This means war you crappy system!" After making his declaration, he slowly lifted himself from the crime scene and stood up.

"Huh, so that's what my face looks like…" Eclipse mumbled to himself as he looked at what could only be described as a perfect portrait of his face and the front of his body implanted into the ground. However, before he could get a closer look to see how much he had actually changed after getting a new body, a rustling noise came from the bushes nearby grabbing his attention.
