George's eyes landed on the [Free Newbie Package] option. A free gift? This was new. His previous system never had anything like this.
Without hesitation, he selected it.
[Detecting that the user has not acquired a technique...] [Granting the user a Merging Technique Coupon.]
A small, glowing ticket appeared on his system screen. His curiosity piqued, he tapped on the [Description] button to learn more.
[Merging Technique Coupon: Allows the user to merge multiple techniques into a stronger, personalized technique.]
George's breath hitched. "Merging techniques??!!" His voice, though still that of a baby, carried his excitement.
This… this was a game-changer.
Back in his past life, when he served in the military, his commander had ridiculed him for choosing the Basic Breathing Technique. As punishment—or rather, humiliation—he had been showered with countless techniques, ones he could never use. The commander would toss them to him carelessly, mocking his lack of potential.
But what the commander never realized was that those discarded techniques were actually incredibly powerful.
George had hated the man for taunting him, but now? Now, he had the perfect way to make use of those forgotten techniques.
A grin spread across his tiny face.
Without wasting another second, he tapped the [Use] button beneath the coupon. Instantly, a massive list of techniques unfurled before his eyes, stretching endlessly like a scroll of divine knowledge.
Demon Subduing
Demon Manipulation
Light Magic Arts
Cloud Creation
Fire Circulation
…
George's mind raced. He could only merge ten techniques at a time. He needed to choose wisely.
Without hesitation, his finger hovered over Multi-Purpose Talent Acquisition Technique, then selected nine other techniques to complement it.
And then—
He clicked [Merge].
The screen flickered, the techniques vanishing as a new process began.
A new power was about to be born.
