BXBX NOVEL Chapter 146: [Bonus] Responsive
He still had a spare Skill point to use, and he was excited to see what would happen if he put it on "Seed."
With that in mind, he focused his gaze on the option and started adding it manually; each click was satisfying.
[Seed 1/200]
[Seed 2/200]
[Seed 3/200]
…

[Seed 200/200]
[Congratulations, Host, on achieving the first stage of Seed]
[Unlocking the Avatar Customization ]
\'Avatar Customization?\' Reign pondered to himself.
A new window popped up, and the image of the parasite appeared, but this time there were some dots on each of its parts.
When he decided to click one, dozens of options appeared, accompanied by sliders that allowed for fine-tuning and customization to his heart\'s content.
\'Wait, is this what I think it is?\' A big smile spread across Reign\'s face.
He was staring at something akin to a character customization menu in games, but this one was far more intricate and detailed.
He experimented with it for a while and discovered that there was an option to change race.
When he pressed it, a number of races appeared, but he noticed that most of them was weaker than his current one.
[System: Host, you can input your own sample to be copied.]
\'I could do it?\' Reign pondered.
If he could copy his current race, then that would be for the better.
At least by doing so, he wouldn\'t have to adjust much in how to control his new body just in case.
However, something was still bothering him.
"System, can you explain to me in detail about this Seed? " Reign asked.
[System: The Seed is an alien lifeform, a parasite that can copy all the traits of its host.]
[The Seed that the host has no longer have consciousness because the system deleted it, and it could be customized thanks to the system\'s abilities.]
"What will happen if I die ? "
[When the host dies, your consciousness would be automatically transferred to the Seed to start a new life.]
[To ensure that host will be able to transfer body, the seed would not activate right away. Instead, it would be immune to any type of attack and undetectable until it finds a suitable time to start growing and ultimately provide the host with a new body]
\'This thing is really pretty convenient,\' Reign remarked, impressed by the practicality of the Seed\'s protective measures.
However, he was still reluctant towards the idea of dying if he could avoid it.
It wasn\'t an everyday occurrence to receive a second chance at life, or in his particular circumstance, a third chance if the seed were to activate.
Plus, dying again would imply that he had made a grave mistake, something not to be proud of.
"What if I don\'t die? I\'m pretty strong, you know," Reign asked in a sarcastic manner.
[System: Host\'s chance of dying against various levels if they go all out]
>Beginning Demon Lord : 50%
>Middle Demon Lord : 100%
>Peak Demon Lord :Instant Death
>Beginning Demon King :Instant Death
>Middle Demon King :Instant Death
>Peak Demo King :Instant Death
> Demon God :Instant Death
"Are you for real? " Reign sighed, feeling like the system had just insulted him. It even gave him a detailed breakdown to humble him.
What was worse was the tag of Instant Death.
It meant that if he fought one, forget about being able to put up a fight—he would die instantly.
How scary were the local powerhouses of this world?
\'So this is what it means to be a frog in a well,\' Reign sighed.
He had only been in one city and hadn\'t really seen what this world had to offer.
\'I better not act too arrogant or I might get killed,\' he made a mental note to be careful.
"System, what will happen to you if I die and my consciousness transfers?" he asked, realizing that the system was his lifeline.
Even with a new body, without the system, he would basically be crippled.
[System: The Ultimate Mutation System is linked to the consciousness and not the physical body, so it would be carried over.]
"Good," Reign nodded in satisfaction.
"You\'re more responsive now," he remarked, as he noticed the frequency and the way of the system talking.
[System: With the host\'s increased energy reserved, the system\'s processing power has grown faster as well. As the host continues to develop, the system will be able to offer even greater assistance and functionality in the future.]
"That\'s good to know," Reign nodded in understanding. It was only logical that his system grew with him.
"Now, I just need to focus on the Seed first," Reign affirmed, redirecting his attention.
He began customizing the Parasite. MVLeMpYr-reader
When he selected his own race, the form in the window suddenly changed to look exactly like him when he first transformed into a Skull-Fiend.
However, he was shocked to see that there was another option.
"I can customize the face?" he pondered, surprised by the possibility.
He double-checked and confirmed that there was indeed an option for him to alter facial features, including skin, eyeballs, and achieve a totally human appearance.
He wasn\'t particularly bothered by his current face; in fact, he rather liked looking like a powerful and scary skull-faced monster.
However, he acknowledged that having a human face also had its merits.
He could move around cities without looking suspicious, and at the same time, he could adopt a double persona to protect his identity further.
Besides, he could always wear a skull mask when fighting on top of his human face, so having one would not be a disadvantage at all, just in case he really died.
\'Let see,\'
After thirty minutes of careful experimentation, the face of his clone underwent a huge transformation.
Now, it possessed smooth-white skin, sleek silver hair, a chiseled jawline that spoke of strength, a perfectly sculpted nose, and a white eyebrows and eyes that radiated charisma with mesmerizing shade of blue
It bore some similarities to his face when he was still human, resembling what he imagined he might look like if he was around the age of 25.
[Seed Stage 2 = 0/400]
He still have 68 skill points but it\'s not enough to get to stage 2 , so he decided to increase Undead Eye.
Reign hadn\'t been using it for a long time, but it wasn\'t absorbed by the mantis eyes, so it must have something unique about it.
Undead Eye (1) > (20)
After upgrading the skill, he quickly used it to see what changed.
The moment his vision shifted, he immediately noticed the difference.
He could see through walls—not just that, he could also discern people waiting outside the cabin, their vital energy visible to him as if he had some form of X-ray vision and Infrared Combined.
\'This is more handy than I thought,\' Reign nodded , impressed by the new capabilities of his upgraded skill.
With this power, he would have the ability to detect everyone present as long as they were still alive.
