Chapter 12: The First Step (2)
'...Why is she saying "a few years" like it's just a couple of days? She makes it sound like that's a short period or something.'
Ellis couldn't help but wonder, but in the end, he was actually relieved and satisfied that it apparently wouldn't affect him much. After all, he was still a baby- he would need time to grow anyway.
With that settled, he moved on... and asked.
'Why is there only one ability? And I don't see anything indicating levels, so how do I get Blank points?'
[Due to the shard of **** absorbing some parts of the blessing, those left parts became fragmented and unusable. So when the **** system was established, I redirected them into the host's innate talent.]
[Then, after merging and improving, it became the "Ephemeral Soul Genesis" ability.]
[The level function was removed because it lost its meaning. As for Blank points, they can be obtained through killing others.]
Digesting the answer thoroughly, Ellis felt like nothing much had changed. His ability just had a different name now, and instead of earning unassigned points upon leveling up, he would get Blank points immediately.
Accepting that, Ellis, who had initially thought his questions were already over, found himself asking Aurora yet another one.
