Chapter 70

Ding! The conditions are fulfilled! A new unique ability "swap" has been unlocked

The couple still couldn't get used to the unexpected surprises from the System.

"A unique ability?" asked Idan with pleasant surprise.

Until now, they only had one unique ability, which was stats transfer. This was their trump card, capable of helping them overcome an entire rank stage.

And now they got a new ability that could rival her?

"Swap?" Arabel read, looking at her status window. She was dizzy from the abundance of abilities, skills, and data.

During the days they spent under Milica's guidance, they were still unable to properly understand their new abilities acquired after the test, and did not have time to raise their levels. For the entire four days, they had been focused on taking control of their bloodlines.

"We've already reached level 20, but before we start the ascension trial again, we need to improve our skills level," Idan said, looking at the long list of skills that needed to be upgraded.

With the help of the System, they could have done it quickly, but for this they had to find time, which, as they understood, was sorely lacking.

In part, they decided to focus on developing their skills during this hike. The Forest of Doppelgangers was perfect for this purpose. Who could be a better sparring partner than your own doppelganger?

"System, can you roughly describe what this unique ability is?" Arabel asked the System, hoping to get an explanation instead of guessing.

In the list, the ability had only the name "swap" and the numbers 0 out of 2.

— this is how the System responded to Arabel's request and explained what their new ability was capable of.

Of course, both were amazed to hear these explanations.

"The ability to swap places?" asked Idan, still in disbelief.

— the System has confirmed.

"Hell, yes!" exclaimed Idan.

It was truly a great ability! Idan's imagination was running wild, and he had already seen many ways to use this skill.

At first glance, what's so special about swapping places with another person? But for Idan, it opened up a lot of tactical options for their joint actions with Arabel.

Arabel was delighted with this ability. At first, she didn't immediately understand what he was talking about, but when Idan explained it to her, she realized how powerful this technique was. Combined with their first unique skill, their powers had increased significantly.

Idan asked:

"What do these numbers next to the name mean?"

Unlike other skills that have levels and require development, unique abilities do not have levels.

The first unique ability demonstrated the percentage of stat points they could transfer to each other. At the moment, this figure was about 50 percent, which was already half of their strength.

[The numbers represent the amount of stored energy. At the moment, the Hosts have two storage cells available. This energy can be spent at will, and it allows you to use a unique ability without wasting mana and Soul Force. When using energy, the distance between the Hosts does not matter. The skill can be activated even if they are on different worlds.

These explanations were a real shock to the couple.

What is this concept that allows them to exchange places across the boundaries of worlds? It seemed like something out of the realm of fiction. However, the System claimed that if they had enough energy, they could easily realize this opportunity.

They didn't need this amazing ability at the moment, but who knows what might happen in the future. Judging by the number zero, they didn't even have enough energy to put it into practice.

"What needs to be done to accumulate energy? Let me guess: System points?" Arabel asked.

, the System replied.

Energy has the ability to self-replenish over time. At your current level, it will take about 1 year to accumulate one unit of energy. The higher your level, the faster the replenishment process will take place.

"Wow!" exclaimed Idan, surprised that this unique ability had such an amazing self-replenish ability. Although 1 year seems like a long time, Idan and Arabel were confident that they would soon be able to raise their level, and then this time would be shortened.

You can use System points to speed up the energy replenishment process. Also, for System points, you can increase the number of energy cells from 2 to 3.

This did not come as a big surprise to the couple. However, looking at the number of their System points, they could only sigh.

Everything needs these System points. But everything related to them is incredibly expensive. Even after two months, they were able to accumulate enough points to buy something, but it was catastrophically small.

They consoled themselves with the thought that while their level wasn't high enough, the number of System points they received for completing System tasks wasn't high. They hoped that as they leveled up, their rewards would increase, and then they would be able to accumulate points faster.

The only thing they were afraid of was that the cost of goods and services might increase in proportion to their level.

Once again convinced that the new unique ability is incredibly useful, Arabel and Idan decided to slightly change their plans. They are determined to take advantage of this journey to improve their old skills, test new ones and, if possible, raise their level by completing the tasks that the System gives them.

The couple was ready for this ordeal and waited with excitement and some fear of the unknown for the arrival to the Forest of Doppelgangers.

Milica gathered the necessary supplies for their upcoming hike and handed them to the couple along with a small bag that had expansion magic applied to it. Bags like this were common for experienced adventurers.

The couple has not yet revealed their secret about the existence of a shared storage space. They had noticed long ago that only the two of them could see the rings on their fingers, which served as the key to this space.

The bag has become a great way for them to hide their ability. They immediately moved everything they needed into this space, and then they could use the bag as a distraction when they needed to use their storage.

However, the most surprising thing for them was that after the ascension trial, they noticed that the size of their storage space had increased significantly.

Which led them to a crazy theory.
