[Eh? Only 5? Why is it? I thought with you around...I can obtain as many abilities as I wanted?] Ainsley gritted her teeth as she looked at Zev.
She knew that she'd be invincible with Zev as her system, but why would he suddenly say that?
Can I even become the greatest with only 5 abilities??
[This is actually your fault too, host. You overused your ability in the war and damaged your core– ]
[But it's already been fixed!]
[It is, but it doesn't mean your body is alright.] Zev shrugged. He circled Ainsley once more while bringing the potion bottle with him.
[Your energy core is fine, but your body can't take a lot of abilities when you're still young because you burned too many lifespans.]
Ainsley's face darkened. She suddenly recalled that she did burn many life spans because she passed the limit of using the luck manipulation ability each day.
[You can get more than 5 abilities after 10 years old, but since your mission is to be the greatest when you're still young, it means that you have to do it with limited special abilities.]
Ainsley would have to be the best even before she's 10 years old because 10 years old couldn't be considered a baby anymore.
Not to mention that a lot of 10-year-old kids in this world were already mature and accomplished much in life. Ainsley wouldn't be any different.
Listening to Zev's explanation, only then did Ainsley understand why her ability was limited to 5. Zev would leave her after she reached her goal, which was before 10 years old.
When it happened, whether she could obtain more abilities without Zev's help or not was questionable.
But while Zev was still around, her body was still too young to take more than 5 special abilities.
That's why the limitation was formed. Not to mention she damaged her body in the war against the Aretha Family…
Connecting all the dots, Ainsley realised that she truly couldn't ask for more.
Ainsley let out a sigh and reluctantly nodded. [Okay, I agree with the rules. 5 abilities are already enough for me to climb to the top!]
Since one ability could have many skills, she could just obtain more skills for her abilities and explore the best way to use them.
No worries!
Seeing Ainsley agree, Zev secretly sighed in relief while patting his chest. [Good, good. Now, drink this potion. You will receive a few options for a new ability that you can obtain.]
Zev threw the potion bottle into Ainsley's hands while the baby caught it fast. Once her palms touched the bottle, a cold sensation spread along her body once more.
The crystal bottle is cold!
[I just drink this, right?] Ainsley popped open the bottle cap and slowly brought the bottle to her lips.
[Yep. Drink it. All of it. Don't waste even a single drop, okay?]
Because an awakening potion was a potion that didn't exist among human society, only the elves, dwarves, and other rare races could make it.
It's precious!
[Okay.] Ainsley nodded as she gulped the potion in one go. As usual, a cooling sensation went down her throat, followed by a sweet taste.
Ah...this time, it's grape flavour?
Ainsley sensed the potion going straight into her energy core and enveloped it with the purple liquid.
The liquid started to emit heat as it engulfed the energy core. At the same time, a notification rang in Ainsley's mind, along with a pop-up window appearing in front of her face.
TING! [Consuming an awakening potion.]
[Please choose one ability that you'd like to obtain from the list below]
#1 Shaman
The ability to contract a dead spirit and borrow their special ability.
#2 Alchemist
The ability to concoct a potion that will be beneficial for the humanity
#3 Otherworldly summoner
The ability to summon a creature from another world to assist the master in any kind of field, as long as the summoner is lucky
When Ainsley saw the list, she almost choked to death.
Why the fck you give me the best list possible?! If it's like this, how am I supposed to choose? I want them all! All of them! Hwaaaa!!
Ainsley looked at the list displayed on the transparent panel with sharp eyes. The more she looked at it, the more she had the urge to shout.
A shaman, an alchemist and an otherworldly summoner! They're all attractive as hell!
But wait, these lists are here because I have met all three professions, right?
I'm close to a dead spirit...so I can be a shaman. I also have an alchemist by her side...Axelle. And there are two otherworldly summoners from the capital staying at the mansion.
Ah, wait, I also helped Alvaro to summon a creature from another world…
It must be because of that.
Indeed, Ainsley was correct except for the alchemist thingy. It's not that simple to be an alchemist without getting surrounded by potions, a high-class alchemist, and more potions.
Ainsley gulped so many potions to recharge her energy back in the war, so her body was so accustomed to potions already.
Plus, Axelle was a high-rank alchemist. He visited Ainsley each day and let her whiff the nightmare-repellent potions…
That's how Ainsley also unlocked the possibility to become an alchemist.
As for the otherworldly summoner, it's because she assisted Alvaro to summon a creature from another world and got to witness the summoning process.
Gave her a few more experiences like that, and she might also become a summoner.
If there's no ability quota limit.
Sadly, there is. So...Ainsley had to be careful choosing which ability she needed from the awakening potion's effect!
