“Finally done. It’s about time to return to the Fort Vienna.”
The red-haired young man muttered to himself before waving his hand. The scene before his eyes changed.
[ Host: William]
3
[Age: 18]
[Endowed Supernatural Ability: Lizard Bloodline (F-Class), Listening to the Wind (F-Class)]
“Reminder: Host, please choose whether or not to make the Listening To The Wind Ability permeant as soon as possible.”
The system’s notification made William a little unfocused. The memories from two days ago flashed through his mind again.
1
He did not belong to this world. He came from Earth and was an extremely ordinary office worker.
However, he never expected that he would accidentally fell off a cliff while skiing. And he had transmigrated to this world as an orphan when he woke up.

Moreover, the most unacceptable thing was that this world was not peaceful. There were countless man-eating monsters on the land, and there were countless gods in the sky. The gods fought each other for their benefit. They did not care about the lives of humans, and even demanded humans to pay tribute.
It would be fine if that were the case. The battles of the gods had not affected humans much. However, this world still had angels that represented the light and demons that bewitched human hearts. Their arenas were among the humans. Each of them controlled a portion of the humans and created chaos. One would become their pawns if they were not careful.
Although the humans were caught in the middle of many forces and were struggling to survive, they were not completely helpless. The humans defended against the invasion of the monsters in the wilderness with their large numbers and built one after another fortress cities.
Moreover, humans were no longer developing high-tech civilization like in his previous life. Instead, they relied on the gods they believed in and communicated with powerful gods to obtain a unique Endowed Supernatural Ability. They relied on their Endowed Supernatural Ability to fight against the monsters.
The most powerful Endowed Supernatural Ability could even travel through the void and kill the gods.

However, there were also weak ones. For example, William’s Lizard Bloodline was one of the weakest Endowed Supernatural Ability. It could not increase his combat strength other than making his body soft and having sticky limbs.
Everyone had to undergo an endowed supernatural awakening when they were eighteen years old. They would be led to the wilderness by a Supernal Rank senior to kill a monster and use its blood to awaken their Endowed Supernatural Ability.
The Endowed Supernatural Abilities were also divided into nine classes: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS.
Besides, humans had long formed alliances with other races that were good at magic and swordsmanship. That allowed humans to survive on the land that was surrounded by monsters before powerful Endowed Supernatural Abilities appeared.
Initially, William thought that he was the main character-like person. Until two days ago when he killed the first monster under his teacher’s accompaniment and awakened the most ordinary and weakest F-Class Endowed Supernatural Ability, the Lizard Bloodline.

The teachers who had high expectations of William also became cold towards him. Being weak was equivalent to being a burden in this cruel world where the strong were respected.
But he suddenly awakened the system just when he thought that he would be an ordinary person for the rest of his life.
The System of Stealing All Things!
3
The ability to steal the monster’s Endowed Supernatural Ability and make it his own.
That shocked William. After all, everyone’s Endowed Supernatural Ability in this world was fixed. Although Endowed Supernatural Abilities could evolve, they would not change too much. For example, the Lizard Bloodline. It would only be the Lizard King’s Bloodline even if it evolved. It couldn’t turn into the Crocodile Bloodline or any other beast’s bloodline.

However, the system told William that he could directly steal a monster’s or someone else’s Endowed Supernatural Ability, allowing him to have countless Endowed Supernatural Abilities.
1
It would be imaginable that even the gods would be terrified if countless Endowed Supernatural Abilities converged on William.
After all, the Endowed Supernatural Abilities of some monsters were exploring the rules of the world and even controlling it. They were no different from the gods.
And he could steal all these Endowed Supernatural Abilities!
Therefore, William left the team and his teacher’s protection to complete the freshman mission. He came to the edge of the oasis to look for monsters that he could hunt.
The reason why he chose the Five-Legged Flame Lizard was that he was weak. He could still fight with the traps that he had prepared beforehand. However, William still had a few wounds on his body after hunting, even though the prey was weak.
He was considered lucky. Those unfortunate ones had already become dry bones under the sand.
The strong preyed on the weak in this world. The weak did not even have the chance to beg for mercy.
“So, I must be the strongest!”
William warned himself firmly and then said to the system, “Make [Listening to the Wind] permanent!”
Although the level of ability was very low, it was after all an Endowed Supernatural Ability that could observe the surroundings. It might be able to play a life-saving role one day.
“Ding! Making permanent, success!”
“Ding… F-Class [Listening to the Wind] × 10, has reached the requirement of fusion and leveling up… leveling up… detected that the Freshman Gift Bag has not yet been opened. An additional evolution has been triggered, beginning the fusion evolution…”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host, [ Listening to the Wind] has been fused into C-Class Elemental Category Endowed Supernatural Ability, [Wind Control] .”
3
[ Wind Control (C-Class): The elves dancing in the wind are your servants, please command them.]

“Ding! Acquired Endowed Supernatural Ability [ Wind Control], Wind Element Affinity + 10. Host, please steal more Wind Element Abilities and master the Wind Element as soon as possible.”

William’s eyes widened, and he was shocked speechless by the sudden series of notifications.
The dry wind blew past the sand, and the sound of every grain of sand was captured by William’s ears. That wonderful feeling made William close his eyes as if he was enjoying it. This world appeared in his heart without even needing him to look at it.
Of course, this wonderful feeling was limited to the 25 meters radius around him. He could not hear anything any further.
William tried to think about it in his heart. He made the wind blow to the north. The wind within twenty-five meters suddenly became violent. It whistled to the north, bringing up the sands as if a sandstorm was coming.
The wind quieted down again when it was more than twenty-five meters away.
“The effective range is only twenty-five meters. This feeling is too great. As expected of an Elemental Category Supernatural Ability. The system told me to collect more Wind Category Supernatural Abilities. How amazing would that be if I could completely master the Wind Element? Would I be able to blow this entire desert away in a breath’s time?”
William could not hide the joy in his eyes. He could not hide the excitement in him. That was only a C-Class Endowed Supernatural Ability. How powerful would those A-Class, S-Class, or even SSS-Class Endowed Supernatural Abilities be?
2
He had the stealing system and would steal all those Endowed Supernatural Abilities as long as he came across them.
The system’s fusion and upgrade made William sigh. As expected, there were no useless Endowed Supernatural Abilities. Any Endowed Supernatural Ability that was considered trash in the eyes of others could become powerful in his hands with the system.
However, these were matters of the future. There was something more important at the moment.
“System, open the Freshman Gift Bag!”
