NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: [2]Energy in it's Simplest Form
-Meliodas POV(Eric)-
Ugh~ my head hurts. it feels as if I had gotten skull fucked by a xenomorph and then got passed around the hive.
Opening my eyes, the sun's blinding lights hit my eyes.
Damn!
My eyes are super sensitive! Like I just came out of the womb or something.
I slowly opened my eyes, letting them get used to the sunshine that was violently hitting them.
"Woah..." was all I could mutter as I was finally able to open my eyes.
Verdant green mountain ranges, all stretched across the horizons.
And this wind, it feels...fresh? liberating?
No, this is Freedom.
Going by that, I can only guess that I'm in Mondstat; the city of freedom ruled by a god in the form of a twink.
[System booting...]
[Sytem implemented]
A floating blue screen manifested in front of me, a variety of info written in it.

+{Soul Distribution Power: An innate ability to distribute a piece of your soul to another by being touched by them. You can acquire power by bestowing an ability, allowing its wielder to cultivate it, and then taking it back.
+{Flawless Healing: In the distribution of your soul, the wounds that one's soul could not heal alone would finally heal. This power healed the physical, mental, and spiritual ailments of those who touched you. While the wound of a person healed, all of their knowledge, skills, and talents would be engraved inside the piece of soul they received from You. And once the person had died, the augmented fragment would return to you.
+{Power Bestowal(Sacred Letter-Schrift): by engraving a letter, signifying an ability, directly onto another's soul, you could share out your soul more deeply, and with greater power. One does this by having others drink his blood within a ritual. The powers granted by this ritual are named Schrift.
+{Reishi Manipulation(Spiritual Matter): Reishi means "spirit particles". Reishi is the main component material that all souls and all spiritual matter. Basically, it is the manipulation of matter or the "Soul" of living things.
Reishi is essentially the same as Kishi, which is what objects in the World of the Living are made of. Kishi is a catchall term for atoms in reality. As a result, Reishi most likely has a wide array of elements which make up the term "Reishi" (as in hydrogen, oxygen, sodium, etc).
Reishi is basically what makes up everything in the most simplest and rawest form.
+{Reiryoku: Reiryoku means "spiritual power" but also relates to "spiritual energy". All Spiritual beings have a certain amount of Reiryoku, but also a certain amount of "potential" Reiryoku. Every race (Hollows, Shinigami, and their subraces) has a maximum amount of Reiryoku possible.
+{Reiatsu(Spiritual Pressure): Reiatsu means "spiritual pressure". Reiatsu, is the emission of Reiryoku. While it directly translates as pressure, it's often used interchangeably with the concept of "spiritual energy", and as a result, Reiryoku.
In simple words, this is the physical force of Reiryoku.
Different races also have different patterns of Reiatsu, making it easy to distinguish what type of race is by just sensing their Reiatsu.
+{Reikaku(Spiritual Sense): A sort of sixth sense for spiritually aware individuals, one that can be honed with training. You could even sense a person's emotions, and locations depending on the changes of a person's Reiatsu.

<[Jisenken-Time Piercing Sword
+Description: The Time Piercing Sword was a bulky, slightly blackened, dark-gray blade that had been meticulously polished, though an infinite amount of old blemishes, faintly remaining over its entire length, glittered in illumination
The sword was originally a «System Clock», a device left by the creators of Underworld as a way to tell time for the residents. Like the mechanical clocks in the real world, the clock consisted of a circle, with twelve numbers arranged around it at equal intervals, and a huge needle that pointed at the numbers.
Unlike an ordinary clock, it was connected to the server's clock; in a sense, it created the time in the Underworld. The sword was formed from the needle of the clock, thus it retained the original's time-altering properties.
+Ability: Due to the sword inheriting the properties of the «System Clock», its «Armament Full Control Art» could interfere with the perception of time in the Underworld's server.
The swords «strengthening» phase allowed the user to seemingly slash the future: the sword's force is conserved in a specific place and unleashed at a specific time, in the form of a powerful heat haze. Due to the nature of this ability, the user must carefully calculate both the time and the place that his opponent will be standing in at a specific time, lest the strike miss its intended target.
In contrast, the «releasing» phase of the «Armament Full Control Art» allowed the user to, in a sense, slash the past. Normally, the Underworld's Main Visualizer maintains logs of all the movement of Human Units in the past six hundred seconds, or ten minutes.
The sword was capable of interfering with these logs, causing the system to mistake the Unit's position at the time of the slash with their position exactly six hundred and one seconds before the slash. This allowed the sword to attack a target by slashing at the spot they had stood at in the past. Additionally, due to directly interfering with the system, this slash completely erased the target's Durability, no matter how high the value had been.
In simple words, as long as the sword slashes a person's past self, no matter how strong they are or what abilities they have, they will be absolutely obliterated.

holy fuck...
I didn't think I would get these many skills from Yhwach at 5 percent, wait, why is it even at 5%?
Meh, it works either way.
But it seems like I haven't gotten the [All Mighty] skill from him yet, i'll probably get it once I level the template more.
Then there's my system. Its called the [Support System].
I don't know what it does yet but I'm sure ill figure it out later. Right now i just need to gather myself and get to a safe place.
There's also the [Mythos] skill. Now that I read through it, I've realized where it was from; Final Fantasy 16.
The game was one of my favorites, though I haven't played it in a while, which is why I didn't remember the term "Mythos" the first time I heard it.
But right now, I can only choose one.
Hmmm...
I'm going with Odin.
I think that his power set will go greatly with my abilities and my weapon.
Considering that I'm going to be a swordsman, might as well boost that talent with the power of the one Eikon that wields weapons.
Plus...having a ride is quite nice.
"I choose Odin" I declared
[Decision made, bestowing Odin]

<[Flash of steel: when dodging an attack you can counter immediately with a Single quick slash no matter the position you are in.
<[Steel Counter: when 'perfectly' parrying an attack from an enemy your speed will increase by 25% for 5 seconds making the perfect buff for an instant counter it also fills up the Zan matter a bit more than a normal slash would in the duration of those 5 seconds.
<[Dark Arms: A skill that allows you to create weapons out of 'Darkness' special skills can also be bestowed upon specific Dark Arms.
+Zantetsuken: a curved one-sided blade that Allows you to stack up attacks with every attack that lands on an enemy body you make on your enemies until you release it all into a single attack in which the strength of the attack depends on the number of stacks you made with each attack. Also has the concept of 'Slice' allowing you to slice through anything and everything no matter it's defence except a weapon of equal power or opposing concept.
-Zan Metter: A meter that is needed to fill up to create stacks of Zantetsuken. Hitting an enemy with Zantetsuken normally will fill up a percentage of the gauge.
-Ultimate skill/Dancing Steel: increases speed by 60%, senses by 100%, and Summons two Zantetsuken swords to charge a dancing furry of attacks and combos to almost all of the enemies within a certain range. It also fills up the Zen Metter significantly even if you only have one enemy within range. At the beginning of the charge-up, you are invulnerable for 3 seconds and the first attack after the charge-up needs to land on at least one enemy, or Dancing Steel and buffs won't activate.

(A/N: Basically a mana burst like Artoria Excalibur from Fate)
-The Lord's Measure: allows you to pre-trace slashes anywhere in a range with darkness. once you slash Zantetsuken from any distance, you activate each line of darkness that was traced there from any distance and fully cut anything that is within those lines. The lines that are placed can be seen by any person so it is easy to dodge.
-Blinding Steel: charge up a single attack that will send out a flying slash of darkness at a quick speed.
-Heavens cloud: A skill that allows you to instantly speed to an enemy and attack 7 times with blinding increased speed. But the first base speed normal attack needs to connect. Depending on how many hits you get in, it increases the Zen Metter decently with each hit.
+Gungnir: A two-sided spear that has the power to draw in enemies with each swing it makes, this is called, can also increase the Zen Metter.
-Dark Vortex: A Skill art in which you fashionably spin Gunir around you causing a pulling vortex that brings in enemies close. Also significantly fills up the Zen Metter depending on the number of hits you get as you perform the Weapon Art.
-Spear surge: A skill in which you throw or stab Gungnir into the ground creating a small domain of Dark energy immobilizing enemies in that certain Range.

Damn, I can feel it.
A sort of foreign energy flowing through every cell in my body.
Hm~ there's something else mixed in there, something more deep.
I can see it, a sort of floating ball that's releasing a sort of fog, no, energy?
I guess that is my soul releasing Reiryoku.
Ooh, wait, there is something else. It is all around me. In the air, the grass, the trees, the animals.
It's Reishi.
There's also a bunch of other energies floating around but I can't tell what they are, well, not as naturally as with my Quincy powers.
I can only guess that it's elemental energy, which is the magical energy of Genshin Impact.
Wait...why does Reishi exist here?
