World Evolution! Awakening Limit Grade Talent!

Aiden is holding the red core in his hand and he doesn't feel strange about how his ability told him to absorb the core.

'It doesn't feel weird at all and it feels like I can easily absorb this thing inside my body with just a little effort.'

So he closed his eyes while holding the red core in his hands and focused on absorbing it into his body. Right after he focused on absorbing it, his hand started to glow with red light where he was holding the core as it vanished and became a red light that entered his body. Explore m,v,l,e,mpyr today.

Aiden didn't see any of this as he had closed his eyes to focus better. However, Alicia, standing beside him, watched everything he had done. Seeing the red light entering his body, she felt a little afraid as she didn't know what was happening.

But she didn't disturb him, thinking it could be harmful to her brother, as she could see he was focusing. From what she had seen, it looked like her little brother knew what he was doing, so she waited beside him, watching him, waiting for him to open his eyes.

As soon as she saw him opening his eyes, she asked him directly without holding anything back as she was concerned about the red light that had entered her little brother's body.

"Aiden, what did you just do? Are you feeling okay? There was a strange red light that entered your body. You're not feeling any pain, are you?"

Aiden heard everything his big sis said, so he replied to her in a calm voice.

"It's nothing, big sis. I'm perfectly fine, or you could say even better than before. Just now, I absorbed the red stone we got from the rabbit we killed, and I think my stats have increased after absorbing it."

Alicia, hearing his words, felt a little surprised—not because his stats had increased after absorbing the stone, but because of how quickly he had figured out how to use it. She decided to ask him.

"But Aiden, how did you know how to use the stone so quickly?"

Aiden, hearing the question, didn't feel panicked at all and answered her in a calm voice.

"Firstly, I've seen things like this in video games, but more importantly, if you hold the stone in your hands and even think of absorbing it, you will feel like you can do it easily."

Alicia, hearing this, found it reasonable but didn't think she would understand without holding the stone herself.

"Okay, but next time you get a red stone, let me hold it too because I also want to feel what you felt."

While Alicia was talking, Aiden called up his status in his mind, and a transparent blue screen appeared in front of him. He focused on increasing his strength and also felt that it had increased, but he didn't feel like it had increased that much.

(Stats Limit of Mortal Humans: 10)

He could see that Air Affinity had appeared on his status, but he now focused on the strength stat, which he had intended to increase. Focusing on it, he saw the +0.5 next to it, which displeased him a little, as he only got so few stats after killing the rabbit.

The system, hearing his shameless thoughts, decided to answer him, as her charming yet dominant voice sounded in his mind.

'What did you think you would get? You only killed an awakened beast whose stats were only close to reaching the limit. It's already lucky enough that you got a 0.5 increase in strength, as the most you can get from an awakened beast is a 0.1 to 1 stat increase.'

'So getting 0.5 is very good considering this, but in extremely rare cases, you can get a skill stone inside it, which will let you learn a random skill based on the type of beast you killed.'

'So be grateful you got 0.5 stats from the little rabbit.'

Aiden listened to everything she said intently, as it was useful information for him. After learning that the maximum you can get is 1 stat from killing an awakened beast, he felt better. After all, he only had to shoot some bullets to get this much of an increase, which would take him months of training.

He looked at his status once again and noticed that his main talent, Celestial, had increased from FFF+ to E-, but he hadn't yet checked if he had gotten anything else. Excitedly, he focused on his talent as the blue screen in front of him changed.

#???...

Aiden, seeing that the number of times he could copy talents per day had increased to two, felt ecstatic. It had only been a few hours, and he already had one more chance to copy another talent.

This time, he wasn't going for any low-ranking talent. The best talent he could copy was right next to him, and he couldn't forget the powerful thunder his big sis had shot at the dummy earlier.

'Haha! I can't wait to copy her talent!'

'Why should I wait? I should copy it now,' he thought, looking at her with intense eyes.

Alicia, who had asked her little brother a question and saw him lost in thought, waited for him to snap out of it. But now, suddenly, she saw an intense look in his eyes, as if she were his prey.

'Is he thinking about doing something to me later at night inside the laboratory, like he promised earlier?'

'It's good to know I'm not the only one who always thinks about those things.'

Aiden had even forgotten about the question she had asked. Without saying anything, he turned to face her and hugged her tightly in his embrace.

Alicia, feeling the sudden hug, didn't say anything at all. She quickly reciprocated by wrapping her arms around his body and just stayed there.

Aiden, knowing his big sis wouldn't let him go until he told her to, started focusing on using his talent's copy ability. This time, it activated much faster than before, as he could now feel the different sources of elements from her.

Without focusing on the other two, he focused on the biggest source of lightning inside her and tried to make a connection with the element.

Seconds passed as he focused on making the connection with the source of the lightning element. Like before, beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and finally, after 30 seconds, he felt an unbreakable connection with the lightning element, much stronger than the connection he had with the air element, as a message flashed in front of his eyes.
