Chapter 32: System Shop
"Good, finally back to normal."
A smile appeared on his face as he felt uncomfortable in his ten-foot-tall, giant body. And why wouldn't he be? If suddenly you became a giant, anybody would feel weird.
Apollo's strength also returned to its weaker original numbers. But even though it is weird to have a non-human transformation, he didn't feel bad as he got a powerful trump card that could change any dangerous situation.
What he cares about is his life, so what if he had to turn into a half-demon or god? Only when he survives will everything be possible.
He quickly accepted the fact that maybe because of the system or because it swallowed a god, he could now transform into a half-demon god with incredible power and abilities.
He also feels that because he opened the unprecedented tenth prana circuit, his journey to become strong would not follow the usual route.
But that's for later, as all he now had to do was slowly stabilize his new-found strength and abilities. And train all of them to their fullest so that he can use them in any environment or condition.
Now, the last thing he needs to do is figure out how to collect creation points, as it is the most crucial resource and ability of the 'Void creation system'.
Without it, it is just a display profile that shows his stats and condition. He had a feeling that after he collected creation energy points, the system would show its true abilities.
According to the standard routine, most systems need to kill beasts or something to get experience or points. Maybe his system also has similar requirements. So, for this, he needed to hunt animals or beasts.
But beasts are not so easy to find in this world; it is not like they live nearby in groups waiting for them to be slaughtered. Instead, most beasts live in deep mountain forests or valleys far from any civilization.
It would take days for him to travel that far and deep in the forest, and even then, it is not guaranteed that he will find one unless he finds some expert guide who knows the area.
So, all of this cannot be done in a few days, which leaves him with a degraded version of slaughtering animals. Thankfully, behind their Fletcher family estates, there is a small mountain forest where some wild animals live.
Normally, they are all killed so that people around them can't get hurt by some wild animals.
But they do something a little different to train the young seedlings of their family; they never slaughter all the dangerous animals in that small forest and instead leave some animals for the children of the Fletcher family to hunt.
And now, Apollo was going to find some young wolves to see whether he could collect some creation energy points.
In a few minutes, with his fast, inhuman speed, he came backside the Fletcher family's estate, and without thinking much, he entered the mountain.
After walking around for some time, he finally found his target, a black and white coyote. Its length was around 1.7 meters, making it a bit on the bigger side among the wolves.
The coyote, the moment it saw Apollo, felt the danger from him, and without any thoughts of attacking, it tried to run.
But how could an ordinary wolf run in front of him? Instantaneously, a sharp, pointed ice crystal appeared that flying with lightning speed, pierced the coyote's neck cleanly, killing him in a matter of seconds.
He waited for a moment, hoping to hear the sound of the system notification, but just as he thought killing was not the right way, a beeping noise came into his mind, which brought a bright smile to his face.
['Creation energy is detected; would you like to absorb it? Yes or no?]
"Yes"
Without waiting for a moment, he replied, as he could not help but feel excited.
And instantly, mysterious energy seems to have come out of the dead coyote's body and disappeared within his body, and finally, the empty 'Creation Points: 0' changed and became '1'.
"Finally!"
But it was far from over, as once again, a beautiful voice came to his mind.
[Congratulations for activating the new support function of the Void Creation System]
"Um... new support function?"
Apollo was thrilled to hear this notification, as not only did he now know how to get creation points, but he also activated a brand new function of his system.
"Quick, show me the new activated support system."
He quickly looked at the status window, where at the corner of the screen, a new small icon appeared with the name 'Shop'.
"Shop! What kind of shop? Is it like the shop for shopping or something else?"
He quickly looked at the new shop icon, and just as he did that, some new words appeared beneath this icon.
[ Skill ] [ Potions ] [----] [----] ..........
"This!"
Seeing this, Apollo's eyes glowed sharply, as he had already guessed what he could buy from this shop.
Right now, only two sections seem to have opened: [Skill] and [Potions]. So, he quickly opened the skill section.
And immediately, a long list of numerous skills appeared on the screen.
[Shock Jump( Lowest grade): 10 creation points] [Sword Slash(Lowest grade): 10 creation points] ..............
He continued to scroll down and was shocked to see all of this, as, according to his guess, there were a thousand or ten thousand skills here.
This was such a shocking number that he couldn't believe his eyes, and they were not just the lowest level of skill, but there were numerous middle- or even high-grade skills available here.
There wasn't a single middle-grade skill in their family, and yet right now, he was seeing hundreds or thousands of skills in middle grade and higher.
