My World Traveling System: The Harbinger Of Death

-----

"Thanks for your preference~ Come again later!" said Hinata with a greedy smile as she waved her hand, saying goodbyes to Frank and Matsuo.

​​

The night had already fallen, as Frank finally decided to go back home, today was a long day, and Matsuo himself also wanted to rest.

"Alright, see you tomorrow at school, take care," said Matsuo.

"Sure thing, thanks for everything," said Frank.

As Frank walked through the beautiful night streets of Tokyo back to the train station, he made sure to buy a set of new snacks, drinks, manga, and light novels for the hungry Abraddon.

"A lot of things happened today, but for some reason, I don't feel as tired as I should…" thought Frank, as he reached his home, joining dinner with his family and then taking a relaxing bath, finally getting into his room, where he immediately decided to learn the Spells and Techniques he had bought.

One after another, Frank was showered in particles of light, as each book turned into them. The particles of light seeped into his body, engulfing his soul, and transferring great power and knowledge into him.

Ding!

[You learned the [Dark Magic: Level 1], [Lesser Self-Regeneration: Level 1], [Light Ray: Level 1], [Basic Magic Martial Arts: Level 1], [Monster Soul Pact: Level 1], [Light Soul Martial Technique: Level 1], [Fire Soul Martial Technique: Level 1], [Water Torrent Palm Technique: Level 1], [Herculean Strength: Level 1], [Poison Synthesis: Level 1], [Flame Arrows: Level 1], [Ice Spears: Level 1], and [Overseeing Light Eye: Level 1] Skills!]

"So many Skills already, I feel like my Skill window is getting quite big… Well, not like it's a bad thing," thought Frank.

Frank inspected each Skill, as he discovered that some of their capabilities had slightly changed to 'adjust' to Frank's game-like Skill System, which ended making most of them stronger than they originally were.

Frank had selected each Skill carefully, as he wanted to cover a wide array of things, while also acquiring great utility.

Lesser Self Regeneration would bring a new layer of resiliency to Frank's defenses, giving him the ability to automatically regenerate wounds.

The Monster Soul Pact was an amazing Skill, as it would let him connect with the soul of his Monster Pets and share powers.

Light Soul Martial Technique and Fire Soul Martial Technique were rather useful as well, as such Skills would let Frank enhance his very soul with the element of Light, enhancing his speed and reflexes, and the element of Fire, enhancing his strength and vitality.

Although they were the very foundations of a way bigger and greater use of martial techniques, which was named 'Sun Soul Divine Body Technique', which was divided into many techniques until the very minimum of these two.

Although these two techniques could offer an increase in power, Frank felt that he needed yet another bit more before he could feel like he truly had some foundation in physical combat.

Due to that, he chose the Water Torrent Palm Technique, a technique that originates from another Clan within Japan, the Clan created by the God of the Sea and Storms, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, to increase his variety of attacks and the elements he could wield.

Herculean Strength was yet another layer of power that Frank wanted, as he felt that although his physical strength was good for his level, it was nothing outstanding, and decided to take another Skill to reinforce his physical strength with another layer of power.

Poison Synthesis was a Skill that Frank had wanted since he fought the Spiders, as he had grown disappointed in that they never dropped any Spider Poison Skill Book or anything like that.

Poison Synthesis was a Spell often used by Alchemists, which let them create Poison or convert certain liquids into poison, although its use in battle was underdeveloped, as such poison was used to create concoctions by changing around their chemical components.

However, Frank thought that if he were to master his Poison, he would be able to infuse it into his threads or other attacks, letting his enemies slowly die down through poisoning.

The Light Ray, Dark Magic, Flame Arrows, and Ice Spears Skills were a new addition to Frank's magic variety, four new elements that he could easily wield, which could give him a better versatility in battle, as his Gray Magic has no attribute, making it not effective against anything, simply dealing neutral damage.

Lastly, Overseeing Light Eye was a scouting Skill that would come very handy for Frank, as he had always felt that he lacked a way to scout areas far away from him. Although things such as Sonar Wave could be useful for this, Overseeing Light Eye seemed to have a greater range and a better information gathering process through the connection of his eye into the spell, letting him see what it sees.

After having seen the description of his Skills, Frank decided to create a Soul Pact with Ruby and Ginseng through his newly acquired Skill.

Both Ruby and Ginseng sat down on the floor, as Frank touched their heads. Ginseng was particularly smaller than Ruby.

Flash!

Suddenly, a spark of light emerged from Frank, of yellow gold essence, flying towards Ruby and Ginseng… this was Frank's soul.

"Is this the first time I see my own soul?" wondered Frank.

Frank's soul flew towards Ruby and Ginseng, as Ruby's soul showed up, being crimson red and blazing like flames, while Ginseng's soul was pale green and serene.

Both of the monster's souls began to entangle together with Frank's soul, until a pact was done, connecting the three souls into one.

Frank felt a strange rush of power enter his soul, as his eyes suddenly turned crimson red like Ruby's, and then green like Ginseng's souls.

After the pact ended, his eyes went back to his aquamarine colors, as Frank sighed in relief.

"It's done…" he said.

Ding!

[You have made a Soul Pact with [Ruby] and [Ginseng]!]

[You can slightly share your power with those you have made a Soul Pact, and the higher the level of the Soul Pact skill, the larger the benefits can be]

"So that's how it is… I cannot really say that I have become stronger. There is still a lot to do, and simply learning the Skills will not do, I have to train them as well and level them up… And that is where my other me enters into place…" said Frank, as he quickly entered into the World's Gate through his Phone, reaching the old and abandoned temple area that was the World's Gate, a strange passage to other worlds.

"I suppose I should train here for convenience sake… and do the Daily Quests too, to get those 20 App Points at the very least," thought Frank, as he quickly created a Hunting Domain, the same as before where the Bats appeared, alongside a Light Clone, which he used to hunt alongside Ruby while practicing his new skills.

-----

"Dark Bullet, Flame Arrows, Ice Spears, Light Ray!" said Frank, as he fired four different attacks charged with four different elements towards an enormous bat, hitting it from all directions.

The powerful attacks were overwhelming for the creature, which shrieked in agony as it had its entire body destroyed.

"Grryyyaaaarrr…!"

The enormous Bat fell into the ground, as it exploded into black smoke, leaving a Magic Crystal and an accessory.

"This should be the seventh… I have gathered a fair amount of items already, and it seems that every Boss, the System rewards me with 30 App Points as well, so I've gotten 230 App Points by including the 20 of the Daily Quests which I did beforehand… Alongside that, there is a large pile of F-Grade Magic Crystals and a few D-Grade ones… I have gotten around five Accessories as well, and three books… Not bad at all, I suppose, I will just save this for now, but I might either sell it for Contribution Points or gift them to the kids in Terra to strengthen them…"

"If I am really planning in exploring a Dungeon in Terra, I will need a party, as I am sure that they're way different than these domains… And because I can only increase my cultivation Rank with Terra's Mana Cores, I will have to explore larger and larger dungeons as I go, a strong party will be surely required for that… And those kids are quite good, and hold strong potential," thought Frank.

"Gryyaaarrr!"

As Frank was thinking, a large bat flew towards him while baring its fangs!

"Water Torrent Palm," said Frank, as his body moved on its own, his arms danced around the air, as torrents of water were generated through the use of his Mana. His palms then pointed towards the bat, as they fell like a large and powerful torrent of water.

BOOM!

"Gyyyaarr…!"

The Bat was overwhelmed and became black smoke in midair, leaving a tiny Magic Crystal behind.

"This is quite easy to use… Is it because it became a Skill? Instead of having to particularly learn how to use it, I can simply activate it as a Skill…" thought Frank, whose Aura was exuding a bright and fiery red presence, which was the combination of his Light Soul and Fire Soul Martial Techniques, alongside his Body Aura and Mana Aura.

"And how's Ruby?" wondered Frank, glancing back at Ruby, who was defeating Bats with ease while being permeated in a yellow gold aura around her, Body Aura, the Skill that Frank had taught to her when the Soul Pact was done, it had ended surprisingly easy, more than he had thought.

And Ginseng on the other side, was still rather small, but it had managed to learn Mana Control and was now conjuring Healing Spells over Ruby, although she did not particularly need them, it was a good practice while it drained the Mana out of the surrounding Bats.

"How long has it been since we started? In here I kind of lose the motion of time- Ah! Ten hours?! I guess that is why I feel a bit sleepy? I should go to Terra and sleep there, I suppose," thought Frank, giving a last glance at his System window, which alerted him of several Skills leveling up.

[The Levels of the [Fire and Burn Resistance: Level 2], [Parallel Thinking: Level 3], [Poison and Toxin Resistance: Level 2], [Concentration: Level 3], [Lesser Self-Regeneration: Level 1], [Herculean Strength: Level 1], [Dirt: Level 3], [Sewing: Level 1], [Sonar Wave: Level 3], [Light Ray: Level 1], [Basic Magic Martial Arts: Level 1], [Monster Soul Pact: Level 1], [Light Soul Martial Technique: Level 1], [Fire Soul Martial Technique: Level 1], [Water Torrent Palm Technique: Level 1], [Poison Synthesis: Level 1], [Flame Arrows: Level 1], [Ice Spears: Level 1], and [Overseeing Light Eye: Level 1] Skills have increased!]

"Hm, leaving my clone doing a ton of stuff helped, it even leveled up the sewing skill because I made it sew simple stuff with my spider thread… Oh, and hitting myself with Flame Arrows and Poison and then healing myself constantly also helped me level up my Resistance Skills, just as I thought… Thanks to Gift of Life, which has pain-reducing effect when healing, it wasn't as insufferable as one would imagine… Ah, although I haven't gotten Light, Dark, nor Ice Resistance yet… I guess I will have to keep hitting myself a bit more later…" said Frank, as he decided to go back to Terra.
