My Angelic System

(AN: I changed the name of the astral ability to cosmic ability. It will still do the same things, but I just thought that cosmic was more fit for what I had in my head.) :)

Kye took some more moments to think, but in the end, he already knew the answer deep inside of him.

"Please, I would like to learn this ability." He said with conviction. "I'm sure that it will be a great ability. And even if it's not, I would make it great."

Aria smiled and then handed the ability orb over to Kye. The latter, the moment he touched it, saw a system screen appear in front of his eyes.

[Ability orb detected]

[Would you like to learn the Cosmic ability?]

Kye got even more excited when he saw that. And without an ounce of hesitation, he agreed to learn the Cosmic ability.

The moment he thought that the orb cracked and let dark energy with what looked like stars inside of it come out. The energy then dances around Kye for a moment before entering his body.

The process shocked Aria and Ras greatly because as far as they knew, never such a thing happened when a human tried to learn an ability. But at this point, they knew and accepted the fact that Kye shouldn't be judged by simple and normal means. So they just shrugged the matter away.

As for Kye, he didn't even react to the energy entering his body since he was busy with the system's alert.

[Cosmic ability is being assimilated into the Host's body]

[10%]

[23%]

[47%]

…

…

[Cosmic ability has been fully assimilated into Host's body]

[Would you like to see a description of the ability?]

Kye accepted immediately once again. He didn't expect to get a description of his new ability, but it could only help him, so without hesitation, he answered yes.

[The outer space is filled with planets, stars, black holes and so much more. And as someone who now possesses the Astral ability, everything will be under your control. The Host can create, shape, and manipulate astral energy to attack, kill, destroy, support, heal, or defend. However, when using this ability, the energy consumption would be great.]

Just as he thought since the moment Aria talked about this ability, the Cosmic ability was amazing. Being able to control what is inside outer space felt grand and extraordinary at the same time. He couldn't help but be excited and wanted to test it right now.

Still, before continuing further, he decided to check his status.

His status didn't change much in a month. It was normal since he only trained. So obviously, the two new lines that were now in his status caught his eye immediately.

He now had a new line showing which ability he had, and how much energy he has as well.

'I guess the only way to get more energy is to train my ability. Though if it's not the case, I don't know what I will do. It was said in the description that the energy consumption was great, so if I can't get more energy, I'm sure that I will hit 0 with only two or three moves.'

As Kye thought, it was the greatest problem that he could currently face with his ability, apart from training it, of course. Without energy, he won't be able to go far with it, even if it was a very strong ability.

'I guess like this it's well balanced. It would have been way too broken if there wasn't such a downside.'

Kye thought.

Aria and Ras let Kye think alone for a while. They didn't want to disturb him when it was clear on his face that he was excited. Even more than a month ago when they announced to him that he would train with them.

Still, after ten minutes of silence, Ras finally decided to speak.

"So? How is it? Do you feel like there are some changes in your body?"

"Yes, I can feel like there's second energy that's flowing inside my body alongside my holy energy now. Although faint compared to my holy energy, it's still there."

Kye had gotten a great grasp of his holy energy, so it was easy for him to see that there was something more inside of him now. Though, he seriously had a poor amount of energy inside of him.

'I guess that I would probably be level 2 now if I had one of the military's watch.'

Kye thought.

The level written on the watches was defined by the amount of energy one had inside their body. So obviously having just so much energy, he wouldn't be at a high level.

Yet.

"That's good," Aria said. "Usually people don't even feel their ability's energy at the beginning. So if you can already feel it, then it only means that your growth will be extraordinary."

"Are you sure? It feels like it will take some time to even get more energy."

Kye expressed his doubt. He couldn't help it since he was quite worried about his energy.

"Yes, trust me in this one," She smiled. "And even if it takes time, that's normal. Why do you think that a lot of humans of your age are still low-level by the military's standard? It's because it takes a lot of time to nurture your energy. Only truly exceptional individual manages to be at a decent level at your age, and I'm sure you will be one of them."

Kye smiled hearing that and thanked her for her insight. Aria was sure bad at teaching, but she knew a lot of things. So Kye could trust what she was saying without a doubt.

"Then what should we do now?" Ras asked.

"What do you mean?" Kye asked back.

"Your training had come to an end, and you now have your ability. However, neither I nor Aria will be of great help to nurture your energy and ability."
