Nice as I believed the trait would be the price stung a little if I'm being ho. Twenty K for a trait was not cheap and likely never would be. That didn't even take into sideration that traits might get more expensive iure as I got stronger. Right now my body was sorta like a bnk ste with plenty of room for improvement and upgrade. But eventually it would get covered in traits and the price it would e to add raits would as a result increase.-
Higher graded traits ore because they impacted more and took up more "room" in my body. It should be remembered that the price I pay to get traits is determined by how much lifeforce my body o add them and the spent lifeforce is a used to sort of preload this process into the trait rather than truly disappearing. Knowing this I had been making sure not to take too many stacks of any particur trait lest I made the prices start growing out of trol. Some traits were wrabbing as many stacks as possible in like [Energy proje] but eve wasly a on trait and so I only had the two copies ied.-
[Active camoufge] wasn't one of these kinds of traits as I estimated that after the third copy I'd be basically invisible whenever I flipped it on so long as I was naked. Yeah slight dowhere as the trait being a part of my body didend to my clothes or rather would need some special usage to do so. My powers were the tits a me mix and match traits like fug legos so I could get some traits to act differently than normal with the right binations.-
In this case applying [Active camoufge] to [Energy proje] should in theory allow me to create a small area around myself that was invisible as well, probably. Bioengineering stealth aside I left the now ash corpse behind and tinued walking through the forest. As it turned out [Morak] were territorial as shit so I hadn't found another even hours ter. I had found some new creatures during this time but they were all Grog shit useless for traits. I either already had the traits being offered or they came with big downsides.-
For example there was this orait called [suicide](yeah seriously) that let the creature off itself if it wao. I uand the idea behind WHY something would have such a trait as sometimes death is preferable to suffering but to have a built in night night switch was off putting as hell. Thankfully the odd mouse creature didn't ide pill itself when I caught it si hadn't been hurt but it was still fug crazy to find. I should also make it clear that by the end of the day I was miles away from the monastery.-
I set up my house and ate a nice dinner befrabbing an hour of training in the sim room and feeding my monster egg some lifeforbsp;
'For my rick I'm going to disappear!' I thought with a chuckle as I stripped and nudged my [active camoufge] trait to ie. I immediately felt a burniion like a billion fire ants going to town on me all over my body. I couldn't be bmed for scratg at my skin at that point as I developed a whole new set of o trol my new color ging skin.-
The disfort like usual didn't st long but the phantom itch was real as I had this psychological urge to scrat itch that I was certain didn't actually exist. As for funality this rait wasn't quite what I had expected as while it could indeed let me ge color and even alter the color of a small area around me for a short period with [energy proje] it worked based on my sight. Now I had some damn good vision thanks to my traits but not even I could see behind me, in other words this trait was not as great as I thought it would be. Still useful but like situationally useful rather than invisibility that as fuck.-
Everyone seems to fail to realize that true invisibility meant that if used correctly you were untouchable. People fet just how much we rely on our sense of vision until it's taken from us so when fronted by something that bypasses that seirely, well I hear hell's his time of year. Now I'm not saying this is an absolute case as instincts and the other senses py a part in surviving against su attack but not many have those at the level that bees possible in.-
Anyway I was disappointed irait and after sending my clothes through the er went to sleep in a bad mood. I was feelier when I woke up and got dressed before heading back outside my house and putting the pce away. I ended up walking ahree hours before I came across a new biome that held new possible traits. In this case it was a whole ass mountain plete with rocks, rocks and you guessed it, more rocks.-
There was a bunoss and some shrubbery as well but that was more or less it as far as pntlife went. I used my hands as well as my feet to climb up the steep sides of the mountain and was rewarded for my effort.
{Athenian Rock lizard
Lifeforce: 843
Traits: [Keen nose-on grade]- 500 units, [Effit lungs-Rare grade]- 5000 units, [Frail form-Trash grade]- 50 units, [Hard skin-on grade]- 500 units}
Ign the zy naming sehe small stone colored reptile with six legs had a really good trait that I was gd to grab si solved a problem I'd have much ter.
[Effit lungs] basically allowed this high altitude reptile to absorb far more oxygen with each breath it took. That didn't SOUND all that impressive at first g what I had taken into at was that my body would likely require more and more resources the stro got and that included oxygen. Being able to get more of it with each breath I took was a damn good thing to have as a result. Plus it meant that I could hold my breath for way longer so long as I remaiill since I'd have much more oxygen than normal.-
I grabbed that trait and moved on leaving the lizard fused but still alive sihere was no reason to kill it. As I got higher and higher up the mountain it got colder and colder but to my surprise I discovered a cave with snow packed into the entrance over time into a thin yer of ice. I actally discovered it when I reached for a jutting piece of rod it slipped out and smashed the snow covered sheet of ice. The inside of the cave was much warmer thaside but what really ied me was the preserved corpse at the back.-
It was a strange humanoid thing with two arms and two legs but the proportions were all wrong. The limbs were long and thin and the body was narrow and slehe ehing also had on a metallic armor on that had been clearly cleaved through with some form of the ter of the chest piece. The corpse was little more than a mummy that had long since lost all lifeford traits and may even have turo dust already if not for the perfect ditions the cave provide for it.-
"Oh now theres something I hadn't expected to find." I said with a wide grin splitting my face as I id my eyes on the object resting quietly in the four fingered hand of the corpse, a vault key.
[henas vault key
Description: A strange Eridian object with the power to open the vault on Athenas.]
The key itself was made of the same impossibly tough material as the oting in my house right now but the shape was very different. This key looked almost like a staff in design as it ole prised of three pieces and covered in curving marks and symburly favored by Eridians.-
I walked over to the corpse and exami before taking the key from it's long dead hands.
"No blood trail and the darkeoh this corpse is too small, you teleported to this pce didn't you?" I muttered fused as I could see no te this thing at all much less a teleporter device.
After taking the key with a "CRACK!" that came from the broken bones holding it I didn't hesitate to defile the corpse by stripping the metal armor off of it so I could study it. I remember that annoying time on Baal 3 where I took apart one of those seraphs only to discover that their internal meisms defied all logic. It wouldn't be a stretch to think that this corpse that I had suspis of being an Eridian could have simir te it. Don't think I wao spare the corpse either as if it really was an Eridian even if it was mummified it was worth a fortuhe problem however was that ah a brain would notice that the corpse had something on it that had been removed and naturally assume I as the finder and seller took whatever it was, which was totally fug true in this case.-
"Tough luck I guess, looks like you get to rest here until someone else finds you if ever." I said to the corpse before heading back out the cave.
I scaled the mountain to it's peak and after taking a shit on it went down the opposite side. I came across three more rock lizards on the way day as well as a roake that cked any traits I really wanted. I grabbed all three copies of [Effit lungs] which gave me four total with two of those going to me and the other two to my monster egg.-
Holy speaking Athenas wasn't that great in terms of traits for me to grab. It was too peaceful and orderly for that. The ecosystem here hadn't had the o create viciously powerful lifeforms or unusual adaptations and so most of what I could find would be pretty on. I don't mean grade wise but in terms of actual rarity iural world. Blending with the surroundings and having adaptations for ones enviro are to be expected.
