Nathan clenched his fists and pressed his face into his arms. He tried to contain the mixed feelings of anger and sadness in his heart. And then, a voice resounded in his ears and washed over him like a river flowing down a parched field. It was a voice he really missed.

Nathan, My dear.
What should I say, Eh…
Even though I'm in such a desperate situation, I'm still not good with words.
What kind of mother am I? Sometimes I wonder if I am a good mother…
How are you doing, honey? I'm sure you will grow into a brave and gentle man. I'm really proud of you.
Are you eating enough? Ruth treated you well, right?
There are many things that I want to tell you. However, I won't be able to do all of them right away.
Mom promised to tell you everything. But it will take time.
Sorry for your Mom's incompetence.
Trust me, your Mom and Dad never wanted this to happen. At least we have done our best to make you live happily and healthily.
Honey. I love you with everything I have, with every beat of my heart and every breath in my lungs.
The one thing I regret the most is being unable to watch you grow into the kind and powerful young man I know you will become. However, even though I cannot see you directly, I know in my heart that you will succeed. And so, I will say this in advance. I am proud of you. I love you so much.
Please accept this great but slightly burdensome gift. Be someone who is on the path of truth. Save those you deem worthy.
Mom will always pray for your good. You will be in our hearts forever.
With love, so much love, your pathetic Mom.

Several minutes, maybe even hours passed, but Nathan kept his face covered, pressing it against the table. Too many things have happened at the same time. He couldn't swallow all of them at once.
"Mom... So all the things I've known so far aren't real?"
He hoped to get a change in his life. But does the change have to be this big?
"Why did I get this system? Why are there two Sins on me?"
The Blessing of the Sins, a broken system, and a significant fact about the death of his parents, which he thought was only a car accident.
With his father's high level, it wouldn't be easy for them to die just from a minor accident. In fact, it was impossible. Their deaths would make more sense if he was facing a high-level entity.
"A high-level Demon. And someone with the power of reality warping is behind all of this... This is no small matter."
After a while, Nathan found himself again. He tried to breathe more calmly and slowly.
He lifted his head and wiped the tears from his face.
"I need to figure out everything. But, first, let me check everything I got here."
The first thing Nathan tried to do was to reconfirm his stats, the most basic thing for a Hunter.
"How do I do that again?" Nathan muttered a word he used to say but which had never done anything before. "Status."
A digital screen containing a lot of information reappeared in front of him.

It took Nathan a few minutes for a smile to return to his face. It was a small smile, considering the enormity of the news he had just received, but a smile nonetheless. "I still can't believe this is all happening." Nathan shook his head. A system finally really appeared to him. Though-
"Blessing by force? Other apostles?"
Regarding apostles, it was certainly related to the ones that had similar blessings in Yunatea.
When he just got his power, he also had to face the fact that he had to be prepared for anything that might threaten him in the future.
"Having two Sins at once is certainly not a small thing. And I don't think what I have to face in the future will be easy either."
Nathan re-analyzed his status page. According to his observations, he had some differences compared to the hunter status he used to know before.
"At a glance, the Status Page I have is similar to that of other Hunters, but there are some differences here."
The Skill Creation System page was the most glaring, which relates to his new power.
Nathan didn't think long and immediately muttered, "Skill Creation System." Then another digital screen appeared before him.

[Available Skill Tiers: 1, 2, 3, and 4]

Nathan tried to read slowly the information that appeared in front of him.
"Too many new things. How am I supposed to learn all of this?"
"The information in this system is quite easy to understand. However, there are still many things that need a more detailed explanation. Are there any guidelines on how to use it? Is there a help menu on the system?"
A streak of light suddenly appeared before him. Nathan jolted back, sending the chair he was sitting on slightly pushed back.
A silvery crescent-shaped light was clearly visible and slowly grew brighter. Then a figure the half size of a human's arm appeared, hovering in front of him.
"Aha... Finally... Hi Master Nathan." she said.
A crescent moon was floating in the air. Sitting on the curvy moon was a little girl with blond hair, wearing a pink dress to her thighs. She looked 10 years old from her appearance.
"Hi, Master Nathan... So glad I finally got to meet you." She smiled warmly and waved.
The girl jumped from her seat, then floated towards Nathan as if treading on an invisible platform.
Nathan gasped in surprise at the sudden appearance of a figure who greeted him.
"Master Nathan?" The girl was taken aback, her expression one of surprise. "Did my sudden appearance startle you?" She said, a slight smile playing on her lips. "I apologize."
Nathan was stunned into silence as he watched the oddity that was a cute little girl on a strange moon appear and talk in front of him.
"Are you... What are you?" Nathan finally said after a few long seconds.
Luna stepped back, smiling. "Sorry, I was so eager I forgot to introduce myself. Hi Master Nathan, my name is Luna. I'm an AI programmed to help you understand the system."
"AI?" Nathan raised his eyebrows, looking perplexed.
Luna laughed softly. "Don't think of me as a human-made AI. I'm an AI embedded in your system," she clarified.
"Ah, I see..." Nathan nodded slowly.
Luna floated close to Nathan's face, smiled, and drifted back again. "I hope I can be of great help to you. Please don't hesitate to ask me anything. I'd love to help." She finished with a big grin.
"Thanks, that's cool." Nathan smiled widely and moved closer to Luna. He attempted to touch her small body, but his finger went right through it as if it were empty air. Luna let out a loud cry and floated away.
"Master Nathan, I apologize for my impoliteness. Would you like to activate my physical mode?" She tilted her head inquisitively.
"No, that's all right, I was just curious earlier, I'm sorry." Nathan replied with a smile.
"And... Hmm, I also possess the capacity to modify my costumes if you are interested." She smirked. "I'm a bit embarrassed, but there's a wedding dress, a sailor costume, a maid costume, and a legendary grade one." Luna shook her head, and her face reddened. "Presenting a feature like this made me a bit anxious."
Nathan smiled and reclined. "Costumes only alter one's appearance. It doesn't provide the user with any extra power, is that correct? I suppose I should postpone buying costumes. I need to concentrate on gaining strength."
"I think I agree." she replied.
Nathan was still fascinated by the magic that appeared before him. But he returned to what he wanted to ask by presenting that AI in front of him.
"Okay, Luna. Let's get back to business. I hope you can help me a lot in the future. Now, tell me the origin of this system and what I must do to use it to its fullest."
"Sure, I hope so." A light appeared and wrapped around the girl's small body. A pair of black-rimmed glasses also appeared on her face. Her platinum blonde hair was neatly tied at the back.
A small whiteboard appeared and floated behind the girl. "This is the most fun thing I want to do. Let me guide you to understand everything about the system."
[Analysis has been completed]
[Applying Transcendent Limit Breaker items]
A digital screen then reappeared, displaying other information.
Luna floated between the glowing green runes that had suddenly appeared before Nathan and said, "It seems my joint session needs to be delayed. Master Nathan, I am sure you can only imagine how wonderful and amazing the things I have in store for you are. Are you ready?"
[1/4 Your power is unstoppable. Nature supports you. All elements bow before you. You have a maximum affinity with the four basic elements: Fire, Earth, Water, and Air]
[Master all these elements and the gates to access advanced-level elements will be opened wide for you.]
"Oh my goodness! This is incredible!" exclaimed Nathan, astonished that he would soon possess an affinity for all four elements.
"It's truly a blessing from God," Luna replied.
[2/4 Nature would love you even more. You would have a better affinity with Nature's Breath. You will receive an extra 20% status point when leveling up.]
[3/4 Increase affinity with the blessing of greed. You will receive skill points when leveling up.]
Luna's lips curved into a smile as she saw the astonishment on Nathan's face. "Master Nathan," she said, "I can assure you, what's coming next will surprise you even more."
[4/4 physical condition will not prevent you from becoming the strongest. Your body will change and bring you to the best condition you can. Your physical prowess, weapon mastery, and body combat will be increased many times over.]
Something seemed to move in Nathan's muscles and body. He gasped in surprise as a feeling of pain then filled his body.
Nathan gritted his teeth and tried to endure the pain.
Energy pressure and a deep sense of freshness started to appear in his body.
Nathan gasped in pain and pleasure, the two conflicting sensations causing him to feel exhilarated.
The process of change occurred miraculously and for quite a long time. Nathan felt mentally exhausted even though his body felt much fitter.
And then, after what seemed like a very, very long time, Nathan was astonished when he felt something different on his… legs?
"Did it happen the way I thought it would? Did it really…"
Luna chuckled. "I'm sure you'll be surprised at what's about to happen. Don't you want to give it a try, Master?"
Nathan held himself up with both hands and tried to move the weight of his body to his legs.
What happened after that was something he didn't expect would happen in his life. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦
"I can use my legs!!!"
