"There’s a new attribute?" Liam muttered to himself, surprised.

Curious, he decided to ask the system.

System, what’s with the new attribute and what does it represent?

[Constitution represents your overall physical health, resilience, and vitality. A higher Constitution improves endurance, recovery, resistance to disease and toxins, and can extend your lifespan.]

I see... So, how many years do I have with my 22 Constitution Points?

[220 years. 1 point represent 10 years.]

220 years?! That’s.... insane!!! I can live twice as old as everyone!

Liam’s eyes lit up at the thought of being able to live twice as much as everyone else, but his mood quickly dropped the next moment.

Living twice as long. It was somewhat similar to immortality. It was something that some people wish for but Liam understood that it wasn’t exactly as beautiful as it’s portrayed to be. Also, spending immortality on such a boring planet as Earth would be nothing short of torture for the person.

But Liam can overcome the excruciating boredom of Earth by building a spaceship and go exploring the universe.

It would be fun, he thought as his mood brightened once more.

But it would also need a lot of work. Still, it’s a challenge in willing to take and an adventure I’m willing to embark on.

As for how he got twice the lifespan of other humans? Even without asking, he knew that it was because of the enhancement.

Liam turned his attention back to the system. He felt that there was something that he was missing.

System, anything else I should know?

[Yes, host. Due to the fact that your body has been enhanced at the molecular level and due to the nanites in your body, you can now acquire other traits and make it yours.]

Liam blinked in confusion when he heard this.

Acquire and make other traits mine? What do you mean by that, system?

[It’s exactly as you heard. Let me explain further. The nanites has perfected everything about your body and brought up, and past its biological limits. You can achieve things that even the most enhanced human or lifeform in your universe can’t achieve.]

Universe? Lifeform? System, let’s slow down a little. Please explain further and slowly.

[It’s just as I said, Host. You don’t know this but the items in the store are influenced by your universe’s rule.]

Ummm... Why do I feel like things are getting more complicated all of a sudden?, Liam thought as he scratched his head.

[Let me explain in simple words, Host. The items that can appear in the store are governed by the laws of the universe you’re currently in. If you go to other universe, the store will have more diverse items.]

Liam suddenly thought of something when the system said that. He understood what it just said correctly.

Does that mean that I can go to other worlds or universe? Like magic and cultivation worlds?

[Yes, Host.]

Wow!... But isn’t this too early? I mean it hasn’t been a week since everything...

[You can’t travel to other worlds now. You will need to unlock the function.]

I see... How many more function do I need to unlock before unlocking it?

[One.]

That’s good to hear. I can’t wait. Now, please tell me more about the things I can achieve that other lifeforms can’t achieve.

[With your body having been enhanced at the molecular level and due to the nanites in your body, you can now in a prime state and can now accept the traits of other creatures, and make it yours, giving you abilities that shouldn’t be biologically possible.]

Liam closed his eyes, trying to process what the system just said.

Giving me abilities that shouldn’t be biologically impossible... Does that mean that I can gain abilities like flight?

[Yes, Host. You can have the nanites extract the genome and bio-information of flight-capable birds, infuse them into your DNA, allowing you to grow wings and fly. You can also extract the genome bio-information of other animals like cheetah to give you speed; eagle to give you sharper vision; electric eels for generating electricity and other creatures for regenerative ability; cellular immortality. Any unique ability of any creature, you can acquire it.]

Holy shit!!! What the fuck?!!!

For a long moment, Liam just sat there, frozen. The words hung in his head like a detonation in slow motion.

You can now accept the traits of other creatures, and make it yours.

He blinked a few times, his pulse picking up.

Wait... wait, wait, wait. You’re telling me—, He broke off, shaking his head like the act might somehow make the statement sound less insane.

No, I need to hear that again in my own words.

So you’re saying I can literally... what? Steal abilities from other living things? Merge them into my own biology?

[Correct, Host.]

He leaned back into the chair, a sharp laugh slipping out — not because it was funny, but because his brain was refusing to process how absurd this was.

The gears in his mind spun faster. He knew enough basic biology to realize the sheer scale of what the system was describing.

In real science, genetic engineering had limits — immense limits. You couldn’t just take a random trait from an animal, splice it into a human genome, and expect it to work. Even with CRISPR or nanotechnology, there were compatibility issues, gene expression problems, immune responses...

And here the system was, casually saying, Yeah, you can take the echolocation of a bat, the muscle density of a gorilla, and the venom glands of a king cobra, and you’ll be fine.

The nanites were the key.

They weren’t just "in" his body — they were his body now, integrated into every tissue, every cell. They could rewrite the blueprint of his DNA on the fly, not in a lab over decades, but instantly. They could reweave proteins, rebuild organs, and restructure muscle fibers in ways that no natural biology could ever tolerate.

It wasn’t adaptation — it was controlled evolution. And Liam was the one with the controls.

He rubbed his hands over his face, exhaling slowly.

This is... I mean... where do I even start?

The most obvious applications popped into his mind immediately:

Predator abilities: He could take the claws and night vision of big cats, the smell sensitivity of a bloodhound, the speed of a cheetah, the raw power of a tiger.

Marine adaptations: The hydrodynamic body traits of dolphins, the pressure resistance of deep-sea creatures. He could dive to depths submarines feared.

Avian traits: Hollow, reinforced bones and massive flight muscles from birds of prey, fused with his already superhuman frame — the ability to actually fly.

That alone was already enough to make him a living impossibility. But then his mind kept going.

What about regenerative abilities? Starfish could regrow limbs. Salamanders could rebuild entire organs. Certain jellyfish could revert their cells to a youthful state — biological immortality in nature. If the nanites could take that and merge it with his own biology...

He wouldn’t just heal fast. He might not be able to die at all unless someone vaporized him completely.

And then there was electricity. He thought of electric eels generating hundreds of volts, or the bioluminescence of deep-sea organisms, the stealth camouflage of cuttlefish. He could weave that into his own body and walk into a pitch-black room invisible and glowing with his own private power grid.

His heart was pounding now. The scope of it was insane.

"System," he muttered slowly, "there’s... no limit to this?"

[Only one, Host: The target trait must be naturally occurring in the lifeform’s biology.]

That stopped him for a moment.

So no fire-breathing dragons — He paused mid-thought, realizing something. Wait... unless they actually exist somewhere.

[Correct, Host.]
