19 Preparations! (1/2)
”An honor to work with you, Michael!” The redheaded Jenkins shook the hand back.
A short silence was followed up after the hands released each other.
Jenkins followed up while starring into the dark gold eyes with a dead serious expression.
”I get it if you have a thing for swinging around, but can't you at least cover up with a little...?”
Michael now saw his naked body. Exposed to the darkness of the tunnel he stood within.
”Ah, just a second haha. Wasn't paying attention.” Speaking out loud, clearly making sure Jenkings could see what was going on.
”System, grow some plating to act as my pants!”
It didn't respond. Only fulfilling the task it was told to finish. Dark blue scales began to cover his lower region. It circled around the top of his hips, covering down to the feet joints. Both flexible and sturdy, it was both impenetrable and visibly appealing. Looking like some old denim's from earth.
Jenkins had a dumbfounded expression as he saw the transformation so smoothly proceed. His thoughts were heard only by himself.
”Uhm..” He muttered, still a little shaken by the scales pants.
”Can you show me your status really quick?”
Michael didn't mind, as they had signed a contract. But even so, he asked a question of his own.
”Yes, of course! Can you also show me your own? And while we are at it, let's discuss the next acions we plan to make. After all, chicken nuggets are best made with two people.”
Jenkings's dumfounded expression was replaced with a touched smile. It made Michael feel a little awkward.
”How do you make your system viewable to other's again? Sorry, it's been a while since I last used it, hehe.” He came up with an excuse for Jenkings to help him.
”Yes, just image it appear in front of you while looking down.” Hurriedly, but understandably explained.

Jenkings had scanned through every single ability and title several times. Always making Michael ask the system for an explanation.
Michael was standing still while the fragnantguy looked over his shoulder. Even though he was covered in blood soaked clothes, hus smell easily covered it.
”Are you done yet? I think you have been starring into it for something close to three minutes..”
Jenkins was shacken awake. His blue eyes darted around the screen once more, but slowly composed themselves.
”Yes. Sorry.” He then stanced himself while starring into Michaels gold eyes.
”Why aren't you saying anything? Was there something in my stat...”
”WHAT THE ACTUAL F***?!” Jenkins started screaming at him, looking noticeably angered and confused. As the echoing scream dimmed down he then continued the rant.
”Reincarnated people usually have some sort of incredible blessing.. But THIS, THIS IS JUST HERESY! Goddamit, who gave you this one?! Was it Hel'nor? No..that guy only works with elementals.. Could be Chayah, however, that crazy woman only cares about wolfs. Ah! Akavish! Although she is a known spider-lover, there is no one other I can currently think of who would make something like this.”
Michael starred at Jenkins while the rationality he had slowly left the thin body. Whispering into the brick roof which was now painted with small cracks from Marss's previous tantrum. He wanted to interrupt him before his brain cracked open, proceeding with stretching his built arm towards the maniac.
”Eh, I don't know any of them. The god which granted me the absorption abilities never gave me a nam..”
Jenkins snapped back to reality, looking into Michaels worried eyes.
”Looks like I spaced out. However, I wasn't referring to the absorption abilities. I was mainly looking at the one named 'Hybrid'. This sort of genetic fusion is really difficult for your average god, as bloodlines hailing from farleng are hard to modify and virtually impossible to perfectly combine like this. I mean, even your energy level went directly to the general layer.”
Jenkins once more drifted towards insanity as he continued.
”Not only can you fuse opposing animal genes perfectly, you also possess the 'Assimilation' ability! Granting you the power to combine the skills gained from the new evolution. You can also mix togheter beasts of the same species togheter! sadly, however, those combined with 'assimilation' will never end up in same heaven defying cathegory as the ones generated by 'Hybrid'. It really only make it easier to keep track of all the integrated bloodlines before you evolve.”
He once more starred into the roof while mumbling..
”If..If you assimilate a phenoix and a duck togheter... No, the phoenix bloodline would overpower it... Then a turkey mabye??”
Michael was once more going to interrupt him, but jumped back as Jenkins started to franticly scream at him. Starting to back away.
”WH..WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! ABSORB ALL THE MONSTERS YOU DEFEATED! I, I need a minute... What about a 'Fresh water Reaper' and a Whalemonger....”
He started to chew on his fingertips. The clipping sounds were heard loud and clearly. Michael figured he would just go back into the black alloyed room as Jenkings regained his mind back.
