Immortality System: The Last Human's Transmigration

'Holy crap that's amazing!' I stifled my shock while looking at the system message that was informing me about the merge between all 4 of my martial arts.

'Looks like the system is capable of doing more than just strengthen me and revive me. Of course, the revival thing is cool and all, taking a crap ton of energy to make someone such as me immortal, but this is taking it to a whole nother level.' I thought before starting to imagine the capabilities of the system.

'I've only had you for a few weeks but you are already doing things like this.' I mused in excitement, however, the notifications did not end there.

[You have received 1 Basic Dagger Art]

[Arsis: A form of dagger art that supports both dual wielding as well as one-handed wielding. This requires agility, quick-wittedness, and precise movement.]

I once again felt a stream of information enter my brain, yet rather than flowing in like a calm river, this was forcing its way into my mind like water through a broken dam.

After a few seconds of this, the headache eventually subsided and I found myself getting intensely stared at by the snake, scrutinizing me and analyzing every fiber of my being.

Seeing what it was doing, I snorted and began to walk away in the direction of the body.

The snake also stopped looking at me when it saw me walking away, but its eyes eventually narrowed when they reached the body that lay on the ground motionless and just as humongous as before.

"It has some life left in it." The snake informed me, causing me to freeze for a second while also looking at the body. However, unlike the gaze of the snake, my eyes widened while a sweat drop trickled down my forehead and almost entered my eye.

Before I could utter a word, I watched as the snake once again rose itself to a high altitude while absorbing energy into its maw, ready to shoot another beam. However, I simply could not allow that to happen since an idea had struck me the moment another notification had entered my vision.

[You have received the skill Life Drain]

[You have received 2 attribute points to allocate]

[You have received the system skill Inventory/Storage]

[System Leveling has activated. You can now level up and evolve your system over time]

"W-Wait!" I shouted as loud as I could to make sure the snake heard me.

The moment my voice entered the snake's ears, it perked up and looked at me with the energy sphere still within its mouth ready to be shot at any second.

"I want to try something! Then you can kill it!" I shouted once again, but this time the snake simply nodded in understanding but still didn't disperse the energy sphere within its mouth.

This was understandable since there was always a chance that the creature in front of us might go berserk, killing me and possibly injuring the snake in the process depending on how large the multiplier is when it goes into an enraged state.

From what I have seen so far, the enraged multiplier changes depending on the species, the power of the being who had gone enraged, as well as the being's luck.

The enraged state could also last anywhere from 1 minute to 30 minutes depending on their luck too, but having a longer time still came with its own disadvantages. This was because the longer someone or something is in an enraged state, the more detrimental the backlash will be to the specific individual.

However, at that moment, the multiplier and specifics behind the enraged state had been the least of my worries as I wanted to check something else instead.

'Appraisal'

[Appraisal Complete]

[Life Drain: Allows the extraction of someone's life energy/soul energy. This will take 1hp from them per second and will heal the user of the skill by the same amount.

If the hp of the user is full, the energy shall be converted and modified to strengthen the unknown energy. There is also a possibility that the user can obtain stat points when they absorb the core life energy of the other party.

Note: The amount of energy transferred as well as the number of state points given is dependent on the strength of the other party compared to the user.]

After reading the extremely long notification, I walked up to the body that was still alive and touched it with the palm of my hand before closing my eyes.

I tried to find the activation for the skill, however, unlike the appraisal skill, I didn't think I would just be able to say the name of the skill and expect it to work just like that.

As if being guided by something, I felt my consciousness move to a certain part of my body.

Immediately, I felt my mind shake before I found myself in a dark space, one that looked similar to the one I would end up in when I died.

Mild panic overcame me, but I quickly calmed down when I realized that instead of just drifting in the middle of the void, I now had a body and could even walk around as if there was solid ground under me.

I hesitated to take my first step, slightly scared that I might just fall, but after I had taken my first step I quickly took my second, third, and then fourth.

Eventually, I found myself moving through the void and walking in a certain direction almost instinctively. I knew that I was walking there, and I was intentionally moving my legs in that direction. The only question I needed to ask myself was why.

Eventually, after having walked for several minutes I finally found myself in front of something, yet instead of being excited about having found something after such a long walk, I was almost weirded out instead.

My face visibly scrunched while my eyes squinted to take a better look at the thing in front of me, yet I still could not figure out what I was looking at.

In the end, I was forced to use appraisal, just to realize that it wasn't working. None of my system-related things were working meaning I could not pull up the system menu, skill section, arts section, and the two stat boards I had.

Eventually, I extended my hand and tried to touch the thing in front of me.

It seemed to have been a huge red drawing made out of several patterns that interlocked and interjoined with one another almost perfectly. As if they had been made for the sole purpose of being used this way.

It almost looked like a language, and even though I doubted that it would have been a language due to the structure and complexity of the simples and patterns, I still didn't throw the possibility out of the window.

I looked to my right and saw an even bigger version of the patterns in front of me, and while might say that it was just a bigger version, the facts were that these patterns were similar yet different.

However, since the attraction was coming from the one in front of me, I stretched out my hand had touched the pattern. This caused a few words to resound within my mind. It didn't make sense to me, nor could I understand or even repeat what it said. However, that was only the case if I were to simply listen to what it had said.

My eyes widened when a word that I could understand linked itself with the word that had been said in the mysterious language.

"Rune..." I muttered before another few words resounded within my mind.

"Blood... Rune... S... Life... Drain..." I said, trying to repeat after the voice that had entered my mind in some way I could not understand yet, but at that moment it didn't matter.

"Blood runes?" I asked with a raised brow before focusing and saying the other part of the sentence.

"Life drain?"

The runes immediately lit up in front of me before radiating with an insurmountable amount of heat that instantly kicked me out of the void and back into the real world.

When I opened my eyes once again in a panic, I froze while watching several runic patterns move down my hand and into my fingertips before spreading onto the skin of the body I was touching.

The spread was only a few inches, creating nothing but something close to an outline around my hand.

[Life Drain Activated]

[Draining...]

[Hp: 21/100]

[Hp: 33/100]

[Hp: 47/100]

[Hp: 69/100]

[Hp: ...]

I watched as my hp increased by 1 point every second, and while normally I would have been contemplating ways to use this even with its extremely slow absorption rate, at that moment I had been too mesmerized by something else.

Looking down at my arm, I saw how the veins on my hand and forearm had been glowing to a certain extent.

[Hp: 100/100]

I didn't think much of the number in front of me and continued waiting for the creature to die.

For the next 5 minutes, I watched as every cell in my body slowly filled with vigor while at the same time, feeling the red energy within me become more powerful by the second.

After a few minutes, the snake dispersed the energy within its mouth and began looking at the body intently instead.

It could feel that the energy within the body had remained the same the entire time, but for some reason, it still felt like it was getting weaker over time.

Eventually, a screen appeared in front of me, causing me to finally look forward in excitement at what I was about to see.
