Moby stared long and hard at all the abilities in front of him, reading them over and over again to decide which one to choose as he was extremely torn between all of them.

Then, he decided to go on FireWatch, the leading video sharing site at the time in order to see some real-life examples of each skill in action. From the many videos he found and watched about each ability, he was very impressed by all of them. However, he found that 2 of them were more versatile than the other.

However, it made his choices that much easier to narrow. The light ability, "Radiant Soul" seemed to possess the most destructive power out of all of the abilities due to the powerful light lasers but it lacked the versatility of the other 2 abilities. The only versatility he saw in the light ability was enhanced speed and the capability to blind targets. And, from what he saw, the ability was mainly offensive and severely lacked in the defence department.

At first, Moby was interested in the light ability as he thought that it might help him unlock something with his angel's blessing as light and holy sound very similar. However, Avilia explained to him that light and holy have nothing to do with each other as light was nothing more than an element like the rest. However, there was indeed a class of holy magic that was "light holy" magic that Avilia doubted would have anything to do with the "Radiant Soul" ability.

As for the "dimensional shift ability", he was thoroughly impressed more than he expected to be. Users of the ability had daggers and throwing knives that they had imprinted with their abilities prior to the fight as they threw them everywhere on the battlefield allowing them to teleport to any point they desired making it extremely unpredictable and versatile in the right hand. Some even opted to throw their daggers at their enemy before teleporting to their daggers when their opponent dodged allowing them to perform surprise attacks that worked almost every time. They also used the ability to dodge attacks, tactical retreats, as well as to disorient the enemy.

At a glance, the ability was just a worse version of blink but, Moby saw potential in it more than blink ability ever could. Unlike blink, dimensional shift enables the user to cover a much larger distance instead of short bursts of small teleports which makes it even more unpredictable as they would not see it coming. This can also apply to things Moby might have to do in the future. If he killed someone, he could always teleport far away as soon as he confirms the kill in order to have a much lower chance of being caught in the act.

Of course, the school would be aware of his ability and most likely interrogate him as a suspect every time a murder is committed as had a very convenient ability to avoid being caught. However, after being interrogated a few times and showing up as truthful for all of them they would no longer have any reasons of suspecting him which would make the school go absolutely crazy trying to figure out what was happening.

The ability would also be good for infiltration and setting up traps. If the user sets a mark on someone they would be able to teleport to them at will as long as they have enough mana and as long as the mark is still active. For trapping, all that he needed to do was lure an enemy to an area where he had a mark placed allowing him to teleport and sneak attack them without suspecting a thing before quickly storing the body and teleporting out. As for infiltration, he would be able to send a dummy into a building before teleporting inside for easy access.

The one thing Moby was unsure of and did not know was if the ability allowed the user to teleport other people and objects with him, or have the ability to teleport objects or people without him. No matter how much he looked, he could not find anything that gave him a concrete answer.

Heart of Ice, the final and cheapest ability was one that Moby really liked and found very versatile. When he was watching videos, he saw people employ many techniques such as creating ice weapon sending them towards their opponent, a trail of ice spikes, balls of ice, using ice steps for more verticality, ice shields for defence, and many, many more.

From what he had seen, the users of the ability were not able to control the water inside a person's body to freeze them from the inside out. But, they were still able to freeze them from the outside if they get stuck in an attack or if the user made direct physical contact with their body or stabbed right into them with their blade. Some even froze the area around them to give them the terrain advantage against their opponents who were sometimes helpless against it.

Also, no matter how hard he looked he was not able to find a single video showing someone with the "Heart of Ice" ability be able to control or create water in a state that was not ice. This made Moby think that either that use of the ability was super weak and not very viable on battle or that it is so rare and hard to do that only 1 or 2 people in the world could do it. Or, it might have been that the families that own the ability do not want many videos spreading around that might help show weaknesses in their abilities.

For Moby, it was extremely hard to choose between the heart of ice and dimensional shift abilities as they both definitely had their uses, strengths, and weaknesses.

Abby suggested "Heart of Ice" for it's more well rounded and destructive nature while Jayden suggested to go with "Dimensional Shift" for its versatility in and out of battle.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novel35.COM website.

However, in the end, Moby went with "Heart of Ice" for it's greater destructive power, potential, and versatility in battle. He also wondered that if with enough practice, he would be able to fly by creating ice wings or by surfing on a block of ice that he controlled to float with his ability. Plus, it had many less glaring weaknesses than the other abilities, including dimensional shift.

With only 5 teleportation markers to start out with, it would be extremely easy to predict exactly where the user would teleport making the ability its user's worst nightmare if they have no idea what they were doing. Also, "Dimensional Shift" did not seem suited for a sword user like Moby and required a more fast and agile weapon like a dagger in order to better catch their enemy off guard. Although Moby is proficient in almost every type of weapon, his true skills and mastery laid in the sword which was something he continued wanting to use.

"Add to cart… and… purchase!" Moby said with a smile, leaning back on his chair to wait for his order to arrive on the teleport pad.

"I still think that you should have gone with the other ability but in the end, they were all good choices so you could not go wrong with any of them," Jayden explained.

"Yes, you are right. To be honest, I am still extremely conflicted. I wish I could have chosen both of them but that is sadly not possible. But, I just feel like I am choosing the best thing that would fit with my fighting style as I feel like "Dimensional Shift" is more suited for people who use daggers, just like you. Plus, I now have an extra 30 million dollars that I did not spend out of my budget like I would have with the other 2 abilities so that's a big positive right?" Moby answered with a light-hearted chuckle.

"Yes my lord! I believe that you have chosen well!" Abby cheered with a smile on her face as her lord followed one of the first suggestions that she had ever provided him.

Then, all of a sudden, the teleport pad began glowing a bright white glow before a medium-sized glowing icy blue crystal appeared on top of it with a paper to its side which was probably the fake license that comes provided with it.

Just looking at the ability crystal made Moby more excited than ever before. He had been waiting for a very long time for this. No longer would he be the only person in his group that lacked an ability. Plus, now he would have a completely new pool of energy that would help him dish out more attacks and from what he knew and seen, abilities provide an immense power boost to the user, not just in the form of a superpower but with a physically stronger body as well.

Moby focused his attention on the magnificent icy-blue crystal, slowly picking it up before closing his eyes trying to absorb it into his body.

Not even 10 seconds later, the ability crystal completely disappeared from his hand and vanished into thin air as it was completely absorbed by Moby who was once holding it.

As the ability was being absorbed into Moby's body, he felt a rush of immense power slowly enter his system making him feel like he was a person high on a mountain of sugar that felt like he could obliterate mountains in a single punch. He felt the mana from the crystal enter his veins and infuse into his blood which felt very soothing as he became one with the essence of cold.

'Damn… that was much easier than I expected… Definitely 1,000,000 times better than demon evolution that's for sure…' Moby thought, waiting for the inevitable barrage of notifications to appear.
