Universal Power System

Chapter 211 DARE DEVIL

?

Mako was very intrigued by the name of the new title and quickly proceeded to select the information tab next to it to get more Info.

[DARE DEVIL (LEVEL 1)] ?

[By constantly challenging oneself, and aiming to reach a greater and greater height, a person is bound to shatter their limits and grow exponentially. Shattering their past limits is a quality that the user has become quite used to and with the constant urge to better themself to reach a greater level of power, the user has unlocked this title.

DARE DEVIL is an upgradable active title that has to be activated manually. If the user finds themself in a risky situation where their current strength might not be sufficient to deal with the problem at hand, DARE DEVIL can be activated.

Once DARE DEVIL is activated, the user has to pay a fine in order for the effects to be applied to the user. Once the fine is paid, the user gains substantial boosts to the user providing them with the power to overpower their opponents. The fine that is paid will be permanent; however, the boosts provided will be temporary.

DARE DEVIL (LEVEL 1): Once Dare Devil has been activated, the trade-off has to be completed and the user cannot back out. Currently, Dare Devil is at Level One, and it offers the following trades:

500,000 EXP --> (30) Temporary Attribute points ?

250,000 EXP --> 10% Omni Boost ?

750,000 EXP --> (1) Basic Full Heal ?

1,000,000 EXP --> (1) Full Rage Bar ?

500,000 EXP --> (2) Random Temporary Ability Skills ?

DARE DEVIL deactivates once the trade-off has been completed. After the trade has been completed, DARE DEVIL can not be activated for 30 days.

Dare Devil can be upgraded all the way to Level 3 which grants the user more and better trades.

Upgrade Requirements: Achieve 5 more outstanding achievements.

NOTE: Dare Devil can not be activated if the user doesn't have enough free EXP to at least choose one of the 5 trades available.]

Mako was at a loss for words for the insane title that he had just received. Just like PERSERVERANCE, the new DARE DEVIL title had a major positive, but also a major negative.

It was basically the system providing him another backup; however, this one he had full control over. It was essentially burning his free EXP to provide him temporary boosts against an opponent or enemy.

Mako was a bit curious about some of the trades and how some of them would be applied to him temporarily so he decided to select the information and learn about all of them.

[(30) Temporary Attribute Points] ?

[Once the trade has been made, the user will receive 30 temporary attribute points that they can allocate to their stats exactly as regular attribute points. The duration of temporary attribute points is 3 hours after which they will be removed from the stats applied. The temporary attribute points bypass the level cap on attributes and can be applied even if the attribute is maxed out with respect to the user's current level]

[10% Omni Boost] ?

[Once the Trade has been made, the user will receive a 10% Omni Boost. An Omni boost temporarily increases all the user's current attributes by a certain percentage. Omni Boosts last for a small amount of time and will be removed after 1 hour]

[(1) Basic Full Heal] ?

[Once the Trade has been made, the user will receive a Basic Full Heal. A Basic Full Heal essentially makes it so that all physical damage up to 500 HP on the user's body is instantly healed, and the user receives a +200% boost in health and mana regeneration for the next 30 minutes.]

[(1) Full Rage Bar] ?

[Once the Trade has been made, the user's rage meter would be filled up 100%. The user can activate Rage Mode normally; however, since PERSERVERANCE wasn't activated, it can still be activated after the duration of the first Rage Mode has elapsed. The user will still suffer from the "Exhaustion" status effect, but only for the next 5 minutes instead of 10]

[(2) Random Temporary Ability Skills] ?I think you should take a look at

[Once the Trade has been made, the user will receive 2 random temporary ability skills. The skills provided would be based on the abilities that the user can use and their tier would be capped according to the user's current level and strength. The random ability skills will have a 50% reduction in energy cost, but will be removed from the user's skills tab after 1 hour]

Every single trade was very unique and helpful that could help Mako out in many different situations. DARE DEVIL was a unique title that could help Mako essentially get out of any situation as long as he had free EXP stored up.

EXP was a major issue for Mako currently as to move up the final Level 15, would require him 8 Million EXP and he was extremely far away from reaching that currently if he was to burn his EXP for a temporary boost, it would have to be worth it cause it would require him to grind a whole lot more to reach that point again.

However, with that said, Mako was really excited to add such an amazing and versatile tool in his belt which would surely help him get out of dangerous situations in the future.

After Mako had thoroughly studied the workings and uses of his new Title, he still decided to keep PERSEVERANCE as the active title because he didn't even have much EXP to freely buy any of the trades and it would be a waste for him to keep DARE DEVIL as the active title as it wouldn't do anything for him currently.

Mako decided to keep the passive PERSEVERANCE title active as it would passively prompt him to activate once the conditions were met, and if he was ever in need of the DARE DEVIL title, switching it over will only take a second.

There were only a few more notifications left and these were the ones that he just received as he was learning about the Deep Slumber mechanic.

*DING!*

[Hidden Quest Complete]

[Experience and Explore the working of DEEP SLUMBER]

[Reward: +25,000 EXP, New Video Message]

[New Video Message] ?

[Video Log #003390 Playing]

The video started off by showing a bit of static and instability like usual making Mako a bit sick in the stomach. However, soon the video gradually stabilized again and the colors became more vibrant and sharp.

The background was the exact Lab, and this time there were several people sitting in front of giant holographic monitors displaying what looked to be extremely complex programming software.

The software wasn't complete as new lines of code were constantly being added at the bottom of the screen, showing that it was still in development.

The camera angle moved up, indicating that the camera was being adjusted and suddenly the zoom on the camera got reduced, widening the entire scene now Mako could see the entire lab with tens of people in white lab coats working on different components.

The camera quickly focused itself and the entire background became blurred as a single chair came into focus right in front of the camera. A person walked around towards the chair and took a seat facing the camera.

This person had dark green hair just like Mako and a face void of wrinkles. He looked rather handsome with a strong and sharp jawline and beautiful blue eyes.

This was Mako's great-grandfather, Lionel Grey.

"This is video log number 3390, the final update on the perfection and installment of the Emergency Recovery Backup System. This video log is to update the World Leader on the new discoveries we have made with the data he has provided and the finalization of the Deep Slumber mechanic inside the Universal Power System." Lionel Grey spoke in the same tired manner as before as if he hadn't slept in days.

It was great for Mako to see his great-grandfather again, especially in his youth working on the exact device that he was now using to progress through the ranks and become stronger.

"We are grateful for all the data that the World Leader has provided us. We had hit a massive roadblock while researching and developing an emergency backup system; however, after learning the properties of the vampire blood and how they achieve immortality through eternal slumber, we have finally made progress." Lionel Grey announced with a huge smile on his face.

"Using the vampire blood as a model to base on, we were able to develop a synthetic serum that would replicate the same effects as the vampire's eternal slumber and could be applied to humans. The effects of the serum are almost identical to vampire blood where the person would fall into slumber once the body had received significant damage and so the body can use all available resources to help speed up the healing process," Lionel Grey started explaining.

However, Mako stopped the video there as this was something he had never imagined learning from the video recordings of the past.

"What!? Vampires?" Mako said in a state of disbelief and shock.
