The sun had risen.
[SYSTEM GHOST EQUIPPED]
Carter transford back into the faceless man. He quickly created another identity. A man in a black hood so dark you couldn’t even see his face.
He sat beneath a tree with no graves around, admiring the destruction he had caused.
With the Terror Skin, robbing these graves wasn’t hard. He robbed the entire cetery and had finished just in ti for the sun to rise.
’Let see how much I got.’
[Total Skin Shards]:
- 8 Minor Terror Skin Shards (Awaken)
- 9 dium Terror Skin Shards (Awaken)
- 2 Major Terror Skin Shards (Awaken)
- 2 Minor Cyber Slave Skin Shards (Mortal)
- 191 Minor Human Skin Shards (Mortal)
- 89 dium Human Skin Shards (Mortal)
- 47 Major Human Skin Shards (Mortal)
’327 graves... Shit. I might have overdone it. Let’s forge so first.’
The Skin Forge window appeared. The hamr was hot and ready to forge.
[-10 Minor Human Skin Shards (Mortal)]
[Please design your skin]
’Huh? What is this? Why is this only the case for human skin?’
A new window popped up. This window was a skin customization tool. Carter could decide the gender of the skin, its skin color, appearance, face, hair color, and many more. All aspects that made a human could be adjusted.
And there were more.
Carter could decide its Skills as well.
’How the hell...’
[Human Skill List]: (Any skin can pick three) Athleticism; Charisma, Perception, Intelligence, Physical Fortitude, ntal Fortitude.
’There are skills. But why isn’t there any option to pick Ability?’
And as if the Skin System heard him, it responded.
[Ability will be randomized based on the chosen skill sets and appearance]
’So basically gambling, huh? Well I got 300 human skin shards. I have lots of chips to gamble. Let’s play.’
For the first skin, Carter basically made himself again. Its appearance was exactly like him.
For skills, he fancied himself with high Charisma because of his acting and performance skill. Then he picked intelligence because an actor needed a brain to learn his lines. Then finally, Carter picked ntal Fortitude.
He was jacked in past life because of his training habit. But he had no talent in fighting or sport at all. So he would say he had more ntal Fortitude than Athleticism or Physical Fortitude.
Carter couldn’t pick the level of the skills or the Star Level of the skins. Everything was randomized.
The hamr struck the skin shards and a new human skin was forged.
[Please na your new skin]
Carter, of course, put in his na.
[Carter Hayes Acquired]
[Carter Hayes]
[Rank]: Mortal
[Star Level]: 2
[Ability]: Adrenaline (Mortal); True Psychopathy (Unique).
- Adrenaline (Mortal): In a mont of pressure, your body may accomplish feats that normally would be impossible.
- True Psychopathy (Unique): You are dissociative from reality. You have no empathy, share no real connections, fear nothing, and would only care for one thing that you obsess about.
[Skill]: Level 10 Charisma (Mortal); Level 7 Intelligence (Mortal); Level 10 ntal Fortitude (Mortal).
[Item]: None
[Synchronization]: 100%
’100% Synchronization... Is this just... ?’
He had to take a test.
[CARTER HAYES EQUIPPED]
It was him. He knew it the mont he got the skin on him.
Carter looked at his palm. It had the scars that shouldn’t be there. Because he didn’t put them there. But the System knew.
It was a similar situation with the Wolfman. It wasn’t just creating sothing new. It took sothing that already existed and turned it into a skin.
[Adrenaline has been added]
[Level 10 Charisma (Mortal) has been added]
[Level 7 Intelligence (Mortal) has been added]
[Level 10 ntal Fortitude (Mortal) has been added]
This skin was also different. The Skin System took everything from it and gave it to Carter. So skills that he didn’t even have originally.
It gave him an idea.
’What if I make another Carter Hayes. But this ti, with a different set of skills?’
[-10 Minor Human Skin Shards (Mortal)]
[Please design your skin]
Carter made quick work of the second skin.
[Please na your skin]
[Carter No.2 acquired]
This Carter Hayes was larger, more muscular. And Carter gave it the Athleticism, Physical Fortitude and ntal Fortitude.
Carter No.2 didn’t have True Psychopathy. It received a very ordinary second Ability called Fast tabolism.
- Fast tabolism: You heal a little quicker than normal humans but require more food.
The Skill Set was also nothing out of the ordinary. They were all low level like usual Minor Skins, not like the Carter Hayes skin.
[Skill]: Level 4 Athleticism (Mortal); Level 3 Physical Fortitude (Mortal); Level 1 ntal Fortitude (Mortal).
’Weird. I can’t recreate what happened before... Additionally, the second ability is also very useless.’
Fast tabolism wasn’t supernatural healing recovery. It was simply a quicker healing ti. A wound that took the average human five days to heal might only need four days for Carter No.2.
Carter didn’t give up. He continues to experint. This ti he modeled him after a scientist with large spiky white hair and a skinny body. It was similar to Dr. Avaline, one of the three leaders that Carter t but with Carter’s face instead.
[-10 Minor Human Skin Shards (Mortal)]
[Carter No.3 Acquired]
This ti, the secondary ability was Advanced Cognition, which gave the skin a better mory and overall easier way to process information. But it wasn’t anything impressive either. Just an ability for a smart human. The skills were also very ordinary.
’Eh. Not as good as I hoped. Maybe I got lucky the first ti.’
Then Carter tried to fuse the three human skins. The three skins could be fused together despite they weren’t exact copies like last ti.
’An advantage for being human, perhaps? We are all alike? Haha!’
[Carter Hayes is lost]
[Carter No.2 is lost]
[Carter No.3 is lost]

’A new skill is born! But I already have it as a higher rank so the system didn’t add it. I wonder if I can get myself straight to Elite rank?’
Carter imdiately tried his hypothesis.
