(Technical)

On Sight: Allows you to copy the Spring of someone by simply looking at them, as long as you know what it is.

Warped Touch: Enables you to flip the Springs of other people by touching them for 3 seconds.

Spring Absorbtion: Taking the life of a Spring user grants the System a new skill based on the Spring

Memory Flip ++: Every 1 hour, allows you to copy a Spring from your inverse history for 30 minutes

System Take-Over: Buffs your stats and skills based on your level. Shreds through energy at an alarming rate

Hydrokinetic Regeneration: The ability to regenerate using water. Can heal up to 10% health per second, depending on the water level the user is submerged in

Liquid Slots +: Allows the System to store 3 Springs at once, allowing the wielder to switch between the two at will. (This does NOT allow the user to wield both Springs at once like STO, but it does make it so he can change between them individually.)

Third Eye: Lets you use special vision to see if things are being affected by a Spring. Affected items or organisms will be highlighted.

Built Different ++: Allows you to make an object, or yourself, indestructible for 20 seconds. Cooldown is based on the damage it absorbed

Cancel Out: Instead of inverting their Spring by touch, this allows the user to cancel the Spring out entirely, making the affected unable to use it for a period of time. This also stops the use of the inverted Spring by the user, so be careful!

Mystic Skills:

Sharpened Attacks [I]: Attacks have a small chance to ignore armor and buffs gained from Springs afflicted on the opponent. If this effect activates, the enemy\'s defense is also halved [NEW!]

*****************************

Rein closed his menu, regretting that he was forced to remove his artifacts when he fought against the 3 guards as he would\'ve benefitted from the buffs much more, however, he put it behind him as he tried to get some sleep.

As he lay there in bed, he felt his eyelids become heavier, until they were eventually too heavy to keep open, drifting him off into a deep sleep. Once again, he awoke to his unconscious, in a pitch white space. However, it felt different this time. The usual, comfortable and familiar air to his dream world couldn\'t be felt. Instead, all he felt was a heavy burden placed on his shoulders, the atmosphere of the area so crushing he felt as if he was going to suffocate, despite this only being a world in his mind.

It felt so real, more so than his usual chats with Versys. But at the same time, it felt surreal, hazy and white, as if it would fade away into his unconscious even if he blinked. He suddenly saw 3 other people appear in the space, all of them stood in a circle, facing a point in the middle, Rein also being part of the circle.

The beings looked to be 2 women and a man, who were all entranced by something in the center of the world. As Rein inspected their faces further, starting from the woman to his northwest, he felt a sense of familiarity with each of them. It was the same for the woman directly to his north. However, the man to his northeast, he knew him especially.

It was Luther, the same man he had encountered several times before, and the man with similar power to him.

Rein\'s instincts kicked in, his brain telling his body to be ready for battle, his emotions riled up as he saw the man. However, no matter how much his brain told his body to move, it wouldn\'t budge. His face and his body were all fixated on one point, the same place where the other 3 were looking.

Luther\'s face and body, along with the 2 other women, were still, emotionless, entranced by something, which Rein\'s senses were also drawn to. All 4 of them were standing in the white vacuum, waiting for something to happen.

Suddenly, a black fog began to form in the center of the circle formed by the 4, an undefined figure appearing in the center, which seemed to be what the 4 were waiting for. The sound of rugged crackling made its way into the space, the fog rising high, and enveloping the titanium-colored void with a veil of pitch darkness, the undefined figure still present in the center.

"Your fates will soon intertwine…" A raspy, echoing voice suddenly uttered, the gravity of the dream multiplying tenfold as the voice boomed throughout.

"Ready yourselves for what\'s to come… Or you will be veiled by everlasting darkness…"

***********************************

Rein suddenly woke up in a cold sweat, jolting awake as he breathed heavily, his entire body shaking for a reason unbeknownst to him. He looked at his shaking palm with horror, then wiped the sweat off of his forehead as he attempted to calm down.

He had no clue what had just happened. For the life of him, he couldn\'t remember the dream he just had, almost as if there had been a blank in his memory.

After a few minutes of steady breathing, he was able to calm his nerves and emerge from bed, feeling as though a heavy burden had just been placed on his chest, which he couldn\'t shake off no matter how much he tried.

He checked out of the inn and made his way to the second-hand market, where he introduced himself as the replacement for Clyde and Xenia. After surveying the store for a while, and using Third Eye to check any donors who come in to see if their items had been tampered with, he eventually found the culprit....
