5 Adapting

'Reaching level 50 in a month huh…" Adrian thought

"Oracle how much would I need to level up"

{In order to level up from level 1 to level 2 you would need a total of 100 xp, to get from level 2 to 3 it would require 150 xp and then you would need 200 xp to get to level 4 and the pattern continues.

'It doesn't seem that bad I guess'

"Ok then how much do would the hardest boss at my current level drop"

{At the beginning phases, the hardest current boss you would be able to face is a troll, which on average drop about 5 xp. The xp drop is not consistent in fighting mobs here}

"Damn that means it wasn't as easy as I thought"

"…Well then, where exactly are we???"

{For your starting area, you have woken up in Knoll-wood forest, home to a variety of creatures, I am unable to go into the specifics due to my system being programmed to explain more as you discover your surroundings, but think of this section of the woods as your typical fantasy-world woods and try to think of what you can find}

"Well your typical monsters like trolls, goblins, ogres… wait will there be animals like unicorns and dragons and even elves?!?!?" Adrian exclaimed

{....I can just confirm that there are such creatures, but you have to be a higher level and in more dangerous territory to meet such individuals/creatures}

"Alright Alright I understand, at least I have something to aim for at the moment.

However, a sudden announcement was heard through the system:

[Attention all contestants, the world of Bleach was discovered by contestant codename SilverSword, I repeat the world of Bleach was discovered by the contestant codename SilverSword]

'Wha..wha….WHAT THE HELL, there is actually anime worlds in this, damn I need to get things done quicker.

"Oracle how did someone gain access to the world of Bleach, and more importantly one can I go??"

{The worlds of anime like Bleach are all located in hidden missions here on this world or you can call it the main hub for all the contestants. This world is approximately the size of three Jupiters from your world, and so you have to explore and find these hidden Easter eggs and missions in order to gain access to these worlds}

{The first individual to gain access to the world of Bleach was probably lucky and stumbled upon it as this early it is unlikely for many people to join such worlds that would bring them benefits.}

"I would to aim to try and find one but at this point I think it is better to focus on what's here instead. If I do stumble upon it, I'll figure something out at that moment."

'Before I get into the mission, let me figure out how to use my equipment so far'

Mentally calling the Biomnitrix to appear, the gauntlets suddenly form on his two arms as a green shine appeared in the process.

Looking at the gauntlets in his arms, he decides to play around with it and as he touches them, as if it were a hologram, many options appear from the gauntlets. Deciding to view the aliens he has right now, he randomly selects one of them. In selecting one of them a suddenly green flash of light appeared and dies down. There stood Adrian standing as if nothing happened, but that was until he decides to take a deep breath, and frost particles start to appear. As he realized his breath, a sudden burst of cold-freezing air emerged freezing his surroundings.

"Cryokinesis from the Necrofriggian (Big Chill) is definitely overpowered."

Deciding to try out the transformation, I tap the gauntlet on my right arm and a green flash of light appears again. As it died down, what appeared to be in Adrian's place was now a blue humanoid moth with large wings and sharp claws

"This is definitely interesting", said Adrian/Big Chill in a now deep husky voice.

My wings start flapping as a fly into the air as I use intangibility to go through the trees, but as I hear rustling from the nearby trees, I quickly land and undo my transformation hoping no one saw me in my Alien form.

'For now I am fine showing off my powers, but if people see me in my alien form this early on, it'll just be a target in my back.'

Looking for what made the noise, I look through the bushes and see 3 goblins roaming the area hold make-shift spears in each hand. They were ugly, green looking creatures that had sharp claws and overcrowded sharp teeth that can be seen even if their mouths were closed.

'Damn those things are disgusting, as I hold back the food in my mouth that was coming back up by just looking at them.'

"Let just get this over with, as I release my cold-breath freezing the three creatures to death as the ice breaks down into particles once again.

{You have killed 3 goblins. adding .75 xp and 3 green goblin teeth}

What now stood in the place of the goblins were three goblin teeth, but I leave them there as I see no use in holding them right now.

'So in order to get 1 level I need to kill 400 goblins, it feels like it would take forever, but using this Biomnitrix, it'll be easy.'

{Just to advise you Adrian, it is fine to use your equipment to your advantage as everyone does, but when it comes to events or even challenges where such equipment may be restricted, it would be best to also train yourself}

"Alright you have a point there Oracle, it'll be a mix of both, but since this is the beginning like me just use this for now to get myself settled.

{You have the final say Adrian}

"Thank you….Oh right I still have to check out the soul-seeking knot I got as well"

Summoning the knot mentally, what appears in my arms are what looks like to be a golden rope with a knot in the middle and two loose-ends.

"The description says I can transfer knowledge and skills using this rope and make it my own. It even has a chance to bind objects to me…wait let me test this out with the Biomnitrix"

Summoning one of the gauntlets on my left arm, I tie the rope around it using one end, while I use to other end to tie my right arm.

Suddenly the rope was giving off a golden glow, as I feel a load of information entering my head, currently too much for me to handle.

Starting to feel pain from all the information being forcefully pushed into my head, I try to unsummon the rope as fast as I can.

The rope suddenly turned into particles and disappears as the information sudden stops in my head.

I fall to the ground heaving heavily trying to comprehend what has just happened.

'With all the aliens in the device, each with their own uniqueness and abilities as well as backgrounds, it was too much for me to get all at once' Adrian thought.

'I at least got the information to understand the minimum of the capabilities of the Biomnitrix and boy there is a lot. I can change the genetic composition of animals to be humans and vice-verse even though it will take a while to understand it completely.'

'I am pretty sure I was not supposed to use the knot like that to get all the information at once as that could seriously cause some brain damage, but you live and learn I guess.' CCB B

'At least I got something out from the pain, as I look at my system's notification I got from Oracle'

{Congratulations Adrian, you have successfully bounded the Biomnitrix to yourself. Even though it is bounded to you, individuals who are more powerful can try to forcefully break it, causing damage to you and your soul, so it will be best for you to improve yourself and level up as when you grow stronger, so does your bound with not only the equipment but people as well.}

'I wasn't able to use my steal ability, but I find a time to test and use it as I kill these mobs for xp'

{Just before you start on your killing spree, be aware that you do have a few missions to complete}

"Really…ok then can you open up the missions menu Oracle"

{Certainly}

As Adrian was starting to workout, what he didn't notice was that there was a small girl in rags with blue eyes and blond hair all dull and what looks like tears falling from her eyes. As she stares at Adrian starting to workout, she whispers something inaudible and as her mouth closes, she left all of suddenly as if she disappeared and was never there.
