Smoke element

"Points ? What are you speaking about ?" Asked curiously Amelia, since they had been having sex the whole time, he didn't tell her about the artifact.

"I will explain to you later" said Alex before summoning the system to verify his points.

[Name: Alexandre Eswald

Age: 60

Level: 4

Strength: 60

Agility: 60

Stamina: 140

Defense: 60

Mana Points: 55

Harem: Lilia Eswald, Annaline Maxwell, Amelia Eswald;

Abilities: Soul Linkage

Soul Points: 240]

"What the-" exclaimed, Alex when he saw his current's number of points.

'240? That's means that I gained 220 points, how can it be so much?!' wondered Alex.

The reason he was shocked was very simple, he had merely gained 40 points from having sex with both Lilia and Anna, and now he suddenly got an increase of 220 points from having sex with Amelia.

'But, if I think about it, it's quite normal' thought Alex after giving it some consideration.

'For one, Amelia's level is higher than the level of both Lilia and Anna, two, she is my sister and the system did say that I gained more points from fucking those that have blood ties with me and the final reason, we had been fucking for the last two days, it's way more time than the combined time I spent fucking Anna and Lilia, so I guess it's normal that I have so much points right now'

'In any case, it's not like I'm going to complain about it' thought Alex with a big grin.

"From your grin, I assume that you have acquired a good deal of points, right ?" Asked Lilia.

"Yes"

"Can you copy any ability by using your current points ?"

"Let me chec-"

"Wait, copy an ability, what are you talking about, what is going on ?" Asked a confused Amelia, she had wanted to just sit and listen to what they were saying, but in the end she couldn't stop her curiosity, plus, what they were discussing seemed a bit absurd, copying an ability, was that even something possible.

"I recommend informing her about the artifact now; it will avoid interruptions every time she hears something."

"You are right" replied Alex before starting to tell the tale of how he got his hands on the lust artifact, again.

After he finished, like all the others girls, Amelia got silent as she mulled over what Alex just told her, Alex then profited this moment to ask the system:

'Show me the list of all the abilities I can copy with my current points'.

[Abilities from which woman ?]

'All of them' replied Alex, if he had a choice, he wouldn't include abilities coming from Lilia as he had to unseal them before copying them, but alas, Lilia was actually the only one of his women to have many abilities, Anna had two, and he knew that Amelia has three, he just hoped that he could copy one of those five abilities.

Unfortunately for him, the system response was actually what he feared:

[You can only copy one ability, which comes from Lilia Eswald]

'Well, I guess that was to be expected' sighed Alex before asking 'what is the ability I can copy ?'

[Smoke (sealed): allows the user to manipulate the element of smoke.

Level: Low

Soul points needed to copy: 150

Soul points needed to unseal: 50]

'Smoke, that's not bad, that's even good I would say' appreciated Alex.

'Hey, I want to know if I unseal this ability, can Lilia use it' asked Alex, since the moment he asked the system if he can copy her ability even if he didn't completely heal her, he had always been curious what would happen if he unsealed some of her abilities while copying them, would she be able to use them or not.

[No, she can't use that ability even if you unseal it, because she can't use mana]

'Well, that's too bad, but it does make sense' thought Alex as he dismissed the system screen.

"So, can you copy one ability?" Asked Lilia as she remarked that Alex seemed to refocus on her.

"Yes, I can copy your smoke ability" 

"Smoke ability ? I hoped that you could copy something better" replied Lilia with a disappointed voice.

"Why do you sound so disappointed ? I actually think that the smoke ability sounds quite cool, I even wonder why it's a low level ability" said Alex.

"I'm not disappointed because the smoke ability is weak, in this world there is not really a weak ability, every ability can be dangerous if trained well, the problem is that it generally takes time to master abilities like smoke, time that we unfortunately don't have"

"As for your other question about why the smoke element is actually a low-level one, it's quite simple. Unlike elements such as water, fire, lightning, and others, the smoke element is not a pure element. Smoke emerges only when there is a combustion or vaporization of certain materials, making it a secondary and derivative manifestation in the elemental hierarchy, why it's low level" explained Lilia.

"I understand" replied Alex.

'Hey system, how many points do I need to copy the second-weakest ability' asked Alex, in his mind, if the difference in points is not too significant, he could try to earn more points to copy another ability, however...

[2000 soul points]

'I guess, smoke element it is'
