Soon, the pin stopped, landing on a fruit-shaped item from One Piece.
[Congratulations, Host, on obtaining the Unique Class Reward: Amplify-Amplify Fruit.]
[Amplify-Amplify Devil Fruit: Allows the host to amplify any two parameters by 0-100 times at a time.]
[Current Amplifier Factor: 0x]
[Remark: Host can eat the fruit to unlock 2x parameters and then train to increase the Amplifier Factor up to 100x.]
Ryder nodded, looking at the Devil Fruit in his hand. "Well, it's good," he mumbled, though the rewards he got were from the lowest rank in the yearly section. Still, he had obtained a powerful Devil Fruit. And with the Sukuna template, it could be said he had a solid foundation for now.
Ryder then looked at the red, melon-like fruit. It was about the size of an apple, so he opened his mouth and bit into it. It tasted strange, almost like puking, but he clenched his thighs and gulped it down.
The fruit disappeared, and a strange feeling rushed through him. The system then notified him.
[Host has obtained the ability: Amplify (2x).]
The system's notification made him nod in acknowledgment.
Ryder decided to test it out. He opened a nearby panel and threw a pen at the curtain. Then, he focused, using the 2x amplifier once more. The results were clearly visible.
"Good," he muttered, a grin creeping across his face as he took a step back. "Well, at least I have done exercise everyday." Ryder mumbled to himself as he glanced out into the distance. "But now I need to proceed with Training my abilities regularly," he added, deciding to train more.
He had two years before things would get intense, and with events like the Hulk vs. Abomination fight coming soon, Ryder knew he had to prepare.
"But first, I need a base," he mumbled as he looked out the window.
"Thankfully, New York in Marvel is quite a lawless place," he muttered, remembering all the villain organizations there. His system was like an RPG system, allowing him to level up after killing someone, so he planned to use it.
"But let's unlock Reverse Cursed Energy Manipulation too," he mumbled as he sat crossed-legged on the floor and began working to manipulate the cursed energy. The next ability on the Sukuna template would unlock at 5%, which was Reverse Cursed Energy Manipulation, a healing skill that could even regenerate a heart.
Ryder practiced the Cursed Energy Manipulation, feeling it flow through his own body as he tried to enhance his Physical abilities. Many times, he failed, but finally, after the 11th attempt, he succeeded. He was able to manipulate the cursed energy more and more as time went on.
"Ry, are you working?" his mother's voice called out, and he quickly opened his eyes confused and look at the clock. "Damn, it's 10 in the night," he muttered under his breath. "yes, Mom," he said, realizing he had lost track of time.
He opened the door, finding his mom standing there. "You should eat at the right time," she said, holding a tray full of food. "Sorry," he muttered as she nodded.
"Just leave the dishes after eating, outside your door, and get some sleep. Don't work too late," she said, giving him a gentle reminder. Ryder nodded in agreement and took the tray, heading to his room.
After eating, Ryder went to the kitchen, washed the dishes, and then returned to his room. His mom, sitting in the living room, smiled softly and said, "His wife is going to be a blessed woman, just like me." She watched him, knowing he was handling everything on his own, despite her saying to leave it.
She shook her head and then settled into bed with her husband, snuggling close as he subconsciously wrapped his arms around her.
Meanwhile, Ryder, returning to his room, lay down on his bed, determined to get some rest and prepare for the next day.
Over the next week, he focused on improving his abilities, advancing his template integration to 30% and mastering techniques like Sukuna's Reverse Cursed Energy Manipulation and his newly learned Cursed Technique: Cleave.
He looked at himself in the mirror and muttered, "Now I am ready."
"Generate quest," he said, and the System screen popped up.
[Please specify the goal]
"I will kill or defeat over ten criminals tonight," he mumbled.
[Finalizing... quest generated]
[Quest: Clean up the City]
Goal: Defeat or kill ten criminals
Reward: 1 FP (Fantasy Point) per normal person defeated
2 FP for trained criminal defeated
5 FP for weak mutant criminal defeated... (additional rewards for tougher enemies)
Ryder looked at the log of information, seeing how the criminals were categorized and how the Fantasy Points—currency for the System shop—varied based on their rank.
"Damn," he muttered, realizing the scale of the task ahead. The system would reward him differently depending on the type of criminal, and it seemed like tonight was going to be full of action.
As the time hit midnight, Ryder opened his room window and stepped onto the rooftop, gazing ahead.
"Amplify jump height and endurance," he muttered, activating the powers of the Amplify-Amplify fruit. A white light flashed around him, and with a burst of energy, he jumped. His already powerful physique, boosted by the Amplify, allowed him to soar higher than before, almost clearing the clouds as his Amplify was now at 5x.
"Whoohoo!" Ryder yelled as he soared through the air, the night sky rushing past him. He felt an exhilarating rush as he controlled his flight, ready to begin his quest.
Ryder focused on his cursed energy and activated the abilities. "Amplify Strength and Lightness," he murmured, feeling the power surge through him. He soared through the air, kicking off the wind beneath him like a monster leaping into the sky. It was as if gravity didn't apply to him, and he was in complete control of his movement. It was akin to Moon step in One piece allowing him to Walk in air like them, but more advanced here.
