Summary: Your physique is no longer human. You have normal humanoid physical strength, but your body can produce enough energy to power a planet for a whole year. It seems that selling your soul to darkness has some advantages in the end...

Apophis was quite impressed with the outstanding results of his last quest!
As it stood, his stats were amazing. He was as strong as a normal player might be at lvl 60, and hadn't even spent his wealth of Skill Points yet.
However, Apophis was aware that one had to be careful when leveling up powerful skills. It was entirely possible to raise a skill so high that its required energy surpassed the player's reserves, making it unusable until they further increased their own power.
But even more so than the thought of upgrading his existing skulls, Apophis was filled with excitement at the thought of gaining a new Runic skill, the highest rarity in the game!
He opened the skill roulette and spun it. His heart nearly stopped while the cursor slowed to a halt on its final selection!

[Esper] [Runic]
Skill Name: ~Universe Editor~
Skill Summary: "Only a god can edit the universe as he pleases."
Effect (1): For 1 second, you can overwrite reality within 100 meters.
Cooldown: 1 week
*This skill can be upgraded for 5,000 Skill Points.*

What kind of skill was this?
If Apophis imagined a supernova or a black hole, could he really manifest it into reality? Apophis wanted to test this skill right away, but to be forced to wait for the week-long cooldown in the middle of a war made it unwise.
One detail above all else caught his attention:
It cost 5,000 Skill Points to upgrade the skill to the next level. That was absurd! He doubted anyone in his former life had ever amassed that many Skill Points over their entire careers!
Of course, in this new life, Apophis had discovered quest after quest which gave him special rewards. Considering how much more powerful he was now compared to where he should be at his level, it was entirely possible that he 'could' gain this equivalent of five hundred levels of rewards, given enough time.
Of course, even if he had so many points at that point, Apophis knew it would likely be foolish to spend them on this skill. Not only would it surely be overwhelmingly energy-consuming, but that many Skill Points could go a long way to improving his other abilities!
Instead, Apophis spent 300 Skill Points to upgrade ~Susanoo~, ~Berserk~, and ~Dark Cosmic Meditation~. These gained new properties, which he studied carefully.

[Esper] [lvl 2] [Legendary]
Skill Name: ~Susanoo~
Skill Summary: "Summon a skeletal guardian spirit formed from your very soul!"

Effect (2): You can project the guardian spirit up to 200 meters away.
Effect (3): While the guardian spirit's health is above 50%, you are invulnerable.
*This skill can be upgraded for 200 Skill Points.*

[Esper] [lvl 2] [Epic]
Skill Name: ~Berserk~
Skill Summary: "Channel cosmic power through your body, becoming a powerhouse of destruction!"
Effect (1): Triple your stats and damage for 30 seconds.
Cooldown: 24 hours
*This skill can be upgraded for 300 Skill Points.*
***
[Esper] [lvl 3] [Dark] [Rare] (upgraded from Cosmic Meditation)

Skill Summary: "Your cosmic senses have attuned to the darker energies of space."
Effect (1): Permanently increase your maximum energy by 30% and your energy damage defenses by 5%.
Cooldown: 30 days
*This skill can be upgraded for 200 Skill Points.*

Apophis still had 705 Skill Points left, so he spent 60 points on ~Energy Regeneration~. He now had 100 points in this skill, which allowed him to regenerate 15,000 energy in a few minutes.
Then he spent 130 Skill Points on ~Telekinesis~, bringing it to a new value of 140 points. At this level, he could lift the equivalent of a whole building! It was finally useful in combat.
Then Apophis spent 500 points to upgrade his basic Esper ability, ~Firebending~, increasing it to 550 points! At this level, he could melt stone without difficulty.
Of course, this upgrade would have been useless if he didn't have this skill ~Eternal Flame (lvl 3)~, which negated the energy cost of fire skills.
After buying all these upgrades, the desertion notifications had finally slowed to a trickle.
It was time to get back into the fight!
