I examine my condition for a few minutes, analyzing everything, and at first glance, I can deduce this: first, my name is Lycara Shadowalive; second, it seems I have a hybrid class called Biomancer; third, I possess a unique ability, and fourth, the goddess of life, Vitalia, who I believe is responsible for summoning me, has bestowed her blessing upon me. Although now I have a small problem.
"How can I view the status information?" ...I guess the first thing is to try it. And when I thought about checking the information on the biomancer class, a screen appeared in front of me.
{
Class: Biomancer Level: 1
Quality: Epic
Class Type: Hybrid
There are several classes that study the biology of monsters, trying to find a way to enhance an individual's body, but a biomancer is the only one who tries to combine the body of a person with that of a monster. Using their high affinity with life, a biomancer has the ability to take parts of the body from both monsters and other individuals to improve themselves and others, but at the cost of gradually losing sanity if the monster parts are not compatible with the subject.
By level, you gain: +3 in vitality, +2 in strength, +2 in endurance, +3 in intellect, +3 in mana, and 3 in a free attribute.
The user is allowed to have 10 special abilities and 6 shop abilities for this class.
If you ask someone what you should fear more, a monster or a man, some will say the monster, and others will say the man, but what about a man who became a monster?

"...Losing my sanity?!"
I couldn't help but shout after reading the description.
"Moreover, if I turn into a monster, isn't that the same as losing my humanity?"
I begin to pace in circles while pondering this, not stopping until I realize I'm biting my nails.
"Calm down, Lycara. First, I'll finish checking what I still need to see in my status, and then I can start thinking about what to do."
With a final mental confirmation of this, I return to my status to see what I haven't checked yet.

Unique Ability: Perfect Assimilation
Quality: N/A
Type: Passive
One of the reasons biomancers are so feared is due to the gradual loss of sanity, given that discovering which type of monster is compatible with an individual is difficult. It also limits the scope of a biomancer's abilities to only allow the use of a particular type of monster. However, this ability allows ignoring this risk. By assimilating parts of monsters or other individuals, there is no risk of causing mental intoxication leading to madness in both the carrier and the people or beings on whom the user uses their abilities.
Additionally, it provides passive mental defense to the user, allowing them to ignore any mental conditions within their range and have greater resistance in the case of higher-ranking conditions.

{
Basic Ability: Biomancy Level: 1
Quality: Epic
Type: Active
The flagship skill of biomancers, this ability allows the user to assimilate both limbs and organs from another being, either adding them to their own body, combining them with existing organs and limbs, or replacing them entirely. This skill can be used on both the user and other individuals.
This ability can only use objects of a certain rank or lower for assimilation. Current Assimilation Level: +G.
The ability operates at a mana cost, but the cost varies depending on what you want to assimilate.

{
Blessing of the Goddess of Life:
This is the blessing of the goddess of life, Vitalia, said to have been created alongside her brother, the god of death, by the god of creation to bring life to the world of Eldoria. This blessing provides a passive improvement in health, endurance, and mana regeneration speed, along with significant resistance to diseases, slowing of aging, and enhanced fertility for the user.
"I wish you the best of luck, Lycara."

"..."
"Well, I admit I was wondering how I would know where the south is in a world that isn't mine," I said to myself after realizing that it almost seemed like someone was reading my mind.
"Alright, then it seems I won't go crazy thanks to my unique ability," I told myself with a small smile on my face, which quickly disappeared as I realized that I would still lose my humanity by using biomancy.
I... I don't want to lose my humanity or worse, lose myself. I've already lost my memories; I don't even know if Lycara is my real name or if it's just one given to me by the system or the goddess.
"I don't want to lose myself," I say as I feel my eyes moisten.
*Bham* I give myself a slap on the cheek.
"It's not time to cry, Lycara. I still need to check the shop and go to that village if I don't want to sleep on top of a tree," I say the latter while looking at the branches of the trees around me, the lowest of which seems to be about 10 meters (32.8 feet) above the ground.
I open my status again and think about opening the shop.
