From what I’ve read, you (the system) leans more toward fundamental abilities rather than overpowered spells or whatever, so here’s some ideas: 1. 8 Inner Hidden Gates(but not from Naruto). I’m thinking something more along the lines of Martial World, where the “Gates” aren’t just limiters on the body. Once unlocked, they bring permanent enhancements to the body, without having to “open” them every time. 2. Mind Palace. 3. Haki. It’s always an option, albeit a little overused. 4.Body Reconstruction. You see this a lot in Martial Arts novels. A literal reconstruction that rebuilds the body to perfectly suit martial arts.(Greatly enhances potential, strength, energy control, muscle/bone density and placement, longer lifespan, etc). 5. Energy Manipulation/Control. Maybe some sort of technique/organ/knowledge that greatly enhances energy control, like the Six Eyes from JJK. 6. Magic Circuit, like from Fate. 7. Bloodline Awakening. Maybe he can evolve into a High Human or something. 8. Mana Core/Aether Core from TBATE 9. Enhanced Organs. Like maybe his digestive system evolves to become more efficient. Or his cardiovascular system evolves, expanding his veins, allowing more blood and oxygen to travel throughout his body, greatly enhancing stamina and recovery. Could be anything. You could even introduce new organs. 10. Breathing Techniques, like from Demon Slayer, but maybe altered to have higher scaling or integrate with magic. 11. Meridian Cleansing/Opening. Could enhance potential, both physical and magical. 12. Some sort of Body Tempering. Iron Bones. Steel-Threaded Muscles. Could be obtained by breaking and regenerating his body over and over again. 13. Enhanced Regeneration. Self explanatory. 14. Telekinesis. If trained properly, the scaling could be insane. 15. Maybe something like the One Punch Man body limiters. Break said limiter and obtain crazy power. 16. Magical Condensing, similar to the Limitless Technique from JJK. 17. Shadow Simulator(or whatever it’s called) from Nano Machine, where he can analyze opponents and fight a replication of said enemy as a shadow that only he can see. 18. Runes/Rune Engraving 19. Muscle Memory Engraving. Reach certain level of proficiency in a practice/technique and engrave it into the body. 20. Rokushiki (One Piece) 21. Quirks from MHA That’s all I can think of for more fundamental human techniques. Now, as for what I want to see… That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime skills! Where, just by training and sheer force of will he can obtain certain skills that suit him best. Like Hinata’s Dead End Rainbow skill or Yuuki’s anti-skill body would be crazy lol (though I know it’d never happen).

Depends on a lot of factors. However, I’d say forced isolation generally leads to despair. That’s probably why solitary confinement in prisons is so “intense”. But voluntary self-isolation usually isn’t negative. That’s when we can reflect, think, and just… let go. Maybe long periods of complete isolation could lead to something like despair, but part of that does depend on the person, their mindset, and situation. Some people relish in the fact that they don’t have to deal with others. Shout out to my fellow introverts.

My man! A true introvert, indeed.

Just a thought, but… it’s hard to say whether this is a bad idea or not. I mean, if I was just a normal person, I would not want to live in a city filled with cultivators. The chances of dying randomly seem pretty high. On the other hand, if I was a cultivator, I wouldn’t want normal people making laws and ruling over me and other cultivators. Not necessarily because they’re weak, but can you trust a normal person to know what it feels like to be a cultivator? Can you trust they will work in your best interest, or will they do everything they can to gather as much power as possible to control said cultivators? I feel like combining the two would create a dystopian society, where normal people live a life of pseudo-slavery, under the thumb of the powerful, yet being able to do nothing. They’ll never be able to rise up, creating a vicious downward cycle of poverty and submission.

I’m also a little confused here. Bro could be their ancestor 100x over. It’s a little awkward to see him acting his way.

Uhhh… what? So, what did he regret? That he was a bad judge of character? That he got betrayed? I understand loneliness, but that was purely his own doing. He wanted power under the guise of helping his family. Nothing wrong with that. Also, he had a loving family who would be more than glad to spend time with him plus a vast amount of time. I really don’t buy that he was “lonely”. From where I stand, all his actions kept him safe, powerful, mentally stable, and alive. As soon as he got mixed up with “friends” he literally died. If there’s anything to learn, it’s not “I won’t push people away and will grow with them.” It should be, “I’ll be more cautious of who I grow close to.”
