Chapter 11 - Gabriel's Abilities
(A/N: As they are inside his mindscape and has a body with a functioning mouth, their conversation would be displayed with " " instead of Gabriel using [ ].)
"To begin with, let's start with the main functions, the Status Board. This Status Board is a bit different from normal Status Boards of this world because instead of separating development abilities and skills, they would be under one tab, and a new parameter will be added." Gabriel spoke while manifesting a screen on top of her hands and showing it to Adam.

Adam stared at the screen for a few seconds as he read through his status, then a few questions came to his mind.
"What's up with my Race? And the heck is those skills?" he asked, perplexed by what he just read.
"A Conceptual Spirit is a Spirit who embodies a certain concept or concepts. A Human is a human. The *Sealed* race is something even I don't know. And about your skills and abilities." Gabriel explained first, then she hold out her other hand and another screen popped up from it.

Adam was speechless, there were some skills with overlapping effects, but if used together, would make a much more powerful effect. That's what he could determine, at least.
Just like [Metamorphosis] and [Super Growth].
He is quite intrigued when he read the skill [Transfiguration], this must be what allows him to transform into different Heroic Spirits, although he is not quite sure how it completely works. For one, he arrived in this world as Proto Gilgamesh but transformed into Arthur Pendragon the next, arriving as Proto Gil is understandable because he was cosplaying as him when he got... how did he get here again? Nevermind. Anyway, how he could transform into Arthur is completely a mystery to him, it probably has something to do with Avalon inside of his body, but he still needs more researching to ascertain the subject.
[Spirit Integration] attracted his attention the next, because if what the description says is true, then this skill is similar to how Class Cards work in Prisma Illya world. And if he understands correctly, it isn't limited to Heroic Spirits or Servants, he could also use this with living people, Humans, Beastmans, Animals, etc.
Then, there's [Negative Status Immunity]. This skills is broken in every aspect, because as long as the Rank is high, no negative effects will affect him, as far as this world is concerned.
The [Reminisce] skill must be what caused the unknown memory to appear in his mind, he wanted to learn about it more, but there are still many other things he must do at present.
He didn't know how he got [Eternal Arms Mastery], but it maybe caused when he transformed into Cú Chulainn. After all, he was trained by Scáthach in the Land of the Shadows, so he would also learn about her Skill. This must be a side-effect of [Transfiguration], if he has enough understanding or comprehension of a skill, said skill would imprint itself with him while using his experience as a base.
And lastly, [Eyes of the Lord]. This skill excites him the most because it is something the 'Adam' from one of his favorite franchises has. This skill overpowered because of it's ability to replicate even a God's technique, and this made him more exhilarated when thinking of what world he is in.
Danmachi is full of Gods roaming the land and creating Familia's here and there. Furthermore, this Gods are not as bad as the one's from 'Records of Ragnarok' so he could befriend them.
Moving on, Gabriel's next ability is called 'Search', this ability can search for anything Adam and Gabriel can understand. For example is, the location, they can search the location as long as they have sufficient information about it and it would appear on Gabriel's next ability, which is called 'World Map'.
Even though it is called 'World Map' the only visible land present in the map are the ones within Adam's sight, therefore it's compatibility with 'Search' is great. Next on the list is an ability called 'Analyze' which can analyze anything inside out, this ability uses mana or other forms of energy available for use for Adam. The larger and more complicated an object or a structure is, the more mana is consumed.
After that, Gabriel introduced the 'Relationship' and 'Favorability' ability which works greatly with each other, with 'Relationship' he could view his current relationship status with an affiliated entity and with 'Favorability' he could see how much they value him with numbers. If 'Search' is used to ask a question about 'Favorability', you can view methods to increase favorability of a certain person.
Adam shuddered at Gabriel's explanation because with this, he could exploit other peoples' emotion, so he asked Gabriel to not show the two functions unless necessary or if he asked.
Then there is an ability called 'Unit Management', this allows him to keep track of his subordinates' progress and gave him a variety of other abilities, such as teleportation to another unit or teleporting a unit to himself. On top of that, the ability doesn't have a cooldown so he could literally spam it.
As for the rest of her abilities, she hasn't received it yet because it would overload his soul, the stronger he get, the larger his soul would get and in turn would allow Gabriel to use her other abilities.
But even just her current abilities is enough to make even a normal person a top-class adventurer.
