Solo Leveling: Infinite Talent

The monster lay motionless on the floor, the dust settling around it as the hum of the environment returned to normal. Mai Lee stood over it, his breath steadying as the adrenaline from the fight slowly wore off. His mind was racing.

"Status Update:"

"Crushing Earth Strike: A fusion of raw strength and force. Increases impact damage by 50%. Additional effects: Stuns target for 3 seconds."

The new skill flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but grin. This was incredible. The power to copy abilities, to fuse them into something even stronger—it was like he had unlocked a cheat code for the world. His body hummed with energy, and his eyes darted around the hallway as he considered his next move.

He couldn't stay here. As much as he wanted to test his new abilities further, something told him that he had no time to waste. The deeper he ventured into this world, the more dangerous it would become. The thought of being a lowly E-rank hunter in this strange realm was laughable now. He had power. He could feel it coursing through him, ready to be unleashed.

But there was still so much he didn't understand. Where was he? Why had he been pulled into this world? And why did he have this bizarre, all-powerful ability?

"Warning: Incoming Threat."

The sudden alert broke through his thoughts, sending a jolt of panic through him. His head snapped around, eyes scanning the hallway for any sign of danger.

A new presence. Larger. More powerful.

It was a monster, but this one wasn't like the last. This one was different. Its black scales shimmered in the dim light, and its eyes glowed like molten lava. A massive, draconic figure loomed in the distance, its claws scraping against the stone floor as it approached.

Mai Lee didn't hesitate. He focused on the creature, letting his ability activate.

Copying Talent: [Dragon's Resilience]

The moment he copied the ability, he felt the changes inside his body. His skin felt denser, tougher, like armor had formed beneath it. The strength of the Dragon's Resilience surged through him, and he instinctively raised his arms, his hands crackling with the raw power of the dragon's energy.

He could feel the energy pooling in his body, an untamed force ready to be unleashed.

"Dragon's Might: A fusion of Dragon's Resilience and Stone Giant's Strength. Enhances defense and impact damage. Grants temporary resistance to physical and elemental damage."

The fused power surged within him, and Mai Lee felt the ground beneath his feet shake as the dragon approached. The monster let out a deafening roar, charging at him with terrifying speed.

Mai Lee didn't flinch. He clenched his fists, feeling the power within him boil over. He could already tell that his newly fused abilities would be more than enough to deal with this beast.

With a single step, he lunged toward the dragon, the air around him rippling with the force of his movement. His body, now imbued with the strength of both the Stone Giant and the Dragon, moved faster than ever before.

As he closed the distance, he unleashed a devastating punch, infused with the full force of his fused abilities. The impact was like a bomb going off—dust exploded outward in all directions, and the dragon was sent crashing into the wall, its body twisting as it skidded across the floor, dazed but not defeated.

The beast shook off the attack, growling as it stood back up. But it was clear that it had been shaken. Mai Lee's attack had struck harder than anything he could have imagined, and the fusion of his abilities had only amplified that force.

He was no longer a simple E-rank hunter. He was something far greater, and the path ahead was just beginning.
