'Damn, my stats really have grown a lot, and I gained a bunch of skills.'

'Now, I really need to start fusing some skills since with how things are right now, I would probably not even use half of these.'

After making my decision to fuse my skills I started to look over all the skills and make plans for what would go good with each other, and once everything was figured out, I started to fuse my skills. 

[You have synthesized 'needle launch,' 'spike explosion,' and 'steel needle creation']

[You have gained the common skill 'steel needle creation and manipulation']

[You have gained the rare skill 'greater general regeneration']

'Wait, skills can be influenced by other skills?'

'Maybe it has something to deal with synergy and the fact that it was an ultimate skill? Well, it's not like I can know for sure, so I'll just let it be for now.'

After looking at my new status and skills, I started to review all of them and make comments on the skills.

General greater regeneration: After the synthesis it has become much more powerful. The original accelerated regeneration skill converted mp to hp at a 1:10 ratio, but I guessed that it was weakened in exchange for basically infinite energy. No matter what, I found that the skill became stupidly op.

Rapid digestion: With rapid digestion not only can I stockpile energy, but I can never get fat! I wasn't a huge eater before, but I might be now.

360 vision: 360 vision is just useful, there's not much to say. Being able to see everything around me is good, don't get me wrong, but it's only useful during battles with assassin types or fighting over 10 people at a time.

Kitsunes greedy determination: Then there's my mutated skill kitsunes greedy determination. It is quite powerful since killing brings me benefit so I'll constantly gain stats when hunting until I have a 250% boost, and on top of that I'm aware of everything that is an obstacle. That wording is quite broad which means I could be aware of nearly everything.

Powerful body: It just boosts every physical stat. plain but effective, not much to say.

Lesser damage resistance: The skill mentions it grants resistant to all mortal means, so I guess divine means exist. No matter what, It's an op skill.

Affinity charge: It is pretty good with the speed boost but it's too bad that I lost the normal charge.

Hot blooded: It is similar to other skills I possess, but I'll take the stat boost.

Lesser size manipulation: This may be my new favorite skill. If needed I can now increase my height to 168 centimeters or decrease to 152. It may not be useful but I'm usually not taken seriously due to my height so it will be useful in certain situations.

Death grip: The skill is only so, so since it only increases grip strength. There's not much to say.

Weakening touch: It has great potential for development. I can literally lower the stats of others by physical contact, and if I'm powerful enough it could potentially last for years.

Crystalline reinforcement: The skill is pretty good with it's percent boost to defense, but I don't know how to feel with covering myself with crystals.

Ice crystal antlers: It's definitely pretty good but I don't know how to explain or if I'd like to have antlers. They would definitely get in the way when going through doors. I might use the skill if I fuse it with similar skills and it becomes less inconvenient, but I won't use it for now.

Acid secretion: The skill is powerful, but I don't want to risk dissolving my clothes.

Steel needle creation and manipulation: It is something that I'll definitely use with how versatile it is. After all needles are very small so most wont be able to even see it.

Affinity coating: It is definitely good, and I could make good use of it. With it I can coat my body with any affinity I possess, allowing for a lot of versatility.
