Chapter 1451: Skill Points And Skill Library

.

I had been thinking that I got a bit too many Skill Points, I had just used them to buy Appraisal for 10 Skill Points. But it seems that aside from buying Skills, I can also directly level up a few of them. Skills usually need Proficiency to level up. Every 10 Skill Points a Skill can increase in level. However to max out the level of a single Skill I would need… like 100 Skill Points?! I only have 150 right now, so I would need insane amounts of Skill Points to actually level up a skill to max level. And I would be wasting all of my Skill Points doing that… I guess it is better in this case to buy some new Skills instead and maybe level up a few important Skills that I should prioritize. Especially those within the Unique Skill label, those guys are special and affect my entire being as a whole. Leveling them up using Skill Points could help me grow stronger exponentially faster.

But what can I find in this “Skill Shop”, though? I decided to give it a quick look. I had acquired the Appraisal Skill as a System prompt, but I want to see by myself the library of Skills and see what’s available… When I opened the Skills Library, a giant amount of them popped out, so many that it scared me and almost made me fall back. There were some Skills that sounded pretty familiar as well… Are these Skills the ones I used to have in my previous life? Even those I once fused together are here as their original versions! Ooh, now this is interesting!

Recently I’ve been trying to unlock more Skills by conjuring Magic, but magic suddenly got weird with me and it hasn’t let me do whatever I want. My Chaos Beams, and the Divine Aura which I can shape into arms and thread is all I got now. The Confusing Ray and everything else related to magic stays, but the other things that I could had learned cannot be learned anymore. There’s something weird going on in here. It seems that when I was summoned I was way freer in what I could earn than now. I began to think and analyze things properly and I concluded that I could gain more skills when I was summoned because my body was freer with my soul and my magic affinity.

But now that I’ve evolved and also leveled up, my body has been… well, let’s say “grown”. I’ve grown and now it can’t easily take new powers, so I must learn them slowly or something like… well, learning the Skills themselves through Skill Points, which is the easier way out. But I think I can still learn Skills by doing certain actions, although I can’t do many without destroying my surroundings though. I’ve tried out bringing the other elements though, such as trying to create winds, lighting, fire, and the like through magic circle construction. It was hard and tiring, and I spent too much MP doing very little.

…So I concluded that this new body was overspecializing in my own affinities, other more general elements were not as strong and I couldn’t conjure stronger spells such as Blazing Tornado, Windstorm, Lightning Bolt, and the like. However, because I was zealous and greedy I continued practicing the little Spells such as Fireball and so on, hoping I could get them even if they’re the tiniest and weakest of the spells available. Learning new Spells from Chaos and Illusion Elements seemed easier, and I think I might also have talent for Darkness and Dreams, but I’ve tried them out with the other elements and I have yet to get anything substantial for now.

It seems that because I got strong Spells made into Skills such as Chaos Beam and Confusion Ray, most of the proficiency of these elements are being directed to them… which is rather shitty, this System got its flaws, even more, I hate there isn’t just some general skill for all the spells of a certain magic element! Everything is just Skill based… Well, I am sure people in this world still do conjure normal spells, but the system not always make them into Skills. You gotta gain invisible proficiency and then be somehow approved by the Soul Book as something that can become a Skill. And well, while multi-tasking into doing that, I was also checking the Skill Library.

I had bothered myself a little bit and asked around the servants such as the maids and the butlers about Skill Points and Stat Points. In that moment I found Fiere, who was happy to give me a roundabout about this stuff I didn’t understand well yet, and also to tell me if she had the same amount of Skills in the Skill Library as I had.

“Well, Kireina-sama, according to old books and religion, it is said that Soul Books are a special power we all have, it is our innermost potential. Most people is born with a Job Class and a Subclass. Sometimes it is something powerful that can give them strength right away, other times it is something that can grow into something greater. Based in what Classes and Subclasses we are born with, we can learn new Skills and also access to new ones through Skill Points… Usually people get between five to ten Skill Points per Level.”

“Oh, I see… Well, I can earn 10 per level.”

“Eh? Y-You can? That means you’re incredibly talented…”

“Oh, really? Well, anyways, what about the Skill Library? Got anything to tell me about that?”

“The Skill Library is within the Soul Book of everybody, based in your Class and Subclass, there are a variety of available Skills. The Skill Library can usually help a person to see their true potential and how far they can go. Skills in there can also be learned naturally with an incredible amount of effort… well, some of them. Others are so strong they can only be acquired through Skill Points. The stronger the Skills, the more Skill Points they need. Also, Skills can be leveled up using ten Skill Points, but that’s not recommended as it is a waste unless you’re desperate… It is always better to get new Skills.”

I see…
