Kapitel 12: Skill Created
There is an old saying, 'A snake will always be a snake, even if you put a chain around its neck and try to make it walk upright.'
There are some people who we thought were supporting us from the back but little did we know that they were stabbing us.
Something like this happened to Liberi. The principal was a snake from both outside and inside.
"My lord, I hope the story answers all of your questions. If not, then feel free to ask me." Liberi said and suggested.
"No, everything is clear now. I got all the answers and don't worry we will definitely get your sword back and everything that's taken from you." Dreamer stated his resolve.
"Thank you, my lord." Liberi said gratefully.
"Don't mention it. My father used to say that 'You are not a man until you accept responsibility for those you are responsible for!'
And from the moment I created you and every other subordinate that I will create in the future will always be my responsibility.
You respect me enough to call me your lord so it's my duty to pay that respect back by fulfilling your wish. But first tell me, what about your parents? Did they know you were dead?" Dreamer asked.
'Well said kid, you are understanding your role here. Nice, you earned ten percent of my respect, and when you will earn a hundred percent of my respect then I will stop calling you kid.' Helix spoke in Dreamer's mind all of a sudden after hearing his words.
'Now, now just ten percent, seriously and I didn't say all that just to earn your respect. I said what I meant. Now don't disturb me. I am talking to Liberi.'
Dreamer replied to Helix in his mind. He didn't dwell on the fact that Helix will stop calling him kid when he will earn hundred percent of Helix's respect as he knew it's not going to happen anytime soon, So Dreamer just concentrated on Liberi.
'Oh, is that so? Well, I don't hear him talking, all I see is him just standing there looking at you' Helix said to Dreamer about Liberi.
After hearing what Helix said, Dreamer looked at Liberi and indeed he was just standing and staring at Dreamer.
"Ah, Liberi? Something wrong!?" Dreamer said while waving his hands in front of Liberi's eyes.
"Ahh, sorry my lord, I was just mesmerized by your grand words." Liberi said and came out of his daze.
"Why is everyone so shocked about me saying something like that!?" Dreamer said annoyingly.
"My lord, what do you mean by everyone? It was only me who was mesmerized by your words" Liberi said in a confused manner.
"Yeah, yeah forget about it, and now will you tell me about your parents knowing that you are dead or not, and how many days has it been since your death anyway?" Dreamer didn't tell Liberi about Helix and continued the matter at hand.
"My lord, I used to send letters to my parents once a week along with some money. So it can be said they didn't know about my death. And it's been two days since my death, so if I don't send a letter to my parents in five days, it is very likely that they will suspect something is wrong." Liberi answered.
"Oh, if that's the case then you don't have to worry. After getting your sword we will meet them personally." Dreamer assured Liberi.
"Thank you, my lord. So, are we going to the academy now?" Liberi asked, as now that he had finished telling his story and everything was clear, then the only thing that was left was to visit the academy.
"We will, but not now, I have something else to do so use Soul Meld skill for now." Dreamer said.
"As you wish, my lord" Liberi replied and turned into white light which then entered inside Dreamer's chest.
After Liberi went inside Dreamer's soul. Dreamer called out to Helix.
"Hey Helix, let's see what skill creation is all about." Dreamer said as he decided to check out his reward first.
'Here.' Helix said and a black screen with white words written appeared before Dreamer.
[ Skill Creation : Host can create skills of any level or class by the help of the ring's stored magic power.
The power of the skill will depend on the ring's stored magic power and the host should give a clean description of the skill that he wants to create.
Host can't give his created skills to his subordinates.]
"Oh, a detailed explanation is given here. Helix you are saved, you don't have to explain this time. But it's too bad that I can't give the skills made by me to my subordinates, but anyway. It's good. So let me try it out then" Dreamer said and started thinking about a skill.
'Wait.., a second, let me give you..'
"You wait a second, Helix, you can't help me every time you know. Let me do this myself" Dreamer interrupted Helix and again started thinking about a skill.
'But, At least listen to me, I am tell…'
"Oh, come on Helix, what's your problem, I got this, let me think for a moment" Dreamer again interrupted Helix and continued on thinking.
'No, it's not that. Let me finish at…'
"Shut up Helix!!, You are annoying me. Let me do this, I will create an awesome skill. Keep quiet for a second!" Dreamer again interrupted Helix but this time in a loud tone.
'Fine!, Screw yourself' Helix gave up and said in an angry tone.
"Thankyou." Dreamer said and started thinking again.
'Now, let's think about a skill, so I have to defeat gods and demons who are insanely strong and I am going to an academy to get Liberi's sword back and it's not like they will give it me like it's nothing, I am sure they will attack me, so the skill should be a destructive one. Ah yes, I got it.' Dreamer thought and made a decision about the skill he wants to create.
"Skill Creation." Dreamer said and again a screen appeared before him.
[ Do you want to create a skill? ]
"Yes!" Dreamer answered the system's question.
[ What is the name of the skill that you want to create? ]
"Eternal Destruction!" Dreamer said grandly as he was trying to tell Helix that he created the best skill.
'Hmph!' Helix just scoffed at Dreamer's show of grandness.
"Hmph all you want Helix, just you wait and see." Dreamer replied to Helix's scoff.
[ Describe the skill in detail ]
"Yes, so it's like this, whenever this skill is used, everything I want around 50 meters will be destroyed by the mana around the surroundings without leaving a trace and this skill should use a minimum amount of my mana." Dreamer described the skill.
[ Skill Creation in process...please wait... ]
"Ha, ha. Helix! You see that, now I am invincible. From now on whenever I am surrounded with enemies, I will just say Eternal Destruction and boom everyone will vanish and I wonder how many exp I will get after that, should I go now and blow up the academy or huh...?" As Dreamer was lost in his thoughts, he saw the words on the screen changed, it was written in red instead of white.
"What's this?" Dreamer said and looked at the screen.
[ Skill can't be created! ]
[ Ring's Current Stored Magic Power is insufficient! ]
[ Host is advised to create another skill that is suitable according to Ring's Current Stored Magic Power! ]
"This?" Dreamer let out while looking at the screen.
'Pfft..' Helix laughed at this scene.
"Don't laugh, it happens. It's the first try, after all. Let's try again." Dreamer said and started thinking of another skill.
'Yeah, yeah. Do your best.' Helix said in a leisurely manner.
"Yeah, thanks." Dreamer said annoyingly.
"Anyway, let me think. Was the skill too overpowered that's why it can't be created then let me turn it down. If I can't destroy them then I should try to burn things and I should reduce the distance too. So, let's see…"
"Skill Creation" Dreamer said and a screen appeared in front of him again.
[ Do you want to create a skill? ]
"Yes!" Dreamer answered.
[ What is the name of the skill that you want to create? ]
"Hell Fire!" Dreamer again said grandly.
[ Describe the skill in detail ]
"Ok. So, whenever this skill is used, the mana in the surroundings will turn into fire. This skill will affect ten meters..no seven.. five ..yeah five is fine.
Yes, so this skill will affect around five meters and this skill will cost seventy percent of my mana" Dreamer described the skill and he made sure not to make it overpowered.
[ Skill Creation in process...please wait.. ]
"I hope this works out," Dreamer said hopefully.
[ Skill can't be created ]
[ Ring's Current Stored Magic Power is insufficient ]
[ Host is advised to create another skill that is suitable according to Ring's Current Stored Magic Power ]
'Pffft…' Helix laughed again.
"What the hell!? I even lessened the affected area and increased the usage of my mana but still it didn't work. Nonetheless, I am not stopping, I will try again." Dreamer said and decided that he will definitely create a skill.
"Skill creation" Dreamer called out again.
[ Do you want to create a skill? ]
"Yes!" Dreamer replied again.
[ What is the name of the skill that you want to create? ]
"Furious Tornado" Dreamer again named a skill he wants to create.
[ Describe the skill in detail ]
"When this skill is used, the mana in the surroundings will turn into wind and then the wind will blow very fast like a tornado. The affected area will be 5 meters. This skill will use all of my mana." Dreamer explained the skill.
[ Skill Creation in process...please wait... ]
'It will work this time, I am sure of it' Dreamer again said hopefully. But,
[ Skill can't be created ]
[ Ring's Current Stored Magic Power is insufficient ]
[ Host is advised to create another skill that is suitable according to Ring's Current Stored Magic Power ]
'Pffft..' Helix laughed again.
"Dammit this time too, fine, once more!" Dreamer cursed and decided to try again.
"Skill Creation" Dreamer called out again.
[ Do you....create a skill? ]
"Yes!" Dreamer said again.
[ What is the name....want to create? ]
"Almighty Push" Dreamer named yet another skill.
[ Describe the....in detail ]
"This skill will allow me to use gravity on anything that I want. It will consume all my mana" Dreamer stated the details.
[ Skill Creation in process...please wait... ]
'Please, please' Dreamer kept on thinking.
[ Skill can't be created ]
[ Ring's Current Stored Magic Power is insufficient ]
[ Host is advised to create another skill that is suitable according to Ring's Current Stored Magic Power ]
'Pfft..' Helix laughed again.
"Dammit, once more!" Dreamer said and moved on to try again.
"Skill Creation" Dreamer called out again.
[ Do you....a skill? ]
"Yes!" Dreamer replied fastly.
[ What is the name....want to create? ]
"Grizzly Magnum!"
Dreamer again named a skill but this time he was pretty fast as he just wanted to create a skill so he was not thinking about names deeply.
[ Describe....in detail ]
"This skill will turn both my hands into rubber and this skill will also increase the size of my hands. This skill will consume all my mana and I can only use it once in a week." Dreamer fastly described the skill and he even made the skill to be used only once in a week.
[ Skill Creation in process...please wait... ]
'Make it work, Make it work' Dreamer kept on chanting.
[ Skill can't be created ]
[ Ring's Current Stored Magic Power is insufficient ]
[ Host is advised to create another skill that is suitable according to Ring's Current Stored Magic Power ]
'Pfftt..' Helix laughed again.
"Ahngh, Once more, Skill Creation!" Dreamer said in a frustrated manner.
[ Do you...skill? ]
"Yess!" Dreamer said while fuming.
[ What is....create? ]
"Boogie Woogie"
Dreamer again named a skill which was even weirder than before.
[ Describe.... detail ]
"This skill can be used for three minutes and whenever this skill is used, I can change the position of anything in a radius of three meters with a clap of my hands. This skill will use all of my mana and I can only use this skill for once in two weeks."
Dreamer again explained the skill and also made it even less usable than the previous skills and also, he reduced the affected area.
[ Skill Creation in process...please wait... ]
This time Dreamer didn't chant anything he just kept on waiting with a worried face.
[ Skill can't be created ]
[ Ring's Current Stored Magic Power is insufficient ]
[ Host is advised to create another skill that is suitable according to Ring's Current Stored Magic Power ]
'Pfftt..' Helix laughed again.
"Ahngggh, once more, Skill Creation!!" Dreamer said and he was very frustrated right now.
[ Do...skill? ]
"Yes, yes!!" Dreamer said frustratedly.
[ What...create? ]
"Onigiri."
Dreamer said in a second, he was not even thinking of a name.
[ Describe... detail ]
"When this skill is used, the mana around my hands will turn into two sharp swords and I will also get a boost of speed and also the swords can cut anything. It will use all my mana and I can only use this skill for once in three weeks." Dreamer described the skill in a tired manner.
[ Skill Creation in process...please wait... ]
This time too, Dreamer didn't chant anything.
[ Skill can't be created ]
[ Ring's Current Stored Magic Power is insufficient ]
[ Host is advised to create another skill that is suitable according to Ring's Current Stored Magic Power ]
'Pffft, bahah…' Helix laughed again but this time more heartly.
"Ahnggghh, again! Skill Creation!" Dreamer called out again this time in more frustration.
[ Do...skill? ]
"Yessss"
[ What...create? ]
"Hollow Purple" Dreamer stated the name of yet another skill.
[ Describe... detail ]
"This skill will create a purple hole which will suck everything around three meters and this skill will take all my mana and can only be used once in four weeks and also after using this skill I won't be able to use any other skill for three days." Dreamer described the skill and this time he precisely made sure not to make it too overpowered.
[ Skill Creation in process...please wait... ]
After few seconds,
[ Skill can't...created ]
[ Ring's Current Stored...insufficient ]
[ Host is advised...Ring's Current Stored Magic Power ]
'Pfft..bahahahaha..' Helix laughed again but harder than before.
"Aahhhngghh, fine. I will not stop. let's see how far it can go, Skill Creation!!" Dreamer said in an extremely frustrated state as he became more frustrated after hearing Helix's laugh.
After that, Dreamer kept on trying to create different skills.
[ What...name? ]
"Serious Punch"
[ Describe... detail ]
"It's a super powered Punch, uses all my mana and can only be used once in a year."
Dreamer again explained the details. And waited for the result. But,
[ Skill can't...created ]
[ Ring's Current Stored...insufficient ]
[ Host is advised...Ring's Current Stored Magic Power ]
'Hahaha' Helix kept on laughing, he didn't even try to hide his enjoyment.
"Again! Skill Creation!" Dreamer kept on trying again and again. Completely ignoring Helix's laughs.
[ ...name? ]
"Detroit Smash"
[ ... detail ]
"A punch that will smash everything it hits, uses all my mana and can only be used once in two years."
Dreamer explained and waited. But,
[ Skill can't...created ]
[ Ring's Current Stored...insufficient ]
[ Host is advised...Ring's Current Stored Magic Power ]
'Hahaha..'
Helix kept on laughing and Dreamer kept on trying.
"Skill Creation"
[ ...name? ]
"Final Flash"
[ ...detail ]
"I will join both my hands and mana will burst out with power, use all my mana and can only be used once in three years." Dreamer again explained and waited.
[ Skill can't...created ]
[ Ring's Current Stored...insufficient ]
[ Host is advised...Ring's Current Stored Magic Power ]
Seeing this Helix laughed again and Dreamer tried again.
"Skill Creation"
[ ...name? ]
"Spirit Bomb"
[ ...detail ]
"Collect mana around the surroundings and a huge sphere bomb will be created. Uses all my mana and can only be used once in four years."
After explaining, Dreamer waited.
[ Skill can't...created ]
[ Ring's Current Stored...insufficient ]
[ Host is advised...Ring's Current Stored Magic Power ]
Helix laughed again and Dreamer tried again.
"Skill Creation"
[ ...name? ]
"Ora Ora Rush"
[ ...detail ]
"Consecutive strong punches. Uses all my mana and can only be used once in five years."
Dreamer waited.
[ Skill can't...created ]
[ Ring's Current Stored...insufficient ]
[ Host is advised...Ring's Current Stored Magic Power ]
Helix was constantly laughing and Dreamer was frustrated like hell. But still,
"Skill Creation"
[ ...name? ]
"Thousand years of death"
[ ... detail ]
"Poke two fingers in the opponent's butt at a fast speed. Uses all my mana and can only be used once in a lifetime."
Dreamer explained and waited. This time he was half assured that this skill, which can only be used once in a lifetime, will be created. But,
[ Skill can't...created ]
[ Ring's Current Stored...insufficient ]
[ Host is advised...Ring's Current Stored Magic Power ]
Helix laughed again and this time he was laughing like he was rolling on the floor.
"Dammit, I can't even create a skill that will just poke someone's butt? What the hell with this, Skill Creation. I am tired..my mind is in pain now" Dreamer cursed loudly and he kind of gave up.
'Bahahaha' Helix kept on laughing.
"What's so funny! Helix!" Dreamer finally talked to Helix.
'What's so funny!? You are asking me what's so funny, this whole sequence was funny for me, you failed outstandingly.
And what were those names you started giving at the end, what was it, 'Boogie Woogie' Seriously are you a kid? And there's also 'Ora Ora Rush' . What's with this, you just think of a word and say it two times to create a skill, no creativity at all.
And at last, when you said the name of the last skill, 'Thousand years of death', I thought this would be an overpowered skill but then the description you gave caught me off guard and I could've died by laughing.
Seriously! Poke the opponent's butt and have you thought about what if this skill was successfully created then how will you plan to fight with gods and demons and winning or do you think that poking someone's butt will harm them and you will win the fight.
You should be grateful that this skill isn't created.' Helix said all this and started laughing again.
"Then what was I supposed to do? This thing was not creating any skill so in the end I randomly thought of some names and descriptions." Dreamer said in an annoyed tone.
'Now say it!' Helix stopped laughing and said in a serious tone.
"What?" Dreamer asked as he didn't understand what Helix wanted to hear.
'You know exactly what I am talking about. Don't you?' Helix said in a cold manner.
"Ahhnggh, Fine. Helix, I am sorry, I was acting like a spoiled brat. Forgive me, and tell me what I was doing wrong."
Dreamer knew that Helix wanted to hear his apology. But he was embarrassed. But Dreamer also knew that it was his fault, Helix was trying to say something to Dreamer before he was going to create a skill but he kept on shutting up Helix.
'Good, I will tell you but on one condition.' Helix said.
"Seriously, an apology is not good enough for you, you also have a condition. Fine! What is it?"
Dreamer agreed to hear Helix's conditions as he didn't have any choice as he wanted to create a skill no matter what.
'The condition is, you will never interrupt me again, whenever I am speaking' Helix stated his condition.
"That's it? I can agree to that, I guess. Fine, deal." Dreamer agreed to Helix's condition as it was not a big of a deal.
Helix deliberately didn't give Dreamer a tough condition as he also wanted Dreamer to create a skill.
'Good, now let me tell you where did you go wrong.' Helix said and Dreamer got ready to hear.
'First of all, you should have checked the Ring's Current Stored Magic Power because it is clearly written in the description of Skill Creation that creation of a skill will depend on the Ring's Current Stored Magic Power. Here let me show you' Helix said and then a screen appeared in front of Dreamer.
[ Ring's Current Stored Magic Power : 100 ]
"Ohh, I should've checked it, sorry Helix. But this isn't the only mistake I made, isn't it?"
Dreamer said realizing his mistake and he also figured out that this wasn't his only mistake because if this was his only mistake then he would've been able to create a skill, he didn't have to try so many times.
'Yes, you guessed it right, this wasn't your only mistake. Let me tell you what you should've done. But before that, if you remember the promise or my condition, you are not allowed to speak halfway, is that clear!?'
Helix said as he was now going to explain Dreamer's mistakes and he didn't want Dreamer to speak in between.
"Ok, understood" Dreamer understood and assured Helix that he will not speak.
'Good, so I was saying you should have checked the Ring's Current Stored Magic Power which is hundred. Although a hundred seems like a big number, believe me it's not.
For example, your first skill that you wanted to create, what was it! ahh yeah 'Eternal Destruction'. To create such a destructive skill the Ring's Current Stored Magic Power should be over 999,999. But it was only a hundred.' Helix said.
Dreamer hold back the urge to say, 'whattt?' As he continued listening to Helix.
'Although after that 'Eternal Destruction' you tried to create less powerful skills but they were still powerful enough to not be able to be created.
Be it 'Hell Fire', 'Furious Tornado', 'Almighty Push' and all the other weird skills you tried to create, they were simply too powerful.
And second, the way you gave the description of the skills. The system specifically asked to describe the skill in detail but you explained it vaguely.' Helix said.
Dreamer again held back the urge to say 'Vaguely? I described the skills perfectly, what do you mean?' but he didn't say this either. But Helix understood what Dreamer wanted to say.
'Yeah, you may think that you explained the skill perfectly but no you didn't. Let me tell you. First, you should specify the rank of the skill that you want to create.
By rank I mean, just like weapons and individuals, skills can also be ranked. The ranking system of skills is the same as the ranking system of weapons. Like F,E,D,C,B,A,S and so on.
Let's see for example 'Eternal Destruction' can be considered as a SS rank skill.
You can also ask the system about the rank of skill that can be created with the Ring's Current Stored Magic Power.
Right now, according to the Ring's Current Stored Magic Power the highest rank skill that can be is just a F rank skill.
So, you should have also stated the rank of the skill you want to create and if you want to raise the rank of your skill you can also specify that the skill should be upgradeable.
Now, the third and last thing you should consider before creating a skill is that the skill should be reasonable not like your last skill, 'Thousand years of death'. I mean seriously poke the opponent's butt?
Well, anyway I have explained everything about this skill creation so, now it's your turn. Tell me what you should do before creating skills.' Helix explained and asked Dreamer as he wanted to make sure that Dreamer understood everything he said.
"Oh, sure. So, first I will check the Ring's Current Stored Magic Power and then according to that I will create the skill of a particular rank, I can also ask the system about the rank of the skill that can be created with the Ring's Current Stored Magic Power.
And at last, the skill should be reasonable. I got it, thanks."
Dreamer answered and thanked Helix as he knew that Helix didn't like to explain things but Helix is still explaining to Dreamer about all this. So, Dreamer felt grateful.
'Good, now that you have learned, let's create a skill.' Helix said.
"Yes, let's do this. I will create an awesome F rank skill." Dreamer said excitedly.
'No. You don't!' Helix said and stopped Dreamer.
"Huh? What do you mean, I have to create a skill don't I? You even said to yourself, 'let's create a skill' so why not create it?" Dreamer asked Helix as he didn't understand why Helix was stopping him.
'Yeah, yeah. I know I said that and of course, you will create a skill but the skill you will create will be decided by me this time, you can try creating your own some other time. Is that clear?' Helix said or more like ordered Dreamer to do as he says.
Because Helix had already decided which skill to create right from the moment when Skill Creation was given as a reward.
"Finee!" Dreamer reluctantly agreed.
'You may feel bad now, but after hearing the skill, you will thank me. Listen…'
Helix told Dreamer about the skill he wants him to create. And indeed, Dreamer liked it.
"Awesome, Helix, you thought all that! What a handy skill. It's strong and also ordinary at the same time. Like I thought, you are experienced with this stuff." Dreamer praised.
'Didn't I say after hearing the skill you will thank me.' Helix said and by his tone it looked like he was smiling.
'Now, what are you waiting for, get it done.' Helix reminded Dreamer to create the skill.
"Ahh, yeah, let's do it. Skill Creation" Dreamer called out again but this time with more confidence.
[ Do you want to create a skill? ]
"Yes!" Dreamer replied.
[ What is the name of the skill that you want to create? ]
Dreamer said the name of the skill.
[ Describe the skill in detail ]
Dreamer explained the skill, but this time he stated that the skill should be a F rank skill and can be upgraded by the skill points.
[ Skill Creation in process...please wait... ]
"Helix, are you sure that this time it will work?" Dreamer said worriedly.
'Don't worry, it will.' Helix assured Dreamer.
"Let's hope so." Dreamer said and waited.
[ Skill Created Successfully ]
[ Congratulations on creating your first skill ]
[ For creating your first skill, additional 50 XP is Rewarded ]
[ Ring's Current Stored Magic Power : 0 ]
Seeing this congratulatory message, Dreamer had teary eyes.
"Now I understand why people say 'Fruit of hard work is the sweetest.."
