As you were thinking about which skill to focus on, you hear a ping in your system and check it out.
[QUEST: MAKE A BASE OF OPERATION]
As the first to form, it is your responsibility to make a shelter for other diamonds, creating a safe environment for them to form, and establish a base of operation where you can build things.
REWARDS: 500 EXP, 1 SKILL LEVEL UP CARD
[FIRST STEP TO BECOMING STRONG]
CREATE 5 SKILLS
OBJECTIVE: 0/5
REWARDS: 500 EXP, GUNS OF DEATH THE KID
Looking at the quest tab, you decide to focus on creating skills first since there are no threatening creatures on this planet, or any creatures at all.
Thinking about a skill that works with this environment, you see only rocks in your vision. "Hmm, rocks. Wait, that's it! I can go full Avatar." You try to move the earth on the ground using MANA. It works a little before the earth returns to its original position. The system pings: [SKILL ACQUIRED: EARTH BENDING LV.1]. "Well, now I can call myself the Avatar," you say, looking at the system.

[(NEW) EARTH BENDING LV.1]
[TITLE: (NEW) SELF-PROCLAIMED AVATAR]
You call yourself the Avatar. You haven't even mastered the four elements.
[1% EXP GAIN IN BENDING SKILLS]
"Hey system, why does it seem like you're mocking me?"
[It's just your imagination.]
You stare into the system. "Hmm, okay then. Now, system, show me the skill description of earth bending."
[(NEW) EARTH BENDING LV.1] (ACTIVE)
MP OR EP COST: 50 A SEC
You can bend the earth and use it for attack and defense. It is the most versatile element among the four elements.
You look at the MP cost of the skill. "So, I can only use it for 200 seconds before I run out of MANA. If I level up the skill, will it lower the MP cost? Another question is, since I can use EP for the cost, can I teach bending to my sisters?"
Imagining what element would fit each sister: Yellow is aggressive like fire, so she will use fire. Blue is neutral like water, so she will use water. White is curt and dismissive like the wind, so she will use air. Pink is stubborn like a rock, so she will use earth. And I will be the Avatar, master of the four elements. "Hahaha, that's a good idea for when they fully form."
"Now, let's create more skills. How about MANA control?" You visualize a ball of MANA, pour a little bit of MANA into it, and try to change its shape. It explodes in your face, but you hear a ping: [SKILL ACQUIRED: (NEW) MANA CONTROL LV.1]. You open the system to see the description.
[(NEW) MANA CONTROL LV.1] (PASSIVE)
Helps you lower the MANA cost by using your MANA efficiently and helps you control your spells. Lowers the MANA consumption of skills by 1%.
Next will be magic construct. By using [MANA CONTROL LV.1], you make it into a different shape: [SKILL ACQUIRED: (NEW) MAGIC CONSTRUCT LV.1].
[(NEW) MAGIC CONSTRUCT LV.1] (ACTIVE)
MP COST: 50 AND 5 FOR MAINTAINING THE CONSTRUCT
It's like the Lantern Ring in DC but with limits. You can only make weapons that you know how to make. You can't make any sci-fi laser weapons, at least for now. {At higher levels, you can be like Gilgamesh or Shirou Emiya.}
"Okay, that would be cool when an enemy wants a one-on-one combat. I'll say, 'I won't even lift a finger, and you will still lose,' and sword constructs will materialize on my back and shoot at the speed of Mach 10. This skill will definitely be on my must-level-up skill list."
"Hmm, what skill should I create next? How about magic reinforcement?" You create a sword using [MAGIC CONSTRUCT LV.1], focusing on creating one sword to start with. You create Kanshou because it's black, like Black Diamond.

You try to pour your MANA into it, but it meets resistance. You force more MANA into it, but you hear a cracking sound. Looking at the sword, it has small cracks in the blade. Without thinking, you throw Kanshou as far as you can and hear an explosion. "Oops, I put too much MANA into it, and [MAGIC CONSTRUCT LV.1] is too low level with weak structure. Well, at least I can throw exploding swords at my enemies." You hear a ping in your system: [SKILL ACQUIRED: (NEW) OVERCHARGE LV.1]. "Well, it wasn't for nothing; I got a new skill out of that. It wasn't the intended skill, but still good." Another ping: [THE SKILL MAGIC CONSTRUCT LV.1 HAS LEVELED UP TO MAGIC CONSTRUCT LV.2]. You look at the description.
[MAGIC CONSTRUCT LV.2] (ACTIVE)
MP COST: 45 AND 5 FOR MAINTAINING THE CONSTRUCT
It's like the Lantern Ring in DC but with limits. You can only make weapons that you know how to make. You can now reinforce your construct. You can't make any sci-fi laser weapons, at least for now. {At higher levels, you can be like Gilgamesh or Shirou Emiya.}
"It looks like when you level up a skill, it lowers the MP cost and allows me to reinforce the construct. Let's try it again." You make a new construct of Kanshou and pour in your MANA. You hear a ping: [SKILL ACQUIRED: (NEW) MAGIC REINFORCEMENT LV.1].
"Now with that done, let's see the description of my two new skills."
[(NEW) MAGIC REINFORCEMENT LV.1] (ACTIVE)
MP COST: 35 EVERY 5 SEC AND 5 FOR MAINTAINING THE EFFECTS
Enhances the durability and sharpness of items and magic constructs.
[(NEW) OVERCHARGE LV.1] (ACTIVE)
MP COST: 100
Overcharge a magic construct. You now have a portable missile or bomb that makes a big explosion when the magic construct gets destroyed.
"Now that I'm done making skills, it's time to claim my reward."
