Rare Grade Skill (Sky's Limit)

[Ding! You have obtained a Low Grade Strength Multiplier(+3)]

[Ding! You have obtained a Dirt Grade Height Multiplier(+1)]

[Ding! You have obtained a Rare Grade Skill(Sky's Limit)]

Reo looked at all of these items blankly. He didn't know what any of these items did in the first place.

However, trying to recall some of the games that he had played in his previous life, he knew that he had actually obtained something good.

Forget about the Dirt Grade and Low Grade items, there was a Rare Grade item there instead!

As the name suggested, this was a rare item. Even in all the games that he had played before, this was considered a good item.

However, the system just had to ruin his mood.

[What?! A Rare Grade Skill?! How the hell did you get a Rare Grade Skill from the Newbie Gift Pack?!]

[This won't do! I'm recalling that skill immediately! It's too good for you!]

Reo had to stop himself mentally from tearing apart space and time just to drag the system out and give it a severe beating.

What kind of shamelessness was this?! No, this was not shamelessness anymore! It was bullshit!

Pure and absolute bullshit!

This is just like how a parent would promise to buy the latest iPhone for their child only to gift them with a flip-phone instead.

It was absolutely horrible.

So, doing his best to calm himself down, Reo once again put a smile on his face.

"Now, now, almighty system. How could you possibly recall a skill just like that? Could it be that you don't value your face anymore?"

[Shut it, you brat! What would you know! Do you even have any idea how valuable a Rare Grade Skill is?!]

[Giving such a skill to an Unranked Talent such as yourself will be like giving wings to a pig! Have you ever seen a flying pig?! Have you?!]

Reo's lips twitched incessantly. He was just a step away from cursing the system back into the void.

He would rather climb the harsh mountain rather than deal with this nonsensical system.

"So what? If a system such as you exists, why can't flying pigs exist as well", Reo announced without an inch of shame in his voice.

[....]

Once again, the system was stunned by this boy's shamelessness.

It had really run into a wall this time.

Also, it was seething in anger to being compared to a flying pig. It, the Great and Almighty Court Ruler System was actually being compared to a flying pig instead!

This was just too much!

However, upon thinking about it, the system realized that it also may have been a little unruly in it's decision. After all, this boy had no idea how good that skill was.

So, recalling back it's anger, it began to explain to Reo.

[Host, there are a variety of skills provided by the system but ultimately, they are classified into 5 separate grades]

[From weakest to strongest, there are 5 grades; Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary and Mythic]

[People would always have at least the most basic of skills before advancing to a higher tier of skills but you! You skipped the basics altogether and went straight into a higher tier skill!]

Reo kept quiet as he pondered through this.

It was true. Many people would always choose to obtain and brush up their most basic of skills first before advancing to a higher tier.

This wasn't for no reason. If one were to learn high-flying skills instead of the basic ones first, there was a high chance for one to obtain injuries and some of them might even be lifelong.

No person would be willing to risk injuries for no reason unless you were like those crazy daredevils. As such, no matter what sports, it was always essential to start from the basics.

However, Reo had just skipped that basic step. It was like trying to dunk before learning how to dribble.

'So, this system is actually looking out for me?', Reo thought.

He couldn't help but feel a bit touched. Despite this system's shamelessness, it still had the least bit of compassion held within it.

Still, Reo wasn't willing to give up this skill just like that.

"System, thank you for your concern but since I have decided to become the best, there are naturally risks that I have to bear. Even if it's dangerous, I must forge onwards"

"Besides, don't I have you to take care of me, oh mighty and handsome system", Reo responded cheekily.

[Huh?! W-Who cares about you?! And what do you mean that I'll take care of you?! I am not a babysitter!]

[Still, I am surprised by your conviction! Even though you might get injured, you are willing to bear with it to get stronger! However, this is not the way to go!]

[Even though, you have currently obtained a Rare Grade Skill, you are still unable to use it properly! Every skill has a minimum requirement in stats to utilize it's full power and while you won't get injured from it, you won't be able to utilize it's full power without the basic skills and stats requirement!]

Reo was somewhat relieved by what the system said.

At least now, he could utilize the skill without any repercussions.

Also, he realized about how naïve he had been.

Willing to risk injuries to get stronger? That wasn't conviction, it was stupidity!

What was the point of getting stronger if you were unable to even play the game.

'Looks like I need to calm myself down. I was originally planning to start from the basics anyway but I got too excited after finding out about the system's capabilities', Reo thought.

[Of course, this mighty system isn't just for show, you know! Now, check your stats interface!]

With that, Reo called up his stats before skimming through it carefully.

From there, Reo noticed a couple of changes. Besides the new addition to the 'Skills' section, there was also a change to his concentration and talent.

"System, what does concentration and talent mean in my stats interface?", Reo asked.

[It is exactly what it says. Your concentration is attributed to how much you are concentrating in reality and now it shows an increase which is most likely due to how much importance you view the new skill on]

[As for talent, you were previously marked as 'Unranked' which means that your talent was really low, so low that even a barnyard animal can be considered good]

Again with the barnyard animals!

This nonsense system was always comparing him to barnyard animals and whenever he turned around to insult the system, the system would lose it's temper instead.

It was like the system was allowed to curse whoever it wanted but no one could curse it back.

Where was the justice in that?!

[However, now your talent has been upgraded to 'F' which is two talent grades higher than 'Unranked'. Obtaining skills and upgrading them will lead to an increase in talent once the threshold is crossed]

[Talent is ranked from the lowest, 'Unranked' and then followed by 'F-' which leads all the way to 'SSS+' which is the highest. Your talent is still within the 'F' grade threshold which is considered normal for regular people who only touched a basketball at least once or twice in their entire lives]

[Oh yes! Before I forget, your talent will also be affected by how high your stats are! For now, you don't really have to consume it directly as the system is built with an auto-consume function that consumes the Stat Multipliers 24 hours after a new one is deposited which makes sure that the Stats Multiplier are not just rotting in the inventory!]

[At least my creator took counter-measures if I ever had a lazy host so consider this your good fortune, you brat!]

At least the system still knew how to hold back a bit and give him some good news.

Still, an 'F' grade talent in basketball was only equivalent to a mediocre person who had no interest in playing basketball whatsoever and had barely even touched the ball.

Reo was certain that even the kids in kindergarten would have higher talent compared to him!

Still, he was bound to surpass them all. After all, he had the help of the system.

It was like the god of cheat codes among cheat codes.

With it assisting Reo, there was no way for him to not become the best.

There was also the auto-consume function which did help Reo by quite a bit. At least now, he could practice his skills properly without worrying whether he had left any Stats Multiplier unchecked in his inventory since the system would just auto-consume it anyway.

So, with that, Reo started to inspect the new skill.

[Rare Grade Skill (Sky's Limit)] [Level 1(02/30 EXP)]

[Enables the user to reach heights unachievable to normal humans and show the world that the sky is truly the limit! You will be able to jump 20 inches into the air at any given time until your body reaches the maximum limit!]

[Physique Required: 8]

Reo was slightly shocked when he read the skill's description.

Jumping 20 inches into the air?!

Even among all the people in the world,20 inches can be considered an above average jumping ability.

And not to mention that this is only the first level of this ability!

This meant that as the ability upgraded, he would be able to jump higher and higher until God knows where.

To him, this was a big win especially since he previously had such a weak body. This was considered a gift of epic proportions!
