51 New Function: Thread of Extremeness
Unique skill, a mysterious skill owns by a Chosen that is unique on themselves.
A skill that serves as the Chosen's trademark and is incomparable to normal skill.
Unique skill has been a mystery since before. Because, unlike normal skill which shows its entire effects, and just needed skill points to promote, unique skill starts with only a few or even just one effect at first.
Its function was all hidden and needed ardent enlightenment to unlock. Thus, a unique skill could advance or not based on the Chosen's level of comprehension of the skill.
Of course, there are requirements needed to unlock a certain function of the skill, and so far, discovering those requirements has been a hard feat as no one knew what to do nor where to start.
Cause what if they do a certain action but was rendered insignificant or won't unlock a new function at all? Won't their effort be in vain? Or the time they spent would be deemed a waste of time?
This has been the mindset of some Chosen, thus, they tend to just do things as they normally do, and just let luck decide their unique skill's fate. Besides, some of them were contented with the opened/first effect which undergoes enhancement as they entered a major breakthrough. (Like how Adam's unique skills effect increases from 1 second to 3 seconds of activation).
And same as others, Adam thought similarly. He also planned to just see whether his activity would be aligned to the requirements needed. But alas, he never thought that unlocking would come this early!
Hence, his command was instantly halted as the message rang, causing him to be unable to enhance his 'Robe of Supremacy' at all...
'Ding!'
[ Unique skill 'Extreme Luck' (SSS-Grade) new function has been unlocked ]
As the message rang, Adam's surroundings start to gleam as unknown things started forming around him.
The plain white room inside the tent also began to turn blurry in Adam's view as the unknown thing was seemingly highlighted or was the focus of the whole scene.
Second after, a message rang again...
'Ding!'
[ New Function 'Thread of Extremeness' has been unlocked ]
As soon as the message rang, the unknown things finally took form, and what Adam saw fascinated him...
'threads!', he thought enthusiastically
The unknown things took the form of threads, with each gleaming with different colors.
There is a thread that glows the most as it releases a bright golden light. There is also the whitish one which releases a meager white light. Also, there are black, light gold, grayish, and brownish color among them.
As Adam saw the threads, he was extremely amazed by the light they were releasing as they came with different levels of brightness.
Of course, he didn't have time to check the new function's details at all as he only had remaining 1 second before Extreme Luck's cooldown, thus, he immediately grabbed the golden thread which releases the brightest light among the threads.
Soon, as he expected, a message rang, signifying the end of the skill...
'Ding!'
[ Unique Skill 'Extreme Luck' is now on cooldown ]
[ Cooldown: 4 and 1/2 days ]
As Adam saw the announcement, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief, as he was relieved that he had managed to hold the thread before the skill's effect could end.
And at this time, an announcement rang again, causing the flabbergasted Adam to widen his eyes from awe.
'Ding!'
[ Thread of Extremeness's effect will now be applied ]
[ Remaining time before the thread fades: 1 day ]
[ Letting go of the thread would result in its fading ]
Simultaneous to the system's announcement, the threads that were surrounding Adam, vanished promptly, like a fire being easily extinguished by water.
The inside of the tent became visible again in his view and as he looked at his hand, there he saw the golden thread that he had grab earlier.
The golden thread is a long thread that is seemingly endless as Adam cant see its other end. He was holding on to the thread which led to somewhere outside the tent.
'Where could this thread possibly lead me to?', he thought
Soon, he first checked the new function's details...
[ Extreme Luck ( SSS-Grade )
Description: Upon activation, extreme luck would descend to the Chosen within 3 seconds
Cooldown time: 4 and 1/2 days
Effect/s:
- Thread of Extremeness
: upon activation of the unique skill, various threads would appear around the Chosen which releases a brightness that varies on its extremeness. The darker the color or the brighter the light it releases is, the more extreme the thing it leads to.
Time before the thread fades: 1 day (letting go of the thread before the 1-day ends would result in fading of the thread)
Note: The extremeness being referred to is the extremeness of the item/thing the thread leads to ]
After checking the skill's details, Adam instinctively held the thread tighter, afraid of accidentally letting it go.
'It's good that I've grabbed the darker and brighter thread earlier', he thought as heaved a sigh of relief
A while later, he then checked if the thread is visible to others, and gladly, after asking Greed whether he saw the thread or not, the latter's answer delighted him...
"Thread...no", Greed answered
Also, he learned that earlier, as his surroundings turned blurry and the threads appeared all over, Greed didn't see anything unusual at all.
In other words, the threads were visible exclusively to him.
Thus, right after knowing of the skill's detail, he shortly followed the thread, going outside of the tent, and besides him was the 10 million mana-powered Greed who kept his expressionless look, contrast to Adam's face that's imprinted with excitement all over.
-------
After 10 minutes of continuous walking along the streets of Batangas City, Adam finally reached his desired destination, namely, the end of the thread...
And as for what the thread's end leads to? It's an enormous house or rather a Manor, being surrounded by vast walls, that have guards or knights everywhere.
'The Duke's Manor!', Adam thought while looking at the huge Manor that was before him...

A/N: I'll be using the English Noble's Title from now on, so Mayor is changed to Duke. -_-
