3 Freebies, Steal Skill
On the Tempus continent, there lies a mountain range in the middle forming a huge ring protecting one of the most abundant of riches in the whole continent called "Cradle of Life" but it has another name that is feared and known by every living thing, "Land of Death", is one of its infamous names as it houses millions of powerful beasts if any ordinary person or even the mightiest of heroes can only have the streght to retreat from these beasts however it is a paradise for demonic beasts as they enjoy devouring the rich mana in the air.
There stand 4 mountains on each it's cardinal axes, respectively "The Crystal Peak Mountain Of North", "Emerald Mountain Of East", "Misty Mountain Of West" and the last "Fire Whisp Mountain (South)". Each mountain is dangerous than common people know as it is the home of the 4 Great Dragon and lives powerful beast only below of the dragons.
In the "Crystal Peak Mountain" a forest is located there called "IceyFrost Forest". In the forest, the trees are all enveloped with snow throughout all seasons it never rains only snow as the plants are nourished by the snows and underground rivers.
At a cliff in the "Icey Forest," you can see a pack of white-wolves chasing a herd of a six-legged horse. At the head of the pack is a large silver wolf, on its back is a young man with black hair wearing a coat made of a jet black coat with an exquisite wooden bow that one might think that the God of BlackSmith himself made it.
"Bull's eye! yeah my archery skills are getting god-like" said the young man while nocking another arrow on it'
"Master, Your improvement is getting faster and faster even the Eagle-Beastkin can't match you when it comes to talent on archery. " A blue-eyed wolf praised the young man.
"Yes, Master is the best " A light gray wolf agreed with the blue-eyed wolf.
"Of course would I be worthy of the title "Most Handsome and Capable" if not for this skills," I said sarcastically
It has been almost a month since I had a duel with "Alpha". Yes, indeed I named the "alpha of the wolf" Alpha seems he likes it and as for the other wolves I didn't name them yet I'm still racking my brains finding good names, I just told them that they should garner achievements before they can be named.
"Host you still have a "gift" left unopened, and the "free skill" wasn't still used up host"
"Ohhh? then let's first have the "free skill", is it supposed to let me have a skill from the "shop" if it is I'll have Immortality"
"Host, you can only pick 1 out of 3 skills that are gonna be provided by the system"
"Ohh then let's start picking"
A blinding light envelope around my body making me close my eyes as it was just too blinding, After a few seconds the light fades out as I opened my eyes three words were hovering around me respectively "Skill Grant", "Steal Skill", "Skill Fuse"; all three words were written with a cursive the seems very modern with a white color and very ordinary looking but it gives off the vibe of something noble like how a noble girl dress up as a beggar still gives the aura of a royalty. At the same time, the flow of the worst seemed to have slowed down until nothing beneath the heavens can't move.
"System, can you explain what uses these skills are?"
"Currently host has Appraise Skill"
"Lazy-Ass...System" I murmured under my breath
...Appraise.....Appraise...Aprai...
"{SkillGrant} Rarity: Epic; The ability to grant a skill to a being capable of using the said skill being grant (Host can't grant skills exclusively for bloodlines and other races with the exception of the host)
"{SkillSteal} Rarity: Epic; The ability to skill steal skills from a skill holder (Can only still one skill per target)"
"(SkillFuse) Rarity: Epic; The ability to merge skills having the chance to combine them to have better efficiency or become unusable due to many reasons(Same type's of skill can only be merged, mixing skills with a different type results the loss of skills, Can only merge skills once a day.)"
"Ehh skills have different types?"
"Yes, host there are three main types of skill Technique-skills, Spell-skills, and Void skills. Both Technique skills and Spell skills are divided into Combat-Skill and Life-Style-Skill, as for the void only individuals that have skills that don't belong to Technique-skill and Spell-Skills are considered Void Skills for example (SkillCreationS) is a void skill and (SkillGrant etc....) are considered as Void Skill as they are considered almost non-existent or null making them be called Void Skills."
"Mhhh okay...Is there a limit for an individual on how many skills he/she can have?"
"It depends on the individual's talent most people can only have 5 skills and they're capable of leveling up it to a level of 3 while other heroic figures known in this world were rumored to have 10 or below 15 number of skills that were all at most lvl. 7,"
"How many is my limit then?"
"Host originally had the potential to have 4 slot skills that can be mastered at most 5 but ever since host integrated with the system the limit to level up skills were removed but the host was limited to only have 30 skills."
"Okay...What should I pick..."
"Does host need any more clarifications?"
"Oh no I understand most of it...Say, can I steal skills from the system?"
*Ding
"Host was rewarded with the title "Hones-thief" and received 1 000 SCP, Upgrading Anti-Theft Protection...." *Ding Done.....
"...Does that mean I could've stolen IMMORTALITY?!?! GOD NOOOOOOOOOO"
...
"A loophole huh and I just fixed that hole...I'll just pick (SkillSteal)"
A violet haze appeared in front of me and darted straight to me before I can even react it already went inside my forehead. Time on the world has started acting up again
*Ding "Transfer Complete"
"Surprisingly my head didn't hurt like last time?"
"Host was granted a Void Skill as they don't need "experience" and Void Skills comes naturally from the host itself if the host didn't have the Appraise skill then the host can only steal skills by coming in contact with the target and say the skills that host wants to steal. Now that host can use Appraise host can just Appraise the target and look at its skill section then an option to steal a skill would be formed, host can also steal by saying "Steal (and the desired skill)" it only works on the last target that was appraised.
"That's pretty op now...let's try and steal some skill"
*Shrieeeeeek
A semi-ethereal Raven appeared out of nowhere appearing to have jet-black feathers and red-eyes that seemed to stare at the soul of every being coupled with its hazy look it appeared to be the grim reaper but a bird-version...
"Master, a Devil Raven it is rumored that whenever it shrieks beings with a weak mind would die from fear. You need to run master!" Celeste said.
"No need Celeste....(*Appraise*)"
Beast Type: Devil Raven Level: 35
Skills: Death Shriek, Materialize(Claws), Stealth, Devour,
Info: The Devil Raven is skilled in soul attacks, it can't be harmed by physical attack due to its semi-ethereal state. Warning: Warriors should never engage this beast. Note: they love eating souls especially strong ones
"I can't touch it then?, then how am I suppose to tame it"
*Shrieeeeek
AHHHH My brain hurts like hell...I can only kneel down while trying to cover my ears, this state of mine continued for a few seconds that seemed to be an eternity of pain to me. As the shriek of the Devil Raven was done it was soon followed by howling of wolves.
In a town near from the "Icey Forest"
*awooo *AWooooo
"Ahhhh the wolves are attacking!"
"Which pack is it?, Hope they aren't a "FrostBite Wolf"
"No, this howling came from one of the strongest pack in the forest, it's the Storm Wolves!" A young man wearing white robes said
"Fortify the WALLS!" a burly man said while brandishing his huge double-headed ax"
*shrieeeek
"Ohh the heavens that cry, A Devil Raven! RUN!" a one-eyed crazy looking old man said
...
"Master, Run we can only interfere with it only for a while" Celeste warned
"No, I can't abandon you all let me think for a while," I said as I tried shooting the Raven with arrows but all it hit was the trees behind it.
"Did you hear that Master won't abandon us! Hail Master" Alpha shouted as it clawed the raven with bolts of lightning coming out from its claws unlike the other storm wolves who's claws only has bit of bolts of lightning coming out from it but never underestimate those claws as they can claw an Earth Golem to its death which is known for its sturdy body.
"I got it! give me a few moments...hope this works"
"Hold on for a while pack," Alpha said
Steal Death Shriek!
