Chapter 12 - Fat Gains

TRADE OFFER: I get the top 10 spot in the monthly power ranking, and you get double update... Do we have a deal?
~[The Wyrm]~
'Ugh... I feel bloated.' The Wyrm complained as he dragged the last bit of meat into his mandibles, swallowing it with full intensity.
He had killed another 2 Belgrams after the first quarry, all of which he took no hesitation in eating.
All of them, no breaks.
After swallowing the last chunk, a notification went off and Voice-chan's sweet voice resounded through his mind.
『The Skill ~Overeating LV 1~ has been acquired.』
...Gee, thanks.
'I'm gonna reach Niko's level at this point...' He commented as he looked towards his gigantic belly, sharing many similarities to a certain Avocado.
He also leveled up again after killing the second Starfish, elevating him to level 3 and giving him an additional 200 Skill Points to use.
Not to mention the power he plundered from those Belgrams. Swim was very close to leveling up, and he had also gotten the Crush Skill.
in one way and another, he had truly gotten some fat gains.
Let's see the gains, baby~

'Thank you, Voice-chan!!!' He did not fail to notice the fact that his System panel seemed to be upgraded or something. It was way more organized now, at least in the Skills section.
But perhaps it was only natural. His Skills had been put in chronological order before, but that method of organizing clearly lacked aesthetics.
It was also very impractical, so the Wyrm couldn't help but tip his nonexistent fedora to the System.
'Now...' He took a glance at his Skill Points.
'200, huh...' His previous Skill Points were all used up to buy Magic Perception and MP Operation, so he was rather excited to finally be able to actually use them now.
'So... How do I even buy Skills?' I asked.
Voice-chan did not answer.
'Ok... How about... This...' The Wyrm muttered as he Appraised the Skill Points he had.
Then an additional pattern appeared beside his Stats.

'Eh... Ehh!?' Wait, Wait, Wait... Immortality... Immortality can straight up be bought!?
'And what the fuck is Species Creation...? Don't tell me becoming a God is such a commodity in this world...' He couldn't help but think in disgust.
'It makes sense for those Skills to be outrageously expensive... But some of these are strangely cheap...' There were some Skills that immediately caught his eye.
The ones named after the Seven Deadly Sins.
How could he not? A Demon on Earth will always be surprised when it meets another Demon. He had Greed, therefore those special Skills were like the flames to his moth.
Sadly, they were too expensive...
But Perseverance... Isn't that one of the Seven Heavenly Virtues?
Such a Skill should be diametrically opposed to the Sins, so the Wyrm wondered how the Skill was even available for him to buy at such a cheap price.
With an avaricious glint in his eyes, the Wyrm appraised the Skill.
『Perserverance: n% of the power to reach Godhood.
Expands the Holder's entire Divinity Field by several metrics. As long as the Holder possesses even 1 point of MP, life will be continuously maintained with 1 HP.
In addition, the W system is surpassed and the right to interfere with the MA field is obtained.
Part of the Seven Heavenly Virtues Skills Series.』
'This... Isn't this just a cheaper immortality!?' He asked in outrage.
He didn't buy the Skill, however... It just felt... Wrong. He knew the effects of Greed, he had figured it out, so he was getting really wary of these mysterious Skills.
Would Persistence make him even more emotionally dead? It made quite a lot of sense. The definition of Persistence is the prolonged existence of a goal, which would intensify Greed's effects even further...
Sure, this caution might be completely unwarranted, and perhaps Persistence had no negative effects due to its Heavenly persona...
But it was better to be cautious than die at the hands of a wolf in sheep's clothing, he thought as he instead bought the MP and SP Recovery Speed Skills.
Such Skills were vital for his survival... HP Auto-Recovery was less so since he had an impressive natural regeneration, but it was still quite important. So he decided to buy it at the next level-up.
『The Skills ~MP Recovery Speed LV 1~ and ~SP Recovery Speed LV 1~ has been acquired.』
Hell yeah, baby.
The Wyrm glanced at his surroundings, searching for any threats before falling once more into the erotic embrace of Hypnos yet again.
Perhaps he would gain a Rest Skill once he woke up, not likely though...

"Play Guadian Tales, it is seriously underrated." -Remark
Stone me, Daddy~
