CHAPTER 56(NEW SKILLS)

[DAMIAN'S PERSPECTIVE]

"Hey, guys, over here!" Someone called out. "Look, it's a campsite!"

"A campsite?" I replied in surprise. "Since when do monsters start camping?"

"I don't think it belongs to a monster," Sophie chimed in. "Even if a monster could build a campsite, it wouldn't look as good as this. This has to be the work of a human."

"Hmm...," I put my hand on my chin. "So we're not the only ones here. Let's keep moving forward and see if we can meet this person."

"We continued on our journey through the dungeon. With Valeria and Anya's help, the difficulty was reduced a lot. Even though her level was restricted by my weakness, her experience, masteries, and proficiencies were still there. For people at her level, the level difference didn't really matter - they had many things they could use to bridge the gap.

"This gave Lena a chance to cling onto me again, while Sophia watched jealously from the side, seemingly hesitant about coming to my side. But our moment of peace was short-lived, and it all ended when we reached the 79th floor.

By this time we were all level 40 and above, I was even on the brink of entering level 49 but that wasn't enough to clear this floor.

BOOM!

A sonic wave hit my previous location sending broken rocks flying everywhere.

SHIT!

Wait a bit, let's not go too far ahead, author. Rewind to how it started.

The 78th floor was different from the rest. When we entered at first, we almost thought we were teleported out of the dungeon until we looked around a bit. From the west to east was just one kilometer with walls on each side. We could only return to the previous floor or find a method of sea transport, which was nowhere in sight.

"Well, that's karma for you," Diana said, smiling bitterly.

We've been using Valeria and Anya to mow down the dungeon mobs and speed through the floors for the past three days, and now we finally ran out of luck.

"If only one of us had ice magic," I said.

"Ha, I got it!"

Lena suddenly jumped off my back and moved forward a bit before waving her hand and condensing blood from God knows where into a boat.

"W-wait, that's not possible. Where did all that blood come from?" Diana asked. Even David had a shocked look on his face.

Valeria and Anya looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Valeria and Anya looked at each other and burst into laughter. Valeria even went ahead and started rolling on the ground, earning her weird looks from everyone.

Aren't you more than 30 thousand years old?

F**king act like it!

"Why are you guys laughing?" Diana asked.

"Well, it's normal you don't know," Anya replied. "I'm sure even Damian himself has no clue."

She then sent Valeria a glare that made the poor girl choke on her laughter.

"When you hear 'Jack of all trades,' what comes to mind?" Anya continued.

"Err, he can use abilities from all classes."

"That's right, but what if I tell you that's not all," Anya smiled mysteriously. "The keyword there is 'trade.'"

"In exchange for not having any abilities, the creator can use the abilities of any of his puppets and avatars. The converter can use the abilities of anyone he converts. The ruler can use the abilities of her subjects. The controller... the enforcer..."

"But it doesn't end there. The trade also extends to beings affected by its power. In Lena's case, in exchange for not having any blood in her body, she can freely create blood, though it comes with limitations."

BOOOM!

I could almost swear I heard an explosion coming from Diana's brain. I was just as shocked, if not more shocked than her. Why didn't I know about this? I began to remember some things which I had forgotten. For example, Emma. On her status screen, there was no ki. The energy illustrated there was mana. If so, then where did she get all her ki from, and how was she so damn talented in the use of ki?

Jenna, too, was no exception. I researched about dragons and found out that no dragon had a damage nullification skill. They just had high defense stats. But Jenna was weak as a mage, but in exchange for that, her already high defense shoots through the roof with the damage nullification skill.

[DING!]

[CONGRATULATIONS ON FINDING OUT ONE OF THE MYSTERIES OF YOUR POWER]

[REWARDS: SKILL(TEMPORARY BESTOWAL), SKILL(EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE)]

[ NEW MISSION GENERATED: FIND OUT THE MYSTERIES OF YOUR POWER]

[REWARD: RANDOM]

[NOTE: GETTING HELP FROM OTHERS DOESN'T COUNT (⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕⁠)]

I almost fell off the boat upon seeing that. Did the system just wink to me?.

[DING!]

[THE SYSTEM DID NO SUCH THING]

I was brought out of my thoughts By David's awkward laughter.

"Hey, Damian," he said. "I know you only accept girls as your avatars, but we're bros, right? Surely you can make an exception for..."

"Absolutely not!" I interjected, not bothering to let him finish his words.

"Hahaha, chill, bro! I was just joking, you know," he said.

I ignored his laughter and went back to looking at the new skills I'd just obtained.

[TEMPORARY BESTOWAL(1 star): Other than the three borrowed skills you can give your avatars, you can also grant them temporary skills from any you have in your arsenal.]

[MANA COST: Varies]

[DURATION: 1 Hour]

[EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE(1 Star): For something of equal value, get access to skills & proficiency. Increase in proficiency allows wider variety of options to exchange for]

DAMN!

I don't know what to say

Forget it, I f**kin know what to say!

HELL YEAH, THIS SHIT IS F**KIN AWESOME!!
