Chapter 6

So it looks like my size won't change all that much and I will be even shorter than a normal human, which sucks balls, but at least I'm stronger than normal ones, so it's not all bad I guess.

Now onto the magic or dummies, because they went over a couple of terms I didn't understand, I open the book up to the index and search for the tutorial.

[Magical Energy - Magical energy is a living power source given to us by the goddess to change the world around us through supernatural phenomena. It takes the form of small blue particles in the air, and only those with the skill Magical Energy Sense at level A can see raw Magical Energy. Every living being on Asura has what most call a Magical Energy Generator in their body, for most people it resides right next to the heart but locations can vary based on genetics.]

[Magical Energy Generators - Magical energy cannot reside in the mortal body through normal means, so the goddess altered our bodies and now all magical energy is stored in a sphere of super-condensed magical energy that is connected to our souls. The Generator will do what the name implies it generates and stores a fixed amount of magical energy that can be increased through leveling up or training.]

[Magic Spells - Magic was the very first, created by the goddess before even the first angel it is a show of her immense power, and through divine grace she allows the mortal races to tap into their power. The way to cast magic spells is by acquiring the magic skill and after that, you need only say its name. For vague magic spells you need to say its name and then imagine an outcome, such as a fireball or fire spear, for the skill fire magic. And although Vage magic spells allow for much more creative freedom, named spells of the same rank hold a lot more power.]

So it was that easy, I flip through the book for a while, just going over random stuff until I see something that catches my eye.

[Skill stones - Condesed magical skills that were stored in magic ore. Skill stones can be used to acquire new skills that would be otherwise unlearnable. The way to use one is simple, bring it up to your chest and let it fly in and the skill will be learned and if you already have the skill then it will just level up, they take the shape of multi-colored oval-shaped ingots. ]

Hold on, I close the book and look at my pile, and I have 4 multi-colored oval-shaped ingots.

Ho~Ho? new skills for me?

I walk over to the stones and do exactly as the book said, for all 4.

=====================================

so one skill level up and 3 new ones, healing hands is self-explanatory, and Id assumes aura of fear just indices fear into my enemies, like a debuff or something. But Soul space? so my soul is now hollow or something?

Maybe it's like a training ground for meditation or something, or like a storage space. As soon as I thought of that the book in my hands shrinks down and goes into my body. Storage skill it is, I bring the book back out by just imaging it landing in my hands. I open it back up and go through just reading anything that looks interesting until I find another thing that I was looking for.

[Celestial Soul Weapon - A skill held only by a select few that allows them to bring their essence out into the form of a cosmic weapon. Not much is known about this skill as only 3 beings have this skill, the hero, the demon lord, and the Mini-Minotaur. What we do know is that the weapons all have special properties and are indestructible and invulnerable to all forms of damage.]

Wow, that skill actually sounds really powerful, so then why is it at X, isn't X like the weakest? Maybe my variation of the skill is just super weak or something. Meh, whatever. I close up the book and gather everything around then put it in my soul space, the armor wouldn't go in, seems like there is a limit so I took everything but their armor.
