How to terminate a stable orbit (2)

"...huh it's not cold anymore" waking from his meditative state and opening his eyes, he was quickly made aware of the blinding sunlight that was shining through the transparent sphere he was trapped inside, warming his body 'this is kind of nice.' he thought to himself as he closed his eyes again to feel the heat of the sun for a few seconds before he was greeted by Info

[good morning host, forced mana circulation program complete, host ability to use mana increased by 38%]

a little annoyed by the interruption of his morning sunbathing he greeted Info

"... well good morning to you too Info" momentary forgetting his current situation he tried the stretch his now no longer covered in frost warm body 'oh right...' feeling his body still immobilized by spikes impaling him his mood sank once more, until he remembered why he had fallen asleep in the first place and asked Info in a very excited voice

"so, Info can I use mana now?"

[yes]

waiting in even more excitement for Info to continue for exactly 5 seconds, he remembered how inflexible Info was

"...how do I use mana?"

[host only need to circulate your mana as the forced mana circulation program did]

"okay..." closing his eyes to focus, he started to feel his body while trying to remember the feeling of the warm current moving in his body for a few minutes until he felt something and asked Info with his eyes still closed

"...like this?"

[yes]

"so what now?"

[please focus the mana in your lungs]

"sure..." slowly moving and gathering what he amused was his mana from all over his body, he slowly felt his lungs getting warmer

[now exhale the gathered mana while saying status]

"status" as soon as the words left his mouth, some kind of mist followed out of his mouth and nose soon forming words he could understand

Active skills: [Dragon-flame magic lv 5] [Swordsmanship lv 4]

Passive skills: [Fire resist lv 15] [Commanding lv 3] [Mental reinforcement lv 5] [Pain resist lv 3]

looking at the half-transparent text that formed from the mist-like white mana he breathed out, he no Mars mumbled

"...so my name is Mars?"

[yes, host name is Mars]

ignoring Info's cold as usual voice he focused on his own name, as to burn it into his memory so he would never forget it again.

a few minutes later feeling greatly relieved and reassured by the confirmation of his own identity Mars started to ask Info

"...well there is a lot of things I want to ask, but first Info what the **** is a half-dragon human?"

[half-dragon human is the result of a female ancient dragon and a human male mating]

"...so my dad did it with a dragon"

[yes] feeling half in awed and half dumbstruck, Mars started to doubt his own knowledge but most of all his own understanding of the word: dragon

"...just to be sure an ancient dragon is one of those giant lizard things, with sharp claws 4 limbs and wings, that spew fire right?"

[yes]

"...well done dad" mentally saluting his dad for his extraordinary heroism (desperate) and brave (stupid) will to do the impossible (get 'some'), Mars shred a manly tear before moving to his next question

"... so Info, what is a title?"

[a title is a reward or a curse given to living gods by the administrator of Alfan for completing a certain epic accomplishment that is often specified in the title]

"so does the [Former living god of war] title have an effect?"

[yes the title [Former living god of war] makes the skills [Swordsmanship] and [Commanding] unable to degrade over time, from a curse or from injury]

"so those 2 skills can only increase in level?"

[yes]

"sweet! then what about the [Conquer of Salen] title?"

[the [Conquer of Salen] title is given all that have managed to conquer the continent of Salen and raises the ability to learn war and combat-related skills such as [Swordsmanship] and [Commanding] by a large margin]

marveling at the too first title's positive bonuses Mars look at his 3rd title and momentarily felt all his excitement disperse

"...so what does the [Tyrant King] title do?"

[the [Tyrant King] title is a curse given to all of Alfan's worst Kings, giving a major increase to all damage received from all inhabitants of the country the holder of the title is ruling over, and decreasing to holders Charisma status point cap by a large margin]

"... that is bad right? I mean the damage and the status point cap thing that is really bad right Info?"

[yes, it is a curse after all]

"...shit, well then I can almost guess the next one, but I will ask anyway Info what is the [5000-year prisoner] title?"

[the [5000-year prisoner] title is the confirmation of the time the host vessel have been imprisoned, and gives the [Mental reinforcement lv 5] passive skill]

"...so is the [Mental reinforcement lv 5] skill why I am so oddly calm despite the fact that I am slowly dying from asphyxiation?"

[yes]

feeling a little disturbed by a skills that had control of his own mind Mars stayed silent for a few seconds before he accepted it

"...well that clears up that, then what is the finale title the [living god] title?"

[the [living god] title is given to all living gods and has no effect]

"okay..." feeling underwhelmed by the missing effects of the 2nd most epic sounding title he had Mars looked on the next item on his status and asked Info

"Info what is a class?"

[a class used to define a living god for example: a living god of harvest will have the farming class and get a major boost to skills and status points related the farming]

"so can I select a class now?"

[yes, does host wish to see the class list now?] feeling somewhat tempted to see what kind of classes he could choose from he hesitated a bit before he eventually decided to keep gathering more information before deciding on his class

"...no let's do that later, tell me about status point's now what is the [900/1000] right after my Strength points?"

[the first number refers to the number of points in the Strength status: 900 while the latter refers to the Strength status point cap]

"you said that before right Info? what is a status point cap and how is it determined?"

[a status point cap is the cap of the number of status points the current vessel can sustain, the cap is determined by various factors such as: injury, titles, training, race and more]

"...well that clears that up, then what is the difference between active and passive skills?"

[active skills take energy or mana and time to activate while passive skills are always active]

"oh... then what does the lv after the skill name mean?"

[an active skills lv or level, shows how practiced and proficient a person is in a skill, shown like this: lv 1 beginner, lv 2 well trained, lv 3 expert, lv 4 master and finally the last level, that hardly any mortal can reach in their lifetime: lv 5 grandmaster also defined as when the skill becomes as natural as breathing, while a passive skill in theory has no cap and only rise in effect the higher the level]

"..okay" processing the large amount of information he just got from Info Mars started to ponder on how to overcome his current hurdle once more until a few hours later when his prison slowly got covered by the shadow of Alfan he finally had an idea

"well the first thing I should do is break theses spikes right?"
