Grimoire

After packing up all the necessary things I would be bringing for a month-long stay in Hephaestus Familia, I glance at the grimoire on my bed.

Unlike those Grimoires that can only give a specific spell, this Grimoire unlocks the users' potential towards magic, granting them the most optimum power base on their beliefs, desires, personality, and the user's fighting style.

Normally this grimoire can only be obtained with great difficulty, the price aside you need to have a connection to buy this one.

That's why I would be abusing my Kage Bunshin again, similar to the development bug.

Different from normal Kage Bunshin my clone is a true copy of mine, I don't know if it is because of my skill True Copy or is it because I used my mind and soul as a fuel instead of the conventional chakra.

Anyway, If it can as even duplicate the complicated Myriad Manifestation Umbrella and my god's Falna then I am confident that a catalyst like this Grimoire can be copied too.

While holding the Grimoire I summon a clone for him to undergo the process of obtaining a skill.

-----

I opened my eyes and a question enter my mind

-What is Magic to you-

"Magic bends the reality to achieve my goal"

I can't seem to control anything

It's like watching my dream on a screen

-What kind of Thing is Magic is to you-

"Change, because to be perfect is to change often "

I am sitting on an expanse of endless white

And the voice sounded inside my mind

-What do you seek in magic-

I smiled even without knowing

What a stupid question

"Perfection"

----------

My clone instantly dispels that I nervously thought that it failed, but when I received his memories it seems I succeed.

I look at the grimoire in my hand and confirm that nothing changed, it seems I am right. I can spam learn a spell by using my True Copy skill.

I summon another clone to check my new skill, I learn how to read hieroglyphs in exchange for following my gods' whims.

----------

•Correxion:

-While activated any mistakes are corrected and then retained.

-------

Huh? Isn't this very helpful?

He dispels his clone and then proceeded to activate the skill.

But nothing changed until he hears his bone creaking and the level of his view changed.

His hair becomes fine and silky

His skin became rosy

And his center of balance was restored after years of forging.

Even his breathing became subtle and his senses became better.

All defects and hidden injuries he received were healed and he never felt so healthier before.

The only problem he saw is he has is his looks became androgynous, if not for his sharp features anyone would mistake that he was a girl.

If his last update forces his body to adapt to his new-found power then these changes fine-tune it to perfection.

He felt a good chunk of his mind is expended, it is similar to what happened when he summons a clone, but instead of using half of half of his mind, it only occupies a fixed number of it.

After leveling up, his mind was more than just doubled and this much of expenditures just show how costly it is.

It seems I can't learn new magic with how much this Correxion consumes my mind.

After checking my body I produce 3 clones for my nightly dive, if I summon more then they won't last that long.

I can guess they have at least 8 hours while using Correxion, if they use any skill then that would be shorter.

---------

While running inside the dungeon I noticed my steps are getting quieter. For every step, I make my mind is consumed to correct my posture, body movement, and even breathing.

If every movement is calculated then I can only last for a few hours, what a very bad joke.

I deactivated my skill to conserve energy but as a surprise, it seems I still have the same movement even when I deactivated the skill.

It seems every mistake we corrected is retained to never be repeated again. What a very good joke.

High cost for high exchange

Now the only problem I had is my Myriad Manifestation Umbrella, if I can upgrade this weapon then I can increase its base damage and unlock new forms, but the item requirements are very harsh.

4 Goblin Fang

4 Kobold Nail

Jack Bird's Golden Egg

War Shadow's Finger Blade

Even with G in Luck we still lack the War Shadow's Finger Blade, that's why I will be raiding the floor six.

Jinx and Xin Zhao would be farming in the lower dungeon, as a level 2, it's already fine to be on floor 13 and below.

It is close to midnight that's why there's no other adventure around, the only time we can solo the dungeon, but I abruptly stopped.

There's something wrong with the surroundings there's no monster around even after descending for a few floors.

I tried to feel anything, ready to act in every possible situation but then a head rolls into the ground.
