One-Night Growth

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the roosters had started their daily orchestra early in the morning…

"I'm too tired because I skipped my sleep. *Sigh*"

Rio heaved a tired sigh as he climbed down his bed and walked up to the dresser with a mirror on it. When he stopped before it, he looked into his reflection and saw his face, which was full of exhaustion. "I need to get rid of this exhaustion because today will be the first day of training with the knights and court magicians," Rio mumbled under his breath before closing his eyes. He then flipped the switch in his mind to turn on his Skill Creation.

After his Skill Creation was triggered off, he wished for a skill that could get rid of his exhaustion. And the next moment, he sensed the sign of the skill's created. What left was to check it using his Self-Appraisal.

If you see Rio's stats, you must feel curious about their sudden sharp increase until they rival the stats of certain stupid hero who slept in another room in the same castle Rio was located. Furthermore, his Magic was not filled with 'Error' anymore and there were stars after his stats value.

The reason behind this change was Rio's Mana Conversion skill. His mana was passively enhancing his other stats, but since his Magic was affected by Nine Seals derivative skills, he could only release his mana up to enhance his other stats value passively and leaving enough mana to be quantified into 100 points of Magic value.

As an aside, Nine Seals was certainly a name with eight grader syndrome flavor, but this skill was actually very useful. At this point, all nine seals were sealing Rio's magic generator, leaving it with small leeway to leak out magic juice to raise up his other stats by 100 and set his Magic to 100. With this skill limiting the output of Rio's perpetually generated mana, he didn't to be scared that his mana would slip out of control in anger — because Absolute Magic Control was still flawed and in extreme emotional state, he would just unleash his magic indiscriminately — and destroyed the whole continent in an accident. This world only had a single mega continent, and if he accidentally destroyed this continent, this world would be inhabitable for everyone but aquatic monsters, devils, and Dagons.

When Rio released the first seal, his stats would get raised by 1000. With every seal released, his stats will get additional zero in their value, and it continued until the eight seals, which allowed him to have 10,000,000,000 stats value. When the ninth seal was released, Rio's magic generator would release his unlimited mana in full throttle. Simultaneously, his unlimited mana will be conversed to unlimited stats value for his other stats, giving him unlimited stats.

In short, Rio was already an illimitable monster, but he wouldn't be able to control that power unless he created a skill for it, which can be created at any time. He was just procrastinating!

Other than those interesting tricks, he also created some skills like Elemental Magic Affinity and its derivation. And this skill included all seven known elements in Tortus — Fire, Water/Ice, Lightning, Wind, Earth, Light/Holy and Darkness. For the derivative skills, the name itself was enough explanation.

The rest of the skills were also easy to understand since their names gave out what they would do. There were also the skills Rio had shamelessly ripped off of a certain blond-haired vampire — Auto Regeneration and its derivative skill — and a certain rabbit girl — Clairvoyance to see a few seconds in the future and a random vision in a far future when the skill triggered off.

For the Mastery type skill, there was a Transcended appendage in their names, which meant those skills gave Rio's correctional effect up to the level beyond humanity's limits. And what kind of concept was that? Have you ever read Fate/Apocrypha novels, or watched the anime adaptation? Anyhow, there was a character called Saber of Black, whose true identity is Siegfried from Nordic Myth. Yes, that Siegfried who slew evil dragon Fafnir.

It was stated that Siegfried's swordsmanship had achieved the realm beyond humanity's limits. Now, imagine that kind of skill but in handling all weapons and armors and in unarmed combat instead, and so you got the true worth of the Mastery type skill with a Transcended appendage in their names.

Basically, Rio had the knowledge and experience to use all weapons and armors and fight unarmed with the skill beyond human's limits. In short, anyone who fought in close range against Rio is f*cked with capital 'F'.

Furthermore, Rio had even recreated some special magicks from Arifureta canon materials like the magic of Seven Liberators — because frankly, he deemed them overpowered and must own as soon as possible. Other than those overpowered seven magicks, he also recreated Power of Destruction of Bael Devil Clan from High School DxD franchise. For Imagine Breaker, it was a skill that nullified all magicks. Basically, it was a copy of the true Imagine Breaker of Touma Kamijou from A Certain Magical Index series. Lastly, there was Anti-Possession, which strictly speaking, Rio created it to be a contingency against Ehit when they set their eyes on him.

Anyhow…

Back to the new skill Rio had just created. He had created another derivative for his Mana Conversion. If you look at his status above, you would see starred derivative skill — Stamina. It was the skill that would converse his endless mana into stamina to get rid of his exhaustion.

Since his Mana Conversion had Passive Conversion derivative skill, he didn't need to trigger it off manually. Rio could feel his mana recharging his cells, his exhaustion dissipating quickly. And in a span of a few seconds, Rio felt refreshed as if he just woke up from a deep sleep.

Rio checked his reflection in the mirror and nodded his assent. He didn't seem like a sleep-deprived person anymore. Afterward, Rio decided to get a quick shower and then went for a quick stroll around before the time to meet up for receiving status plate arrived.

When he entered the private bathroom that connected to his personal room, a question related to his latest skill flashed in mind.

'Will not I am able to get tired after having sex if my unlimited mana converses to stamina all times?' Such a crazy thought popped up in Rio's mind and he couldn't help but feel very curious and wish to find out the answer. Too bad, he had no partner to find out the answer for his intriguing question.
