Separation

Shiro, after recovering with conviction, walked towards me

"I will become strong, go and take care of the egg, I will be fine"

Did she really want me to abandon her just like that?

"I am sure that I will find a way for us to get out of here, you don't need to risk so much…" I tried desperately to convince her

"No" her eight eyes looked directly at me "I will never be afraid again, I will never be weak again"

"But we can become stronger together!, like we were doing…"

"No, go away!" her red eyes seemed to look almost directly into my soul "If I stop being weak, I will find you"

"And… how will I know when you are strong?"

"When that… Aldaba dragon falls into my hands"

"Are you sure?"

-Yes, but… -she hesitated for a moment, but finally answered- "you also become strong."

"I will, I promise, but… you promise me that you will be fine"

Shiro stood still for a moment as if she had not expected that

"I… I promise, I promise that I will be fine"

Saying this she went in the opposite direction from where the dragon went…

She did not look back even once

I stayed there for a while…

Until I decided to return to where the egg was

Reflecting a little on the promise about becoming strong…

I decided to see the skills I could acquire

<Number of skill points currently in possession: 300. Number required to acquire the [Hope]: 100. Acquire skill?>

Yes

<[Hope] 200 acquired. Remaining skill points:>

<Mastery has reached the required level. [Taboo Lv1] skill become Taboo Lv4]>

Umm?

Three levels in one go?

<Condition satisfied. Acquired title [Ruler of Hope]>

<Acquired skills [Determination LV10] [Replication]> as a result of the title [Ruler of Hope]>

Well…

The next skill should be…

<Number of skill points currently in possession: 200. Number required to acquire the [Greed]: 100. Acquire skill?>

Yes

<[Greed] 100 acquired. Remaining skill points:>

<Mastery has reached the required level. [Taboo Lv4] skill become Taboo Lv6]>

This time it only went up two levels…

<Condition satisfied. Title acquired [Ruler of Greed]>

<Skills acquired [Appraisal Lv10] [Conquest]> as a result of the title [Ruler of Greed]>

<Mastery has reached the required level. The skill [Great Sage Lv7] become Lv9]>

<The skill [Appraisal Lv10] has been integrated into [Great Sage Lv9].>

…

Great Sage went up 2 levels?

Am I seeing right?

Leaving that aside these skills are too powerful…

But I only have 100 skill points left,

[LOVE] or [Sloth]...

I want both…

I need both, but at the moment I can only choose one…

Sloth is quite powerful because it weakens my enemies, to be honest that skill along with [Greed] make a good synergy…

Mmmmm

[LOVE] on the other hand… I feel like it could be useful, but I still don't think of any use in the labyrinth

Arghhh I'll choose this one and then see if it was a good idea

<Number of skill points currently in possession: 100. Number required to acquire the [LOVE] skill: Acquire skill?>

Yes

<[LOVE] 0 acquired. Remaining skill points:>

<Mastery has reached the required level. [Taboo Lv6] skill become Taboo Lv8]>

It seems that [Tabu] goes up quite a bit with those skills…

I want to raise it to the max

I mean it can't be anything bad…

And it's relatively easy to obtain

The more skills the better

<Condition satisfied. Title acquired [Ruler of LOVE]>

<Skills acquired [Degeneration LV10] [Strengthen Allies]> as a result of the title [Ruler of LOVE]>

Now to Hunt for experience points

Ruler Skills

Ruler Skills are unique skills that can only be acquired by one person in the world at a time. They are double-edged swords, since although in most cases they are not mentioned in their characteristics, they influence the personality and actions of the individuals who carry them.
