Candidate skill

"Well, i think I've decided I'm going with aged to perfection"-Jack

[]And the reason host?[]

"Well, I thought about it in the sense that it will speed up what I want, which is civilization, so farmers will become more skilled and so will builders im not sure how it will work for leader or strategist. Maybe it will make their minds more adpet at dealing with their work, but either way, this will allow all may future raves to naturally thrive the longer they surive"-Jack

[]So why didn't you choose the others?[]

"I think that I could get something similar out of aged to perfection such as a doctor becoming more skilled and getting better at treating or healing wounds which would increase chance of survival"

"While as I said before, why survive naturally in an environment for an extra few minutes when you can invent technology. Or learn better magic to make homes or safe spaces in those areas"-Jack

[]I imagine this also aligns with your hope of staying ahead[]

"Correct system im hoping that if I'm right, everyone is on a similar footing now with the civilization candidates this will keep me in front of them"-Jack

[]And with the loyalty and pride they have for their selves its unlikely others can trick them to their side[]

"Well, not impossible. I mean, if there's a million, maybe a few dozen will be compared to the thousands of human who betray their country,religion,morals every year its much less than usual"-Jack

[] You're starting to make sweeping statements Jack, it seems you're settling in as a controller of mortals[]

"Nah, I'm just having to keep my morality book on the shelf for now so me and Nancy can surive this mess"-Jack

"I'll still try to see the humour in everything or else all I have is darkness"-Jack

[]Very interesting look at life host now. Are you sure you want this skill?[]

[]Yes/No[]

"Yes, I want this skill"-Jack

As soon as Jack spoke His race froze all across the lands while the rixis surroundings slowed down with them. The skill worked its ways through their bodies, bringing the most growth to those over the age of 10.

It was much more interesting to see thousands of rixis stop with those who were swimming in the water or laying with their partner having very odd experiences.

After a minute had passed, they gained control back, and celebrations began immediately, with most not knowing exactly what happened. But the older generation could tell what they were best at or did most they saw an enormous increase in skill and efficiency.

Those who found this out the quickest were the mages and warriors who felt as if they had got twice as much experience and knowledge in one go. Their thoughts were more stable, and their skills more refined and thought out.

It was like the small notes and signs they couldn't see before were right in front of their eyes. It could be as grand as a mage, figuring out how to channel a powerful spell to as simple as a hunter accuracy improving even by 1%.

"Hey, system, can I see my candidate skills? I just want to refresh my memory"-Jack

[]Of course host[]

[]Candidate skills[]

[]Pride for the pack:

Increases race's trust and pride for each other in groups, increasing efficiency and loyalty and lowering the chance to break codes.

Hunters life:

Makes race's better at being hunters and the lifestyle that comes with it.

Tribal force:

Your races will all start as a tribe and increase the speed at which they are created

Improved digestion:

This improves the extraction of nutrients and energy your races can get from the things they consume and decrease the waste, which increases the lifespan by 1 year.

Aged to perfection:

Candidates races will get better and more skilled at what they do as they naturally age. They will get a 1% increase from the age of 10 until their end. This will apply to whatever they take the most interest in at that time.[]

"Wow, it looks like a lot now. Aren't candidate skills meant to be rare?"-Jack

[]Well, host everyone started with 3, and you won one for saving the Blues, and everyone also got 1 for surfing this wave[]

"Oh, so really, I've only got 1 more, so not that crazy then"-Jack

[]Indeed, host candidate skills are more wide reaching and long-term skills and are for all your races while racial skills are specific to one race and more powerful in the short terms[]

"So would you say 1 candidate skill could be worth like 2 racial skills?"-Jack

[]It depends on the skills being used, but yes, I know for a fact you've been given a very good candidate skill and didn't pick an even better one[]

"What are you talking about which one?"-Jack

[]Unable to answer[]

"What!?...I mean I can't think of anything that jumped out at me, but who knows, maybe I'll get it again, and you can tell me"-Jack

[]Negative host[]

"Why are you being so weird?"-Jack

[]System shutting down for repair good day[]

Jack tried to talk to his system, but no responses came, and before he could think further, he realised he was no longer standing on the floor.

"Ha ha, yeah! That skill is excellent. Jack, all our warriors are much better now!. Soon they will be up to my standards, and the rixis will become true warriors of strength and skill!"-Nyx

Jack didn't even hear the over 7ft tall war god run over to him and throw him in the air while doing what seemed like tapping his feet.

"Let me down bloody red hulk!. I'm going to be sick!"-Jack

After making Jack do a complete 360 in the air, he was settled back on the ground as his stomach seemed to be enduring a tsunami.

"I thought I was a god. How can I still l feel sick and dizzy?"-Jack

"We feel thinks Jack just very specific things that have to do with us plus we're not robots we bleed the same as you"-Minerva

"I swear you guys just show up all the time. I swear you organise these things"-Jack

"Nope, we just saw that you got another cool skill and came to congratulate you!"-Renka

"A large congratulations Jack the rixis have another tool under their belt to succeed"-Themis

"Yeah, and it seems they're all testing out their improved abilities. I can't imagine the dreams that will be coming soon!"-Caer

"Well, thank you all. I don't know what happesn now, but I'm sure most of the hectic stuff is out of the way for now"-Jack

Jack then felt a strange hand on his head, followed by another on his knee and nose before he recognised those small hands.

"We did amazing Jack, we beat the wave!"-Ven and Van

"You very much did well done you wer fantastic"-Jack

"Can somebody tell a sister why they are being thanked when it's the guys down blow who did all the work?"-Nancy

"Hey Nancy, well, they all give their blessings and answer the calls of their priests when they can to guide or warn them. But we also played apart, even if not directly were all winners from this, including you"-Jack

"What did I do?"-Nancy

"Well, you guided and questioned us while also being their when we need someone to talk to as even gods can get stressed out"-Jack

"Not me"-Nyx

That was quickly met with a kick in the leg from Renka, and Nyx glared at her while she looked away, finding interest in emptiness.

"Well, thank you, Jack, and to what you said, i hope we can have some time to settle down and deal with everything we've gotten recently"-Nancy

"Sounds good to me"-Jack

"Don't worry, Jack, I'll compile a report on how everything is going it'll in your space"-Minerva

"Yes!"-Jack

"And then we'll have a 3 hour discussion on the topics in them"-Minerva

"Uhhhh"-Jack
