[Skill Creation Route Quests][+]
The first class was Barbarian Champion, which gave access to the barbarian-like skill Berserker Form. This skill gave Nathan a slight upgrade on his stats and would increase his physical abilities. But in return, he would lose some of his control over his body.
The next skill was Self Mental Healing, an intriguing ability that healed Nathan of any mental damage he endured in battle while also blocking the drawbacks of his Berserker Form skill. This skill was interesting because it does not conflict with the Greed and Sloth effects of the Blessing. It\'s probably because the power of these two Blessings was too great to be affected by this skill.
Nathan mused, "It\'ll be intriguing to see how Berserker Form turns out when it reaches Tier 2. Especially after I finish the class quest and obtain the free skill, Bloodlust Empowerment. Combining Berserker Form with Bloodlust Empowerment could be very beneficial." He looked through the system\'s data with interest.
Luna excitedly replied, "Master, with the berserker\'s strength, you will be a formidable fighter. And with your many sets of skills too! I can\'t wait to see the big battles you will have in the future!"
Nathan inhaled deeply and shook his head. "Do you really find large-scale battles enjoyable, Luna? Do you think I\'m some sort of war-crazed maniac?"
Luna let out a laugh. "No, Master! I think it would be incredible to witness the strength you possess when all your skills are combined. It would make for a tremendous fight! I can\'t wait to see it!"
Nathan then took a look at the Treasure Hunter skill. First was Magic Detection, a basic skill that allowed Nathan to sense any magical entity nearby up to a range of 20 meters. The second was Greed Empowerment, a skill that provided him with five abilities depending on his Greed Meter.
"Greed Empowerment is a great skill, it gives me a speed boost, stamina regeneration and better durability. But when my Greed Meter reaches 70%, it\'ll cause a greed aura to appear, and it\'ll affect anyone around me," Nathan explained.
Luna gave a solemn nod, "That\'s true. Your Greed Aura could be really risky if it goes off at the wrong time. People are even killing each other to get the gold they think they\'ll gain from taking you out. Can you control this skill at all?"
Nathan shook his head, "Unfortunately, no. I can\'t control the amount of Greed I\'m feeling. But, discarding this skill would be a mistake, since it can deal tremendous magical damage at 90% Greed Meter. Although I have no control over when I have to use the skill, it would be dangerous if my Greed Meter reaches 90% in the wrong place and situation."
Nathan pondered Luna\'s question, "I reckon I\'ll have to figure out how to manage it better."
Luna nodded in agreement, "I understand. You don\'t need to worry, Master. If there is a risk of your skill having a negative effect on those around you, then it is okay for you to leave and keep your distance for a while."
Nathan\'s next class was Beast Tamer, which gave him three skills: Beast Companion Connection, Wolf Riding Empowerment, and Tamed Beast\'s Skill Replication. With the first skill, Nathan\'s bond with his spirit beast was strengthened, enhancing their mutual understanding. The second skill enabled him to ride his wolf and boost its battle potential. The third skill enabled Nathan to copy one of his spirit beast\'s abilities into his own body, with the effect varying depending on the Spirit Beast he copied from.
"I don\'t see any need to upgrade Beast Tamer\'s skills. The three skills it provides are enough for me. I could consider Skill Replication as an option, though that would be a last resort." Nathan then turned to Luna, "I think it will be good if I can replicate more skills from my spirit beast, but it\'s good to have a backup plan."
Luna nodded in agreement.
The next class was Flame Sword Warrior, giving him access to flame-related abilities such as Fire Cutting Waves, a long-range attack that damages all enemies in its path. His second skill was Fire Blade Aura, which added a fire element to his attack. Finally, his last skill was Remote Triggering Flame Blast, a powerful ability but one that was not overly practical due to the time it took to charge it before use. Nevertheless, the damage it inflicted was significant.
"Should I get rid of the Remote Triggering Flame Blast, Luna?" He asked.
After a moment, she replied, "It might be too complicated and difficult to manage. That sounds like a good idea, Master." She smiled at him.
Nathan considered this further, saying, "This skill has helped me defeat monsters far from my level. Maybe I can use it properly if I try."
Nathan glanced at Meriel. "Do you want me to help you, Meriel?"
Meriel was taken aback. She hesitated, then shook her head. "I can manage this myself."
He then took a deep breath. "Let\'s continue, Luna."
