As Corey sat on a bed in a room in the male dormitory, he looked at his status window which had changed immensely ever since he left the planet where the old man was located.
His past self could not be compared to his current self at all. He was much stronger, faster, had more skills and better weapons.
In fact, he was so strong to the point that if he faced Kyle and his pets this time around, he would absolutely floor them. Well, that's if Kyle and his pets have not gotten much stronger like him.
Looking at his status window, he could not help but reminisce on how he got the several new skills and items he had.
The three skills the old man gave him, although were not offensive skills, they were skills that helped him defeat all the tier 1 monsters in the dungeon.
The skill, Foundation Spear Techniques helped him to understand the basics on how to use a spear properly. How to thrust properly, how to hold a spear properly, the best stance to use when using a spear, how to swipe using a spear properly and also how to throw a spear to produce the maximum speed and force.
The skill was a skill that did not make him a professional spearman immediately but it certainly made him to no longer be a novice.
Since he knew that the skill was very important to him, he spent most of his time in The Library Of Records training according to what he learnt from the skill and he was able to make the skill reach level 5.
After reaching level 5, it was harder for him to make it reach level 6 so he stopped training the skill. He guessed he might need an opportunity to break through.
The second skill which the old man gave him was the Lightning Movement Art and this skill was an Ancient grade skill.
When Corey heard the grade of the skill, he had to ask the old man how skills were graded since he knew from the merchant that the Universal System disdained to grade skills below a certain level.
At first the old man was annoyed when he asked him since he was tired and the answer to Corey's question was not really a secret but when he remembered the fact that Corey was entirely ignorant about things like this, he sighed then told him.
The skills which the Universal System graded were skills that were either legendary grade, mythic grade, immortal grade, ancient grade then divine grade skills.
The old man told him that for him to use the Lightning Movement Art to it's full potential, he would need to be strong and also practice a lot.
The old man also told him that the lightning movement art is a skill that had five levels to it, instead of most skills which had a maximum of ten. Anytime Corey reaches the next level, he would gain a sub-skill which is more powerful than the previous sub-skill.
Corey was at the moment, only in the first level of the Lightning Movement Art and the first sub-skill he got was called Thunder Step.
Thunder Step was a step that increased Corey's speed by half and also releases sounds of thunder for every step he takes. This means that Corey's agility stat which was 1,000 would increase to 1,500 whenever he uses the skill which was a major increase.
The part that made Corey realize how powerful the ancient skill was when he realized that if his agility stat was let's say 100,000, the skill would increase his speed by half which meant his speed would now be 150,000.
The skill was the definition of powerful in Corey's eyes and it made him wonder what the remaining four sub-skills would be like.
Now, although the Lightning Movement Art was powerful, the Mana usage was something that made this skill to only be used once in a while.
The Mana usage was 100 Mana for every second the skill was kept active and with Corey's 1,000 Mana stat, it meant that Corey could only use the skill for 10 seconds.
Corey was a little bit disheartened when he realized that but he knew that as long as he got stronger in the future, he would be able to maintain the skill for a long time.
The last skill the old man gave him was Vibration Manipulation.
Before Corey absorbed the skill crystal, he thought the skill would give him the ability to manipulate vibrations like the name of the skill and well… it did in a way.
The skill actually taught Corey how to use vibrations to cause damage to living and non-living things after he makes physical contact with the being or thing.
For example, when Corey practiced the skill on a rock which was his height in The Library Of Records, he was able to cause a lot of cracks after punching it.
Corey then tried it on the recorded monster which he killed by putting the Late Smile Reaper 2.0 into his asshole.
'May the soul of Smile Reaper 2.0 rest in peace.' Corey thought then continued his reminiscence.
After trying the skill Vibration Manipulation on the giant monster, it trembled immensely and even coughed out blood.
Corey was shocked at that point in time because he did not use his full strength on the monster since if he did, it would die straight away.
Corey seeing the effects of the skill knew that the skill truly had potential as the old man said, so he trained using it.
He wanted to make it that he could apply the skill even when using it on a weapon and surprisingly, it worked after practicing it repeatedly with the ancient spear.
But when he was practicing, he realized that if the weapon was not strong enough to handle the vibrations he released, it would get destroyed and luckily for him the ancient spear was a spear that was very hard and in fact almost indestructible, not only was it almost indestructible, it could heal itself overtime.
It was also after he was able to accomplish that, that the skill upgraded to level 2 granting him more finesse and control when using the skill.
Apart from the three skills which were given to him by the old man, the old man also gave him another crystal, a skill evolution crystal.
When he wanted to use the skill evolution crystal, he was conflicted between using it on Record and Focus.
This two skills were honestly his most important skills and were the skills which had saved his life more than once and made him reach where he was today.
After much deliberation, Corey decided to use it on Record.
Record was his main way of him gaining combat experience without risking his life. Not only did it grant him combat experience, it also had various other uses which he could think of.
After Corey used the skill evolution crystal on Record, he expected it to be painful but surprisingly it was not, it was even pleasurable and moan inducing.
Corey remembering how he groaned in pleasure and even had a boner during the process covered his face in shame. Luckily for him, he had already left the old man's place and was back in New Earth.
Anyway, after recovering from his embarrassing situation, he checked the new description of the skill and he was absolutely gobsmacked and delighted with what he saw.
Record previously was a skill that could analyze the abilities of any living being as long the difference in tier between him and the living being was not greater than 1.
But now, Record could analyze the abilities of any living being as long as the difference in tier is not greater than 2!!
Which meant that Corey right now could use Record on Tier 2 creatures!!
Which also meant that Corey could use it on the Tier 2 creature at the academy gates!!
Corey was so ecstatic to the point that he started dancing a very embarrassing dance when he realized that.
Though after he calmed down his excitement, he thought about it and still did not plan on facing the Tier 2 creature alone since the old man warned him that he would definitely not be able to defeat alone.
Although he was not planning on fighting the tier 2 creature, he still had other plans with his Record skill.
Corey at first thought that the increase in tier difference was the only result of the skill evolution crystal on Record but after going through the description, he realized there were two more changes and one really made Corey speechless.
The first change was that the speed of the analysis of Record had increased, not only that, to record a being or beings who were lower in tier than him, he only needed to look at the being or beings once and they would be fully analyzed by Record.
Although this change looked lackluster compared to the first change he noticed, Corey still appreciated the ability.
Now the last change was what really made Corey speechless and stunned especially after he experienced it.
The last change of Record enabled Corey to fight the best version of himself.
The Recorded Corey or let's say Corey 2.0 would have all his skills, current levels of his skills, items and abilities, the only thing it would lack was emotions.
Corey at first did not understand how powerful the best version of himself was. He thought since the level of their skills was the same and they were practically the same, he should not be far from the best version of himself.
Right?
Wrong!
Corey only lasted five seconds against himself.
FIVE SECONDS!!
Corey was utterly defeated and humiliated in the first match. In fact, he was so stunned that when he got out from The Library Of Records, he was rooted on the spot for at least ten minutes.
Corey realized that he was no where near the best version of himself and because of that he spent a few days training and fighting Corey 2.0 increasing the time he lasted to seven seconds without him landing a single hit on Corey 2.0.
Corey was utterly depressed and knowing that although training with Corey 2.0 would improve his combat experience if he persisted, it was not worth it at the moment since he only lasted for seven seconds.
What was he meant to learn in seven seconds.
He was just defending, defending, defending and defending.
Did he want to be a defender?
Because of that, Corey stopped fighting Corey 2.0 and decided to fight against the remaining tier 1 monsters of the dungeon which was where he encountered some weird and dangerous situations and also got more skills and items which made him stronger.
