Chapter 4 4: Skills
She pushed the cart and placed it under the shade of a parasol on the rounded table. Then she took a sit on a chair beside me.
A young blonde girl in maid uniform arrived with a cart contains tea and snacks. Then she put the refreshments on the table. She brewed the tea expertly and then pour our cups. The strong aroma of the tea that reached our nostrils showed how she mastered the way of the tea.
"Please enjoy yourself, Mistress, Young Master"
"Thank you." mother thanked.
Then we enjoyed our drinks and snacks. Of course I can\'t eat those hard cookies yet, so I was served food that is appropriate for my age.
Now that I know how to use my mana, I tried to find a way on how to see my stats and skills. I imagined a status board that I often saw in games.
A translucent rectangular panel suddenly appeared in front of me.
(It looks like a status board in RPGs.)
By the way, it is invisible to others and they need your permission to see it. Written there are my numerical status and list of abilities. It\'s written like this:

_____________________
Whoa! What the check with this skills set?! Maybe I am asking too much from the goddess? I don\'t know if my stats are weak or strong in this world\'s standards.
I have so many skills. Some of them were bestowed to me by Goddess Prima like the Skill Synthesis. I learned some skills a while by controlling my mana.
But there are some skills that I didn\'t wish for or learned, especially this Ultra Skill Monarch of the Night. And what are these godly blessings.
I don\'t know what the other skills, too. Let us appraise these skills and blessings that I don\'t understand.

Ultimate Art - is the peak of martial arts. Each technique has only five attempts with two hours to restore each attempt. It consists of following techniques:
Absolute Severance - cuts any defenses like a hot knife against a butter. Can only be blocked by the defensive techniques of Ultimate Art if the defender has higher defense stat than the user\'s attack stat.
Divine Penetration - can pierce any defenses. Can only be blocked by the defensive techniques of Ultimate Art if the defender has higher defense stat than the user\'s attack stat.
Impregnable Fortress - Deploy a barrier around the user\'s body for five seconds and negate all types of attacks. Can only be penetrated by the offensive techniques of Ultimate Art if the attacker has higher attack stat than the user\'s defense stat.
Infinity Barrier - deploy an invincible shield around the user\'s five meter radius area for ten seconds. Blocks all types of attacks and only with the permission of the user can enter the area. Can only be penetrated by the offensive techniques of Ultimate Art if the attacker has higher attack stat than the user\'s defense stat.
Artemis\' Eye - each shot guaranteed to hit the target. The attack cannot be stopped until it hit the target.
_____________________
What the?! So, this is the power of Ultra Insti— er, Skill. Is the the power of guaranteed effects that I wished? What an overpowered skill to have!
Ultimate Art has overpowering techniques, so it cannot be use carelessly. It also has usage limit with two hours to restore an attempt.
Absolute Severance can be used by slash weapons like sword. Those defense techniques makes me and my surroundings invincible. Divine Penetration and Artemis\'s Eye combo on spears or arrows was so broken.

Monarch of the Night - when night comes, the stats the the user dramatically increase (up to 100% stat increase then gradually decline past midnight). It also improves the stamina and endurance of the user during intercourse. It consists of the following subskills:
Nocturnal - upon activation, the user gains night vision and removes all the drowsiness and exhaustion at night.
Crossbreeding - a skill that allows the user to have an offspring with different species.
Alpha Omega - a skill that allows the user to have an offspring regardless the gender.
Birth Control - allows the user to control their fertility. The user can also choose the gender and race(from one of their parents) for their offspring. Also get rid of the genetic disorders caused by inbreeding.
Hereditary - allows the user to inherit up to five of the user\'s skill to user\'s offspring.
_____________________
…What kind of skill is this? And how did I got it? Now that I think about it, I felt full of energy when I first woke up in this world. I\'m getting stronger and stronger up to two folds until midnight.
Alpha Omega is the reason why we were born despite our parents are both woman. Same-sex couples had to adopt orphan or abandoned children just to have a complete family. This skill can make the same-sex couples to have a child that had their blood, just like my parents.
The Birth Control can be use as contraception during intercourse. Also, the user had the power to choose gender and race for their child.
And I got this skill by inheriting it through Hereditary. Hereditary skill can have the user to bestow their abilities to the offspring. Rare skills should have to be inherited to someone to make it preserve for a long time.
With this ultra skill, you can give birth to powerful children that can even surpass their predecessors and then pass the baton for the next generation and so on. It can also be used to make your bloodline pure without worrying the problem of inbreeding.
Monarch of the Night is a skill that any person in power like the royalty and nobility want to get to have strong and competent children worthy enough to pass down the title.

Unique Skill
Parallel Profile - creates another profile with the same level inside the user\'s body. The user can freely distribute the 80% of user\'s total stat and select skills for each profile. Each profile had their own mana wavelengths and the user can change its name and hair color. Unlocked at Level 100 and new profile created for every 100 level.
Plunder - the user can choose and take a skill from slain opponents.
Skill Synthesis - skill that combine compatible skills to create new skills.
Computerized Mind - a computer is installed in the user\'s brain. It has multiple functions like calculation, data recording, unlimited data storage, scanner, 3d image generator, data receiver and sender, internet surfing, etc.
_____________________
Extra Skill
Inventory - can store items in a subspace. Has unlimited capacity and sorting function. The user can adjust the temperature and the time flow for each item. Cannot store living fauna.
Limiter - limit the user\'s level and stats by percentage. The unsealed stats were the only stat that the appraiser can find.
_____________________
Skill
Item Enchant - permanently enchant enchantable skills, techniques, and spells on items until the item break. Techniques and Spells had usage limit and cooldown depending on the level.
Magic Sense - allows the user to sense the quality and the flow of mana.
Thought Acceleration - increases the speed of the user\'s brain activity and perception. The speed varies with the user\'s AGI stat.
Parallel Thinking - creates another set of mind inside the user\'s brain. A parallel mind for every 1000 AGI stat.
_____________________
My Extra Skill Inventory is useful for carrying weapons,items, supplies, and luggage during travel. I can adjust the temperature for each item that I can use it as a refrigerator and an oven. Means I can roast skewers evenly without burnt.
All of my unique skills are convenient and good. Parallel Profile can transform me into different persona, although only had 80% of my strength. Even though I can change my hair color, my face isn\'t. So I had to cover my face to keep my identity hidden. If my identity exposed, it might cause trouble for my precious aristocrat family.
Like I said before, the combination of Plunder and Skill Synthesis was broken. I get a skill for every entity I kill, so I have to appraise every new monster I will encounter and ignore the ones that I already plundered. Taking the skill of every monster I killed was a pain in the ass, after all.
The skills to be synthesized must be compatible to each other for them to synthesize successfully. If I combine multiple compatible skills, I might acquire Ultra Skills. I wish I have a guide for what skills to combine.
Computerized Mind is really a computer in my head. I can take record and screenshot of what I hear and see. I can keep recording my whole life because I have no problem with my memory capacity. Should I record my mothers\' bare body while we were talking a bath? Noice.
With the help of Parallel Thinking and Thought Acceleration, I can answer every test in school immediately, if school exist. Before that, I need to level up and increase my AGI first.
The Item Enchant skill effect is permanent unless the item broke. The higher the level, the longer the cooldown. Talismans and Holy Swords were the products of this skill. I\'ll try creating consumable single-use paper bomb like in a certain ninja anime someday.
"Raphael, say ahh~."
(Ahh.) I instinctively opened my mouth as mother said that.
Chomp. I ate the cracker she offered to me. She fed me my snacks then wiped the excess food around my mouth.
"Fufu. Eat well so you can grow faster."
(Yes, mother.) I said internally as I am finishing my share. I\'ll continue my self-check later after I eat.
