Skill Creation in the Fantasy World

Chapter 15: New Skill and Information.

'System, create the skill Flashback.'

Felix hopefully asked the system after he imagined the uses and the applications of the skill.

[Processing the skill's power scale....grading the skill....estimating the possible points required.....skill successfully moduled.]

[Ding!]

[Skill Name: Flashback

Description:

Lets the user see and hear into the past by touching a person or an object.

Cost: 300 skill points]

'Damn as I guessed it's not something I can create at the moment.'

Felix grimaced at having only 10 skill points. He looked around trying to find a solution before curiously asking the system.

'System, for this skill, can I reduce the skill points by adding limitations and specific rules?'

[Yes, the host is allowed to change the description as he wishes. Later, the system will grade it and give it a price.]

'If that's so, then...'

He thought again for a few seconds and changed the description.

'Add a limit so that the skill can only be used once on something and only one minute of the past is shown from a specific moment. How much will that reduce the skill points?'

[Processing the skill's power scale....grading the skill....estimating the possible points required.....skill successfully moduled.]

[Cost: 40 skill points.]

'Nice, now one more limit. Hmm, yes. Remove the ability of 'sight', only hearing it is enough. Show me the skill now.'

[Ding!]

[Skill Name: Flashback

Description:

Lets the user hear the past of any person or an object after touching them. The skill's duration is 1 minute for the part of the past that the user desires to hear and it can only be used once on anything.

Cost: 10 skill points]

[Do you wish to use 10 skill points and create the skill 'Flashback'?]

'Is there a need to ask? Of course yes!'

[Ding!]

[Successfully created a new skill.]

After finally creating the skill, Felix closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and placed his hand on the sofa he was sitting on. He considered what kind of past he wanted to hear before calling out.

"Flashback."

After activating the skill, he felt his mind buzzing like that of a static television sound.

"Bzzzzzzzz...bzzzzzzzz...bzzzzzzz"

Slowly, the sound died down and he could hear faint voices inside his head.

"We can complete this mission. It's relatively easier than most of them as we only need to visit two cities in the Sephila Kingdom.", a deep voice said.

Another voice that seemed energetic sounded replying to the first voice.

"You're right. The Sephila Kingdom is about 6 days of travel away on the east from our Drakovia Kingdom and considering we're at Edenmont City, located in the eastern part, it'll take us around 2 and half a day of travel using a carriage."

The deep voice that seemed to be the leader of the squad sounded again.

"Among the four of us, you three are Rank 1 warriors while I am a Rank 2 warrior which is sufficient for us to complete the mission."

"All we gotta take care of is to hide our identities when doing the mission and not alert the other guilds from the great cities."

The other three murmured in response as they seem to agree with what their leader said.

The voices then stopped as Felix opened his eyes and grinned as the skill worked just like he wanted it to.

'So this the Drakovia Kingdom and there's another called Sephila Kingdom on the east side. Hmmm, and Edenmont City seems to be located on the eastern side of the kingdom. But what does he mean by the great cities?'

Still having many questions, Felix sneakily looked at the others before slowly sitting on the sofa behind him. He needed more information about what the great cities were. So, placing his hand on the sofa, he again activated the skill and heard a different conversation this time.

Opening his eyes, he nodded at the information that he got for the second time.

'So, when the number of strong guilds in a place reaches a certain threshold, that place will be called A Great City. And in this kingdom, there are altogether 9 Great Cities including Edenmont City. Other places are called just towns and villages as they have less influence and strength compared to these cities.'

Felix placed his finger on his chin as he wondered.

'But what makes them so special is that there seems to be a Chamber of Guilds in every Great City where the leaders of the top 10 guilds rule and make the laws and regulations relating to the guilds matters.'

'In Edenmont City, Twilight Chaos Guild stands at the top 5 among all the 24 guilds present here. With both allies and enemies among the guilds, it has a decent reputation in the City.'

'8 of the Great Cities have a Duke of this kingdom keeping a watch over it while the strongest of the cities, which is The Royal Capital has the King himself.'

Felix organized all this information in his mind as he finally came to know more about this world. Even though he couldn't get much information about the outside of the kingdom, it was enough for him at the moment.

"My my, you seem to enjoying your time here..."

Felix got surprised at the alluring voice that made him break out of his thoughts. Looking up, he saw that Miss Elsa was looking at him with her flirty eyes giving a mischievous smile, which couldn't help but make him blush.

"Oh, M-Miss Elsa, how are you doing?", he blurted out slightly nervous looking at the beautiful yet seductive receptionist that seemed to like making kids embarrassed.

"I'm doing fine Felix, thank you for asking", she chuckled seeing his shy expression, and asked back.

"Let's get to the point and discuss the matter of you joining the guild, shall we?"

Felix looked back at Noah and the others and saw them giving him a thumbs-up while grinning, he smiled at them and waved his hand. Turning back to the receptionist he took a deep breath and nodded at her question.

"Yes, Miss Elsa. Please let me join this guild!"
