Skill Creation in the Fantasy World

Sprinting toward the city, Felix remembered the mission that he had accepted from the guild.

"I almost forgot about that....."

He scratched his head and took out the mission scroll to look at the small monster drawn on it. Glancing at the drawing of a small white rabbit with a red horn, he kept it back and eyed his surroundings while moving on.

Sometime later as he reached the vicinity of the city, he finally found a bunch of those rabbits.

Bringing out his sword, it didn't take him much effort to take their lives and hang them all together with a rope he had brought.

He carried the few monsters and rushed to the city as the horizon slowly darkened, with three moons rising out in the sky.

Twenty minutes later, he could finally see the city walls. Jumping out of the bushes, he joined the other travelers on the main path and followed them toward the city gates.

His appearance was a lot different than when he had come out of the gates. Blood was scattered on various parts of his clothes making the other pedestrians twitch in fear.

But some of the people in the crowd raised their brow and nodded having thought that the boy must have gone for hunting monsters.

Felix didn't mind them all and continued walking, entering the gates by showing his ID card.

*****

In the Twilight Chaos Guild building.

Elsa was walking around in the same line repeatedly. Her steps hurried with her face deep in worry.

"Where is that boy Felix? I told him to come back before it gets dark.", her voice was laced with concern.

The sky outside had darkened with three moons reflecting their moonlight.

She glanced at the clock in the reception hall and saw that it was already past eight. If he was just going near the city gates and hunting the small animals, then he would have already arrived by now.

"Should I send a team to search for him or should I go there myself?"

Her eyes looked around the hall as she glanced at the other members who were leisurely sitting on the lounge, but suddenly a voice came through.

"Hey Sis, what's troubling you?"

Roven walked down the stairs along with his teammates and asked Elsa curiously.

She turned to look at him and his two troublesome teammates before saying in worry.

"It's about Felix, he had taken a mission to catch some small animals out of the city but he's not back yet."

Steve who heard that interjected quickly.

"Oh, so it's about Felix. I suppose he's taking his time hunting those monsters.", he said somewhat proudly.

There was a sudden decrease in temperature as Elsa released her pressure directly on him and asked with a cold voice.

"Did you just say monsters?"

The three of them jerked up and backed away a few steps as Steve raised his hands and spoke with a pale face.

"Umm.....about that.....I think....um"

He stuttered and realized he had spoken something he shouldn't have said after remembering what Felix was about to do there.

Elsa suddenly vanished and appeared right in front of him as she slightly floated above the ground and looked down on him with her frosty blue eyes.

"Tell me, where is Felix and what is he doing?"

Roven and Eric had already run upstairs leaving Steve, who gulped and trembled under her cold pressure before trying to answer her.

"That, he.....Felix had gone to-"

All of a sudden, the main door of the guild building opened revealing the slight moonlight that was shining behind the shadow of a figure.

Felix, who had just entered had a smile on his face after he had successfully sold the black staff at a weapon store and had gotten a bit rich.

He didn't think the weapon was useful for him at any moment now and bringing it to the guild building would make Miss Elsa doubt about what he had said earlier, so the only option left for him was to sell it which made him arrive back a bit late.

Steve, who saw that Miss Elsa's focus had changed from him to Felix, took the chance and ran upstairs without looking back. He silently prayed for the boy and cursed himself for ratting on him unknowingly.

The moment Felix stepped inside the guild building, he tensed up when he felt a tremendous pressure descend upon him that was much stronger than those Rank 2 monsters.

A silhouette appeared in front of him with quick speed prompting him to reach out for his short sword. But suddenly, a soft body tightly hugged him making him take two steps back.

"You rascal, where did you go? I was so worried about you..."

Elsa pressed her body against his while he was surprised at the close distance and could only stiffen up.

His heart started to beat faster only for it to jump when she pulled him by his ear and scolded him in an angry voice.

"Did you forget what I said to you? The nighttime is dangerous and you should be back before it, but here you are coming back this late.", She left the hug and looked him in the eyes with her brows frowning.

"Ouch Ouch, Miss Elsa. I got lost in the city and had to search my way through."

He rapidly came up with a lie and held her hand that was pulling him by his ear.

Elsa let go of his ear and hit his head with a chop softly before walking toward her desk.

"Enough, I already know you were hunting monsters."

His face changed as he hurried to follow her and stood at the desk. It seemed that she was not really furious when he had gone to do that.

"Umm, I caught those animals from the mission."

Removing the bunch of corpses whose blood had already dried and were tied hanging to his belt, he placed it on the desk.

Elsa looked at them and asked for the scroll which he gave her back. She opened the drawer and took out the reward before handing it to him.

"Deducting the price of the potions which was 1.5k for each, the four of them cost a total of 6k. And the reward of the mission is 14k, so here you go the rest 8k"

The potions had helped him a lot in the battle with none remaining, so he didn't feel bad paying for it.

He took the money and kept it in his pocket before turning to go back.

"Also, listen. This time I may have let it go, but you won't be able to go out of the city again unless you break through to Rank 1."

Elsa said as she glared at him who could only helplessly nod with a dejected face.

'I won't be able to gather more skill points now...'

Later, she let him go as she had work to do so he could only walk upstairs back to his room dejectedly while thinking about what to do now.

'Should I spend the remaining days meditating and training? But I won't be getting any more experiences before the war which will make me weak.'

He pondered about it and entered his room. Keeping the sword and money in the closet, he took off his clothes and went into the bathroom to take a nice bath and remove all the blood from his body.

After coming out, he felt his hunger rise to the peak as he didn't have lunch today so he hurriedly wore his clothes and went out to the dining hall.

Coming inside, he took a plate full of dinner and searched for a seat when a dark green-haired boy came into his vision who was deliberately dropping his head to look discreet.

Felix walked toward the table and sat nonchalantly, calling out to him.

"Hey Steve, I think we need to extend our training session."

The boy who was trying to hide twitched in surprise at the sudden approach and hurriedly apologized.

"I'm sorry Felix, I didn't mean to say that but it just came out of my mouth when Miss Elsa asked about you.....she must have beaten you right? I'm really sorry"

"Huh? Well, I kind of suspected you would do that but she didn't beat me or anything, just reprimanded me a little."

Steve's mouth opened wide at the preferential treatment, as he remembered how she had beaten the three of his team when they made any trouble. He shook his head and sighed in envy.

"Is this what you get for being handsome? There's no justice in this world at all, we ugly boys can only hope women don't hate us for being who we are."

"In fact, I could get many ladies to fall for me. The trick for that is to....."

The chatterbox seamlessly started his rambling without showing a bit of delay, but Felix wasn't in the mood to listen to his crap so he interrupted.

"Wait Steve, like I said earlier. We should do more training."

He raised his brow and asked.

"Are you worried about the war?", he had guessed it right.

"I mean I've never taken part in it and I don't know anything about it, so I wanted to train and get stronger as much as I could before taking part in it."

Steve nodded hearing the reason for his unease and suddenly his eyes lit up thinking about a way to get stronger quickly.

"I suddenly got a nice idea to grow strong quickly but it'll be a bit dangerous. What do you think?"

Felix frowned at his answer and thought for a second.

'The war takes place in about 18 days and I'll be able to participate only if I reach Rank 1. The usual meditation and training are not proving to be able to do that either, then whatever idea he is saying may be the only way for me to get stronger now.'

With a determined gaze, his serious eyes met with Steve's excited eyes.

"And what's that idea of yours?......"
