Skill Creation in the Fantasy World

After leaving the guild building, the team went to a shop affiliated with their guild to rent a carriage with two horses, and the silent Eric took the reins of it.

Everyone took a seat inside the carriage as it moved on towards the gates of the city.

Showing their Id cards to the guard, they swiftly left the city and started their journey to Wuller Town.

Roven and Eric sat at the front of the carriage, just behind the horses, while Felix and Steve sat on the backside, staring at the city that was getting further.

"Steve, how far is this Wuller Town from here and can you tell me anything you know about the town for me?", Felic asked while looking around the forest they were going deeper in.

A few minutes had passed since they left the city, and the road was getting a bit rocky which was normal as there wasn't much development in the transport system in this kingdom.

"Well, the travel on a carriage will take around 3 hours to get there, which means its about 50 kms from here. As for what I know of the Wuller town.....", Steve put a finger on his chin as he tried to remember anything he knew of.

"It's a relatively close town to Edenmont City compared to the others, so there may be some influence of the many guilds from the city. Even the guild got the mission request from a local shop in that town which is under our control."

Felix nodded and continued to chit chat with Steve about many things as their lone carriage traversed under the shades of the tall and wide trees.

Some time later, Felix was feeling a bit too bored when Roven's voice called out from the front.

"Steve, Felix, we've got guests incoming."

With a cruel smile on his face, Steve tapped on Felix's shoulder and jumped out from the carriage.

"Guests?"

Felix furrowed his brows in confusion and peeked out towards the front road, where he saw a group of monsters were blocking their way.

Slowly a similar cruel smile formed at his lips, before he too jumped out of the carriage to not miss the show.

The four of them stood beside each other in front of the carriage facing the monsters, holding their weapons as Roven stated.

"Nothing special, just a bunch of kobolds at the 1st Rank. It shouldn't be too hard," he then turned to Felix and asked.

"Will you be okay, Felix? It's your first mission so it's alright if you stay in the carriage."

Shaking his head, Felix took out his shortsword from tbe sheath and replied.

"It's fine, I can use them to stretch my limbs."

His bold words made Roven and Eric raise their brows in wonder.

The silent yet hot-headed Eric made an arrogant smile and muttured.

"If that's so, then why don't we let you handle all of them?", he thought the boy was just talking and underestimated him.

Steve made a face as if he didn't like what he had heard.

It was not that he was worried about Felix getting hurt, but instead he too wanted some action from all the boring travelling.

"Really? That's great. Then here I go!", the moment Felix heard Eric's words, he was delighted and didn't waste anymore time before dashing towards the monsters.

"Huh wait- I didn't agree to this..." Roven was left speechless as he could only look at the arrogant Eric and the frustrated Steve, who had started to argue with each other and sighed at the trouble.

Meanwhile, Felix was analysing closely at the bunch of monsters that were also running towards him.

The kobolds were a monster race a bit similar to goblins in shape and size, just that they were reddish-brown in color instead and had two small horns on their head.

There were 14 kobolds in the group ahead, with each one of them wielding a thick wooden stick and a low quality shield.

'So they are kobolds huh, well here I go.....'

As all of them rushed to Felix, he activated the skill Agility Burst which increased his speed by a lot, and ran past all the kobolds before arriving at their rear.

The kobolds were a bit confused at the sudden disappearance of their enemy when a shriek from behind the group alreted them.

Felix now behind the monsters had attacked the last kobold and had separated its neck from it's body.

[You have killed a being higher than your own rank.]

[You have gained 10 skill points.]

Hearing the sweet chime from the system, Felix stared at the shocked kobolds with his glowing red ruby eyes and dashed forwards with a handsome smile.

'More skill points!!'

Despite Felix's charming smile, the kobolds who didn't understand the human's beauty standards, were not captivated by it; instead, they felt the primal instinct of a prey facing its predator, sending shivers down their spines.

Suddenly, Felix flashed in the middle of their weak formation, and started swinging his sword.

'Black Horizon Second Technique: Striking Blades!'

As if dancing on his heels, Felix moved about and striked his sword at the red line of weakness on the kobold's bodies.

[You have killed a being higher than your own rank.]

[You have gained 10 skill points.]

[You have killed a being higher than your own rank.]

[You have gained 10 skill points.]

One swing after the other, he killed the kobolds and when he felt a bit tired, he retreated using another Agility Burst, before diving right into their midst.

All this while, he had his passive skill Unanimity acrivated, which gave him a fresh and undisturbed mind.

On the side, Eric and Roven had their mouths open wide as they witnessed a Zero Rank boy killing dozens of 1st Rank monsters.

"Cheh, even I wanted to stretch my limbs...", muttered a sad Steve, who was squatting on the ground and staring boringly at the kobold's massacre.

[You have killed a being higher than your own rank.]

[You have gained 10 skill points.]

[You have killed a being higher than your own rank.]

[You have gained 10 skill points.]

....

After a few minutes, there were no kobolds standing.

Standing in the middle of all the monster corpses with a satisfied smile on his face, Felix jerked off the blood from his shortsword and sheathed it back.

Turning around, he asked curiously.

"What are we going to do with the corpses? Aren't they blocking the way?"

His question woke the boys up, who were still gawking at the scene.

Roven fumbled a bit for words before turning to Eric.

"Uh Umm, Eric you got it from here."

Rubbing his head while letting out an amazed sigh at the unexpected display of strength, Eric nodded his head and walked forward.

"That was amazing, Felix. Didn't knew you were that strong...", Eric spoke honestly without undermining him.

Even though compared to 1st Rank humans, monsters like goblins and kobolds were weaker in the same rank. Fighting against a dozen of them while being a rank below was nothing but extraordinary.

Raising his hands in the sky, Eric warned.

"Felix, it's best if you come stand behind me."

Nodding at him curiously, Felix walked over from the middle of the corpses and stood behind Eric with a confused face.

"What's he going do?", he asked turning to Steve.

The boy just rolled his eyes and replied mockingly with a shrug.

"The only thing he's good at..."

Felix wanted to ask what was that, but a loud shout made him face ahead.

"Fireball!"

With his hands in the sky, Eric shouted out loud and materialised a huge one meter wide sphere of reddish fire.

Throwing his hands forward, the fireball flew over to the kobold's corpses and engulfed all the bodies with fire which melted their bones and everything.

Staring at the blazing fire which he could feel the heat of, Felix widened his eyes in surprise before jumping towards Eric.

"Wow dude, that was amazing. Was that a mage skill? Wait- does that make you a mage?", he asked one after the other, as witnessing that magical scene of a fireball appearing out of nowhere made him feel excited.

'I mean who would'nt? That was fire for god's sake. Something that was essential for a human's survival!'

Eric got a bit restless when the boy asked him so many questions, but he replied with a proud smile on his face.

"Hmm you're right. I'm a Mage, so ofcourse I can do something like that."

With stars in his eyes like a child getting a lolipop, Felix impatiently asked.

"That's incredible! What other skills do you have? Can you fly?"

Steve walked over to answer that question with a mischievous smile.

"Like I said Felix, that's the only thing he's good at. He doesn't know shit other than that fireball of his."

Eric twisted his lips angrily at the mocking as he raised his hand towards Steve.

"Well why don't you try surviving my fireball then."

Moving his hand towards his sword, Steve took a stance and replied.

"Oh I'll be happy to do that."

Felix took a step back watching their rivalry, wondering whether they were going to fight now or what.

As for whether he wanted them to fight or not? Well, experiencing a battle between a swordsman and a mage was something that he hadn't witnessed yet, so he was a bit curious about it.

But it seems they had to battle next time as Roven walked between them and pointed towards the front road ahead.

"Sorry to break it you guys, but it seems we have more guests incoming....."
