The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Maelis stood up and told Aiden to follow her, she looked determined to test if the restrictions on skills were also lifted.

Because if that were the case, Aiden could be anything and wouldn't have to focus on a single path like all the others, it would become a Jack of all trades capable of pulling the move needed at the moment.

Maelis was currently going toward their storage room which had some skill books that were not used by the members. The skills in the storage room were there for one of two reasons, the first one is that the members couldn't learn them because of the restriction or the skill limit, or the skill was simply too bad to learn.

After two minutes of walking quickly, Maelis stopped and took a right turn, and in front of her was a tall door that seemed to be made of a special material that seemed solid.

Maelis started touching random spots on the door and a clicking sound could be heard, she had opened the door.

'Is it a special code for entering?' thought Aiden.

"Alright Aiden, this is our storage room, I know it looks good, but that's not what's important. Choose a skill that you like here which can normally be used by a certain class to try to learn it."

The storage had fifteen or twenty skill books on a bookshelf, it was crazy to think that they possessed that many unused skill books. Most of them probably weren't great but it was still impressive. There was also, equipment that was left there, like swords, daggers, bows, and more. All of those weapons looked great

"I can choose whatever skill book that I want in here?" repeated Aiden, making sure he had heard her correctly.

Having a new skill was perfect for Aiden, especially before his second trial which was not even in an hour.

"Yes, fast we don't have all day since you are going to be summoned to the Otherworld soon right?"

Aiden hearing her say that made him check how much time left he had.

"You're right, I only have one hour before being summoned."

"Go, we need to find out before you leave. Don't you know the second trial is a lot harder than the first one and will at least take you a couple of days to complete, I don't wait to find out if someone like you who can ignore the system restrictions exists."

Hearing her excitement in finding out, Aiden quickly checked the details of the skill books in front of him.

There were all types of them, three were for mages, one for healers, two for swordmen, and many others.

But after getting through all of them, Aiden had made his selection of three skills for him to choose from.

Selecting a skill was very important and he couldn't rush this decision since he already had used one chance out of his five to learn a skill book. Knowing this, he took his time calming down not getting influenced by the emotions Maelis was projecting onto him.

It was now time for him to choose between those three skills, all of them were Green rated, it seemed blue rated skills were rare if even they didn't have one at their disposal.

'Maybe they already used them all," thought Aiden noticing that the only ranks of skill books they had were green and gray.

[Iron Fortress]

[Rank: Green]

[Restriction: User has to be of the Shieldbearer class.]

[Description: It is a great defensive skill that will make you into a literal iron fortress, your skill will become hard as metal. It will be much harder to penetrate it and harm you.]

[Cost: 4 Mana Points]

[Duration: 30 seconds]

[Cooldown: 15 minutes]

---

[Phantom Parry]

[Rank: Green]

[Restriction: User has to be of the Assassin class.]

[Description: Use it for counter-attacking. The Phantom Parry is a skill that will make you able to block any type of attack even the ones you cannot see. The Phantom Parry efficiency depends on the agility stats, the higher it is the better, it will work.]

[Cost: 1 Mana Point]

[Cooldown: 2 minutes]

---

[Swift Evasion]

[Rank: Green]

[Restriction: User needs to have at least five points in agility to perform the skill.]

[Description: Use the skill for evading and trying to flee, it is not a skill used to attack others. It will make you incredibly fast, making you able to flee. It can only be activated when fleeing from enemies.]

[Duration: 15 seconds]

[Cost: 3 Mana Points]

[Cooldown: 10 minutes]

---

Aiden had chosen three skills that were defense-oriented because he didn't want to have to stress about not being able to kill an opponent in a single strike and get hurt because of that. He wanted to make sure, he had at least a way to defend himself.

Looking at the three options he had chosen, he decided to discard [Swift Evasion] because it wasn't in his style to flee, he liked it more to fight opponents head to head.

After eliminating one of the skills, he only needed to choose between the [Phantom Parry] or the [Iron Fortress].

He started weighing which skills would make more sense to him.

The skill [Iron Fortress] was great because it could be used by Aiden to block some of the attacks coming at him for a whole 30 seconds which was quite long, but the thing that he didn't like about the skill was the cost and the cooldown that were quite high.

On the other hand, [Phantom Parry] had a low cost of Mana Points to use and it had a really short cooldown. However, the skill by itself wasn't as strong as [Iron Fortress].

Comparing the two of them, it was time for Aiden to make his final choice and he decided to take the skill [Phantom Parry].

Picking it up in his hands, it was now time to see if he would be able to learn it or not.
