Novel Full Chapter 103

I had gained three and new incredible Skills. They were not the craziest there could be, as I’ve heard that there are people with Skills capable of unleashing explosive attacks or storms, but these three Skills will aid in my overall capabilities to vastly surpass what a normal human can do.
I had chosen Hawk Eye to enhance my vision, Gifted Magic Apprentice to make my Intelligence, Wisdom, and MP growth even greater, while having an easier time conjuring magic, and then Heavy Drinker to multiply the effects of all consumable items, mostly potions and pills.
Their descriptions were short, but insightful.

[Hawk Eye: Lv1]
A Skill that grants the user the ability to have eyes similar to those of Hawks. Your sight is capable of augmenting towards a direction, being able to clearly see even from very far away. The distance in which things can be seen is enhanced over each level.
—–
[Gifted Magic Apprentice: Lv1]
A Skill for those gifted with magic. Your ability to grow your Mana, Intelligence, and Wisdom Stats per level is enhanced greatly with each level. You also have an easier time conjuring magic and forming and creating spells.
—–
[Heavy Drinker: Lv1]
A Skill that helps those that like to consume and drink. Your ability to drink items that can heal energies is enhanced, the effects of Potions, Pills, Food, and other things that recover energy or grant other special effects is doubled, and it increases by a percentage with each level.

Those were the Skills. I had seen them back then when I had just reached Level 1, and since then that I had been wanting to have them in my repertoire. Now that I have them, I think I can use them to grow stronger.
Gifted Magic Apprentice is like the opposite version of Robust Body, enhancing magic stats instead of all the other physical stats, then there is Heavy Drinker to double the effects of all consumable items, and then Hawk Eye for a better sight.
I glanced at my Status as a smile emerged on my lips.

Hm, Good. Although… I feel quite annoyed, it had already grown way too convoluted, it already takes three pages in the Grimoire to look at my entire Status… This is why I feel like these sorts of game-like systems are always flawed to become a mess.
I will not be looking at this again unless I level up again, so I don’t have to feel so bad, although looking at Eleanora’s Status is also my priority now that she had also leveled up to Level 5 with me and her Stage has been enhanced to Middle Stage.
Indeed, Spirits have the same Rank as your Spirit Orb, when your cultivation of spirit orb increases, the power of your Spirits skyrockets instantly, now, Eleanora is even stronger than before, and she… well, she’s obviously surpassing me in everything except magic by now.
But that’s good, in a world dominated by spirits, having a strong spirit that can protect you is a must, so having Eleanora being strong is the best possible thing that could happen.
“Level 5 really feels nice… I have truly leveled up a lot, my lord. But did you get any other gift like before?” she asked.
“I told you to not call me “my lord” before, Eleanora… And no, I didn’t got any other gift, so I only have the x5 EXP Card as the last thing I will get, I suppose this was just to incentivize my leveling quickly…” I said. “I have picked three Skills as of now, will you use your Stat Points and Skill Points? I can use them for you as well…”
“Oh, no, I will do it myself, let me see…” said Eleanora. She had grown quite independent and wanted to arrange her stats and skill points herself instead than letting me do it. I think it gives her a sense of customization to her own power which she seems to have grown fond of.
Eleanora continued being a min-maxer, as she had once more spent her Stat Points in Strength, Dexterity, and Agility, with a bit on Vitality as well. From the group of Skills she can pick, she chose two, both were 15 Skill Points each.
[Eleanora has learned the [Illusion: Lv1] and [Stealth: Lv1] Skills!]
She of course acquired Skills that can aid her at hiding and striking when the target least expect it, to be expected of Eleanora, she had grown more and more obsessed with playing the role of an assassin in battle, so these two special Skills fit her nicely.
The first one grants her the ability to generate small illusions that could deceive a target, something like tricks might become more effective and so on. Meanwhile, Stealth will allow her to conceal her presence even better than before, and even camouflage with ease.
With these two Skills and Shadow Sneak, she has really become quite the stealthy fighter.
