Chapter 5: Chapter 5 – Berserker Form

“Create a new skill!”

A new system window appeared in front of Nathan.

[Create a New Skill]

[Please describe the general idea of ​​the skill you want to create.]

[____]

[Select Tier: _]

[Cost: _]

[Create the Skill!]

“Huh? What is this?”

“Ah~ Ah!” Luna floated closer to the virtual window. 

“See, see… Master Nathan. This system is very sophisticated, isn’t it? You only need to write an idea about the skill you want, choose the desired tier, and the price will automatically appear here.” Luna pointed to several spots in the system window.

“And then, the system will adjust the final skill based on several considerations.“

Luna ended her explanation by jumping to the side and throwing a fist into the air.

“Let’s go… Let’s get started…!” 

Luna repeatedly giggled and raised her hands together, explaining with a sincere expression.

“Wait, Hmm. What kinds of considerations will the System take?”

“Hummu, hummu. It’s like this, so~ every skill created will be balanced between gains and losses. The higher the gain, the greater the draw-back. It depends on the user’s condition and the tier of the skill. Humm…. How can Luna explain it more simply-”

“Okay, Okay.” Nathan nodded slowly. He crossed his arms, “So, if the skill I'm about to make has an effect that exceeds its tier, then the system will put some draw-back that will offset the value of the skill itself, is that right?”

“Correct!” Luna answered cheerfully. ”Come on, come on, Master Nathan. Luna can’t wait anymore….”

“Wait, wait. Please explain to me first about the route quests.”

“Ough! That’s right. Luna hasn’t explained this part yet. Okay. Can Master summon the route quests window?”

“Okay, Route Quests.”

[Skill Creation Route Quests]

[Barbarian Champion 1/10]

[Barbarians gained insurmountable bravery and an almost inhuman set of abilities derived from rites of passage and special training. Fight fearlessly, face anyone who stands in your way, and make those who see your presence run in fear.]

[Create 2 skills related to this category.]

[Rewards:]

[-> 50,000 Skill Points]

[-> 1 New Skill Slot]

[-]

[Treasure Hunter 1/10]

[Treasure hunter, someone who specializes in finding and recovering valuable treasures and artifacts. They possess the skills and abilities required to find a treasure of all kinds and exhibit many qualities such as bravery, tracking skills, and extreme luck.]

[Create 2 skills related to this category.]

[Rewards:]

[-> 50,000 Skill Points]

[-> 1 New Skill Slot]

Nathan was slightly surprised by the amount of information suddenly appearing in front of him. 

“Are these some quests that reward me with skill points and slots?”

“Correct~ There will be a lot~~~ of route quests that Master can unlock in the future. All these quests will be exciting and fun to do too. Master Nathan only needs to complete all the quests, and there will be a lot~~~ of rewards that Master will receive. This is so~~~ much fun. Just imagining it already made Luna feel excited.”

“Okay, Luna.” Nathan smiled at Luna's lengthy explanation.

He tried to re-analyze all of the descriptions from the quest. 

“It takes two skill slots to complete the first quest that only rewards one skill slot? I guess the next quest will no longer ask me to do the same because if it did, I would run out of skill slots before I could complete all the quests.”

“Correct! Master Nathan could create any skill he wanted, but it would be better if Master followed the given quests. Because it will be more profitable in the long run.”

Nathan nodded. “Do you know why it had to be the Barbarian Champion and Treasure Hunter for two first routes, Luna? And do you know how to unlock other routes?”

Luna adjusted the position of the glasses on her face. “The way to open another route is, Master Nathan only needs to create any skills, and if the skill is related to one route, then that route will be unlocked. And why Barbarian and Treasure Hunter… Hmmm,” Luna stopped and tapped her lips with her index finger. “Hmmm… I think… Because that is the best choice for Master Nathan?”

“Can't you just tell me that you don't know if you really don't have the answer to my question, Luna-Sensei?”

“Ehe he. Actually… Hmmm, yes! It seems the information hasn’t been updated in Luna’s head..”

“Okay then, let’s try to create our first skill.” Nathan stood up and walked to the center of the room. He stood still and seemed to think.

“Yeay...” Luna jumped and returned to her original appearance. The AI ​​girl sat on the crescent moon that suddenly appeared nearby and floated to follow where Nathan was walking.

If Nathan really wants to use the resources he has optimally, he should follow the rules given by the system. He wanted to create more freedom skills but couldn’t be careless. Moreover, he has a limited skill slot for now.

The tier on the skill is obvious as it shows how vital it is. And in his current condition, which is still at level 1, he can only use tier 1 skills. Until later, he reaches level 50 and can use tier 2 skills.

Nathan needed strength to make him able to level up quickly. He had to fight against monsters, and he also had to optimize the abilities he already had up to now.

Nathan had learned some skills with swords, arrows, and basic body combat. He needed skills that could sharpen and increase his fighting potential. 

‘What do I want in this world?’

Nathan recalled the memory of his mother that he had just gotten. He clenched his fists, and the emotion of anger re-emerged in his heart. 

‘I have to restrain myself.’

Nathan turned to Luna, “Okay. How do I write in this system, Luna-Sensei?”

“Cough, hmmm. Press here.” Luna pointed to a small button on the transparent window.

Nathan followed Luna’s orders, and a digital keyboard appeared in front of him. “Huh? Interesting. Why doesn’t this system support a voice-to-text feature? Isn’t this too traditional?”

“The system wants to ensure that the entire process is transparent without misunderstandings, so this method is the most appropriate, I guess?” Luna smiled broadly.

“Okay, then.”

Nathan reached for the digital keyboard in front of him, typing a few words. He repeatedly erased what he had written. After several tries, he finally stopped and looked back at Luna.

“Is this enough?”

[I want a skill that can increase my fighting potential, giving me a burst of strength, agility, and stamina. Make the increase as a percentage. Give my body a slight transformation and exchange my consciousness in return.]

[Select Tier: 1]

[Cost: 25]

“Wow. To think that Master Nathan could easily understand this system is amazing. But are you sure about swapping consciousness here, Master?”

Nathan was silent at Luna’s question. After some time, he answered her. 

“I am trying to consider associating this skill with the Barbarian Champion. And also, I want to get the most optimal outcome with only tier 1 skills I can utilize for now. And this is what I thought as a result.”

“Luna doesn’t really understand, but all~right. Master Nathan can press the button here, and the skill will be created soon.”

Nathan immediately followed Luna’s instructions.

[Barbarian Champion 1/10 progress: 1/2 Skills]

Nathan paid attention to the information about the skill he had just created. He nodded and smiled. 

“This is really what I have expected.”

“Woah. The 10% increase in Strength for a tier 1 skill is truly amazing, Master Nathan. And the potential of this skill will increase as the Master’s total stats increase too.” Luna clapped. “Congratulations, Master Nathan. Are you going to try it? Is Master going to fight monsters right away?”

Nathan shook his head. “Look at this part, Luna. I will lose consciousness if I activate this skill. And I don’t have an idea either about what kind of physical changes I will get in return.”

Nathan thought it was too risky if he couldn’t control the changes that would happen to him. 

“Okay, Luna. Can I directly increase the level of this skill? Or do I have to wait for it?”

“Master Nathan should feel proud because the system gives Master Nathan the freedom to update the level whenever you want.”

“Awesome. Okay, raise the level to the max.”

“All~ right….”

“Woah… Amazing. 20% increase in three types of stats. This skill is equivalent to tier 2 or even tier 3 skills. But, how does Master Nathan deal with the draw-back of this skill? Hmmm?”

Nathan smiled at Luna's question. "I have an idea for it. Okay, Luna, create a new skill.”

Nathan re-typed the other skill description he wanted to create. After some time, he finally finished and pressed the button again to execute the skill creation.
