Chapter 5: 5

Chapter 5 Learning Dark Magic

~~~~

‘So, does that mean I can only choose one of the three?’

Alicia glanced at Yuri next to her, but the floating little guy just closed her eyes and gave a “comprehend it yourself” look.

The game she came across is not a simple AVG text adventure game, but it does also has elements of RPG.

If it weren’t for the magical aspect of the game, Alicia wouldn’t have played this clichéd game in the first place.

Although the magic system of the game is also very clichéd.

The magic system is divided into four common elements of the world.

Wind, water, fire, and earth.

Plus two rare elements like lightness and darkness.

The setting is, only nobles and illegitimate descendants of nobles have magical talents and the obligation to defend the kingdom.

The main enemies of the Anders Kingdom where Alicia is located are the strength-loving Natalo Kingdom of the west and the Calamity in the north.

Among them, there is a buffer zone called “The Far East” between the Kingdom and the Calamity.

Most living there are thieves and some peripheral monsters.

Speaking of monsters, they are mostly composed of slimes, goblins, and skeleton soldiers. The game only sues disasters as a means of fighting monsters and leveling up, without going into the details.

The player manipulated Ifty to upgrade and deal with the crisis while also gaining the favor of the target of the raid.

After the successful raid, the end will be ushered.

Humans with dark attribute magic did not appear in this anticlimactic game at all, which the forum was bombarded with complaints at that time.

However, after leveling up and choosing one out of three starter skills like a clichéd plot of a game, the direction of the choices is determined according to one’s character attributes.

[Yuri-chan, can I check my attributes? ] Alicia asked.

The reasoning is still the same.

Although there is a general idea, but Alicia still wants to look at the attributes first then the skills.

[As long as you silently recite ‘attribute panel’ in your mind, it will appear! That’s it.]

[So casual…]

Alicia complained a bit but still followed the instructions. Immediately, she felt the bead in her body emit light again and what that light projected was her own attributes.

Alicia finally did as she did, and she immediately felt the beads in her body emit light again, and that light was the projection of her own attributes.

[Let me see, Let me see…]

[Hey, is there something wrong with this status bar?]

What level of talent this should be, Alicia couldn’t be more clear.

At the initial interface of the game, players can freely assign 100 talent points to various attributes for Ifty.

You can earn skill points every time you level up. The higher the attribute talent, the fewer skill points are required to learn a new skill.

And if the talent is zero, no matter how many skill points you have, you won’t have any chance of learning magic skills.

‘But in my memory, my performance at the Magic Academy was not smooth sailing, at the very least it was terrible. If my talent is zero, then it explains everything.’

[This… This is wrong!]

After Alicia thought of this, Yuri, who was beside her, leaned over to take a look and let out a terrifying cry.

[Why… Why is the person with qualification I will guide completely incompetent! I got it, it’s definitely a trap that the Fosfloss guy deliberately made to make me suffer!]

[What are you talking about?]

Yuri cleared her throat.

[Listen, you scrap iron. I ate hot pot, sang songs, and lived a nourishing life in Pluto, which I ruled. It’s a pity that I had a crooked thought for a while and wanted to be dyed with Venus, the god of light, so I was assigned to be a guide in this inferior planet. But I am so unfortunate as to be allocated with a scrap iron like you!]

[My name is not Scrap Iron, It’s Alicia! And what do you mean by a qualified people, what exactly are they?]

Alicia had never heard of a qualified person in the game, so she was at a loss as to what Yuri said.

[You don’t need to know, just relying on this data, it’s useless for you to know.]

Seeing Yuri fly into the corner with a sad face and mutter to herself, Alicia also felt a little shocked. She bowed her head angrily and continued to sweep down the panel.

—-

Special magic talent:

Light element Talent 0

The dark element Talent ∞

Skills: none

—-

‘Hey, I really don’t have any talent at all… Wait! Something seems wrong.’

Alicia rubbed her eyes vigorously, only to find that the dark element talent is not zero, but an 8 lying down, which is the symbol ∞ representing infinity.

Yes, there is one skill point before, and there are three skills that can be learned. [Staring] and [Crazy Scratching] are very elemental physical and mental skills.

They are indeed essential basic skills for children. It is not surprising that they can be learned with only 1 point.

But the name of the skill [Dark Arrow] sounds very high, but it can also be learned with 1 skill point?

Could it be that this panel display is not a bug, but that she really has a strong dark element talent?

Eloquence is not as good as practice, Alicia returned to the skill selection interface and chose [Dark Arrow] without hesitation.

‘Ding dong, you have learned [Dark Arrow] and consumed 1 skill point. The remaining skill point is 0. Character level 1.’

—-

So, what is the use of this [Dark Arrow]?

Yuri was still drawing circles in the corner and muttering something, looking very resentful.

Alicia ignored this little thing, and when she thought about it, a symbol similar to a crosshair appeared in front of her eyes.

The girl was pleasantly surprised to find that she could move the crosshair with her mind.

In the end, after thinking about it again and again, Alicia aimed the crosshair at the closed door, ready to try the power of this [Dark Arrow].

‘Are you sure you want to activate [Dark Arrow]?’

There was a mechanical female voice in her mind again, Alicia nodded, and instantly, she felt a force emerging from her right hand.

She raised her hand subconsciously, and an arrow with a dazzling black light shot at the iron door of the cell!

Rumbling Rumbling…

The hard wall collapsed suddenly!

Alicia stared at her right palm in disbelief, still unable to believe that the power came from herself.

[This, this, this, this… Scrap iron, what did you do?] Yuri’s trembling voice came from beside her.

[Just tried the newly learned [Dark Arrow].]

[Dark Arrow]? Where did you get the aptitude to learn this skill… Wait, this dark element talent is actually infinite! And there’s no sense of discord with it being a row of 0s!]

[I said I have a name, don’t call me scrap iron…]

[Lord Alicia, I have long understood that you are a once-in-a-lifetime, one-in-a-million top genius! I, Yuri, hereby swear that I will dedicate everything to my Lord. Mighty Alicia-sama, please accept my loyalty!]

Seeing that Yuri, who had been ignoring her just now, was so courteous, Alicia was speechless for a moment.

—-

[What’s going on.. Huh? Huh?]

The sound of the door collapsing caused a commotion, and the black-haired youth in the cell next to him almost dropped his jaw in shock.

And this commotion naturally caused the guard, who saw Alicia actually broke the door, and rushed over with the machete.

[Be careful, Master Alicia, use your skills quickly!]

[Oh oh.]

Alicia, immersed in the joy of being able to use magic, returns to reality. With this ability, jailbreaking is not a matter of minutes?

‘Activate [Dark Arrow]!’ The girl meditated in her heart.

‘Abnormal, unable to activate [Dark Arrow]. The reason, MP is insufficient.’

What! Unable to activate skills!

‘That’s right, my MP seems to be only around 10, and the average student doesn’t say more than a thousand, it’s at least three digits. ‘

Seeing Alicia standing still, Yuri screamed excitedly. However, the guard’s machete didn’t wait for anyone. He raised the knife and slashed the machete into Alicia’s heart.

[It hurts ah ah ah ah!]

Not as neat as a beheading, there was severe pain in the chest after being stabbed by the knife, and Alicia fell to the ground instantly.

Then, her consciousness became blurred, and at the last moment of falling into darkness, she saw Yuri’s desperate expression, and a large piece of blood dripping on the ground.
