Chapter 99: Interesting Skills and Opening So Loot!
-----
Ding!
[You acquired the [Mind: Level 1] and [Crafting: Level 1] Skills!]
"Eh? These Skills… Crafting seems useful, but I doubt it will bring anything to the table battle-wise… and why a Skill is just nad 'Mind'?"
[Mind: Level 1/10]
Your mind.
Level up to develop your mind.
"…That doesn't explain anything at all! What is with this 'Your mind' description?! Is this… for real? Why even…? Sigh…"
Frank tried to activate the 'Mind' Skill, only for absolutely nothing to happen.
"I shouldn't even have high expectations anymore, I am sure that the System simply creates trash Skills only for … No, wait… Maybe if I see this through a positive view, this Skill is 'my mind', right? Then if it levels up… Would my mind do too? Just as it says, it will develop… Then, would my mind beco stronger? Or get sothing special for 'leveling up'? Maybe… Telekinesis?! …No way, I think I am getting a bit delusional now…" thought Frank, quickly forgetting about such delusional thoughts as he glanced at his other new Skill.
[Crafting: Level 1/10]
The Ability to Craft items.
Increases the mastery over anything crafted, it grants the chance for the crafted item to acquire a new effect.
As the Skill levels up, the effects increase as well.
"I see, so I can even get so new effect? Well, this Skill does not give any experience in crafting anything at all, I might have to actually learn things myself first before anything else… And well, ti for the other rewards," thought Frank, glancing at the five rainbow-colored treasure chests.
"I rember getting Ruby from one of them… Well, ti to see what I can get now… Now that I got sothing trashy, can karma bless with good luck and give sothing useful?"
Frank quickly opened each chest at the sa ti, as the System gave him a list of what he acquired while each item materialized above the floor.
Ding!
[You acquired the following Items:
[Mythical Spirit Grass (D-Grade)]
[Yggdrasil Seed (C-Grade)]
[Mapping: Level 1] (Skill, C-Grade)
[Thunder Ryujin Egg (C-Grade)]
[Ancient Accursed Crystal Ball of Hades (S-Grade)]
"Eh…?"
"I… I actually got blessed by RNGesus…"
"Unbelievable…"
"After so much bad luck… Finally…"
"This is… Insane…"
Frank could not help but feel startled, Luck seems to have finally smiled upon him after his karma balanced!
Now, he got an S-Grade Item, and it was not as if the other items were bad either, especially the Mapping Skill and the new possible monster pet, a Thunder Ryujin Egg!
"Grawr!" said Ruby, sniffing the large, twenty centiters big, yellow-colored egg, which possessed black stripes and thunder-like painting all over.
"Muh?"
anwhile, Ginseng glanced at a ten-centiters big, black-colored crystal ball, which exuded a strange and eerie presence.
[Mapping: Level 1/10]
A Skill that lets you project a map window through the System, anywhere where you talk will be automatically mapped through this window, which can be turned on and off, and moved anywhere you like, even to the point of letting it be seen by others as long as you permit them.
Increase the level of the Skill for new effects and greater mapping speed.
"Amazing, finally sothing I actually needed… This Skill will be very useful in the Dungeon- Oh? It already registered all the places I've to go through? And it even has the function of changing maps, it even shows Earth! How convenient, finally, my plot armor is showing its effects…" said Frank half-jokingly, he liked to often joke around plot armor and other tropes within the countless fantasy novels he read.
"Now, what are these seeds and this pile of green grass?"
[Mythical Spirit Grass (D-Grade)]
A special and magical type of grass with enhancent properties, often feed to Monster Pets to hasten their growth or awaken new abilities.
[Yggdrasil Seed (C-Grade)]
A special seed said to have been dropped from the fruits of the World Tree Yggdrasil.
Consu it to create a bond with the Origin Core of the World of Yggdrasil, enhancing your magical abilities, your closeness to nature, and even opening the path to a new world to explore.
"This is… So the grass can be feed to Ruby or Ginseng… and this seed, isn't it way too good for a C-Grade item? Wait for a second, can't I use Botany and Druid to make these two items grow?"
Frank wondered one of the most obvious things on his mind if he could make plants and seeds develop and grow, couldn't he be able to do the sa with these items? They were technically plants too, right?
To try it out, he grabbed the Mythical Spirit Grass, which was a small pile of it, and infused his power into it, activating the Botany and Druid Skills…
"If a monster shows up, I am confident in being able to trap it in my threads… After all, I can only create Rank 1 monsters," said Frank, as the grass began to be showered in the power of his skills, suddenly beginning to entangle with each other as he dropped it on the floor.
Flash!
The grass grew bigger and bigger, expanding and taking life!
It began to move around, quickly taking a defined shape, it resembled a long, five ters long sake made entirely out of the grass, leaving Frank surprised.
Frank was left surprised as he had indeed converted an 'item' into a monster!
The snake made out of grass glanced around, as Ruby and Ginseng seed wary of it.
"Giiishii…"
The snake released a slight sound, glancing at Frank as its 'eyes' scarlet lights erging from its grass-made body flashed, glaring at Frank eerily.
"That I can make monsters doesn't an that they beco my friends, sadly…" thought Frank, as he rembered that Ginseng was tad by him easily because it was tiny and weak, and Frank had feed it's his Mana, but a monster that could move easily and seed to pack a punch would not simply kneel before him.
"However, you're still quite weak, I already checked your stats… Spider Threads,"
Frank extended countless threads over the grass snake, entangling it into a cocoon until it could not escape anymore, the cocoon moved furiously as the creature tried to break free, but achieving nothing.
Frank then discovered that he was able to save it up in his Inventory, most likely because it was an item, and still, sohow, counted as one.
"Well, that was quite sothing… And then there are the seeds… Should I make them into a monster as well? What would they beco? A Tree monster? An Ent? That might be a bit harder to handle… and I only have one more slot for a Plant-type monster, so until I level up Druid, I will save it up… Well, there is the option of actually eating it, but I believe that I could find a way to produce more seeds if I raise the monster made through it until it can make fruits on its own… The sa thing applies for the Snake Grass Monster," thought Frank, saving the seeds.
"I will have to ta that snake… But whenever I manage, wouldn't I get an endless supply of that special grass? After all, I saw how it grew bigger and bigger, producing more of its own body, so it is a possibility… Anyways, there is another monster pet that I might get that could imdiately obey as Ruby did… This one is not a monster I created but it seems to be from the sa world as Ruby…" said Frank, glancing at the yellow-colored egg.
[Thunder Ryujin Egg (C-Grade)]
The Egg of a young Thunder Ryujin, a dragon-type monster with the Elent Attribute of Thunder, originating from the world of Monsters and Monster Tars of Gaia.
Thunder Ryujin are arrogant dragons who do not like to obey their masters, their strong bloodlines make them powerful, but very hard to handle. They can be convinced with good food or shiny things such as gold, however.
The egg will hatch at any mont!
"I see… So it is one of those. This monster is not a Starter one. I rember that you could get one by grinding repeatedly in a special stage where you fight an adult version of these monsters. The drop chance for the egg was abysmal, so I never managed to get my one myself, but I always saw them being used in the PvP Modes, especially in the monster arena- Wait, is it about to hatch?"
As Frank recalled the mories he had regarding this Monster from the mobile ga where he once saw it, the egg began to move as it started to crack!
"Grawr!" said Ruby with a bit of anger, she didn't like that soone new could take attention from her beloved tar, she had already accepted Ginseng, and now she would have to cope with a third!
Spark!
Suddenly, the egg exploded as electricity flew everywhere! Even impacting Frank, who resisted it with his Gift of Life Skill constantly healing the wounds.
"Ouch… It is quite wild…" said Frank, glancing at the creature that had erged from the egg.
It had the appearance of an Asian dragon, a long, snake-like creature with four tiny legs, a large head, and jaw, a small gold-colored mane, ad two tiny golden horns on its forehead. Its scales were deep green, and its eyes gold. It seed to have a very angered expression, and it even looked a bit frustrated when it glanced at Frank.
"Roar!" it said, spitting thunder wildly.
"Well, hello there… I guess I am your tar now… You're surprisingly cute despite being so wild…" said Frank, only to receive the roar of the tiny Ryujin again, it didn't run away nor directly attacked him, seemingly being tad by him, even if it looked like it was against the creature's will.
Frank even petted it a bit, only to receive furious roars and thunder, but it did not run away nor bite him…
"It is just as the description said…" said Frank.
"Roar!" said the Ryujin, as it averted its gaze from Frank and sat down in the grass of the floor.
It did not even give a glance to Ruby or Ginseng, completely ignoring them.
What an arrogant little dragon!
