As its na suggested, the first skill, [Heightened Senses], was a passive skill that helped increase the owner's awareness of the surroundings. It was such a great passive skill for the close combat classes but very hard to acquire naturally or by practice.
Moreover, the skill could evolve two more tis into the [Battle Senses] and [Sixth Sense], respectively.
However, to upgrade the skill, Jeremy needed more than just efforts, but that shouldn't be too hard for the forr sage as he would be able to find a way eventually.
The second skill, [Stealth], was a basic active skill of those sneaky classes who played with silence and darkness. When activated, the user's presence would reduce according to the level of skill mastery.
Its downside was that it was imbued with a darkness elent; the higher the skill level, the more the darkness elent being imbued.
As for why it was a downside...
It's because every spell, ability, and elent that generated light or fire would be its worst counterpart, causing it to be less effective.
The third skill, [Breathing Control]; this skill's description was concise but full of aning, as it simply ant the skill would help the user regulate and control their breathing easier and smoother.
The skill might not be that useful for a mage, but for those of the warrior pathways, it was akin to their lifeline to help them fight longer and beco physically stronger from their cells breathing in more energy from the air around them.
The last skill and also the most important one, [Eagles Eyes], Jeremy didn't know how it would turn out to be when the skill was activated.
However, the skill description simply signified that he would be able to zoom in and zoom out like a picture on the phone.
After buying and inspecting all four skills, Jeremy retracted his hand from the Crystal as he decided to test the skills first and foremost...
Soon after...
*Fwuu...* *Haa...*
*Fwuu...* *Haa...*
The 'inaudible' sounds of Jeremy's breathing ca out from his nose in rhythm...
Jeremy breathed in and out for so tens of tis before stopping. Then he thought to himself,
'It indeed helps control my breathing as it appears that my lungs are easier to control. Alright, let's try Heightened Senses...'
Having thought so, Jeremy closed his eyes lightly; instead of using his eyes to look, he felt the surroundings by his other senses...
Suddenly, Jeremy's senses were boosted by a small degree...
Very light winds were coming from the two passageways, caressing his skin lightly...
The noisy voices of the people from all around him within the tutorial chamber...
The rotten slls originated from the far-end corner where the corpses laid...
Upon finishing doing so, Jeremy nodded his head in satisfaction and thought,
'That's why those muscle heads like this skill so much. Even it is just an eleven percent boost to one's five senses, it is already this good. Nonetheless, the disparity of this skill and my past life's talent, Seventh Sense is still far apart.'
After thinking so, Jeremy turned towards the mound of corpses at the corner near the easy-difficulty door.
When he saw the sight, Jeremy scrutinized the 'mound' with eyes narrowed...
'Hmm... It is a ss there. Corpse after corpse is piled up into a small mountain.'
After finishing his thought, Jeremy activated his newly acquired skill, [Eagles Eyes]...
*Zoom*
Jeremy's sight of the mound's general appearance suddenly got clearer and beca more detailed, as it looked like he had co closer to the heap of corpses himself.
But in truth, Jeremy only stood still with no movent at all...
'Hmm? Is that the woman nad Skylar? She is dead, huh. As for that, the guy nad... well, I don't rember it. That is the corpse of a beheaded goblin with green blood still coming out...'
The view Jeremy saw right now was indeed worthy of an eagle's sight as he saw everything at so tens of ters away very clear like he stood in front of it.
After looking at the corpses of various organisms for a while, Jeremy deactivated the skill with a satisfied expression.
Then he chuckled sarcastically and thought bitterly to himself,
'Haha... Like this, won't I beco a full-fledged warrior instead of a mage then? Or should I beco both...?'
*Sigh*
Upon sighing lightly, Jeremy dismissed such thoughts for now,
'Let's think about those topics later. There are so many golden opportunities ahead of . I have to harvest everything as much as I can...'
'By the way, it was such a right decision to buy [Eagles Eyes] skill. From the looks of it, I cannot imitate the skill's ability to the point of adjusting my eyesight by all ans due to my current mana capacity, mind power, and soul strength are still lacking by quite a lot...'
Jeremy's thinking process was absolutely right, as he couldn't imitate or mimic the skill's capabilities at all. Even if he could, it would just be a la version with countless flaws.
If Jeremy really wanted to use magic to reproduce the exact sa result as the Eagles Eyes, he might need a tier-2 spell or higher for that.
That was absolutely inefficient compared to buying the skill from the shop once and for all...
Regarding the [Stealth] skill that Jeremy hadn't tried or used yet, the skill was also a pretty decent one that had quite a high potential in the future.
Even though the skill had so flaws, it could still be covered by Jeremy's magic and spells, so he thought it was the second-best skill for him within the entire skills list.
Well, there was also another reason for Jeremy to buy the [Stealth] skill...
The reason was none other than the second stage of the tutorial, in which Jeremy needed this skill for a specific situation.
Although Jeremy had darkness as one of his affinities, and he could indeed imitate the [Stealth]'s ability by using so tier-1 darkness spells, they, however, required too much mana to cast, as he had only 34.8% affinity with darkness elent.
Consequently, compared to a space-related spell, which was a spell with an elent he had 89.9% of affinity for, it would require Jeremy more than triple the amount of mana used to cast a spell in the sa tier. Also, the spell generated would only be half as effective at most.
'Everything is good so far...'
Having thought so, Jeremy touched the Crystal again to access the leaderboard.
Soon, a transparent interface showing the current rankings popped up...
...
[Leaderboard]
Zone: 82,364
Survivors: 4,627
Your Ranking: 1st Place ?
[Your ranking has been ranked according to your total Survival Points earned]
...
When Jeremy saw that he still ranked first of the entire zone, he nodded lightly to himself.
Obviously, anyone should easily expect such a result if they knew how bloodily and hellishly Jeremy had fought so far.
From the past 42 hours of coming here, he had reaped more than 400 lives already...
That's the average of 10 lives per hour...
After checking his current ranking, Jeremy dismissed the Crystal's interface by retracting his hand from it.
'Hmm??'
Then Jeremy wondered lightly as he heard the sounds of people from a distance away from him...
Afterward, he turned his head towards the source of the sounds where around 30 people stood as it seed like they were having a eting or sothing of the sort.
'It is ti already, huh...'
Having thought so, Jeremy started walking there unhurriedly while thinking to himself,
'I wonder how my status looks like now...'
'Status Window.'
