Chapter 7: Unique Skill

Chapter 7: Unique SkillNoctis returned to his room and was amazed by its condition.

'Wow, Lira certainly works fast,' he observed as he surveyed the newly renovated space.

Sitting down at his desk, he activated his watch, and a blue display appeared before him.

'I recall the game stated that skills can be obtained in one way—by discovering law shards.

Regarding what law shards are (or) if there are different types of skills beyond common skills—yes, for the latter question.

Skills classified as above B-rank are termed Unique skills, while B-rank and below are known as common skills.

As for law shards—remember the rifts that emerged when different continents converged in this world? It wasn't merely the merging of continents; two or three different worlds collided, along with their wills and laws.

This clash resulted in the formation of random rifts across the planet, connecting to different spatial coordinates.

The chaotic nature of these colliding worlds led to the creation of broken law shards within these rifts.

Once a ranker obtains a law shard, they can place it on their head to absorb it, thereby gaining the corresponding skill.

'The game's lore only touched on two worlds, but the reality is slightly different, it involves three worlds.' Noctis began re

'Given that this was a small-scale manipulation, the skill's full potential was not utilized, yet it was sufficient for me to grasp its concept,' Noctis tapped his fingers on the table, contemplating various ways to leverage this skill to his benefit.

'It appears the game held back the full scale of this skill,' Noctis sighed as he closed the book and got to his feet.

'I need to experiment with other applications of the skill later, keeping in mind the limit of four consecutive uses at once.'

Noctis stretched his body for bit before he continued.

'Now, I should concentrate on improving my physical strength and mana manipulation skill.'

The Mana Manipulation skill is vital for every ranker, allowing for quicker mana recovery, greater mana efficiency, more precise control over mana flow, and better projection of magic circle structures.

Observing his mana skill, which was relatively low.

[Basic mana manipulation(E)]

'I must advance it to at least D- or D,' Noctis shut his eyes, sensing the mana flowing from his core to his heart.

He attempted to direct it towards his right palm to form a mana sphere.

The process was slow, but he progressed in guiding it to his hand.

Although some mana was lost from his pool due to his rough control over it.

[Mana: 450/800]

In his palm was an oddly shaped mana ball, which he held while inspecting it.

'Based on the mana consumed, this sphere should have taken around 40 to 50 points.'

'The remaining 100 was lost during the attempt since it took me quite some time to achieve this.'

'I need to incorporate this into my training schedule alongside my physical training.'

Noctis dispersed the mana ball and began his physical exercises.

'I'll need to ask Lira later about the location of the gym in this huge mansion.'

Noctis began a certain bald man's training routine.
