Today was the day Asher turned six years old.
He had grown quite a decent bit since his arrival in the world.
Asher had brown hair, one blue eye, one purple eye, with an above average height for his age group. He was slightly skinny with pale skin. He also possessed his fathers above-average looks. Overall, not too shabby.
His parents had discussed what to get him as a present and decided on something important for him.
"Asher, for your sixth birthday, we would like you to start training as a magical knight moving forward." His father stated in his usual loud voice.
Upon hearing this, Asher leapt up out of his chair. "Really!?" He had been asking his parents to train him for a long time.
"Yes Asher, although I don't want you to get hurt, we both think it would be best for you to start training in case anything happens."
Oddly enough, his parents had never asked to see his skills. Not a single time.
"Starting tomorrow, we'll start physical training, but for now it's getting late and you need to rest for tomorrow morning. Now go on to bed and I'll wake you up in the morning."
"Yes father!"
Asher hurried to his bedroom and on the way he heard his mother say "Please don't be too rough on him honey."
In his room, Asher had to decide an important choice.
What skills should I show my parents?
Asher couldn't just show them that he had six skills. Especially not the fact that he had three master ranked skills at the age of only six.
He decided he had two choices.
One : Get another skill from the reincarnation system and pass it off as his only skill
Two : Increase the proficiency of my weakling skill to make it look like an above average skill
He decided on the first one. After all, he didn't know exactly how much the proficiency would go up with his tokens.
"Slinky, how many tokens does it cost to get a guaranteed intermediate skill?"
-------------------------------
Of course user!
To get a randomized, intermediate grade skill, it would cost 250 tokens.
You currently have 1350 tokens. [Weakling+2, Weak Regeneration+1, Genius+1, Appraisal+1]
You could also try your luck six times for a random skill (200 Tokens Each)
-------------------------------
"Slinky, I'd like one randomized, intermediate skill and five randomized skills."
-------------------------------
You have acquired,
Combat | Fireball [Intermediate] - The user can summon a fireball.
Passive | Mental Resistance [Intermediate+] - The user is not affected by mental attacks as easily.
Passive | Magic Proficiency [Adept-] - The user has a high aptitude with magic and learning new skills.
Combat/Passive | Sword Genius [Master] - The user is proficient with swords and is able to learn techniques extremely quickly.
Combat/Enhancing | Aura Manipulation [Advanced+] - Allows the user to infuse "aura" a mystical force that enhances the strength of the blade and the user wielding it.
Other | Skill Synthesis [Divine] - Allows the user to fuse skills and obtain higher rankings. Skills with higher compatibility result in higher skill levels.
-------------------------------
Asher was to say, shocked that he got so many skills. But, a divine skill? He never hoped to even get a grandmaster skill and he got a DIVINE? A freaking divine skill at the age of six?!
The highest known skill ranking was of The king of the holy kingdom who had a paragon skill. And Asher had a divine skill? His thoughts immediately turned to reading the effects of the skill.
Asher decided on fusing Genius [Master+], Sword Genius [Master], Blood Infusion [Master-], and Aura Manipulation [Advanced+] together,
-------------------------------
New Skill Notification
Combat/Passive | Blood God's Sword Technique [Paragon] - The user inherently grasps sword techniques and understands their opponents every move. All attacks with a sword from the user cause the opponent to bleed and heal the user. The strength of this skill is parallel to the users combat ability.
-------------------------------
Asher couldn't believe it. A divine and paragon skill in the same day?
This was great!
He wouldn't have to worry about getting into the Academy of Leinburg, most nobles only had up to advanced skills by the time they got in the academy.
That was his reaction. Anyone would be excited to see that they received so much luck in one day.
Although, Life is fair and so is luck.
