Learning About My New Powers

  "ok, this is a lot!" I said while reading everything on just the first few pages.

  "Please condense the profile down," I said hoping the book would do so.

  After I said that the writing on the pages started to move and almost everything condensed, I only saw the names and main stats when it finished.

  "Ok that's better," I said relieved now that I didn't have to read so much.

  I started to read everything listed here and a few things caught my eye.

  First was the titles. [Primogenitor, Spirit Summoner, One Who Entered The Library, Otherworlder]

  I didn't realize that they counted as titles or that I could obtain titles like brakos does. It is an interesting prospect.

  However, I did realize my titles are based on what I am and what I have done rather than giving me powers.

  [Primogenitor] meant I had awakened my powers as a primogenitor and the seal was broken.

  [Spirit Summoner] was also self-explanatory. I can summon spirits, simple as that.

  Next was a weird one. [One Who Entered The Library] I knew that people who entered the library were rare but I didn't think a title was given.

  I decided to open its description again and it read

  <[One Who Entered The Library]: You have entered the Library, have left alive and have permission to enter again. You have received a reward>

  

  

  I decided to leave the quests for later and continued checking my profile.

  The last title was of concern to me [Otherworlder]. This title possibly meant that I am not the only person from another world here. I quickly checked the description.

  <[Otherworlder]: for successfully reincarnating into another world and awakening your powers, you have gained a reward.>

  <[Skill:Heros will]>

  I checked the description of [Heros will]

  [Heros will: LVL 1]

  

  

  my heart dropped. This ability is broken and if people knew I had it I would become the focus of many mages and possibly the world, I can't risk that.

  The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  Not to mention that if people know other worlds and heroes then I am screwed.

  I was starting to panic, this was a passive ability so it would probably always be active. If a mage noticed my power increases at certain times they might realize I have this skill.

  They could even discover I am a primogenitor and capture me to find out how I have both powers. I am not strong enough to stand up against that!

  Volt chuffed and said to me ^calm down^

  Hearing volts voice I realised I was spiraling. I took in a deep breath and exhaled.

  "I need to think calmly about this and a way to prevent that from happening," I told myself.

  I sat down and thought.

  I knew the books had spirits and they could change depending on what I wanted so I thought 'Can they answer questions?'

  "Can I remove or seal a skill?" I asked the book

  Writing appeared at the bottom of the page.

  {skills like [Heros will]are bound to the soul.}

  {you can seal a skill with the help of Brakos but you will stunt your spiritual energy gains.}

  {you could remove the skill by damaging the soul at the cost of Spiritual Energy}

  I smiled "How much energy is needed?"

  The writing faded and new writing appeared in its place

  {[Heros will] is an S-Rank skill. It costs 100,000 SP reduction to remove.}

  My eyes nearly popped out as I read that. My spiritual energy was abnormally high at 4800 but this is ridiculous. The price for removing this was more than 20 times what I had and spiritual energy was very difficult to obtain.

  Then again it said I was damaging my soul so there is that.

  [Heros will] is going to be a problem.

  ...

  ...

  ...

  "Wait," I said as a thought came to mind "I got [Heros will] from being an [Otherworlder]. If I remove the title and relinquish my status as a [Otherworlder] would I also remove [Heros will] at a reduced cost?" I asked the book

  The book did nothing at first but soon the writing slowly changed again but this time I came up with good news

  {...Giving up the [Otherworlder] Title would have that effect but in doing so you cut all ties to your past world and accept this one.}

  "What do you mean cut all ties? do I forget my memories or is it something else?" I asked

  {cutting ties means you must give up on returning to your old world and become fully acclimated to this one}

  ...

  "... um, I never had any intentions of going back and I like living here," I said confused.

  {...}

  "how much does it cost?" I asked changing the subject.

  {removing this title costs 500 Spiritual Energy reduction.}

  "Deal! How do I do it?" I said excitedly

  {Brakos is required}

  "Ok," I said, "Please run an [Appraisel] of [Heros will] but under no circumstances do you generate a skill from it."

  {command accepted [Appraisel] will take {2 hours}} and the conversation was over

  'Well, titles are done. What noteworthy thing is next.' I thought to myself and started to go over everything

  {Class: Spirit Summoner, Spear Fighter}

  the classes do not surprise me. I am a summoner even though I haven't summoned a spirit and spear fighter is obvious.

  {Race: Human (Primogenitor: Unconfirmed Species)}

  I guess until I determine my race I will be considered human.

  {Power Ranking: D-Rank}

  "Does this mean I am on the same level as a D Rank Adventurer?"

  {yes} the book replied not realizing that was rhetorical.

  I ignored that and continued.

  {Strength:15} {Dexterity:22.5} {Endurance:15}

  {intelegance: 60} {Wisdom:38} {Magic:6}

  Wow, 10 is around the average for someone my age but my physical stats are the same as a teenager or young adult. But why is my intelligence and wisdom so high and my magic so low!?

  {Stamina:106/115} {Mana:125/195} {Ki:211/288} {Spiritual Energy:4800}

  why are these low? Did I use them during my awakening?

  I asked the book why and it said

  {Max Stamina, Mana and Ki were increased during your awakening. your body will refill them on its own}

  'ok, so I should keep in mind that I don't just get a boost when the max increases, good to know.' I thought

  {Regeneration:}

  {10 Sta/hr of rest} {10MP/Hr} {1Ki/30sec} {20SP/min}

  This seems a little high but I won't complain.

  Thankfully I know that my SP can be used up when summoning spirits so I have a regen but if I do something that affects my soul then the max will decrease(removing skills or titles).

  For example, it was probably at 5000 but because I made a contract with Volt and the books it was lowered. I should keep that in mind.

  Finally were the skills I read through and decided on after.

  {Active Skills}

  [Appraisel: LVL 1]

  [Aura Control: LVL 1]

  [Meditation: LVL 1]

  active stills are those I need to choose to activate like an appraisal.

  [Aura Control] is an impressive skill. It will allow me to intimidate people and restrain them and [Meditation] was something I do on occasion to rest and gain Spiritual energy anyway.

  {Passive Skills}

  [Heros Will: LVL 1]

  [Duel Mind: LVL 3]

  [Magic Sense: LVL 1]

  [Heros will] I intend to get rid of it as it will ruin my plans.

  [Magic Sense] is great as I could tell the level of magic in my opponents. Plus if I combine it with [Aura Control] I could probably sense my opponent's attacks even if I am facing the other way

  [Duel Mind] was a weird one. When I asked about the book it said it was a skill I had in my past life.

  Suddenly things made more sense, I was incredibly smart and a quick thinker back then. Using my knowledge I managed to track down some of our family heirlooms we lost in a robbery and arranged to bring them back to my family after I died.

  This skill was a major part of me and answered so many questions everyone else asked about me.

  {Combat Skills}

  [Spirit Summoning: LVL 1]

  [Lightning Magic: LVL 1]

  [Spear Fighting: LVL 3]

  [Close Quarters Fighting: LVL 2]

  These skills are how proficient I am when fighting with these techniques.

  As I have never summoned spirits and can't use any lightning spells above the basic level it does not surprise me.

  Though I was surprised I had a skill in hand-to-hand combat despite primarily using a spear, I did learn how to throw a punch from my parents so it is not too surprising.

  I do wonder why my classes only said [Spirit Summoner] and [Spear Fighter] and not the others, I asked the book and it said.

  {Classes are based on the primary fighting style. If you raise your [Lightning Magic] level to [LVL 3] the [Lightning Mage] class will be added. [Spirit Summoner] is an innate class you were born with and can never be removed/changed}

  {classes can be replaced with another fighting skill that surpasses one of the same type. For example if [Close Quarters] is a higher level than [Spear Fighting] your class will change to pugilist or if you learn fire magic to a level higher than lightning you will become a [Fire Mage]}

  "ok, that makes sense." I said

  as I got to the last part I closed the book, leaned back and said "I'm going to have a fun time using these"

  I sat there for a while thinking about how I will use these skills and how to make them stronger.

  I decided to leave the quests for later as I have been stuck in this room for 4 days now.

  I got up and decided to go out. I needed a breath of fresh air and get my own room.

  Knowing my circumstances I will probably come and live here. Plus I need to give this room back to Terra.

  Volt had decided to leave through the window while I was thinking so I was alone.

  I placed the Blue and leather books in my bag in the corner of the room and hid my dagger in my sweater. The Black book I kept tucked away in my sweater and pants. Hidden so no one will see it but still on me.

  I walked to the door and opened it when I did I noticed an older man with a cane standing on the other side reaching for the door and a surprised look on his face.

  He stepped back and introduced himself. "Oh... Um hello Jackson. My name is Michael."

  You know the rest.
