Chap 7  New Skill Core

‘How much DF is spent on random drawing?’

-When random drawing is used on the 1st floor of the Universe, 5000 DF is used. 

‘d.a.m.n! Then I only have one attempt at it isn’t it?  Is that the average cost of the 1st floor’s skill core items?’

-There are ones as cheap as 1000 and ones that cost up to 10000.  So you can consider 5000 as the mid range price.

‘So basically, it’s neither good nor bad huh?’

Currently, SuHyuk has around 9000 DF.  If he was to decide on the random pick and end up with something he doesn’t need, the outcome could turn into the worst situation ever.

‘Does it, by any chance, use up DF to browse through the skills?’

-Yes, on the 1st floor, it takes 10 DF to look at one item/skill.

‘Hmmm, 10 DF…..’  After having listened to Yan, SuHyuk thought things through very carefully.

‘Should I pick some useable skills to start off?’  After a prolonged thinking, some skills surfaced in his head.’

SuHyuk stuck his hand into the rainbow glob and thought up of something like ancient Chinese military combat art ‘Dharma Mind Control’ that he picked up somewhere, along with other definitely possible skills such as ‘firewall,’ ‘100-shot-100-hit,’ ‘lightening bold,’ and etc., totaling 6 skills.  However, all of them were, “-All of them do not exist.”

Because he still consumed 10 DF even if the browsing didn’t turn up anything, he couldn’t continue with the browsing.

‘Were they too high leveled skills to be on the 1st floor?  If not, the skill names were not as simple as I had thought?  Whatever the reason, I don’t think randomly thinking about something and hoping it will be inside the 1st floor is wise.’

After having tried the browsing and failed a few times SuHyuk thought some more.

‘Three dimensional time period that includes me, which are past, present and future?  Then the skills that the current knights are using will also exist won’t they?’

SuHyuk started to organize his thoughts.  In reality, he didn’t know what skills existed inside of the Universe, but there were some skills that he knew inside. Those skills were, actually, being used by the knights.  It was true that the real special skills were usually kept secret by each knight, and thus, there were no way for SuHyuk to know, but, at least, he already knew ‘Sword-Shield Morph’ and other widely spread basic skills.  Therefore, he thought about, of all the skills that he knew, which ones will be most helpful to him in his current situation.

‘Reinforcement type won’t be too useful won’t they? Looks like, when looking at my equipment, will discharge type be good?’

SuHyuk thought about all of the skills that he could remember, and thought which skill would be best for the situation.

After 10 minutes, SuHyuk was able to pick 7 skills.

Attribute Type Knight Basic Skill ‘Freeze Bestowal’

Discharge Type Knight Basic Skill ‘Projectile Impact Reinforcement’

Discharge Type Knight Basic Skill ‘Projectile Impact Induction’

Discharge Type Knight Basic Skill ‘Penetration Increase’

Morph Type Knight Basic Skill ‘Aura Shield’

Movement Type Knight Basic Skill ‘Speed Movement’

Reinforcement Type Knight Basic Skill ‘Hawk’s Eye’

What SuHyuk knew were, mostly, each type’s basic skills only.  Because every knight rarely used their special skills when in group, it was natural that he only knew basic ones.

‘Well, I only have three skill slots. I must use these slots to make the best synergic combination.’

SuHyuk thought whether any of the above 7 skills existed in the Universe’s 1st floor.

‘Yan, please open the Universe once more.’

-Okay

Yan opened the Universe promptly, and the rainbow colored globe, once again, appeared in front of SuHyuk’s eyes.

This time SuHyuk didn’t waste any time and stuck his hand through the globe, and he thought of ‘Freeze Bestowal.’

-Freeze Bestowal does not exist

‘Then how about attribute type knight basic skill freeze bestowal?’

-Attribute type knight basic skill freeze bestowal does not exist either

‘Huh? For real?’

-Yes, definitely

‘Didn’t you say that the skills from past, present, and future….AH!….Don’t tell me….’

During the middle of his argument-like discussion with Yan, SuHyuk stuck his hand into the rainbow globe as if he recalled something.

-You have found the skill that you thought up.  Information relating to the skill will open.

[Skill Core]

-Attribute Type Knight Basic Skill ‘Freeze Bestowal D’ (Level: common)

   :Object of any type can be frozen, but for only 1 minutes.  The length of time of freezing will increase with increased level

(Cool Off Time: 5 minutes) (Skill Type: Active)

(DF Usage: 15)

[Price: 1100 DF]

‘It’s done!’

SuHyuk was finally able to find what he wanted.  The key to the acquisition is to think of the exact skill name without omitting any letter and to include the level of the skill.  He recalled that his rifle skill also had level attached to it, so he also attached level to this skill.

‘This is cheaper than I had thought….’

SuHyuk was surprised at the cheap price, and eventually, took a look at the skill info on the remaining 6 skills.

[Skill Core]

Discharge Type Knight Basic Skill ‘Projectile Impact Homing D’ (Level: common)

   :Homes in on the target.  The substance of the projectile does not matter, and even the energy projectiles are homed in on the target.  Speed and complexity of the path will be raised with the increase in the level.

(DF Usage: 10)

   :All the projectiles are reinforced, thus increasing impact.  Upon increased level of the skill, the impact increases.

(DF Usage: none)

[Price: 7000 DF]

[Skill Core]

Discharge Type Knight Basic Skill ‘Penetration Increase D’ (Level: common)

(Cool Off Time: 1 minute) (Skill Type: Active)

(DF Usage: 10)

[Price: 1000 DF]

[Skill Core]

Morph Type Knight Basic Skill ‘Aura Shield D’ (Level: common)

   :Using mana, shield is made. Aura is only able to block the first impact, and if the impact is greater than a set limit, it is capable of being penetrated.  Both the number of impact and the set limit are increased with increased level.

[Price: 1,500 DF]

[Skill Core]

Reinforcement Type Knight Basic Skill ‘Hawk Eye D’ (Level: common)

   :For 5 seconds long distance targeting capability increased.  Upon increased level, the length of time and accuracy are increased.

(Cool Off Time: 30 seconds) (Skill Type: Active)

(DF Usage: 5)

[Price 1,200 DF]

All of the skills had ‘Cool Off Time’ function and the active skills required DF usage.

‘By chance, is it saying it is using DF to utilize the skill?’

-Right.  Pa.s.sive skill does not require DF, but active skills require DF usage.  

‘Then isn’t pa.s.sive skills always better than the active skills?’

-Not necessarily.  Pa.s.sive does not use DF, but at the same time, the effectiveness is weaker than active types and is more costly.

‘It does look that way.’

Out of 6 skills, the pa.s.sive skill ‘Projectile Impact Reinforcement D’ was more expensive than others by 7 times.

‘Then, what should I buy….’

SuHyuk read over all the skill descriptions, and once again fell in worry about what to pick.

‘Let’s pick speed movement, Penetration Increase, and Hawk Eye for now’

Since he had limited amount of skill slots, there was no reason to buy more.

-Are you paying 3700 DF to buy these Skill Cores [Speed Movement D], [Penetration Increase D], and [Hawk Eye D]?

SuHyuk nodded.

-You have purchased 3 skill cores

At that time, the amount of DF that he had acc.u.mulated had dropped by 3700 and three new skill cores were purchased.

Sssseeeet

SuHyuk felt weird sensation as it entered his body.

‘So I have purchased 3 core skills for now…. What is left of the DF is exactly 5,500 DF.  Even if I use 5000 here, I would have enough DF to use the skills.  Then….let’s bet on this chance.’

Since he had already purchased three skills, even if he gamble and end up with bad skill, his situation won’t turn for the worse.

‘Yan, let’s try the random pick!’

-You have used 5000 DF on random pick

Theerik, skill core (Jin Cronos’s Concentration) has been purchased
