Upon seeing this, I checked for their descriptions.
[Notoriety
People"s perception of you, your deeds and achievements is affected by this. This may enable one to have a smooth-sailing relationship with others, or you against the whole world. Anything lower than a 0 value indicates infamy, while anything above 0 indicates the good perception of the people about you.
How to unlock: A rapid drop or increase in notoriety would unlock the stat.]
[Wisdom
This is how well you think and process the world around you, and how you decide your next course of action, or even understanding your abilities.
Your intelligence point/10 is your current wisdom value for 1-50 points of wisdom. Every 50 points past that, it becomes intelligence point/100, intelligence point/1000, etc.
How to activate: Unlocking the Wisdom stat.
How to unlock: Near-death situation]
I checked my current stats and abilities, and transferred my free attributes to my intelligence, increasing it by 10 points, while I added the remaining 10 points to my notoriety, making sure it was still positive.

I closed the status and opened my skill tree, unlocking the 5th-tier skill, [Memory Reading], under the lightning supportive skill tree.
[Memory Reading, lvl 5
User can choose one of the following as the default of the skill:
Perfect memory: Allows the user to have a 2%* skill level + (Wisdom value)% + (Luk point/100)% chance of completely reading the memories of the target. Failure to cast will result to a permanent decrease in intelligence point by 10.
Fragmented Memory: Allows the user to have a 5%* skill level + (Wisdom value)% + (Luk point/30)% chance of reading 50% of the memories of the target. Failure to cast will result to a permanent decrease in intelligence point by 5. Repeated use will not repeatedly get the same memories from the same target.
Incomplete Memory: Allows the user to have a 10%* skill level + (Wisdom value)% + (Luk point/10)% chance of reading 25% of the memories of the target. Failure to cast will result to a permanent decrease in intelligence point by 2. Repeated use will not repeatedly get the same memories from the same target.
Cooldown: 1 minute]
After fixing my stats and abilities, I faced the leader this time, who I had incapacitated by breaking his bones in the legs and arms using the water pressure emitted from the [Torrential Bolt] skill.
--------------------
"Don"t worry, your suffering will soon end." I said calmly, showing the leader a smile. I could see the leader visibly shiver, as if facing the greatest threat of his life.... Then again, he"ll die soon because of me, so technically I am the greatest threat of his life.
I just chuckled at his reaction and stretched out my left arm, with my finger raised and aiming at the center of his forehead. His eyes were full of regret, fear and anger of the unknown, and how stupid he was for attacking me, probably.
Oh well, there"s no medicine for regret.
Upon contact, I activated [Memory Reading: Fragmented Memory] spell, which successfully got 50% of his current memories. I used the waiting time to digest his memories.
Oh. It seems the party I just annihilated was part of the special squadron directly under the command of the commander-in-chief of Oz country, Saint Himmelmez. There were 10 elite parties under the special squadron, and this was the 8th strongest party of the special squadron.
I couldn"t help but think of the future clashes I would have with these parties. Eh, what will come, will come, I said to myself, shaking my head for overthinking too much.
The remaining parts of the memory were merely secrets of the state that the special squadron was privy to as well as the members of the other parties.
After a few minutes of silence, I casted the spell again, gaining the remaining 50% of his memories. After digesting these memories, I got the important part: Information about Oz and this world.
It was far more complicated than what I initially thought.
