Chapter 5: Skill Token and Talent Token.
Just as Danny was thinking of making a fake ID and run away from the sector to escape the wrath of his aunt.
*BOOM**BANG**BOOM*
The door to the Training room exploded, and Fire Fighters rushed into the training room along with his Aunt and Uncle.
*********
After that, he had to explain to all of them how he fainted after exercising too much. Of course, he did not tell them about the Limit Breaker or the Experience Multiplier.
Thankfully they believed him.
There was healer among the group of Fire Fighters used his Healing skill on me to fill up my HP bar.
He felt refreshed after that.
He was also told me to take rest as my muscles are in a state of exhaustion and that it is bad for my health. He also recommended that I go see the doctor at the hospital.
After the Fire Fighters left he got a mouth full from Aunt Susan.
Only after lecturing for half an hour did she calm down, she looked like she was going to fire at me again but thankfully Uncle Matthew who was just watching the show till now intervened.
Danny wanted to ask if he could talk with his Uncle in private, but if he askes that now then his Aunt might become more furious, so he decided to keep quiet.
He hadn't had any food in 4 days, so after both, his Aunt and Uncle left, he went into the kitchen and heated some pre-cooked rice along with stir-fried vegetables.
After filling his stomach with 2 servings of rice he went to his room. At this moment he remembered that he had yet to take a bath.
Bathing with a full stomach would be uncomfortable so he, decided to just sit and look through all the notifications he had yet to read.
He was very curious as to what happened. All that he remembers is trying to enter a state of self-hypnosis, and then everything else was blank.
No, he remembered bits and fragments of training the Basic Sword Arts, but it was like trying to remember a dream. It feels real yet it illusionary.
So he opened his status window.
[Name: Danny Finch]
[No Class level 1][100 EXP for the next level up]
[HP 70/70]
[MP 20/20]
[BP 48/48][+]
[ATK: 12; DEF: 8; AGI: 12; PHY: 7; INT: 5; WIS: 5]
[+][+][+][+]
His stats were quite good for a level 1, and it will increase by a bit more after his muscles have fully recovered.
He noticed there were three new tabs, but he ignored them.
But just as he was about to open the notification tab, he noticed it.
[BP 48/48]
His eyes widened in shock. He rubbed his eyes to see if he was just imagining it. He then pinched himself to see if he was dreaming or not.
He simply could not believe it.
He then looked at the description of the BP.
BP (Battle aura Points)-used to determine the remaining Battle aura inside once body. It is double the sum of ATK and AGI.
'HOLY!!! it's really is BP. I thought you could only get BP after the second class transition after level 100.'
Not even his parents attained BP throughout their life.
Danny was so excited that he was practically jumping on his bed. He felt like he just won a lottery.
It took half a minute for him to calm down.
'There must be a reason for me to get BP this early.'
So he opened his notification tab.
[You have successfully completed the Limit Breaking Mission: Basic Sword Arts. ]
[Your Sword art foundation has transcended perfection, allowing you to comprehend Battel Aura.]
[BP stat has been generated.]
'So I got the BP stat because my Basic Sword Art Skill broke through its natural limit.'
'Wait it says I comprehended Battel Aura, but I don't feel like I comprehend anything.'
'No.... I think.....I remember...... something.'
Danny frowned, it was like trying to remember something and it is at the tip of your tongue but you just can't say it out.
He closed his eyes, and reflexively he lifted his arm up, as the arm reached its peak and pointed to the roof it suddenly released a ghastly green fire as like energy and he slashed down as fast as he can.
The ghastly green fire energy turned into a crescent-shaped energy wave and was launched forward at a terrifying speed.
As it struck the table in front of him, rather than cutting through it bent and engulphed it and set it ablaze in ghastly green flames.
"SHIT!!" Danny how came back to his senses cursed.
He took his blanket and slapped the fire to extinguish it. But instead, the blanket also caught on fire.
The ghastly green fire started to spread to the floor.
'The floor is made of fireproof material so it won't..... '
But before he had a chance to even finish his thoughts, the floor also caught on fire.
"Crap, what to do, call the Fire Force."
The Fire Force already came to his house once today, it would too embarrassing to call them again.
'I need to get water,' he rushed to his attached bathroom and got a bucket full of water and doused it on the fire.
But rather than extinguishing the fire, it just exploded as if oil had been poured on it.
"What the hell kind of fire is this?!"
That's when he noticed something. He was too panicked before but now that he is calmer.
'This fire is not emitting heat not only that I feel like I am connected to it as if it is a part of me.'
He then tried to extinguish the fire with his will.
With a sizzling sound, the ghastly green fire died down.
He then looked for Status Window to find out more about the fire.
He knew from the internet that every Battle Aura has an attribute. Naturally, there is a fire attribute Battel Aura, but he never thought that fire attribute was so terrifying.
One of the new tabs belonged to his Battle Aura Attribute. It was right next to his BP bar. He opened the tab.
[Battle Aura Attribute: Ghost Fire]
[Ghost Fire: A fire that is a subspecies of Hellfire, has a similar ability to burn any form of Matter and Energy(You are immune to it). It will burn forever, till you will it to stop. The power of fire depends on your ATK. It does 10 % of your ATK as DMG every 10 seconds to the target.]
[Remark 1: Although a subspecies of Hellfire of it does not produce even a fraction Hellfires glory.]
[Remark 2: Upgradable using other rare types of fire.]
Danny was confused at this point, just what kind of attribute is a Ghost Fire. I mean he understood the description of it but he never heard of such an attribute.
He quickly took his Quantum Phone and searched for Ghost Fire. The top result for that was an Underground cult.
Having no result with Ghost Fire, he searched for Battel Aura Attributes.
He read a few articles.
Apparently, there are 9 main attributes. They are Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Light, Darkness, Life, Death.
Apart from this, there are countless variation attributes and combination attributes.
For example, Ice attribute is a variation attribute of Water attribute. While Blizzard Attribute is a combinational attribute of Ice and Wind.
'My attribute is probably a variation of the Fire Attribute.'
'Whatever I am not the type to look into the mouth of a gift horse.'
Danny was very satisfied with his attribute, it had a good AOE attack effect that did continuous damage until he wants it to stop even though the damage done by it is very small with time it adds up to a huge amount of damage. He is yet to realize just how OP and broken his attribute is.
Putting his attribute to the back of his mind he read through all the notification he had received. He still does not know just what happened to him and how he completed the Limit Breaking Mission.
After reading all the notifications he understood what had happened.
'So while trying to enter into self-hypnosis, I accidentally created a skill that can allow one to enter into a pseudo- Flow mental state, at the cost of mana.'
He had heard of the Flow mental state from his father, according to him it is a state of mind which enabled one to forget about all distractions and focus on the task at hand.
People who enter the Flow state temporarily forget their surroundings, pain, and even all their memories. They monotonously do the task at hand but with unimaginable creativity.
In such a state the efficiency of the person is boosted by 100 times.
It is rumored that in the flow state a person can use 100% of their brains capacity.
The pseudo-Flow state is similar to the Flow state but it only boosts the efficiency by 10 times.
'I think this skill is incomplete, and its an active skill with no level. I have no idea how to complete or improve this skill to reach the true Flow state.'
He continued to read the notifications.
[You have created an Unnamed skill. Do you wish to name it or do you want the Brahmanic Creation Record to name it.]
Even though he created it accidentally he still wanted to name it.
He named it Quasi-Flow.
After he named it a description was given to it by the Brahmanic Creation Record.
{Quasi-Flow: Enable you to enter into a pseudo-Flow mental state, requires 1 MP every hour to maintain this state. The pseudo-Flow mental state enables you to temporarily forget your surroundings, memories, and pain while concentrating on the task at hand with 10 times more efficient than in your normal mental state. Although you might appear completely monotonous in your actions, in fact, you will also have an extremely high level of creativity and ingenuity.}
Honestly, Danny was a bit terrified of this skill that he created. If it was not for his MP reaching 0 he might have just continued practicing till his HP reached 0.
'I need to figure out how to exit the pseudo-Flow mental state at will.'
He then looked at his skill tab.
[Basic Sword Arts lv 21][2100 EXP for the next level up]
[Minor Sword Sense lv 3][300 EXP for the next level up]
[Skill Token]
{Basic Sword Arts lv 21: deals +21 DMG when using the Basic Sword Arts. ( max level 100).
Remark 1: Your foundation for sword arts transcends perfection allowing you to learn other sword arts easily.
Remark 2: level this skill up to 100 before learning any other sword art
}
Danny was a bit disappointed by DMG, but the remarks made him happy.
Minor Sword Sense lv 3: adds +3 EXP when practicing any sword art below Legendary grade (Max level 100). Enhanced understanding about sword arts below Legendary grade.
He searched the skill library in the Hunter's database to see if Minor Sword Sense had been recorded yet.
If it is not yet recorded he could add it to the skill library and gain a huge amount of money from the Union Government as a reward. Maybe he could even directly ask for the Potion of Cleansing.
But sadly it was already recorded.
He was a bit disappointed but he quickly pushed those negative feelings to the back of his mind.
'I still have the skill token maybe I would get an unrecorded skill from it.'
Skill Token: once activated the Brahmanic Creation Record will give a skill most suitable for you based on your potential.
He activated it.
The token glowed and Danny felt like his body was undergoing some change.
He closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body. He felt his cells hungrily devouring the surrounding heat and light energy, it was almost as if he was doing photosynthesis. All the fatigue that had built up in his body started to rapidly decrease.
[You have received skill Passive Regeneration.]
[Passive Regeneration lv 1][1000 EXP for the next level up]
Passive Regeneration lv 1: Regenerates 1 HP, and 1 STM every 10 seconds, by absorbing all forms of atmospheric energy. Also accelerates the breakdown of lactic acid that is built up in muscles. (Max level 100)
STM stands for stamina. Stamina is a hidden stat that won't show up in the Status Window.
There are many many hidden stats like luck, charm, charisma, presence, etc.
But because these stats vary irregularly based on the situation, so they are difficult to quantify.
Only through the descriptions of some skill did humanity on earth get to know of the hidden stats.
For example, the Passive Regeneration proved the existence of a stamina stat.
Another example is the Shadow walk skill which decreases presence by -1 at level 1. It confirms the existence of Presence as a stat.
Sadly for Danny Passive Regeneration is already a registered skill. What is interesting though is that Passive Regeneration is registered as a monster skill, not a human skill.
Only monsters like Trolls have Passive Regeneration. Honestly, Danny did mind having a monster skill as long as it did not disfigure him.
He was a bit disappointed that he did not receive any Sword related skill, but he was satisfied with Passive Regeneration. It not only increases his odds of survival as a hunter but also rapidly recovers his stamina, meaning he can practice for longer and get stronger faster.
He opened his talent tab and saw the Talent Token.
Danny hoped that he could get a Sword related talent with the talent token.
Talent Token: once activated the Brahmanic Creation Record will randomly give you a talent.
The description for the Talent Token was different from the Skill Token. While the Skill Token gives you what is you need the most. The Talent Token is a gamble. You could get something good if your lucky, something useless if your unlucky, or get something that negatively affects your growth if your luck is horrible.
Danny scratched his head and wondered if he should use it or not.
But his hesitation did not last long.
'Nothing ventured nothing gained, No risk no reward,' he told to himself and activated the token.
The token glowed and disappeared.
Suddenly he felt as if his eyes had been stabbed with a hot needle.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!" he screamed and fell down from the bed and rolled around on the ground.
[You have received A grade talent Extreme Energy Vision.]
He did even have time to register the notification as he rolled on the floor while pressing his eyes.
It took 5 minutes for the pain to subside, but it felt like hours for him.
He sat up eyes closed, at this point he had already seen the notification and understood that he received an ocular talent.
With his eyes closed, he looked at the description of the talent in his talent tab.
[Extreme Energy Vision: A rare talent that few are born with, enables the possessor to see the flow of almost all forms of energy.]
The description of the talent did not help him much. So he decided to open his eyes.
Gently he opened his eyes a bit.
"SHIT!!! MOTHER MOLY," he bends down while clutching his eyes.
It was too bright.
Right now Danny was not only seeing the visible spectrum of light, but all forms of electromagnetic waves including Earth's omnipresent Magnetic filed was visible to him.
'Thankfully the light does not penetrate my eyelids,' that is when Danny realized something.
'How can such bright light not penetrate my eyes lids.'
At noon if one closes his eyes and turns to the sun the bright sunlight will penetrate through their eyelids.
But right now the bright light is not penetrating his eyelids.
'It's not the light but my eyes,' Danny tried to actively control the amount of information his eyes perceive. If it were a normal eye that would be impossible but with the Extreme Energy Vision, it was possible.
He once again opened his eyes, his originally brown eyes had turned black as if it was a black hole absorbing all light.
This time what he was not blinded.
First, he saw the world in black and white. Black being all non-living and dead objects while white being all living objects. He concentrated and saw millions of white dots flowing on in the air and on the walls, he assumed these where the microbes.
'Thank god I am not a germophobe.'
He tried to control his vision again. His perception changed again, he saw world change again into red color.
'Is this heat vision,' he wondered.
His vision penetrated through his wall into his neighbor's house then into the next house, but he stopped after that as he felt it was an intrusion of privacy.
He then tried to adjust his vision again, it was like tuning a radio to find the right station, after 3 minutes of fumbling around his vision return into the normal visible spectrum.
He then adjusted his eyes again and set his eyes with accelerated perception allowing him to see the world in slow motion.
'This could be very useful in battle,' he tough that the skill he received was not that bad.
