Chapter 5: Absolute Chosen
Adam was stunned, as earlier, he saw a massive number being displayed on his status window, and now, he saw how OP this SSS-Grade unique skill was!
He was so stunned to the point that he nearly forgot to breathe as it was breathtaking.
The description may appear short but it says all! Extreme Luck!
It was just unfortunate that it only works within 1 second upon activation. But he just let it be as he thought that there would be a drastic change in its effects once he reached level 101 or the major breakthrough phase.
Soon, after a while of being lost in his amazement...
Adam recollected himself and started calling for the 'Starter Pack'!
"Starter Pack"
[ Congratulations on your first time using the system... Starter Pack will now be given..]
[ Starter Pack ]
[ ×1 E-rating skill book roulette ticket
×1 E-rating item roulette ticket
×1 E-rating Title roulette ticket
×1 E-rating Miscellaneous roulette ticket
×1 E-rating Random roulette ticket
Description: Items are bound to the Chosen ]
Of course, Adam knew of this starter pack as it was given to every chosen once invited. The ticket can be used to access the roulette, same as what Adam saw before.
For others, it was considered mediocre as it was only of E-rating, meaning they only have a 1% chance of obtaining blue-color gains, and a high chance of getting an E-grade item which was considered trash especially to those who had an A-rating before.
But for Adam? Now that he knew the existence of light-color, a blue-color was not attractive to him anymore.
Aside from that, what if he activates his skill 'Extreme Luck' when using a roulette ticket?
'wahhhh'
Adam overjoyed at the possibility of obtaining a new light-color item and imagined himself being enveloped with light-color items.
Unfortunately, the skill cooldown was 5 days, so he had to wait for another five days before using another ticket.
So first, he planned which ticket to use first...
'Random ticket was somehow tricky so it's a passed, same with miscellaneous and title ticket... Now let's choose between the remaining item and the skill book ticket.', he thought
Adam doesn't have any weapon right now so an item ticket was indeed a smart choice but upon giving it some thought, an item ticket varied from different kinds of items.
There's the armor, weapon, accessories, and so on...
So in general, he only had almost 30% of obtaining a weapon, and what if he drew a bow or a scimitar? He cant use those weapons and on practical, it takes time to learn how to wield them. Due to this, he gave up the thought of using an item ticket first.
'so, its skill book ticket then!', Adam thought excitedly
Skill book as the name suggests contains skill of different variety. Though it's like this, considering his high amount of mana, no matter what kind of skill book he obtained, he can use it repeatedly.
Of course, there's the limitation of those skills with high mana consumption.
But among all the tickets he had, he considered the skill book as a necessity right now, as he needed a skill that can eliminate his enemy with 'one swoop'.
Actually, he wasn't proficient in using any kind of weapon and learning how to use one needed months or even years of diligent training, and he didn't have the luxury to do that.
'I'm no protagonist so learning one was a hassle.'
So like others, he prefers being a DPS or damage dealer. Especially those mages or spellcasters who only needed skill points in order to wield any skills!
After contemplating about it... He then chooses the skill book roulette ticket
[ ×1 Skill book roulette ticket used ]
As soon as the message appeared, Adams' consciousness was transferred to the same room as before with only huge roulette inside.
After a while, the roulette starts spinning...
Of course, he didn't activate the skill 'Extreme Luck' immediately as it only works within 1 second so he had to find an exact timing...
After seconds of gazing at the roulette, its spinning speed starts to decrease, meaning it was near on stopping!
'not yet'
...
'not yet'
Adam thought as he felt like every second was like an eternity...
'Now!'
'Extreme Luck Activate!', Adam thought as the roulette is moving slowly now
[ Skill 'Extreme Luck' used ]
[ Extreme luck will descend on the Chosen within 1 second... ]
'Ding'
[ Skill 'Extreme Luck' is now on cooldown ]
[ Remaining time: 5 days ]
Adam had no time to look at the consecutive messages as his focus was solely on the needle on the roulette!
'it's between red and orange again! ', Adam overjoyed as it was the same position as before!
And as if to validate his thought, a message appears again...
[ Congratulations for drawing an SSS-Grade Skill Book 'Absolute' ]
'Wahhhhhhh, it's an SSS-Grade again!'
Adam had no time to check his newly attained skill book as his consciousness was then transported back to his body.
---
Soon, he opened his eyes which flickered with excitement and immediately checked the skill book...
[ Absolute (SSS-Grade): A skill book containing 10 skills with different requirements needed to unlock
Skill #1: '???' Summon (Active)
Description: An absolute ??? will appear upon activation, the size of ??? is directly proportional to Chosen's mana. Also, the ??? durability, attack power, defensive power, etc. varies depending on the amount of mana supplied.
Skill #2: needed 10,000 mana to unlock
Skill #3: needed 100,000 mana to unlock
Skill #4: needed 1,000,000 mana to unlock
....
..
Skill #10: needed 1 trillion mana to unlock ]
'ehhh?'
'1 trillion?, that's too high!'
Adam was bewildered at the mana required just to unlock the necessary skill. Aside from that, he was also shocked that this skill book contains ten skills!
Normally, a skill book contains only one skill no matter what grade it was. But upon giving it some thought, it was an SSS-Grade skill book so it's not good to apply common sense on this case.
Still, he was somewhat hesitant at learning this skill as a Chosen can only have a total of 15 skills! That's why others prefer just learning only one skill when they are low-level and just learn higher-level skills when they achieved level 700 and so on...
Since skills cant be deleted and such, Adam was contemplating about it. Especially because the skill book offers 10 skills, meaning, he can just learn 5 more skills!
He already had skills in mind like some stealth skills, levitation skills, and such which he thinks was awesome.
Imagine flying in the air like those in novels? It was indeed such a feat to achieve!
After contemplating, Adam decided to give it a try as he doesn't have any skill book to choose from anyway, so he immediately put the skill book on his chest then absorbed the skill book...
[ Congratulations, You have learned an SSS-Grade Skill 'Absolute' ]
[ Due to the Skill Book's nature, an Occupation is given ]
[ Occupation 'Absolute Chosen' has been acquired ]
[ Absolute Chosen - An Occupation that's given to the only absolute skill wielder
Effects
: +1000 Hp per level
: +1000 Mp per level
: Increases the power of all absolute skills by 50%
: Reduces the cooldown of all absolute skills by 50%
: +5 attribute points acquisition per level
: +1 skill point acquisition per major breakthrough ]
'!'
Speechless, that was all Adam could be. First of all, he didn't expect that he would awaken an occupation just by absorbing a skill book, second, the effect of the occupation was so massive!
In normal cases, an occupation would only have an effect of increasing someone's battle prowess by 20%, which is the highest to ever be recorded!
Also, there's no option such as adding 5 attribute points per level and +1 skill points per major breakthrough (every 100 level).
Now, with Adams SSS-Grade's unique skill and Occupation, Adam can have 15 attribute points gained per level! Which others normally take 15 levels, especially E-grade!
If someone were to know this, they would definitely try to scout Adam into their guilds no matter what!
Soon, Adam collected his thought and immediately checked his status window again.
