[host class selection confirmed, granting class [Energy] to host]
felling a new power bedside mana slowly being moved inside his soul Mars tensed up for a second before discovering that the new 'part' of him perfectly fit, now feeling like a puzzle that had just been completed by fitting the last and most important piece, Mars let out a comfortable sigh before Info spoke
[host class instillation complete, host please confirm]

looking over his status Mars confirmed his new class and that his Constitution status had dropped by 27 points, feeling his own demise creeping ever closer he asked Info
”can you tell me about class skills?”
[class skills are unique to their own classes, and are therefore impossible for mortals to obtain as they have jobs instead of classes, furthermore class skills get stronger by the class level going up]
”...then can you tell me about the [Energy: absorption] class skill?”
[the [Energy: absorption] class skill absorbs energy from all sources with an efficiency that goes up with class level, and stores it in the [Energy storage] class skill shown by a number. but if the amount of energy absorbed exceeds the cap of the [Energy: storage] class skill then the host will lose an amount of status points equal the amount of excessive energy]
”you said class skills improves with class level, then dose the cap of the [Energy: absorption] go up as my class level dose?”
[yes]
deeming the [Energy: absorption] really powerful but also slightly dangerous Mars asked about the next class skill
”then what dose the [Energy: discharge] class skill do?”
[the [Energy: discharge] class skill discharges energy from the [Energy: storage] class skill in forms of kinetic, thermal and electromagnetic energy from any point on the host body to a target the host is in physically contact with]
”then can i use the [Energy: discharge] class skill to melt these spikes?”
[yes, but the amount of energy needed to completely melt the mythril-titanium alloy spikes exceeds the current cap of the [Energy: storage] class skill by a large margin]
”...can i at least use it to propel me from this prison to the atmosphere of Alfan?”
[yes]
”...well that is one use for that class skill, what about the [Energy: upgrade shop] class skill?”
[the [Energy: upgrade shop] class skill functions like a shop where energy stored in the [Energy: storage] class skill is the currency, offering new class skills and the only way to level up the class level of the [Energy] class]
”how do i activate a class skill?”
[by chanting or simply by willing it]
”well then lets see what's up for offer”
as soon as he willed it the mist like text forming his status transformed before his eyes

”...guess i can only afford to level up for now”
[yes]
”then i guess my current is to melt the spikes and absorb energy from sunlight during the day... wait Info can i use the [Energy: absorption] class skill to harvest thermal energy from my [Dragon-flame magic] skill?”
[no]
his master plan being shot down by Info as quickly as he made it Mars asked Info like a kid being denied candy
”...why not”
[creating energy form nothing goes against the will of the administrator]
”...okay then sunlight it is then”
