Chapter 100 - Unlocking Skills (2/2)

Ray thought this skill would be useful, if he wanted to change the human race and fight the shadow plague, then he needed an army and not the current one that was under control of the Alure kingdom. The kingdom was already a mess without them realising it.

There was no way to tell who wouldn't betray them and who wouldn't. The Dark guild and Pureblood members were already deeply rooted at the top. What Ray needed was dedicated followers, an army of his own. This skill would prove incredibly useful in the future when needing powerful allies.

The second skill he had obtained was Endless void. Just when Ray was struggling to think of where to put his items, the perfect skill came right in front of him. It was as if the system was watching him from above.

Endless void was a separate space that only Ray had access to. Just like the name stated, it was endless. This meant he would be able to store anything he wanted in this space and pull it out when he wanted to.

Ray realised that there was a problem with using his second identity Nes. A lot of the public had seen him wearing the armour he had just bought. Which meant while Ray was in the academy, he wouldn't be able to wear the armour.

Ray thought the best thing to do would be to get two sets of equipment. One set for Nes where he could be the rich great powerful adventurer who didn't need to hold back or hide his abilities and one set for the student Ray, who was one of the best knights at Avrion academy.

After obtaining these two skills though, Ray thought back to the connections between all these events. What made the system say ”Task complete.”?

All of them had one thing in common.

Ray had saved a human life. Ray, of course, wasn't sure about this theory but it was the only thing that made sense so far. The current two skills he had obtained had nothing to do with fighting magical beasts.

But there were a few things that were troubling him.

The first time he had unlocked a skill, he saved Gary and Amy in the forest. If he had saved two people back then why didn't he receive two skills? There was also the time he had defeated the minotaur, he had protected Gary, Monk and Jasmine yet only received one skill.

Ray looked back at all the events that led him to learn skills and when he shouldn't have. Gary with the black wolf, The old man with the Dark guild, Jasmine and the others with the minotaur, Jack with the pureblood members and the two kids from the fire.

If the system truly gave him a skill every time, he saved a life then he should have got one for Amy with the wolf, Gary when he thought against Monk, two more skills against the minotaur and when he fought against pureblood with Gary.

Then it hit him, perhaps the system only granted a skill for every life you had saved and didn't count it if it was multiple times. Gary had already been saved when he was younger, so he no longer got any skills from it.

With the other incidents that weren't related to Gary, Ray had a theory about those too. While fighting the minotaur Monk was the least injured out of all of them. Maybe Monk's life wasn't saved that day but only Jasmines.

Of course, right now these were all theories running through his head. Ray wanted to test this theory as soon as possible. If it was true, finally he would be closer to getting his powers back. The problem was it wasn't like someone was in a near-death situation every day that Ray could stop.

He would just have to wait until the next opportunity to come up. To see if it was true.
