Chapter 6: My First Skill.
"System, try creating the skill Invisibility."
Felix said as he raised his hopes in trying to create a skill that many people of 'culture' would wish to use for gathering some important information regarding forbidden in-depth gender interaction.
[Processing the skill's power scale....grading the skill....estimating the possible points required.....skill successfully moduled.]
[Ding!]
[Skill Name: Invisibility
Description:
Allows the user from being impossible to be seen or perceived by any sight sense.
Cost: 8000 skill points]
"Uughh!'
Felix groaned at how even this skill was not something he could afford at the moment.
'Ehh...What do to now? Maybe something like a basic stealth move would be good.'
He tried imagining himself walking around covertly and people not looking in his direction as he walked by.
Even though it was a bit hard to do that, he forcibly calmed his mind and made use of whatever ideas came into his mind. He finally said,
"System, give me a skill that allows me to move around stealthily and makes my presence seem to go unnoticed"
[Processing the skill's power scale....grading the skill....estimating the possible points required.....skill successfully moduled.]
[Ding!]
[Skill Name: ??
Description:
Makes your aura and sound undetectable and lowers the overall presence. Your footsteps become untraceable. The skill does not work on someone if the user is in their sight. No effect on beings two ranks higher than the user.
Cost: 10 skill points.]
"Hmm this...it's not that strong but it works in my situation." Not wanting to waste more time in this place, Felix asked the system to confirm this skill as the one he wanted to create.
"System, create this skill."
[Please name the skill before you create it.]
'name? well...'
"Name the skill as 'Silent steps', yes that seems nice."
[Do you wish to use 10 skill points and create the skill 'Silent Steps'?]
"Yes"
[Ding!]
[Successfully created a new skill!]
Hearing the chime from the system Felix looked around but didn't see anything change or feel any different.
Somewhat suspicious of having become the victim of a scam before, he asked cautiously.
"So....how do I use the skill or am I getting scammed?"
[The host is advised to think of doing the skill and you'll be able to use it.]
'Okay let's go.'
Felix thought about using the skill 'Silent Steps' as he started walking around the room and slowly but surely his steps became inaudible, as he felt like moving like a ghost even slightly increasing his speed.
'If I'm right and if the system is telling the truth, maybe I can use this skill to slowly walk out of this place and run away the moment I'm far enough.'
He took a deep breath calming his pounding heart and moved towards the door of the broken house. Slowly poking his head out of the door, his bruised eyes became blinded by sunlight as he hurriedly focused on the outside situation.
There he saw the other man who was called 'Master' by the pervert guy standing near the carriage still looking at his small booklet with a frown.
Seeing that the man was busy with his work, Felix looked around the place to get a better look at where he was.
It looked like he was at a farm-like place that had a few broken buildings in the compound with a slightly one-meter-tall fence that seemed too easy for robbers to climb in from surrounding the farm.
The farm had a wooden gate that seemed to have been opened up by them.
There was also a dilapidated well in the middle, but considering the harsh sunlight it must have already dried up.
Outside the farm, it looked to be a forest with tall unfamiliar trees on all sides.
Felix quickly decided to make a plan as he sorted out his thoughts.
'There's no way I can walk right out of the gates as that guy is right beside them. So, jumping over the fence seems to be the only way I can escape from here.'
Felix quickly made a plan before thinking something as he entered back into the room and knelt beside the corpse of the huge guy.
"You shitbag! Be proud that the great me is going to loot you now hehe."
Giving back what the pervert had said to him, he moved his hands around the huge body searching his pockets and jacket.
He found a wallet which he kept aside and some ID cards with the guy's face which he threw away.
Realizing that he couldn't put the wallet anywhere, while the huge guy's clothes were too big for him to fit. He took out the guy's belt and tied it around his waist.
'Well before it was ropes tying me and now it's a belt. I swear I don't have any weird fetish of getting myself tied.'
Tightening the belt, he looked at the knife stabbed into the chest of the guy and slowly took it out.
'For my safety, I better take this.'
He took the knife and cleaned it using the guy's jacket as he didn't want to carry blood with him.
After doing that he looked at the knife's reflection but couldn't see his face on it clearly as it was earlier splashed by blood.
'Wow, I look like a psycho with all the blood on.'
Again using the guy's jacket, he cleaned his face a bit but then decided not to waste any more time.
He inserted the knife in the belt like how a pirate would do and took the wallet which he made the middle part of it enter the belt.
'Huff! All that I need to do now is to make a successful escape and run away from here before that man realizes what's happening and comes to catch me.'
Felix thought as his eyes became determined while calming his heart that seemed to come out of his throat.
Taking steady steps and his hands trembling a bit as he walked towards the door, he wished himself luck.
Now ready, he stood at the door to finally start his escape from this place where he could have been ra*ed and possibly sacrificed in some evil ritual.
