"Now to present my godly gifts to you, first I will bestow you with one of my highest blessings, which will last for exactly seven days."
Placing his hand atop Salvatore's head Sid's hand suddenly exuded a magically glow then stopped. Retracting his outstretched hand he then snapped his fingers causing a small golden window to appear which displayed the details of the blessing.
[Superior Blessing Of The Stargod] - You have received the blessing of Sidus Dei the Stargod. The blessing of the Stargod bestows upon you his divine protection. You are immune to external damage from all enemies, and will have hyper-regeneration of health and magic for the duration of this blessing.
[Blessing duration: 7 days]
"What an amazing blessing, this mean that for the next seven days I am practically invincible, he said with a small smile."
"I'm glad you like it, this is after all one of my most expensive blessings."
"Now for my next godly gift I will bequeath you three premium magic skill books of any type of common magic you desire."
"What types of magic skills are their?"
"The common types are illusion, barrier, healing, poison, metal, fire, wind, water, ice, earth, lightning, wood, light, dark, space, sound, binding, curse, and transformation magic. There are of course many other types of magic skills, however in order to gain them will require meeting certain requirements as well as having patience, and especially a lot of luck."
"You said these are the common types, so does that mean that these are the easiest to learn or that everyone know them?"
"They are known as common type skills because as long as you have enough money you can acquire them with little to no effort whatsoever."
"There are two different types of skill books that can be purchased, basic skill books and premium skill books. Basic skill books will impart only a single, low tier skill from a skill tree, while premium skill books will impart the entire skill tree itself, which you can gradually level up to unlock new increasing powerful skills."
"Most people however learn their skill from an instructor instead of a skill book. Skill books are generally only used by the extremely wealthy due to their expensive price tag and one-use limitation."
"How expensive are they actually, in fact what kind of currency is the standard here?"
"My Star Galaxy has a coin based currency system called Rainbow Stars or RS that is used collectively on all the planets, which means any money you earn is usable regardless of where you are in the galaxy."
There are 7 types of coinage.
Gold Stars = 1 stars
Orange Stars = 100 stars
Red Stars = 10,000 stars
Green Stars = 1,000,000 stars
Blue Stars = 100,000,000 stars
Purple Stars = 10,000,000,000 stars
Black Stars = 1,000,000,000,000 stars
"For a basic skill book you would need coinage valued at 1,000,000 stars or 1 green star, for the premium skill books I am giving you, you would need 100,000,000 stars or 1 blue star. To give you a concept of how much that is the average well off household on Goldstar earns 10,000 stars every year."
"So that means that a basic skill book is worth 100 years of a well off households income."
"Yes, however using one enables you to learn a new skill instantly and fully comprehend its concept as opposed to learning from an instructor, which depending on the level of the pupils comprehension can vary anywhere from a few days to several weeks. This tiny difference is the cause of strength gap between commoners and nobles."
"So now that you understand the value of a premium skill book have you decided which three types of magic skills you would like to learn?"
"Yes, I want space, healing, and fire magic."
"Very well" he replied before pulling out three magic skill books from nowhere. Handing them to Salvatore he said "Here you are, three premium magic skill books for the types of magic you wanted."
Salvatore examined the three magic skill books, the first one was red with a flame on the cover, the next one was white with a red heart that had a silver plus in the middle, and the last one was black with thousands of tiny golden stars. the titles were, Combat Magic 101: Fire Magic, The Divine Art of Healing, and Space Magic For Sorcerers.
