A library is called a library if it has books. I peered into the so called clean room where I only saw a old lady sitting in and reading a book.
Even if I use my brain I wont understand the situation it is better, I talk to her.
As I approached her she lay three crystal balls in front me. I couldn't understand her action, but Areena calmly observed them and said to me to watch those crystals with your intent behind it.
I first chose the black crystal with my intent, even with my intent I couldn't find What is in it, I thought maybe the skill in the crystal is not suited for me, I layer on the grey and the white on but the result remained the same.
Seeing it the Old lady shook her head, and tapped the table twice.
The three crystal showed opened and shown with three videos.
on the black crystal I saw a man charging with his sword and attacking the enemy, the only speciality I could understand was the tip was shining.
As the old lady understood my intent, she played the audio too.

Ass the crystal went off as I removed my attention from it. Though I have an which skill I want , I still want to hear opinion of Areena.
She whispered slowly into my ears, as her air tickled my ears I wanted to go straight to the heaven but time doesn't allow it, with deep bitterness I had to listen to what she has to say.
"Blade choose the pentagonal defence, it is extremely best for attack and defence, those who have chosen it have high position in the army, it is the best among them"
"Why not the other two?"
"The first one needs high precision that many couldn't have; for the second one augh it only increases the proficiency of the weapon you use, though it start with the basic of all weapons, who do not know any basic"
That's me, I have been stripped of all the skills I have learnt, isn't that the better one.
"I choose the second one"
??
I really want to explain to her, but I don't want to deepen the pity. I don't like that pity.
Now she is looking at me with those displeasing eye, but sorry Areena with ought basics I am hollow.
The old lady nodded her head and pushed the grey crystal towards me
As I touched it, it dissolved in my hands and instinctively I realized the basics of Sword, the long lost feelings returned to me.
I felt especially grateful that I could get back what I had lost. I never would regret three decision even if I have to choose again.

Increasing g agility by one point, is not certainly amazing.
I should be content on what I have got.
"lets return to temple"
" Why, temple"
"you still have not your level up system, it is given to those who have achieved their class once they reach level 10, since you have achieved right now, you should get it"
I nodded, and silently walked beside her, there is no change in her tone so I guess she is not mad at me, I couldn't understand why the priestess have not given me the level up system, when I was there, though it is not that of a problem.
Yes, it is not a problem, the path finder will simply absorb the level up system. And you don't need to know how it evaded the eyes of the being who made it.
I don't know much about the function of the system, yet I know little bit that the beings made system so the intelligent species can advance faster. Everybody have the chance to develop equally, nobody have to fight to find the skills they need, all they need is the contribution and their thirst shall be fulfilled.
In a way the world revolves around contributions.
As I thought of all the useless things I reached the temple once again. I could see the familiar priestess becoming me.
I understood instantly that she want to say something arising from pity.
"please, I am ok"
As she understood my intent she lead me into the temple.
" um, who do you believe in Mr. Blade"
" I do not believe in anybody"
"ah"
"Mr. Blade you do know that there are three factions we serve; Light God, human goddess and dark god being their respective leaders"
"Nope"
"hm"
"Blade, Madam Paltera and all the high nobles serve the Light God, Many Men in the Army serve the Dark God"
"And human goddess is served by mainly priestess"
Is she telling me to serve Light God or Dark God, she has her point. If I had the chance I wouldn't want to serve any God. Though it is unlikely that it could happen.
To gain power I have to hold golden thighs, it remains the question whom should I pick not the question of serving or not.
Cause it is simply not possible for an army men not having a God over their head.
But whom will I choose.
