'I was wondering... In my past life, I was able to create new skills. With my creation magic, would I be able to create skills quicker..? Maybe I can create some kind of martial arts using my shadow, lightning, and wind magic.'
Rem thought of her past life's martial arts.
'Is it possible for me to do martial arts while being stealthy, and fast..? I've learned all kinds of martial arts from my past life. Should I combine them into one skill..?'
{You would need to understand how the skill you want to create works. Creating a skill would need experience and MP.}
'Oh, I see. Then I'll combine all kinds of martial arts and sword skills I've learned from my past life. This could turn into one skill. I understand all of them perfectly so it shouldn't be a problem.'
After a few hours of thinking about what her skill should be, Rem heard a voice.
{You Have Successfully Created A New Skill. Would You Like To Name This Skill?}
'Whoa! It actually worked!!!' Rem was surprised.
Creating one skill that took her years but with Creation Magic, it only took her a few hours.
[Yes/No]
{What Would You Name This Skill?}
'What should I name it? It has to sound cool. Which name sound cool..? Urg... I'll just name it Silent Blade Arts.'
{Would You Name This Skill, Silent Blade Arts?}
[Yes/No]
{Name Successfully Created!}
'Wow... That drained so much of my MP. I still have two-thirds of my MP left. Should I create another skill..? Since creating one skill takes up a third of my MP, I should be able to create a new skill two more times. I should save some MP for later. For now, I'll create another skill. What skill should I create..? Instead of creating a physical skill, I should try creating a magic skill too. Shadow magic is my strongest so I'll create a shadow element skill! I've read so many mangas about the main character being able to tame slimes. I want a skill similar to that..! I think I know the perfect skill to create!' Rem began imagining how her skill will be like.
'Instead of slimes, I want my shadow magic to turn into beings that can fly and gather all the data around me. Maybe some kind of bird... A crow..! I can use my shadow magic to create crows!' Rem thought of all the details she wanted her skill to be like.
After a few hours, she was finally able to create the skill she wanted.
{You Have Successfully Created A New Skill. Would You Like To Name This Skill?}
[Yes/No]
'As I thought..! It worked! Should I name this skill? I don't know what to name it... I'll just leave it to the system to choose for me.'
{Would You Like To Name This Skill, Shadow Creation?}
[Yes/No]
'Hmmm... Why not.'
{Name Successfully Created!}
'Great!' Rem looked at her new skill's description.
[Use the shadow element to create a living being made out of your shadow magic. Command the shadow what you want it to do and it will follow your commands. When you create something, you will be able to give it a name and a role. After creating something, it will become permanent. You will be able to decide whether or not you want your creation to be out.]
[MP Cost: Depends on how large your creation is.]
[Cooldown Time: 0]
'Ohhh..! I'll try creating a crow made out of my shadow magic right now!' Rem used her Shadow Creation skill and began shaping her shadow magic into shapes.
'There! With my good memories, I can create the perfect crow..! It's quite big for a bird, but that's fine.' Rem successfully created a shadow crow.
The shadow crow looked exactly like a normal crow.
'Obviously, this is not alive since it's made out of my magic. It acts as a living being but it doesn't have any heartbeat. Let's see... What should I command it to do..?' Rem thought of a few things.
'I should probably name it first. From now on, your name is Karasu. Karasu in Japanese means crow so and you look like a crow so your name shall be Karasu. Does the crow know what I'm thinking..? Karasu, you can make sound, right? If you understand what I'm thinking, make a sound.'
"Cawww!"
'So you know what I'm thinking..? Great! Your name is Karasu from now on, okay? You will be in charge of looking around the area, and telling me what is happening.'
"Cawww!" Karasu flapped its wings and rested on Rem's arm.
'Is it possible to save my creation..?' Rem deactivated her Shadow Creation skill and reactivated it.
A blue screen appeared in front of Rem.
[Karasu]
'Good thing it saves.' Rem summoned Karasu and inspected its stats.
[Name: Karasu]
[Role: Inspector]
[Race: N/A]
[HP: N/A]
[MP: N/A]
[Element: Shadow]
'As expected. My creation is not an actual living being so it does not have any HP or MP. Since it's made out of my shadow magic, if it gets attacked, it probably won't disappear or get hurt because it's not a living being. Maybe I should attack it and test it out first. Karasu, I'm going to attack you with physical and magic attacks to test something out, okay?'
"Cawww!" Karasu agreed.
Rem used her daggers and slashed the crow made out of Rem's shadow magic. Karasu only lost its shape but it quickly changed back to its regular form.
'I was right! They don't get hurt from physical attacks. Maybe a magic attack would hurt it.' Rem attacked the shadow crow with magic.
The same thing happened.
'I don't have light magic so I can't test that... Karasu, you would probably get hurt from light magic since you are made out of shadows... That's quite a disadvantage. As long as you don't get hurt by light magic, I'm sure you will be fine.'
"Cawww!" The crow flapped its wings.
'You can come back now. I'll call you out when I need you. I don't want others to see you...' Rem deactivated her Shadow Creation skill and Karasu vanished.
'I didn't look or test out my Silent Blade Arts skill yet.' Rem decided to test that skill out so she ran to a nearby tree.
'I'll check the description of this skill before I do anything...'
[You can use all kinds of martial arts. When you use a weapon or any kind of martial arts, your STR will triple. When you activate this skill, all your movements will be silent and others will have a hard time detecting you. Your speed will also increase by double when you use this skill.]
[Cost: A lot of stamina.]
[Cooldown Time: 0]
'Wowww!!! A SSS ranked skill.! Testing this skill out on this tree won't be a problem...' Rem thought.
Rem activated her Silent Blade Arts skill. She used her martial arts and kicked the tree using a little force. This made the tree collapse.
'Oh, no... Maybe I shouldn't have done that. I'll just test that skill a bit more when I fight. This is way too strong! Time to get out of here first!!!' Rem ran to her dorm room and sighed.
'I really need a better weapon right now. I really hate changing weapons whenever I become stronger... It's so annoying. Is there a weapon that I can use forever without changing it every 10 or so levels???'
{Yes, there are.}
'What..? Where?'
{You can craft them.}
'Really??? Then why didn't you tell me earlier??!'
{You never asked.}
'Whatever. Crafting..? Hmmm... I might as well check it out right now.'
