Chapter 5 - Chapter 4

Now that he knew all of his abilities, he was excited to get started on using and improving his abilities.

First of all, he needs to pick a skill that he can connect to his Job. He has five Skills at the moment; Combine, Status Viewing, Taming, Summoning, and Time Magic. Combine would be a good candidate, however to Level Combine Up, he would need to have more Skills than he has at the moment and Combine them. At the moment, he was still not sure whether Skills are as easy to come by as he imagined, and if Skills really are hard to come by, especially because he had no one to copy from at the moment, it would be a long process to Level his Job Up to Level 2.

Status Viewing is an excellent one to integrate too, because all he would have to do to Level it Up would be to look at his Status however many times, which is all that he could do at the moment considering he was stuck on a cave, with only water in the middle of it... How would he eat? The moment the thought went through Chron's mind, he panicked, however not for long because he remembered that he could just Summon that 'Great' Red Chick anytime. He didn't have to sacrifice his own wellbeing just to follow his orders to the T.

"Pfft." The moment he remembered what the 'Great' Phoenix turned into he couldn't help but laugh again. After that short episode, he continued pondering about what Skill he would connect to his Job.

Taming, Summoning, and Time Magic cannot be connected to his Job at the moment - is what he realized after much more pondering. Taming could not be Leveled Up at the moment, because as anyone could see there's nothing in the cave, which means there's no Beasts to tame, unless rocks can be tamed too, the thought of maybe Taming Rocks made Chron want to really try it, however without knowing if it was really possible, he unfortunately couldn't connect the Skill to his Job.

Summoning, on the other hand would only Level Up if he repeatedly summoned the 'Great' Red Chick, which was good if he was aiming to annoy that Chick, but bad because the Chick could also kill him anytime he wanted to. Finally, Time Magic was one Skill he would never connect to his Job, because if it's on the same Level as his other Skills, he would die.

Well, now that all that pondering is done, Chron settled on connecting his Status Viewing Skill onto his Job, so he immediately opened his Status and did that... What the, why is nothing happening? He thought that something on the lines of light would emit from him and he would levitate into the air, however even a little bit of light didn't come out of him, it was anticlimactic. Okaaay, maybe he expected too much, when what he did was just connect his skill onto his Job, but can you blame him? He imagined that happening to him for a long time now.

Nothing might have happened to him, his Status however changed.

After the Job fiasco, Chron now wanted to try his Combine Skill, and the first 2 Skills he qanted to Combine was BeastTaming and Summoning, however he was disappointed by the pop-up that appeared.

[Skills' Compatibility not enough, Cannot be Combined]

He was very confused, the 2 Skills are both about Pets, so how could they not be Compatible? After thinking though, he realized why, Taming and Summoning are two very different concepts so it really is not surprising that they can't be combined.

Well, now that he knew he cant use Combine at the moment, he thought of something he can do. His Time Spells was the next he wanted to test, however he realized that there's no need to test them now. Time Acceleration would not be fun to use at the moment, he doesn't have any kind of reference on whether Time really sped up for him and he's not using it to speed up his Time because he still need to pass 1,000 years to get out of his current prison. Visions of the Past is also not good because the cave looked like it had not been touched for more than a thousand years, he knows because he was an archeologist once, and he can only see events that happened the day before. Rewind on the other hand is a very important lifeline Skill, and he wouldn't want to use it just because he's curious.

He also couldn't Level his Skills Up at the moment because he would die, he would need to Level Time Magic Up first to be safe, which he does not want to do right now because again his Time Spells at the moment is a bit boring, he would do it tomorrow, when he's had enough fun.

The last thing he wanted to test was whether he could use his memories to learn his previous life Skills. So without further ado, he recalled the times when he was a Martial Artist and did Martial Arts according to his memory.

After a couple hours of repeatedly doing kicks, punched - Martial Arts things, a pop-up finally appeared in front of Chron.

[You have learned new Skills: Punching, Kicking, Acrobat, Clear Memory]

Well, that solved Chron's question of how easy it was to get Skills.
