Chereads / RISE OF A NEW INTER-GALATIC EMPIRE / Chapter 5 - Skill Choosing Part 1

Chapter 5 - Skill Choosing Part 1

The first thing I did was to sort out through all the Skills that the God of Creation shoved into my mind.

  It was important for me that not only I have a deep understanding on the advantages and disadvantages of each of the skills themselves but also the knowledge about the world or universe that I will be reincarnated into.

  The total number of skills was insanely huge. To be more precise, there were 135,984 skills in total.

  In that world/universe where technology had advanced so far into the future, even though there where technologies such as energy based weapons and magic devices that can create warp gates that helps spaceships to move from one system to another instantly, surprisingly, medieval based melee weapons such as sword were still in wide use mainly by all High-Beings such as High-Humans and etc. These High Humans can use the mana within their body to control Armoured Combat Suit or Mobile Knights. These suits which are mainly equipped with melee weapons to fight some deadly creatures within the darkness of space which are able to resist damages from energy based weapon and kinetic based weapon beside mana enhanced weapons. This is mainly due to bullets and lasers can't be enhanced by mana without the mana dispersing when fired, melee weapons such as swords that can be continuously supplied mana by the users which had became an important weapon on the battlefield. 

  Hence High Beings wearing Armoured Combat Suits are able to control and flow mana around the suit and coating the melee weapons they wield to kill these creatures which are quite common within these universe. Furthermore, High Beings also are able to sense when people are shooting at them and deflect it. Not only humans can have High Humans, but other races in this world that able to use mana are considered a higher race within their own race such as High Elves, High Demons, High Angels and et cetera.

  Although the existence of Skills within that world/universe is still unknown to many, essentially, for a person with skills, skills can help them become a genius or simplifies the things related to their skills. For example, a person with the skill mana-control are able to control their mana precisely, while people with the skill marksmanship are able to snipe a person with only a basic pistol on the forehead at range of hundreds of meters with ease. Unfortunately, there are also useless skills such as cross-dressing, masochist and incompetent, to name a few.

  Skills are divided into five ranks: A, B, C, D and E, and I can only choose two for each rank. Although most people can have five random skills at most although I am a Champion.

  A: 1/100,000,000 chance

  B: 1/1,000,000 chance

  C: 1/10,000 chance

  D: 1/100 chance

  E: 1/1 chance

  The probability of being given a skill differed depending on the rank. In theory, it was possible for a person to be born with a skill from every rank. But the chances for a person to get an A-Rank skill alone were in one in one hundred million. That meant the probability of being born with a skill from each of the five ranks was…

  …one in one hundred quintillion. Which was almost impossible to happen in real life.

  I can be considered extremely lucky for being given the responsibility to choose my own skills since most people are born only with a single E-Rank skill.

  I decided the best way to choose my skills would be to select my first skills from the most rarest and powerful categories, A-Rank, and then choose the following skills that are best at complementing with it.

  "Just like I expected, each of the A-Rank skills can be considered somekind of strategic weapon with power that it holds." I muttered.

  Just having an A-Rank skill was enough to make someone the most powerful person in universe.

  Magic Weapon Summoner: Allow the possessor of this skill to summon and wield any type of weapon based on mana as long as they can imagine which depending on user's strength and mana control.

  Based on the skills description, this skill is extremely powerful depending on how someone uses it since a person can create any type of weapon as long they know how it works and know how to control it.

  Holy Aura: Envelops the possessor of this skill with a shining gold aura that can increase their strength, defense, agility and holiness depending on possessor amount of mana, mana control and belief towards those who bless the possessor.

  The name of the skill is a bit vague, but I think even a small kid can lift a tank with this skill activated. It have a lot of potential but condition to use this skill is hard to understand. So I'm going to leave this skill first unless I can't find anything better besides it.

  Mark of Submission: Allows possessor to control their opponent by creating a magic mark on the target's forehead.

  This skill can help anyone with it to create a personal loyal army which is in complete control of them. There is a downside however, when the mark is made on a person with higher amount of mana or better mana control than the user, the target can resist it with their own mana. Meaning, the user can only control people that are willing to submit or are weaker than themselves.

  Monster Creator: Allows possessor to create monsters using any monster related materials and command them into battle.

  This skill will enable me to create an army of monsters. It seems that the monster created from this skill uses monsters corpses and magical stones. There a lot of ways to use this skill.

  There are not a lot of A-Rank skills for me to choose since most A-Rank skills are unique under which God a person believes in. The A-Rank skills that I can choose are mostly related to the God of Creation since I am his Champion. For B-Rank skills and below, they are not influenced by the Gods they believe in.

  My top priority when choosing a skill is to make sure it have enough firepower to defeat the Fallen God's Champion and his goons. He have absorbed a lot of skills from other Champions he have defeated, which I have no knowledge on the amount and what type of skills he have. That means the first time we meet on the battlefield needs to be the last before he can become stronger.

  The skills I chosen also going need to be versatile. A lot of things can go wrong on the battlefield during my battle with him. Flexibility will be needed if I am going to recover from any type of surprises from him during our future battle.
