Acquired the skills:
He left me with more questions than I can wrap my head around. The only thing I understood from all that was that I need to get stronger, even stronger than I am. I need to get strong enough to win against her one day, and be able to look for answers. Only those with great power seem to know anything, meaning acquiring answers from them will require me to be able to stand up against them. Sapphire pondered as she staggered her way back.
"Where were you this entire time?" Winter questioned as Sapphire returned. "And what happened to you?" She exclaimed after one look at Sapphire, rushing to her side in an instant.
"Just got in a little fight with a dragon, an Ancient Fire Dragon, he was pretty strong but nothing I can't handle." Sapphire shrugged pulling out the crystal to show Winter.
The crystal was bright red in color with orange and black veins throughout it. It was slightly bigger than Sapphire's fist, which was why she was barely able to hold it with just one hand.
"J-just what are you?" Winter questioned stumbling slightly to her side in shock.
"A wolf, a strong one at that I think." Sapphire shrugged with a smirk, blood drops raining on the ground from her body.
"All that aside–" Winter pulled Sapphire closer and made her sit down– "you are in no condition to be standing right now, rest for now please." A green magic circle appeared on her hand as she used healing magic. Sapphire smiled warmly at Winter, who was far too worried about Sapphire's injuries to notice it. "Didn't you eat the dragon? Did it not heal you?" Winter questioned, panicking.
"No, I didn't feel like eating him." Sapphire sighed. "I simply took the crystal and left, the ending of the battle left a bad taste in my mouth."
"You idiot!" Winter scolded after healing Sapphire's injuries enough to stop further bleeding and poking at a cut on her shoulder to make her flinch. "Stay right here and don't you dare move till I get back, I will bring you food, a lot of it, and if I see you having moved even a little bit I am eating all of it right in front of you."
"I think I do need a lot of food, and please don't eat it or I might die." Sapphire chuckled weakly as she rolled over.
"Don't you dare move from there then!" Winter warned as she rushed away.
Sapphire weakly nodded and kept lying down peacefully, smiling, knowing that she wasn't alone.

Skills:
Now that I think about it, there are some skills whose functions I haven't seen yet. What is Blessing of the Night?
"Skill info: Blessing of the Night: No info available at this level."
What about Child of Destruction?
"Skill info: Child of Destruction: No info available at this level."
Fearless?
"Skill info: Fearless: A skill bestowed to those who show no sign of fear even in the face of death. Nullifies fear effect from being applied on the user and enhances fear effect applied on enemies. While facing a stronger enemy any of their skills which decrease stats have no effect on the wielder of this skill. Also grants a stat boost when facing a stronger enemy after the skill reaches level 10."
Realist? Wasn't there a merciless skill before?
"Skill info: Realist: The skill bestowed to those who act rationally according to the situation. Removes the Mercy and Merciless skills from the wielder of this skill, and grants the user the effects of both with additional effects. Merciless Effects: The ability to insta-kill an enemy that has lost the will to fight. Killing such an enemy will yield 1.5 times the xp and has a 0.2% chance to gain some of their skills and stats. Mercy Effects: Healing abilities are greatly increased when applying healing to others. Saving the life of someone has a 0.2% chance of granting some of their stats and skills to the wielder. Realist Effects: Helps the user to think straight in any situation. Grants the user a stat boost under certain conditions which vary based on situations."
I don't really understand that skill. Regardless, what is the Demon Lord skill?!
"Skill info: Demon Lord: A skill bestowed to those who have performed deeds worthy of a Demon Lord, can only be gained by those with monster blood. Grants the wielder a stat growth boost along with a boost in effectiveness of skills. Those who have gained this skill have proven themselves worthy of becoming a Demon Lord and can challenge a Greater Demon Lord for their rank. There can only be two Demon Lords in any world at the same point in time, and only one Greater Demon Lord not including the two."
What does defeating a Greater Demon Lord do?
"Challenge info: Greater Demon Lord battle: Grants the victor the title of Greater Demon Lord, if it wasn't already present. The victor has the right to decide what to do with the defeated, kill them or spare them. The Greater Demon Lord title grants the Greater Demon Lord skill, which grants a stat boost along with a stat growth boost and further increases the effectiveness of skills, and grants the user the authority to challenge a Guardian."
Sounds like hard work. What is Princess of Shadows?
"Skill info: Princess of Shadows: A unique skill made for the one that is born as the shadow of the Empress. Increases effectiveness of Shadow and Dark based skills and magic by 5 times. Grants a 5 times stat boost while defending the Empress. When fighting against the Empress reduces the effectiveness of the Empress' skills and attacks by 10%. Allows the wielder to exercise complete control over shadows and increases the power of Shadow Warriors to 30% of the user's stats."
A unique skill? Shadow of the Empress? Give info of the title 'The Empress'.
"Title info: The Empress: The title bestowed to the rightful heir to the throne after the death of the Goddess. The title has no effects of itself and nullifies the effects of other titles and stat boost skills the wielder possess. The title serves to test The Empress's own strength to its maximum, acting as a hindrance of sorts to limit her powers. Note: due to the failure of the other measures taken to restrain the power of The Empress this measure was reinforced by The Creator, deeming her too powerful to exist."
That is quite concerning... True Successor?
"Title info: The True Successor: The title possessed by the true successor of the Goddess. The title has no effects and only serves to aid in recognition."
God Slayer?
"Title info: God Slayer: The title bestowed to one that has slain a godly being, or one equal in strength. Increases the effectiveness of attacks against stronger enemies along with granting a stat boost and skill effectiveness boost when facing a stronger enemy."
But her other title nullifies it. Indestructible?
"Title Info: Indestructible: The title bestowed to the one that has proven themselves to be near indestructible by surviving attacks capable of destroying entire kingdoms. Further increases defense and regenerative abilities."
Also nullified. Vampire Princess?
"Title Info: Vampire Princess: The title bestowed to a member of the true bloodline of vampires. Grants the ability to gain the stats and skills of those devoured, though only 5% of the stats and all skills at their lowest level and stage. The effects of this title can NOT be nullified by any other title, skill, magic, or seal."
So that is the only thing she has, yet. Phoenix Princess?
"Title Info: Phoenix Princess: The title bestowed to a member of the true bloodline of Ancient Phoenixes. Grants the ability to use the True Phoenixal Arts along with complete immunity to all types of fire based attacks. Also allows the flames produced by the wielder of this title to only damage their targets and nothing else. The effects of this title can NOT be nullified by any other title, skill, magic, or seal."
That is quite useful. Offspring of Chaos?
"Title Info: Offspring of Chaos: The title bestowed to the one born with a natural affinity for Chaos and is NOT a Chaos Incarnate. This title exists for the impossible possibility that someone may be born with such a power, though the gods believed this title will never be bestowed to any. The title serves only as recognition."
That was very informative. True Krystallite?
"Title Info: True Krystallite: Information of this title is not meant to be known. Any related information has been forbidden by 'The Creator'."
Who is The Creator?
"Unknown."
Has he restricted information regarding himself as well?
"Yes, and it's best you do not attempt to find out about me before time." A male voice advised instead of Appraisal's monotonous female voice.
Sapphire lay there quietly for a few moments before choosing to not think too hard about what she heard and avoid the topic as directed. Random question, how many worlds are there in existence?
"16,894,616,985," Appraisal replied in the usual monotonous voice.
Just what is that number? I was expecting it to call me stupid for thinking there were multiple worlds, but it just showed a number too big for me to understand. Another random question, how does one obtain the power to travel between worlds? If that is even a thing.
"Skill Info: World Travel: Allows the user to travel between worlds. Higher levels increase the distance the user can travel and reduces the cooldown. At level 1 user can travel to adjacent worlds, usually 3-9 possible travel points, and has to wait 30 days before using it again. Each level increases the distance by 1 world and reduces cooldown by 30 minutes. The only way to obtain the skill is by defeating a World Guardian. To challenge the world Guardian the challenger must be a Greater Hero or Greater Demon Lord. There can only be one Greater Hero and Greater Demon Lord each in one world, the title is transferred to whoever kills the current. One person is only permitted to wield one of the two titles and can NOT possess both simultaneously."
So I can't challenge the world guardian currently. I will have to decide on what to do next soon, this is a bit too much for me to wrap my head around.
