Vincent pressed accept anticipating a refreshing sensation in his body or a painful sensation or whatever he read as his time as a reader.
…..
A minute after waiting with nothing happening he decided to go through the options of skills available for him to choose from.
Immediately another hologram opened up to him.
"Show me the mythical skills first," Vincent said.
Following his command, the hologram changed and the skills of mythical rank appeared before his eyes.
[ Mythical Skills ]
[ 1. Atomiser ]
[ 2. Image destruction ]
[ 3. Halo Jump ]
[ 4. Skill Growth ]
[ 5. Stat Multiplier ]
[ 6. Rizz Kid ]
[.... ]
[ Page 1\ 1,357. ]
After seeing just a few skills out of the thousands of pages left for him to look through, Vincent couldn't help but feel a pain in his chest. Since all these skills were game changing skills and yet he could only choose 1 out of thousands. Even if he doesn't go through the remaining pages he would get a satisfying skill just from the first page. I now understand why they were full of smiles while leaving.
"Prince that lucky bastard he gets to choose three mind boggling skills," Vincent muttered under his breath out of spite and frustration.
But what kind of skill is Rizz Kid though, for it to be here even with such a weird name it might be something unbelievable.
First, let me find something out from Defoe.
"So Sir can I take my time to look through the skill description since appearances can be deceiving."
"Sure. Knock yourself out. But first, let me increase time for you so that the rest of the contestants won't feel bored while waiting."
*Snap*!
'This guy he sure is impressive as much as he's annoying.'Vincent could not help but think to himself in awe after Defoe's display though he didn't necessarily feel any substantial change.
What extraordinary power. For my plan to work. I first have to get a perfect memory skill then. Hehe. with an evil smile on his face, he couldn't help but think of the future.
"This kid will surely go places. To not get lost in the excitement of all these skills and have the patience to do something like that I must say. He is very impressive," Defoe couldn't help but admire Vincent after reading his memory and seeing his plans. Since it wasn't illegal he didn't do anything to stop him. Since other contestants had the chance to do it but didn't decide to do so I'll let it slide.
Vincent issued a mental command for the unique skills section to be opened.
'I want a category of skills that deal with memories. '
[ Unique Skills ]
[ 1. Memory manipulation ]
[ 2. Skill Memoire ]
[ 3. Eidetic Memory ]
[ 4. Memory Lock ]
Wow, just four options I should make a thorough analysis before choosing my preferred type of skill. Mike clicked on the memory manipulation skills which showed him a brief description.
[ Memory Manipulation: Allow user to manipulate memories as and when he deems to prevent snooping by external force ]
'I can't get enough of these, it's like they're tailor made just for me I think.' Vincent clicked on the next skill to get the next information.
[ Skill Memoire : This skill allows the user to store skills in the memoire to then practise if the requirements are met. ]
'Outrageous, this skill should be in the mythical ranks. It clearly didn't say the rank with which a skill cannot be copied just that if the requirements are met. On the flip side, what if the requirement is something outrageous. Hmm, might be a double edged sword.' After decoding the description to his understanding he moved on to the next skill.
[ Eidetic Memory : Allows the user to perfectly recall a memory the user has experienced, seen or heard. Any experience that involves any of the 7 senses is not forgotten. ]
After reading the description Vincent tried to contain his excitement but in the end, he couldn't so he shouted out loud
"Woohoo"
'This is what I want. No, this is what I need for me to do "that ". Since I have what I want, there is no need to bother with the last skill. No, this complacency might get me killed one day. It doesn't hurt to check it out.' Vincent clicked on the last skill after sorting his thoughts out.
[ Memory Lock : The bane of all eidetic memory holders. This skill prevents memory access. ]
Vincent couldn't help but break out into cold sweat after seeing the skill description. Thank God. I…
"You're welcome", Defoe interrupted Vincent before he could continue his train of thoughts.
" Not you damn it." Vincent snappily said.
'I want an eidetic memory. Though memory lock can counter it, I only have three chances I would have very much preferred all round but beggers can't be choosers.'
[ Does the user wish to use one of his three choices on Eidetic Memory. ]
[ Accept / Decline ]
I pressed on accept and checked to see if the skill was in the unique skill sections or replaced by another one. To my surprise, there was a new option. This meant that for unique skills true to their name only one person can have them.
[ Unique Skill ]
[ Memory Lag ]
Vincent moved to the mythical skill section to find what best suited him.
....
Scrolling through he occasionally found skills of interest even with their cons.
[ Mythical Skill ]
[ Rizz Kid ]
[ With Unmatched charisma and perspicacity allows the user to influence anyone and everyone unless the deemed target has a higher mental strength or charisma than the user ]
[ Mythical skills ]
Achilles adoption: Nigh Invincible( weakness tendon)
Effects: Takes 6× damage of the attacks dealt to the tendon.]
[ Mythical Skill ]
Atomiser
As a result of atoms being in our body and bound together to make molecules which make up matter, atomiser reverses that process which leads to instant death ]
'These skills are way too op. Rizz Kid that skill if I was to reincarnate as a noble or something it would have been a must have. Dayum appearances can be deceiving indeed. I still have so many pages to cover but for now, these three have caught my attention.' Vincent thought to himself while going through the list. But he came across a skill that left him stunned. He rubbed his eyes again to see if he was hallucinating, but it was still there, right in front of his eyes.
[ Mythical Skill ]
[ Killer series:In exchange for decreased defence users can embody the striking strength of Saitama.]
"Caped baldy, his trademark skill is here. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
If you see something and you don't believe it you curse three times and if it's still there then it's the real deal. That's exactly what Vincent did.
'I really don't know if I can choose to continue, this skill is one in a billion. Yes,that's right the skill is not one in a million but in a billion. Damn, I really want to agree with my fanboy side but my logical side is telling me to look through there might be something better.,' with a rueful sigh of regret he continued the mundane task of looking for the right skill.
......…
Hours after scrolling through the mythical skills section he finally found a skill he thought would take him far in his next life.
Yes, even better than the Killer series skill.
