Williams P.O.V.
"my name is Elijah, and I am the lord deaths humble servant, as you have passed this simple test you will be bestowed with four gifts from the lord of death the first gift you will receive is a system customized for your optimal growth, the second, third, and fourth will all be the skills from the lord of deaths personal skill repository". 'so, this is just like a typical reincarnation story but this time I am a type of villain and I get a head start of three top notch skills. "then let's go Mr. Elijah and see what awaits me in this repository'" I said.
Just after I finished speaking I again felt the same nauseating feeling from before and at that moment I knew I had to go through that teleportation experience again, and then I felt it the sucking of me into a narrow path and being thrown out of it again, 'I will never get used to it I thought after teleporting, I was still getting my mindset together when suddenly I heard Elijah's voice announcing that we have arrived in the skill repository "welcome you mortal to the lord of death personal skill repository that he got from countless sieges, in this repository are all of lords skills that he gathered from eons, now be mind full that you can only choose three from these vast collection so be very careful of your choices" Elijah said. I could not stop myself from ogling at this huge library of skills this room was at least 4 to 5 football fields long and the towering shelfs which were over ten feet tall were filled to the brim with endless book or skill as Mr. Elijah liked to call them. "so umm... how am I supposed to go throw all these books or skills in a short amount of time it may take months or even years for me alone to go through all these skill" I said to Mr. Elijah as I felt a headache coming. "ah, my apologies mortal I forgot to tell you some information, would you say system it doesn't matter if you say it in your head or out loud" he replied, as I heard Mr. Elijah, I spoke 'system' and suddenly a blue screen appeared before my eyes it displayed different things like strength, my name other thing like those screens shown in the rpg games back on earth.
Name: William
Class: none
Title: Reaper's Herald
Level: 1
Strength: 11(9) Agility: 10(9)
Charm: 9(9) Mana: 25(0)
Health: 10(7) Stamina: 10(9)
Skills: None
Title effect (Reaper's Herald):
"when fighting beings of higher-level increases attack and reaction speed by 30%.
When fighting beings that oppose death all stats +6."
So, this were my stats while the average for a normal human being were 9 except for health which was 7 and the other being mana which was zero but I guess that's to be expected as human did not have any contact with mana on earth and after reviewing my stats I was immensely to Arthur for dragging my ass to gym everyday but just as these thought surfaced my scars once again refreshed about how Arthur was beaten cruelly. I vow Arthur to never forget that bastard and when I come back I will kill that piece of shit.
"This is really helpful Mr. Elijah but how am I supposed to completely read this library in short time" I asked annoyed that he ignored my question but what could I do these beings are literally at a divine position. To my question Elijah replied that " oh, that you can just simply imagine the skill you want and that will appear in your hand" hm its that simple, but what if- "and don't worry I can hardly imagine a situation in which you could think of a skill not present in the lord collection" Mr. Elijah added before I could even think about it. "if that's all than I will take my leave mortal and don't worry you will be automatically reincarnated after choosing your skills" Mr. Elijah said before suddenly vanishing leaving me all alone in this repository. 'okay now according to death I will be reincarnating in a planet three times the size of earth with many magical creations and I have to defeat the hero in that world' I thought so I just have to choose skill that will help me become the hero's level in just a dozen and a half years.
So, for my first I should choose something that will break my limits or at least make my limit cap very high and just as I finished these thoughts a skill book appeared before me,
INFINITY SURGE: (passive skill)
A skill that increases the talent of a person to the strongest being in the universe but if the users achieves that limit is dependent on the user himself.
This looked like a pretty good skill and exactly what I needed, without thinking about it more I chose this skill as his first after selecting it William saw the book become a streak of light and suddenly it entered his mind.
Now, for my second skill I think something that will help me recover quickly my stamina, and some major or minor injuries that I will undoubtedly get and just as that thought passed my head another skill book appeared in front of me,
DARK VITALITY:(passive skills)
Uses the mana in the surrounding to heal the host body (the richer the surrounding mana the faster and stronger the healing process is.)
This was also good but the mana part was a little to stingy but whatever. It's a match for me this means that I can recover stamina even while fighting.
Now for the third and final one I should choose something that tells the basic truth of anything I see from a book to a scenario something that tells me the most basic of whatever I see and like before just as I finished my thoughts a book flashed in front of me,
PRIMORDIAL GAZE:(passive skill)
Function one: when the host see something everything from the most basic of details to the most complex one will be etched in your brain and deeply analyzed and studied.
Function two: locked
I gazed at the skill and my heart could not contain it ecstasy making me jump up and down. Even though it was a shame its other function was locked but the first function was so good that the happiness swept over the disappointment and just as I selected this skill just like Elijah said I was beginning to feel nauseated when suddenly a strange pain over took me and I fell unconscious.
(meanwhile in the throne room):
"Elijah" said the lord of the death in a strange deep voice," yes, my lord" replied the same handsome man that was speaking to William in an utterly arrogant tone but now that arrogancy had seemingly disappeared. "the last skill that the mortal got was not in my repository" death said, "hm! Are you saying that the last skill the mortal got was from the eternal archives and not from your collection" replied Elijah in a surprised voice, "that's precisely what I am saying" again responded the lord of the death. 'hmm…. This will be interesting' thought Elijah looking at the roof of the throne room.
