...

Aaron saw variety of skills.

Skills that were very very eye catching. If it were possible to do, he would simply choose the entire skills in this Skill Panel.

But then, another thing struck him.

His skill would depend on the amount of Stillforce energy that he had accumulated all his life.

But how on earth is that going to be possible? He had been a minor figure in Voidforce planet and even on earth, so how will he be able to accumulate Stillforce energy? He hadn't done much good there.

Plus, his karma point should be very low.

Why, because...

On earth he was accused and hated.

In Voidforce, he had watched as the planet be destroyed.

He had been marked by the all-consuming vortex as food.

He had been rejected by the radiation energy that was supposed to grant him power. Power that would help him explore outer space without the need of spaceship.

And then, he was visited by death.

Death was the penalty...

Aaron shook his head.

"How much Stillforce do I possess now?"

Aaron won't be surprised if he sees a whooping zero on his status window. He decided to check though...

STATUS WINDOW

Name: Aaron Saen

Level: 0

Class: Nil

Skill: In Process...

Lifeforce: (20)

Stillforce: (5)

Combat: (10)

Attack PWR: (10)

Stat Point : (0)

"I thought as much..."

Aaron was already feeling the frustration kick in at this moment.

How on earth will he chose a skill when his Stillforce energy is still very low.

With this, he would even survive one blow from his victim.

The skills above already have a large sum of Stillforce energy will he even get any skill?

But as if the system read his mind, he heard it's voice.

[Since the amount of Stillforce energy you've accumulated can not give you any skill, then borrow from your life-force.]

"My life-force? My life-force is also low. A cumulative number of 20... How's that even supposed to help?"

[Just one Life-force is akin to 10,000 Stillforce energy. You have 20 Life-force. Make a choice. ]

Aaron's eyes widened.

'If that's the case then, ten thousand Stillforce multiplied by twenty life-force is two hundred thousand Stillforce energy.'

Hmm... '

The skills appeared before him again.

• SKILLS

(this depends on the amount of Stillforce energy that has been accumulated in a person's life time.)

• Vanity [SSTier](800 Stillforce)

• Impact [STier](600 Stillforce)

• Void Walker [SSSTier](1000 Stillforce)

• Shadows [SSSTier](3000 Stillforce)

• Impervious Skills [SSSTier](100,000 Stillforce)

• Divine Oracle [SSTier](2000 Stillforce)

"Can I sacrifice my attack power for a reduction in the price for skill?"

[One Attack Power is akin to ten thousand Stillforce energy on the price of skills. But it can only be sacrificed once... Chose wisely!]

Excited, Aaron looked at the skills again. And tapped the first SSS Tier skill...

• Void Walker [SSSTier](1000 Stillforce)

{Ability to bend the void to your will, walk through it and control it depending on your degree of mastery. }

Void Walking is almost like peering into the level of space.

While Void and Space are quite different, they also have same qualities and similarities...

The void is a layer of existence...

While space is reality itself.

Aaron moved to the next skill.

• Shadows [SSSTier](3000 Stillforce)

{The ability to use the darkness as your best weapon... In both stealth and attack. Movement ability and hiding in it's embrace. Manifesting shadows and making them tangible, also depending on One's degree of mastery.}

Shadow skill description did not define the skill itself, jnstead going Into details of what one can use the ability to do.

Besides, skills can be chosen once...

There definitely is no two ways about it, it's just all about choosing the right one.

While Void walker had it's own uniqueness, Shadows was an even much potent skill.

First of all, the amount of Stillforce dedicated to shadows was higher than that of Void walker telling how unique Shadow skill is.

Without wasting much time, he looked at the third skill.

• Impervious Skills [SSSTier](100,000 Stillforce)

{Can Mimic Skills of any Tier to their best functions}

{It's Impervious nature allows it to not just mimic but, create skills. And Whichever skills it mimics, is forever lost from the original owner.}

Aaron's eyes suddenly widened.

'Yes...'

Aaron distributed 8 of his attack power on Impervious Skills and the initial price of hundred thousand fell to eighty thousand Stillforce.

He immediately sacrificed his life-force. Eighteen life-force was distributed to his Stillforce.

His Status window suddenly transformed.

STATUS WINDOW

Name: Aaron Saen

Level: 0

Class: Nil

Skill: In Process...

Lifeforce: (2)

Stillforce: (180,005)

Combat: (10)

Attack PWR: (2)

Stat Point : (0)

Sensing the new change, the system did not wait For him to pick the skill and his Status window transformed once again.

STATUS WINDOW

Level:- 0

Class:- Minority

Skill:- [Impervious](Snatch)

Lifeforce:- (2)

Stillforce:- (100,005)

After this was concluded, Aaron felt so invigorated.

Then, this also concluded his stay within the darkness.

[Be prepared for your journey into the dream curse... and your fate remains the same!]

Aaron saw a small gateway opening up within the embrace of nothingness and then, in a twinkle of an eye, Aaron vanished completely, leaving behind a volatile void of nothingness.

(Welcome to the Immemorial Citadel...)

As Aaron was landing upon the solid ground, he was hearing another voice speak into his mind, very different from the one that had introduced him to the dream curse.

And as the voice was concluding in it's statement, the landscape was taking shape, bringing to life, all things living and non-living...

Aaron took his time to observe the surrounding area. Plus, witnessing the coming alive of the world inside a dream curse was something unheard of for Aaron. It was simply so ethereal.

But, this moment was short lived as he heard another mechanical voice. This time, causing his body to chill.

(You are trapped within Sheba's Prison. You have five minutes to find the key out of it...)
