Chapter 304: Skill Points and Skill Shop!
—–
(Ervas and Veronica)
Ding!
[Two [Gods] from this world have acted over the [Samsara System] Interface]
[Assimilating Otherworldly Knowledge…]
[Knowledge assimilated]
[Repurposing [Skill Points]
[Generating new Interface…]
Ding!
[Due to the nature of [Skill Points] and the [Samsara System] Interface, the use of [Skill Points] have been adjusted accordingly]
[The [Skill Shop] System Function has been created]
“It says something about… Gods of this World intervening?!” asked Veronica.
“And we got a Skill Shop Function,” said Ervas.
“Oh! You got more than I thought! And I am fairly sure that the ones that intervened must have been this world’s Vedon and Lamus. I would bet that they already know about you two and most likely got this energy already from me the moment I was assimilated by this World’s System,” said Kireina.
“That… Might be,” said Ervas.
“But still, it’s pretty confusing,” said Veronica.
“Well, let me explain things out for you. In my World, Skill Points are a special type of power within your soul that lets you acquire new powers or abilities by using them to buy Classes. In Genesis, the Job system as you know it does not exist, and we got Classes and Subclasses instead, which we use those Skill Points for. I would guess that the Samsara System wouldn’t simply want to rewrite itself just for Skill Points, so it is giving them a new purpose through the Skill Shop, though I am sure that they might have something else, maybe you could enhance Skills or level them up immediately with them, although those are just my guesses and assumptions,” said Kireina.
“That’s… amazing! So we got a new powerup… Damn it, and my Soul Clone in Kosmos doesn’t get to have it…” said Veronica.
“Perhaps you will be able to give it to her soon enough, whenever you keep transferring energy between both worlds,” said Kireina.
“So now we can buy Skills? As if we didn’t have a ton of them already…” said Ervas.
“True, I wish there could be a way for us to merge them,” said Veronica.
Ding!
[The [Skill Fusion] System Interface has been integrated]
“And… we would like a ton of free Skill Points as well!” said Veronica.
“Hm, maybe like a million,” said Ervas.
[…]
“Damn it! I guess that’s how far those Gods can go, huh?” said Veronica.
“Indeed…” said Ervas.
“Damn it, I also want that Skill Shop though, would be pretty nice… But I guess because I do not have the cool Samsara System, I am locked on this… Huh…” said Kireina.
The moment Ervas and Veronica devoured Kireina’s Soul Fragments, they acquired several new functions through the System, most likely due to Kireina’s soul being covered and made with these abnormal and otherworldly energy called ‘Skill Points’.
However, aside from that, they acquired a large boost in stats and even a new type of Stat out of nowhere, named Soul Stat, which seemed to be related to their own Souls and its total strength.
Araba glanced in surprise as the pair acquired new powers that he could not even recognize, making him rather baffled.
“(Just what’s going on in here now?!)” he wondered, glaring in silence as explanations finally came one after another.
“How weird, although you got a lot of power, I had imagined that you would get some Skill out of me… Well, you can now get some Skills through the Skill Shop anyways,” said Kireina.
“So how do all those functions workaround?” asked Kireina, as Ervas and Veronica began to Appraise them.
[Skill Points]
The Materialization of the power of one’s soul, brought from another world.
This power can be used to acquire new types of abilities through the [Skill Shop].
Skill Points can be acquired each time you level up, the amount of Skill Points earned is dependent on your total Rank, meaning, if you are Rank 1, you get 1 Skill Point per level, if you are Rank 10, you get 10 Skill Points per level.
You can only get Skill Points from Rank Level Ups, Job Level Ups do not count.
You can also acquire Skill Points by devouring things with Divinity and assimilating their power into Skill Points, which is done automatically by the System.
[Skill Shop]
A Special System Function specifically made for the use of Skill Points, a foreign power brought from another world.
Several Skills can be brought in here in exchange for Skill Points, and more available Skills can appear as the user power increases.
[Skill Fusion]
A Special System Function specifically made by the request of the Samsara System users by the [Gods of Kritias].
This Function gives the simple ability to fuse Skills.
For the Skills to successfully fuse, they need to be compatible with each other to an extent, meaning that you cannot fuse Technique Skills and Stat Boosting Skills together, and so on.
Skill Fusion costs a certain amount of Skill Points, which could increase if the Skills fused are strong.
[Soul Stats]
A new type of Stat brought from the energy of another world, which created changes within the soul of the user.
Soul Stats do not represent your Soul’s total power but represent the added power that you might begin to acquire from this point onwards through the devouring of Souls, Soul Energy, or the Cultivation of energies and transmutation of them into Soul Energy, amongst many other techniques and ways to strengthen one’s soul.
Ervas and Veronica explained each thing to Kireina, as she nodded on comprehension.
“I see, I see… So your Samsara System lets you use Skill Points, while I am stuck into not being able to, even though you go them from me! Well, that’s that I guess…” sighed Kireina.
“Well, for now, you could check out what you can get from your Skill Shops, I am rather curious,” said Kireina.
Ervas and Veronica nodded, as both of them glanced at their separate windows, the available Skills that they could buy were different from each other.
(Ervas)

[Skill Shop]
<Available Skills>
[Chaos Attribute Magic: Level 1] [Cost: 10.000 Skill Points]
[Mechanical Creation: Level 1] [Cost: 20.000 Skill Points]
[Mechanical Transformation: Level 1] [Cost: 50.000 Skill Points]
[Nanobots Creation and Manipulation: Level 1] [Cost: 100.000 Skill Points]
[…]
Ervas and Veronica were immediately greeted with a list of amazing Skills, some of them were rather normal-sounding, but some awesome ones seemed that could bring game-changing effects on their lives.
However, those that were outstanding cost more Skill Points than what they had, making them feel a bit down.
“Divine… Mana?! I want this… I feel like this System is teasing us…” said Ervas.
“Aw come on, I can even create Nanobots if I get 100.000 Skill Points?! I could be like a Nanomancer! No way!” said Veronica in excitement, but suddenly feeling down in how hard it would be to even gather such an amount of Skill Points.
“Fufu, it is quite a pain, I know how you feel! Well, in my world, I was able to get Skill Points daily by being worshiped by my followers! Can you do the same thing? I think you two had already become something close to Demigods, so maybe you should try to ask your people to worship you,” said Kireina.
“Well… About that…” said Ervas.
“I believe they are worshiping us all the time, even before this. Actually, I am feeling like something little is flourishing in my soul right about… now!” said Veronica.
(Veronica)
[You gained +1 Skill Points]
“Oh! I got one!” said Veronica.
“I also got one,” said Ervas.
“Oh?! Maybe I should not have even asked, my lords~” laughed Kireina.
“You don’t have to call us ‘My lords’, you know?” asked Ervas.
“Y-Yeah…” said Veronica.
“Well, I like to do that, everyone kind of does it after all. I feel like I am quite the good subordinate if I call you by ‘my lords’ it is a nice roleplay I like to do,” said Kireina.
Ervas and Veronica sighed as even Kireina would be calling them ‘my lords’ from now on, just like Lilith and most of the people and friends they had.
After Ervas and Veronica went into a bit more detail about the Skill Shop, Kireina was left rather surprised, as Ervas had gotten the Void Attribute Magic Skill on his Skill Shop and Veronica got the Chaos Attribute Magic Skill on her own, meaning that the power she gave to them through her soul fragments must have converted into the Skills in the Skill Shop to an extent, and perhaps by adding their knowledge and affinities, these new Skills were generated.
“You two shouldn’t think about saving them for now, just send them into the Void and Chaos Magic, they’re very strong types of magic that could help you even more, although at Level 1 they won’t do much. I am sure that you could slowly build them and create your own Spells,” said Kireina.
“Isn’t Void Attribute Magic like a… advanced type of Spatial Magic?” asked Ervas.
“It’s actually a middle point in between Spatial Magic and Chaos Magic,” said Kireina.
“Ooh… Well, time to get them,” said Ervas.
“Chaos Magic is pretty crazy… But I can’t simply fear a Skill, I gotta take it and make it my own power,” said Veronica.
“Well said!” said Kireina.
(Ervas)
