Allen was atop one of the forts he got built in the Paradise of Primordial Beasts, together with Cecile and Sophie. Everyone else, including Abigayle, was picking up Spirit Stones outside.

"Alright then, time to work on Generation again."

Allen checked his Grimoire and saw that he only needed 1000000 Skill Experience to Level Up Generation.

He had 2 Spiritual Power Regeneration Rings and 2 Spiritual Power Regeneration Bracelets equipped, giving him 22% regeneration. It would not take him much longer to Level Up.

(Heheheh, I'll be at Level 8 soon! Oh! It's hereee!! Yayyyyy!!)

The Grimoire's pages turned rapidly as he quickly used all the Spirit Stones he obtained.

'Generation Skill has gained 10000000000/10000000000 Skill Experience Points. Generation has reached Skill Level 8. Angel B summon can be Generated now.'

"I did it, I did it!!"

Generation had been stuck at Level 7 for many days, but now it had reached Level 8.

He wanted to summon the Angel B to examine it right away.

*Bump*

There was a new log, so the Grimoire's cover appeared in front of Allen.

'You defeated 1 Ghost.You obtained 1000000000 Faith Points. You obtained 100000000 Spiritual Power. You obtained 100000000 Divine Power. You obtained 10 Talent Change Points. You reached Level 250. Strength +300, Mana +480, Attack +168, Endurance +168, Agility +312, Intelligence +480, Luck +312. Catalog has been unsealed.'

"Woah?! Oh, Merle must have killed a ghost! And I just got a new Skill!!"

Thanks to Merle's advances in the Earth Labyrinth, Allen had obtained a new Skill.

It had been a while since Allen obtained a new Skill.

"Catalog? Is that like some list?"

Cecile also started looking at the Grimoire. A catalog was also what Allen had promised the birdmen. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝓮𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢

(Let's see what else I can learn.)

Once the log was over, Allen checked his stats inside the Grimoire.

Allen wanted to test each Skill he obtained.

(There's a lot of interesting stuff there. And now it says NaN instead of a number for Experience, so I've already gotten over the limit. Anyway, let's start with Catalog.)

He had been killing Demon Generals, Demon Great Generals, and Demigod Rank ghosts for over a year, increasing his Level.

The Experience he required to increase his Level was becoming a number with uncountable zeroes, but when he reached Level 250 it simply showed NaN.

Now he was worried whether he would keep gaining Levels when Merle's group defeated Demigod Rank ghosts.

Allen had become able to Generate an Angel B summon, but the new Skill made him more curious.

Catalog sounded less impressive than his other Skills like Kingship and Fast Summon.

It was probably not meant to be used in battle, but was more of a supporting Skill like Sharing.

(I was really expecting something cool for the sealed Skill though…)

That Skill had appeared when Summoner reached Skill Level 9.

It remained sealed for a long time, so Allen had hoped it would be a special move that would let him kill the Demon King.

Receiving a supporting Skill at such a high Level left him confused though.

He had risked his life to defeat Demon Kings before, making his family flash in his mind.

He had desperately fought Demigod Rank ghosts and a Sacred Spirit Beast.

Even now his friends were continuing to fight ghosts in the Earth Labyrinth.

But being disappointed would not get him anywhere, so the least he could do was check what that Skill could do.

It had no Skill Level, so it likely was one of those Skills that did not require Mana or Spiritual Power, and would not improve with time.

"Catalog."

He tried activating it, but nothing happened.

He had not lost any Mana though, but as nothing was happening he decided to check if the Grimoire had a new log.

'Catalog can't be used on the summoner.'

It was not a Skill the summoner could use.

"I see, so it's like Strengthening or Awakening that only summons can use. So I need a summon to use it."

"What's wrong?"

"Oh it's just that I need a summon to see what Catalog can do. Let's switch out one to test it. Ellie, come out."

He changed one of his summon slots and summoned a Wraith B which had the right size to accept orders easily.

He had Wraith A summons in the Earth Labyrinth, so he could not afford to disturb them for a test, so he used the smallest one that made sense.

'Did you call for me, Master Allen?'

The Wraith B summon that looked like a young girl in her early teens wearing western clothes appeared.

"Yeah, I did. I got a new Skill so I need a bit of help. I've activated Catalog so could you try using it?"

'Yes!! Catalog!!'

The Wraith B summon used Catalog.

"Oh!"

"What's that!! Something just appeared!!"

Cecile would not stop commenting on everything that happened.

Something like a three dimensional grid appeared in front of the Wraith B sumon.

Its sides were around 3 meters in size, with really small cells like graphing paper.

"I see, so it's like a catalog that only summons can use. It's really fine too, maybe like a 100 x 100 grid with 10000 cells."

Using his overwhelming intelligence, Allen quickly counted the small cells that had 3 centimeter long sides.

"Ellie, try touching it."

(This looks just like that common feature I always saw in my previous life.)

He had seen something similar in the past, though it was not called a catalog in his previous life.

'Yes.'

The Wraith B summon tried touching the grid, and it moved back slightly.

"Though hmm, the cells are really small so it's easy to see what they have at a glance, but it's harder to put stuff inside. Alright, try putting this Heaven's Blessing into a cell."

Allen gave the Wraith B summon a Heaven's Blessing.

'Like this? Oh, ohh!! The cell became bigger!!'

When the summon tried pushing the Heaven's Blessing that looked like a baseball with a diameter more than 10 centimeters long, the cell expanded to let the item in.

Soon after the item was firmly held by the cell.

After the summon let go of it, the grid shrunk again to 3 centimeters long and wide.

The Heaven's Blessing inside also seemed to shrink.

When the summon tried taking it out, the item grew to its original size again.

The Heaven's Blessing was like a juicy peach, easy to bruise, but when it came out of the cell it was untouched. It had only shrunk and grown without affecting it physically.

"So this is literally an inventory. Thank you very much."

"What do you mean?" free webnov el.com

"It's like a storage cabinet for items and equipment that exists in a separate dimension. This means that all summons have their own inventory now."

Games in his previous life often had an inventory window separate from the main screen, where items could be stored or to directly swap out equipment.

It was a really useful feature, and it seemed like the divine realm's staff (especially Lupto) had investigated Allen's memories to create it.

"I don't know how you expect me to understand half of what you said. At least try to explain it in a way that makes sense."

Allen thought he had simplified it as much as was possible, but it made little sense to Cecile who did not have any of his memories.
