?A huge list of skills had appeared in front of Shaman.

'This is going to take a while, at least I have some time to pass while I wait for Elysia.'

Shaman then proceeds to go through the list of skills.

***

Elysia and Wolfy were currently in the beast forest making their way to the mountain.

'I have been at it for a few hours and killed every tier 2 I come across and I have only reached level 21.' Although killing over a few hundred tiers 2 beasts the EXP she is receiving is getting less and less.

'I need to hunt some tier 3 beast but I want to do it with Shaman as if we encounter a leader I would not know how to deal with it.' Elysia, despite having a lot of power, is ultimately weak when it comes to prolonged engagements, so she relied on Shaman to make up for this weakness.

'At least I have Wolfy but he is more of an assassin than a frontal assault which is not ideal.' Wolfy had also levelled up to 17 but since he is tier 4 he requires level 100 before reaching tier 5. But during those levels up he was able to up all his skills to level 4.

Elysia's fire arrows had also risen to level 4 and her firewall to level 2. She wanted to use her other skill, the fire coat but she had not had the opportunity to. She also tried creating her own skills but came to no success.

'I wish I could create another skill but I just cannot rack my brain on what could be useful for a bow user like me.' Throughout her day she was able to summon fire and move it around but she was unsure how she could apply it.

'Could I increase the speed of my arrows with a whirlwind?' Upon saying the word whirlwind another idea came to mind.

'Why don't I create a new type of arrow and when it hits something it bursts into a short tornado burning things around it.' Elysia was proud of herself as it sounded like a really cool idea to create fire tornado arrows.

Elysia went to work on trying to create a new type of fire arrow. She was able to create a whirlwind effect around the arrow but would not follow the arrow and would just disperse

'Hmm, how am I going to create a tornado?' Elysia reconsidered her idea as trying to do it in practice just did not seem possible.

"Hey system, will my idea work?" Elysia spoke to the system trying to see if her idea is plausible.

[I don't know]

Elysia's mouth twitched as all she could see was a brat writing those messages to her.

'I need to ask Shaman if her system is like this and not just some playful brat.' Elysia was also curious about Shaman's system as it seems like they have a personality and wanted to know if hers was similar.

'Oh well let's get back to practice.' Elysia got back to practising and after 50 shots or so some progress was made.

'Seems like changing it so it shoots out fire slashes is more plausible.' Elysia had tried a few other ideas but the most successful one was when she focused on a certain point on the arrow she could release it like an impact grenade and cause a small burst of fire.

'Now I just need to make it shoot a fire slash of some sorts.' Elysia had tried to condense fire slashes into a small ball until it was about to burst. She had used a more powerful arrow this time just to see if that was also a factor.

Elysia pulled back her bow making sure that she did not lose control over the small ball, Elysia let go of the string and the arrow shot fast and about 30 meters ahead. When the arrow landed a burst of fire exploded out causing cuts and burns in the surrounding.

A system notification rang out.

[Blade Burst Arrow]

[Shoot an arrow that will release blades upon impact, blades can be guided]

[Cost: -25mp can increase depending on the power of the shot and how many blades the user wants to use in the blast]

[limit: 6 blades]

"I DID IT!!" Elysia cried in a cheerful voice as she was able to create her first skill.

[Due to the user creating a new skill that no one has created without guidance 20 points have been added to INT]

'Wait nobody has ever used this skill, also my INT stat is over 100 now which is just perfect.' Elysia had focused on INT as she heavily relied on it to fight so she allocated most of her points towards it.

'I can't wait to tell Shaman that I created a unique skill, I'm sure she will just have to fall for me if she hears of my brilliance.' Although Shaman has already fallen, Elysia still did not give up on getting more reasons for Shaman to love her.

'Alright, let's see if I can create another skill.' Elysia went back to trying but then she noticed that what she was doing was way too complicated and thought to think simple.

'Why don't I just use pre-existing skills and not try to reinvent archery.' Elysia was a little annoyed with herself as she had put hours into thinking when she could have just done the basics. Elysia who had come to this realization, facepalmed.

'Why am I trying to invent something new, why don't I just get the system to recognize multi-shot or quick-fire like why am I trying to think outside the box' Elysia then proceeds to create a few basic skills for archery.

[Multi shot]

[Quick shot]

[Power shot] 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

After creating a few simple skills she had broadened her archery a little and could be more versatile.

"Alright Wolfy, ready to set out, I just got some skills and really want to try them out." Wolfy, who barely understood, jumped on her head. Wolfy had also grown from his mug size to a small pup and was now sprawled over Elysia's head.

"You can't always use our head especially if you get any bigger." Elysia realized his growth and knew that his favourite spot would soon be lost. Wolfy did not bat an eye and continued to lay there.

'jeez that lazy Wolf, if you were not special I would have left you home to stay as a pet.' Elysia shook her head a little as Wolfy was acting like a lazy teen.

'Anyway let's go try out these new skills' Elysia had finally set out to continue her journey to the mountain.

'I have no fucking clue what to choose' Shaman was stuck on choosing a skill to learn as there were just to many options. Although a lot of them were locked due to her not being a high enough tier to use them there were still thousands of tier 1 to 3 skills.

'I have a few ideas but I just can't choose.' Shaman was rubbing her head out of frustration.

'Although they have given me ideas on how to create some new wind and fire skills I need to choose something that is not learnable.' Shaman had also realized that the list included skills that could just be learnt.

'System can you add filters to this list.' Shaman wanted to make it easier for her to decide by filtering down the list.

[You already could]

'YOU BASTARD! why did you not tell me' Shaman was a little angry but more disappointed in herself for not trying.

[You never asked]

'GRRRR!' Shaman growled in anger at the system as its responses sounded as if someone what pretending to be an airhead and was playing dumb all the time.

'I wonder if Elysia also has a personality to her system, I should ask to see if she has a monotone sounding airhead of a system.' Shaman then proceeds to try to filter the list.

After thinking about it, it just filtered for her.

'Well, that saves some time than clicking. Maybe I can think of skill and it will come up.' Shaman then went to think of a skill she most likely would need that could not be taught or required a special class.

[Heal]

[Heal anyone or yourself from any injuries, can restore limbs if attached]

[can regrow limbs but cost more MP than user posses so the feature is locked]

[Cost: varies depending on the injury for example a small cut cost 5 MP but a deep stab wound would cost 75MP]

[Skill will improve overtime as well as the capacity to heal different sorts of wounds]

'I like this although the restrictions are quite heavy it does not have a level meaning it will get better as I level up.' Shaman then accepted this as her first skill.

'Alright now that I have that I want a defensive skill since I really lack in that department.' Shaman then thought of a ridiculous skill.

[Iron skin]

[Your body is like iron when activated any attacks will be bounced off]

[Cost: -40 MP a second]

'Jeez, a steep price but I'm more surprised that a skill like this exists and I am able to use it but I am going to assume it correlates to my level so anyone on the same tier won't be able to hurt me but If I fought another tier 4 they would still cut me like butter.' Shaman's assumption was correct.

'Alright, I guess we'll take it' Shaman confirmed and she had received the skill.

Meanwhile, Elysia was causing a small forest fire.
