From Wanderer To World Conqueror

"I have a lot of thing to do at level 10?"

"Yes, you reached level 10, therefore you can choose your first special skill. Your case is a bit special since you can choose your skill unlike others, they just gain a random skill for every 10 levels. Soon, I will upgrade myself to level 2 and you will get acces to my new functions at that time. Let's choose your first special skill for now. I will open a window where you will see countless special skills. You just need to choose a good one then the technique will learn itself and you never forget it after that."

The system opened the window after his explanation about the skills.

[Level 10 special skills:]

[Shadowstep]

[Earth shattering palm]

[Joker]

[Pandora's box]

...

Then Attorias decided to check all of them. There was indeed countless skills, however he can only choose one. Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a really powerful looking skill.

[Talent Thief]

Swiftly, he checked out the skill description.

[Talent Thief]: Learn the skill and you can increase your talent during fights.

Upgradeable skill:

Level 1: Upgrade your talent with fighting

Level 2: Steal skills during fights.

Level 3: Steal ultimate skills during fights

Level 4(max): Steal bloodlines using this skill.

Level 4.1: Create your own bloodlines.]

Indeed, it was a great skill, Attorias decided to learn this skill as his first special skill. He can even upgrade his own bloodline through this skill. Sadly, the truth was painful. This skill is very hard. You need to beat 10 enemy if you want to reach level 2. 100 opponents for level 3. As for level 4 and 4.1? You can't get to this level unless you decide to participate in a war. Of course, Attorias started to hesitate because of the crazy requirements, but luckily the system helped him out.

"You don't have to worry. The first 3 levels is not hard at all. Haven't you just beaten up 40 level 10 merchants in one go? As for level 4 and 4.1, I guarante you that there will be wars in a year or two. This is a world where wars often happens due to the amount of kingdoms and empires. What if there are no wars? You can just cause one."

The system didn't lie at all. He instantly convinced Attorias with his speech. Thus, decided to choose this skill. A white light descended from the sky and landed on Attorias. He absorbed all of the light and images appeared within his head. It was the newly learned Talent Thief skill. The system message cut in.

[Congratulations! You learned a new special skill]

"Ahh, finally I can start the system update."

Soon, dawn appeared and Ramiris woke up. She saw Attorias who sat beside her and meditated. She also saw that her strength reached the 10th level and turned towards Attorias who silently meditated.

"Heey Attorias are you there??."

"Ohh Ramiris you woke up. I still have to meditate. I'ts really important. Don't disturb me with useless things."

"Useless things my a.s.s. You have to attend the newcomers power measurement exam with me. We are both newcomers therefore, we can't be absent. The exam will be held in a few hours."

"Hmm a few hours? Hey system. How long it will take to update yourself?" Attorias asked the system in his head through mental message.

"Max 1 hour and you will need another hour to stabilize your body."

"Stabilize myself? You won't kill me or something right?"

"I will not kill you of course, but you will pass out during the update. The system update will cancel itself if someone lays a finger on your body during that time. You will feel dizzy after the system update but that's normal."

"Okay, then Ramiris. I'll warn you beforehand. I will pass out soon. Don't lay a finger on my body during that time otherwise I have to restart from the beginning."

"You don't have to worry about that. I also want to meditate and stabilize myself on the new level."

"Good then I will begin now."

Attorias started his meditating session and instantly passed out. His body started to emanate white light particles. He looked like a hibernated god in this state. Soon, 1 hour passed.

[System update start: 1%, 2%, 3%, ...]

Attorias woke up after a few minutes, but something was wrong. Indeed, he felt dizzy, but it was just too dizzy. He lost his balance whenever he tried to walk. Suddenly, the system update continued:

[System synchronization with the main host:

1%, 5%, 13%, ...System update finished.

New system functions:

-Status points

-Achievements

-New items in the system shop]

Attorias regained his consciousness. He didn't feel dizzy anymore.

"Now it's time for me to check the fruits of this system update. Let's start with the first one. The status points. How do I use these?"

"You get 2 status points for every level. You are already level 10. You can distribute 20 status points between your statuses. Here are your statuses:

spirit power: 100

charisma: 100

mental power: 100

Spirit power is your spirit power. Charisma is all about presence, looks and intelligence. Your charisma is already too high when it comes to seducing woman's. As for mental power, There are attacks and skills where the main target is your mind. Like hypnosis. You can defend against these skills if you increase your mental power.

Your next question is probably about the achievements. You can get good rewards if you complete achievements, however there are only hard achievements. You can even gain levels if you complete them. As for the last new function. I'm sure you know the meaning of new items. You can check the new items and achievements later."

Attorias understood everything. Now it was time to go to the newcomers power measurement exam with Ramiris. He sat cross legged for a few minutes then Ramiris opened her eyes.

"Shall we go Attorias?"

"Let's take the first place"

Attorias and Ramiris left the quarters after this sentence.
