Sorry guys, I couldn't write anything this day because it was first day in uni. I had to meet with many friends, and wasted so much time talking with them that I couldn't write. Anyways, I had fun today and I'll start writing the chapter now. So expect the chapter to be uploaded in 2 / 3 hours.

And since I can't post a chapter without it being 500 words long, so I'll just copy past a part of another chapter and that's it. Just skip it.

********

Shesmu already thought long and hard about what to name this skill, but he couldn’t find any suitable name so he just made it so that the name is basically a description of the skill.

“Congratulation for creating the original passive skill: Rotational Three Tiered Passive Cultivation Method!”

“Due to being the first in the world to create an original skill, you are rewarded with 5 free stat points, and an additional 10 slot bag.”

“Due to creating a legendary rank original skill, you are rewarded with 20 free stat points, and a bone refining pill.”

Of these 1500 Ki half is stored while the other half is used to increase your foundation and cultivation level.

Effect Stage 1 Level 2

+10 all stats.

Looking at the series of message he received, Shesmu was overwhelmed. He knew that creating an original skill resulted in receiving rewards, but he didn’t know that being the first to create an original rewarded you too, so he was a bit surprised on that aspect.

Eager to spend his newly acquired free stat points, Shesmu opened his status page.

Vitality 33

Skills

Sword Mastery Beginner level 1 (Proficiency: 0%).

From his experience, Shesmu knew that putting your stats into agility was the best strategy for early game, as monsters that had ridiculous defense stats only appeared later on in the game. He also knows that agility was an essential stat, because without sufficient agility some skill animation cancels would be clunky or sometimes impossible. Moreover, to the extent of his knowledge, no weapon below level 10 had stat requirements above 30 strength and 25 vitality. Thus, Shesmu could safely dump every free stat points on agility.

His stats after the upgrade looked like this.

Talent

Quick Slash: Increase attack speed by 20%.

After his agility stat reached 50, Shesmu unlocked the talent Quick Slash. Talents were very helpful as they not only stacked on top of each other, they were also percentages. Any decent gamer would understand that percentages were in most cases better than flat stats, as the latter might have its luster reduced through time, but the former would always shine ever so brightly, scaling with the strength of its user.

After drolling at his stats for a while, Shesmu then opened his inventory to check his rewards. The first thing he noticed was the 1 gold and 20 coppers he had stored up. While other players would be racking their brain on how to get money to buy pieces of equipment, since 20 coppers was worth only few health and mana potions, he wouldn’t have to worry at all.

Shesmu then took a glance at the level 10 gold box with an interrogation mark in it, but didn’t touch it for the moment. He then used the 10 inventory slot bag to add 10 slot to his inventory. Finally, his eyes landed on the bone refining pill.

Bone Refining Pill

Type Alchemical Pill

Rank Epic

Description:

+50 to Strength, Vitality, and Agility.

Can only be used 3 time per character.

Shesmu was surprised for a moment. In his past life, he was only able to procure a bone refining pill when he was already a tier 3 player. At that time, the bonus was +100 to the aforementioned three stats, but could only be used twice. Shesmu concluded that the effect of the pill was relative to the level or tier of a player, so he didn’t mind the difference. He didn’t expect to be able to get 100 stat lead over everyone just from taking this pill, as he would definitely become an existence akin to a god towards players if he did so.

After contemplating for a minute, Shesmu finally swallowed the pill.

“Aghhhh!”

Shesmu forgot about the side effect of taking the bone refining pill. The pill wasn’t named bone refining for no reason, its effect was to grind bones and through that process inject nutrient directly in them, then repair the bones. This process happened through his whole body grinding all 256 bones to dust and repairing them for 10 minutes straight. Shesmu kept screaming and bitting his lips as cold sweat covered his back, forhead, and limbs. From the moment he reincarnated, Shesmu never felt this much pain. He had the urge to curse his lungs out, but kept it from taking over his reason.

After the 10 minutes was over, Shesmu got up with ragged breath and checked his status to see if this agonizing pain was worth it.
