Chapter 6 Influence

Gained 1 State

Patito walks over to the dead goblin. I watch as the body disappears and all that's left is a stamina potion.

Patito: Hey Alex how did I use hand smash when I didn’t have the skill for it.

Alex: well the system said I was considered armor when equipped and usually when equipment has skills their owners can use the skills so I thought maybe you could use hand smash since you equipped me.

Patito: I wish I knew that in the beginning.

Alex: Yeah I should’ve asked the system if I could do that but it slipped my mind.

Alex: but more importantly why were you being pushed back, even if the goblin had higher agility than you, you should’ve been able to destroy the club.

Patito: Well remember that skill Magic Aptitude

Alex: Yeah why?

Patito: Because I have another skill like it called Poor combat it decreases my combat abilities 25%.

Alex: That’s quite a serious debuff

Patito: yeah it is

Alex: can’t you, you know to delete the skill

Patito: I already tried but because it's a race skill it can’t be deleted.

Patito: “There was another reason” he said a bit scared

Alex: That would be

Patito: When I was fighting the goblin it felt like it was real like it's actually gonna kill me

Alex: But didn’t you already fight with a goblin?

Patito: Yeah, but that was with a weapon a spear to be exact so it only took a quick thrust to kill it.

Alex: …………

Patito: ………….

Patito: Anyway enough with the somber atmosphere how was it like being a gauntlet

Alex: “it was pretty cool being a gauntlet I could see everything so I could always warn you of a surprise attack,” I said with an excited smile on my face forgetting about the somber atmosphere from before

Patito: You’re right that is pretty cool

Alex: We’re done here let's start the next part of the tutorial

Patito: You’re right

Alex & Patito : System We’re ready

Are you sure

Y/N

Alex & Patito: Yes

To begin the next phase pick up one of the weapons lying on the ground.

Patito walks over to the spear he used to kill the first goblin he fought

Patito: “This should work,” he says while picking up the spear

You have gained the skill Influence

Alex: I gained what

Once you have chosen your weapon Excel would have gained the skill influence

Influence is a skill that costs 20 mana to use and has a 1 min cooldown

It adds a percentage added to your weapon for 30 seconds.

Alex: Show me Skill influence

Influence Lv 1 Beginner

Adds a 5% bonus of strength, intelligence, or defense in whatever excel is currently touching.

Alex: System Skills can have levels too? Also, what do you mean by beginner.

Skills can have levels too only skills such as mana sense or walking wouldn't have a ranking or level because they serve only one purpose. Beginner is the first ranking out of 4 rankings, the rankings are Beginner, Intermediate, Expert, and Master.

To test out the new skill Influence Say Influence and say what you made you want intelligence, defense, or strength.

Patito: Influence, Strength

The wooden Spear changed in front of my eyes the shaft became a dark gray and the wooden blade had a dark blue light reflected in it.

Alex: That's why we don’t take drugs kids

Patito: Alex really

Alex: What I couldn't resist.
