Waking up, Gregory looked out the window. It was still dark, he had slept about five hours only, and yet he felt as if he were fully rested. Probably in part due to the Gamer's Gift skill, which gave his body the capacity of a game character's. After all, game characters could be played constantly, and without his mind being affected by status effects, it was very possible that he would not need sleep. However, he ignore that right now, seeing as how he wondered only about what he could do now that he had these abilities. One thing he knew for certain though, the training he did would need to consist of gaining magical abilities, as those would be where he could really shine. He active skills would gain huge benefits from his intelligence, as long as there was no condition to otherwise increase the strength based upon intelligence. The same went for his wisdom, but for passive skills, buffing them unless it stated that it gave benefits based on wisdom otherwise. Gregory also discovered that this meant the 10X from his intermediate skills was actually at a startling 105X their original power. This meant that even low level spells would seem like some of the most powerful or deadly without even using a noticeable level of mana. Realizing this gave him no status increases like he had expected, but knew it was because of him already having the high level of wisdom. It seems the class legendary great sage was not doing as much as it said it would. Of course, it could mean that it only gives wisdom for discovering something nobody else knows. It just mentioned actions in the description. Actions could be anything. Just as he thought that, the window came up notifying him of a 10 point wisdom gain.

For discovering a secret that was previously undiscovered, your wise actions have been granted a bonus 10 points in WIS.

Dismissing the box, another box popped up afterward to notify him of another change.

Skill attained for gaining 200 total WISSKILLMYSTIC SIGHTPASSIVEThis skill allows the ability to see the ebb and flow of magic around the user. This allows the duplication and replication of spells due to the ability to see the channeling method of the mana used. While this can be used to duplicate all spells, without the capacity to perform the spells, they will be unusable until the conditions of use are met.LEVEL = MAXCOST = N/A

Gregory realized that this system was amazing. It not only assisted him, but pushed him along a path toward greater skill and power. He then moved to the bathroom to perform his daily routine; taking a shower, brushing his teeth, up-keeping the manicured and pedicured look he had. Heading to his room, he grabbed the dojo uniform he had, loose black pants to allow free movement, white socks underneath black shoes that mostly had just a sole and very little in terms of protection on the top. There was also a tight white shirt, over which was worn the black dojo jacket, which he had left completely unbuttoned. He looked in the mirror, his hair the stark contrast that nobody expected a person of his age to have. His skin was Caucasian, but not so pale as his father's side of the family had their skin. His hair though was a mixture of his father's and mother's. His father had totally white hair, and his mother totally black. Seeing as how his hair was almost entirely white, it would seem that his father's genes were more noticeable in regards to his hair. It was also messy as usual, five inches long and spiking off in every direction. He had heard people say that it looked likes Link's from the Legend of Zelda series of games, but white with black streaks instead of blonde. To say that was untrue would be telling a lie, but Gregory didn't mind at all. It was just a factor of his appearance that brought him the attention of many girls in his class.

As he headed out, he checked the time and saw that it was still only 4 in the morning. Wait, did I forget to access my inventory? I am sure I have one, it is the staple of every gamer to have an inventory that can be used to store the contents they desire. Of course, some games have an inventory based upon the character's strength, many of them allow the character to use it as their bank. He thought the word Inventory immediately after this small mental rant and there before him appeared an inventory with which he could hold anything he so desired. He tested this with a bottle of water, before dumping all of them in. He found that the items stacked, since there were the same type of item, but there was another stack created for a different brand. Seems I should keep things limited to one brand unless I want an unmanageable inventory. One of them I had was impossible to manage, forced me to sell every item I had except for those equipped. Worst single idea of my life, never let this thing become so cluttered. He quickly removed all the water bottles except 5 and then made himself a sandwich before writing a note to let his mother know that he would be out for the day until late. One thing Greg did do though, was to place his phone and wallet into his inventory, that way he had nothing on him to get in the way of training.

As he headed into the nearby forest, he kept an eye out for any creatures he may be able to find. Considering this was basically a game for Gregory now, he knew it was possible for monsters or creatures to drop items. As he walked, he found a Northern Copperhead, a poisonous snake found in the area. He moved quickly, apprehending the snake and crushing its head between his fingers. It seemed that 15 AGI was more than the average person, by enough that he could catch an oncoming snake without too much difficulty. Upon killing the creature, a window popped up asking if he would like to preserve the dead body or degrade it for items. He thought: items of course, why wouldn't I want the items? At that, the body began dissolving, and three items appeared before him. The first was a book, the second a katana, and the third a potion with a reddish green swirl inside. He used his reveal ability on the three items, revealing them to be a skill book for a poison cloud, a sword with an innate poisoning ability which caused pain and tissue damage in the hit area, and the third a vial of concentrated poison which would cause instantaneous fainting status along with eventual death. Incredible, to think I would come out with such an incredible looting with just one kill. Must be due to the luck stat, I think it is probably my most useful.

As he finished his walk to the clearing he knew of, he learned the skill from the book he had gotten.

SKILLCOPPERHEAD'S RESPITEACTIVEThis skill allows the user to create a poison mist that causes pain and difficulty breathing if inhaled, and pain along with difficulty seeing if got in the eyes. Open wounds are instantly infected and cause pain along with mild tissue damage. While lethality can be only slightly affected, higher intelligence will give much faster effects with much smaller doses. Creates a cloud in size depending on intelligence with the user being immune. The effect lasts up to 1 hour, depending on wind and other environmental factors.LEVEL = 1COST = 100+150/REACTIVATIONThe skill seemed to be borderline OP, as it lasted for a full hour, without an unusual environmental effect. Greg then sat down in the center of the clearing and cleared his mind, he wanted to create some new spells of his own to be used. He thought about why he had wind and water, and realized that it was because they were compositional elements of ice. He needed to mix them using multi-casting to create the ice spells. He thought about how he would combine them, funneling them, one coming out through each hand. He focused on creating a mountain of ice, one that could encompass a target. This rang with a new skill notification, but he wasn't finished yet. He then went on to think about a spell that would use plain magic, channeling it into a spinning lance. As he did this, a giant lance of mana appeared in front of him, and he decided to make just one more new skill. He focused on created a barrier of ice around his own body, one that he could control at will. This came up with an armor of ice surrounding him, that would remain solid as long as the environment was cold or mana channeled into it. He then looked at the three new spells he gained.

[table]SKILLICE MOUNTAIN FUNERALACTIVECreating a mountain of ice to surround the target, this spell freezes and kills whatever is trapped inside. Only a Fire Spell of the GRAND level can destroy this monstrous spell.LEVEL = 1COST = 3000

SKILLSPINNING MANA LANCEACTIVEBeing an advanced tier spell, it is capable of piercing even the strongest defenses in the magical world without a high tier defensive spell. The current number per cast is 1, but is increased based upon level.LEVEL = 1COST = 250

SKILLICE ARMORACTIVECreates a nearly impenetrable armor of ice, considered an advanced spell, it is capable of withstanding nearly any physical attack, and can even withstand up to intermediate ranked fire spells.LEVEL = 1COST = 500+150/MINUTE

As Greg closed the window for these new skills, he also opened a new window. This window notified him that the level up restrictions were raised to ADVANCED for his MAGIC MASTERY, and GRAND for ICE ELEMENTAL MASTERY. The reason for these restrictions being lifted was that he created an original spell of the level to which he could now raise the skills. Seems that creating new spells is the best way to do things, not only do I gain the benefit of powerful new skills, but also of further raising my passive abilities. Then, a mist swirled around him, and he was transported to what the people of the magic community knew to be a dungeon. It was a space that existed outside of time and place, one that was unique to who entered. It would create a monster that was a challenge for the skills and stats possessed.

What this meant was the creation of an ADVANCED TIER FIRE ELEMENTAL inside this dungeon. While it was something that only the very upper echelon of mages could perform, a normal ice Sage of Gregory's skills should be easily defeated by such a creature. Only one trump card was possessed by Gregory that could help him win, and that was his GRAND tier ice spell. As he wandered through the dungeon, he faced many small creatures offering him experience, items, and skill books. Still though, none seemed to be anything he wanted to learn right now. They were all far too easy to defeat, learning a new passive for the blade.

Before long though, either through luck or a curse, he ran into the fire elemental. He could feel something off about this encounter, but wondered what until the monster covered the area in fire so powerful even the ICE ARMOR he summoned could barely protect him. He kept dodging attacks, the armor becoming easier to keep up as the first minute passed. Eventually, his mana was stuck on full again, and Gregory decided to start an offense. He launched three spinning mana lances at the fire elemental, which he had hoped would send the creature to a quick death, but instead left it standing as if nothing happened. He quickly used reveal, investigating what could have caused nothing to happen from such a powerful attack. What he read feared him to the core. An advanced tier fire elemental, immune to all magic below its level. The mana lance probably doesn't work since I don't have MAGIC MASTERY[ADVANCED] yet. I need something that can deal with it. He scrambled about, trying to stay alive and figure out what to do. Wait, it is only advanced, it shouldn't be able to escape from the ICE MOUNTAIN FUNERAL skill. If it doesn't work though, my armor will likely shut down and leave me dead. Still, this is my only chance. Performing the skill, he hoped beyond reason that the elemental would not dodge, be too arrogant to think ice could damage it. As eh performed the spell, he felt his mana drain to almost empty. He could feel the armor cracking with the heat and extra drain that caused the spell. Suddenly, the heat stopped, the elemental was trapped in the mountain of ice as if a statue. He kneeled down entirely exhausted and then looked to see the mountain melt away. He got up on his feet, until he noticed it was just skill books being revealed. Looking at the books he saw three, FIRE ELEMENTAL MASTERY[INTERMEDIATE], FIRE LAND BURST, and ELEMENTAL SUMMONING[BEGINNER]. He moved to pick them up and then was instantly teleported out of the dungeon upon grabbing them. The notification said that he had completed the dungeon and would no longer be attacked here without activating the DUNGEON ENTRANCE skill.
