Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ceiling got cracked and slowly the entire ceiling fell down but from the narrowest path, Brian dashed out of the cave with a mummy’s body in his hand.

“Hu! Hu! Hu!”

Thud!

Brian panted hard while throwing the mummy’s body to the ground. The young man inside the webs wasn’t dead but he was currently deadweight for him. Brian looked back with awe and amazement in his eyes.

“I really did that?”

In fact, that was simply a coincidence. He just wanted to try if it works. After all, he doesn’t want to use Cursed Hands once again. And, it did work but also blew out his expectation. Using mana to enhance his physical strength and rotate his arms, he was able to create a hurricane powerful enough to destroy the cave.

[You killed Lv.5 Poison Spider]

[You received 25XP]

[You received Poison Sac and Spider Legs]

[Congratulation on creating a skill.]_{-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.}

[You have earned 50XP, 50 God’s Coin, and Token for Sub-Class]

“What? They added this function as well and so soon?” Brian was shocked when he saw the last two panels. Originally, he was just happy to kill the poison spider but he didn’t expect to create a new skill on his own. At the same time, a massive announcement appeared in the sky, and in front of every player.

[Player DragonRider97 has become the seventh person to create a skill. His name has been added to the Skill Hall of Fame]

‘Wait! This shouldn’t be possible. Even if the damage was high, there are some criteria that need to be filled before one can truly call it a skill. So, how?’

‘Wait a minute! Magic! Damn, it’s all because of magic. As a warlock, my external stat is magic. It increases our control over mana to an extreme degree. To create a skill, one needs to do something extraordinary with their mana and eternal stats.’

‘If it was a swordsman using this skill, it wouldn’t be called skill. Because swordsman doesn’t have perfect mana control like us with magic stat. So, when I used that attack, I used magic to control my mana to perfection, creating a devastating attack.’

‘So, it didn’t record this move as a skill because it was unique. I just simply swing my arms. Rather, it did because of my extreme mana control as a warlock to create a sword move. That means this skill has been registered to the system and the next time, a swordsman can acquire this skill.’

‘Acquiring skills gives you complete control over mana for that specific skill which is also the requirement for creating a skill. Damn! I never thought of this before. But, 50 God’s Coins and Token for Sub-Class is really over the top as a reward.’ _{ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ}

‘To get that token, a person needs to complete a certain quest nearly at level 50 or 100. But, I never expected to get it now. Even so, I can only use it after reaching level 10.’

Brian sighed with emotions. He felt he was blessed because of his knowledge of this game. But, he didn’t expect his luck to be so broken.

‘Anyway, let’s check my new skill.’

“Open Skill Status”

[Current Skills- DragonRider97 Sword Art- Dragon Twister, …..]

Pat!

‘Damn! Why in the world did I name it by my game name? This is so embarrassing.’ Brian slapped his forehead as his face turned red. He closed his eyes while clicking on the skill.

Punished- Labeled as Failed Creation]

‘wait, Wait, WAIT THE F**K! Elixir of Life? Spirit Contract?’

“How?”

Brian couldn’t help but turn his head at the sky and scream.

Elixir of Life was something that he does need. If he could get this elixir, he would no longer have lifespan problems because of his warlock class. It was not an easy item to get either. Elixir of Life was a project that he dropped before leaving UMA.

ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ It was an incomplete project because he didn’t get enough support from UMA Tech directors to create such a powerful item in the game. If this item falls in the hands of Warlock, he can go overboard with his dark magic. After all, UMA had three races and none of them wanted one race to take overcome another.

And, even for other creatures as well as players, this could be a potion to live for hundreds of years even in real life. Because everything in the game affects real life. But, he never expected someone else to continue and even finish this project.

He knew this wasn’t a joke. Because there is a firewall in the game. Since creators could create almost anything they want, they could think of themselves as gods who can do anything. This firewall blocked the developers to create an overpowered or annoying thing in the game.

If that thing breaks the seven core rules of the UMA, it can’t be added. And, Elixir of Life breaks one of them. A class must have one weakness at the very least. Because Elixir of Dragon Heart, Holy Water of Elves, and even Staff of Pope can cure most of Warlock’s weakness.

The only thing they can’t cure is the degrading lifespan. And, so if something does passes through the firewall, it must be true. Just this was enough to make him shocked.

As for Spirit Contract, it was a scroll that can summon the spirit of a certain element. This is an extraordinary power. Spirits aren’t the creation of developers.

This virtual world itself creates the spirits in order to balance the flow of mana. With the help of the spirit, one can access an unimaginable amount of mana and also a complete mutation with a new element. If the mutation is completed, then he can use that same power in the real world.

Level One increases the strength by 5 points which equals five-kilo grams of strength. But, a person can only get ten percent of their total power which means he will only get five hundred grams of strength. This is a slow process.

But, if one manages to get the power of spirit, he can instantly cover this gap with his elemental powers. Only twenty percent of humans have supernatural powers. But, this is not enough to face other races.

If not for the absurdly strongest superheroes, humanity would’ve been wiped out of existence. After all, it wasn’t peace at first. Humanity’s top ten strongest superheroes, each with the ability to take down the entire Zone by themselves threatened to live and die with vampires if they continued to fight.

If it was all of the races against humans, then they wouldn’t have considered this as a threat. But, they were fighting against each other as well. So, this threat managed to force them to sign a peace treaty. The vampires who attacked his zone were rebels.

After all, there are vampires and werewolves who do not like the idea of being in peace with other races. So, to control this, UMA was formed out of cooperation. UMA selects and ranks the superheroes from rank one to nine, and even above.

If he manages to secure the contract, even if he gets the lowest level of spirit, he can still rank fifth or even sixth in that ranking. That much power one can acquire through this contract. So, having both at once truly made him speechless.

But, he didn’t underestimate the difficulty of this quest. Creating six more attacks, each more unique than before could be extremely tiresome. He doesn’t even know where to start. He helplessly sighed and walked up to the boy.

He held him on his shoulder and dashed away. He has already rested enough.

After twenty minutes, he reached the village and met the old man. He used the fire to melt the webs and showed his son to that old man. Because his heart was still beating, the old man burst into tears.

The people in this virtual world aren’t real but they have evolved. They have every bit of emotion that humans have but they can still do something inhuman thing without any power. Staying alive for so long inside the webs was an inhuman feat in itself.

This was only possible because he was a virtual being after all. With that, he completed his quest.

“Status!”
