Hm, the Phantom Skill is pretty great for what it is, I am going to use it to my heart’s content and go around using phantasmal attacks from now on… I might even end up merging them with the elemental magic spells or something else- Oh well, for now, I will look into the other Skills that I got.

[Deadly Venom Production: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/10000

A Skill that only incredibly venomous beings can acquire. It grants the power to secrete deadly venom toxins in the form of liquid venom, which can be modified and edited accordingly to the user’s desires. It can cause paralysis, sleep, confusion, and more. It is possible to manipulate the venom as a slimy substance, as the level raises, intensity and resistance penetration effects are enhanced.

Oho! I see, so this not only is just damage per second/minute poison stuff but it can be edited into all sorts of weird status ailments! Well, all the Demon Lords had insane resistance skills, I bet these bastards also grinded their levels and skills a lot seeing how everybody in this world got the chance to grow stronger through the Soul Books, there’s no way they didn’t abused it. Anyways, this Skill, I leveled up, can even ignore resistance levels, it seems, and… I can even manipulate the venom I secrete as some sort of slimy substance, pretty interesting, maybe I could just cover myself on it or something, who knows?

[Insectoid Legs Creation: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/10000

A Skill given to certain bug-type monsters that can regrow limbs even when they are cut at an instant by spending Mana. This power grants not only the ability to grow pairs of insectoid legs but also can grow other types of limbs if the level increases. As the skill level increases, the legs become stronger and more resistance, and can even harbor elemental magic to unleash strong attacks, or even be launched as projectiles.

Hahaha… WHAT?! I can launch my legs like projectiles?! Now that’s insane. I had really low expectations for this one Skill, but wow, okay, alright! I guess I am grinding the hell out of this Skill, I’ll be detaching and regrowing my limbs constantly just to increase its level! Just like when crabs detach their limbs easily so prey can eat them and they can escape, I will just do the same thing! I wonder if I can also eat my own legs… Huh, doesn’t sound bad, maybe they taste like crab if I boil them. Wait, isn’t this bizarre? Haha, nah, I used to eat myself back then anyways.

Oh right, and lastly, there is this one Title Skill that sounds… MENACING.

[Terrifying Menace: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/10000

Due to your nature as a being that brings doom and fear to the hearts of your enemies and maybe non-enemies, your entire existence emanates a terrifying and fear-inducing dark aura that qualifies you as a great menace. You can cause direct fear in foes, especially those that consider you an enemy at sight. All damage dealt against enemies affected by [Fear] is enhanced by +20% with each level.

—–

Huh, so I am terrifying! Well, good to know the obvious. Anyways this is nice against fearful enemies but the demon lords are always cocky until they die, I doubt I can easily inflict that status condition on them!

Anyways, I quickly decided to practice skills because sleeping is for losers (and to distract myself from the crippling depression of being away from all my loved ones), as I started to create and detach my bug legs. It results in them actually staying, and accumulating endlessly as items, I constantly did this until I wasted all of my Mana, and then I simply began to absorb Mana from the environment, making plant life and animals die dried like mummies, oops.

I also bathed myself in my own attacks, fire, wind, ice, and all of that together. It was rather nice and it barely felt any pain, maybe Pain Resistance at Level 4 is really a nice Skill… I tried using a plethora of skills constantly to accumulate Skill proficiency. The White Dragon came to check on me after around three hours, looking at me with his jaws wide open as if he was looking at a freak.

“What? I am busy grinding skill proficiency.” I sighed.

“A-Are you not going to sleep?” He wondered. “You from all people should be tired- Are those a pile of giant insect legs?!”

“Yep, I can make and detach them as long as I got Mana, so I am gaining proficiency with the Skill I got about legs, I want leg missiles.” I said.

“M-Missiles?” He asked.

“Yeah! Got a problem with that?” I asked.

“…Do as you please, I will talk to you about what I found out tomorrow morning.” He said. “The Queen and the King are alright for now, I’ve healed them and gave back the lifespan to the King… Anyways, good night.”

“Good night, giant white dragon.” I said.

“I am not a giant white dragon! I am a young god! And my name is Luminous by the way, call me like that please…” He sighed.

“Okay, White Dragon.” I said. “I might call you Luminous… or not, it depends on my mood, really.”

“Look, you’re incredible and all but you’re a bit too cocky sometimes…” He sighed.

“Sorry, you can take fifty legs as an apology. I think they could be tasty if you boil them down and add some salt.” I said, extending a phantasmal hand and handling fifty legs to the White Dragon.

“I-I don’t want this!!!” He cried, flying away after getting too weirded out with me.

“Eh? Come on, what an asshole, I was giving you free food! Hey, come to think of it, maybe I can solve world hunger with my legs…” I laughed, as I looked at one leg and then began to boil it, and then, I broke it down and ate it.

Wow, it tastes like crab! No way!
