As I continued my training in the basement, I focused my energy and concentration on controlling the twenty 3D printed plastic daggers that whirled around me .
With my special abilities, I could transform these seemingly harmless plastic weapons into deadly weapons, even more formidable than traditional alloy daggers.
SWOOOOSH!
SWOOOOSH!
SWOOOOSH!
With my mind and powers, I could make them hit their targets with accuracy. I practiced my offensive and defensive maneuvers, making the daggers swoop and dive, forming a formidable barrier against potential threats. The sounds of the daggers cutting through the air served as a constant reminder of the power at my fingertips.
"World Orbit," I mumbled, and in response to my command, the thirty daggers encircling me reorganized themselves into a circular barrier, ready to strike from all directions. My makeshift defense, revolved around me like a lethal whirlwind.
"Expand," I said again, and the daggers complied, widening the radius of their orbit. The barrier grew larger, extending my protective zone.
"Constrict," I ordered, and the daggers obeyed, drawing closer together, forming a tighter and more impenetrable ring around me.
"Pierce," I declared, and with that, the daggers shot outward with deadly precision, each following its designated path. The enemy would find no escape within the confines of this deadly storm.
I had realized that naming my attacks made it easier for me to remember and execute them. The power of words and intent, combined with my unique abilities, allowed me to control and manipulate these daggers .
As I concluded my training , I issued one final command, "Hide."
In response, the daggers began to retreat, returning to my bags. The lethal tornado of daggers gradually vanished from the air, each one obediently finding its place within my bags.
'That was exhausting,' I said to myself, stretching my legs and flexing my fingers.
Controlling those daggers might not have been physically taxing, but it certainly drained my mental power quickly. That was why I had chosen to limit myself to controlling only 30 daggers at a time – it was the most effective rate for me.
Adding more daggers to the mix would have compromised my control for the sake of quantity. It was a delicate balance between wielding power and maintaining precision, and I had learned to strike that balance now.
Despite my progress, I still felt like I didn't have enough power. I knew I had to work even harder and keep developing my skills because I was just scratching the surface

"I'm close to leveling up," Musing to myself, I observed my current EXP points and realized I was getting closer to 7000 EXP. The EXP I had acquired from dealing with those troublesome couples in the mountains was more than usual.
The system was really generous with its rewards, particularly when I was either exceptionally horny or filled with anger during my interactions. It was a weird balance of emotions and choices.
"Open Skill Combination," I commanded. I had been neglecting this option for a while because I didn't have many skills that I felt were closely related, making any upgrades risky. However, I couldn't afford to play it safe any longer. Time was of the essence, and I needed to take some risks if I wanted to grow more powerful.
[Berserk Level 1 + Stamina Master Level 1]
I made the decision to combine these two skills because individually, they didn't seem to have much practical use for me anymore, especially since my Mind Power had increased. Berserk was nearly useless if my primary strategy was to rely solely on my Telekinesis, and Stamina Master's effects weren't particularly impressive to begin with.
My growing power and understanding of my abilities had rendered these skills somewhat obsolete on their own..
Even if the combination didn't work out as planned, I wouldn't really lose much. My hope was that by merging these skills, I might discover a more powerful and useful ability that could outweigh their individual limitations.

[Combination Failed]
"Damn it!" I cursed out loud when I saw the failed screen. I know I had said it wouldn't matter to me, but there was a stark difference between saying something and actually experiencing it.
[System: 2 Fragments Points Acquired]
"Fragments points?" I wondered aloud. This was the first time I had failed in combining skills, so the term "Fragment points" was entirely unfamiliar to me.
I read the system's explanation .
——————-
*Fragment Points: Points you get when you fail to combine a skill. These fragment points can be used to increase the chance of successfully combining skills in the future.
*Fragments Points can be use to buy back broken skill . One Broken Skill cost 2 Fragment Points
——————-
"Well, at least I got something from it," I sighed to myself, trying to convince myself that the situation wasn't as bad as it seemed.
As frustrating as the failed combination had been, the acquisition of Fragment Points offered a silver lining. It was good to know that I have a safety net now.
"Should I buy more skills and try to combine them?" I asked myself. I still had three domination points to spare, so it wouldn't hurt to check out the Skill store and see if there were any abilities that could be useful or could potentially be combined to enhance my powers further.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
I heard a knock on the door that caught my attention. I had instructed everyone not to disturb me unless it was something important, so the interruption definitely meant something.
"Mind Link," I activated my skill, allowing me to connect with one of them.
