Chapter 12: Skill Shop IV
Thea then looked at the prices of the tabs to unlock them:
[0 DP]
[0 DP]
[0 DP]
[5 DP]
[25 DP]
[25 DP]
[25 DP]
[50 DP]
[50 DP]
[1 000 DP]
The first 3 tabs were free like in the [Passive Skill Shop] but the next tabs, excluding the potential special skill, were half the price. This made sense to Thea as, passive skills would always be active and cost nothing to use, while active skill had to manually be used and probably used mana to operate.
She thought for a while and bought all 10 tabs. Like she predicted, when she opened the first tab, on the bottom of the window there was the same exclaimer:
[Can Select 9 Different Skills]
As Thea had an almost perfect body with all the body modifications she made, the amount of skills before her was intimidating to say the least.
As she read through all the skills, she had seen some really odd ones like with the passive skills, they ranged from [Mana Infused Quacking 5 DP] to [Muscle Posing 5 DP], skills that she would have no use for.
Thea did however find more skills she liked than in comparison to the passive skills. She found some of the novel skills she would need for her Isekai life, and some others she would use in her personal life, and others that would be useful in combat.
Hours, maybe days later after she finished looking through the skill list she had 29 skills she wanted, but with the 9 empty slots that were provided to her, she started to narrow down her choices until she was left with 9 skills she absolutely wanted:
[Mana Zone (LVL.1) 35 DP]
[Metallurgy (LVL.1) 30 DP]
[Hair & Tail Strike (LVL.1) 10 DP]
[Inventory (LVL.1)]
[Map (LVL.1)]
[Inspect (LVL.1)]
[Poison Creation (LVL.1)]
[Rift Magic (LVL.1)]
As she had done previously with her passive skills she selected her active skills and upgraded them to max while inspecting their new characteristics.
[Mana Zone (LVL.MAX): You release mana from your body to the surroundings. |1 meter radius, per 1% mana release, at max level you can cancel opponents magic and make mana tangible if enough is released| 140 DP]
This would come in handy if used together with her passive [Death Aura], and as she could currently release up to 200% of her mana, she could expand her range to 200 meter in radius.
[Metallurgy (LVL.MAX): You can created a metal of higher value or metal of larger amounts depending on the amount of mana used. You can move metal only created by yourself. 120 DP]
When she would start getting large amounts of mana, she would exploit this skill greatly.
[Hair & Tail Strike (LVL.MAX): You use mana to strengthen and harden you hair or tails. 40 DP]
She already had the control and hardness needed for her tentacle hair and tails but not the power to inflict damage, Thea planned to change that with this skill.
[Language Talent (LVL.MAX): Allows you to understand and speak any language. |This skill permanently removes 0.1% of your maximum mana to become a passive skill| 400 DP]
Strangely expensive but self-explanatory.
[Enchantment Talent (LVL.MAX): You can add enchantments to objects using mana. |The stronger the enchantment the more mana it costs| 140 DP]
[Inventory (LVL.MAX): You gain a private interdimensional space to store non-living things. Time is stopped, keeping temperatures the same and food fresh. |This skill permanently removes 1% of your maximum mana to become a passive skill| 220 DP]
[Map (LVL.MAX): You can open and close a map that will be visible to you alone in your vision. |This skill permanently removes 1% of your maximum mana to become a passive skill| 220 DP]
[Inspect (LVL.MAX): You can display another object or organism's status. |This skill permanently removes 1% of your maximum mana to become a passive skill - No chanting required| 220 DP]
Completing everything in the Isekai set she wanted.
[Poison Creation (LVL.MAX): You can create any poison inside yourself using mana. Can be used through either nails or fangs, if in possession. 180 DP]
Thea had a pair of fangs and indestructible nails so this worked out perfectly for her.
[Rift Magic (LVL.MAX): You become more perceptive to the space around you. You gain the ability to move yourself and other things through space. |Depending on what actions made, mana gets consumed| 6800 DP]
