Chapter 8: Passively useless

Chapter 8: Passively useless

Sofia woke up in the deep of night, still fully clothed on her bed. She looked at her available skills.

Available Passive Skills :

[Pristine ] : Your soul is in

[ of Bones] : against physical projectiles.

Of course the descriptions dont help, and they dont go well together.

[Pristine of Bones] ah yes, everyone needs clean bones dont they. If it was a skill I can give to my skeleton maybe it would be interesting but why do I care about MY bones? Talk about a passive skill, it would passively do fuck all wouldnt it? Even if I mash the description together then what? Defend my soul against physical projectiles? As if that was needed

How can I do anything like this? I dont even know how half my skills work exactly. Where do I file a complaint?

[ERROR]

I feel like I might have thought something I shouldnt have.

[SDS Discrepancy detected]

SDS?

[Admin action required]

[Available admins : 0]

This again! Whats an admin even? At this rate wont my class change to [System Error] at some point?

[Initiating emergency recovery. Please wait]

[Following procedure ERR-0675 : assigning tier two Scribe]

[Error fixed. Thank you for your patience]

Fixed? Scribe?

She looked through her status, but nothing was different from before she fainted the previous day. The system fixed what, the useless descriptions?

She checked the skill with the weirdest description previously.

[Summon blood] : Summons liquid human blood anywhere in a 2 meters (1*Skill Level) radius from the Saintomancer (Must be free space). The quantity of blood summoned this way is : (1*Skill Level*Mana Spent) Milliliters.

Thats a lot of new information! Did I just win the jackpot by complaining? The system had a function like that? Also this clearly means it knows my class is weird and it didnt do anything about it. Good. Wouldnt want it to only realize what its done later and try to erase it or something.

She took a few seconds to process the math. So I can summon forty liters of blood right now? Is that a lot? It kinda feels like a whole lot but also not enough to really do anything

Maybe it was for the best that she didnt push her luck further. Her mana had fully refilled while she was out. She spent the next hour trying to give increasingly complex command chains to the rat.

[Holy Skeleton] reached level 19

[Holy Skeleton] reached level 20

She only had 400 mana left by the time it reached level 20.

Lets check out the new function. Please be good!

[Holy Skeleton] : Allows the Saintomancer to control a ritually created Holy Skeleton wielding the Holy light of Gods. The Holy Skeleton will keep experience when switching host bones. Physical and magical capabilities are influenced by the current bones.

Lv.1 : The Saintomancer always knows where their Holy Skeleton is.

Lv.10 : The Holy Skeleton boasts a glorious [Halo] empowering Holy related skills.

Lv.20 : The Holy Skeleton can create and wield a sword of Holy light. Proficiency depends on the host bones.

(Next function unlocks at Skill Level 30)

She was quite pleased with that, it was very funny observing the rat on his hind legs, trying to use a tiny sword of light. It looked like the skill would keep evolving every ten levels, all of her mana would go there as much as she could.

Irina came early in the morning pushing in a cart loaded with food and new clothes, Jeff and Yannick, the guards, followed behind her, carrying a small wooden cabinet and a fancy carpet. Ovohen must have been pleased with my performance, I am very interested in leveling up for sure. Although I maybe should try to slow it down a bit. When I hit 50 is my deadline cause theres no way I can summon any dumb hero for them with my skills.

Not one thats alive at least.

Today and tomorrow were days off, the Magisterium had many things to attend to. It was time to start putting in some serious work to get out of this dump.

[Holy Skeleton] reached level 21

[Holy Skeleton] reached level 26

[Fast reading] reached level 15

[Fast reading] reached level 17

The hero : Holy Skeleton gained a level! *19

[Shenanigans] reached level 50
