Wow, talk about an adrenaline rush! But seriously, "Adrenaline Rush" sounds like such a lame name compared to what it actually does. I mean, isn't it basically just an enhanced version of a speed boost? Speaking of which, I'm curious about the descriptions of "Speed Boost" and "Spark Plug." Without wasting a second, I eagerly open up the skills window to find out.
Spark Plug - Ability Description:
Spark Plug is a perilous ability that harnesses the power of electricity to temporarily paralyze both the enemy and the user upon a successful hit. This ability requires precision and timing to deliver an electrifying strike that leaves the target momentarily immobilized.
Description:
When activating Spark Plug, the user's body crackles with electric energy, generating a charged aura that surrounds them. With a swift and accurate motion, they release a focused bolt of electricity towards their intended target. Upon impact, the bolt delivers a powerful surge of electrical energy that courses through the enemy's body, causing temporary paralysis. Simultaneously, the user receives a feedback surge, paralyzing themselves as well.
Effects:
1. Paralyzing Bolt: Upon successfully hitting the enemy with Spark Plug, a surge of electricity courses through their body, causing a brief but significant paralysis. The enemy becomes immobilized, unable to move or take any action for a short duration, typically lasting a few seconds. This effect allows the user to gain a tactical advantage or initiate follow-up attacks.
2. Self-Paralysis: As a consequence of releasing Spark Plug, the user also experiences a momentary paralysis. The intense electrical feedback affects their own nervous system, rendering them temporarily immobilized for the same duration as the enemy. This self-inflicted paralysis leaves the user vulnerable to counterattacks during the cooldown period.
Stolen novel; please report.
Limitations and Risks:
1. Precise Hit Required: Spark Plug only takes effect if the bolt successfully hits the enemy. If the target evades or the user misses their mark, the ability will not trigger, negating the paralyzing effect and avoiding self-paralysis.
2. Limited Duration: The paralysis effect caused by Spark Plug lasts for a brief moment, typically equal to the duration of the cooldown period. This restriction ensures that both the enemy and the user are immobilized for an equal amount of time, maintaining a balanced gameplay mechanic.
3. Strategic Timing: The user must carefully time their use of Spark Plug to maximize its effectiveness. The ability should be employed during critical moments or when the enemy's immobilization will provide the user with a significant advantage. Misjudging the timing can result in missed opportunities or leaving oneself vulnerable without gaining a tactical edge.
4. Cooldown and Energy Management: Spark Plug triggers a cooldown period that matches the duration of the paralysis effect. During this time, both the user and the enemy recover from
paralysis. The user must manage their energy reserves and be mindful of cooldown periods to avoid overexertion and ensure the ability remains available when needed.
Spark Plug presents a high-risk, high-reward ability that momentarily paralyzed both the enemy and the user upon a successful hit. It requires precise execution, timing, and strategic decision-making to capitalize on the temporary advantage provided by the enemy's immobilization.

Speed Boost - Ability Description:
Speed Boost is a formidable skill that empowers the user with enhanced speed, surpassing the limits of an average human. With each activation, the user experiences a burst of speed equivalent to half that of a superhuman, lasting for a duration of 3 seconds. However, the utilization of this ability comes with a cost, as each use drains the user's mana reserves. To maintain balance, Speed Boost has a cooldown of 1 second before it can be activated again.
Description:
When activating Speed Boost, the user's body radiates with a pulsating energy, signifying the infusion of heightened speed. Their movements become fluid and graceful, as if defying the laws of nature. With a focused determination, they tap into their inner mana reserves, channeling its power to unlock their enhanced swiftness.
Effects:
1. Heightened Speed: Upon activation, the user's movement speed is elevated to a level that surpasses that of an average human. They become a blur of motion, swiftly traversing distances and reacting with remarkable agility.
2. Mana Drain: The utilization of Speed Boost requires the user to tap into their mana reserves. With each activation, a portion of their mana is drained, reflecting the energy required to sustain the heightened speed. Careful mana management is necessary to ensure the user retains enough resources for other abilities or strategic maneuvers.
3. 3-Second Duration: The effects of Speed Boost last for a precisely timed duration of 3 seconds. Within this timeframe, the user can fully exploit their enhanced speed to gain an advantage in combat, evasion, or any situation that benefits from swift movement.
Cooldown:
After the 3-second duration of Speed Boost concludes, the ability enters a cooldown period of 1 second.
Limitations and Risks:
1. Mana Dependency: The user's ability to activate Speed Boost relies on their mana reserves. If the user's mana is depleted or insufficient, they will be unable to access the enhanced speed, leaving them without this advantage until their mana replenishes.
2. Strategic Cooldown: The 1-second cooldown period prevents immediate consecutive uses of Speed Boost. It adds a strategic element to the gameplay, requiring the user to time their activations carefully and make tactical decisions about when to engage or disengage at heightened speed.
Speed Boost grants the user a remarkable burst of speed, rivalling that of superhuman capabilities. With its 3-second duration, mana-draining effect, and 1-second cooldown, it provides a dynamic and strategic advantage in various situations. The user must balance mana usage, timing, and decision-making to effectively utilize this ability and maintain a competitive edge in combat or other challenges.

As I finished reading about skill abilities, a sudden realization hit me like a ton of bricks. "Do I have any more skill than this?" I frantically searched through my system window, but to my dismay, I found "none." I couldn't believe it! I stomped out of the tribe, leaving the barbarians staring at me curiously and angrily.
As I walked away,the barbarians talk in curiosity about me. "What happened?" one asked. "I don't know," another replied, "he mentioned something about skills." "No," a third chimed in, "he just means he's going to kill some skilled master!" The others gasped in shock. "Woahh?!" they exclaimed. "That's our chief!" Suddenly, all of the barbarians began to chant, "Chief! Chief!!"

Outside the tribe ( forest)
As I strolled through the forest, I couldn't help but ponder my current skill set. "Maybe 3 skills is enough for me," I muttered to myself. But then, a sudden burst of confidence overtook me. "No, I need more skills HAH!" I exclaimed, feeling invigorated.
But just as quickly as my confidence had come, a nagging curiosity crept up on me. "I haven't checked my stats!" I realized. I quickly opened my system window and scanned through my abilities. My eyes grew wide with disappointment as I read through the list. "What is this..." I whimpered, my voice cracking with sadness.
