Chapter 4: Baptism of Fire

- How can I become the average main character from an isekai anime with black hairs if I've got red ones!?

- We are not in an anime and on top of that it's not an isekai!

- Sorry but the world behind this window is not the one I used to know!

- Surely but we are still in the same planet so it's not an isekai. And here the ones with black hairs are Thveath's people.

William immediately erased the idea of getting his black hairs back. He couldn't look like his sworn enemy. He just had to get accustomed to his new hair color. There was something more important now.

I can finally see my flame gauge. But it is in the top left corner of my view. Every time I want to look at it, my eyes turn in this direction but the thing keep moving. It's not convenient to have it there. They could have put it just below the center of my view.

At the instant he thought of it, a red gauge slightly consumed appeared before his eyes. It took him by surprise, but he now knew how to check the capacity of his generator.

995 liters left...huh what is this?

Aside his flame gauge, another information was shown now on his visual interface. William focused on it.

A skill icon? Wait… It's me on this picture!? It's exactly in this way that I attacked Phyre. Usually there would be… Ah there!

A new "page" appeared before him.

["Flame Missile

- Seeing your face, you just discovered the skill bar.

- If we are not in an isekai, how do you explain the Cooldown? That's only in games!

- It's because we took some of your things for other things. But it's not the same thing that's in your games. The Cooldown is only for skills you learnt from others but if you're the creator, you can use it as much as you want, until your generator empties.

- It's an unfair advantage in an one v one fight. Why would someone learn from someone else with this?

- When you're not imaginative enough to make your own skill.

- It's coherent, wait a minute… Normally if I follow your saying, my first skill should have a Cooldown because you just taught it to me.

- Normally it's a Fireball, and you made a Fire Missile. It's your own skill, it's a better version that cost 5 liters instead of 2.

How does she know that… ah yes it's a goddess.

- Well, now the second skill, [Warm Up], and this time follow my exact lead. As you already know, you're totally fire-proof to your own flames. But you only got a great resistance against heat car it's an other element under my tutelage.

- Who's…

- No no no, the questions are for later.

- OK ok, so I use the heat to warm my muscles rapidly and gain a power boost, that's all?

- Exactly, now Hurry up!

She looked quite pissed by the fact that the young redhead just stole her the pleasure to explain a skill.

Will acted, flames got out of his necklace et surrounded him entirely. Visually it looked like the flames emerged from his body as if it was ki. Is this the secret of the Saiyans? All the muscles of William got buffed up but whereas he was wearing a red tanktop no veins could be seen on his arms. Why? Because his scales were thick enough. He should have quite the hairy arms when he was still human.

The young guy went to the window and looked down the tower.

- What are you…

- I'm gonna test this boost out.

He opened the window and jumped. He was at the highest floor from a castle-like building.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Her humble place huh…

William started to regret to have jumped. But now it was too late for regrets. In the air, he shot a dozen of Fire Missiles at the opposite side from the building. The knock back closed the distance between Will and the wall. And he gained a new skill.

I hope my scales are solid enough… well just in case…

Other flames got out of his generator. It concentrated on the right hand of William, creating a kind of blade of fire. The fire seemed really thick, almost solid. He trusted the blade in the wall and the falling slowed a little. Astonishly the blade was going through the wall as if it was butter. But Will was still high enough to take damage at the landing, and that even with this slowed down speed. A new skill appeared in his shortcut stick. He used it immediately.

[Fire Dagger] !

A blade exactly like the fist one took shape around the other hand of William. He trusted this one on the wall at the height of his hips and horizontally. In this way the blade was going through the wall but edge wasn't cutting it because of gravity. And on top of that it was the hand of William, at the side of the blade, that stayed sticked to the new hole made in the wall.

He took the first blade to place it lower than the second one and he started to climb down the wall in this way.

Usually, anyone would have gone out of strength during that process and have fallen from quite high seeing the height of the wall and the fact that climbing down is harder than climbing up. But with the skill [Warm Up], Will was quite strong and could stay in this pull up pose during the whole descent.

That's some good skill we have here!

At the instant he said that, another skill added up on his interface. He now had 4 skills which he could use anytime.

He opened the page of the second icon, it represented him, in the air shooting numerous Fire Missiles.

The fact that each missile is independent gave them a direction that is not the exact same for each projectile. At 15 meters they are far away enough from each others to consider them as single [Fire Missile] "]

Why did it become a skill? If I want to launch 10 missiles on a thing I launch 10 missiles and that's all! Well, the next one…

The icon, this time was showing him sticked to the wall of the "humble place" of Phyre. A Fire Blade covering his right hand.

I see, it's almost like a beam sword!

And the last one…

It's really a good boost, but this…

William seemed quite satisfied by his new skills then he looked at the Fire blades he had on his hands.

200 liters… It's too much… How much liters left?

The container of the generator appeared in his view.

537/1000 liters? I almost used half of it in 5 min? I need skills that are less Pyro voracious. Is there a way to…

He focused on his Fuswords, pfff what is this name, ah excuse me… So Yes he's looking to his Fire Daggers with attention. Their flame started to flicker before taking back their original from. The necklace suddenly shone, vacuuming the flammes on the hands of William. Once all the fire absorbed, the light of the jewelry turned off.

897/1000 ? I took flames back?

A new icon appeared before him, but this time it wasn't a skill. A sort of star was on the right side of his view. And on this same icon a red dot was flickering on a corner. The young dragonewt focused on this novelty.

[Skill list:

-Recycling{New}

-Warm Up

-Fusword

-Fire Missiles Barrage

-Fire Missile]

Before each name, we could see the icon of the skill, and the shortcut stick was also visible under the new window.

So that's here that we sort the skills of the skill stick. It give me some ideas, but before let's see that new skill!

["Recycling

-0% Warm Up

-10% FMB (Fire Missiles Barrage)

-10% Fire Missile

Description: Take back the flames that are left after the use of a skill."]

Oh Ho! That's a fucking good skill!

-Allright so you're done?

William didn't needed to turn himself to picture who was talking. He felt the pressure of the presence of this person. No in fact it was more of a huge wave of heat emitted by this person. He was in some deep sauce.

That presence attracted strongly the view of the people around them.

She's out of her castle!? Who's this guy? Let's run while she's occupied…
