「Class upgrade Commencing」

Are the last words I saw before passing out. Waking up I felt like a new person. It's like I got born into a new person with natural talent. Having to get used to my senses felt amazing. Feeling the vibrant Mana around me. The Mana willingly accepting my body as it gets gathered.

「Class upgrade Finished

New Features:

An upgrade in all stats, skills, senses, etc.

New Skills:

Corpse Explosion: Corpse Explosion is a forbidden and dark magical technique that taps into the residual Mana present in deceased beings. It harnesses the latent energy within a lifeless body, manipulating it to create a devastating explosion. The user channels their Mana into a deceased body, catalyzing it to combust violently, causing substantial damage to foes in the immediate vicinity.

Body Guard Summon: The Bodyguard Summon skill is a formidable ability that enables the user to conjure a loyal and powerful guardian to protect them in times of need. This summoning spell calls forth a guardian entity from another plane of existence or imbues life into an inanimate object, empowering it to act as a vigilant and steadfast protector.

Blood Configuration: Blood Configuration is a rare and intricate skill that grants the user mastery over the manipulation and adaptation of their own blood in and outside their body.」

Damn. Corpse Explosion is very good. Although, I don't know if that means I can't absorb the soul of the monster. Blood Configuration can be a good skill if I know how it works better. The Tower doesn't give a good description on most of it's features. The worst one by far is the Body Guard Summon. I don't know about other people but calling a tree to be my bodyguard isn't very good.

Today will be another day at the coliseum. Needing to warm up before hitting the 14th Floor. Skills I need are Mana skills. Gaining Mana breathing was pure luck, I'm thankful for the skill. Although, I have no Mana related skills. Walking outside my room was amazing. Seeing the blue Mana everywhere was like a river that never stops vibrating.

Looking at all the players walking by staring at them in curiosity. Being able to see the amount of Mana gathered around them. Finally being able to see the difference between difficulties. The average easy player has gathered Mana around the size of a fist. A medium player has gathered Mana the size of a small child. While a hard player overcomes all of them, having a size of an above average adult.

Using this technique I can figure out who to battle and who to not battle. Walking closer and closer to the coliseum getting happier and happier. Seeing the person I want to battle the most. Looking at the person he's definitely unique. Having a gathered Mana the size of small apartment. My blood boils just being in his presences. Ignoring every one else in the coliseum I walk straight to him.

"Fight me. I'll offer a good skill."

"Seems like someone needs to be taught some manners. I'll teach you depending on the skill you give me."

"Shadow Invisibility"

"The fuck, what type of skill is that. Although, I can't decline an offer of a free skill like that. I'm already on the roster just challenge me."

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Ignoring the comment, I challenge him to a fight. Of course, he accepts. Even better, the skill he had for offer was perfect. A skill that has high compatibility to Mana Breathing.

After being teleported so much, I face less of a drawback. Seeing him face affects of teleportation made me confident. How can a newbie like him beat a pro like me?

「Start Match

Y or N?」

"Yes"

Before I even asked the opponent if he was ready I started. Seeing him block my first strike made me more exited. Seeing to how it pushed him back a bit he isn't as strong as the old man. Deciding to play with him for my enjoyment.

"Heavenly Moonlight Footwork"

Being close and personal is my strong suite. The first step comes like a creek. The second step growing into a small river. Each and every step I take increases the power of my attacks. Hearing the clash of the swords I smile. Wanting to try my new skill 'Blood Configuration' I cut my hand open. Being able to create anything from my blood. A little dagger, a starfish, even a mobile phone. Compressing the blood and shooting it is the best option. The less surface area the more the damage taken.

Dashing backwards stopping my barrage of attacks. Seeing the opponent breathing heavy and sweating made me less excited.

"Why aren't you using your Mana. I know you have lots of it gathered."

"I though it would be better since you're a close combat."

"Do what you want it doesn't matter since I'll win anyways."

Seeing the opponent smile as he pulls out a staff brings my excitement back. However, the staff he is holding doesn't look like your normal staff. Looking at the staff carefully it was imbued with Mana. Seeing something new made me curious about the skill. Deciding to focus on the battle and try the skill later.

Rushing towards him expecting nothing to happen like usual. A arrow gets fired at me. Striking it with my sword pushed me back. Stopping me in my tracks like a deer in a headlight. How does it have so much power behind it? This person makes me more and more curious about magic. Deciding to match his energy I compress my blood. Shaping my hand into a gun, firing the compressed blood towards the opponents leg. Seeing his face change expressions. Hearing the boy scream gave me my chance.

Wanting to look at his staff I rush over there.

"Flash Step"

Immediately appearing before him made him jump back. Snatching the staff from his grasp and kicking him back.

"Appraise"

「Do not have permission to 'Appraise' this item.」

While I haven't Appraised many items I've never seen something like this happen before.

"Hey, where did you get this staff?"

"That's not of your business so give it back!!"

Hearing him shout although we are so close to each other. Throwing the staff back at him. Seeing how he isn't even able to catch it, he's only good at magic. Deciding to just kill him for another Mana skill seems like the best choice. Bringing my sword up and giving my gratitude. From how many people I have killed I don't feel anything anymore. It's gotten as normal as doing a daily task.

"Absorb"

「New Skills:

Mana Arrow: Versatile magical skill that allows the user to conjure, shape, and project arrows or projectiles composed of concentrated mana.

Increased Mana Absorption: Enables the user to increase their innate ability to draw in and assimilate ambient mana from the environment, mystical nexuses, or mana-rich sources.」

Finally, being able to increase my Mana Breathing skill.

"Combine Skills, 'Increased Mana Absorption' and 'Mana Breathing'"

「New Skill:

Automatic Mana Absorption: Allows the player to automatically gather Mana no matter the situation. 」

Just by standing in the Coliseum I feel stronger every second. The Mana in my body continues to grow with each second.

By the time I got back to my room and lied down I already increased my Mana greatly. Looking at what I accomplished today I'm satisfied.
