As she went downstairs she checked her status screen, walking step by step, which resounded silently in the empty stairs that were now darker with the sunset.

Name: Sarah Specie: Human Talent: In process... Bloodline: None

Path:

Skills: ice Element - Low understanding

Stat point: 0 Trax: 2000

Agility : 16(8)

Strengh : (10)

Stamina : 16 (8)

Constitution: (9)

Intelligence: 36(12)

Now that she looked closer to her Stat she felt that they weren't that bad, but since she couldn't compare with the other it was hard to gauge and know if she made the good choice focusing on Intelligence stat she know she needed to put as many stat points she could in INT if she wanted to have a larger understanding of how to use her energy and the energy of the surrounding but apart from that she didn't feel that much smarter.

She was able to process things faster than before and order her body to react but now with she felt some discomfort her body was unable to follow the pace of her brain.

and as she checked her status the New word next to her Ice element Skill surprised her she was puzzled for a second missed a step in the stair making her lose balance almost falling down the stair.

' Yeah it would be stupid to die in the stair, after all, what I went through '

She thought but she shuddered quickly the idea smirking and remembering the feeling of the information about her Ice element skill she dismissed her status screen right now she just needed to hunt high-level beasts otherwise she will be quickly useless just like the other if they kept playing it safe.

casting her Skill she felt something in her body react, compared to before where she just felt the skill creating ice on its own now she was able to feel and understand a part of the process.

She could feel the energy in her body connecting with something in her brain and she quickly understood what it was it had the same feeling that her skill a cold and gentle breeze like if drinking cold water but instead of just feeling refreshed after drinking, she felt her body becoming colder and in a split of seconds an ice cone appeared in her right hand-floating.

stopping her step as she felt she might faint as she felt the world turning around her.

" ahhahaha that was crazy "

laughing her head still dizzy she sat a second on the stair, she felt like if she was able to scan her own body and particularly her head she felt small blue energies in a black space it was like being in the void not that she knows how it feels to be in the void, but it's what she felt the closest to it.

And in this place, her understanding of the Ice Element skill increased another notch as a glimpse of information was understood by her brain automatically but it stopped as fast she felt it coming.

even though this time she almost stumbled the stairs as she grasped the security bar to stabilize her body, she felt like a child discovering a new toy, and now instead of just forming a simple ice cone by compressing ice together with her energy and the surroundings one, she felt that as long she could have enough energy she could create more powerful attack and even use her skill to protect herself or the others.

She was in her though and didn't realize that she was lying on the stair now before she realizes, laughing like a crazy person and the fact that there was no light and that her voice resounded it was like in those stories movie with the voice of a ghost that could be heard in the house except it's in a staircase.

and one person not far from the staircase that leads to the upper floor at the ground-floor hall heard it.

" did you hear that "

Stella who was eating next to Louise freaked out jumping from the ground as she looked everywhere.

" what are you talking about I heard nothing "

Louise too lazy to care about her coworker continued eating.

" no seriously listen "

Ahahahaaa!

and hearing a voice for real Louise stood up but unlike Stella, she stayed composed and went toward the stair, from where the voice comes thinking that maybe some people were still in the building well hidden that they didn't notice.

" shouldn't we call the others they are just there "

Stella wasn't at all convinced to go with just the two of them even with her sword in hand, she was more afraid of ghosts than the beasts outside thinking that with how the world is going, so it wasn't that crazy that ghosts could exist.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

" Nah we check quickly we just open the door and look at the staircase and if there is no one, we tell the other normally we already checked the building and there shouldn't be someone else apart from us "

Louise said word by words and as she was about to open the door, it opened suddenly

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

" Why are you screaming like that"

Sarah stepped as she saw Stella and Louise with their sword raised toward her screaming as if they saw a monster

" Sa...Sarah thank god ughhh"

And everyone who was having a nice chat, enjoying their food with the sunset light in the building looked toward them as they all took their weapon ready to defend themself.

And Stella and Louise seeing the ruckus they caused became of embarrassment as they came back at the hall head down, not wanting to see the look everyone gave them, full of desperation with few people they noticed were forcing themself to not laugh but they weren't that good at.

" You see I told you there was no ghost seriously why did I even listen to you"

Louise sitting on a corner of the hall a little away from the other said to Stella shaking her head helplessly, she opened her mouth to defend herself but quickly shut it, there was no excuse.

********

Sarah quickly took the food she came for some can food the bottle of water should still be upstairs in her backpack and Lisa so it would be enough for the day.

She checked quickly the others asking Sarah about what happened to the underground parking making her think that her new understanding came at a good time she wasn't far from level up and with her understanding she would be able to be more helpful in case Chris don't wake up tomorrow.

she went back upstairs, Lisa was now sitting at the edge of the bed lost in her thought

" oh you took long to come back "

posing the can of food to the ground as she searched for something to open them.

- " yeah I was trying to learn something about the skills that I gained "

Sarah said as she found a can opener in Lisa backpack, but didn't explain much and Lisa understood what that means it was Chris idea to not talk about skills apart from how to work the system and it seemed like his cautious character were right as Sarah herself who first thought it doesn't make sense to hide it was also ok with it, as now even if she tried to reenter this black space she was unable to like if it was blocked.

" I didn't think you will have a can opener in your bag "

Sarah said in a surprised tone as she took the can opener and started opening the canned food and the small of tomatoes sauce assaulted their nose it was a mere ravioli but damn it seemed like the most delicious food they ever smelled, having the smell of blood all the day in your nose and now this change and the hunger it amplified all their senses as they started to eat no more talking, enjoying their meal.

- yeah it was some of the things we found at the grocery we were and I thought it might be useful and now here it is "

eating in silence their food they quickly finished it and went to sleep, Sarah decided to stay with Lisa in case Chris strange state occur once again and the night went smoothly, downstairs the others were starting to go to sleep too in their room, creating quickly an order of guard for the night even if there was Sky and Lisa snake to watch for the night having peoples to watch was still more reassuring.

..........

...........................

" What!, not that feeling again "

Chris after an incalculable amount of time opened his eyes but everything around him for about ten or so seconds was completely blue, turning his head left to right as he tried to find some landmark to what was happening to him and where he was but nothing, it didn't seem like it was like the time where he was finding a path for his bloodline he could see that it seemed like a room.

He could feel his body becoming colder as a surge of energy entered his body followed by a hot one both entangling each other, his bones becoming tougher like metals and elastic at the same time as if forged by a blacksmith.

Congratulations on Awakening your Innate Talent War growth as having a bloodline related to Selflearning { Fighting Foes stronger than you can make you stronger as your bloodline absorbed more energy during the fight before turning it into power to sculpt your body and make you able to support the amount of energy allowed by your level, and fight at the same level for a short period during which your capacities power is doubled }

I was surprised as I saw the prompts, and at the same time, I had to stay focus as the tickle in my bones transmitted all the sensation it was going through to my nerves but compared to the pain to have my brain being torn apart it was bearable at some extent much more like a massage session as It was like wanting to scratch your skin when it itches.

With small waves of pain coursing from head to toe like an electric shock, which disappeared quickly as I lost myself in my thought, thinking what was the extent of my Talent since Sarah had some limitations with her Talent.

My brain capacities seemed stronger as I could process things faster but apart from my bones strengthening nothing new happened I was still as strong as a level 9 or ten Evolved beast as long I used a weapon otherwise my fighting capabilities will dramatically be reduced I didn't know any type of hand to hand combat technique not that it would matter either with human or Beasts both having gun and magic with how the world is now it should be like that.

" His awake finally few you scared us you know it's been almost one or two days if we count yesterday since you got again unconscious after fighting it's a habit or what? "

I heard the voice of someone and suddenly my sight came back like if I washed my eyes The blue colors that filled my sight slowly weakened until I could see where I was I could feel my hand touching something but not sure what.

- " Stop it are it's not funny "

I quickly recognized the second voice to be Lisa voice as when I looked at what hand touched was her firm ass as she was lying with her head on my chest, pinching my right hand I barely felt something but still let go and looked at her, as she glanced at me both with angry eyes but at the same time with softness, her eyes now had a faint red light in them and with her red hairs make a unique attractiveness making lose my focus for a second.

But I stopped my wild thinking, quickly remembering I heard two voices and looked to the side and saw Sarah stating on a chair next to the bed staring at us, I wasn't sure why she was in our room but got quickly my answers as she got up and asked me if I was fine and explained to me what happened after I once again fainted due to heavy wounds and a huge loss of blood.

, her face full of blood of yesterday of whatever day we are now, was clean with new clean and intact clothes, a jean and a long-sleeve T-shirt no too big, but enough to expose her sexy body with wild hips and chest taking a last glance I became serious and tried to come out of my bed only to feel my body hatch like if after a hard session of work out of two or three hours every part of my body muscle hatching.

I could endure excruciating pain but I wasn't a masochist and instead sat down as I could feel my Natural regeneration Abilitie working but slowly as I looked at Lisa and Sarah both girls were clean with new clothes and seemed somewhat stronger as the Energy around them were different from before I pass out.

One with a wild a fierce energy around her and another with a cold one but it seemed none of them noticed the change.
