Skill aqquired: Faint Feeling(1)(Passive)
What the hell? why did i earn 2 skills in my sleep?
As my "eyes opened", i saw a cute little woman with butterflywings resmebling a monarch butterflys. I was stunned at her emerald green hair and banana yellow dress. it wasnt that bad a combination of colors but her wings distracted me and garnered all of my attention. i could see her lips moving rapidly, as if she were extremely mad at something. when i looked around i realized i was tied to a tree for some reason. i looked to my left and saw a slightly larger man-fairie. he reminded me of a lumber jack with his scraggly beard and flannel shirt and khaki shorts. His wings were more like a birds wings with feathers all around, except they were golden yellow. it seemed he was talking to the woman-fae.
I suddenly made a realization. maybe i can learn skills from not just level ups but also from situations around me. maybe thats how i got [Faint Feeling] because the faes tried hitting me awake. I decided to activate [Lip Reading] and i could almost understand everything. it seemed as if everyone spoke one language, because [Lip Reading] didnt have any specific language. Thats nice, one less reason to discriminate, right?
"What the hell did you bring this...thing...here for Falise? You do know that its just a skeleton! This goes against our basic morals! This is sure to get us kicked out of the party, you dumbass!" the Fae-man seemed to say
"Huh. im the dumbass? have you even tried appraising him? he has a level! and stats! and even a class, albeit i dont know what it is." the Fae-woman named Falise said.
"I..i never though about that. Ill do it right now." "Oh my..he..he has a level! This is something unheard of outside of dungeons, adn even then they are all level 0!. where did you find him?" The Fae-man said
"Right behind this tree. i sensed a small amount of mana larger than a squirrels and decided to check it out. Maybe we can make him our slave or companion!" Falise said
As she said that i struggled and squirmed around trying to get out. i lip read the words slave and didnt like the sound of it. As i struggled, they turned towards me.
"Is he moving??" "it seems so" they said
"he must have some intelligence! i must imform the leader about this!" Falise Said
"No. you know how crazy our leader is. hed try to destroy this skeleton" The Fae-man said
"C'mon Efas, he isnt that crazy" Falise said
As they argued, i seemed to break one of the ropes tying me up. it all came loose and i hopped up. right then and there i tried to run away but felt a tiny fist Hurtle through the side of my skull. so much for 29 defense.
Skill aqquired: Slight Hearing(1)(Passive
Haa...What? Slight hearing from a hole in the skull? this is ridiculous!
It seems not only does situation give skills, but so does damage. Maybe one day i can become damage resistant? About 10 seconds after my thoughts on the skill, i turned around and swiping the air. i think i hit something but i cant really tell. right after that i heard a slight groan and saw a tiny splatter of blood and a tiny body fly towards a tree.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
""Leader"" Both of the Faes form from earlier yelled.
Who knew my strength was this high?

What are these Classes? they seem so strong. I guess ill go [Land skeletal]. i should check and allocate my skills and skills points later. right now i need to figure out what happened.
As i wake from my astonishment, i notice the two fae from earlier sobbing. I feel a strong sense of guilt and anger at my self for Killing the fae. The biggest question is..how did i kill their leader? i try signalling to the faes and they seemed to have noticed but ignored me. i walked towards them, but the way i walked made it seem like i was about to attack them. when i saw them with fear in their eyes i decide to sit down and ponder about what to do.
I could just kill them? but then my guilt will just stack up. How about trying to write? maybe thatll work.
I started writing in the dirt trying to communicate but they didnt seem to understand. as i thought, they dont speak english but since i never learned how to write in their language theres no way.
Maybe i could try to speak again? but how should i? ive got no tongue or vocal cords. I should just chatter my jaw and see if that works? although it might not, i did learn hearing from a hole in my skull.
As i sat there staring at the fae, i started chittering and chattering my jaw like i was eating the roughest steak ever. They seemed to want to run but their legs were shaking as if they were in the frozen tundra.
Skill Learned: Beginners Speech(1) (Passive)
what the hell. i find this ridiculous. whats next, turning into a dragon just because i attached some leaves to my back? whatever now to the next phase.
"Hi. I be...just call meh skellie" I said
Name Earned: skellie
"Me speak broken. excuse impoliteness. sowwy fer kill lead fae. didnt mean it. not all. please forgive? i no hurt" Although my speech was broken i think my message got across because they seemed to calm down.
"dont worry skellie, although you did kill our leader, it kinda was his own fault. he rushed in with little to no HP." Felise said. So thats why he died instantly
"plus we can always revive him, but it takes much of our mana and remains us to be focused. because we couldnt trust you we didnt want to try it. "
Wow. even that is possible?
"limitations to revive? aneh rools?" but as soon as i said that they replied
"im sorry but we cannot say. we must go for some seclusion right away. May we meet again Skellie." They took their leaders body and flew off.
Although i regret letting her leave, i guess it couldnt be helped. She did get me out of that hole anyways. now time to allocate my skill points. i decide to put 15 into INT just because i think itll help with hearing and speech and such. then the remaining 5 into defense.
