04 - Skill Test

Having received so many new skills and a brief explanation of their use, it's time to test them to see how effective they are.

The System activates itself by sensing Rock's intention to test his skills, giving him the direct means of activating them: thinking of the skill name.

In fact, once the skills are recognized by the system, all you have to do is mentally think of the name of the skill to activate it. Because it's the system that takes care of activating the skill.

After a certain level of comprehension we can do it without the System and from this moment it will mean that we begin to understand the skill better.

There are two ways in which a skill can stop working:

The first condition is that the person using the skill decides to stop it on their own, in which case they may suffer a backlash depending on the skill's difficulty. The second condition is that the person activating the skill no longer has the strength to make it work, and it will stop on its own.

For the skill to improve, you need to develop your own knowledge and launch it a good number of times.

Rock listened carefully to the system's advice.

[The skill Magical Perception have been acquired] 1 mana will be consumed for a duration of 5 minutes

[The skill Magical Perception is activated]

As soon as this skill was activated, the Rocher marveled. He discovered a new vision.

He carefully looked around him in wonder. For the things around him began to take on color. He who had seen nothing but darkness since he had awakened his consciousness long before the system arrived. He now saw the world in different shades of blue, from light blue to dark blue.

He was able to distinguish new objects, each with different shapes that were new to him.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

As he spun around, different bluish shapes appeared.

----

All these new discoveries amaze him more and more. And he marvels at what he can still discover.

Suddenly, after a few minutes' observation, he felt something oppressive. It was as if his body became heavier and heavier, making his thinking unstable.

Making him alert and fearful.

The system itself connected to this pebble spoke.

--

As a result of using the "Magic Perception" skill for some time, your energy is depleted, forcibly stopping the skill being used

A period of rest is required to replenish energy reserves.

After listening to the system's words, he tested the remaining skills after taking a short break. While using the "Magic Sens" skill, he felt something happen.

He felt the coolness and hardness of the ground. From what looks like his head, a sort of blue ball emerges, representing the equivalent of eyes as well as ears and nostrils.

Through his eyes, he sees the world around him and, above all, the darkness beside him.

Time seems to slow down as he hears only the sound of the wind in this cave. He also smells the earth, which he appreciates for its sweet yet powerful scent.

The "Magic Sense" skill enabled him to acquire senses specific to living beings, such as hearing, taste, smell, touch and sight, in exchange for energy. As senses consume a lot of energy, Rock was only able to test this skill in a short space of time.

While using the [Magic Absorption] skill, he felt his body fill up with a bit of energy. The previous fatigue associated with using energy to test his skills began to diminish.

Caution! Caution! Accumulated energy becomes too much. It is advisable to circulate the mana before it permanently damages the host.

Mana circulates in the stone body.

From the darkness within the cavern, we can see a stone with strange light-blue gleams crossing its surface.

--

Alert / A danger has been detected

The mana will be redirected

Cracking, cracking

As the flood of energy built up in Rock. The system began to gather the excess energy into a single point to evacuate it, cracking the places where this mysterious energy was making its way.

ZZZZZZZzz

A few centimetres ahead of him, a ball of light condensed and sped away. This small ray of concentrated energy was emitted and, with a loud bang, exploded in the wall.

After this action, the energy beam "Rock" fell into a kind of sleep after expending a large amount of energy.

"Rock" could only hear the mechanical voice of the system before falling asleep.
