The days following, after the meeting with the two beings my familiarity with them increased by a large margin it is currently at 75%. Which is really high it seems they were being made fun of because they couldn't make a world with magic but worlds with much more advance technology way ahead than everyone else which they kept secret until this moment. It seems like the worlds we are going to are worlds created by the Great Elder. Ohh yeah they also told us that they are part of the race known as Primordials. It seems like primordials are beings greater than gods.
Anyways we finally used up our gifts. We thought that we had shared gifts but no we don't it's just that the choices we made were the same so it looked liked we had the same amount of gifts left. We got six more gifts left but had used up three more gifts picking the same things that would help us no matter what and those were this set of passive skills.
Mana AugmentationMana Augmentation is the ability to augment mana in the environment and beings both sentient or not and not to mention objects. The magic skill Enchant is the lower version of Mana Augmentation but is much easier to control. The higher the caster's understanding of mana the greater the effects and control.PerformanceThe combined ability of all the skills of both the Jester and Bard classes. Makes the abilities concerning entertainment and distraction stronger. Thought to be a useless skill by most, but those who have the job of performers covet this skill. As the user practices and come up with more entertaining performances the increases the chances of people believing your tales.SubterfugeA combined skill of the Hunter, Thief, Assassin and Merchant classes. Strengthens the user's abilities concerning deceit, evasion, intrigue, trickery, stratagem, manoeuvrability and much more. The most coveted skill that only grandmaster classed personnel have. As the user gets a better understanding and practice of the skill, it will increase the user's options.[/b]
They sound strong right well they are considering they cost 1 gift each so that leaves the last three gifts. Well when we received this three skill we immediately tried them meaning we just practiced for the rest of the time. Hell we even did a play for the Grand Elder and our sponsors, in which the sponsors got in trouble it was funny. Ohh yeah grand elder doesn't look old rather he looks like someone from his early thirties.
(Grand Elder)

Grand Elder: It was a fascinating performances children but it felt as if this is your first time performing in front of an audience.
9: To be honest Grand Elder we had just acquired this abilities three days ago and in which we have split the practice for this and our other two new abilities which is harder to understand and use than magic.
Grand Elder: So you are informing me that you have acquired three skill on your second day here.
At which he glared at the Sponsors.
A: Umm we can explain.
N: Ahh right right. (nodding his head really fast)
They acted as if they were children who were caught red handed taking a cookie out of the cookie jar before dinner.
Grand Elder: Ok then explain to me how this beings acquired skills. Did you not promise in front of me that you will and cannot interfere with the mortals.
A clear aura of rage can be seen being emitted from his body and then I interrupted and in which I received his scary as feckin stare. I almost peed myself, and I had fought over millions of people, risked my life for more than a thousand times but this was the first time I felt scared.
9: Umm to be xact they...... they gave us th ..... this ski ..... skills in exchange for gifts.
A sign of gratitude was given to me by both A&N. When I finished explaining why they interfered the Grand Elder gave a nod of understanding, in which resulted a sigh of relief by everyone present excluding the Grand Elder. Note to self don't piss off the Grand Elder. Then he began speaking again which got everybody stiff.
Grand Elder: Is true A***** N***.
they answered with several nods. Which caused the Grand Elder just sighed defeatedly.
Grand Elder: Very well. It was agreed upon that every being chosen will have twelve gifts bestowed on them and maybe a one extra but is the limit.
Sponsors (A&N): Thank you Grand Elder. So Grand Elder might we ask why you have given us a visit.
Grand Elder: Ahh yes The reason why I came here is because I got a report saying that both of you were cheating by joining forces.
N: Umm Grand Elder. It was not stated that we could not be working together.
A: And I'm sure that the others are also working together.
Grand Elder: Hmm If I remember correctly, there wasn't a rule of working together. So those children lied to me then. Interesting so they think I'm a fool huh I'll show them who is the fool.
6: Umm we have an Idea for doing that Grand Elder if you don't mind us interrupting and getting involved with your own matters but we all feel that they will do something underhanded again. So would You like to listen to our plan.
We Twelve Phantoms All gave a sly and creepy grin. In which all the Primordials also returned the smile.
Grand Elder: I'm listening.
7: Hahaha thats good the plan is quite simple. We get them to kill each other.
Grand Elder: Kill each other?
Giving Seven a questioning look while answering.
8: What he means is that get each of their chosen to kill each other.
Giving a nod to show he understood and showing an intrigued look before saying.
Grand Elder: And how will we achieve that.
2: Easy their chosen might or might not know each other. Meaning they won't be easily too trusting on their so called companions.
11: And with our guess considering on what we have heard about them from our sponsors. They have more than seventy-two people each right.
A look of shock can be briefly seen the Grand Elder's face before becoming more serious.
Grand Elder: H...... How did you know?
5: Easy we have met a lot of people like them in our previous world. Hell thats what we usually faced with when people who have too much pride and are all was overestimating themselves who can only depend on numbers instead of skills. We know that there is power in numbers but that might always work, if you only depend on numbers than your own abilities won't be good enough if you're alone by yourself.
Now look of awe can be seen on the Grand Elder's face. How many times has he changed facial expressions.
Grand Elder: Ohh wise words for someone who hasn't even reached the age of one hundred. I would have never had guessed that you twelve has experienced that before, so look can be deceiving. You twelve still haven't told us your plan.
12: Umm before we say anything else can you dismiss the people at the door that have been eaves dropping at our conversation.
The Grand Elder nods and teleports at the door and opens it several other primordials tried to run away but were caught by the Grand Elder. Tear and Fear Stricken faces can be seen on their faces while A&N have been trying to hold their laughter in causing their faces to turn red.
It took about twenty to thirty minutes before the drama stopped. Then the Grand Elder told every Sponsors to bring out their chosens. During that that time of thirty minutes we disappeared to prevent the other sponsors the know what we looked like meaning our body structure and measurements. We arrived in front of the Grand Elder with our Sponsors A&N. WE wore robes that hides our body structure. WE wore several layers of clothing and a mask.

It's shocked everybody except the Grand Elder and our Sponsors.
We received several looks from fear to despair from arousal to anger are the common ones we got from the chosens but looks of shock and intrigue were prevalent while there were looks of disgust by the group of six that was eavesdropping being emitted to us and our sponsors.
Grand Elder: As of now it has been five days since you have acquired your chosens so it is time to hand in your reports on how many of them you have and G**, B****,F*****, D******, L**** and finally P*** so you have accused A&N for cheating by competing in a group of two while you six are also competing in a group and you think I would forget a statement during a bet as big as this. For trying to accuse someone else something you yourselves are doing and for that you will have to give a gift from each of you that you would have bestowed to your chosen meaning your chosens will only be given eleven gifts and if you don't comply (in a kind smile that you know you messed up said) I WILL PERSONALLY DESTROY YOU AND YOUR CREATIONS. Now then if anybody is found cheating they will have a more severe punishment awaiting for them. So then that is all dismiss.

The looks of the EavesDroppers were nasty and I mean shit ass nasty. Then they just waved their hands and we all acquire six more gifts each nice.
----------------------------------------
Two days after that event we had used up the six extra gifts for crafting skills with equipment. We got the same of course, the reason being is that we had to be able to rely on our own individual needs because we won't always be together so yeah three for the equipment and three for the corresponding skills which combined and turned into a more powerful skill called Crafts.
CraftsThe Combined skill of all crafting classes. This skill is the pinnacle of crafting skills, it has many variations but not is a powerfull as this ability, for this ability allows you to use the skills used in any crafting professions. The more the user understands about the profession, materials and techniques the better the outcome of crafting. The more the user practices and experiments the better the quality and the more detailed the result would be.
The tools also merged into one item known as the Crafter's Belt. The thing is they were in array of colors but the buckle stayed the same i mean color wise the thing is we had different designs on it but still had a gem in the middle.
^Sry can't draw the designs they are basically something to do with their classes so can't say i sry^

Crafter's BeltThe Crafter's Belt is a long forgotten equipment that has the ability to increase in ability as the user's crafting knowledge and experience increases. Designs can be saved in it. Provides the owner with beginner designs to practice on and to improve. Materials can be put inside of it to repair the tools and to prevent them from breaking. Crafting materials can be put inside of it instead of the inventory. Soul and blood bound to Nine
It was worth it. Anyways we practiced a hell of a lot we would be doing several tests at the same time on different materials and recording them. we had also read through so many back concerning smithing, wood carving, alchemy, harvesting, skinning, mining, chopping trees, farming, cooking, preparing the materials and much more. We didn't need to sleep but we still needed to eat and do the normal stuff. We also started to make stuff piece by piece. We didn't make whole piece but instead we mixed and matched them some worked and some didn't if the didn't we would try to re-use the materials for something else for example a failed shield that I was making was used to modify a pair of daggers.
The way I did that was by first dismantling the shield and to smelt the metals again but for the base i cut that in half horizontally, I cut more of it and designed to be more of an oval shapes afterwards I dismantled the daggers and put them with the handle oval shape wooden supports. I got the molten metal and form it into ingots. I got ten ingots from it, I then started to heat one of the ingots and started to shape it in scales I got five of it per ingot I did the same for another seven ingots. I then started made holes on them and had reinforced tungsten thread past through them. I connected the daggers' blades the top off the handle of the shield. The scales were then covering the wood of the handle while the daggers' former handles were cut in half vertically to be used to reinforce the handle of the now modified dagger but I wasn't finished with the two remaining ingots I used them to reinforce the point where the handle and blade connects. With that I should be finished but I wasn't satisfied so I got more materials to be exact six ingots of adamantium with the weight of 24 troys each, afterwards two pieces of a wood called Magma wood and finally some leather from different beast.
I first carved the two pieces magma wood into two sets of wings.

Afterwards I covered the pair of wings in leather in the feather form. I then I started to melt the adamantium and shaping them into hollowed tiger fangs and then inserted the daggers in side of it making it look more like a short sword than a dagger.
Afterwards I just did a little bit more tweaking like polishing and some stuff like that. The Stats are really good here it is. I call it Winged Tiger's Fangs.
Winged Tiger's FangsA hybrid between a large dagger and a shortsword because of it's weird design it has many functions one of which is that the blade is shaped to resemble to look like the fangs of a tiger to allow the blade inside of it to be released when the outer blade is stuck. Another function of the design is that it has a covered handguard that resembles a winged shaped buckler on the handle. Crafted by a master weaponsmith of unknown origin.
Ohh yeah it seems like the eavesdroppers are out to get our sponsors and us which is against the rules but they don't care.
Anyways two more days until we depart. So we stocked up on materials and ingredients before that day comes.
----------------------------------------
One day left before we depart so we decided to use up our last remaining gifts and we still got the same things because it would increase our survivability and those are more class slots costing us two gifts and we got a special deal from the Grand Elder for showing him that we were actually preparing unlike most of the other groups.
Ohh yeah I forgot to mention Grand Elder visits every sponsors and their chosen anytime it's random but we get checked everyday. He told us that there were only two groups including us who were preparing and training so in exchange of two gifts he will give us the ability to have twelve classes, he also told us that the other team only used one gift each and kept the rest for something else. So we used our last gift to get the skill we always read on most rpg reincarnation novels the skill known as Identify but what we got was something else.
[tr]
Eyes Of True SightThis skill is the most coveted by all beings sentient or not. Even the Gods would take this from you by force. The Eye Of True Sight lets the user to see both the seen and the unseen, the eyes can also see through to the individual's real intent as such it gives of an odd feeling to the target use with extreme caution. More information of objects and beings will be shown to the user. With experience and understanding of how to use it increases control and strengthens it.
After receiving the ability we used it till we passed out, we woke up three hours later with banging headache just like a really bad hangover and your neighbours are playing the most noisiest music every a mixture of heavy metal, Rock and much more at the sametime, thank god they had the most amazing medical technology I have ever seen, well considering that I only lived in one world where technology was mainly focused on destroying each other but there were advances as well but they fell way behind to technology of how to kill each other.
Anyways we still continued but with more of a purpose to instead of just checking random stuff. We did check each other tho but for some reason we all emitted an aura of balance meaning a fecking raindow we were a fecking rainbow but instead of seven colours we were a rainbow with twelve colours.
^I'm sorry but it is just too much trouble to differentiate colour that looks so similar. Sorry also I won't be showing the others stats because that would be boring because they mostly have the same stats and skills well except for some things like which group were part of. they're split into Warrior, Thief and Mage stats but that doesn't mean they are warriors thieves or mages they just have some stats higher than other stats. Trust me its confusing even for me.^
Our stats on increased by like fifty points each but that isn't anything to be proud of because if we start to get big headed then we will just get weaker and weaker until the others surpass us, so we made a game that instead of focusing to outdo each other we would focus on helping each other, we already split it up into crafters, gatherers, traders. They explain themselves, I'm part of the crafters with 7,8 and 10, the gatherers are 3, 4, 5 and 6, the trader are 1,2 11 and 12.
Thats good and we also divide them differently for example I would be making weapons, 8 would be making the armour, 7 will be making the potions and finally 10 is making miscellaneous to be sold but we all I mean we all have to craft the accessories together because it takes such minute detailing for an accessory to look good. Anyways thats all for today so Finally tomorrow is the day we depart.
