Feeling great at prospect of the future I allowed myself to fall asleep.
I was standing in a clearing of a forest with one of my telescope observing the night sky for its beauty .
The calm hazy dream come to an end when I gained clarity. Feeling strange how aware I was I began to inspect my dream. My first impression of the forest was that it like the real ones I visited, the only indication this was a dream is the night sky covered in all star and constellation I ever seen and learned about.
“I can speak again. ” “” I began to streech my body for the almost forgotten sensation. I did all kinds of exercises and when I was satisfied I went back to observe my dream. Some things was slightly unfocused, mostly flowers and smaller plants since I never learned about them extensively it didn't seem strange I can't imagine them properly in my dream.
The serenity of the forest was disturbed by nioses of bones, flesh, and fluid clattering together like a broken sonata.
“The fuck is that?! ” Looking over the clearing, behind the trees stood something straight out of a horror story, smal shivered humanoid legs covered in something similar to sever water that seemed to have life of its own, abbove the legs was a big pile of crushed bones and flesh oozing out pus with its three tail like appendages.
I recoiled in shock just from looking at the thing.
Feeling utterly disgusting just after a few seconds I throw up, or at I least tried because this place seemed to be really dream. Calming down I noticed the monstrosity didn't seemed capable of entering the clearing.
“ What going on? Why am I so lucid? This is definitely not normal. Is that real or just my mind coming up with it? System? ”

So I can access the system in my dreams now? Trying not taking my eyes of the monster I readt my new Paths but the system didn't give information about any of them.
“This is not making any sense, is eleven luck really that few? I need to increase it somehow or I'm guaranteed to die before I can reborn. ”
Path points : 49
I began to think what skills could give me the most skill point within the shortest amount of time, maybe one of the paths can give me super powers or knowledge how to say fuck of to that thing.
“I know very well meteorology, geology, oceanography, and astronomy. Quite useless since the skills only seemed to level up when I use said skill in question, how should I use astronomy and others without a pen or computer?”
Remembering that skills make me almost superhuman in them at level twenty it didn't seemed completely hopeless .
Looking at the monster I realized that I don't have much of a choice and maybe I can have a little fun with becoming literary a living calculator.
I grinnined at the thought of improving myself after years of stagnation.
After interacting with the system I understood it worked on intention, if I wanted an art skill it would show art skills be it music instruments or drawing skills. I bringed up the shop in my mind and first bought meteorology next astronomy, geology, oceanography and mathematics in this order.
I instantly felt it's effects, looking at the forest I remembered tens of facts about the trees, be it their leaves or their names they came to me like I studied them for days. The stars in the sky became clearer with each minute passing, little forgotten memories came back to me, my memories of childhood of stargazing, my old self being annoyed at everything related to physics and chemistry, me finally graduation after thousands of hours of reading, long nights spent calculating if I really discovered a new moon with concluding that it was another false alarm. Once I finally bought mathematics it was like a damm broke, seemingly unrelated memories that had nothing to with math become clearer almost akin to pictures.
“I hope the system skills work like magic instead of reading my mind constantly. ” feeling not slightly paranoid at the thought of something constantly messing with my mind I looked over my skills.

Immediately after the notification I feelt slightly better, like very little but it was somewhat noticeable.
“Not omnius at all system not at all haha. Where is my plasma cannon or death gaze? What I'm supposed to do with wisdom? Solve puzzles? At least that thing didn't seem that dangerous, it can't even enter the clearing ”
