......................................Jack POV........................................

Finally I'm alone again, I think I tired myself out more in the last week than in the time I used to build the theme park, the life of a babysitter is not easy at all.

For the time being, I intend to sleep for twenty four hours straight, it seems to me that the last time I slept was months ago... wait, wasn't it? I mean, I know time stops inside my dimension, but is it possible that I need to sleep? This will require further investigations, for now... goodnight.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Yawn* I wonder for how much time I slept, but now I feel refreshed, nothing beats sleeping; I dread the day humanity in my old world will be able to avoid it by using science, probably a monster will be born. (note from the author: only people who know a certain doctor will get this reference ;))

Now, let's take a look of my overall skills, they changed a lot from the last time I've seen them: "show skills"

Ah, not bad at all... I think that from now on I'll keep the basic Stealth ability always activated, my recovery rates are high enough to completely negate the cost. 

Same thing with the Leach ability; every time I'll confront an enemy, immediately after the Assassinate skill, the leach skill will be launched in order to nullify the opponent recovery rate and deal some OT damage; at higher levels I'll probably be able to deal substantial damage with this skill.

Finally, the Elemental cloak skill will also be kept always active, though it will give me away in the beginning, I hope that there will be a way to make it less obvious that I have it activated all the time, still it's better safe than sorry, assassination attempts will be prevented with this.

Thanks to Magic science, all my spell will have reduced costs, for now it's only 10% but it will grow with time, I still have two new affinities that I have not touched.

Regarding the skills, I'll need to level them up the most, though I'm quite sure in my ability to pull that stunt with the stats, it's always better to have a B plan ready.

All the other skills will be used based on the necessity and the situation, untill now I had no choice, but it's better to not grow too confortable in a ghoul body, I have no intention to stay in this body, and if time is used in the mastery of this body, it will all be lost time.

For now I'll try to use some and magics along the road, hopefully I'll get their skill before the next circle, but for now: "Stealth, Magic cloak of fire, activate".

I needed to the skills because I'm not too familiar with them, this way the said skill will be activated without errors. It's like when you learn math, in the beginning you use your finger to keep count of what you're doing, but after you get good enough, everything is done without even having to think about it.

With this I finished all my preparations, let's depart for the 7th circle of Hell.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know this chapter is a little short, but the tab with the skills took me a good while and I can't save it, so I had to find a way to keep and modify it for the next time.
