Full Dive: Eternal Phantasy

Chapter 2: Unique Hidden Skills

As the words Loading disappeared from Misaki's eyes. She found herself in a white room with a strange machine sitting in the middle. It was rather tall, with many screens, and had a space big enough for a person to stand in. Standing next to the Machine was a small beautiful girl with a pair of wings coming out of her back. The small beautiful girl looked at Misaki and smiled.

"Hello! I am your, AI operator. You can call me Ai. I will be assisting you throughout the tutorial. If you have any questions feel free to ask me. First off I would like to ask you how long of a timer would you like to set? This timer will be used to wake you up from your dream state. This way you can eat and get some exercise in between play sessions. The max allotted time is eight hours per session. This is to ensure no player is playing for too long without eating and exercising. After which there is a two hour downtime before you are able to play again." Ai explained.

"Eight hours is fine. I have already eaten and have done all my homework." Misaki felt that having such a feature was very convenient since she would only be playing at night. This meant she would actually get some sleep at night! "I do have a question, If I play for say a few hours and then log off for two hours will my timer reset?"

"Yes. Any time you log off for more than two hours your timer will always be reset." Hearing this made Misaki happy. This means she could come home do her homework and then play for an hour or two before making dinner and bathing. Then she could go back to playing when she was done!

Misaki was very excited now. Normally she would have to drink a lot of Ded Bull in order to stay awake all night to play games. Now she can sleep all she wants! "If only I could play during class too..." Misaki muttered to herself.

"Now please step into the CC Machine." Ai said motioning with her hands for Misaki to step into the machine in the middle of the room.

"CC Machine?" Misaki asked.

"Character Creation Machine. CC Machine for short" Ai answered.

Misaki nodded her head and walked into the machine. As soon as she did many holographic windows popped up in front of her. Each one did different things. Some were just slider windows to allow you to customize your character from scratch. Another one was called a race mixer which allowed you to take your own appearance and then mix it with another race.

Misaki was intrigued by the race mixer because she had never seen such a setting in other games. After pressing on the holographic screen for the race mixer the normal character slider system moved to the side and the race mixer screen moved to the front. There were many races in Eternal Phantasy. Human, Beastkin, Dragonkin, Elves, Dwarfs, Fae, Demon, Vampire, Orcs, Dryads, Nymphs, Ogres, and many more. The list was overwhelming. Just the Beastkin alone had many subraces to choose from. Using her body as the base, Misaki started mixing and matching different races into her appearance. After almost three hours of in game time, Misaki ended up with a mix of Demon, Fae, Dragonkin, Elf, and Vampire. She ended up using the max of five races for her mix but just this result alone made Misaki satisfied. In the end, she ended up with an appearance that could be said to be very cute. Well, this was in Misaki's opinion anyway. She quickly hit accept to accept her input.

*Ding*

[New Race Discovered! Demon Lord]

*Ding*

[Unique Hidden Skill Found!]

[Because you have discovered a new race by mixing Demon, Dragonkin, Fae, Elf, and Vampire together. You have been granted a Unique Passive Skill Demon Lord's Creator. +5% bonus to all stats]

*Ding*

[Unique Hidden Skill Found!]

[Because you mixed Demon, Dragonkin, Fae, Elf, and Vampire together for the first time, in Eternal Phantasy history. You will be granted a one of a kind unique passive skill Demon Lord's Racial. All race stats will increase by 1% each level.]

Misaki's eyes widen! Two hidden skills! First added 5% to all stats! While the other added 1%per level to all stats! 1% might not seem like a large number but there were no level caps in Eternal Phantasy. Meaning at level one hundred she would have one hundred percent more! At level one thousand it would be one thousand percent more! Misaki's eyes started to turn greedy as she continued to do math in her head. "Isn't this kind of nuts? "

Seeing these added bonuses made Misaki grin. She had a cute looking character and decent stat bonuses! What more could a new player ask for!

She had found the special traits she got from each race was well worth it as well. With mixing races into your own body, you gain a percentage of the race's race traits. This allowed for higher customizability but could also weaken your character in the end as well. It really depends on your play style. Although it is only a few percent of the actual full bonus you would get from using just a single race. The bonus Misaki got from these five races was not bad for what she wanted to do. She wanted to be a magic swordsman. Demon and Dragonkin gave her a six percent boost to her attack and defense. Fae and Elf gave a five percent bonus to magic defense and magic attack. Vampire gave [Vampire Sustenance] passive skill which gave three percent life steal on attack and three percent bonus to agility.

"Ai, What does Unique Hidden Skill mean?" Misaki was not sure if this meant she was the only one with this passive or were their others who could also get such a thing.

"Unique Hidden Skills are on a per-player basis. So if you have gained such a skill you are the only person in all of Eternal Phantasy to have this skill. This does not mean that there are not similar skills out there though." Ai explained.

"I see. Thank you, Ai." Misaki was quite happy hearing this. Even though there might be similar skills. This skill alone was truly hers and Demon Lord's Racial was a cool sounding name.

Misaki's lips curled up into an arch as she went to the next set of screens.

[Please Enter Player Name]

Misaki hated coming up with names. She might be a genius in some aspects but when it came to coming up with names. She was always very bad at it. Not even thinking about what to call herself, Misaki used the virtual keyboard in front of her and keyed in: "Mi-sa-ki". Once she hit accept another set of screens popped up in front of her.

"Set base stats. I get twenty points to use. Let's see. My current stats are..."

"Hmm I will wait before allocating my [Status Points] until I get ingame. I want to add my [Status Points] based on my playstyle. Any points wasted no matter what level will be a loss of potential later on..." Misaki muttered to herself as she hit the accept button.
