My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 34: The Legendary Dirt Skill! ...Or is it?

Frank glanced at the System Window, trying to find that it wasn't deceiving him somehow and that he didn't simply get a Skill named… 'Dirt'.

He glanced at his status again but it was there. The Skill named Dirt was there!

"What is this stupid trash Skill?" he thought, he could not help but think that!

No matter how fancy could a skill be if it is named 'Dirt', it should not be anything extraordinary, to begin with…

"No, wait, I am being way too hasty with my judgment of this Skill. I bet it is one of those Skills that sounds trashy but are in fact, a super game-breaking Skill! Just like in the Isekai Novels I have read… Like the guy with the Breathing Skill that was the 'God Breathing Technique' or the guy that could only inflict Negative Status Effects, but they were rather strong! And how not to forget the guy with the Transmutation Skill that became all edgy when he fell into a Labyrinth's depths and ended up even creating guns with the Skill…" he thought, glancing at the 'Dirt' Skill description.

[Dirt: Level 1/10]

Allows the user to create a handful of dirt, each use costs a small amount of Mana.

Cooldown: 1 second.

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

"…"

As much as Frank could wonder, think, and imagine, he could not think of any way that creating a handful of dirt could be of any use…

"I mean… Just think about it! You can fill a whole place with dirt… one handful at a time… and err… make a mountain of dirt after one day of hard work? Is the dirt even rich in mana or something? Maybe I can sell it!" said Frank, glancing at his palm as he activated the 'Dirt' Skill.

Flash!

He felt like he spent only one point of Mana, and a handful of dirt appeared on his palm.

"Woah, although this is so lame, the flashy effect was rather surprising… But I bet that there are Earth Attribute Mages that can create a wall made of rock instead of… a handful of dirt" thought Frank, inspecting the dirt.

It was no filled with mana. Although it was rather rich in minerals, it lacked any kind of special property, it was simple and common dirt.

Frank dropped the dirt into the ground as his hands trembled…

"This is frustrating, just after getting so many good rewards I get this… Haah. I guess luck cannot follow me everywhere, huh? I bet if I open this chest, I will get something like a needle…" thought Frank, deciding to cheer up by opening the Treasure chest.

"Thanks to these things, I got Ruby! So maybe I could get another Monster Pet? That would be awesome… But unlikely" said Frank, opening the chest as it suddenly began to glow in bright yellow colors, dissipating into small particles through the air.

An item was left behind, Frank glanced at it as his eyes were about to burst out of his sockets.

It was a needle. A simple needle, it was of silver color, but that was it, it was a needle, nonetheless.

"Are you fucking with me now, System?" he thought.

It was incredibly unlikely for him to think that he would get something as useless as a needle just after having thought about it… it was as if the System were putting a prank on him for getting too cocky with his new strength. And honestly, Frank thought that it was exactly the case.

Frank sighed as he glanced at the needle… He noticed a faint, blue-colored glow from within the needle, as he grabbed it with his fingers, it was rather thin, but not too small, perhaps if you were to stab someone with it, it might cause a relatively shocking amount of pain… or not, it depended if the person was a Magus or not.

Inspecting the new item, Frank glanced at its description.

[Silver Needle (C)]

A Special Needle said to have been made by a Goddess of Sewing.

It looks quite simple in appearance, but it grants the one that holds and equips it the ability to sew wonderfully even without any previous experience.

The path of sewing leads to other wonderful creation-oriented abilities, it is up to you to one day discover them.

Stat Bonuses: [+3 Speed]

Skill Bonuses: [Sewing: Level 1]

Special Effects: Sewing Proficiency Increase, Fast Speed Sewing, Fabric Enhancement.

"Wait… So I can… Oh. It is for sewing, I guess… The moment I held it, it felt as if I've always known how to sew… and even, do I feel a bit faster? Can I equip it permanently and simply hide it?" wondered Frank as he 'equipped' the needle into the left-hand square on his equipment tab that was for weapons. He instantly gained +3 speed inside brackets on his status, alongside the [Sewing: Level 1] Skill.

He thought that as long as he practiced sewing, he might be able to learn the Skill permanently.

"Sigh… Although it is not the amazing item I might have expected, it does have its uses… and if I keep developing this, would I be able to craft my own equipment? That would be very convenient… But I bet I will need too many materials to even get to craft anything…" thought Frank.

Frank began to think in which ways could he even sew something… He would first need some kind of fabric, and even then, he would have to plan out what to sew… A hat? A scarf? Could he sew a shirt? Or pants? Perhaps a blouse? He felt like he was somewhat capable of achieving such things, but he needed some good material…

"Maybe if I can get a good fabric, I could sew something like a set of clothes with a few stat bonuses… maybe? This Needle seems to give off the vibe to help me out in doing something like this…" thought Frank.

However, Frank was distracted by his intense fatigue, and decided to finally walk back home, entering stealthily into the house and into the second floor… everyone seemed to still be sleeping… however, a young Minotaur girl was standing right in front of Frank as he got into the second floor.

"Hilvera?" asked Frank in surprise.

"Muh… Frank? Hm… What were the strange lights outside?" she asked with a sleepy face.

"Ah… That's… Well, I was practicing magic. I often like to do this to get better at it… Don't tell Gwendolyn or she'll get mad at me for not sleeping…" said Frank.

"Oh… I see. Okay… I will not tell her…" said Hilvera.

"Haaah, good thing she is such a nice girl," thought Frank.

"But with one condition…" she said.

"Huh? What is it?" asked Frank.

"Can I practice magic with you?" she asked.

"Hm…? I guess… It is fine" said Frank.

"Nice… Now, can you move aside, I want to go to the potty…" asked Hilvera with still a sleepy face.

"Okay, go ahead…" said Frank as he went over to his bed.

"She surprised me with her cute personality, but she seems to be quite opportunistic… Well, training magic with her shouldn't be so bad of a thing…" thought Frank.

Frank put the blankets over his body, making sure to cover himself almost completely. He also put several cushions below the blankets… this was because he was about to leave Terra for an hour that would be one or two days on Earth, so he wanted to leave these cushions in the case that his body was to disappear when he went to another world.

He still was clueless if a body would stay in the world he left or not, and there was not any way of finding out that did not involve asking people. For now, he decided to leave these cushions just in case Of course, he also waited until Hilvera was back into her bed at her mother and brother's side, covering herself in blankets and going back to sleep.

"Now… let's go back…" thought Frank, as he took off his phone from his Inventory and went back to the World's Gate and then back to Earth.
