Chapter 1129 Alchemical Forgemaster
Chapter 1129 Alchemical Forgemaster
-----
With both my Physique and my Magic Circle receiving a nice boost to their strength thanks to my Subclass, I also noticed my soul growing larger, even if slightly. I think this must be because Class and Subclasses are related with the Soul itself. They're imbued into the Soul, and I've noticed this same growth with all my friends as they Ranked Up their Classes.
The same happens to Spirits when they do, but you can see it even more obviously because they're beings made of their own Soul, so you can see them grow larger and evolve. Unlike people who you can't usually see their souls directly.
And well, as I concentrated in that area of my soul, another message popped up. I was right, it did strengthen my soul a little bit!
Ding!
[Your Soul has grown slightly larger and stronger.]
[Your [Psyche]: [Tier 2: Rank 1: God Devouring Abyssal Soul Psyche] has increased to Tier 2: Rank 2!]
Though, now that I think about it, I might also owe this tiny growth to my "Divine Ring of Sunlight and Holy Fire", ability, which keeps on spinning and feeding me with more Essence for my cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.
"Phew, with this done… Oh right, a new Skill."
I looked at the new Skill I acquired, it was simple, like Gardening.

[Forge: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/5000
A Skill granted to Blacksmith to forge materials together. It is possible to smelt all kinds of ores into different shapes and forms, and then forge them into proper pieces of equipment through this Skill's assistance. The more you use this Skill, the more proficient you will become when it comes to forging and smithing.
Although a simplistic technique among Blacksmiths, when applied using magic and in combination with other effects, it can become incredibly useful and flexible.
Passive Effect (1): While Smelting and Forging Ores into Ingots, and when Forging Materials into Items, increases Dexterity, Movement Speed, Focus, and Stamina and Mana Regeneration by +20%.
Active Effect (1): When creating items through Forging, you are allowed to choose which Traits you want them to inherit through the available Traits slots. There's a 10% chance for these Traits to evolve into higher tiered Traits, netting stronger resulting equipment.
Level Bonus (1): Makes any item you create 30% Tougher, More Pristine, and of Higher Quality.

Yikes, it is SO simple! Can't I already do all of this stuff on my own anyways? And even more easily through Alchemy! But I guess it does have some merits. If I can just stack the effects and abilities together, I could definitely get something better than just the basic effects, right? Well, I'm hoping for that.
"Looks like the new Skill has some great synergy with your Subclass Ability." Alice suddenly noticed. "I am well aware it has a boring name, but believe me when I say this, it'll be useful!"
"Okay, okay~" I shrugged. "I wasn't saying anything…"
"I could tell by just looking at your face, dear." Alice giggled.
Anyways, moving on, there were other items that required immediate attention. Namely Sphynxiette's Skill Scroll! This'll definitely give me a cooler Skill than just boring "Forge", and I can bet my life that it will be strong.
I took out the scroll and while sitting beneath the shadow of a palm while looking at Aquarina bring a big bag of clams, shrimp, and fish for today's lunch, I absorbed the scroll.
Ding!
[You have absorbed the [Sphynxiette's Skill Scroll (S Grade)] x1!]
[Please choose one of the Options]:
[Option 1]: [Golden Metal Blood]
[Option 2]: [Divine Metallic Skeleton]
[Option 3]: [Star-Soaring Wings]
W-What the fuck? All three of these Skills sound absolutely wicked! Insane even! What do you mean I can have Orichalcum Blood?! And I even get their metallic skeleton just like that?! And above all, wings that can help me soar the stars?
Anything I pick will make me tremendously strong, but what should I pick to begin with? Somehow, I am slightly afraid. I was hoping for something strong, but isn't this too excessive?
What will even happen to my body if I suddenly get Orichalcum as blood, will I still be even able to move? And a super heavy metallic skeleton could also make things very hard!
The wings seem the most harmless… Unless they appear in my back permanently, then it becomes something that could only bring attention and trouble.
I need to ask Alice about these ASAP before making any decision!
"Hahah, are you scared of these skills?" She noticed my face already. "Don't worry, Sylphy. The System won't simply give you a skill that can transform your entire being out of nowhere. Even with the Dragon Heart Skill, it was a gradual process that took years. And it still growing. The same goes for these Skills."
"I-Is that so? How so?" I wondered, as I saw Aquarina sit down at my side. She looked gorgeous wearing her white bikini, her glossy brown, toasty skin and her long silvery-white hair… she was my goddess in the flesh. "Ah, hi, you caught a lot of stuff!"
"Yep, I'm a bit tired now so I'm going to sit here and enjoy the sunlight." She rested right at my side over another wooden chair, crossing her legs sexily. "Hahh… That was a nice dip! Why didn't you join me?"
"I'm busy dealing with stuff… Ahh, if you were to ever see what I'm seeing you would also be as shocked and paralyzed as I am right now." I sighed.
"W-What? What's going on? Alice, what are you making Sylphy do now?" Aquarina raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing! She just has three important choices right now." Alice giggled. "Now, Sylphy. Let me explain to you what I meant by before. You may not be able to see the skill descriptions right now. But bear in mind they're similar to… Let's say Cultivation Techniques, specifically Physique Cultivation Techniques."
"So it means they grow over time and slowly modify my physique and make it stronger?" I wondered.
"Yes! That's right." Alice nodded. "They're made so over time, your body will transform and change, but in a way you'll be able to control and get used to."
"I see! Well that clears thing up a bit more." I nodded. "Now, what the hell do I pick?"
