Hmm, might as well use the other things before going out.

[Class Skill level up points (2) are being used on Graveyard of the righteous and Blessing of the Deep, are you sure?]

[Class Skill level up point * 2 have been used]

[Graveyard of the righteous] reached level 100

[Blessing of the Deep] reached level 100

That leaves me with only three skills that can receive the last point [Holy Skeleton] is almost at 100 and [Heal Undead] will level up on its own, its strong enough already either way. Could use the point on [Summon Blood] I suppose but that really feels wasteful Ill keep it for later. Who knows. In case of emergency.

And finally the active skill specialization point.

Active Skills (6 / 6)

• [Holy Skeleton] - Level 93(Lv. 99)
• [Heal Undead] - Level 56
• [Summon Blood] - Level 17
• [Angels bolt] - Level 100
• [Maiden Banshee] - Level 100 (Lv.99)
• [Graveyard of the righteous] - Level 100

It would be interesting to use it on Aliths skill but I dont think shed appreciate that. Havent tried my new skill yet but I dont feel like its good enough to become my specialty. This has to be the reward for downing Orvod, cant waste it. Maybe Im overthinking this

Can I get more detail on specialization?

A new system message appeared.

No way I actually can? Hey, that's an identify window isnt it?

[Skill specialization point (Active)] : This reward for an exceptional trial performance is not to be used lightly. Use it to permanently imprint a known active skill in your spiritual body, allowing you to eventually unlock its full potential. The chosen specialization will influence all future skill acquisitions and development.

Item level : -1. Grade : Virtual

Restriction : user must be Sofia Aphenoreth. Soulbound. Active skill only. Single use.

Hmm Pareth or angel bolt then. Or I could wait. Sofia thought back to her fight with Orvod, Specialized in stone cubes I would guess. Theres probably big benefits in getting a specialization early, or it wouldnt be that hard toget.

Using it on [Angels bolt] is really tempting but I need to go with Pareth. As far as I can tell from the trial, all thats in store for this skill is more and more destructive power I dont want all my skills to be like that, summoning cool skeletons to fight for me on the other hand Thinking like this, she remembered about the armies of undead she imagined she would eventually control back at the orphanage, now was the time to make these dreams a reality!

I missed the real necromancer class once. Not twice!

[Skill understanding sufficient. Skill specialization point (Active) has been used]

[As part of the imprinting, skill has been leveled up to 100, please select a skill path, you may enter a cumulative one level debt to be offered new paths (previously unlocked paths may still be selected)]

[Path of the Destroyer :

• Has killed three or more bystanders in a single blow by accident.

• Has destroyed itself.

Description : You destroy like you breathe, and all under your command shall destroy too. The skeleton on the path of the destroyer knows little else than hitting things with his fists, but he does it extremely well, nothing shall stand in its way.]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : none)]

Debt thats not something I expected right now

Sofia walked circles around the table debating with herself.

It has so many requirements, it cant be bad.

But also its too attack oriented.

One level to get a new one is quite expensive though

Well, no choice but to go until I get something really good. Better to have a huge debt than a bad specialization. Debt is temporary.

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

[Path of the Lich :

• Has revived once.

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 1 level)]

Interesting but also weird. Pareth is already technically unkillable And its still very much attack oriented. Next

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 3 levels)]

Woah calm down buddy, these unlocking requirements are way too impressive Ill take the compliment, but I dont need glasses. That wasnt worth a full level either! Sofia said out loud as if waiting for an answer. She was starting to really feel the sting. Her hands clenched on the table, she asked again for a new path.

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

[Path of the Bone Lord :

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 4 levels)]

This is what I get for complaining about the requirements being too weak isnt it This Only a crazy person would pick this. It sounds dumb as hell. Your mom wants to be the skeleton! Give me back my levels!

Thinking back at how long every level from 90 to 99 had taken to get, Sofia was starting to really regret not taking Destroyer. But she was already too deep to stop before getting something really good. Surely. Surely the next one! She had trouble containing her shaking as she read through the next path.

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

[Path of the Little Sister :

• Knows how to take care of children.

• Isnt a very good cook.
• Is female.

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 5 levels)]

This has to be a joke.

Slouching lower and lower on her chair, she kept asking for new paths, lifeless and defeated. Everything looked weak compared to Destroyer. Some of the choices even had her roll her eyes.

[Path of the Banker : ...]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 6 levels)]

[Path of the Scourge of Stones : ...]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 7 levels)]

[Path of the Sandworm : ...]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 8 levels)]

[Path of the Eclipse : ]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 9 levels)]

Sofia was about to reflexively spend a level again, but her expression changed as she glossed over the requirements for the Eclipse. She straightened up in her chair.

[Path of the Eclipse :

Unlocking requirements :

• Has encountered extra-systemic beings.
• Has expanded the systemic range.
• Is acknowledged by a moderator.
• Hosts a tier 1 scribe or higher.

Description : How a small moon can hide a giant. The Eclipse skeleton wields holy light as a weapon and armor, fitted with a diverse array of utility and defensive spells, nothing will get past him. Those reaching for the Sun will find themselves ensnared in the Eclipses shadow.]

Sofia read this last paths window multiple times, she had many questions, but also one certainty, be it the difficulty of the requirements or the power she could expect while reading the description, it was on another level compared to everything else until now. A sound only Sofia could hear resounded.

Ding

[Congratulations, you have unlocked the specialized skill : Eclipse Skeleton!]

First relayed by the group of hunters who had been passing through the mountain, a new folk tale took shape. It was a story of a madly laughing golden shadow, flying over and through the giant pine trees at breakneck speed, loudly crashing into the trunks and scaring even the toughest Runebears into hiding.

The hunters never took this path again.
