[ Remaining skill points: 23 ]

" its upgrade time then?! ", Adam utters excitedly

Since he had confirmed that he gained 13 skill points for every major breakthrough, he didn't hesitate anymore and forthwith spend his skill points!

For upgrading a skill to level 1, it requires 1 skill point...

Likewise, to upgrade to level 2 requires 2 skill points...

Three to level three, and so on...

Hence, Adam had to choose thoroughly which skill to upgrade first...

Soon, he immediately called for his skill list...

[ Skill: Absolute ( SSS-Grade )

Description: A skill book containing 10 skills with different requirements needed to unlock

Skill #1: ' ??? ' Summon (Active)

Description: An absolute ??? will appear upon activation, the size of ??? is directly proportional to Chosen's mana. Also, the ??? durability, attack power, defensive power, etc. varies depending on the amount of mana supplied.

Skill #2: Shape-shifter (Passive)

Description: A skill that allows the user to change the form of '???' at will

Skill #3: '???' Division (Passive)

Description: A skill that allows the user to divide the '???' at the desired size or amount at will.

Skill #4: Monster- Duplicator (Active)

Description: A skill that allows the Chosen to duplicate any kind of monster.

....

..

Skill #10: needed 1 trillion mana to unlock ]

' I got 4 skills huh.. '

Currently, Adam unlocked 4 of his Absolute skills, with 2 being passive and 2 being active...

Thus, he began to weigh each skill's possible pros and cons to determine which skill to upgrade first!...

First, the '???' Summon...

Adam wasn't sure and was clueless at what the skill's advancement would bring, as the skill was only about summoning the coin...

' will there be another coin? but that would be meaningless as I have a division skill... ', Adam murmurs.

Since he wasn't certain about what the upgrade would bring, he chose to disregard it for now and just focus on other skills.

Secondly, his skill #2 shape-shifter was indeed a good passive skill! The only cons was the time it takes to shape-shift the coin, specifically, the larger it is, the longer it will take...

Hence, he can't just summon a Gigantic Spear instantly, and what if he was faced with a monster of high agility and was a level higher than him?

Therefore, he chose to upgrade this skill as he was enthusiastic at the possible aftermath of it!...

Thirdly, his skill #3 '???' Division. The only cons of it lie in Adam's concentration...

Currently, he cants divide the coin into four or above parts, mainly because the coin moves telepathically thus needing more concentration as he had to move more coins at the same time through thought...

So he also chose to upgrade it...

Lastly, skill #4, Monster - Duplicator!

This was already on Adam's mind since before as he was fascinated at the thought of duplicating and summoning more monsters!

The only cons of it was that only form was being duplicated...

Nevertheless, Adam believes that other traits like stats or even skills would be duplicated as skill progresses!

Therefore, it's also a must to upgrade!

Soon, after reasoning out the pros and cons... Adam then utters his command to the system...

" Upgrade skill #2 "

[ Upgrading skill #2: Shape-shifter to level 1 ]

[ 1 skill point has been used ]

[ Skill #2 is now on level 1 ]

As soon as the sweet announcement ceased, Adam directly utters his next command...

" Upgrade it to level 2! "

[ Upgrading skill #2: Shape-shifter to level 2 ]

[ 2 skill points has been used ]

[ Skill#2 is now on level 2 ]

Once, again, Adam utters his next command directly as the message ended...

" Upgrade it to level 3! "

....

...

..

This series of commands, and upgrading his skills #2, #3, and #4 continued until it finally reached level 3, level 3, and level 4, respectively.

Excitedly, Adam instantly checked his upgraded skill's details!

[ Skill #2: Shape-shifter (Passive) (level 3)

Description: A skill that allows the user to change the form of '???' at will.

Effects

[ Skill #4: Monster- Duplicator (Active)

Description: A skill that allows the Chosen to duplicate any kind of monster.

Cooldown time: 2 hours

Traits that can be duplicate: form and 1 random skill

Monster's list: Dark Wolf (rare) ]

-------

' Good! ', Adam said in amazement!

The upgrade was indeed tremendous, as now, Adam can use his Gigantic Spear instantly or division's skill directly!

Soon, after mulling over...

Adam then checked his remaining skill points...

[ Remaining skill point: 1 ]

" 1 more point huh, guess I can upgrade skill #1 then.. ", Adam mumbles

Since he can't use the 1 skill point to upgrade the other skills as it was level 3 and above, Adam then chose to use it on skill #1...

After a while, a command was then issued by Adam...

" use 1 skill point on skill #1! "

[ Upgrading skill#1: '???' Summon to level 1 ]

[ 1 skill point has been used ]

[ Skill #1 is now on level 1 ]

[ Skill #1: ' ??? ' Summon (Active) (level 1)

Description: An absolute ??? will appear upon activation, the size of ??? is directly proportional to Chosen's mana. Also, the ??? durability, attack power, defensive power, etc. varies depending on the amount of mana supplied. ]

' ! '

...

Adam was speechless for a while as he keeps on analyzing the skill's detail again and again...

Soon, dissatisfied looks were reflected on his face... As for why? It's because...

' t--- this... No effect? '

The skill was the same as before, with no change nor effects at all!
