《I'm Just the Guard!》7: Skill Tree
Advertisement
Now all that was left to do was figure out what to do with my TP. I didn't have the slightest clue what they were for and it wasn't like there was something to give me hints on what to do with them.
So while I warmed myself up, doing my stretches and jogging in place, I focused really hard on those two letters on my status. I willed the menu to show me something, anything that I could do to use those points.
A quiet ding went off in my head and I immediately put my guard up, snapping my status closed as I readied my spear. But nothing else happened. No tell-tale ringing of an approaching invader. Just a flashing exclamation point in the corner of my vision, telling me I had a new notification.
Flushing with embarrassment, I focused on the notif and it opened up in front of me.
Congratulations! You have unlocked the skill tree!
So all that thinking hard stuff actually worked? Epic!
I nearly opened my mouth to say its name but remembered the blizzard going on and instead said it mentally.
Skill Tree
Available Skills:
[Parry] - 1 TP
[Sweep] - 3 TP
[Toughen] - 5 TP (Requires Defense Attribute)
Upgradeable Skills:
[Measure Bribe] - 2 TP
[Lesser Radar] - 3 TP
[Thrust] - 2 TP
[Burst] - 2 TP
[Charge] - 2 TP
Well, then. I had quite a dilemma on my hands. I could either buy [Parry] or upgrade one of my current skills. I could eventually learn [Parry] myself by fighting more and who knows how long it would take to naturally upgrade a skill...So I'd forego getting a new skill and focus on upgrading my current ones.
But which skill to upgrade? [Measure Bribe] was immediately out; that skill sounded shady to me. [Charge] I'll also hold off on; while a Strength boost was nice, but not what I thought I would need to survive a fight. That left [Thrust] and [Burst]. I would be doing a lot of both in the oncoming fights but I felt having a higher [Burst] level - higher AGI boosts and longer-lasting effects - would be more useful.

I purchased the upgrade for [Burst] with just a thought.
You have upgraded the skill [Burst] to level 2. [Burst] now boosts AGI by +7 and lasts for 2 seconds.
When a familiar ringing went off in my head, I closed the notifications and readied myself for battle.

Keter
They called him "Keter"; The Top-Most; The Crown. An unsurpassable, unstoppable, unkillable soldier. Etched with a twisted set of morals and studded by an impossible drive for lachesism, Keter terrorized the world for ages. But time, you see, is a most patient thing. As sure as it gives, so does it take. Even the Crown saw the eternal spindle drawing on him. He blinked, for the last time, and saw a world anew. Synopsis. So, basically, I’ve gotten tired of all these stale mcs that keep popping up left right and center. Either they are painstakingly good-natured or horribly written ‘evil’ characters. So, here’s my take on the concept of a Villain. Someone ruthless, cunning, and not shy of seeking darker means to an end. Hell, as long as it’s effective, he’ll prefer the blacker side of business. The new world will be, like many others, one in a medieval-type setting with traces of magic and the like; though I hope to make better use of this than most others who simply steal ideas from classical novels or other sources.

Divine Mortality
Divine Mortality is about the experiences of Players stepping into a new massively online world. A video game which was crafted with near-future technical advances, a game that provides seamless virtual reality headset and control support, a game which was hidden until it's surprise hit release shocking the world of boring and mundane MMORPGs played today, and a game that has been described as a miracle creation. Something which is difficult to create in Today's REAL WORLD, yet, it's not impossible with the right conditions and intentions. I try to implement concepts of my dream MMORPG which I believe will work and fulfill a Player's fun, immersion, creativity, and social world. The story in season 1 follows the first person perspective of an enthusiast of the game, Amulet Pond. Season 2 follows a new individual called Sayooshi, written in a more third person perspective (attempted light novel). (Recommended!) Season 1 covers the rough chapters 1-52, Season 2 (chapters 53+) should be better in quality. You can start reading from 53.
