《Universe Tales: Virtual Log of the Fallen One》Unique Skill
Advertisement
Standing in the midst of a field of corpses, our little angel was currently deep in thought.
Maria had witnessed the earlier events that transpired which led to the wolves’ deaths. After the wolf in front of her had bit her hand, the feathers on her wings had suddenly shot straight at the wolf and reaped it of its life.
Maria deduced that something similar had happened to the other wolves that attacked her.
“...it has to be because of [Angel’s Rage]...right?”
Maria quickly opened the skill window and scrutinized the first skill she gained from the game.
[Angel’s Rage Lv. 1 (51/100)
Attack every enemy you designate in an area 10 meters around you with your wings, dealing 200 Pure Damage and an additional (STR x 0.5) damage every two seconds for the next 10 seconds.
Warning: Every usage causes a 10 point increase in Taint Value (1720/500)
Warning: Taint Value has exceeded the max index, further increase will cause changes to appearance and some skills and effects.]
“...every enemy I designate...AH!”
Maria finally remembered the first time she had ever used this skill. It was when the wolves had been eating at her flesh and she had experienced pain like never before.
She had specified the target of her skill to ‘everything that was hurting her’. She hadn’t been paying attention to her skill window after looking at it only once after her encounter with the AI-possessed wolf.
Maria now understood why those players who were once surrounding her had suddenly disappeared and why everyone was now maintaining safe distances from her...
“I killed them?!”
Upon remembering those bodies that were punctured and ripped apart by her feathers, Maria paled greatly.
“B-b-but...I didn’t mean to!”
With Maria raising a ruckus like that, more wolves were attracted to her location. By the time she noticed, she was once again surrounded.

She didn’t cower, however. Her thoughts of remorse for killing those players were thrown to the back of her mind as she stuck her chest out and began laughing haughtily at the surrounding wolves.
“Ha! Ha! ha!!! I do not need to fear you puppies now!”
Now that she understood the inner workings of her unique skill, Maria strutted forward arrogantly.
“Attack me and have a taste of my feathers!”
Maria ran straight towards a wolf and swung her staff at it. The poor wolf was sent into the air and Maria didn’t forget to follow up with a downward swing to strike the poor thing into the ground once again.
The wolves surrounding her had rushed up to attack and just like what she thought, once the small jolts of pain hit her, her feathers immediately detached themselves from her wings and retaliated at the attacking wolves.
All it took were a few waves of feathers before multiple dings sounded in her ear.
*DING*

*DING* [Wolf slain! (20/50)
Maria received a sizable amount of experience points from her mini-massacre. She began roaming deeper into the forest, slaying any wolves that dared attack her!
*DING* [Quest Updated, Slay 50 Small Wolves (50/50)]
Maria had finally completed her quest, but she was too elated to even register the quest window that had popped up.
She simply waved it off thinking that it was just another experience gain message window. She then continued to strut around the forest like it was her own backyard!
Eventually, a unique chime rang in her ear.
*DING-A-LING* [Title acquired! Wolf Slayer!]
[Uncommon Title: Wolf Slayer
A slayer of wolves! Provides a 5% passive increase in damage dealt to all wolf type monsters!
Equipped effect 1: Increases damage dealt to all wolf type monsters by 20%!

Equipped effect 2: Deters all wolf type monsters from attacking within a 3 level difference!]
[Would you like to equip the title? YES/NO]
Another prompt was shown and Maria automatically pressed her finger on the [Yes].
“Yes, sa~”
Above her head, the Wolf Slayer title appeared just in front of her name in a light blue color. Maria smiled in satisfaction and continued roaming about the forest.
With the title equipped, all the wolves in the forest ran away from Maria as if she was the plague. Now, she had literally conquered her fears in both the spiritual and physical sense.
There were other monsters in the forest such as small monster boars, birds, sprites, and others. These monsters weren’t affected by her title so they still went forward to attack her.
Naturally, they met the same end as the previous wolves. It didn’t take long before a couple of more chimes rang in her head.
*DING* [Level up! +20 free stat points!]
*DING-A-LING* [Title acquired! Boar Slayer!]
*DING-A-LING* [Title acquired! Sprite Slayer!]
*DING-A-LING* ...
*DING-A-LING* ...
Maria had been walking around the forest for at least 3 hours now. On her way, she had killed multiple monsters with her staff and her skill, Angel’s Rage. She had gained a couple of new titles but didn’t bother equipping them. Only one title was allowed to be equipped and she opted to stick with the [Wolf Slayer] title.
She hated the wolves so she kept it equipped. Her [Angel’s Rage] skill had also leveled up during this time.
[Angel’s Rage Lv. 2 (11/200)
Attack every enemy you designate in an area 10 meters around you with your wings, dealing 250 Pure Damage and an additional (STR x 0.5) damage every two seconds for the next 12 seconds.

Maria smiled in satisfaction. She had leveled up plenty today. She also noticed that her quest was completed as well. Just as the girl was about to head back to the city, she heard a low, menacing roar come from right behind her.
“Ueh?”
Maria slowly turned around to face the monster growling at her and saw a large wolf about two meters in height. It had a coat of dark brown fur with red, menacing eyes peering straight at her.
It roared in anger at her and looked about ready to pounce forward.
“I-I-[Inspect]!”
[Dire Wolf Andar Lv. 10
(Uncommon/Field Boss)
HP: 10,000/10,000
Skills: Slash Lv. 5, Lacerate Lv. 2, Howl Lv. 5, Call Pack Lv. 10]
Maria stared at the wolf’s status window and couldn’t help but be surprised at its level. It was level 10! Only 1 level away from being affected by her Wolf Slayer title, no wonder it didn’t turn tail at the sight of Maria.
“F-Field Boss?”
“ROAARRR!!!”

RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.
