[Skill Consumed: Nimble + Heavy Jump!]

​

[Skill Created: Instantaneous Movement!]

​

The entire night, I kept working for hours and hours to get a couple of easy skills and then use the [Synergy] skill to fuse them and check the effects of the skill's application.

​

At the end of the entire task, I was able to create two skills that each clarified both the pros and cons for me.

​

[Instantaneous Movement(Basic)!

​

Description: Allows a quick teleportation-like movement, transferring the user's body from his original position to a desired position anywhere within 5 meters around him.

​

Effects: Transfer the user 5 meters around him at the cost of 30 Stamina Points.

​

Restriction:

-There shouldn't be any obstacles between the next location and the user.

-Locations that are locked to enter cannot be accessed.

​

Remark: It's a leap of faith.]

​

Taking this skill as an example, there were many pros over the others that have been consumed. Something that made fusing all the previous skills totally worth it.

​

It was farther than dash or heavy jump could take me, and was faster than any of the skills consumed. Even the Stamina requirement was quite low, given that the other skills had a comparable amount.

​

Though unlike [Nimble] or [Breeze Walking], it wasn't a passive skill and did not give me an extra boost of passive movement agility.

Honestly, though, I wouldn't exactly need a movement-adventure-based skill that only works during non-combat. I thought, as I concluded, it was a fairly good skill compared to all the others that I had acquired. Something that can be utilised in many ways for both combat and non-combat purposes.

​

On the other hand, the mana-based skill created was fairly bad.

​

[Bright Light(Basic)!

​

Effects: Create a 3 times brighter light as compared to the original skill! Consumes 5 MP per minute.

​

Remarks: Just a better torch at this point!]

​

I should be just glad that I didn't destroy anything I actively use. I sighed in relief before closing the skill window and then looking at the rest of the players ready to leave from here.

​

The night had mostly passed, with dusk being about an hour away. We could have rested for an hour more to avoid the dangers of the night, but that tree is far more dangerous than anything in the forest during the day. Staying here while it was awake was akin to suicide, honestly.

​

"Everyone, ready?" I asked, to which Blaze and Trisha answered in excitement,

​

"Ready!"

​

"Ready!"

​

Moving out of the forest, the next target was to get out of it and reach the never-ending wasteland that comes after it. Even though it was quite far away from here, I wanted to at least reach the border between the wasteland and the forest. Hence, most of today would be more running and less fighting. If it takes, I would even sacrifice a few costly spell scrolls that I brought for the journey.

​

[You have a new friend Request: Cecilia Lvl 4]

​

[Request Accepted]

​

[Cecilia: Morning, Boss! I have met with that NPC you asked me to. It took a whole day of cleaning, but looking at the quest rewards, it was totally worth it! *Picture inserted*]

​

Cecilia was the in-game name of Ciana Grace, the middle-schooler whom I helped out and then tasked with creating a guild in the game. From the messages and the picture of the quest, she was now on her way to complete the quest that required a lot of walking within the town.

​

This should be enough to give her a push in the game for now. I thought as I wondered what path I should choose for her as the face of the guild.

She had chosen the Class [Pioneer] that allowed her to gain more from research and exploration; hence, I was thinking of basing the entire guild around that.

​

While being a strong guild is important, the entire guild doesn't have to be combat-oriented at the start. I can create a research-based guild, an information guild, a merchant guild, or even an explorational guild.

​

As long as the guild succeeds slowly over time, it will be easy to strengthen our own standpoint and expand the guild into other areas of Arcadia as well.

​

[Ezekiel: Once you have finished the quest, take a short route to Irisdale Mountain. Ask the local NPCs about a monk named Ranga.]

​

[Ezekiel: Once you find Ranga, do some menial tasks for him until he asks you about your purpose.]

​

[Ezekiel: Then just tell him that you want to become a real Pioneer and not just a no-name one. It should unlock your class advancements for your class.]

​

I messaged her before looking at the dawn slowly appearing. It wasn't that the light of the sun reached this deep, dark forest now, but the flowers were slowly dimming, erasing the bluish hue that the forest had blessed us with.

​

[Bright Light!]

​

Testing out my new skill, I used to create a light around us.

​

"Whoa!" Trisha was surprised.

​

"Boss! How did you do that?!!" Link was genuinely curious as he looked at his own [Light], which he created, and then compared it to mine, which was far brighter than his. It was almost like comparing a smartphone light with a bright torch.

​

"Just a random skill I got from the previous quest," I answered before continuing to read the messages that Ciana had sent back.

​

[Cecilia: Damn! Just how much information do you have on this game? You are like a walking encyclopedia or something. Arcidapedia haha. It is even better than what's written on the forum. I was almost worried that I had chosen the wrong class. Thanks, Boss!]

​

She spelled Arcadiapedia wrong. I thought as I looked at it before closing the message window, and then focusing back on the way ahead of us.
