New Skills?

Okay, now this was just ridiculous!

How was this anything befitting a ‘Thief’? The Skills I got resembled something a Mage or Wizard would have. How could I, as a Thief be getting magic-related Skills?

Still, I couldn’t complain since their effects were pretty decent. Not only did I receive an MP boost, but I also had random effects that were bound to help me once I got into a pinch. The only problem was the unpredictability of the situation.

I didn’t like the fact that I was going to be kept in the dark about things. In any case, I would need to thoroughly research all of the abilities, skills and other things that I’d just gotten.

The new abilities of [Subspace].

My new Skills, that I got from both the Demon Cores and my new Secondary Job.

There was so much to do, and so little time.

I saw that my Job had also Leveled Up, so that meant I now had an additional skill that I wasn’t aware of.

“Skill Slot.” I voiced out.

The System responded promptly and displayed its golden window, as

    “mmh… that’s about it…” I mumbled, feeling pretty good about myself.Why? It was simply because I was able to fully test my [Subspace] abilities to my complete satisfaction. Over an hour had passed since I made sure the experiment was as elaborate as possible. The results were simply amazing. I found out that I could take in any non-living object without touch, and also things I couldn’t see or touch. I had tried taking in the air itself, and it worked.[System Notification]~Please Select The Element You Would Like To Collect>--[.][.][.]And this was displayed as a result of it.I tried taking in eruptions from exploding Mana Core Bombs, and that worked too. The moment I took them into [Subspace], they got registered, and the moment I used to redirect them to another location, only charred remains were left in that place.‘Amazing!’ I beamed.With my new abilities, there was no doubt that I would be nearly unstoppable… well, for now.The only things left were the Skil

    Now done with the first batch, my eyes leisurely slid around as I lifted my gaze to the second gate that seemed to call unto me.In the past, I wouldn’t have dared to consider indulging my desires like this, risking my life unnecessarily. However, it was different now. Even when I faced so many monsters that would have sent three signals, I didn’t see a single one pop out.“I guess I’ve become a little stronger…” Walking swiftly toward the gate, I arrived within what seemed like a moment’s breath.I currently had , , , , , and active. Even though they wouldn’t be going into Cooldown anytime soon, it felt like a waste to leave them burning up without any target to use them on.Now standing before the gate, it looked bigger than the one from before for some reason. It definitely looked tougher— more difficult to pass through. Behind this barrier was the next wave.I didn’t need a single moment to think. Grasping my fingers and turning my right hand into a fist, I casually punched my

    “”Responding to my call, thick smoke began appearing in all directions, surrounding the advancing demons in what seemed to be seconds. The intense clouds of white, grey, and black were so deep and thick that it almost seemed like one could feel them.Using the smoke gotten from all the explosions I had used earlier, I spread them all around, blindsiding the monsters from every angle. Needless to say, they were trapped in a vast wave of blinding fog.‘The smoke won’t extend to the back, though, since they’re so many…’ I reasoned.It didn’t make any difference, though. If the front vision was blocked, they won’t be able to see me anyway.Having blinded them, I took advantage of the moment of confusion and activated two of the Skills I was most excited about.“ and .”Using these two at the same time, I became an invisible persona. The thick clouds of smoke hadn’t cleared yet, so I decided to get rid of them.To fully understand the effects of these two Skills and how they worked hand-i

    Before I could react, however, the magic circle glowed brightly and a wave of light permeated the surroundings.I had to close my eyes to prevent myself from being affected by the blinding light. By the time the light ceased and my eyes naturally opened, though… the deed had already been done.“Hehehe, GAGAHIRUIIIKK!!!” The Hobgoblins seemed to sneer as they looked in my direction.In their seemingly inexhaustible number, their gazes were now focused on me. Wide grins of happiness and satisfaction were painted all over their faces.“Oh shit!”I didn’t need a prophet to tell me… the Demons could now see me!‘Fuck!’Whether I remained stationary or not, it didn’t matter at this point. The bloodthirsty and annoyed monsters all wanted a piece of me and were already heading in my direction. Their pace hastened as they hurriedly tried to close the gap between us.Though they were slow, the Hobgoblins were going to reach me sooner or later. In a state of frustration, I realized that the reas

    ‘If I move, they might be able to follow my sound, so I shouldn’t be too careless.’ I reasoned.I still had one more chance to use , but I decided not to use it. It would be unfortunate if the need arose later in the day and I had already exhausted it.‘I’m happy the effects stack up, though. It would have been quite a disappointment if one ailment vanished the moment another appeared…’ I reasoned as I watched the Demons continue charging at me in their blind state.They must have reasoned that I was still in my previous location and so are desperately trying to end my life.Unfortunately for them, I wasn’t planning on going down that easily.“It’s about time I pulled this skill out of my sleeve…” I grinned, looking at my long list of Skills.I had tried everything in my arsenal at least once; all except one!“!”An icon popped up right in front of me the moment I decid

Since they were all frozen, I turned on my Subskill and allowed my weapons to deal damage as I made my way through the crowd.My eyes darted all around as I searched for the Hobgoblin Casters among the Warriors. They were sure to look different, as was the case with the other Hobgoblins I had met so far. I just needed to spot one…“Aha!” I shouted in delight as soon as I spotted an odd one among a cluster of Hobgoblin Tankers.At this point, I didn’t even bother controlling the volume of my voice since no one could hear me.

    Epilogue

    In the quiet aftermath of the tumultuous ARMAGEDDON, I found myself standing at the precipice of a new reality. The remnants of the battle lingered in the air, and I could feel the residual power and (G) Essence coursing through the fabric of existence. As I gazed upon the aftermath, a solemn determination settled within me – a resolve to forge a reality free from the influence of both Demons and Gods.With newfound purpose, I raised my hands, drawing upon the remnants of power that swirled around me. As I concentrated, the very fabric of existence seemed to warp and bend to my will. The Demons and Gods, the Administrators of this chaotic universe, were to be left behind in the debris of ARMAGEDDON.In a surge of cosmic energy, I began to shape a pristine reality, one untouched by supernatural forces. The skies cleared, the land became fertile, and the seas calmed. I meticulously crafted a world where the laws of nature reigned supreme, untouched by the meddling hands of higher bei

    "Oh well, there's nothing else I can do…" Even if I was annoyed about the whole thing with Arthur, it was still a fact that he lost.Thanks to their emergency escape, the Pariah party missed their chance to challenge the Hidden Floor of the Tower Of Conquerors.Not only that, but their plan to use Leah and the others as hostages didn't work. They were in my [Subspace].'It's not like they matter to me at this point…'I could simply keep them as (G) Karma Point banks.Now that I could once again resort to farming (G) Karma from people, wasn't this the perfect opportunity to gain as many points as I could?'Ah, but I need quite the number of Points to advance to B Rank…'My Gift was currently in C Rank.

    The Final Bout

    What happens when a person keeps climbing the Tower?Yes, with each Level Up, wounds heal and the body is restored. However, mental fatigue is something that piles up. The strain a person has is something that gathers over time.The Rankers knew this quite well, so they all agreed to climb together. It was very obvious what they were planning on doing.—Letting the other person die!In this world, there were many ways to get stronger. It was also possible to use certain loopholes in the System—especially if one wasn't an Evil Aligned yet.Since the Rankers were in a Party, they must have been very certain of their Alignments, making them completely 'trust' one another.But, these things could be deceptive.Just as I managed to kill a bunch of people without a change in my Chaotic Neutral Alignment, the same applied to a lot of people—especially in a dangerous place like the Tower.As they fought monsters, it was certain that Rankers would get weakened. Then… if, by chance, some 'accid

    [SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT!][The Tower Of War Has Been Cleared!]Torrents of thoughts flowed in my mind as I looked at the System Window displayed in front of me.'What the hell…?'Why?How?Who?It didn't make any sense.The average Level for the current denizens of the world was 50. The strong ones were about to reach Level 100, but I didn't expect anyone to have attained Level 150 talk-less 200.The Levels and Grades of the monsters climbed as one advanced through the Floors, and since the Towers had similar difficulty, I expected others to receive the same treatment I experienced.No one could have succeeded in that venture, but me. It wasn't pride… but reality!However…'Could it be.—?!'Perhaps it was something I failed to consider. I had always suspected it, but after the Tutorial ended and I kept a watchful eye on the Leaderboard, Auction, Tower Updates, and several other elements of this new world, my doubts were cleared.There shouldn't have been anyone else who was granted somet

    The Highest Ranks

    "Rise and shine, sleepy head." A voice greeted Abhoth as he opened his astral eyes.His vision blurred, but it only lasted for a moment.Soon, he could see everything around him. It was the exact scene he remembered before dying—the underground room where he was brewing his Elixir.Did he not die? Had he managed to survive?Countless thoughts lurked in Abhoth's ghost-like body… until he realized the fact… that he was in a ghost-like body.He nearly shrieked, seeing as he had a near-transparent form, and floated like a ghost. A purple aura emanated from him, and his body was incorporeal—well, nearly.He was made of energy, and he could even see his actual body—his corpse—lying on the ground.Abhoth didn't need a prophet to tell him that he was dead.'Ghost Magic…?!' His thoughts rang, and imaginary cold sweat broke out on his forehead.He was a ghost, so he couldn't really sweat.Still, Abhoth understood the implications of what had happened to him. As an expert in Magic, he knew of th

    The audience was astonished!Sweat fell from their brows and their bodies shuddered. Even though they were protected by the sturdy pink layer, none of them were immune to the chill that coursed through their bones.The group had thought they saw the full extent of the Masked Man's powers—or at least close to it. However, his current actions shattered their preconceived notion."I-impossible…""This can't be real… right?""I can't believe this… is he really human?""Masked Hero! You're so amazing!"They all had different ways of expressing their shock.For starters, the group didn't know how it was possible to clear the battlefield of corpses. They had seen so many dead bodies—like an insurmountable sea—yet, in an instant, the Masked Man cleared them all.It was a feat like none other.As if that wasn't amazing enough, a massive Dragon suddenly emerged from a dark cloud and soared into the sky. The Demon—a being that far surpassed anything they had seen up until that moment—charged bri

    There were many ways to win.I knew that from the get-go. I could use [Subspace] to shave off parts of the Dragon's body, reducing its health until it completely fell apart.I could use my purification to severely weaken it and blast the monster to kingdom come. An easy solution would also be to use the seventy-one Treasures OF War to impale the beast on all ends. If I added my Mana to them and increased their efficiency, the monster stood no chance.I could keep going on and on as to how I could win, but what was the point?Once in a while, a person needed some excitement in their life—I was no exception."COME!"My declaration prompted the Dragon Of Storms—or rather, what was left of him—to charge at me with frightening speed.>WHOOOOSSHSHHH

    The Dragon 1

    The area around the beast was charred, and nothing but black, sooty grounds surrounding it. Impaling it were several weapons; ranging from spears to blades.They all looked very powerful and valuable.There were seventy-one of the weapons that pierced the monster's body… most likely what killed it.My eyes narrowed on the dead beast, and a wry smile appeared on my face. It now made sense why I sensed such powerful energy from beyond the gate back then.This monstrosity was the cause.Laid on the ground, surrounded by destruction and carnage was one of the most powerful races of Demons that existed.—A Dragon!Judging from the battle scene, I had a fair idea of what transpired here… at least what the narrative of this Floor was.A battle occurred, and the several races combined forces. They had a common enemy, and that was the fallen beast at the center of the battle. I had an idea of the difficulty if seven hundred thousand individuals ganged up on the creature.'It's at least a Grade

    New Party 6

    I realized my childish body was too inefficient.In so many ways, the fact that I was below average in height and build was going to impede my future plans… which was why I decided to solve the problem.Using Lara’s Gift, now my Skill, I could shape-shift into any form I desired. However, it consumed Mana, and it also had a duration despite how much I maxed it out. Since I couldn't maintain it for too long, the ability was useless as a permanent solution.Scouring for a solution in the SHOP, I finally found my answer. It was a Potion known as the Perfect Growth Compound. After reading its description, I understood its function.The potion simply elevated whoever drank it to their ideal, most perfect physical state. As a result, it could take me to the peak I could ever attain physically.I was a little worried that I was going to remain short, but seeing as there was also a Reversal Potion being sold, I decided to take my chances.Who would have thought… it actually worked!I grew to
