Reborn as my custom character

Buying technique

Fuck...! Only 3 levels..?

{System, how many points does it take to level up?}

[Master, the points needed to level up increases every next level, the constant used to multiply is four. You need a total of 50 points to upgrade space magic to 2-order.]

Shit...at this speed, it will take me a hell of a long time. I still have to obtain 32 more skill points to upgrade my space magic to the next order.

'I'll have to level up 16 more times to earn that many points.'

[Master, you don't have to worry. Skill points are not the only way to level up. You can level up your skills by using them extensively and gaining experience too.]

(Huff! Then it is fine, I guess..)

I suspect the person who reincarnated me in this world didn't want me to slack off even for a moment. Not like I have the right to complain after getting a second chance.

With skills out of the way, now I should take a look at the shop as well. I should probably buy a technique to learn how to properly use my space magic, and if possible buy one technique for my chaos magic as well.

(System, open the shop.)

[Yes, master.]

Instantly a screen filled with many words written on it appeared in my mind.

[Shop.

Skills, techniques, weapons, resources.]

I choose the technique option and a screen filled with several techniques came up.

I scrolled through them one by one. There were many impressive and interesting techniques listed. Still, I ignored them all and went to the section related to space magic. Many good techniques caught my eye.

[Spacial cube: User can create cubes using the surrounding space, all the mana inside the cubes will be distorted. The trapped opponent will not be able to cast any more magical attacks.

Price: 30000 AP, 60000 KP

Note: if the opponent is physically strong enough to break the cube, they can break free.

Portal manipulation: Users can create portals to transport everything and even themselves, transport the incoming attack or use the portal to sent attacks.

Price: 25000 AP, 50000 KP

Note: The portal in itself is not lethal, this technique is more of a supporting type.

Barrier construction: User can create all kinds of spatial barriers...]

There is no end to the list, several different and unique techniques are all put together here inside the system. But I was searching for an attack based technique, also a movement technique if possible. My defence is more than enough for now.

Soon, I found a very interesting attack type technique called slice.

[Slice: User can make countless invisible sharp space blades, for slashing the enemy. These special blades can adjust themselves depending on the targets toughness and mana level to cut them down in one fell swoop. Blocking them is nigh- impossible for an enemy of the same power level as the uses.

Price: 40000 AP, 80000 KP

Note: The blades can only reach up to 5 meters away from the user, the blades can only adjust to cut opponents one stage above them.]

Although the reach is not comparable to some of the very long attack type techniques. The ability to adjust itself to cut anything one stage above me is too broken. The technique grants me almost impenetrable defence as my thought acceleration can slow downtime for me to react faster, allowing me to use slice to cut them down before their attacks hit me.

(System, buy the slice technique.)

I shouted excitedly in my mind, though it will almost empty my affection points. I can earn them back so it is fully worth it.

[Congratulations, master.

The technique slice is obtained.]

After acquiring the attack technique, it was time to find a movement technique. However, much to my disappointment I don't have enough points to buy any technique. My AP is all used up andy KP is not enough to buy any technique.

'Whatever, I'll make do with it for now.'

Now that I can use magic, I'll go and kill monsters to farm KP. With that thought, I closed my eyes to take some rest.

"Wake up."

I heard a voice from the side as I open my eyes the person who came to my view is Tiamat. Wearing her usual silver dress.

It has been a few hours since I fall asleep. Standing up, I looked at her in confusion. Why did she come at a time like this to call me?

"What happened grandma?"

I asked her to which she answered with a frown.

"Didn't I say we will start your training? It is time to go."

'Ohh, so we will begin training..!'

I'm getting eager to try my new move as well. Also, I like the feeling of getting stronger.

"Okay! So where are we gonna be training?"

"Just follow me I have the right place."

Leaving those words she teleported us to an empty place, with nothing surrounding us. Yet, I got the feeling of strange comfort, coming from this place. As if it is my true home.

"This is the place I use to hibernate, there is a steady flow of chaotic mana and spacial distortion here. So this is the best place to learn both chaos and space magic."

Tiamat explained, looking at my questioning gaze.

'Humm, indeed this is the best place..'

I only nodded in understanding. Now it makes sense to feel this comfortable here, as this place is the most optimal for any chaos dragon.

"So before we began, let me tell you this first. I won't teach you any of my techniques."

"Huh? Then what will you teach me?"

I'm really confused now, then what are we doing here?

"This is for your own good if you practice my moves then how will you achieve your intent? So it will be for the best. Instead what I'll teach you is the basics of how our abilities work and teach you in combat."

She clarified my doubts with that.

Basically, she will teach me the fundamentals and train me in actual combat. This is also not bad, I'm really inexperienced at fighting. In a fight, it will not matter how many strong skills you have if you don't understand what to do with them and use them properly. This way it will also save me the explanation I'll have to give her if I abruptly start to use my incredible moves.

"So, tell me what do you understand about the chaos and space magic?"
