[Ding! Your wish has been granted]

[A Random reward is being generated..]

[Error...]

[Re-generating..]

[Ding! An appropriate skill has been selected!]

[You have acquired Skill: Concentration(?)]

[Would you like to see your skill details?]

[Yes/No]

"oh! I didn't know that there was a detail function in the window too. That's unexpected"

According to the novel Fade's system was capable of giving him several information's due to appraisal he had, but it seems that this window which everyone in this world have, is also capable of giving information but only about your own acquired skills.

"It's good too. But let's get out of this place first, I will check details later at the dormitory"

Just as the wish was completed a portal opened in the hall, obviously this portal was urging Rio to get out of this place already. Seeing this Rio fell in thought:

"The essence of an SS rank is really strong, even though he is dead, his essence is still capable of ensuring that only one wish is made by one person."

In the end Rio walked fast and entered the portal without any hesitation. He doesn't want to be like Fade who was forcefully thrown out and fell on his face, humiliated by a mere essence of a dead person.

"Remembering that, a smile appears on my face every time..that was an interesting thing that happened with Fade."

Yeah, even after he got his first wish fulfilled, Fade was thinking of getting more, due to the system he had, he was thinking of resisting that old essence or maybe absorbing for his own use. Afterall his system points are earned from the essence of dead creatures, if he could have absorbed this huge essence of a former SS rank, he could have gotten so many points, enough to promote him to B rank directly.

It could have given him a great boost and could have made him become strong enough to get rid of all those who humiliated him. This desire for revenge made him think about it, so he decided to try this, Fade convinced Kira to walk out first and wait for him outside.

After Kira walked out of this place, Fade started his work and ordered system to absorb this essence, obviously the system is not an idiot like him, it first tried to absorb a small amount so as to be cautious, but the essence already found out that someone was trying to harm it.

The essence of a SS rank in no joke, not to mention Fade was still a low rank at that time, the essence directly opened a portal under Fade's legs and threw him out. Fade directly landed on the ground with his face towards the ground. Being humiliated, he got angry and sweared to destroy this place and all those shits a normal protagonist does, cursing the essence and saying that he will absorb it one day.

After cursing Fade walked away with Kira towards the dormitory. But he didn't know that he has already angered Marik by trying to harm his friend's essence. Although Marik could not come out personally to punish Fade, due to him being bound by the treaty between the SS ranks to not enter other race's territories without permission.

Marik always sent his snake subordinates to punish Fade from time to time. Making a huge trouble for Fade until the day, Fade killed Marik and destroyed the Lake of wishes, absorbing all the essence in it. This is the result you get by offending a son of heavens.

"Those snake subordinates were a real headache for Fade though... Not to mention some of them even targeted Fade's harem... The biggest sin a villain can do against a protagonist!"

While thinking all this Rio got out of the portal and now, he was standing on the same spot where it all started, yeah, the place where he came to look for the illusion field, inside the forest near the beautiful lake.

Rio didn't wait and ran as fast as he can, out of the forest. He knew that traps haven't finished yet, if he waited too long, Marik will capture him in his illusion again and this time he will not be so friendly like the last time. There's a high possibility that Marik will misunderstand him waiting here, he may think that Rio want to get to that place once again.

"Let's not take unnecessary risks, and get out of this god-forsaken place. It's not comfortable to be in someone's illusion for too long"

Illusion based fighters are always hated in the battlefield, not to mention they can trap people in their illusions, long term stays in an illusion can even cause your brain to be affected badly by their constant control over your thinking process. Due to these reasons an illusionist is greeted by attacks from all the sides making it very dangerous for them to be on battlefield without any guards around them.

When Rio walked out of the forest it was already evening and was getting late. So Rio returned to his dormitory room directly and after a good bath he laid down on his bed to see all the information and check out his gains now.

[Evaluation: You are an absolute anomaly; your growth rate is terrifying and you have unlimited potential!]

[Items: An Unknown Fragment (???)]

"Hmm two new slots have been created, this concentration skill I got is an Ultimate skill, that's really an unexpected surprise."

Having an ultimate skill is extremely rare in this world. Not to mention, only a few people has been recorded to have unique skills throughout the history of humankind. Of course, Fade is an exception, at his peak he had 3 ultimate skills which was really overpowered.

But it didn't matter that much because, Fade rarely used them afterall how can a protagonist show off if he directly use all his strength to kill the opponent, he needs to pretend to be forced so in order to gain more and more attention from the world.

"Such a troublesome life.."

Shaking his head Rio focused on the detail of his skills he hadn't seen the details of his skill since he got them, so he was eager to know the details. Afterall the better you know yourself, the better you can perform in fights.

"Rio concentrated his mind and imagined himself getting information on the skills"

Soon enough, a notification from the window made him smile unconsciously:

[Generating skill information panel..]

[A separate panel has been created for skill information!]

[You can get information about any of your attribute here!]

[Would you like to open the panel?]

[Yes/No]

"Yes!"

Immediately a blank panel opened in front of him with, Rio was confused for a moment, then he thought of something and concentrated on his technique section first:

[Basic Swordsmanship(C):

- A basic skill every swordsman has, it shows your understanding and mastery of swordsmanship. It is the easiest sword anyone can learn, yet the most necessary sword art to qualify as a true swordsman.

-Generally, it can only be increased to peak of D rank, but your sword potential has surpassed the general boundaries of basic swordsmanship. Causing 25% extra damage to your opponents, when using sword to attack.]

[Elemental Sword Art(C):

- A unique sword art, created by an extremely strong swordsman, it combines several elements in the swordsmanship at the peak.

- It has several sword skills, that has yet to be unlocked by you. The gradual increase of your understanding will help you to unlock more of its secrets.

- 40% extra damage in every attack when used.]

"This is really a huge detailed information on my skills, I am getting more and more interested in it now"

Next Rio focused on his skills to check them out too..

[1. Body strengthening(C-):

- A basic skill every swordsman can acquire by training basic sword arts.

- Generally, it can be only be raised to D+, but your sword talent has surpassed these boundaries, giving you an even stronger body, then normal.

- Defense increase by 45%, when used]

[2. Lightening Sword(C-):

- The first sword skill that can be unlocked when training elemental sword arts. It causes a precise and extremely fast sword attack with every strike when used.

- Damage and Speed increased by 40%, when used]

[3. Sword Aura(D-):

- A skill evolved from sword energy due to your sword talent.

- Can use elemental energies to concentrate on your sword and elemental attacks like 'Fire strike' can be used through this skill.]

[4. Handling(D-):

- The second unlocked skill of elemental sword art. Provides greater defense.

- A defense skill, can be used to defend opponents attacks and diverting them in wrong directions or toward the opponent.]

[True Immunity(X):

- A passive skill, can help block unusual skills used to harm you.]

[Concentration(?):

- A skill with extreme potential.

- All the stats, reactions and senses will be boosted by 2 times when used.

- It is still a half complete skill a second part is still needed to complete it.

- Required skill for completion:???]

Seeing the information about the skill concentration Rio was already dumbfounded.

"2 times the stats, reactions and senses? This is too overpowered!"

This small sentence means that once this skill is used all the stats of Rio Like Attack and Defense, will be at 100 from 50 directly, even though its mana consumption seems high and according to Rio's calculations he can only use this skill for 5 minutes at most, it can already be considered a deadly weapon.

Not to mention the stats even the reactions and sense will be boosted, which can help Rio to use his sword even more fast and precisely. Simply saying, this skill is tailor made for Rio and can boost his strength very high, even for only five minutes its already so damn good.

You should consider the fact that only someone at the peak of A rank can have 100 stats but Rio will be an exception to this limit from now on.

"But this last sentence confuses me a bit, this skill is already good enough yet it says that it's not complete yet?"

I wonder when I will be able to find its other half to complete this skill. Well for now let's check the last and most awaited thing that I always wanted to check out. Let's see:

[An Unknown Fragment (???):

- ???

- ?? ..Need more fragments..(1/???)..???]

"The heck is this? I never read anything about this in the novel, there was no explanation about this mysterious fragment in the novel, I wonder what this thing is for."

"It seems to need more fragments to get more information about it, that's such a headache, why do it feel like I am being dragged in some big problem, having this thing with me."

"Not to mention I can't even throw it; this thing seems to have been stored in my soul space and can't be separated so easily."

Figuring it out that he can't do anything about this he just put it at the back of his mind and decided to fell asleep. It has been a long time since he had a good sleep. The incident at the islands and the encounter with Marik, all this took a huge toll on his body.

After closing his eyes Rio fell asleep instantly. In the morning he was enjoying the beautiful sunrise standing near the window with a tea cup in his hand. A peaceful start of a new chaos filled event.

"New Year is coming soon, with a new event along with it....can't an extra have a peaceful life? Well I am looking forward to it as always."
