Rasengan

[A skill has been created through a special act. The skill 'Spiraling Mana Sphere' has been created.]

[Spiraling Mana Sphere. Active. Lvl 1. A close range technique developed by 'The Gamer' based on past experiences. Mana is focused on the palm of the hand and is forced to spin in multiple directions while at the same time maintaining the shape of a perfect sphere. 50% Defense penetration. 1000% of INT Damage when taking a direct hit. Cost: 200 MP.]

The first thing I did after I used the newly created skill to destroy a nearby tree was too rename it to 'Rasengan'. After that, I began to analyze its properties and found out that I was now a direct hit from Rasengan would cause 330 damage which was quite a lot considering I was only level 3 –almost 4. The cost was fairly accurate since a technique that powerful needed a large supply of Mana and since I was planning on using it as a finisher then I didn't have an issue with its high cost.

Then it came the mid-range technique. I focused and into the palm of my hand and built it there until I felt it was sufficient energy. A drew my hand back before I threw it forward and released my hold on the energy I had built up as my hand came forward. A blast of spread mana was released from my hand and it forward losing force the further it went until the energy dispersed into the air.

[A skill has been created through a special act. The skill 'Mana Bomb' has been created.]

[Mana Bomb. Active. Lvl 1 [0.0%]. A close to a mid-range technique developed by 'The Gamer'. The user focuses mana into the palm of their hand and it is released as the hand is pushed forward towards the enemy. The longer the technique goes the weaker it becomes. 100% of INT Concussive Damage. 20% chance of causing the 'Stunned' ailment. Range: 10 Meters. Cost: 20 MP.]

After that skill was created and I used it to almost upturn a small tree from its roots I went and developed the [Spinning Mana Arrow] skill. It was fairly easy and it cost an insignificant amount compared to [Rasengan] and [Mana Bomb]. I directed the arrow I created and pierced the three I had used Mana Blast on previously. I looked towards the part of my HUD that marked how much MP I had left and I still had more than 80% and it was already refilling. I wasn't filling tired either so I forwent a break and continued developing the skills I had set myself to develop.

I dismissed the message box with a wave of my hand before sighing and groaning at what I was going to do next. I walked forward towards one of the trees and prepared myself mentally to what I was about to do. Gamer's Mind helped a lot and after the fifth time, I took a deep breath I reared my hand back, curled into a fist and punched the tree with all my strength without using mana. I cried out in agony as I felt the bones of my hand breaking and my wrist dislocating. I cradled my hand and noticed through teary eyes that while I felt the effects of me punching the tree my hand did not break nor my wrist was dislocated but my HP had dropped by almost a 10%. A few seconds later the pain stopped and a new message box appeared.

[A skill has been created through a special and stupid act. The skill 'Physical Endurance' has been created.]

[Physical Endurance. Passive. Lvl 1 [0.0%]. The body's durability increases, allowing for less damage taken. 2% decrease in damage taken by attacks.]

I decided to try out my new skills on mobs when I saw a notification which convinces me that I may have a plot armour.

At that moment the area around me had color formed on it until I was standing in a clearing within a dark forest, and rising up in front of my was my opponent.

It appeared to be a 20 cm glowing orb floating in front of me.

"So what the heck is this thing?" I asked looking at the big firefly

[Sprite]

[Level 1]

[HP: 60/60

[MP: 60/60]

"So it's called a sprite huh?" I muttered raising my hand at the floating orb "Hopefully I can shoot it."

At that moment the Shade's body floated back a tiny bit before it began to fly directly at me, hook raised.

I quickly took aim and fired a mana arrow at the Shade, hitting it in the 'chest' causing it to hiss and stop it's rush, as well as losing 12 HP.

"Not bad." I muttered, "Let's keep it - Whoa!"

I quickly stepped back as the Sprite and lunged at me once again and tried to swoop at me, as I stepped back I fired twice more, dealing a total of 26 damage from the two shots.

"Two more shots needed, three in the chamber." I made note to myself as the Sprite swoop at me again, this time nicking me in the arm and taking off 8 of my HP.

"Bastard!" I shouted pointing the hand at where it's head should be and fired a mana arrow.

What came up was 24 Damage just under a 'Critical' Pop-up.

The sprite let out a bell like sound as it's body burned up in blueish-black flames, leaving behind a 2 skill books, and a yellow blazing orb that floated in front of me.

[Iron Skin. Active/Passive. Lvl 1 [0.0%]. A defensive technique developed by 'The Gamer' based on past experiences. The user coats their body in a layer of mana that it's absorbed into the skin passively strengthening it. The defensive properties of Iron Skin will stack up as the user keeps supplying mana into the skin. Cost: 30 MP.]

[Mana Shield. Active. Lvl 1 [0.0%]. One of the most basic defence skills using mana. Handling the energy called mana has existed for a long time, and mana shield is one among many. Blocks a portion of the damage depending on the INT and the max amount of mana the user has and the power of the attack that it's attempted to be blocked. Cost: 40 MP. Maintenance Cost: 60 MP.]

The moment I saw Iron Skin I realized it was a long-term type of skill due to its stacking up feature and that suited me perfectly and I was sure I was going to get very fond of the technique. I wasn't too worried about the immense cost of Mana Shield since it will lower as I ground it up until the point bringing it forward would be the only costly thing. After I was done developing the defensive skills I went ahead and created the support skills. With my passion reignited I pretty much dive into the swarm trying to kill as many as I could.
