Skills

Rash prepared himself when he saw the firm look on Nightmare's face, although it seems quite funny when he shows that look with his cute face.

"As you did with the Status Window, you can access the Skills Window the same way," as he shows him the method, snapping his two fingers. The Skills Window appeared in front of Rash in the form of a small screen. The screen contains many cells and icons arranged on top of each other with different explanations for each.

"Here is a list of skills that you can use at the moment. They were not available before, but from this moment they have become distinctive basic skills for you." Nightmare pointed out three skills at the top of the list and began to explain each one separately.

"The first skill is called the hero punch,"

Rash suddenly felt ashamed upon hearing the name of the skill, and thought to himself that he would not use this skill in any way. Nightmare immediately realized what was on his mind, so he paused for a while.

"It's only a name, you don't have to act like this for it. Also, you don't need to mention the name of the skill when using it. You just have to intend to use it in your awareness and carry out the attack. This is very simple, right?"

Rash nodded and pointed to Nightmare to complete his explanation. "Okay," said Nightmare, who then displayed the basic information of the hero punch on the screen and asked Rash to verify it.

* Because you are the hero, 20% of damage will be added if the targets are Gallus monsters.

"What do you think?"

"Hmm... I'm not exactly sure I understood everything, but since it's like a regular punch, that what matters, correct? Other things, I can gradually understand it." Rash has never played video games before, but he learned about computers and digital machines at school. The reason he did not play computer games is that he does not have money for his food, so how can he afford other things?

"Well it will be easier than you expect... Next," Nightmare said with complete confidence. In fact, it is not very important that he understands everything now because he will learn the skills automatically as long as he is associated with Nightmare.

* Because you are the hero, 20% of damage will be added if the targets are Gallus monsters.

"These three skills you can use starting from level 1. Other than the normal attack, the punch and the kick contain energy that enables you to carry out an attack that is stronger than the normal attack; and that attack will protect your hands and legs when onslaught. For example when you direct a punch to a wall, you will not feel pain as a result of the hardness of the wall." Nightmare explained a little bit of information about how to use the two skills and the steps involved in implementing them.

Then he went on to explain the remaining skill, "As for the Hero's Appraisal, you need to define the target that you want to know the information about and then activate the skill. The skill helps you to know the information easily, for example, the distances between you and the target can be determined, knowledge of the material used in the manufacture of the target or identification and some others, of course, the skill has a limit, and there are things that can only be known by raising the skill level."

Rash listened constantly to every word from Nightmare, and in every sentence he grew more amazed at it. He is very simple in this regard and does not know much about what is going on in the world, and hearing such things made his horizon expand little by little. Now there is a feeling of excitement in his heart to experience it, something he hasn't felt in a very long time or maybe he hasn't felt like this before.

Suddenly he sensed a small alert like a little ringtone that made him focus his gaze in front of him as a small window popped up next to the skill window.

"This is...?" Rash read what appeared on the screen, but he didn't expect the missions to be like this. If Nightmare could talk to him directly then why would he give him written missions, is there any point in that?

"As you can see, this is your first quest, you will have to accept the quests in this way in the future, of course accepting or rejecting the quest is up to you to decide. Regarding the tasks, you need to do them on your own, I will not help you in completing them and this is to achieve the best result of your training and doesn't hinder your growth." There are, of course, other reasons in addition to these reasons, but Nightmare cannot tell him about them at this time.

"Does this mean that you can help me but you just don't do it for this reason?" Rash inquired further.

"Hmm... what do you think? I told you that I am not a normal system, this means that I can do more things than you have seen, but there is a rule that you must always remember, in this world if you want something there is always a price you pay to get it this rule works on everyone without exception. Is that clear."

Rash nodded to Nightmare and decided to remember these words as a rule from now on. Nightmare's words this time were more assertive than before, although he did not talk about the extent of his abilities or any of this matter, so he certainly had his reasons for that, and Rash did not ask about it and decided to start on doing his mission.

'As Nightmare explained, goal setting comes first.' He thought of himself and searched in the room for something good to start with, there are many things scattered here and there, a door, a vase, roses, window, medical instruments... He did not want to complicate the matter too much, so he decided to experiment on the vase because it seemed an easy target. After identifying it with his gaze as target, he began to activate the skill of Hero's Appraisal as he learned from Nightmare.

'It's good that I don't need to speak the name of the skill or else it will be embarrassing.'

This is the first time in his life to use this kind of strange technique, even though things seemed a lot vague, but as Nightmare said, Rash did not face any problem at all and it worked perfectly, till he asked himself whether this was really the first time that he did so?

When he activated the skill, everything stayed the same in the room and nothing changed at all, but some writing appeared on the top of the vase

'So it works like this.' Rush mumbled inwardly, and before he changed his gaze or focused on something else, he noticed the presence of something else as it appeared in front of him on the screen, which was the distance between him and the vase.

He looked at the flowers this time, and without thinking much, he tried to find out what kind it was

Rash does not know the difference between the types of flowers nor what they symbolize, he usually does not care about these things, but now he wants to try the skill more, so he thought that he wants to know more about these flowers and without delay a group of information appeared in front of him in the form of a small card

"The heck... Can the skill identify this as well?" He couldn't hold himself up and shouted loudly, to be answered by Nightmare to his question, "These are very normal things and there are many digital glasses in this world that can do the same thing so you don't have to be too surprised."

"Really... oh, I've heard of those glasses, but I've never tried something like them before so does it do the same thing too?" He asked in astonishment.

"Yes, but there are always differences and what you see now is only the beginning." Nightmare answered, leaving Rash to find out so that he is always eager to learn more and so that he can adapt to the skill more naturally in the future.

When Rash stopped focusing on the skill, it stopped automatically after a moment, and appeared in the tasks screen that was still open in front of him,
