Fire Magic: Fireball
At the door inside the Dungeon Lord's lair, as he walked towards a holographic screen formed in front of him.
[Skill Creation Zone]
{Locked}
It is a specialised room that was created by an ancient race to help with the growth and development of other weaker races. It has been modified by the system to create its current function.
-Only one person with a key may enter.
-You will only have one attempt. (No reattempts with a different key.)
-Skills created will be D Class or lower rank.
Instructions-
By saying 'start', the system will begin recording all actions done in the room until 'stop' is said. All actions will be analysed by the system to form a custom skill. The clearer the thought process, visualisation and showing of the intended effect, the higher the success rate and rank the skill will be.
[Will you use the key to unlock?]
After thinking about it Noah said no. He wasn't in a hurry to get more skills. he kept the key in his inventory and then started making his way out of the dungeon.
The dungeon had taken much longer to complete compared to what he had estimated. He had planned to go to another dungeon after this but he no longer had time. He walked back to the camp set up.
He went back to camp and waited for Alice to get up.
...
Alice woke up in the eternal battlefield. Today was a bit different than normal. It was the first of February.
She looked at Noah who was sitting beside her looking who was looking at his status screen. He turned to look at her as well.
"Today is the first day of the month, the mana wave should have happened on earth. Around 100,000 people should have entered the eternal battlefield, some people might have been transported to our town." Noah stated while looking at Alice.
"The teleportation Hall is open now. Should we go back to town and use it to teleport to a different town?" Alice asked.
After the first mana wave, every mana wave a new public building would be added. They had read about it in the introductory book.
The teleportation hall was the first on the list. It was a building that provided teleportation as a service for money run by the system. It could teleport you to any other location with a teleportation hall as well. It also had a one-way teleportation service, where you could teleport radially out from the teleportation hall. Its use would allow them to reach places a lot faster.
"Since we're already here let's clear another dungeon, then we'll go back."
"Sure, but I want to train a little before we go." Alice got up and took out her dagger. "Noah, can you show me all the skills and enhancers you have."
In his Inventory, Noah pulled out a bag from the fourth box. He placed it on the ground. It was filled with all the books he had gotten. There were two skills in the bag, Web Shot and Fireball. Alice picked them out and looked at them.
[Lv.1 Fire Magic: Fireball] (F Class)
Basic fire spell that forms a small sphere of mana that explodes on contact.
Cost: 1 mana
Cast time: 5 seconds
Cooldown: 30 seconds
[lv.1 Web Shot] (F Class)
Shoot a ball of sticky web.
Cost: 1 mana
Cooldown: 10 seconds
The first one they had gotten from the recent goblin dungeon the other she hadn't seen before.
"Where did you get this skill?"
"I got it from the metallic spider dungeon."
Alice first picked up the Fireball skill and learned she then looked at the Web Shot skill. The skill didn't sound that great. She had also seen the Mutated Spider Queen use it, all she could say was that it was underwhelming. The final deciding factor was that her mana was already so low, so she wouldn't even get the chance to use the skill.
She put it down and looked through the enhancers in the bag. She pulled out Flaming Edge, but as she pulled out more Noah stopped her.
"Alice, I think other than enhancers at or higher than silver rank you shouldn't pay attention to them. I know It's luck dependent but if we try enough times we can force our luck. We'll run into better enhancers so you should only learn ones that fit in with your fighting style."
Noah made a valid point, and Alice knew she needed a good boost in strength from them, she couldn't waste a single slot. She put down the Fire Edge enhancer. She wasn't going to learn it.
"You're right. Help me practice magic and also Sonic Leap, I still haven't been able to perform it properly."
After putting the bag away, Noah stood next to Alice as she trained.
Starting with the magic she had just learned. Alice concentrated and tried to cast the spell but nothing came out. She tried again and a magic circle formed but shattered before it could launch a fireball.
Fire magic wasn't her forte. She only had one talent that gave her affinity to magic, and that was Negative Energy. It allowed her to use dark magic and the like.
Her first skill, Dark Light was a dark element magic spell.
[Lv.1 Dark Light] (F Class)
Remove the darkness from a certain area.
Cast time: 5 seconds
Cooldown: 1 minute
She had used the spell before. It was a supporting spell. Which was why she wanted to learn an attack-type skill.
Fireball was currently the only skill they had that was usable. The spell wasn't of an element that she had an affinity to, but it was low ranked, this meant she could learn it with some difficulty. She continued to chant in her head until she got it completely memorised.
She then cast the spell and launched a fireball at a nearby tree scorching its bark.
Noah clapped seeing her successfully cast it.
"Now your turn, teach me how to use Sonic Leap." While Noah had been getting the Estoc Alice had gone to the training ground and learned both Sonic Leap and Mana Slash. From the two she wanted to particularly learn Sonic Leap as it helped in movement.
Noah got up and explained the concept behind it and what he understood, he spent the time helping her until she could perform it.
...
Back on route, the two reached the Werewolf dungeon. Noah wanted to go with Alice through the skill creation zone which was why he brought her with him.
The two entered the dungeon.
