Chapter 6- F Around & Find Out
'... System!'
The System Interface reappeared in front of me; I quickly went to the Skill page and started looking at the skills that seemed 'right' to be upgraded at this moment.

----------
So, skills that are already at 'Max' can still be upgraded but must meet certain criteria.
'... Troublesome... Now, Hehe~'
So I started upgrading the skills I had one by one, and of course, the first one was the 'Flirt' skill.
Why?
Of course, because we have to prioritize the most 'important' first.
And just like before, Knowledge about how to 'Seduce' filled my brain, and with Instant Learning Skills, I was quickly able to master the knowledge.
"*Ugh* "
Receiving too much information at one time seems to give me a headache and make me feel nauseous.
'... It might be better to upgrade the 'Memory' Skill first, alright, let's do that!'
With that in mind, I started looking for the 'Memory' skill on my long skills page.
'... Oh~ Here it is, but D-Grade? Whatever~ Let's Upgrade it to the maximum level, cause why not?'
----------
[Memory- D-Grade]
[The higher the Skill level, the User will be able to easily receive information received by the brain.
#PS- A high level does not mean that the user can remember something instantly; this skill only increases the user's brain capacity so that they can receive information more easily and store it in the 'Memory Library.'
-----------
So it doesn't reach the height of Photographic Memory, but that's okay because I have the Instant Learning Skill; I can 'Easily' Master the Information I receive; what is desired from this skill is only so that the Brain can receive excessive Information without side effects.
With that, I started upgrading the 'Memory' skill to Ex-Grade in one go.
"..."
There is no big change that I feel after upgrading the skill, it's the same as usual.
"... Hmm~ Maybe I should upgrade other skills to see the changes, Alright, let's do it! What should I choose?"
With that in mind, I clicked on the [Instant Learning] skill to maximize its grade.
Well, nothing much changed in me, so I clicked the next skill.
[Breathing [A- Grade #Can be Upgraded]
Breathing is the most important thing for a human being because without breathing, humans cannot live; that is a common thing known by all humans on earth; I mean, who doesn't? Maybe a 'Dead' human, But are humans still human when they die? Well, let's stop there before it goes any further.
In essence, Breathing is an 'Ability' that humans naturally have, and seeing as the 'Breathing' skill that I have has a Grade (A), maybe all humans have the same level as me; I mean, the Grade of Breathing 'Skill' that they have is also (A).
But I can upgrade it to the highest level, which is (EX), and it is possible to upgrade it to a higher level with certain conditions; the question is, what will happen if I upgrade my 'Breathing' skill Grade to a higher level? Well, I will find out in a moment.
Without further delay, I immediately upgraded my 'Breathing' Skill to EX-Grade in one go.
[To upgrade your [Breathing] Skill from Grade- A to Grade- Ex, the User needs 661,000,000 SP to upgrade the skill. Are you sure you want to continue?]
Well, seeing that number, if it was 'Money', that would be a Hundred percent a scam, but it is an [Skill Point]. A number like that was a small amount for me, so YES!
I pressed [YES] and the Skill Interface changed once again and showed that my 'Breathing' Skill had risen to Grade- Ex, and the good news was that my [SP] amount didn't decrease at all and still showed [999,999,999+] Is this how rich people feel?
One second, two seconds, three seconds passed and I didn't feel any change.
"... Huh? I don't feel any chan- Wait! Ugh!!!"
For three or five seconds, I felt nothing, but in the next second, something happened that I didn't know how to explain, but it was a very uncomfortable feeling.
At that time, I felt like I was not breathing air but breathing water; I felt like I was in the deepest ocean, and seawater kept coming in through my nose.
"*ARGHH!!!* "
I screamed so loud at that time; the pain I felt made me unable to keep my balance, and then I fell straight to the floor.
*Buk!*
Something, something foreign entered through my nose and continued into my lungs, and through the blood it filled my heart until I felt it would explode if I continued to breathe, I knew that it was not air that I was breathing but something else, I wanted to stop breathing through my nose, but my mouth continued to inhale air into my lungs which even made my condition worse.
"*AGHHH!!!* SO-SOMEO- *ARGHH!!* "
At that time, I kept pressing my chest and didn't want to let go because if I did, I felt like my heart would explode; I couldn't say any words other than the groans of pain that came out of my mouth.
I felt like I was going to die at that moment, but the locker room door opened, and there Grandpa and Melisa were, shocked to see me in pain on the floor.
"MIKAIL! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!!"
Melisa shouted; I wanted to scream, 'DON'T JUST STAND THERE AND QUICKLY HELP ME!!' But all that came out of my mouth was a groan of pain.
'... Fuck! Is this how I'm going to die? I'm sorry Grandma for going first'
I couldn't bear the pain I felt anymore and my consciousness slowly faded, but that's when I touched my chest.
With that touch, I felt the pain I felt lessen a little.
With the little awareness I had, I saw that the person was Grandpa.
With a worried face, he touched my chest, and a smile appeared on my face; at least Grandpa cared a little about me.
*Touch*
With the remaining strength I had, I touched Grandpa's hand, and with a smile, I said.
"... It's okay, Grandpa, please take care of my grandma for m-"
*Slap!*
I wanted to say my last words before I died, but what I got was a slap in the face from Grandpa. Do you believe that? Me, a dying person, getting slapped?
"Huh? What the..."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!! STAY AWAKE IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!!"
Grandpa shouted after slapping me; after that, he looked at Melisa, who was still screaming hysterically, why do women like to do that?
"... AND YOU WOMAN! PLEASE STOP SCREAMING! YOU'RE JUST MAKING IT WORSE!! HELP ME! THIS CHILD HAS TAKEN UP TOO MUCH MANA IN ONE GO, HELP ME STABILIZE HIS CORE!!"
Wait! What? Mana? Core? What the fuck is this old man talking about? We're not in some fantasy comic or something... or are we?
