Chapter 7: You're a Skill!?

Am I dead? Did I teleport back to the lowest door? I slowly opened my eyes only to see the unfamiliar surroundings. Before me was another copper door and this time, larger than the last I was in. 

Wait…

I blinked. 

This is still another Copper Door! What does this mean?

"Well technically, you didn't use any of your revival chances. And yes you're alive."

"Ugh, Psyche, I'm glad you're still hanging there."

"Of course. I'm part of you. If I'm still hanging here, that means you're still alive."

I rolled my eyes. 

"So tell me, what happened when I passed out? And why am I still in front of a copper door?"

"After you passed out with 1 HP remaining, the wolf collapsed and died. That made you survive. The administrator investigated it and they found out you conquered the Copper door. Therefore, you receive massive rewards from the system. Would you like to check it?"

"Uhh, why does your voice sound like you're excited or something?"

"No. I'm not. I'm just overwhelmed by the rewards you have received, Vi."

"Hmmm, Okay. Show me then."

A screen, which is not familiar to me it's darker than the usual Psyche usually showing me.

"What is that?" 

"The screen?"

"Yeah."

"That's the past of your dimensional box screen designated only to store rewards from the system."

"Oh, okay."

"When you passed out and defeated Drake, the system gave you this following:

"Wow! That's a lot of rewards!"

Ah, maybe killing a much stronger boss will give you such rewards. These are my hard-earned rewards because fighting Drake was like a suicide mission. 

"Ahuh… what about your main status? Do you want to check it out now?" 

"Uhm hold on right there, Psyche, there's something about the way you talk, what happened?"

"Well, you'll know once you see your main status. Wanna check it right now?" 

"Sure. If you're that excited." 

The familiar screen of my status appeared before me.

"Uhm, Psyche, why does my Status menu seem shortened? Where are the others? 

"I organized it for your convenience. The skills and weapons have their own menu screens now."

"I see. Show me the next Screen"

A yellow screen with bold fonts appeared before me. 

Skill status: Acquired and Owned

*Congratulations on unlocking lesser skills! Tactical Skill is now available to check!

Ultimate skill:? (To be unlocked)

Unique skill:? (To be unlocked)

Tactical Skill: Psyche (Level Maxed)

Description: Battle strategies, craftsman, smither, and evolutionist.

"Huh? You're a skill?"

"Yes. I'm the first skill you acquired when you woke up."

"You never said you're a skill. You only told me you're helping me get stronger."

"That's because you need a certain level to be able to see the tactical skill in your status. Now that you have achieved it, you can see me. And learn how awesome I am."

I rolled my eyes. 

"That doesn't change the fact that you somehow learned the way I talk."

"That's because I inherited your way of delivering speech. I like it better than talking like Artificial Intelligence."

"And when did you learn that too?"

"I saw it in your mind. You thought I was an Artificial Intelligence."

I frowned. 

"Can you read and see my thoughts?" I felt kind of alarmed. 

"Not really, just a bit. Probably like 1 or 2 words."

"Oh, thank goodness. You would want to venture deeper into my thoughts, Py."

"And why is that?"

"You're gonna see demons lurking there."

"Demon?"

"Yeah. So let's move on. What are the things you can do?" 

"Well, anything organizing, evolving, and crafting. It's like you do your job, and I take care of anything within you. I'm your inner worker as you do your part. As you can see, you already acquired the skills I needed."

Lesser skill: 

Craftsmanship:

Level 1: Smithing

Description: 

This skill solely exists to craft weapons, shields, and armor. The better quality the materials, the higher class crafting can produce.

Evolution (Maxed up to level 3)

Description:

Level 1: Sorting: Before the evolution process, this level is essential for sorting skills that are the same, close, and possibly matched. 

Level 2: Combine: When possible skills are chosen and matched, and they will combine.

Level 3: Evolve: When the two first steps are completed, skills will evolve into new and better skills. 

"Isn't that skill too overpowering?" 

"Considering what are you, of course

You need to have the best?"

"What? Me? What do you mean?"

"Oh, don't mind me. In fact, I was about to tell you that you have available skills that can be evolved. I already run some further analysis. What guest?"

"What?" 

"They will undergo evolution if you give me your permission."

"Shouldn't you decide instead of me?" 

"Well, I can't do that. I'm just a skill and the owner of all the skills is you. You are my boss. And I'm your servant."

"Uhhhh okay. Go ahead. I hope these new evolved skills will help me to conquer higher-level copper Doors."
