Master Of None

The night had gone on a bit longer than expected and by the time the party returned home the air had become frosty. Before they entered the mansion Gil spoke up, "we'll have snow by morning" he said this as if it was common to predict the weather.

"And how do you know that? Huh?" Remey was naturally the one to challenge Gil.

"My mother taught me to feel the air. The way the cold sinks in to your bones and the stillness of the cold. She needed these skills to pull in a last minute harvest so it would t die in the frost. If you focus you might just figure it out." His mocking tone at the end made Remey's face flush red. She was about to hit him as hard as she could when small white flakes began to fall.

The wide smirk was not hidden whatsoever on Gils' face, they hurried inside not wanting to turn in to ice sculptures themselves.

It was plenty late and they all wanted to sleep but they were too excited and had to share their skills.

' daily quest completed.

Rewards:

Walker: area sense- passive

Allows the user to expand their heightened senses to a larger area.

Gil: air flow- passive

Allows the user to determine the slight changes in the air and more accurately adjust projectiles.

Su: deflect-passive

The user naturally generates an aura in their armor. Projectiles will more often deflect off the armor they make contact with mitigating harm.

Remey: mana absorption-passive

The user naturally absorbs man from any magical attack used upon them. This allows them to mitigate some damage and recover small amounts of mana.'

The system gave them all extremely useful passive skills. However before they could focus on it the systems notified them once more.

'Midnight completed daily quest

Quest: meditate on the strength of one's foundation

Reward:

Increased absorption rate in the understanding of one's bones.'

This was an unexpected bonus, not only had the party members gained a quest but midnight had been given one that suited her unique situation. This was a true representation of what power the systems had in the world and to each unique individual.

The skills each member gained were perfect to help them over time. Remey had gained an item that assisted in magical protection. This her gain of an ability that protected her from some magical attack damage and helped her obtain mana would greatly boost her fighting strength. She now could release a bit of her stress due to the terror of magical attacks.

Su was looking at her skill happily. Due to her slower speed fighting a long range enemy was her biggest weakness. Gaining an equipment that helped her speed and a skill that deflected projectiles seemed to be a perfect pair. Add in her high defensive and magical defensive strength landing a blow on her was beginning to look like a dream. Not to mention with the small agility boost she can now more easily protect her party members.

Gil's skill was one that was more interesting, he already possessed amazing aim. Adding in the ability to feel the changes in the air and how it will affect his arrows would change his range drastically. Instead of just being a long range fighter he could jump to extreme ranged fighter. Using a combination of his new bow to fire wind elemental arrows and his new skill to fire farther than he ever could before he could deal massive damage. The enemy wouldn't even be able to touch him!

Walker's skill was more practical than most. As the party leader, he fully acknowledged his requirements to always know what's going on around them. The earrings he bought not only enhanced his senses but gave him a way to learn spiritual sense which could assist in healing and other things. However his new passive skill increased the range his senses covered. In simple terms sneaking home on him would be infinitely more challenging. For exemple if Gil was silently stepping toward him walker could see the slight change in shadows or maybe smell the tinge of sweat.

"So basically Gil became a long range cannon." Walkers joke was all too true.

"Well I'm not going to brag but with my bow yea pretty much. Not that it could effect Su much my arrows would just bounce away." Gil had begun to see the strengths and weaknesses of the new skills already and wanted to practice them as soon as possible. However their bodies would not allow them such things as they'd been awake for too long already.

"Pfft that's fine you two play with arrows or whatever, Walker will tell me when bad guys sneak up on us and I'll beat them up with infinite mana." Remey could see it now, Walker would warn her and she'd run around magic spells rolling off her as she used her punches endlessly.

"Remey please don't be reckless, the magic could still hurt you. I know you want to take them down but please stay close to me." Su genuinely worried Remey would get too far away but Remeys small smile reminded Su that she wasn't so dumb as to abandon her comrades in a fight. But she still wanted to remind her.

The would need to see the true effects on their battles in the next coming days. They still had free time before Clara would let them take more quests. They might as well work on these new skills.

They all stayed up chatting and showing off their new equipment. Walker was happy that his new ratings didn't require piercing his ears but instead clipped on. Su found her arm guards adjusted to fit her very well. And Remey was flaunting her new pendant. Gil did feel a bit left out not having a gear to equip but soon realized he had plenty of arrow shafts that he could add tailor made arrow heads. He would have the best arrows designed for him making his buy much more valuable. Onyx had beaten everyone to sleep becoming a tattoo again on walkers hand. The others saw this and decided to call it a day and head off to bed.
