A Warlock's Ascent - 72 A Gift-2
The prospect of having a cheat ability confused him, he had heard about cheats that kids used in video games and stuff, but this was not a video game, this was real life, all of this is not a video game where he just press some random keys, and then immediately he would have infinite lives. This was the real world.
The other thing that confused him was the generosity of this God Hater, why was he being so generous to him? He declined his offer, yet he came to his rescue when Hasan is trying to kill him, and now he is willing to provide him with a cheat. But why?
His paranoia started kicking in, and he started wondering whether this was all a trap, should he click ‘Y’ or should he throw caution to the wind and press ‘N’, this guy surely had a catch for being this generous, so what should he do?
Torn between his paranoia and logical thinking, he sat there thinking about the message over and over again, he came to the conclusion that maybe all of this was just a ruse to get him to join his familia, what he could not understand was why God hater wanted him so desperately?
After some time, he understood, over thinking about it won’t get him anywhere, and he had to make a decision. So after a lot of thinking, he decided to take the cheat, as long as his life was in his own hand, he didn’t care what kind of catch this God Hater had.
He put down the orb and with reinforced resolve, he clicked ‘Y’. Then a lot of messages started appearing before his eyes…

It is then he felt intense pain in his head, he felt like some insect had made its way inside and was wreaking havoc in his skull, he clutched his head and waited for worse, but nothing happened, the pain went away after a few seconds and soon he started feeling normal again.
He didn’t understand what happened, reading the messages he knew something changed in his system, so to inspect the changes he opened his status window, there were no changes there, but when he opened his skills menu, he found two new skills there…
Aside from Common Tongue, one of the new skills was called Akashic Records, and the other one was called Yggdrasil Map.
Name- Akashic Records
Rank- God Level
Description- The bearer of this skill will be able to see through the fabric of Yggdrasil itself. They could decipher every living and non-living present on the Yggdrasil. Bearer could also absorb every knowledge present under the shade of the tree.
…………..
Name- Yggdrasil Map
Rank- God Level
Description- The bearer of this skill would be able to access the maps of every world present on the Yggdrasil.
The skill of Yggdrasil Map was easy to understand, as he thought about it, he now had the mental image of maps of every world of this game. It was like he had memorized those maps personally.
But he only had the general structure of the map memorized, he did not know anything specific about the maps, like a number of cities, flora, and fauna. And based on the color of the maps, he could only imagine the weather of these worlds.
But the Akashic Records went over his head, he didn’t know what it meant, and there was no new knowledge regarding anything in his mind. The description of that skill didn’t make it sound like it was a combat skill, so the question still remained, what the hell does this skill do?
Well, fuck it. I eventually find out what it does, for now, let’s focus on what is important.’
He then picked up the black color orb, and with his touch of the orb, a message appeared before his eyes.
Name- Shadow steps
Rank- Rare
pAnDa (nov)e1
His eyes widened with surprise, the description of the skill, and his holding that black color orb, after connecting these two it was evident that he was able to somehow read the description of the skill in the orb.
But the question remained, how was he able to do so? He was sure that previously he didn’t have this ability, so how come he has this now? It is then he remembered his skill, Akashic Records, according to its description he could see through the fabric of Yggdrasil itself…
Now he got the gist of the skill. He then touched the body of the Skistag and another window appeared before him
Name-Skistag
Rank-Rare
Description- A beast that carries a skill orb in its stomach. The skills on the orb get generated at random by an algorithm, the skill generated is best suited for the first being that touches it. The flesh of the beast is one of the tastiest in the whole of Midgard.
He smiled, on top of his head he could think of many applications of this power, he didnt want to say it out loud, but he was greatful for this wonderful skill. It is then he looked at the black orb in his hand.
He decided to assimilate the orb, in a fight, this could come in handy. If he were to fight at night time then with this skill he could have an unfair advantage, Hasan won’t even realize what hit him. He couldn’t help but chuckle like villain while thinking about Hasan’s reaction when he would see his power.
With that, he bloomed a big smile on his face and gave command to the system to absorb the skill orb.
