BRAND NEW LIFE ONLINE: RISE OF THE GODDESS OF HARVEST - Chapter 926 Skill Specialization Marble

Chapter 926 Skill Specialization Marble

?—–

So after chosing the Divine Beast Skills I wanted and equipping them, the next thing on the list of stuff to do was to choose a Skill to Specialize, all thanks to the special, mysterious item.

—–

[Skill Specialization Marble (SS Grade)]

A Special Unique Item only rewarded through Special World Quests to exceptional Players.

Allows for the ability to select a single skill from any category and transform it into a Skill Specialization, separated from normal Skill Slots.

Skill Specializations are Powers that can be imbued into a selected Skill to permanently transform them into something completely different or even better than before.

Skill Specializations will have both Passive and Active effects that will harmonize with all other Skills.

Skill Specialization will engrave the selected Skill into your very Soul, making it a part of your own growth and development as well as the future evolution of your Skills and other Abilities.

Based in the Specialization you chose, other skills will be affected when created through Skill Fusion, so choose carefully!

Once a Skill is chosen for Skill Specialization, it cannot be returned back to its original form.

Apparently, I was the only one that got it, maybe because it was the best reward for the trial completion, and I was the one that was actually doing the trial. It is already nice enough that everyone got a Divine Fusion Skill Ticket, I suppose. Hephaestus was generous enough to give some for everyone.

And now, time to use this… Let’s see.

“Um… Use Marble?”

FLASH!

The marble in my hands glowed with a bright light, the moment I activated it, it floated in midair, and then system messages popped up, asking me to choose a Skill I wanted to transform into my first Specialization.

Ding!

[You have activated the [Skill Specialization Marble (SS Grade)]!]

[The Marble is ready! Please choose a Skill you want to transform into your Specialization.]

[Once you choose the Skill, it will be lost forever, and you will be able to choose the Title of your Specialization based in 5 random generations.]

[If you dislike the first randomly generated Titles, you can spend 100.000.000 Gold to roll the dice and generate five more random generations.]

[Generate as many as possible until you find the perfect Title for your Specialization, don’t spare any Gold!]

[The sacrificed Skill will be lost forever, but the resulting Skill Specialization might be affected by its abilities, so choose carefully.]

“So that’s how it works, huh?” I wondered. “I need to sacrifice a Skill, more than anything. I guess its effects may or may not remain within the Specialization… Alright, let’s see what Skill I wouldn’t mind losing if it happened.”

I checked my Status carefully; the Skill List was big. And after carefully looking around, I made a list of the possible Skills I could afford to sacrifice, whose effects could be beneficial for the new Skill Specialization.

They were: [Cooking: Lv10], [Geomancer: Lv10], [Alchemy: Lv10], [Fishing: Lv10], [Mining: Lv10], [Farm Spirit Protection: Lv10], and [Fairy Queen’s Protection: Lv7]! The rest were way too useful for me to take away. Geomancer was already stretching it because its effects were quite simple, but still very useful as my stats increased.

—–

[Geomancer: Lv10 (Max Level)]

Only Spirit Races are capable of connecting with the Earth. The art of such techniques and spells is known as Geomancy. With Geomancy, the user is capable of connecting with the ground within a wide range and see through its Rivers of Mana and Dragon Veins. The earth itself will respond to the user and aid it in a variety of ways.

Spirits will listen more carefully, and their stats will increase by +25% when summoned from Dragon Veins.

Your stats increase by +20% while touching the earth with your body, and the amount of MP restored per second is doubled. N♡vεlB¡n: A Haven for Bookworms and Dreamers.

Learning Earth Spirit Magic becomes possible.

Additionally, a Connection with the Terrain is possible through this Skill, enhancing the range in which Skills can affect the surrounding Terrain by x20.

—–

See? It was quite useful! Twenty percent boost to all stats whenever I’m touching dirt? It’s really good already, and my MP doubles its restoration speed. And that’s without even considering the boost of x20 of my Terrain’s Skill Range.

But at the same time, I feel like I can be alright without all the buffs it provides, so it could be a decent sacrifice. The later is Cooking! It has no effects other than giving me good ideas for ingredients and boosting the quality of produced items. I already have equipped a replacement for it which has more effects, so if I lose it I won’t lose the ability to gain EXP by cooking either.

Alchemy, Fishing, and Mining would be for experimentation more than anything! I would like to know what I can do with them. I haven’t explored my Fishing Talent all that much. I might eventually explore the seas of this world, and I’ve heard they’re extremely dangerous.

Having a strong Fishing Skill could help. Mining is always essential to extract precious ores, crystals, and other materials, and it might also help me shape the world around me more easily, especially underground.

Lastly, I have barely explored Alchemy all that much, mostly I’ve received the help of Acorn, whose the master alchemist here… But if I could get some powerful Alchemy-related ability, it would be good to complement my Blacksmith Abilities.

And lastly in the list of choices, there’s [Farm Spirit Protection: Lv10] and [Fairy Queen’s Protection: Lv7]!

—–

[Farm Spirit Protection: Lv10 (Max Level)]

As a Spirit Farmer, the Spirits you Farm will always hold you within their hearts. Spirits you summon or sprout from Spirit Sprouts will naturally protect you from most damage with their lives on the line and without doubting for a second.

The natural amount of Spirit Sprouts you can farm from your Spirit Ranch increases by +20. Spirit Sprouts Stats increase by +10% once sprouted into Lesser Spirits, with an additional 10% chance for the Spirit Sprouted to be a High-Ranking Spirit or above.

The range in which you can control Spirits and make summon them through Terrains and Spirit Sprouts and Dragon Veins increases by x20.

Additionally, there’s a 1% chance every time you summon a Spirit to summon the [High Farm Spirit] a special High Rank Spirit that is in charge of the Farms of this world, which will automatically support you in both defense, healing, and offense for 5 Minutes before disappearing.

—–

This one has some really cool effects, and I think if I sacrifice it and then complement it with the Specialization, something really crazy could appear!

—–

[Fairy Queen’s Protection: Lv7]

A Special Skill that can only be acquired through the Blessing of the Fairy Queen. This Skill can be equipped in the [Race Skills] Slot.

Due to your affinity with nature and spirits, the Fairy Queen has taken a liking on you and has seen through your kind heart. You have gained her Protection, which enhances your Physical and Magical Defense by +80%. Additionally, in a pinch, you have a small chance (80%, can increase based in LUK) to be able to block a lethal attack against you or any of your registered [Party Members] and you can also enhance Barrier-type Magic to gain greater effects.

—–

And lastly, the Fairy Queen’s Protection. The effects are quite nice, the lethal hit protection is actually always triggering when I’m fighting strong opponents, so it hurts to sacrifice it.

But if that can be added into the Specialization, then something even better could show up… Or not, it’s a gamble after all. However, it should be a gamble I am willing to take!

“Now what do I pick, hmmm…” I was rubbing my chin, but Mark decided to help.

“Let me see what you picked.” He said. “I can give you some recommendations or insight. You might be the one choosing your powers and whatnot, but I also have analyzed your fighting styles.”

“Ooh, alright! Look.” I showed him what I had in mind.

“I see.” He read them rapidly. “It’s indeed a tough choice, but I would say… Cooking is the most harmless, but that could contain the best potential.”

“Cooking?” I wondered. “I do like Cooking but, really?”

“I mean, all the other options are too good to leave.” He said. “But Cooking is what you love, and if it can be enhanced to a divine level, what if you become something like a Goddess of Gourmets or something? The ability to create magical dishes that increase stats wouldn’t be far away, or even learning skills from dishes!”

“I guess that’s a lot of wishful thinking, but I was also considering this skill the most…” I nodded. “Nobody has ever specialized in cooking in this game yet, right? Its just a subclass after all.”

“Yeah, but just like the Blacksmith Class evolving into Hephaestus Successor, it could have endless possibilities, think about it.” Mark recommended me.

“You’re not wrong, but I feel like you just want even tastier dishes~” I caressed his handsome face.

“Hahaha, can’t deny it.” He kissed my lips. “But well, it still your choice. What else can we pick?”

“Nah, I think you’re right. I was doubting myself before, but this was what I really wanted to pick. So yeah, let’s do it!” I nodded.

Ding!

[You have chosen the [Cooking: Lv10 (Max Level)] as the Skill Specialization Core!]

[Once your Skill Specialization Ranks Up in the future, you will be able to pick a second Skill for the Specialization Roots that will grow from it.]

Wait, they can Rank Up? And what’s a Specialization Root?!

FLAAASH!
