Card Master System - Chapter 7 Learning A New Skill

Beep Beep Beep!

Leo suddenly looked in front of where he was sitting to see the blue screen appearing again. However, looking back down at the card within his hand, he saw that the card was now glowing in a faint light.

Quickly looking back at the blue screen, Leo was surprised by what he had just saw.

-Insert monster card into the screen to learn a skill or trade it for an exp pill-

“Learn a new skill or trade it for an exp pill? What the hell is an exp pill?” pondered Leo as he thought about what to do now.

“If this card can give me a new skill, wouldn’t that help me increase my chance of surviving tonight? Maybe this can be what gives me more strength?”

“In a video game, experience helps you level up, but I do not even see my current level. Also, I do not even have any skills right now. Maybe I will trade this card for a skill, this way, I know that I can at least have a trump card up my sleeve if I run into anything unexpected.”

Finally deciding what he would do, Leo made his move.

Inserting the card like a debit card into the screen and clicking the -learn a new skill- button. A small list of two skills popped up for Leo to choose from.

-Berserk Lv.1: This skill increases the users attack power. However, side effects including losing their minds during battle.

-Bronze Skin Lv.1: This skill makes the user’s skin as hard as bronze. This allows the user to protect themselves against low leveled attacks.

“Berserk looks like it could really come in handy if I am on the offensive, but, Bronze Skin looks like it can help me survive longer. For right now, defense and survival skills mean more to me than offensive ones.”

“Besides, if I am able to survive tonight’s monster wave, my possible quest reward could even be an offensive skill.” thought Leo as he clicked on the Bronze Skin skill.

Beep Beep Beep!

-New skill added. Open up status window to view changes-

“Status window?” Leo asked out loud now while a new smaller blue screen appeared before him.

“What?” Leo shouted as he saw his status screen.
