Skill Creation in the Fantasy World

Chapter 32  Aftermaths.

"Ughhh..."

An exhausted groan escaped the lips of a boy who was bandaged around his body.

Felix woke with his eyes slowly getting used to the lights from the blazing sun rays that sneaked through the windows inside the room.

Blankly staring at the ceiling, his hazy mind started working on knowing the situation. But a series of sounds disturbed him from his rest.

[Ding!]

[You have killed a being higher than your own rank.]

[You have gained 10 skill points.]

[You have killed a being higher than your own rank.]

[You have gained 10 skill points.]

[You have killed a being higher than your own rank]

[You have gained 10 skill points]

He jolted awake at the continuous alerts and finally remembered what happened at the group mission.

"W-Where am I?"

He turned glanced around in panic and found himself inside his room in the guild building and sighed in relief.

"So we successfully ran away from them...."

Felix was actually not sure if there were only three intruders or more, but considering now that he was back in his room meant that there were no other enemies and the kids were all safe.

He remembered how he killed those three men and traced his hand over his face. Feeling the bandage over his face, he came down from the bed and stood in front of the mirror slowly removing it.

Surprisingly, there was no wound or injury, especially considering the punch he was hit that made him pass out. Even touching it did not hurt him but he was sure that it was paining badly before he lost consciousness.

"How is that possible...."

Felix also removed the bandage covering his stomach and found no injury there too. His mind was shocked before he remembered that there was magic in this world, unlike the crazy expensive but useless healthcare from Earth.

"It seems that the guild used some magic and treated me."

He felt thankful for joining a guild that healed him but then remembered the mission where their enemies came to catch them which made him frown. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"How could the guild give us such a mission? Did the details of the mission get leaked or....."

His expression turned from suspicion to seriousness as he thought about why they could be targeted when they were just a bunch of kids.

While contemplating, his eyes went to the mirror and he suddenly noticed a black earring on his left ear.

"Huh? What is this?"

Completely confused with this new accessory in the form of an earring placed on his left ear, he touched it.

The earring felt cold, its intricated design was astonishing with thin red engravings slightly glowing in the dark. Felix tried removing it carefully, but it did not budge or move out from his ear lobe no matter how much he pulled.

"It looks cool and all but....how did it get on my ear out of nowhere?"

He narrowed his eyes and stared speechless at the black small earring that looked nice to wear especially contrasting with his shiny silver hair and red eyes.

It almost looked like someone clearly chose that design to go with his appearance.

Felix shook his head as he knew he wouldn't get any answer right now and decided to ask others about it. There were more pressing matters at hand he thought and called out to the system.

"Anyways, System show me my status."

[Ding!]

[Status]

[Name: Felix]

[Race: Human]

[Age: 15]

[Mage Cultivation: Rank 0]

[Warrior Cultivation: Rank 0]

[Talent: ★★ ]

[State: Healthy but still lacking nutrients to grow.]

[Skills: Silent Steps, Flashback, Earth Swimming, Ratio Technique.]

[Skill Points: 100]

Looking at the status shown by the system, Felix rubbed his chin and mused.

'Hmm, my state looks good now but I need to eat more to grow. As for the skills, these four are nice overall but I should make a good combat skill sometime later with the remaining 100 points.....'

He sat on the bed and contemplated for his next course of action when suddenly his stomach groaned.

"Oh, it's time already?"

Getting up, he freshened himself up in the bathroom and walked out of the room. Entering the dining hall, he looked around before filling up a plate full of lunch food and sat at a nearby table eating alone.

Eating something like a mix of non-veg stew and soup with brown pieces of bread and a glass of berry-flavored juice, Felix enjoyed the meal without lifting his face from the plate.

After finishing the hearty lunch and letting out a burp, he left the dining hall and went downstairs to the reception hall.

He could not see anyone in the hall, so being all alone he decided to sit on the sofas and wait for Miss Elsa.

"Where did everyone go?"

It was strange that there was no one in the hall and now that he remembers, even the dining hall was empty but he didn't notice it while eating happily.

With nothing to do, Felix glanced around the hall when suddenly he decided to look around the place. He stood up and walked to the mission board and browsed through the mission scrolls.

"Is it just me or there are fewer scrolls on the board?"

Compared to yesterday, there were very less amount of scrolls on the board which confused him. There was no way suddenly a lot of missions got completed so it means that the scrolls themselves were removed for various reasons.

He stared at the board for a few seconds when his eyes lit up remembering a skill in his possession.

"I should use flashback on it....."

Smiling at his convenient way of getting answers, he placed his hand on the mission board and activated his skill.

'Buzz....Buzz.....Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz'

The static noise resounded inside his head before low voices spoke out.

"Make sure to remove the recent submissions. They have a high chance of being false."

"Yes Mam."

Felix heard Miss Elsa order around some workers to take down the mission scrolls and continue.

"We cannot make a mistake here as the guild leader himself was angry at us for what we have done."

She sounded angry and tensed but did not stop moving about as her heels made rapid footstep sounds. Suddenly another panicked voice came from near the stairs that stopped her.

"M-Miss Elsa, this....."

It looked troubled and strange when the voice of a young worker stuttered showing he was confused with whatever that was happening.

"What is it? Don't waste my time here and quickly say it!"

Elsa got angry and shouted at the worker, who gulped in fear and replied slowly.

"The Guild Leader issued a meeting for discussing....war."

Felix could only hear Miss Elsa taking a deep breath before all voices died down.

He opened in eyes wide when he listened to their conversation especially at the end and also took a deep breath just like the receptionist.

"Are you for real? A war..."

What he did not know was that it was just the beginning of the great upheaval that would later serve to only make the fame of a certain silver-haired boy reach throughout the kingdom.

As for whether the fame was made from infamy, or from honour, it will remain a mystery for all.
