17 The Cursed Skill Rings

'I took a break from everything to get over the traumatizing events that happened during the penalty quests and how weak I was there. Then the same guy from before with the little crown on his head and blue hair visited me and said " plebeian we're on a mission together, come"

"Where are we going"

"Since you are beneath me it is not for you to know"

'As we were getting into the carriage I used'

'I was wondering why the condition for the skill was so high then I realized that it probably had to do with what it was named after Hephaestus I got of creation and origami?'

"How long until we get there"

" not for you to know"

"Play with this, speak the name of somebody you know into its ear"

'As he said this a blank white mannequin-looking doll shaped from polygons popped out and sat next to me'

'I didn't know exactly what his skill was but I assumed it was some sort of crafting skill using origami at the class of gods based on the whole Hephaestus thing. If this scale could really bring to life any character I know enough about as I assumed. My first thought was Goku but then I remembered there he's got to be cost. So I started thinking of weaker characters.'

'Back in my past life I dreamed of creating my own novel or even writing my own book but I never got around to it I was too busy reading to read everything about actually writing but I did stop for about 3 days once because I was grounded and had nothing but the paper I instead created a character. He was a combination of several anime characters and manga characters. "Azure King Mukou"

'I was so caught up in their moment I forgot how strong I made him. For his backstory I created an entire kingdom Azulerian empire which you ruled over with an Iron Fist he was kind of a prick but he was strong and he protected his kingdom at all cost.'

'looking back at the doll It was no longer just a white mannequin with nothing It was a man cladding blue and gold armor with a defined head and he seemed to not be moving.'

"Why isn't he moving"

"He has to be injected with enough mana to start moving equivalent to his power," he said sarcastically like it was something everybody should know.

'For the next five days, I injected as much mana as I could into him'

"It been spend five whole days what have you done you, peasant"

"Since you seem so committed I'll show you how it's done"

taking us out of the carriage into the middle of the forest nearby after the five days journey. With his hands on the back of the Azure King for the next 30 seconds, they both glowed a bright blue color as a pillar of light shot up slowly and then.

'after he was done the Azure King started moving around

"to give him his personality would have cost me a lot more mana not to mention if I were to give him his full strength it would have taken me at least another 3 months even with my 15,000 points"

'the reason I was so committed was I wanted to see what the limit of his skill was also if this would work

(flame of the void)[conditions for acquiring you are the king of a kingdom Show them your might be worshiped by more than 30,000 people as a savior]

'I was surprised he had a skill let alone that I could copy it. Soon we were at the next base a laboratory. On the front of the building it said clinical trials being held please do not enter.'

'even if Azure King wasn't at his full strength or had his personality he still walked very elegantly despite this as he walked through the wall without even moving an inch like the wall was paper'

'Inside was another elevator and this one there were three subfloors again. We decided we wanted to get this done as fast as possible so we all went to one subfloor I went to the third floor Tsuru went to the second floor while Azure King went to the first floor.'

'The entire floor was empty except for a mannequin hand that had a ring on each finger except for one it was kept in a very secure glass box'

(Arua of Moroz) as I bashed into the glass case building the layer of ice after about 50 punches of pure will it finally shattered. My knuckle seemed a little bruised so I let them rest as I took the rings and put them in my inventory. But then I wondered what are these rings and why are they in such a secure room by themselves. So I took one out of my inventory and placed it on my ring finger'

[you have obtained a new skill (Golem crafting) level 8]

'Seeing this made me realize what these rings were they were skill rings. Seeing this made me very happy as i didn't think they would have something like this in this world.'

'On sub-floor one Azure King came into a room full of dead bodies that all seem to be missing a ring-shaped hole in the middle of their hearts there was about 300 different bodies either compacting into small cubes or held in containment containers with several holes in their bodies that were shaped like rings. Even though he didn't have his personality seeing this much death brought out something that wasn't supposed to be there as he burned the entire room with a flame that looked to have a galaxy within it.'

'on subfloor two was a room full of computers Tsuru had come across these before and on another mission, so he knew how to operate them a little calling through files he found five different files called. (cursed skill rings) each file showed a kid with a skill that they had managed to transfer onto a ring. Tsuru was absolutely disgusted by what he had found'

'After we had all gotten in the elevator as we were on our way out Tsuru stopped me and said"What is wrong with you what kind of psychopath are you What makes you think that you get to hold those skills those are dead kids" losing the ones elegant voice he had before became distorted almost monster like as he was pointing at the rings I had gained four skills from equipping these rings well I thought they were natural.

"I didn't know, I just found them in the base and I thought they were real skill rings"

"There are no skill rings They can only be created through this process," he said looking at the ground as the Azure King suddenly disappeared.
