CHAPTER 3

"Well, the skills I'm going to create can be E rank or below. Okay so [Skill Creation]"

[Specify the characteristics of the skill you want to create or you can choose from the list.]

"Well, I want a skill that will make it easier for me to move mana through my body and make it easier for me to develop mana."

[Searching...]

[Found]

[Mana Veins (Passive)] [Rank: F+] [Next rank: %00]

(Description: It facilitates the use of mana by creating mana veins in the body. Makes mana spent on skills and spells more efficient.)

[Do you accept this skill?]

"Yes!"

Suddenly, a sharp pain stabbed as mana veins formed in Ethan's body. A black substance started to come out of the pores on Ethan's skin. This black substance was the dirt coming out of the bones and veins inside the body thanks to the mana veins formed in the body.

[Thanks to the mana veins, you got rid of some of your inner dirt.]

[Your Int has increased.]

"All right, Dantian is what I want for the next skill."

[Searching...]

[Found]

[Dantian (Passive)] [Rank: E] [Next Rank: %00]

(Description: An E rank dantian. It allows you to perceive and cultivate Qi.)

[Do you accept this skill?]

"Yes!"

Just like in mana, the dirt came out of Ethan's body and the natural energy that was dispersed outside by opening his pores began to gather in Ethan and a Dantian was formed in his abdominal cavity.

[Notice!]

[You have completed 2 of the 3 parts of a hidden skill, and when the correct skill is found, the three skills will merge and form a new skill. Good luck.]

"Well, if you're calling it a hidden skill, you got my attention. Let's think about the two skills, most likely Mana veins and Dantian, then what could be the third skill? Mana, Qi and the third?"

So Ethan began to think for a while, and soon it occurred to him that maybe the answer might be in his memories from his old life, and he began to review his old memories. Since this would take a long time, he used the [Thought Acceleration] skill and scanned his old life from beginning to end.

After a while, a memory caught his eye. It was a Japanese anime he watched as a kid. It was about a little boy with a nine-tailed demon in him, and Ethan remembered the energy unit from that anime.

"Let's try it. Chakra Pathway System."

[Searching...]

[Found]

[Chakra Pathway System (Passive)] [Rank: F] [Next Rank: %00]

(Description: It is an organ that cannot be used by those who do not have chakra skills and that the Chakra flow in nature can be stored and used in the body.)

[Do you accept this skill?]

"Let's see, they say that the one who is afraid has no children, so let's do it. Yes!"

As soon as Ethan accepted the skill, a strange feeling came over his body. It wasn't like the other two skills, as if something was branching inside his body like tree branches.

[Hidden skill (3/3) Complete]

[Congratulations, you have gathered all the necessary skills. Three skills are combined and turned into a new skill.]

[[Mana veins] [Rank: F+], [Dantian] [Rank: E] and [Chakra Pathway system] [Rank: F] has combined into [Perfect Inner Body] [Rank: S] skill.]

[Perfect Inner Body] [Rank: S] [Next Rank: %00]

(Description: You can use any energy in this universe. Your inner body can adapt and evolve with all kinds of energies.)

[Effect: +50% efficiency on all skills and spells while using mana.]

[Effect: +50% efficiency on all skills and martial arts while using Qi.]

[Effect: +50% efficiency on all skills and jutsus while using Chakra.]

"That's Legendary!!!" Ethan couldn't help yelling in excitement.

[You have used 5/3 of your daily skill creation limit.]

"So I have a certain skill creation limit of a day. Well, I guess I'll have to use these rights wisely."

Then Ethan looked to the floor.

"Ugh! Disgusting!" There was a puddle of pitch black on the floor. He immediately took a washcloth and cleaned it, then immediately took a shower because it smelled bad.

Just getting out of the shower after a relaxing bath with hot water...

"Phew that was refreshin-" Ethan saw his reflection in the mirror and swallowed his words.

Ethan's face looked paler than before, and his eyes were like dead fish eyes. So the kids were afraid to look into Ethan's eyes, but now Ethan's face looks more alive and his eyes are black instead of dead fish eyes and resemble a black hole. He has eyes that draw people in as he looks at them, and his hair is also black in color. And even though Ethan looked ordinary before, now he looked really handsome that even he was stunned.

Ethan couldn't help looking at himself in the mirror for a while, but after a few minutes, he finally put on his clothes and started looking at the news of the underworld using his computer, also with his hacker skills he was looking at news that wouldn't normally be found.

-----------------------------------------------------

(By the Way]

"I finally broke up with that son-of-a-bitch fucking Joker." A blonde-haired girl said as she got out of the car.

"And so this is New York. Wait for me New York because Harley Quinn is coming." Harley Quinn said loudly.

...

The people around turned to look at Harley, and then nothing happened and continued on their way.

"Ugh all right now where was the address where I was supposed to meet Ivy and kitty?" Harley pulled out her phone and began navigating to a specific address using maps.
