His stats underwent a change and he instantly felt the sensation of increased strength.
His mind seemed to be able to work faster so he thought he could read or speak at up to five times the speed than before.
What he felt most clearly was the presence of new energy in his body that seemed like new blood but that he could control like he controlled his hands and feet.
His fingers moved up and down as he enjoyed the various sensations of power, something he had never imagined but finally had himself.
His eyes looked around, filled with vigilance.
He appeared on top of a Swamp Zombie's body, he naturally didn't think there were no other Swamp Zombies around him even though he didn't see any other piles of grass, only grasses that grew tall and swayed endlessly in the wind.
Standing in the middle of this swamp, he couldn't deny the tense feeling he felt, something uncomfortable that made him want to return to his home.
When such a feeling arose, he did not think long, summoned his portal that he could always summon and stepped into it.
The good thing was that the Awakeners could come and go whenever they wanted.
Enzo didn't want to push himself or try his luck constantly.
Killing that Level 5 Swamp Zombie was really pure luck.
If he had to go head-to-head with such a monster or even a weaker one, it wouldn't be easy for him to rely on just a knife and a single claw.
With such a great improvement already, he was rational enough to understand that he needed to retreat first and organize his strength for the next time.
A moment later, he reappeared in his room with wet feet, letting out a sigh of relief.
His eyes stared at his stats while his mind began to imagine various things to create skills.
He was in the swamp, so there was a need for certain skills that would make things easier for him.
One of the ones he was currently envisioning was a skill to walk on water so that half his body wouldn't sink.
He hoped that it would work with his current Intelligence.
DING!
(You managed to create your skill for walking on water called Aqua Stride, would you like to get it?)
(Yes/No!)
(Yes!)
Enzo was somewhat surprised to see it actually appear.
He immediately chose yes and the Skill Book of Aqua Stride appeared in his hand.
It had a cover with an image of a vast sea where a human figure stood on it.
His eyes did not blink when he looked at the book.
Perhaps it was because it was such a simple skill that he could make it with so little Intelligence, but skills like this were extremely rare and highly sought after as they were very helpful in watery areas.
After all, even water power users did not necessarily have the ability to walk on water.
When he thought about it again, another Skill Book of Aqua Stride appeared in his hand.
'A skill like this, it won't be hard for me to turn it into money,' he thought with a strange expression.
His mind began to imagine other skills, skills for offense and defense.
He didn't want skills that looked ordinary or marketable, but he realized that he couldn't just make up skills as he went along.
If only it would have worked, he could have made super-powerful skills such as space, time, and void control. After all, such things really existed.
Unfortunately, that was impossible with his current Intelligence.
"Well, let's try it like this..."
He then envisioned possessing a water power that would allow him to control the water around him, instead of converting his Primordial Energy into water.
If it was the latter, with his current amount of Primordial Energy, the water he could create would not be much.
It was different from relying on the water around him.
With less energy, he could control more water.
DING!
(You managed to create a skill to control the water around you called Ocean's Will, do you want to get it?)
(Yes/No!)
This success made Enzo smile.
He chose yes before imagining a similar skill but controlling the land and then the wind, things that were definitely around him.
DING!
(You successfully created a skill to control the ground around you called Gaia's Will, do you want to get it?)
(You successfully created a skill to control the wind around you called Gale's Will, would you like to get it?)
(Yes/No!)
Both succeeded like water.
He chose yes and ended up having four Book Skills at his disposal.
Each of them looked the same, just different covers.
However, he felt that these skills were not enough, he felt that he needed more control over the things around him.
Therefore, he envisioned controlling rocks and plants.
DING!
(You successfully created a skill to control the plants around you called Verdant Dominion, would you like to get it?)
(You successfully created a skill to control the stones around you called Stone Sovereign, would you like to get it?)
(Yes/No!)
(Yes!)
After making two more skills, he suddenly realized one thing.
He was actually so exhausted that his body felt weak like he had no energy at all despite the fact that the Primordial Energy in his body had not decreased at all.
This was probably due to the excessive use of Intelligence.
Although it did not require Primordial Energy, it did require stamina.
He had no choice but to stop and unite the six skills he had created with him.
DING!
(You have six new skills, Aqua Stride, Ocean's Will, Gaia's Will, Gale's Will, Verdant Dominion, Stone Sovereign!)
- One Claw
- Aqua Stride
- Ocean's Will
- Gaia's Will
- Gale's Will
