Chapter 926 Skill Specialization Marble
?-----
So after chosing the Divine Beast Skills I wanted and equipping them, the next thing on the list of stuff to do was to choose a Skill to Specialize, all thanks to the special, mysterious item.
-----
[Skill Specialization Marble (SS Grade)]
A Special Unique Item only rewarded through Special World Quests to exceptional Players.
Allows for the ability to select a single skill from any category and transform it into a Skill Specialization, separated from normal Skill Slots.
Skill Specializations are Powers that can be imbued into a selected Skill to permanently transform them into something completely different or even better than before.
Skill Specializations will have both Passive and Active effects that will harmonize with all other Skills.
Skill Specialization will engrave the selected Skill into your very Soul, making it a part of your own growth and development as well as the future evolution of your Skills and other Abilities.
Based in the Specialization you chose, other skills will be affected when created through Skill Fusion, so choose carefully!
Once a Skill is chosen for Skill Specialization, it cannot be returned back to its original form.

Apparently, I was the only one that got it, maybe because it was the best reward for the trial completion, and I was the one that was actually doing the trial. It is already nice enough that everyone got a Divine Fusion Skill Ticket, I suppose. Hephaestus was generous enough to give some for everyone.
And now, time to use this... Let's see.
"Um... Use Marble?"
FLASH!
The marble in my hands glowed with a bright light, the moment I activated it, it floated in midair, and then system messages popped up, asking me to choose a Skill I wanted to transform into my first Specialization.
Ding!
[You have activated the [Skill Specialization Marble (SS Grade)]!]
[The Marble is ready! Please choose a Skill you want to transform into your Specialization.]
[Once you choose the Skill, it will be lost forever, and you will be able to choose the Title of your Specialization based in 5 random generations.]
[If you dislike the first randomly generated Titles, you can spend 100.000.000 Gold to roll the dice and generate five more random generations.]
[Generate as many as possible until you find the perfect Title for your Specialization, don't spare any Gold!]
This one has some really cool effects, and I think if I sacrifice it and then complement it with the Specialization, something really crazy could appear!
-----
[Fairy Queen's Protection: Lv7]
A Special Skill that can only be acquired through the Blessing of the Fairy Queen. This Skill can be equipped in the [Race Skills] Slot.
Due to your affinity with nature and spirits, the Fairy Queen has taken a liking on you and has seen through your kind heart. You have gained her Protection, which enhances your Physical and Magical Defense by +80%. Additionally, in a pinch, you have a small chance (80%, can increase based in LUK) to be able to block a lethal attack against you or any of your registered [Party Members] and you can also enhance Barrier-type Magic to gain greater effects.
-----
And lastly, the Fairy Queen's Protection. The effects are quite nice, the lethal hit protection is actually always triggering when I'm fighting strong opponents, so it hurts to sacrifice it.
But if that can be added into the Specialization, then something even better could show up... Or not, it's a gamble after all. However, it should be a gamble I am willing to take!
"Now what do I pick, hmmm..." I was rubbing my chin, but Mark decided to help.
"Let me see what you picked." He said. "I can give you some recommendations or insight. You might be the one choosing your powers and whatnot, but I also have analyzed your fighting styles."
"Ooh, alright! Look." I showed him what I had in mind.
"I see." He read them rapidly. "It's indeed a tough choice, but I would say... Cooking is the most harmless, but that could contain the best potential."
"Cooking?" I wondered. "I do like Cooking but, really?"
"I mean, all the other options are too good to leave." He said. "But Cooking is what you love, and if it can be enhanced to a divine level, what if you become something like a Goddess of Gourmets or something? The ability to create magical dishes that increase stats wouldn't be far away, or even learning skills from dishes!"
"I guess that's a lot of wishful thinking, but I was also considering this skill the most..." I nodded. "Nobody has ever specialized in cooking in this game yet, right? Its just a subclass after all."
"Yeah, but just like the Blacksmith Class evolving into Hephaestus Successor, it could have endless possibilities, think about it." Mark recommended me.
"You're not wrong, but I feel like you just want even tastier dishes~" I caressed his handsome face.
"Hahaha, can't deny it." He kissed my lips. "But well, it still your choice. What else can we pick?"
"Nah, I think you're right. I was doubting myself before, but this was what I really wanted to pick. So yeah, let's do it!" I nodded.
Ding!
[You have chosen the [Cooking: Lv10 (Max Level)] as the Skill Specialization Core!]
[Once your Skill Specialization Ranks Up in the future, you will be able to pick a second Skill for the Specialization Roots that will grow from it.]
Wait, they can Rank Up? And what's a Specialization Root?!
FLAAASH!
