Chapter 344 Testing The Skills

Shin testing his skills…

After exiting the town, he tried to find a place that was suitable enough for him to test his skills.

He had gained ten new skills in total and had planned to test them at some point - he thought that now was a perfect time.

If he knew more about his skills, then his chances of survival would increase.

While trying to find a suitable place, he found a small patch of an area which was surrounded by trees.

He thought that this was the perfect place to train.

He closed his eyes and visualized the skills that he had gained recently, starting from the first skill that he had gained in a long time - Future Sight.

"Hmm…"

'Alright, let's start with this…'

His eyes started to sparkle with green light as he used the skill Future Sight.

*Ding*

[Choose a target.]

The notification popped up demanding him to choose a target to use the skill on.

He thought that he could use the skill to peek into the future, however, it was only now he realized that a particular target had to be chosen and the skill was capable of only showing the chosen target's future.

Without hesitating, he chose the tree in front of him as a target.

[The host has chosen the Yam tree as the target.]

*Ding*

[You have used the skill Future Sight.]

…

One…

Two…

Three…

…

Ten…

Twenty…

…

Sixty!

With every sixty seconds, a minute passes!

A minute passed by yet nothing happened.

Shin felt no difference at all.

He kept staring at the tree yet he couldn't see any future.

He was confused. He thought that there was some other hidden condition or something similar to activate the skill or simply he had missed something right after the activation. However, no matter how much he used his tiny brain, he just couldn't figure it out.

The leaves of the tree were moving because of the wind, and the tree remained stationary, however, other than this, he noticed nothing!

'Don't tell me…'

'I was scammed…', for a second, he thought that he was scammed by the system.

He stared at the screen that was flashing right in front of him for a few seconds.

'No. I should stop thinking weird things.'

'The system has never done that and will never do such useless things…', he convinced himself and closed his eyes for a second when all of a sudden, an image appeared in his mind.

The system had suddenly gained a pair of large eyes and a huge mouth. It was then laughing at Shin's thought as Shin continued to stare at it.

He opened his eyes immediately.

'What the heck was that?', he was confused and surprised.

'Was that…'

'Was that the future…?!', he asked himself, only to realize that the skill only let him see the future up to a second ahead.

"Sigh, I should calm down."

He shook his head a bit.

He thought that a mere peeking into a second into the future was not too effective and thus thought that he would try the skill later after it had gained some levels.

He stopped using Future Sight and decided to check the second skill - Bloody Impact.

Bloody Impact: A 360 degrees blast causing a critical hit and guaranteed bleeding effect if the target is within the radius of the skill.

The explanation provided by the system was a bit confusing to Shin earlier and even now, when he took a look at it, he failed to completely understand.

The only way to know was to use it and test it.

Therefore, without wasting any time, he used the skill.

His eyes started to glow yet again with green light and seconds later, a red-colored aura engulfed him, almost forming a sphere. Right after that, an explosive wave was launched from his body - the red aura expanded.

*Boom*

Shin had shut his eyes temporarily and when he opened them, he found clouds of dust all around him, trying to tamper with his vision.

Five to ten seconds passed by as he waited for the dust to settle.

He then checked the tree in front of him, wanting to know what exactly was the Bloody Impact's effect.

"…"

"The fuck!?"

Surprisingly, the tree was unscathed!

Shin felt the excessive shock wave when the explosion was launched however, even after that, the trees in front of him weren't damaged.

This utterly surprised him and confused him.

'Why…?'

'Why aren't they damaged?'

'I can't spot even a single scratch on them…', he said to himself as he looked at the trees.

'Maybe…'

'Maybe I was really scammed…', he thought for a second and shook his head yet again.

He immediately tried the other skills that he gained via evolution.

Of course, before he tried them, he evolved into those specific races and experimented all the way to check if the system was indeed playing a joke on him or if he was just imagining things.

"…"

An hour passed by…

Shin returned to the town about an hour later.

The guarding goblins opened the gate.

After entering the town, Shin found many Dark elves approaching him. They were waiting for his return all this time.

"Your Highness...", one of them, a young male dark elf, walked forward as he called out to Shin.

"What's the matter?", Shin asked as he stared at their concerned faces.

The Dark elf that approached him, was suddenly on his knees.

The same was true for all other Dark elves.

Shin was utterly surprised by this.

There was definitely a way to pay respect, but this...

This was definitely not bowing to pay respect. It was something else.

"Please forgive us your highness.", this was the next thing that came out of the dark elf's mouth.

"Forgive you? Forgive you for what?", Shin remained confused.

"We...", the dark elf was going to explain but before he could say anything properly, a dwarf interrupted.

"Highness!"

"Your Highness!", a dwarf kept calling out to Shin.

The dwarf was running towards Shin.
