Chapter 90: New Skill

90- New Skill

Host has been awarded 4 Vitality stat points.

As soon as the notification rang, I felt that all my internal organs, bones, muscles, tissues, veins, blood, skin, and cells were cheering with joy and it felt like a plant that has not been watered for a week, was suddenly watered. The feeling was similar to the last time when my Vitality stat was increased by 2, but this time the feeling was multiplied.

It felt very refreshing just like soaking in a tub filled with hot water. And the feeling continued for a couple of seconds and even as the feeling was fading away, it took me a minute to come back to my senses.

Host has been awarded a Random skill lottery. Would you like to draw the lottery?

(YES) or (NO)

Of course, its a yes.

After clicking on (yes), a huge virtual window screen appeared in front of me. The window screen was divided into rows and columns, and they formed many small boxes in which a lot of words were written inside them but they were blurred, so it was hard to derive what the word was. And the whole window screen was covered with those words.

And then, one of the boxes with a word in it was lighted up. And slowly the box next to it was lighted and the previous box was back to normal. Then once again it moved to the next box and it started moving faster.

After few seconds, one of the boxes was highlighted and it stayed like that for 2 seconds, and then the system notification rang,

Host has obtained the Physical Enhancement and Modification skill.

Physical Enhancement and Modification (Level 1):

Rank D

This skill is divided into two parts.

1. Physical Enhancement: This skill enhances the hosts body and all the stats are increased by 5%.

Requires = 25 MP / minute or 25 MP per minute.

2. Physical Modification: This skill allows the host to modify his body or any part of the body, to any shape and size. The host can even change his face, bone size, hair length...practically anything. But there is a drawback, that is The users body must be able to bear the strain.

Required MP varies proportional to the modification done and requires 10% of MP used for the Modification per hour to keep the modification running. Meaning If a modification uses 120 MP, then 10% of 120 is 12, then 12 MP will be used for keeping the modification running for 1 hour.

Note: It is recommended that the host, does not use the Physical Modification sub-skill because the hosts body is not physically fit and will not be able to bear the strain generated when this skill is used. Hence, it is advised that the host should recover and also increase his stats.

Seeing this, I could not help but grin. It would be a lie to say but I was actually hoping to hit a jackpot and get an awesome skill but nevertheless, this skill is also good.

With this skill, I can change my identity and face, and infiltrate the enemy's stronghold without much issue. Although the system has warned me not to use Physical modification as my body will not be able to handle it, but that is only temporary because soon I will be cured, then I can increase my bodys condition.

.

Calming my excitement, I continued reading other messages.

.

After spending 10-15 minutes, all the unread messages were read. Most of the messages were rubbish like- the notification related to -1 HP that will be decreasing every minute and how while I was unconscious, the medicines that I was fed, and how my HP recovered.

After done with that, I felt like having a bath and relaxing at the same time. And since I had been unconscious for two months, whoever took care of me might have just cleaned me with a wet cloth, which means that it's been a very long time since I had a bath. And earlier due to my excitement, I did not take a bath and went to meet Sheela and Bertha, along with Armelia.

Of course, its not like I smell or something, it's just that I have been accustomed to regular baths and when you know that you did not have a bath for the last 2 months, the brain produces an uncomfortable feeling and just that feeling makes me want to take a bath.

So, I exited the room and called a guard (Female Lamia) who was patrolling, and asked her about where could I have a bath and she told me to follow her, and then she took me to the bath.

(Authors Note: In Lamias, everyone is a female including the guard, so if I refer to any sentence while the MC is in the Lamia tribe, similar to the one above, always remember that I am referring to a female lamia, and please dont go imagining some male. Of course, I might have already mentioned this point in previous chapters, but just wanted to remind you.)

.

After we arrived at the bath, she told me that this was a common bath used by the guards and currently it was not being used, so I could have it for myself. She excused herself and went back to her duty and I removed my clothes and got into the water tub.

Haa...

The tub was filled with hot water and after getting into the water, I felt very relaxing and I sighed with relief.

As I was relaxing in hot water, I remembered that, since my Vitality stat has increased by 4, then my Resistance stat limit which has been stuck at 76, can now be increased again. And since I have 500 Free stat points which are unused, should now be invested in the Resistance stat to its limit and other stats.

So, I opened the stats window,
