In his meditative state, Luck was unsure which skill he should start with first.
After a few minutes though, he decided to begin with his Mana Circulation.
Activating the skill, he felt the mana begin to flow through his body as his heart rate picked, systematically causing more blood to be pumped throughout his body.
*Ding*
[+5 to all stats!]
Luck whistled with pleasure as he read the notification.
The additional stats may not be much but it was definitely something.
A thought entered his head causing him to smile.
(If I did this all the time, wouldn't it mean my would have a 'permanent' increase?).
He liked the sound of that.
Moving on, Luck focused on trying to learn on another skill while still keeping his Circulation technique running.
It wasn't easy for someone to focus on more than one skill at a time but luckily Luck was good at multitasking.
(Good thing I also have Mana Regen)Luck thought with relief as he saw his mana continually trickle down.
He activated Shadow Manipulation as his shadow instantly came to life, sinking through the floors and landing in the living room.
Upon landing, it glanced at a chair as Luck activated his Appraisal skill.
Immediately, his Mana Circulation deactivated, his brain having reached its limit for now.
*Ding*
Name-Sòfa. Specification-Double Seated
Rank -Unranked
(It worked)Luck thought with satisfaction.
He was actually worried his skill wouldn't work.
(I guess it still applies since I'm technically the one casting the skill).
He activated his Mana Circulation again as his shadow roamed freely around the house and each time he appraised something,his Circulation would abruptly deactivate.
Luck wasn't deterred though as he just activated it all over again.
*Ding*
[Your [Appraisal (R)has increase in proficiency!]
[Your [Mana Circulation (R) has increased in proficiency!]
[+3 Intelligence]
[Your [Shadow Manipulation (Av)]has increased in proficiency!]
Seemingly satisfied with the progress opened his eyes as he glanced at his brother who was in a meditative position while breathing deep and slowly.
Luck sensed the mana that flowed through Luke's body in unison.(At least we both have our own technique)
"Say Luke"Luck said making his brother break his concentration and glance at him.
"Did you hunt any beasts while I was... unconscious?"
"Not really"Luke answered "Only some F-rank beasts".
(As I thought)Luck thought (It seems all Circulation techniques have benefits).
"Well Goodnight".
"G-good night!"
Hearing the chuckle in Luke's voice Luck inwardly chuckled.
He knew he was surprised that Luck was finished that quickly.
Seeing his brother lie down still,Luke went back to his training.
It didn't take long for Luke to tire out as well and soon a soft snoring could be heard through the room.
Luck suddenly sat up as with with quick and silent movements,he stood on the floor .
His called his shadow to him and the shadow instantly heeded his call as Luck formed a scythe with it.
He slashed at the floor.
It managed to leave a small cut despite the large arc had swung with the weapon.
But Luck was smiling.
(As I thought;It would be able to deal damage the more it gains proficiency).
His shadow reshaped itself intoba copy of Luck's 3D figure as it punched the floor.
*Thud*
The black fist connected with it as a dull thump rang through the room.
(It's damage is minimal and it lacks a mind but it's a start).
Luck climbed back into bed. He made sure his Mana Circulation was left activated as he soon drifted into sleep.
