The Author's POV

Chapter 34

-klank!

Arriving at the entrance of the vault, a compartment opened up.

-Place the skill inside of the box

Soon, a cold voice rang in my ears, to which I followed as ordered and placed the book inside the compartment.

Looking at the book which was inside of the compartment, I couldn't help but look at it carefully. It had lumpy leather bindings, and its pages were of golden color. The cover of the leather book was empty, with no title nor pictures on it. Although it looked like a book, when I tried opening it, I couldn't. No matter how much force I exerted, the book wouldn't budge.

...Fascinating

-Krrrrrr

After placing the skill book inside of the compartment, the vault door rumbled, slowly opening up. Waiting for me on the other side of the door was Thomas accompanied by the two red-clad individuals.

"All good?"

Walking up to me, Thomas took a quick peek at the vault.

Seeing that everything was alright, he urged me to follow him, and we were soon back in the waiting room.

"Wait here while I'll go and check if everything is alright"

"hm"

Nodding my head, I watched Thomas leave. Ignoring the fact that I was once again alone in the room that felt like millions of eyes were watching, I excitedly thought of my soon-to-be skill.

Now that I thought about it, this skill was basically tailored-made for me.

As someone who was not exposed to a society where superpowers and no morals existed, a skill like this was what I needed to help me adapt against situations that would require me to do things I wouldn't have otherwise ever thought of doing back in my previous world.

Things such as killing or witnessing gore were not something I could get used to immediately. This was partly one of the main reasons I was so overwhelmed by Baron of Everblood's presence before. Had it been Kevin or any of the other protagonists, such a thing wouldn't have impacted them as hard as much it did me.

As I was deep in my thoughts, with a complicated expression, Thomas walked back into the room. Soon, with my skill book in his hands, Thomas arrived in front of me and asked

"Are you sure about this?"

"Positive"

Lightly smiling, I nodded and took the skill book from his hands.

"...alright, suit yourself"

Although it seemed like he wanted to say something, Thomas stopped himself midway and just waved his hand in resignation.

Not noticing his reaction as I was too engrossed looking at the skill book, I immediately placed my hand on top of the book and circulated my mana.

Soon a white glow enveloped me, and the book magically disappeared.

Closing my eyes, a flood of information instantly transmitted itself in my mind. It took me a total of five minutes to digest all the information. Opening my eyes, a satisfied smile appeared on my face.

Checking my status, I was pleasantly surprised by its changes.
