Chapter 13 - 012 Unexpected Situations

Chapter 13: 012 Unexpected Situations "Level ten at twenty years old and human? And not a single skill?" The guild staff spoke up in surprise. Seeing this rather unexpected reaction from the guild staff, Shane's heart sank. "What's the matter? Did something strange happen?" Shane, feigning calmness, asked the guild staff, his tone seeming very puzzled, as if he hadn't realized anything unusual had occurred. "No, there's nothing strange." The guild staff said that with a smile still on his face, but naturally, Shane didn't believe him. Thus, Shane tried various ways to inquire from the guild staff, striving to gather intelligence without revealing his lack of knowledge about this world. It certainly wasn't easy, but it was the only thing Shane could do. For now, Shane didn't want to expose his extraordinary side. Especially not his ignorance on common sense matters, as displaying too much could earn not just ridicule, but suspicion. So, after some laborious probing, Shane finally understood the situation. According to the guild staff, in this world, all life had levels, even gods were not exempt. The higher the level, the stronger the power and abilities in all aspects. Starting from level one, with growth and practice, the level would gradually increase, maxing out at level 100.@@@@ However, not everyone could reach the limits. Depending on one's potential and qualities, some people upgraded slowly, some quickly, some could reach higher levels, while others unknowingly halted their growth, and their level would rise no more. In light of this, in Omni Potanssen, those who could achieve higher levels at a younger age enjoyed higher status. And battle was the main means for leveling up; leveling up occurred through gaining growth, so only after ample battle and practice could one level up. Defeating opponents too easily would greatly slow the upgrade speed, so the best way to level up was to fight opponents of similar strength or more powerful ones, especially deadly battles with demons, which most benefited leveling. Still, where there are difficult-to-learn skills, there are also easy-to-learn skills. Generally speaking, even a person with the most ordinary talent could acquire some weapon skills by practicing weapons for several years. Like Shane's "Two-Handed Sword" skill, generally, people practicing sword skills with two-handed sword-type weapons for several years could learn, and exceptionally gifted people might even learn in mere months or days. In such conditions, logically speaking, even if their standards were poor, they could practice up to level ten and should master one or two skills. But Shane? Not a single skill. That's why the guild staff felt surprised. Only Shane knew, the reason his level was relatively low was because he had only come to this world ten days ago. As for the skills, the reason for none was simply because the magic tester failed to detect them. Not only did Shane have skills, but he possessed an entire seventeen. One was a unique skill, another a special skill, and the remaining fifteen were all level ten skills. In other words, if following the guild staff's statement that the magic tester could only detect skills below level seven and couldn't detect unique or special skills, then it certainly couldn't detect any of Shane's skills. Due to this, the magic tester showed Shane as having no skills, creating the appearance of having no skills at all. This began to gradually catch the attention of the surrounding adventurers, causing them to look over. And Shane, having understood the whole cause and effect, couldn't help falling silent. It wasn't until this moment that Shane realized how abnormal his situation truly was. A low level was understandable, since Shane had only just arrived in this world ten days ago. Rather, achieving level ten in ten days was already an incredible feat. If not for killing so many demons in the forest, he certainly wouldn't have leveled up so fast, would he? But in terms of skills, Shane's situation was quite unusual. Enhance your reading experience by removing ads: Remove Ads Now
