[Idle Practicing Slots: (0/5)]

'It really became long.' Looking at his status window, Christian couldn't help but think happily. Today, his good mood just seemed to keep rising, and he couldn't help it.

His attributes, which used to be nothing back when he didn't even have his system, now looked powerful. And we wondered just how much they would increase once he reached the first stage of mastery.

That stage, his first real qualitative transformation, could truly be considered a turning point for him.

It was just that meaningful. That important!

But, knowing all of that was just a thought away now, he didn't hurry. Instead, he moved his gaze toward his skills. There were many changes here, after all.

If he were to start, it could begin with how his hacking skill had actually been deleted. That was due to the overlapping effect and its lower level compared to his general programming skill, which had advanced to the Expert tier.

And speaking of Expert tiers, he now had three Expert skills.

He wondered when he would manage to raise one of them to the next level, if such a level even existed. That happy thought lingered for a moment, before he finally moved his attention toward his mortal-prefix skills.

Or, as he had come to name them before, Essence Skills.

They were the most difficult skills to level up, and he had four of them.

Christian, now, was truly looking forward to their development, and he wondered just how much time it would take before he arrived at the next tier in any of them.

Because whether it was Flawless Body or Essence Manipulation, he didn't plan to remove either from his Idle Practicing slots.

They were just that important… for everything!

Essence Manipulation was a skill he had underestimated at first, but he now knew just how many things it would make easier for him, and how much help it could become.

Was there anything more important than his potential?

… Well, strength was more important. But he needed potential to have more strength.

So, it was just as important.

Suddenly chuckling at his thoughts, Christian shifted his attention to his newer Progression Skills.

Combat Android. And General Mechanic.

These two skills were part of the progression type, but even so, they were taking a lot of time to develop.

Especially the Combat Android one. Even though, like any other Progression skill, it had started from the basics.

But for this skill, Ellis needed many layers of prerequisite knowledge. And when he said "many," he really meant it.

And he couldn't even begin without learning them. So, he was forced to study all kinds of subjects.

Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Engineering, and more.

Mostly, related to the mechanic knowledge. And luckily, he already knew a lot about a few of them, especially Artificial Intelligence and Programming.

But again, that wasn't enough.

And that was when back then, when he had decided to replace the Talent Detecting skill from his Idle Practicing slot. Christian had thought that, if he was really going to walk the technological path… then he should walk it properly.

So, he replaced it. With what he deemed the best choice for him.

His intention was an all-encompassing mechanic. A mechanic who could do everything, from designing and developing robots to building advanced weapons like guided missiles, and many more.

He wanted it to encompass EVERYTHING.

It was more than a skill, it was a profession.

And there were many, many things he would need to learn to make a progress in this skill. But he was fine with that.

Because this skill, if developed enough, would reach a point where he could build robots and machines on his own, without even needing to assign another Idle slot to Combat Android.

Unfortunately, he still wanted to accelerate his plans on that side. Not to mention, he had already started with Combat Android.

So now, he just let them complement each other.

After he finished building the body for Iris… what he considered the most demanding task of all, he still planned to remove the Combat Android skill.

One slot dedicated to his technological path was enough!

And besides, he was already itching to start developing skills related to Essence power systems.

But he knew… the time was still early.

He needed more knowledge in his library database. And he needed more strength.

Most importantly, he needed to solve Eva's condition. And make a technique for his sister.

So, Christian tried to be practical in the way he handled things.

Suddenly feeling like he was drifting too much in his thoughts, Christian took a moment just to breathe and calm himself, pushing aside any distractions, and then… he finally received the accumulation from his four Idle slots.

[You have received 140,000 Experience]

[The skill…]

[…]

Many notification messages entered his view, but Christian didn't mind them.

He simply took a moment to digest everything he received.

Then, his gaze fell upon his fourth Idle slot.

There, he had assigned Breath of the Shadow Blade.

He stared at it for a few seconds before finally willing his system to receive its Idle accumulation.
