YM778.TV Chapter 59: [Volume 3: Prologue!]
Grade: Mortal Grade-10
Experience till next Grade: 0.00%( Map 20 Kilometers in Area)
Effect:
-Allows the user to make a detailed Map of everything that he has captured with the skill [Mapping!]
-Unlock Skill [Mapping!] ]
[Skill: Mapping!
Grade: F-Grade (Directly Connected with the Gift: Cartography)
Effects:
-Allows the user to map a distance of 100 meters around the user with accurate precision!]
\'Is it an upgrade or downgrade?\' I thought as I looked at that new skill and upgraded gift. Though on checking out the map, I found a couple of things that weren\'t present before.
Everything around me in 100 meters was redefined. It wasn\'t a simple 2D Drawing anymore, as minor 3D blocks were present representing the trees, monsters and even my own data. I guess now I can make out the shape and color of the players and monsters as well?
Also, all the previous features of the map were still present, meaning I could still use the previous 2D map that I had used before, so in a way nothing was lost.
Still…
\'It wasn\'t something that I was expecting,\' I sighed as I began running around again. There was still an hour before morning, so I should hunt as much as possible. This night has been rather fruitful, so I wasn\'t as dejected as I could have been when I saw that [Gift!].
I even got this to B-Grade. Though A-Grade seemed rather far as it was costing me 70 Million GM points.
[Accelerated Learning!
Grade: B
Effects:
-Allows the user to think 10 times faster! A headache will be induced based on the amount of time the user uses this skill!
-Allows the user to comprehend things 100% faster!
-Increases the Focus of the user by 100%!
-Increases the Learning proficiency by 50%!]
As for my current GM Points,
[GM Points: 1.3 Million GM Points!]
It was too much in comparison to what I was earning, but looking at the cost of A-Grade skills and beyond, it was still too less.
\'Should I get multiple B-Grade skills, and then move forward with one Grade at a time?\' I thought as I don\'t see myself getting an S-Grade skill by this method anytime soon.
-Whoosh!
I killed a couple of more D-grade monsters before killing a few more. Jumping around the forest, I was now used to the environment along with the use of [Illusion!] skill. It was easy to misdirect any monster around here.
\'I think B-Grade will be a bit too much for all the equipment… let\'s settle with only C-Grade for now,\'I thought before upgrading the two D-Grade items into C-Grade, each for 300,000 Points.
[Item: Ring of Grace!
Grade: C
Status: Bound to Adrian John Rodriguez
Effect:
+50 Constitution
+Increases the Chance of landing a critical hit on the monsters by 20%!]
[Item: Unloved Necklace of Grace!
Grade: C
Status: Bound to Adrian John Rodriguez
Effect:
+70 Stamina!
+Increases the Chance of finding a monster core while killing a monster by 5%!]
On their own, they were fine. But their real effects were reflected on the set effect provided by the complete set. A smile appeared on my face as I saw the new changes in the set effects.
[You have equipped all the Non-Combat Equipment of the Set: Grace! Partial Set Effects will be unlocked!]
[Set Effect 1: Blessing of Grace: +30 in all stats!
Set Effect 2: Love of Grace: Your HP and MP will regenerate at the rate of 100 per minute when in non-combat state!
Set Effect 3: [Locked!] ]
I then looked at the rest of the equipment for a few seconds.
// Author\'s Note: I have made a seperate section for Adrian\'s Equipment in the Auxiliary Chapters. You can check it out. //
Given I still had about 700,000 GM points, I pondered about a few things before a certain idea came into my mind. And then thinking about it in detail, I typed a few words in the System to see if I could create that.
[Weapon: Sword of Grace
Grade: C
Status: Bound to Adrian John Rodriguez!
Attack: 5000!
Durability: 10,000/10,000
Effects:
+30 Agility!
+For every Critical hit, the damage would increase by 200%!
+Blood Absorption: For every 1000 HP that the sword consumes from the target, it\'s critical hit damage increases by !%!]
[Would you like to create the Weapon for 700,000 GM Point?]
It was black katana that seemed a perfect match for the get up that I had. And looking at the description that it provided, it wasn\'t half bad.
Clicking [Yes!] I then took it in my hand as I took it out of the scabber before swinging it a couple of times.
\'Nice.\'
Putting it back into the scabbard, I then checked if there were any changes in the [Set Effects!]
[You have equipped all the Equipment of the Set: Grace! Set Effects will be unlocked!]
[Set Effect 1: Blessing of Grace: +30 in all stats!
Set Effect 2: Love of Grace: Your HP and MP will regenerate at the rate of 100 per minute when in non-combat state!
Set Effect 3: +For every Critical Hit done, 10% of the damage will be converted into your Health Points!]
My eyes widened as I looked at the last set effect. A smile appeared on my face as I couldn\'t wait to test out the sword, right now. Although I wasn\'t as proficient in the sword, I think it wasn\'t a bad time to practice it.
Putting the guns back into the [Inventory!], I then switched to the Sword, and began running towards those monsters in front of me.
-Slash!
The sword cut through the neck like butter as its head got separated from the body, before falling on the ground. And moving to the next monster in sight…
-Slash!
Another one fell down.
While the feeling of shooting down the monsters was already good, the way of the sword was something that I was now getting addicted to a bit. Still, I didn\'t try my luck as I began cutting down those monsters around me, trying to understand the best way to use the sword.
Heck, I even used [Accelerated Learning!] to make sure I am doing it the right way. Though perhaps I was just learning by hit and trial method, I soon gave up as the headache from the skill became too much to bear.
[You have mapped 10 Kilometers of area around you!]
[Your [Gift] cartography has been upgraded by 1!]
[Skill: Mapping has been upgraded by 1]
And then with the sudden message I had to pause, as I looked at the [Gift] once again. There was no change in it, as it just stated the same thing as before, except the renewed cost of 50 kilometers. Though the [Mapping skill!] was upgraded by one grade and now, the total distance that can be mapped around me is 200 meters.
\'Hmmm. Why do I feel like there is more to this than I am estimating it to be?\' I had a small doubt in my mind, but to make sure that what I was thinking was correct or not, I needed to check it out first.
Hence, I resumed my hunt, this time trying to aim my hunt in the area where I haven\'t mapped yet.
And about 20 minutes later…
[You have mapped 40 Kilometers in area using the skill [Mapping]]
[The grade of your gift [Cartography] has been increased by 1]
[The Skill: Mapping has been updated!]
[New Skill Unlocked: Perfect Measurement!]
[Skill: Perfect Measurement!
Grade: E (directly depend upon the Grade of the Gift: Cartography)
Effect: Allows the user to perfectly measure the dimension of all 3D objects which he sees!]
I see that [Mapping] now had a distance of 300 meters, while I pressed my chin with my thumb as I realized the type of growth I was going to have with the [Mortal] grade of the gift.
\'It will unlock more skills and upgrade them along with the gift, huh?\' I thought. I didn\'t find it as bad now. Just with the [Perfect Measurement!] skill, I should be able to measure the angle distance of my jumps and attacks. Perhaps later I can even calculate the required amount of mana I need to pour in order to kill a monster?
"All right. Let\'s get it to Grade-6 before the next tutorial starts,\' I thought as I began running once again. My eyes, looking at the system briefly before I began running even faster.

Author\'s note: Hey Everyone, hope you are enjoying the story. I will be creating a discord for it soon. But for now, I will be making some auxiliary chapters for the system stats, weapons, skills etc. This way, I won\'t have to repeat everything all over and just point out the changes whenever I upgrade something.
Please share some power stones, golden tickets. [Gifts if possible? I will publish an extra chapter for every 1000 coins I get. Thank you ]
