Chapter 7. Awakening from Life (7)
The Swinging Randomly skill was at Lv. 8. At first glance, it seemed decent, but it wasn't labeled as swordsmanship because it wasn't a proper skill. Rather, it was just wild, inefficient swinging.
The other skills were similarly lacking: Poorly Blocking, Adequately Digging Holes, and Throwing Whatever Is at Hand—all of them lacked power and effectiveness. To transform these into proper skills, I needed to combine and level them up, but even that wasn't easy.
Gaining skill experience was difficult because it only increased by attacking and killing someone with those actions. However, there were hardly any beings weaker than a Skeleton Soldier. So, if a skeleton soldier were to attempt anything, it often resulted in leveling up the opponent instead. The opportunity to acquire proper skills was incredibly appealing.
Although blunt weapon resistance might have been more practical than dagger skills, my desire to acquire a real attack skill was stronger. After failing to land a proper hit on the man with the hammer, the urge for an attack skill became all the more compelling.

I felt like I knew how to handle any type of dagger. Suddenly, my hand felt empty, as if I should've been holding one. The next thing to do was to allocate both remaining points to Agility.
[Agility: 18 —> 20]
I checked the status window.
