Chapter 83: New Skill Unlocked
Aamir lay on his bed, one arm folded behind his head, eyes fixed on the floating crimson system panel hovering silently above him. It cast a faint glow that flickered in the dim moonlight seeping through the window. His roommates were fast asleep, their breathing calm and steady—except for Seenu, who let out soft, bear-like snores every now and then. But Aamir wasn’t ready to sleep just yet.
His eyes scanned the glowing interface floating above him. Several new sections had appeared since his last breakthrough, each shimmering with a faint golden lock symbol. Curiosity sparked in his chest. He tapped on one at random.
Skill: Combine (Locked)
"Huh? Combine?"
He leaned up slightly, squinting. The skill icon pulsed with a mysterious aura. When he tapped the information symbol beside it, lines of text began to ripple across the screen, unfolding like an ancient scroll.
Description:
Allows the user to merge two compatible techniques, skills, or system-bound items. Only elements approved by the system can be combined. The results vary based on rank, synergy, and user affinity.
Aamir’s eyebrows raised, genuinely intrigued.
"Combining techniques? That’s... actually amazing," he whispered.
The possibilities raced through his mind—offense with defense, speed with strength, elements with martial styles. He could create something entirely new. His excitement grew until he reached the bottom of the panel... and saw the price.
