Necromancer Of The Shadows



"A skill book"  Evan's eyes widened as he saw a book with golden lustre inside the storage ring.

Even though he never used a skill book before, he knew how they looked from the images he saw on the internet. 

He quickly took out the book, and it appeared in his hand.

The book's cover was golden in colour with a small clock engraved on the front side of it. 

"Never thought that I will get a skill book from her storage ring" Evan muttered while looking at its details. 

---) Time Dilation-: This skill alters the perception of time for you, making everything around you appear slower while you retain your normal speed. This ability can be us for strategic planning, evading attacks, or executing precise manoeuvres.

Evan read the details of the skill and a big smile blooms on his face. 

If this was a normal skill he would have sold it to get something good in return, since unlike others he can get skills without even using skill books. 

But after reading the details Evan immediately made up his mind. 

There is no way he will sell a skill like this. 

With this skill, he will have an easier time while fighting. 

He will be able to analyze the attack of the enemy more clearly, and can take precise measurements against it. 

Evan followed the instructions he read on the internet about how to use a skill book. 

He hold the skill book in his hand and started to pour his mana into it. 

Just as Evan started to pour mana into the book its golden coloured cover lit up. 

Slowly the books turned into mots of golden light and was absorbed by his body. 

Evan felt a strange energy circulating inside his body, but he didn't resist it because he didn't feel any kind of threat from it. 

After a few seconds, the energy circulating inside him started to disappear. 

(You have learned the skill 'Time Dilation') 

Just as the energy disappeared a notification appeared before him. 

Seeing he successfully learned a useful skill Evan nodded his head and was about to look at other things in the storage ring when another notification appeared before him. 

(Time Dilation and Haste skills are compatible with each other) 

(Do you want to merge both skills into one?) 

  [Yes/No]

Evan looked at the notifications with a stunned look for a moment before he pressed yes with an eager look on his face. 

Till now he merged two skills, and both of them turned out to be on a completely different level than the other skills. 

Time dilation is already a high level skill, he wanted to see what will happen after it will merge with the haste skill. 

Just like every time, his monarch core started to rotate when he pressed yes. 

He felt his mana being drained at rapid speed, but now that he was at C rank his mana reserves were also very high when compared to before so it did not affect him much.

After some time his core started to slow down.

With anticipation filled eyes Evan waited for the details of his new skills. 

Soon his core returned to normal and stopped rotating. 

(You have learned the skill 'TEMPORAL VELOCITY') 

---) Temporal Velocity -: This skill will alter your perception of time, making everything around you appear slower while increasing your agility by thirty percent at the same time.

Evan read the details of the skill and found everything was the same except for one thing. 

Even though there was only one change, this single change was more than enough to put a big smile on his face. 

"Previously the skill was just increasing my perception of time allowing me to see everything in slow motion. But if my body can't react fast enough there is no point in seeing everything around you in slow motion. But with the increase of thirty percent in my agility it will be even easier for me to react according to enemy attack" Evan said while rubbing his chin. 

He stood up from the bed and picked up the storage ring of Layla. 

After standing up, he lightly threw the storage ring upward and at the same time activated the Temporal Velocity skill. 

When he activated the skill, the world around him slowed down, as he watched the ring he threw in the air move upwards in slow motion. 

The ring continues to move before hitting the ceiling of the room. 

After hitting the ceiling the ring started to fall down, but Evan felt it was falling very slowly. 

He felt like he was controlling the time around him to slow down the world, but in reality, it was just his mind which was processing everything around him very fast so that he can see everything slowly.

The ring slowly came down after hitting the ceiling, he moved his hand forward and easily caught the ring. 

After catching the ring he stopped using temporal velocity, and the world around him returned to normal. 

"Perfect," Evan said after seeing the effect of the skill. 

But when he saw the mana consumption of the skill he smiled warily. 

"The mana consumption of this skill is even higher than the shadow walk skill," Evan said while sitting down once again. 

Even though the mana consumption of the skill was quite high he did not care about it, since the effect of the skill was way better than he expected. 

After sitting down Evan once again looked inside the ring to see what other treasures were this ring was hiding.

"Useless, useless, useless" Evan continue to say as he saw many useless things inside the ring.

Most of the things inside her ring were documents related to her guild which was completely useless to him.

After just finding useless things for some time, Evan was attracted by a small thing sitting at the corner of the storage ring.

He felt the thing looks somewhat familiar.

"What is this?" Evan muttered and took out that small thing from the storage ring.
