Chapter 19 - 19. Two New Skills.

[Congratulations to the host, on participating in your first training session.]

[You've successfully obtained +5 attribute points to all your current attributes.]

[The host has also obtained his first non-combat skill, along with a new resistance skill.]

[Would you like to take a look at your newly acquired skills?]

'What?'

'So, I got rewarded with attribute points for sparring with Sara?'

'Does this mean I'll get rewarded every time I train alone or with someone else?'

'Well, whether or not I will be rewarded every time I train, it still feels amazing to be rewarded with new attribute points.'

'Now, I know I don't solely have to rely on making my mother and sister happy.'

'I can also grow stronger by training and working hard.'

'Hmm, come to think of it, can I also improve my stats by working out?'

'And by working out, I mean doing basic household exercises and stuff like that.'

'I guess I'll have to give it a try in the future.'

'Anyways, I still can't believe just a little sparring yielded such a huge benefit.'

'We barely sparred for more than half an hour, and now, I have an increase of 5 attribute points added to my previous attributes.'

'With an addition of two skills to go along with it.'

'This system is really the best.'

'I wonder how many attribute points I would receive if I were to train for hours.'

'I bet it would be up to ten attribute points each.'

'Well, I guess I'll have to give it a try in my next training session.'

'Honestly, I'm a little bit scared to see just how strong I'll be in the future but at the same time, I'm so excited about it that I can't wait.'

'Of course, my aim remains to simply live a simple and happy life in this supernatural world, but since I might encounter powerful demons and other supernatural beings in the future, I guess it wouldn't hurt to try being strong if I want to enjoy my peaceful and relaxing new life in this world.'

'Oh well, let's check out my two new skills for now.'

Aster redirected his attention back to his rewards, and a new screen appeared before him, displaying the information of his newly acquired skills.

[Congratulations to the host, you've acquired a new resistance skill. {Pain resistance skill}.]

[Pain Resistance skill=> This skill helps to reduce the physical and mental impact of any pain you might sustain during combat, which in turn, allows you to remain composed whether you have a mild or severe injury.]

Looking at the details of his newly acquired skill, Aster was impressed, especially when he thought about the possibilities of having a pain resistance skill.

He knew that with the help of the skill, he would be able to carry out long and intense training sessions in the future.

However, he was also curious to see what his next skill would be.

So, he focused on the screen once again to take a look at its details.

[Congratulations to the host, you've acquired your first non-combat skill. {Appraisal}.]

[Appraisal:=> This skill allows the host to analyze and obtain information about supernatural beings, magical creatures, and items. The quality and accuracy of the information displayed depends on the skill's level and the power gap between the host and his target.]

[Information like name, species, and the general condition of the target will be displayed.]

[Also, the skill may fail to provide complete information if the target possesses a higher power rank than the host.]

[But a higher level of the skill will help unlock a deeper insight into stats, abilities, weaknesses, and hidden traits.]

'An appraisal skill, huh?'

'I can't believe I now have a very popular skill that I've only ever seen in novels and manga.'

'I should try using the skill now.'

After checking out the details of his newly acquired skills, Aster couldn't help but feel eager to try out his new skill, so he swiftly turned to Sara and his eyes gleamed as her profile appeared before him.

'Oh shit, she's what?!!' Aster couldn't believe what he was seeing right now.

He had expected Sara and Cara to be over a hundred years old since they were clearly supernatural beings, but he never could have predicted that she was over a thousand years old.

And yet she had pouted and sulked like a little girl?

'Are all powerful supernatural girls like this?'

'Nah, I'm guessing Sara is just one of a kind.'

'But then again, I don't think I should overlook the dragon queen's playful attitude last night.'

'Anyways, it's amazing how these ladies look so young and lively, despite being over a thousand years old.'

'But if Sara and Cara are over 1800 years old, one could only imagine how old the dragon queen currently is.'

Pushing that aside for now, Aster decided to focus on his bath with Sara.

Once he was done with his bath and had changed into a new set of clothes, Aster left his room to check out what the dragon queen was doing.

She had been in her private study all day and Aster couldn't help but wonder what could have possibly kept her so busy all morning.

He strolled along the vast corridor before stopping in front of a large obsidian door.

*Knock* *Knock*

Aster knocked twice and Vivian's voice emerged from within. "Come in."

Hearing this, Aster pushed the heavy door open before stepping in, and the first thing that caught his eye was the bright, golden light of the chandelier that lit up the entire room.

However, his jaw nearly dropped to the ground when he noticed the towering pile of scrolls that were neatly arranged in one corner of the room.

The scrolls were stacked so high that they were nearly touching the ceiling and from what he could see, Aster noticed how each scroll was sealed with a red wax insignia, hinting that each of them had yet to be opened by the dragon queen.

Meanwhile, on the right side of the room, another set of scrolls was neatly arranged on a wooden shelf, but none of them were sealed, meaning that Vivian had probably opened them and taken a look at what they contained.

Looking back at the dragon queen, Aster could see that Vivian was sitting behind a large desk with two scrolls floating before her.

Each scroll had a floating quill pen that seemed to be inscribing something on it because the quills were moving on their own, and the faint sound of writing filled the room.

He continued staring at the stunning Dragon Queen, but Vivian had yet to lift her head or notice him.

Her mind was completely focused on the scroll in her left hand, and Aster couldn't help but admire how stunning she looked at the moment.

However, he could also see how exhausted she was as well.

'Hmm. Actually, she looks bored rather than exhausted."
