Chapter 13: A New Chapter

“Number 124.”

A clear, bright voice that Kane found familiar could be heard.

Stepping into the baptismal hall, he saw that it was Adoma, the Argali girl from yesterday. Adoma was pleasantly surprised to see Kane.

“I didn’t realize it was Mr. Kane. I wondered if you’d forgotten to open the Door of Mist today. After all, for the morning, I’m the only one who holds the ceremony of passing through the Door of Mist.

But there are more people today, so I can’t chat with Mr. Kane. What a pity,” Adoma said regretfully.

No, that’s not a pity.

Following Adoma’s lead, Kane climbed the stone platform to the Door of Mist.

This was a tall, heavy stone doorframe. There were no patterns on it. The five-meter-high door frame was suitable for most intelligent races.

Adoma faced Kane at the foot of the stone platform. “Go straight through the mist door. Once you’re through, you’ll have your own skills.”

Kane took a deep breath and went straight through. Then he crossed to the other side of the door like he was stepping through an ordinary door frame.

But the feeling of passing through the mist door was exactly like the previous entrance to the dungeon.

Adoma seemed to read Kane’s confusion and answered for him. “This Door of Mist is essentially the same thing as the entrance to the dungeon. It belongs to the screening mechanism of the Mist. Going through the Door of Mist was to check exactly what power you are suitable for and if you are qualified for power.”

“What happens if someone who isn’t qualified gets in?” Kane asked curiously.

“If you come through the Door of Mist without clearing the dungeon once, you’ll be kicked out of the other side by the mist. It’s said to feel like you’ve been kicked in the butt.

Moreover, there are rumors that some people even heard the cursing of the mist when they were kicked out,” Adoma whispered to Kane.

“But that’s not important. What’s important is that Mr. Kane doesn’t casually spread information about his skills. He might be used by someone with ulterior motives. There are bad people among the Explorers,” Adoma said indignantly, holding up her small fist.

“Of course. Thank you for your advice, Miss Adoma. I’ll leave you to your work. See you next time.” Kane said goodbye to her.

“Okay, let’s chat next time.”

As Kane left, another shout of “Number 125” came from inside.

Kane walked quickly to his rented room. Although he’d seemed calm just now as he passed through the Door of Mist, he was already feeling very excited.

Because after he passed through the Door of Mist, the Book of Adventure issued a system prompt.

A new chapter meant that the Book of Adventure could turn to a new page. And judging from the introduction, it was a new page that hadn’t been there before. It was impossible not to be excited.

He pushed the door and entered the house, locked the door behind him, and drew the curtains.

He needed to calm down.

Book of Adventure.

As he chanted in his heart and his thoughts came, the wide and simple cover page condensed in the air again.

The first two pages remained unchanged, but the next could be turned.

Gently, he turned to the next page.

In the middle of this page was a round skill slot. A skill had already been embedded in it. Beside the round skill slot were two square skill slots.

There was another copper progress bar at the bottom.

Checking the page’s instructions carefully, it didn’t take long for Kane to fully understand.

Apart from the two square skill boxes on this page, the rest were a direct reflection of the original power of this world.

The skill in the round skill slot was the original skill that was bestowed after passing through the Door of Mist. It could not be removed or replaced.

The skill slots at the side could release Skill Stones. These Skill Stones could enhance the original skill with their own characteristics.

The copper bars at the bottom could be seen as experience bars. When they were full, they turned to silver. Kane’s magic would then turn to silver.

He checked out the original skill in the middle.

[Name: Transparent Plasticine]

[Type: Origin Skill]

[Color: Copper]

[Description: Spend magic power within a two-meter radius and mix the air to create a ball of ‘transparent plasticine’. Spend magic power to mold it into the shape you want. Once it leaves a two-meter radius, it will continue to dissipate within a minute.]

[Introduction: A skill specially created by the Mist for his warrior, Kane. It is also a compensation for the descendants of the sacrificed.]

[Strengthening Grid 1: Empty]

[Strengthening Grid 2: Empty]

[Magic Experience Bar: Copper 66%]

The introduction of this Origin Skill was very informative.

Therefore, the original owner was a descendant of the victims. There was a high chance that the victims were the parents of the original owner.

After all, in his memory, his parents had died in the dungeon. Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that they were big shots. It was just that his original body did not know about it.

But never mind, he decided not to think further.

Without more specific information, these things would only add to his worries.

He should try this original skill first.

As his magic drained away, a transparent lump of soft mud appeared on his hand. Kane couldn’t see it, but he could feel its presence.

He activated his Eagle Eye. Sure enough, a light blue ball of magic appeared out of thin air on his hand.

It was transparent on the outside, but did it have a magical reaction? It was useless against opponents who could sense magic power.

However, there were very few people who could sense magic. Those who could sense magic for as long as Kane could were even fewer.

Using some more magic, the transparent plasticine rolled and twisted in his hand, finally turning into a dagger.

He gripped the dagger and stabbed it hard at the table, the tip sinking into the wood. The strength of the plasticine was tied to the input of magic power. That little bit of magic power a while ago had just been used up after this attack.

The transparent dagger that was stabbed into the wooden table had already weakened, based on Kane’s perception.

He wanted to see if he could use the material to harden the plasticine.

As he used the skill, Kane could feel the dagger hardening, but it remained transparent.

On the other hand, it would take about five times more magic power to strengthen the plasticine itself to the hardness of steel than to directly use material changes to harden it.

Then create the lowest-strength Plasticine and then shape it using material changes to strengthen it. Only such a skill combination could maximize combat power.

The diversity of skills and the strength of the combination could make Kane’s power soar.

Only by learning to use cheats reasonably could he act like a cheat.

Now Kane had Eagle Eye for tracking and scouting, Spider Silk for movement and control, Plasticine for surprise attacks and ambushes. These skills were being converted with materials.

Without a powerful Skill-stone, Kane would be using this set for a long time.

After experimenting with the new skills and sorting out his attack methods, he had to start preparing his belongings to go to the dungeon.

Some simple medicine and bandages. As for why he didn’t use magic potions, he could not afford them.

This time, he did not bring much food. It was not a new dungeon, so he could return without clearing it.

He strapped on his leather backpack and held it to cover the sky.

He arrived at the teleportation station beside the Explorer’s Home and spent five gold coins to buy a teleportation ticket to the dungeon of the Trade Path Ruins.

He handed the ticket to the staff member beside the teleportation stone and stood on the teleportation platform.

A burst of blue light teleported him away.
