Yeah... This was a mess. Skill Pilfer had stolen a Skill from every person I’d slain, the thing that they were best at while they were still alive. With that in mind, let’s go through everything.
Everything from Swordsmanship to String Arts had gone up a little in levels, but they were still the same Skills I knew. Everything after that was uncharted territory.
Archery, Jo Mastery, Hand-to-Hand Combat, Bludgeoning Arts, Shield Arts, Katana Arts, Spear Arts, and Marksman were Skills that I’d gotten from some of the soldiers. It wasn’t surprising that the levels of both Shield Arts and Spear Arts were raised, with how much the soldiers used those weapons.
Fire Magic, Water Magic, Wind Magic, Earth Magic, Light Magic, and Dark Magic were probably Skills that I had gotten from the mages among the knights. It was weird that they were all at level 1, though.
Mana Manipulation... Wait, did that mean that I could use magic tools now?
Armor Arts gave me pause, because—what did that even mean? What did it do? Could you move more easily while wearing armor? Hm, maybe.
Stance Arts... I had absolutely no clue. Way too obscure.
The fact that I’d gotten Assassination Arts and Hidden Blade meant that there’d probably been an assassin or two in the castle. Interesting...
Cooking, Cleaning, and Laundry had probably come from the servants.
Sewing, Hospitality, Merchant, Mental Math, Memorization, Nursing, Strategist, Penmanship, and Speedwriting had probably come from nobles. I vaguely remembered a strategist or something, but judging by the level that the Skill was at, there had to have been more than one of them. How can strategizing be someone’s best Skill?
Agriculture was a bit of a head-scratcher. Was there a farmer or something in the castle? If so, why?
Parallel Thinking and Speed Reader were honestly very useful Skills. I was surprised by that. Did these come from nobles? Thanks, guys!
Sleight of Hand, though? I’m not a street magician.
And Drunken Rage? Why would I want to fly into a rage?
Sexual Prowess most likely meant that there was a prostitute in the castle. I was conflicted about that. It might come in handy...but did I really need it?
Thought Acceleration and Spatial Awareness were useful Skills that had probably come from knights. A big thank-you to the people who gave these to me. Then again, I already kinda had a Skill for spatial awareness thanks to my Eye of True Sight, so maybe I didn’t really need it.
Party Tricks and Pen Spinning? There were people out there whose greatest talents were these Skills?
Tabletop Gaming? Hm, maybe I could make a game when I was bored.
Gambling wasn’t something I planned to do, but maybe I could apply the Skill to battles or strategies. If that was possible, I was happy to have gotten my hands on it.
Great Fortune was a nice Skill to get. No idea how to raise it, though.
Wait, Misfortune? Wow, really don’t want this Skill. How do I make sure I don’t raise it?
Bad Luck with Women? Not interested in being that kind of protagonist.
Painter and Musician must’ve come from nobles. Compared to their other Skills, these were much more practical.
Architect felt like it might be pretty useful, if combined with Armament Craft.
Singer, Dancer, and Court Etiquette must’ve been other noble Skills. If I ever became a noble, I’d be set... Not that I had plans to do so.
Poker Face was nice to have, but according to Ariya, I already had one.
Side-to-Side Hopping was someone’s best Skill? Kinda made me want to know their life story.
Blink Step, Quickdraw, and Dual Wielding were pretty standard but useful Skills. There must’ve been an elite warrior among the knights.
Bondage... Not interested. Though it might be useful if combined with String Arts.
Flirting and Wink must’ve come from one of the gaudier noble men. Watch out, ladies.
Fake Laughing... Seriously? Again—this was someone’s best Skill?
Self-control sounded kinda rough. What could happen to a guy to make that their best Skill? Well, either way, it seemed like it might be useful.
