Free Web NovelChapter 46: Chapter46-Telekinesis (Edited)
"What about Reality Warping?"
[Not possible.]
Damn it.
"Time Manipulation?"
[Not possible.]
"Wormholes? Regeneration?"
[Not possible.]
"What about..."
...
Every answer was the same.
It went on like that for several minutes. I kept rattling off skill names, one after another, each more desperate than the last. The system kept shutting me down without hesitation.
After five solid minutes of constant rejection, I finally gave up. I sank into the backseat like a corpse, completely deflated.
I was done. My heart couldn’t take any more.
I’d never been rejected this many times by anyone in my entire life. Not even in my previous one.
Rejections sucked.
I couldn’t help but think about those guys who got rejected by girls a thousand times and somehow kept going, kept trying with someone new.
How did they manage it?
I could barely handle a few rejections from a system, and they just brushed it off like it was nothing.
Those guys had to have hearts made of steel.
Eventually, I forced myself back on track.
There was one skill left worth asking about. Just one more attempt.
The skill I had in mind was risky. Extremely risky. Probably the hardest skill to master in existence.
Telekinesis.
It was one of the top ten rarest skills in the world, sitting right alongside Teleportation. Actually, it was even rarer than that. Based on what I remembered from Michael’s memories, Telekinesis only appeared in dungeons ranked SS or higher. That alone showed just how scarce it was.
Rarity wasn’t the real issue though. The real problem was mastery.
The skill was notoriously difficult to control. So difficult, in fact, that only one person in the entire world had managed to master it completely. He was a Dominator rank hunter now, famous across all of Ambrosia. The guildmaster of Blitzkrieg, the current number one ranked guild.
This was a massive gamble. If I took this skill, I’d either become insanely strong in the future or end up mediocre at best. There was no middle ground.
I really hoped for the former.
I took a breath and reached out to the system. "System, what about Telekinesis?"
Silence.
The system didn’t respond right away, and my stomach sank. Not another rejection. Please, not another one.
Then a screen flickered into view inside my mind.
[Host, analysis complete. Based on current calculations, acquiring the Telekinesis skill is feasible. Your body possesses sufficient tolerance to withstand the skill’s aftereffects. Conclusion: Telekinesis is a compatible skill option.]
Relief flooded through me the moment I read those words.
"Haa..."
Finally. One acceptance after endless rejections.
If this had been turned down too, I would’ve had no choice but to settle for something weaker. Something safer.
Then the system spoke again.
[Host, but one thing I must inform you: you cannot replace your Seer’s Eye skill with Telekinesis.]
I went rigid. "What? Why not? Why can’t I replace Seer’s Eye?"
[Sorry, Host. That is because there is a limitation on Skill Change Cards.]
My chest tightened. Don’t tell me it can’t replace high rank skills.
[No, Host, it is not like that. It simply cannot replace SSS rank skills.]
Damn it.
What the hell was going on today? Nothing was working the way I wanted it to.
I clenched my jaw. "Wait. Why didn’t you mention that earlier? When I first got the card, you said I could replace any skill I have with anything I want. Was that wrong? Did you lie?"
[Host, it was not wrong. I did not lie when I said you can replace any skill you have with anything you want using a Skill Change Card.]
"Then what’s the problem? Why can’t you replace my Seer’s Eye?"
[Host, it appears you misunderstood. I did not say I cannot replace your Seer’s Eye skill. I said you cannot do it right now because, given your current rank, your body is placing a limitation on the Skill Change Card. The limitation comes from you, not the card.]
***
Fuck... no way...
Now that I think about it, it’s true, he never once said he can’t replace... freewebnøvel.com
It was me who assumed in the first place...
Fucking shit!
Now, what?
What should I do now?
If I can’t replace my seer’s eye that leaves me with only one option.
Teleportation skill..
Fuck, There is no way, I am replacing my Teleportation skill. It will come extremely handy in the near future..
Then, what?
Wait!
A sudden thought crossed my head.
I quickly asked the system, "System, will the Skill change card will be with me forever? I mean, can I use it once I reach Iron rank? For now, can I keep it with me?"
Hmm... this should work given that if I can keep the Triple rank upgrade card with me then as the upgraded version of it, this card should also work the same way.
Yeah, that was the only way I could think off without losing my Teleportation skill.
This way, once I reach Iron rank, I will just get a random low quality skill and, then replace it with Telekinesis.
Fuck, by doing this I will not only have Teleportation but Telekinesis also.
And, plus, on the future, if I fail to master Telekinesis, I don’t have to worry about becoming mediocre given that with my Teleportation skill, I will still be very strong...
Fucking yes, good idea...
Just when I was busy thinking about this, suddenly system said.
[No, host! Skill change card will not be there with you once you ascend your rank! It’s for limited time only!]
What? No way... again...
I then said, "Fucking system, Why did You didn’t tell that before?"
The system said.
[Host, For this I am sorry!]
Fuck your sorry...
Shitty system.
I cursed at system for a few moments, before calming down..
Fuck, now, I have no choice...
I have to do it now!
If I don’t use the skill change card now, then I will never get the chance to use it.
Fuck... my day is really bad today.
Maybe the worst day after transmigrating in to this world!
Anyway, leaving that aside...
Let’s do it!
I then said in my head, "System, do it! Replace my "Teleportation" with "Telekinesis"!]
Then a holographic screen appeared in front of me.
[Using the Skill Change Card!]
[Initiating!]
[Replacing the host "Teleportation" Skill with requested "Telekinesis"!]
[Processing...]
[2%... 23%... 60%... 81%... 94%... 100%]
[Congratulations, Host! Your S rank "Teleportation" have been successfully replaced by B rank "Telekinesis"]
"Fuck, that’s not a congratulations thing."
I said to the system before carefully reading the messages on the Virtual screen...
After reading, I was a bit confused right now...
Hmmm... what’s going on? Why did I get a B rank Telekinesis skill?
I mean, I replaced an S rank skill so, I should get an equal S rank skill as replacement, right?
Or am I missing something?
While I was pondering about this, Suddenly the system said,
[Host, the reason you didn’t receive an S rank Telekinesis skill is because even at B rank, Telekinesis is comparable to S rank Teleportation in terms of strength!]
Oh my goodness...
The moment I heard it I was surprised but only for a moment...
Hmm... right... Now that I think about it, Telekinesis is actually very strong even in low ranks so, it’s kind of understandable but still I never expected a B rank telekinesis to be on par with an S rank Teleportation.
Now, that’s amazing...
Maybe my day is not too bad after all...
Anyway, leaving that aside...
I then quickly said in my mind, "Character Profile."
Then a virtual screen appeared in front of my face with information.

I then clicked on the skill option in the human racial abilities section...
Then, another screen appeared with my two skills name...
—
1] Seer’s Eye (SSS)
2] Telekinesis (B+)
—
I then quickly clicked on the Telekinesis name and then a screen appeared with all the details about the skill written on it.
—
(Telekinesis)
[Specific: Metal]
[Allows the user to manipulate metallic objects with mental force. Metal can be lifted, moved, pushed, pulled, or controlled remotely. The weight and precision of control depend on the user’s mental strength and skill mastery.]

[Limitation: It can only lift 500 metallic objects at a same time.]]
[After Effects: Depend on the user’s mental capacity.] freewebnøvel.coɱ

The moment the screen appeared, I quickly started reading it...
After reading it for a minute, slowly a smile formed on my lips...
Hmm, 500 objects? Not bad...
Heck, too good actually...
I can already imagine myself controlling 500 swords and killing an Elite rank beast with it within a few seconds...
Damn, what a good skill...
But, the smile on my face vanished when I quickly realised how hard it would be to master it...
Hmm, I currently don’t know how many objects I can control at the same time...
Once I come or return or land at the mansion, I have to quickly check it as soon as possible...
Anyway, leaving that aside...
I don’t think I can control more than 5 objects with my current mental capacity...
I may be wrong... it can be a bit more but I don’t think I would have any problem controlling 5 swords at one time...
I mean, I definitely can’t be that bad, right?
