Besides system stones, there were two stones that I had only seen once and have used once. They were evolution stones. While I wanted to covet them, I was actually quite curious about how they would work if I handed one to someone else. For this reason, I called Adel over to me and handed her the stone.

“This is?” Adel looked at the stone in her hand curiously. She flipped it over a few times, but it seemed nothing had happened.

“You see nothing strange about this stone? Your system is not reacting to it?” I asked. I was curious as to why. But I guess that is an answer I will never get.

“No, this looks like a normal stone. Faith, remember, just because it is shiny doesn’t mean it is worth something.” Adel said with a teasing grin, making me purse my lips. Did she really have to go after my shiny obsession!? I reached out and snatched the stone back, and put it into my inventory. Humph! My shinies!

“Haha, you never change! But this is a lot of items….” Adel looked at the pile of items in front of us and sighed in amazement.

“Yes, it is. Wait, what is this ….” I walked over and picked up an item that was not an evolution stone nor a system stone. As soon as I picked it up, a window popped up..

[Skill Randomizer][Consumable]

[Will grant one skill upon consumption.]

[Would you like to consume?]

“Oh? Now, this is interesting.” I said as I read the information that popped up.

“Faith, there are five more here.” Adel said as she picked up five more similar objects that were hidden under some items.

“I will try it first, just to be safe. Adel, get ready to rewind me back if something happens.” Just to be safe, it was better for me to try it to see what it did. With Adel at my side, I had no worries if something went wrong.

“Right. Don’t worry, I will watch over you.” Adel replied. Her aura changed as if she was about to go into battle, which made me chuckle slightly. I looked at the menu before taking a deep breath and hitting the yes button.

[Acquired New Skill: Summon Demon]

“Err….” I looked at the new skill that I just got and wanted to facepalm. Was it because of my demon blood?

“Did it work? Did you get a skill?” Adel asked, her eyes shining with interest. How was I supposed to tell her I suddenly got the ability to summon demons? But really, I am quite interested in said demon.

“I am now able to summon demons….” I said slowly.

“Summon demons?” Adel tilted her head to the side.

“I am not sure I will not know until I try it out. For now, let’s collect all the items and separate them based on type. Systems stone will go to you. But I want two of them for Gesel and Fred. I have a feeling they will dive into dungeons at some point.” I wanted to repay Gesel for her kindness, and as she is someone who would definitely hunt in a dungeon, I wanted to make sure she was prepared to do so.

“Here are two then. Faith, can I use one of these skill stones?” Adel asked. I could tell she really wanted to get a new skill. I helplessly nodded my head. She quickly hit the yes button, and not even a second later, she yelled out: “Ah! I can now control nature!”

“Nature?” I was curious if this was the same thing as what the spirit race could do.

“It just says I can now control plants and other nature related things.” Adel explained. It was probably another one of those skills that needed to be used to really know how it works.

“Alright. I will let you hand out the rest. You can decide who you think should get it or not. After I finish separating items, I will test out this summoning thing. But I will do it in a contained space.” I really wanted to test this out.

“Well, there are four left, and I plan to give Sei, Grace, Sophie, and Sally one as they will always be around you. Don’t worry, I will explain things to the others, so they do not think you are being biased.” Adel said with a smile after she picked up all the stones.

“Then I will leave it to you.” I replied as I began inspecting things. There was so much stuff that it almost took me an hour to make two piles. All the items here were the same as before but with higher stats.

ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ When I was done, I walked back over to the ground to see a very strange sight. An army of skeletons stood behind Grace in an orderly fashion. “This is? Necromancy?”

“Mmm… It was the skill I received.” Grace replied while her upper lip kept twitching.

But to be honest, it was not a bad skill to have. Such a skill could come in handy during a war. While it maybe frowned upon to use the lives of the dead, any power that may be able to turn the tides that is not sacrificing the living could come in handy. But of course, this should only be used on the enemy soldiers and not your fallen allies. It still may sound bad but…. In this world that I live in now, some morals must be overlooked if the odds are against you. But it is actually a perfect spell for a dungeon like this. “Grace, this will come in handy, so do not look so down.”

While I said that to cheer Grace up, she still looked quite down about it. She only nodded her head and sulked. I could only reach out and pat her head. I looked at the others with a curious gaze, and for some reason, Sei turned her head away when my eyes fell on her while blushing. Just seeing her reaction made me very curious as to what skill she got.
