Level 2 Player

Skill Synthesis

‘Regrettable.’

Ant Devourer Colony Summon skill.

‘I used it in a hurry.’

And I fixed the level at 122 too.

‘If there had been leeway, I would have considered slowly.’

There was no such leeway.

‘The position overlaps too much with Dragon Tooth Soldier.’

Rather, if learned with the dark-type status window, it could have supplemented the insufficient numbers which is a disadvantage of the Shadow Summons.

‘At that time, that was the best.’

Without the ice-attribute skills and Dragon Tooth Soldier skill possessed by the Ice Dragon Mage, he couldn’t overcome that crisis.

‘Also, the Shadow Summons were in a state where summoning was impossible due to cooldown.’

If he had switched the status window out of a small desire to consider efficiency and the Ice Barrier blocking the entrance had extinguished, he wouldn’t have been able to handle the surging Ant Devourers.

Then that place could have become Jin-su’s grave.

‘It’s already a past matter. Don’t regret it.’

Obsessing over unchangeable things only yields emotions like depression and frustration.

‘I obtained quite a lot of class change books and skill books too.’

The regrettable point was that there wasn’t even one class change book of a level that fills Jin-su’s eyes.

‘The Blood Demon Swordsman also needs to be replaced gradually.’

The advantages of the existing class skills were regrettable. But one must know when to boldly discard to grow more.

‘Well, precisely thanks to the blessings.’

Jin-su checked the grown blessings.

‘All increased to 42.2%. The level fix also rose.’

He could make 122 class and common active skills and passive skills Level 222.

‘Really enormous.’

It feels like only yesterday he was worrying about which skill to make Level 22 because of only 2 T.O., but now there was no need for such worries.

‘Even if I make all the skills I possess Level 222, T.O. will remain for a long time.’

A satisfied smile naturally bloomed at the corners of Jin-su’s mouth.

‘The equipped item level fix also rose to 122 items at Level 222.’

Jin-su immediately made the Ring of Resurrection and Shining Longsword Level 222. The Bloodsucking Sword had already exceeded Level 222 through its own growth, so there was no need to use it.

‘Now it’s become a bit usable.’

The cooldown of the Resurrection skill reduced to 1 hour, and quite large injuries also became treatable.

‘When will the Shining Longsword change into the White Heaven Divine Sword?’

It felt like it was still far away.

‘Well, since the possessed skills increased and the power also strengthened.’

If only the blessings grow, someday he can make it into the White Heaven Divine Sword, so now he could wait leisurely.

‘Did a blessing exclusive skill arise this time?’

Last growth, a blessing that can fix the only 1 blessing exclusive skill 22 of them at Level 122 arose. If this time that increased from 122 to Level 222, it seemed really frustrating.

-Skill Synthesis has been created.

‘Synthesis?’

It was a type of skill name he was hearing for the first time in his life even combining the memories before the regression.

‘It’s a blessing exclusive skill.’

Jin-su’s eyes flashed. Finally, the blessing exclusive skills increased by one more.

‘Exactly what kind of skill is it.’

Jin-su checked the detailed information of the Synthesis skill.

[Synthesis - Level 2]

-Active skill.

-When used, synthesizes 2 skills into one.

-The skill selected as the material of synthesis extinguishes.

-If synthesis fails, the skill selected as the material extinguishes.

-Synthesis skills cannot be used as materials for synthesis.

-Accumulated stacks: 2.

-Stack cooldown: 22 hours.

‘It synthesizes 2 skills into one?’

The scary point was that whether success or failure, the skill that became the material extinguishes as is.

‘First, let’s raise the level.’

Jin-su used the blessing exclusive skill level fix stack to make the Synthesis skill Level 122. Then the accumulated stacks increased to 122 and the cooldown reduced to 2 hours.

Along with that, two changes arose.

‘It informs the synthesis success probability and result in advance?’

Jin-su chose Ice Arrow and Ice Barrier as the targets of the Synthesis skill.

[Do you wish to synthesize skill Ice Arrow and skill Ice Barrier? Success probability 6.22%. Upon success, synthesis skill Ice Barrier Arrow is created.]

[Yes.] [No.]

‘Naturally no.’

Jin-su chose ‘No’. The success probability is only 6.22%. Who would do this?

Even if it succeeds, the result didn’t look very promising.

‘Ice Barrier Arrow? Does it mean I can shoot the Ice Barrier like an arrow?’

It didn’t look particularly useful.

‘Let’s try something else.’

Jin-su combined existing skills and checked the success probability.

[Do you wish to synthesize skill Ice Arrow and skill Ice Piercing Arrow? Success probability 100%. Upon success, synthesis skill Ice Piercing Arrow is created.]

[Yes.] [No.]

‘Although 100%, this is rather a loss.’

Synthesizing Ice Arrow and Ice Piercing Arrow and Ice Piercing Arrow comes out? Then just the Ice Arrow skill disappears and there is no benefit at all.

‘Well, the attack power of the synthesis skill might rise compared to the existing skill.’

Whether that is a meaningful level couldn’t be known. In the worst case, it could be the same power as the existing Ice Piercing Arrow or even lower.

‘Synthesis doesn’t unconditionally produce a good result.’

Like the case of Ice Barrier Arrow, a bizarre skill could arise.

In that aspect, raising the Synthesis skill to Level 122 was an excellent choice. Because not only stacks and cooldown increase, but he could also know the success probability and result.

‘How about this?’

[Do you wish to synthesize skill Dragon Tooth Soldier and skill Ant Devourer Colony Summon? Success probability 92%. Upon success, synthesis skill Dragon Tooth Soldier Colony Summon is created.]

[Yes.] [No.]

‘The success probability is high.’

The problem was the identity of the skill called Dragon Tooth Soldier Colony Summon.

‘It would be good if I could know even the detailed information.’

There was no way to know that.

‘Let’s put it on hold.’

Both Dragon Tooth Soldier and Ant Devourer Colony Summon are good skills. If a good result comes out, it’s fortunate, but if not, it’s a serious problem.

Even if it succeeds and the Dragon Tooth Soldier skill becomes stronger, if it changes to a form where dragon race monster teeth are consumed every time the skill is used?

‘An economic problem arises.’

Until the level of the blessing skill Synthesis rises and more certain information can be known, putting it on hold seemed good.

Jin-su used the skills he possessed as synthesis materials this way and that and examined the success probability and created skills.

‘There’s nothing particularly that stands out.’

It felt like obtaining a skill like a chicken rib. Then suddenly this thought arose.

‘Is this also possible?’

Jin-su tried using the class skill Ice Arrow of the Ice Dragon Mage and the common skill Magic Arrow skill as materials.

[Do you wish to synthesize skill Ice Arrow and skill Magic Arrow? Success probability 98%. Upon success, synthesis skill Enhanced Ice Arrow is created.]

[Yes.] [No.]

‘It’s possible?’

Synthesis of class skill and common skill was possible.

‘Let’s try.’

If Ice Arrow disappears, it’s a bit regrettable, but it’s not a big penalty. In the case of Magic Arrow, just buy one skill book and learn it again. The price of the Magic Arrow skill book was quite cheap.

‘A test is needed.’

Jin-su chose Yes for the first time.

[You have succeeded in skill synthesis.]

[You have acquired synthesis skill Enhanced Ice Arrow.]

Jin-su looked at the status window.

‘Jackpot.’

Jin-su’s face brightened.

A separate synthesis skill window arose in the status window. And the synthesis skill Enhanced Ice Arrow was settled in the synthesis skill window, not the class skill or common skill.

‘The level is important.’

Ice Arrow was Level 222 and Magic Arrow was Level 2. What is the level of the Enhanced Ice Arrow that synthesized the two? It could be Level 2, Level 22, or Level 222.

‘It’s Level 222.’

It followed the higher level.

‘If one changes class to a higher class, the skills of the existing class extinguish as is.’

That is common sense.

‘What about synthesis skills?’

If they don’t extinguish even if changing class to a higher class? If they remain as is?

‘It’s a complete jackpot.’

There is no need to give up the skills of the existing class whose levels were fixed.

‘Extremely speaking, if I make all the Ice Dragon Mage class skills into synthesis skills and change class to a class like Flame Dragon Mage?’

He might be able to use ice-attribute and fire-attribute magic attack skills at the same time.

‘That’s not the end.’

Among common skills, there are skills with acquisition restrictions. The Purification Flame Jin-su learned is precisely such a case.

‘Purification Flame is a mage exclusive skill.’

If changing class to a class other than mage, it is normal for it to extinguish as is.

‘If I make Purification Flame into a synthesis skill and change class to a class like healer or assassin, what will happen?’

He doesn’t know the result yet. But if it remains as is without extinguishing?

‘He might be able to use the mage’s magic attack skills while possessing a warrior class.’

That’s not the end.

He might be able to possess all the core skills of other classes like the healer’s recovery, the tanker’s protection, the assassin’s stealth.

‘I have to check immediately.’

However, to do so, he had to change the status window.

‘The Ice Dragon Mage is a class that can still be used for a long time.’

In the case of the Blood Demon Swordsman, he was considering the replacement timing from the start.

‘Because it’s a class with good compatibility with the Bloodsucking Sword, I didn’t think of it urgently.’

If he could maintain the core skills of the Blood Demon Swordsman as is, there was no problem even if he changed immediately.

Jin-su switched the status window to dark-type.

‘As expected, the synthesis skill made in the holy-type status window is not maintained.’

Since it’s a skill created by the blessing, he had an expectation that it might be maintained even if the status window changes, but it seemed it was too much of a thief’s mindset.

‘First, let’s make synthesis skills.’

Jin-su first entered searching for the skill that best matches the main skill Bloodsucking of the Blood Demon Swordsman.

[Do you wish to synthesize skill Bloodsucking and skill Blood Blade? Success probability 46%. Upon success, synthesis skill Bloodsucking Blade is created.]

[Yes.] [No.]

‘This isn’t it.’

He thought the success probability would be high because they’re the same class skills. But it wasn’t at all. Jin-su continuously tried to mix various skills with the Bloodsucking skill.

‘The success probability of the Dragon Tooth Soldier skill and Ant Devourer Colony Summon skill was enormously high.’

The synthesis success probability of the Bloodsucking skill and other skills was mostly below 50%. At most, only about 60%.

‘I thought too easily.’

However, as a result of checking the success probability in advance, he could obtain some information.

‘The synthesis success probability of active skills and passive skills is almost close to zero.’

Almost unconditionally, the success probability was less than 1%.

‘Even if the same attribute, if the type of skill is too extreme, it’s below 10%.’

Ice Arrow and Ice Barrier were such a case.

‘To raise the success probability, one must synthesize skills that are as similar as possible.’

The Dragon Tooth Soldier skill and Ant Devourer Colony Summon skill have the common point of being the same summon-type skills.

Ice Arrow and Ice Piercing Arrow are practically the same skill differing only in power. Ice Arrow and Magic Arrow can also be seen as the same skill differing only in attribute.

A slightly regretful feeling arose.

‘This means that in the end, the skills that can be synthesized are fixed.’

Mixing fire-attribute skills and ice-attribute skills or mixing attack skills and defense skills was the same as gambling aiming for a miracle.

‘It might be because the level is still low.’

The blessing skill Synthesis is still only Level 122.

‘There is plenty of growth possibility.’

Not only growing to Level 222 like class or common skills, but also whether the blessing skill level can be fixed at 922 like the stats became 922.

‘If the level rises more, synthesizing extreme skills might become possible.’

Of course, not right now.

‘For now, let’s go safely.’

Jin-su continuously struggled to raise the synthesis success probability of Bloodsucking and other skills.

‘Bloodsucking is such a unique skill that it becomes a problem.’

Jin-su compared the synthesis success probability of the Bloodsucking skill with the skills he possessed while worrying whether he should buy a new skill book.

‘Do I have to try this?’

Only one skill whose synthesis success probability he hadn’t checked remained. It was the Shadow Summon skill.

‘There is no common point except that it’s an active skill.’

It seemed the success probability would be below 10% just by looking.

‘Still, let’s check once.’

Anyway, it was the last one. Jin-su checked the synthesis success probability of the Bloodsucking skill and Shadow Summon skill.

“Huh?”

Jin-su’s expression was dyed with surprise.

[Do you wish to synthesize skill Bloodsucking and skill Shadow Summon? Success probability 82%. Upon success, synthesis skill Bloodsucking Shadow Summon is created.]

[Yes.] [No.]

“82%?”

An enormously high probability came out.
