- Chapter 3 - Ability Testing (1)
A few days have passed since that eventful day happened.
I was standing in front of a full-length mirror.
Looking at it, I saw a petite boy with black hair and blue eyes, untypical of a noble.
“Status.”
I tried saying those words I’ve read in typical web novels, and a status window appeared in front of me.
[Name: Kryon von Aurus.
Level: 1
Gender: Male
Age: 14
Job: None
Skills: Creation Magic(Rank 1), All-Seeing Eye (Rank 1), Camouflage (Rank Max)
Condition: Healthy]
Kryon von Aurus. That was the name of this body that I am currently inside now.
Based on what I gathered from books and memories from this body, I was the 12th son of the king with a commoner maid.
Because I was the concubine’s son, I lived separately in a small villa a few miles from the castle.
Kryon’s-My mother died when I was very young to remember her face. Based on records, she committed suicide. Maybe she was harassed by the other wives and was stressed out, leading to her death.
From then on, Hans, the old butler, was tasked by the king to raise me in this secluded villa.
I was fortunate enough to be alive, thanks to him.
The current king, Alexander Augustus von Aurus XIII, was considered one of the greatest. The fight for the throne in his era was one of the bloodiest competitions recorded in history.
During 14, all children undergo a ceremony where a priest uses the [Judgment] skill to know the child’s talent.
Just a month ago, my coming-of-age ceremony took place.
Since I have the [Camouflage] skill, it could have hidden my abilities, and the priest must have thought I had no acquired skills. Most of the evaluators only have [Judgment (Rank 6)] and probably failed to detect my abilities, deeming me incompetent.
I can be considered the only fault that King Alexander had. For being incompetent and talentless, as well as having a commoner’s origin.
The coming-of-age ceremony was the last opportunity for me, but it turned out that I had no skills.
Thus, the king probably had no choice but to send me to a faraway village – to be left there to rot and die.
‘But I won’t give up! I will do my damn best to live and survive’.
I need to learn how to use and control my skills to achieve that.
I will live my life in whatever way I want.
———————-
The next day, I started trying out my skills.
“[Camouflage].“
I tried self-casting it. Afterward, I tried going out of the room. There were no people in the hallway, so I went to the kitchen, where people should be at this time of the day.
I quietly took a slice of cake placed on the countertop.
“Kyaaa! G-G-Ghost!”
When the maid saw me getting a slice of cake, she shouted this. She then ran away, calling for the head butler.
I was startled by the maid’s voice, which made me drop the cake plate. I took a minor injury from this.
After that, the maid returned to the scene with Hans in tow.
“Y-young master? Are you okay? Quickly call for the doctor!”
Hans saw my injured finger. It looked like my [Camouflage] ability was canceled upon my injury.
But the most important thing was that the ability was successfully self-casted.
“I can do a lot of stuff with these. Fuehehe~.”
After that, I tried experimenting more with [Camouflage].
I found out that the duration was around 10 mins, which gets deactivated upon injury, get exhausted, or if I cancel it. Whatever I was holding at the time of casting will also get invisible. But to keep it hidden, I always needed physical contact with it. Lastly, I can cast it only three times a day.
It looked like casting [Camouflage] three times a time takes a heavy toll on my body. I felt exhausted after the third time. I was glad that I knew of it. Otherwise, this could have been dangerous.
There could be something like mana* power required to cast it.
*****************************
After a few days of experimenting with [Camouflage], the next one I tested was the [All-Seeing Eye].
“Young Master, did you call for me?”
I called for Hans to start with the experiment and then activated the skill.
After calling the skill name, a window-type screen appeared on his head.
[Name: Hans
Level: 112
Gender: Locked (Rank too low)
Age: Locked (Rank too low)
Job: Butler, Locked (Rank too low)
Skills: Locked (Rank too low)
Condition: Very Healthy]
“Ugh!!!”
“Young Master!!!”
A sudden headache attacked me. I hastily canceled the [All-Seeing Eye] skill.
The difference level was too high. It looked like I needed to level up [All-Seeing Eye] first.
But even age and gender were locked?
Who on earth is Hans?
From Kryon’s memory, Hans is a coward who flees at the second danger is imminent. But was it all an act?
I need to be careful around him until I get some things clear.
After that, I tried using the skill with the maids, and it activated properly with no issues.
[Name: Maria
Level: 1
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Job: Maid
Skills: Cleaning (Rank Max)
Condition: Stressed]
The maid who got scared when I used the camouflage skill was named Maria.
Maybe due to the previous event, she always looked on her toes.
Sorry for that, Maria!
Afterward, the last and important thing to test was my unique skill, [Creation Magic].
