Veronica saw her new unlocked abilities as she felt a boost in her stats and power.

??

These new abilities seemed to give her a few extra effects to her already existing abilities, such as enhancing her Gluttony Skill, giving her a boost in power by the cost of consuming her vast soul, or acquiring power from the beings she slain.

However, she hoped she could have some power over the activation of Bitter Anger, as she did not want to casually begin to consume her soul just to get a powerup whenever she got a bit angry…

But it seemed that she could manage if she kept a cold head.

…Which might be hard due to Veronica's emotions, which were often way too strong.

"No, no, I am fine… everything will be okay… Now, should I keep spending more Skill Points now…?" wondered Veronica, as she munched on a grilled fish.

"I guess not, I have to save them up for now… phew, time to relax with everyone else now, too much System stuff makes me feel like I am inside a game or something," sighed Veronica, as she looked at her status for the last time.

"Oh, everything increased a crap ton, my Mana is nearing 1 billion! Nice, I am not losing this mana race, Ervas! …Eh?"

Ding!

[The Level of the [Appraisal: Level 9] Skill has increased!]

[The [Appraisal: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Wisdom: Level -] Skill!]

"Wisdom?!"

[Wisdom: Level -/-]

The awakened version of the Appraisal Ability was created by the God Hekaton and inserted into the empty frame within the user's soul.

After becoming a part of the user's Soul, Appraisal has recached the power to discern anything and had evolved into a greater, divine-like state alongside the soul of its wielder.

Upon awakening, it has been renamed as wisdom, the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment.

This skill grants the user the ability to discern surface information of anything in the user's range of perception.

"This…"

Veronica quickly tried out the Skill, easily finding out a lot of hidden information that she did not have access to yet, such as the exact number of EXP she needed to level up, the amount of EXP that a small fish gave which was swimming near Wellerman, the information about the fish she was eating and even its "hidden properties" such as enhancement in stats due to having been cooked by someone with a high level of Cooking Skill (Gaius), and more.

It was as if a completely new gate to knowledge and information had appeared within her range of perception, something that no one else had…

Veronica remembered that she had wished several times that Appraisal would not have been her cheat ability, but now that it has come to this point, she could only feel grateful.

As Veronica joined with the rest of her friends, Ervas who was eating at the side of his father decided to change Jobs for the meantime, and possibly buy Skills in the Skill Shop while also using Skill Points for the Skill Trees, if possible.

"I wonder if there's anything new…" thought Ervas.

[Jobs Available]

[Aberrant Abyssal Mind Flayer], [Gods Nemesis], [Vampiric Werewolf Phantasmal Prince], [Soul Therapist], [Great Summoner of the Unknown], [Spectral Devourer of Curses], [Life Attribute Mage], [Void King Mage], [Bloodline Evolver], [Screaming Demonic Horror], [Dungeon Creator], [Void Attribute Mage], [Essence Absorber], [Demonic Divine Light Specter], [Demon Flames Dracolich Emperor] (New!), [Demonic Hell Blaze Prince] (New!), [Chimeric Half-Demon King] (New!), [Yggdrasil] (New!)

Four new Jobs appeared in front of Ervas sight, all four of them seemed mysterious, and a few Jobs disappeared, which he noticed.

It seemed that similarly to Veronica, some old Jobs were upgraded and now counted as "New", which was fine by him.

Amidst the four new Jobs, the one that most interested him was the Yggdrasil Job.

It was… mysterious.

Ervas knew that Yggdrasil was the World Tree of Norse Mythology, or the Tree of Life too, where all nine worlds resided…

Unlike Veronica who was good at wielding death, Ervas was the complete opposite, being better at Life, with a slight usage of death-related skills but never awakening true death magic, leaving such specialization to Veronica who had already surpassed him.

And as Ervas developed his life attribute magic, he also began to lose his death attribute affinity, although the Undead he had already tamed was still fervently loyal to him anyway, so it did not really make him sad or anything.

In fact, it made him happy that the specialization of both he and Veronica became stronger and their difference in abilities more notorious, so he would not feel like he was stealing her spotlight.

Due to this, he assumed that as he specialized more, more life-oriented Jobs would emerge.

Although he still shared a special cycle of life and death with Veronica, and he could also perfectly share her Skills if he fused his Soul with her during battle (or not), something that they did almost daily, giving Ervas the power to use death magic anyways, and Veronica to use life magic too.

Even when one was life and the other was death, both could wield both of their specializations at the same time when fused, becoming a complete being of death and life… and when they fused completely, they became something that could even transcend mortal hood momentarily, which they often used to fight the threats with greater power than them which they had faced through this third life in Mirror Kritias.
