Chapter 114 - Eating Magic Accessories, Gaining Several New Skills!
-----
What did Edward, the Chaos Elf, librarian, and alchemist, wanted with Chaos now?
Well, it was a lot of things in fact.
"My lord, I've prepared the items you've asked me some days ago, sorry for the delay, but they were a lot," said Edward, showing Chaos a variety of accessories. Magic necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, and the like, which Chaos had requested their creation because he wanted to eat them.
These accessories were not just normal items that enhanced a bit the stats, but they brought with themselves the power of Jobs.
Indeed, there are several special magic accessories with come infused with the power of a Job within them, the moment someone wear them, they acquire a Novice Job, most of the time, and as long as they have the item equipped, they can do things that these people within these jobs can.
This way, novices and apprentices can easily learn the Jobs by doing this, although dedication and talent are also great requirements, so not everyone can just get all Jobs.
Chaos was obsessed with stacking on as many Skills as possible, and Job Skills were interesting and quite great, bringing both general knowledge about something, some talent, and even a permanent enhancement to stats.
Chaos already had a handful of Job Skills, but for him they were not near as enough, he wanted to pick up as many as he could, in fact, he wanted anything he could get, so Edward still has several more batches of such items to give to Chaos.
"Thank you." Said Chaos was he shapeshifted an enormous jaw by extending his lower jaw into a grotesque fleshy appearance where several eyes and sharp fangs emerged, his appearance was truly hideous and Edward almost had a heart attack by seeing such a sudden transformation, although Abyss found him cool.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
Chaos devoured all these magic accessories with a single bite, swallowing them after crushing them completely. Not much time passed after that as he immediately felt the new power surging from his body.

…
Chaos suddenly got a large amount of very interesting Skills right away, all of them filled his mind with large amounts of knowledge about many things, his mind felt enlightened by the understanding that each Job brought to him permanently, alongside the sub-Skills that they also gave to him.
Although he had learned a lot, he still wanted to practice a lot and gain experience in the fields, but he already felt excited to go cook, research books, craft items, build houses, and many other things… Well, each Job also enhanced his stats by a bit too, so all of these Job Skills stacked up and gave him a decent bonus to his stats.
However, there were still many Jobs and the Skills they could give which he wanted. Unlike Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Half-humans, and other human-like races, he was unable to gain Jobs naturally and therefore could not develop them and even unlock branched Jobs with their own Skills like others could, so he needed to stack Jobs through this method.
Of course, there was going to be a time when it would become harder and harder to gain Skills this way, so Chaos ordered Edward to focus a lot of the resources and time, alongside the personnel, into making more accessories for him to eat.
He still wanted one that could lend him Necromancy, and there was one, but the materials needed were rare and there was already an expedition sent to the Boundless Abyss for such materials. Chaos had studied Necromancy Books, many, but they didn't seme to work for him, so he wanted to see if he could get the Skill through an Accessory. There were also many other amazing Skills he wanted, such as Spirit Summon, Summoning, Beast Taming, and more, all of them had strange and great capabilities. And there were other Jobs he wanted, such as Dark Knight, Death Knight, Spear Warrior, Aura Fighter, Miner, and so on… Chaos was collecting and stacking up as many skills as he could. Having his skill tab convoluted with them didn't bothered him at all as long as they could bring some aid.
"We'll be able to bring the next batch in a few more days, my lord," said Edward.
"I see, thank you, it was a very delicious meal," said Chaos.
As Chaos and Abyss were about to walk outside, Edward stopped them.
"W-Wait, my lord!"
"Hm? What is it?"
"We need to talk what you came here for! Did you forget?" sighed Edward.
"Oh, right, the Kingdom name?" asked Chaos.
"Yeah, that… (Was my lord's mind elsewhere? Perhaps getting so many Skills at the same time fills his mind with too much information)" sighed Edward.
"Hmm… I haven't thought about it, do you have any ideas?" asked Chaos.
"Well yes, I've gathered a lot of name ideas from many citizens. Here are the ideas," said Edward, showing some papers to Chaos.
"Darkness Kingdom, Hell Kingdom, Demon Kingdom, Fire Kingdom… Goblin Kingdom?"
Certainly, they were not the best names they could had come out with.
"How about this one, my lord? Look, Chaos Kingdom!" said Abyss.
"Hm, well, that's literally my name…" said Chaos.
"How about a name that I and my peers came out with, my lord?" asked Edward.
"What is it?" asked Chaos.
"Blood Moon Kingdom." Said Edward.
"Blood Moon Kingdom? …Erm, I don't know," said Chaos.
Naming his own place seemed more complicated than Chaos had originally imagined.
After pondering it for a while, Chaos decided to give up.
"Let's leave it at Chaos Kingdom for now, as a provisional name," said Chaos.
"O-Oh… I suppose my Blood Moon Kingdom idea was not as good… I suppose Chaos Kingdom is good enough, simple and catchy," said Edward.
"Well, I guess so…?" wondered Chaos. He couldn't really give much importance to these things, but those around him did, so he had to put the effort of giving it a name.
For now, his place was named, the Chaos Kingdom!
