"Got it!"
FLASH!
The moment I acquired the Skill, I felt a sudden surge of energy and power emerge across my body, coursing through my Physique and then my Soul and Magic Circle. For a moment, it felt as if I was within an endless garden of nature, and someone gave me a small red fruit resembling an apple.
Without hesitating, I ate the apple, biting it and completely devouring it faster than I thought because it was so tasty. In mere seconds, this new magic power began to course through my entire body, strengthening me as a result.
And not only that, but some sort of primeval knowledge reached my mind, as I suddenly understood and comprehend magic to a whole new level, it really felt as if I ate a Fruit of Knowledge.
And that's not all of it.
"Fruit of Knowledge Creation!"
FLASH!
From my hands, a golden glow of light emerged, as branches grew directly out of my right hand, forming a beautiful white flower which then generated a red, apple-shaped fruit. I took out the fruit as the branches fell off and seemed to dry out right away.
"Amazing, this is a Fruit of Knowledge, isn't it? I can only make one every 12 hours, so twice a day…" I sighed. "But over time I can slowly accumulate a lot. Also, it seems creating a fruit gave me 500 Skill Proficiency, so I guess I can earn 1k per day. Is there other way to level this up?"
"Controlling Mana, conjuring Spells, and learning Magic all work to gain skill proficiency, but of course creating the fruit nets more, but you can only do it twice a day." Said Alice. "This cooldown never disappears. Also it seems impossible for someone to eat two at the same time, once they eat one, there's a cooldown in the person before they can eat another."
"What's stopping them from eating a second one if they want to though?" I wondered.
"I don't know, maybe the fruit become so hard it cannot be bitten by that specific person? I might be the System but I am not that aware of some of the rules that govern the structure of my existence. Maybe if I was taught more by my creator, but he discarded me very quickly." Sighed Alice.
"Ah, I guess there's no helping it then. For now let's store the apple inside a small bag. Do they rot?" I wondered.
"Nope." Said Alice.

[Divine Fruit of Knowledge (A Grade)]
A special and delicious fruit created by a person who has achieved an incredible level of connection with Nature and Plants, often reserved for the strongest of Farmers. Once bitten, it will disappear into energy and flow into the one that decided to consume it as energy, knowledge, and power. Mana and Health is restored by 50% of their maximum value and grants a temporary enhance to Mana Regeneration Speed, Total Mana Capacity, Intelligence, and Resistance by +30% for 6 hours. Additionally it grants 10% of the creator's magic knowledge. Once consumed, the item cannot be consumed again for 6 hours.

"Quite straightforward."
"With this and Naturia's leaves you got two consumables that can heal and help people, now our plan is to slowly accumulate more over time for emergencies."
"Foo!"
Naturia suddenly appeared by my side while agreeing.
"You agree little Naturia? I guess she's right, we have to prepare… It is already becoming rather common to get trapped into desperate situations, although it is sad to even assume it… Ah well, now that we are here, we should check new Ember Skill Tree options."
"Fooo!" Naturia seemed rather excited as well.
"Did you finished eating stew?" I wondered.
"We are indeed finished." Said Ignatius, emerging over my head and sitting there, his small belly grew around three times. "Human food is really delicious, more than eating raw meat."
"It is! I don't think I can even go back to eating raw monsters any longer. My palate has changed way too much now." Furoh emerged as well in his small Fenrir form, resembling a cute white wolf pup.
"Burp… Ugh, when am I evolving?!" Beelzebub appeared; his chubby wormy body seemed to have grown fatter.
"I think I could make you a System Seed after I am done dealing with Skills and the evolutions of the rest." I said.
"Eh?! Really?!" Beelzebub got all happy.
"Only if you behave, that's it." I said.
"Ugh… fine." The small grub sighed, as he sat over the bed.
"What about me? Can I get one of those things?" Curse wondered, emerging at my side once more.
"I don't know you're a newbie here." I said.
"Yeah! Newbies don't get that well of a treatment, you gotta show your worth first!" Laughed Beelzebub.
"May I have to remind you that it was due to my help you could deal with the Gods back then? And also devour Lilith's soul? I've helped plenty!"
