Chapter 131: Map and History.
Felix continued to lay on the bed for some time, pondering about the new skills that he should create now that he had obtained more than four thousand skill points.
Finally, he sat up and called out to the system decisively after consideration.
"System, create this skill."
[Affirmative.]
[Processing the skill power scale....grading the skill....estimating the possible points required.....skill successfully moduled.]
[Ding!]

??Allow the user to mark and locate specific places, objects, and individuals on the map.
Cost: 40 skill points]
[Do you wish to use 40 skill points and create the skill 'Map'?]
As he read the description, Felix nodded.
'So a map of one kilometre around me costs only 40 skill points, that's not bad. Less than I had expected, let's try more than...'
"System, increase the radius of the skill to ten kilometres."
[Affirmative.]
[Ding!
[Name: Map
Description:
??Grants the user with a detailed map of their nearby area, covering a ten-kilometer radius.
??Allow the user to mark and locate specific places, objects, and individuals on the map.
Cost: 400 skill points]
[Do you wish to use 400 skill points and create the skill 'Map'?]
Felix sighed.
'As expected, the cost got multiplied by ten. It looks a bit expensive but knowing about my surroundings would help me a lot. Then let's add the last touch....'
"System, turn it like this."
[Affirmative.]

??Allow the user to mark and locate specific places, objects, and individuals on the map.

Cost: 500 skill points]
[Do you wish to use 500 skill points and create the skill 'Map'?]
As Felix read through the details of the skill, he smiled and agreed.
"Perfect. Create this skill."
[Ding!]
[Successfully created a new skill.]
Without hesitating, Felix used the skill as he called out to the map in his mind.
A dull blue light flashed before him, and a circlular hologram of a map, similar to the system's interface, appeared on his line of sight.
On the map, a black coloured gothic building appeared, seen from the top view as if from an eagle's eye.
Felix widened his eyes in amazement as he jumped up from the bed and then opened the window of his room before putting his hand out.
"There it is!"
Now he could see on the map, a hand coming out from a part of the guild's building.
"It's amazing, better than all the advanced software maps on the smartphones from earth, even showing the real-time changes."
With an excited grin, Felix felt like going out and exploring the entire city.
But he calmed himself down and inspected his new skill, using his mind to zoom out the map until it covered ten kilometres with him as the centre.
Now, the guild building looked small like a grain, and the map displayed almost seventy percent of the Edenmont City.
The various buildings and the patches of lands, the jumbled up roads and the tiny alleys, the small streams across the city, and the bordering city walls on the map.
Felix glued his eyes to the entirety of the city shown on the map, which wasn't like a piece of paper but an actual view of the world seen from the perspective of a bird.
"No....it's much better than that."
He muttured while looking around the map and zoomed in to places as he wished, feasting his eyes with scenes of the joyful city that was bathed in the setting light.
"Hmm... the only disadvantage is that I can only see everything from above, and places like the insides of a building cannot be seen.", Felix pondered with his hand on his chin.
"But that's not an issue for now, as I can still do this."
He thought of something in his mind, and various marks appeared on the map, mainly in green, grey, and red colour, indicating the friendly, neutral, and hostile beings.
The place he was at had dozens of green marks and was devoid of any red mark, including some other parts of the city nearby where he could see some green marks.
But what suprised him the most were the lines of red marks concentrated at a building that was a few kilometres away from his location.
"This....Is that any of the enemy guild's building?", he frowned, not knowing how they knew about him and had labelled him as their enemy.
As he pondered for the cause, he recalled what he had done after joining the guild and quickly found the answer.
"They must be the guild who tried to attack Noah, Shaya and the others at the abandoned factory mission.", Felix gritted his teeth when he remembered them.
"Wait- Aren't they the reason this whole guild wars situation is happening?"
This made him more unhappy, knowing they were the ones who were causing so much trouble for him and the people around him; not that he minded the start of the guilds war though.
'Hmm, maybe I should visit them sometime later....', a wicked grin stretched on his face, as his eyes roamed around the enemy guild's building and its surroundings.
After spending a few hours watching the city on the live map without getting bored with all the vibrant scenes, it soon got dark as moonlight revealed itself, which made him unable to look at many places properly.
Felix quickly noticed the problem and spent another 100 points to upgrade the map for it to possess night mode, which made it possible of him to now see the dark places too.
"Enough exploring. Now let's move on to the next one."
He sat on the bed and closed his eyes, imagining another of the skill that he had wanted to create from the beginning.
"System, now create the skill inspect."
[Affirmative.]
[Processing the skill's power scale....grading the skill....estimating the possible points required.....skill successfully moduled.]
[Ding!]
[Skill Name: Inspect
Description:
??Gives the user a detailed overview of any object, according to its grade and properties.
??The skill is integrated with the system for better interaction.
Cost: 500 skill points]
[Do you wish to use 500 skill points and create the skill 'Inspect'?]
"Yes."
[Ding!]
[Successfully created a new skill.]
"Hmm...I've finally gotten this basic isekai skill."
Felix muttered and turned his head to the table where a book was kept.
"Let's try this."
He eyed the book from afar and thought of using the new skill.
'Inspect.'
A system's window suddenly appeared infront of Felix, displaying the details of the book.
[Name: Black Horizon Sword Arts.(Incomplete).
Grade: Peak Uncommon.

A Sword Arts which aims to kill the enemy at any costs, regardless of the effects it may have on its user.
It was created by Devon Frex, the leader of the Rebellion Army from the Miledas Empire, during the Era of Chaotic Gods.

The boy who had used his new skill for testing purpose widened his eyes in shock.
After reading the details of the sword arts manual book, Felix stood stunned as he muttered in amazement.
"Damn, that caught me by surprise....who would've thought that a random sword arts I was given had such an amazing background..."
Sucked into his own thoughts, Felix pondered about the possible history of the sword arts he was practising.
'Devon Frex? From the Miledas Empire? And what does it mean by the Era of Chaotic Gods....'
