Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 94 - The Announcement

I am surprised by the title's effect. Skill books are rare kinds of items in this game. Even though they exist, few people have seen and managed to get a drop of one.

Every class has its Class Trees that they can invest SP to unlock the corresponding skills they wanted to invest in. All skills available in the game are already in the class tree but what is the purpose of the Skill Books?

Every skill books have a skill that can be learned. Of course, it would be pointless if the skill is already in your class tree right? Then the answer is no. All skill books can be learned by any class in the game. If the Versatile has the skills of all classes already attached to their skill tree, it is unfair, right?

That is where the skill books come in.

For example, a gunslinger found a [Heal] skill book from one of the drops. If the gunslinger decided to use the skill book, the [Heal] skill inside the skill book will immediately be learned by the gunslinger. And despite being a gunslinger, they can use Heal if they invest in it even if they are not a cleric class.

But due to how it will be overpowered if abused, the drop rates of the skill book became too scarce that seeing one from the drops is considered as a very good sign of good luck and the players would never stop to look at you in admiration.

If this title is what truly what described here, then finding skill books in the future will be a piece of cake. If I was lacking money, and the effect of the title works, I will probably sell all of the skill books I will be receiving in the future. But since I am not lacking money at the moment, I don't have any idea what to use the skill books.

Selling skill books is also not a good idea. Since the skill books are considered rare in this game, gaining access to the limited class skills of other classes. The game will never be balanced again.

"Master?" Lina looked at me with a confused face.

"Ah, don't worry. Did you find anything else?"

"I found a few books of research. From the looks of the content, they were all handwritten which I presume that the Necromancer Lich earlier is the author of these books. There are also a few shelves here containing ingredients and other stuff contained inside some bottles. There was a chest full of fresh medicinal herbs too."

The medicinal herbs inside the box were indeed fresh when I checked it out. Most of them are for making antidote potions and poison potions too. But the most herbs I found inside are all ingredients for making Hallucination Potion.

Thinking about it, I heard from the report of the raid against the necromancer lich that they have suffered from hallucination magic many times which is why some of the DPS is easily killed. To think the Necromancer would use it instead. If I arrive in this place a little bit later, it might be a different story and we must be still fighting against the boss until now.

The books were all experiments of the Necromancer. Since I am not so studious enough, I decided to stash it and read it later on instead.

Aside from those things, nothing more has been found. So I decided to go back to the guild and report the quest.

...

It was a long process after the report. They didn't believe me at first but I immediately brought out the staff the Lich is carrying to prove everything. A few more things of here and there before I managed to purchase the mansion. Since I have to get the papers after three days for official ownership of the house, I still have to wait.

Just as I was about to log out of the game, I saw a mail on my empty mailbox. I still have no friends on my friend list so it is not from a friend. Checking the sender, I realized that it was the administrator sending an announcement.

[We are proud of all the players of Alternate World and thank you for keeping the community lively. Now, we will be sending the latest news of the game for the new upcoming content to expand the game. Please check it on our website! Thank you, adventurers.]

An upcoming content eh? Is there anything that happened in the past timeline that I don't remember? Does my eidetic forget things? I don't think there was a release at all during this time. Maybe it is an innovation that changed a little bit which I am not aware of.

...

The first thing I do after logging out of the game is to turn on my computer and check the situation. I didn't expect that what I see right now is real.

[Scheduled release of the event," The Sandurk Continent.]
