Chapter 3: The Only Talent: Devour!

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

Nothing strange happened.

Bruce just squatted down and covered the pile of bones with his right hand.

At this time, he clearly felt a stream of heat coming from the pile of bones and entering his body!

The stream of heat was small but continuous, like a warm river flowing through his body made of bones.

It lasted for half a minute.

When the heat flow ended, with a slight cracking sound, the pile of bones turned into a pile of grayish-white ashes and disappeared with the wind!

It seemed that all the valuable essence in the bones had been swallowed and absorbed by something!

At the same time, Bruce’s body of bones had also undergone some changes.

His bones seemed to have become a little thicker.

The color of his skeletal body had also become darker, and it seemed to be turning from a pale white to a grayish white.

However, the biggest change was directly reflected in his stats window!

He did not know when and how his four-dimensional attributes had changed.

His agility had not changed, his spirit had not changed.

His strength had changed from 0.7 to 0.8, and his vitality had changed from 0.8 to 1.0!

He looked down.

Bruce saw three new messages on his status panel.

—

“You have absorbed the essence of the skeleton, and your body has become stronger. Your strength has increased by 0.1. Your vitality has increased by 0.2.”

—

The number that had increased in the message was the additional value of his four-dimensional attributes!

‘This is the effect of my only talent!’

His jawbone crackled. If not for the fact that he was only a skeleton and could not make any sound, Bruce would have laughed out loud. He was so surprised!

His only talent was [ devour ] !

If his guess was correct, whenever he killed an enemy, he could absorb the essence of the enemy’s corpse and convert it into his attribute values!

Second World was a real world.

At the same time, it was also a game.

Because the entire world was digitized by the game rules.

In such a surreal game, what was the most important thing?

Faction?

Class?

Equipment?

Inheritance?

The most important thing was one’s attributes!

The growth of life mana required attribute values!

Better equipment required attribute values!

The advancement of a class template required attribute points!

Even the lost inheritances that could allow one to soar to the sky often had extremely high attribute requirements!

It could be said that for NPCs, players, or monsters, attribute points were the prerequisite for everything!

Moreover, in such a real game world, the four-dimensional attributes affected the body directly. Even a simple pig with four-dimensional attributes could turn into a pig god that was strong enough to fight against the gods!

Attribute values were everything in the game!

He had such a strong talent and such a unique skill!

How could it not make him extremely happy?

However, Bruce was not arrogant.

Even though he had the talent to be the strongest, he did not forget that he was only a small skeleton at the bottom of the undead race, and at the same time, at the bottom of the entire game world.

Before turning his potential into his strength and becoming truly powerful, wretched development was the way to go.

Once again, he was back on the ground that was filled with piles of bones. Picking up a leg bone, Bruce charged towards another skeleton a few meters away with light steps.

5 meters.

3 meters.

2 meters!

Kacha!

There was no accident.

When the leg bone in his hand was broken into two again, the skull of the skeleton in front of Bruce was broken just like the skull of the first skeleton. The grey skeleton shook gently and then scattered on the ground.

—

Ding!

“You have killed the ‘weak skeleton’!”

“You have gained 10 experience points.”

—

A familiar heat wave surged into Bruce’s body.

When the second pile of bones had been absorbed and turned into a pile of ashes, a new system notification appeared on his status panel.

—

“You have absorbed the essence from the bones. Your body has become stronger.”

“Your strength has increased by 0.1.”

“Your agility has increased by 0.1.”

—

Hearing the system’s voice, Bruce’s eyes flashed with excitement. He picked up another thigh bone and went deeper into the ruins in front of him.

A few hours later, it was dark and gloomy, and there was not a single light shining on the boneyard.

A gray skeleton was groping his way around a boneyard full of broken bones.

There was not a trace of flesh and blood on its body. It was only a slender skeleton. However, it gave off a feeling of “sturdiness.” It did not fit in with the other skeletons on that small, solitary piece of land.

Within a few hours, Bruce had killed over a hundred skeletons nearby.

These hundreds of skeletons not only gave him over a thousand experience points, but also greatly increased his four-dimensional attributes.

Bruce’s attributes panel had changed.

—

[ name ] : Bruce

[ race ] : Undead-skeleton

[ level ] : Level 4 (32/400)

[ status ] : health 38, mana 15

[ attributes ] : strength 3.5, agility 4.0, vitality 3.7, spirit 1.5

[ talent ] : devour (only talent)

[ skill ] : temporarily unavailable

Within a few hours, his level had risen from Level 1 to Level 4. Apart from the spirit attribute, the other three attributes of the fourth dimension had increased by two to three times. It was such a huge gain!
