When I noticed that I could increase the grade of the [Cartography], simply by contracting the players on the other servers, I immediately decided to bind as many people as possible while trying to make sure that they still fit the criteria of 'type of main characters' I want. Even though it was 3 times more than the number of people I wanted to handle at once, I guess, it's fine as long as the rewards are worth it.
Though the last requirement was totally different from what was presented in front of me. To change the entire floor with my own skill… I didn't know whether it would be easy or hard until I tried it firsthand.
Putting that thought at the back of my mind, I started looking through the new skills that I had got after all these upgrades.
[Skill: Cartographer's Vision!
Grade: S (Linked with Cartography)
Effects: Allows the user to Map anything around 1000 Kilometers around! Everything that the user has mapped, can be recorded upto 240 hours, and the previous events can be played as per the user's wish!
Additional Effect: The Skill can show its effect even by the area mapped by the Marked Target!]
[Absolute Insight!
Grade: S (Linked with Cartography)
Effects: Allows the user to gain information about a substance or item to the most minute depth. The user can calculate its molecular composition and the basics of its functioning, along with all other macro or micro molecular aspects. The user can identify the defects of all objects, their positive and negative points in depth, and if focused, even the entire layout of how it's built will be shown to the user!]
[Omniscient Recall!
Grade: S (Linked with Cartography)
Effects: Allows the user to remember, store and recall all the information he has sensed. If the user wishes, he can see a 4 dimensional movie playing in front of him which he can see from all the angles and all the speeds possible. He can also show that information to others around him, showing them what he remembers!]
[7th Sense!
Grade: S (Linked with Cartography)
Effect: Opens up the 7th Sense of the user, allowing him to sense everything around him for at least 10 kilometers around him. The user can choose to focus on certain aspects and ignore the other aspects without any problem.
Additional Effects: If any or all the other senses of the user are removed for some reason, the 7th sense will be enhanced to its maximum potential, allowing the user to near mimic the other senses without causing any noticeable problem for the user.]
[Creator's Hands!
Grade: S (Linked with Cartography)
Effects: Allows the user to recreate anything he has seen with [Absolute Insight!]. As longa as the user meets all the bare minimum requirements for the creation of the object such as mana, energy, materials, etc. He can create the same artifact with ease.
Additional Effect: After the creation of an artifact, if the user tries to create an artifact that has 70% or more of the same properties, the time taken to create will be less than half of what it took to create at the first time.]
'Not exactly the same but we are touching the surface of creation skills, huh? Nice,' I smiled as I looked at the skills that I had. They were all S-Grade even at Upper Mortal Realm, which made me wonder if I chose one of the better Gifts? Certainly other Heaven Grades were strong, but in front of what I have… the others kind of feel lackluster, don't they?
And as I was trying to understand the depth of the skills that I had, I heard a voice.
"Hey… can you help me out here? I know I am not in a position to ask you anything… but can you please help me out here…. I beg you…"
It was a cry. And perhaps because I was partially sharing senses with each of my contractees, I allowed them to call out to me in case of great distress. This was to make sure that they at least have a chance to survive in the tutorial.
The one that was calling me this time was of a race known as Elepsian. They looked like humans, but their body was much sturdier than a normal human. If given a close comparison, then it was like having a giant's power in a human body.
Though with their strong body, their ability to regenerate was much more reduced in comparison. A single effective strike could be lethal as it can chronically kill them in the long term. And curses like weakened had a worse effect on them, far worse than poisons or paralysis.
It wasn't hard to gather information about them as my newfound skills allowed me to gain all that information with one look at them. Surely [Absolute Insight] was overpowered in its own domain.
Looking close to his condition, he seemed to be fine. Though the problem came from his partner and his daughter. It seemed like she was on her last breath as she just barely won a battle against one of the people the couple was running away from.
I looked at his child, lying unconscious in his lap, with her strength barely keeping up. On closer inspection, she had a high fever, and her body was seemingly unable to keep up with a strange disease that she had.
"I beg you! I will do anything! Anything you ask for! I will sacrifice my life even! But I beg you… please save my daughter and wife…. They are all that I have…. Please… I beg… you…"
I paused as I looked at his gift.
[Gift: Control (Growth Type)
Grade: Lower Mortal Grade - 0
Experience required to increase the Grade: Fight and Win against an opponent who has 2 times more stats than you.
Effect:
-Allows the user to control his body movements manually to an extent, performing great tasks with ease.
-The user can enhance his power momentarily and unleash many powerful attacks. Note: There will be a stronger backlash after the usage of power!
-All the skills that the user uses will be easier to control, increasing their efficiency by 10%
-Once everyday the user can unleash an attack 3 times stronger than what his body allows him to. Note: The user will be bedridden for 24 hours after the usage of the attack.
-Once every week, the user can unleash an attack 10 times stronger than what his body allows him to. Note: The user will be bedridden for a month after the usage of the attack.]
'Hmmm. I simply changed his gift into a growth type. But due to lack of GM Points, I didn't give him any skills to accompany it,' I mumbled as I saw the situation in front of me. And then pondering a bit more, I then looked at the conditions of the woman and the child again.
[GM Points: 3 Million 237 Thousand Points!]
'A skill that helps him heal himself and others? Surely that would be the most beneficial for him in this scenario…. Though… ' I then thought of another idea before creating something that seemed more probable for the situation right now.
[Blessing: Those that I love more than my life!
Grade: B
Effect: Allows the user to completely heal everyone to their peak health in an area of 10 meters around him!
Conditions to be fulfilled:
-The user can only use this blessing once every 30 days!
-Only those loved by the user more than his own life can be healed by the blessing!]
[Would you like to create the blessing for 1 million 200 thousand GM Points?]
Though before sending it to him, I passed on a message first.
[I can't save them.]
His eyes sank down as soon as he saw the message.
[But that doesn't mean it isn't possible.]
And his eyes widened as he saw the next message. Sending the blessing at him, I saw his eyes widening even more, before he immediately used that blessing without wasting even a single second.
To see one's wife and children die in their own arms, as he begs for mercy to the god to prevent what seems imminent. It shakes the core of a person, takes out the most closed weakness even of the strongest man.
But then again… not all needs to go through that face.
At least those who are following me.
At least those who are under me.
They won't be finding themselves alone in their valor, in their pain… and in their sorrow.
"Well. I wonder where this path would take me," I questioned as I looked at that man praying with joyous tears in his eyes, before I closed the screen and then prepared for the next tutorial.
