"It seems you have completed my quest, have you decided on which skill you would like to take." he says as he stares at me with an analyzing gaze.

'Yep it's there.'

"Alright, I took it."

"Are you sure, I didn't feel anything." he says confused. He probably thought he would feel something and then he can just follow reports in case I went berserk or something.

"Yeah, it's a pretty cool skill but it's a limited version of skill steal." I put emphasis on the words 'limited version'. Time to redeem myself.

"Limited in what way?" he says curiously since I didn't say anything about this when he used his aura to suppress me.

"I can only steal a skill once from each race, so far I've stolen a skill from kobolds, goblins, and now humans so if you know of any other races please tell me."

"So it worked like that. Alright, I'll tell you, the races are Humans, Demons, Elves, Beastmen, and Half-Beastmen. It seems that monsters count as races for your skill, in that case, there are too many monsters to count." he says as a senior teaching a junior.

"Anything else I should know?"

"Yeah, every 20 levels are a rank, currently you are peak rank 1, once you get a second class or choose to stay with your current class you can start going further than 20. The orb to rank up is just an upgraded version of the orb to choose your class. I have one here go ahead and rank up." he says while holding a light blue orb in his hand.

Putting my hand over the orb instead of just choosing a class it gave me two options.

[Choose a Second Class](Click to see options)

[Stay with Current Class]

'See options for second class' as I finish just like choosing my class my eyes are filled with different classes.

[Magic Swordsman] [Warrior] [Mage] [Archer] [Ranger] [Thief] [Assassin] [Lancer] [Gunner]

[Monster Hunter] [OtherWorlder] [Swordsman] [Pugglist] [Fire Mage] [Ice Mage] [Wind Mage]

[Water Mage] [Lightning Mage] [Earth Mage] [Hero] [Trap Specialist] [Protagonist]

[Dungeon Explorer] [Axeman] [Lumberjack] [Alchemist] [Potion Maker] [Poison Master]

'Is there any reason there are some new classes this time?'

[Classes are available based on talent and experiences, for example, you eat like a lumberjack, you hide in your room a lot like an alchemist, you have talent in potion making, and you are immune to poison so you can be a poison master without any side effects. You also have the luck stat of a protagonist.]

'What are the benefits of choosing another class.'

[Honestly, with the cheater class you can do everything without having the required class so just stay with that one.]

'What do I get for staying with the cheater class.'

[You get to choose another class specialty, of course, they will be different from last time and you get to choose two new class skills.]

'I'll stay with my current class.'

[Confirming... you have chosen to stay with the class "Cheater"]

[Please choose another class specialty.]

[x4 Skill Point Gain]

[All Weapon Mastery]

[x2 Experience Gain]

'Can you explain them?'

'I've decided on the All Weapon Mastery specialty.'

[Select 2 Class skills or Magic Types]

[Stealth, Sword Mastery, Presence Detection, Dismantle, Fire Magic, Water Magic, Light Magic, Dark Magic, Wind Magic, Earth Magic, Healing Magic, Barrier Magic, Illusion Magic, Mana Manipulation, Holy Magic, Trap Detection, Body Reinforcement Magic]

'I decided on Water Magic so if I run out of water and don't have a stable supply I can just use magic, and Fire Magic as a counter in case I run into anything that has a high regeneration stat.'

[Magic Types Water and Fire have been unlocked, Skills Create Water and Create Fire have been learned.]

[Congratulations you have reached level 21.]

[Your current amount of skill points is 484]

'Use 200 skill points on swordsmanship and 200 skill points on trap detection.'

[Using skill points... Done]

[Swordsmanship has reached level 2(Intermediate)]

[Trap Detection has reached level 4]

"Tomorrow you will be taking the ranking exam to rank up to be a D ranked adventurer. I've arranged this before as the average level for a D ranked adventurer is 10-20, and from there it gets harder to rank up so do your best and take actual quests from now on."

"Yes, sir." I say as I quickly leave so I don't have to be near this manipulator any longer.

After eating dinner it was about 7 so I went to my room to take a bath and service my weapons. The silver sword was pretty dirty due to dry blood and mud from the dungeon.

'Can I use lifestyle magic on my swords?'

[You can since they are only dirty but it can't clean rust.]

'Clean' as I finish the one-word chant the weapon lostvayne and the silver sword are shrouded in white light and eventually they come out so clean I can see a reflection so good it's like looking at a mirror.

After some time I put both my weapons into the inventory and grab my blanket and pillows so I can go to sleep. Thinking through the day again I decide to only use skill steal on willing people, monsters, and people who's class are marked with a red glow which indicates that they are bad people.
