Reincarnation of the Cheater

"Word Magic 'Reverse'"

As the word magic activates and encases the Goblin King in light all the rocks that were absorbed slowly seep out of the Goblin King as if they were never even absorbed in the first place. The cuts all over his body start to reappear and his arm falls off and turns back into a rock.

Upon seeing that his magic was reversed and his body changing against his will the Goblin King becomes furious and goes berserk attacking everything in sight. He tried to activate the magic multiple times but every time he tried the mana inside him would seep out back into the air as if it was draining out.

"What! What have you done to me!" The Goblin King screams as his body starts to continue to reverse without stopping. His body grew back from before the fight even began but it didn't stop there. It was like watching a movie in reverse, his body continuously grew wounds and then got rid of them within a few seconds. All of us are staring at the Goblin King as his body rewound its own time on the command of the word magic. I didn't think that the effect of rewind would be this strong, I thought it would only rewind the healing but it basically dealt with this guy by its self. What was the point of using a plan if I can just rewind someone until they're not stronger than me? There has to be a limit to this. Let me steal the skill before he ends up losing it.

'Skill Steal "Mind Reading"'

[Activating skill... Stealing skill from target... Error!]

[The target "Goblin King" doesn't have the specified skill.]

'What! I shouldn't have waited to steal the skill, it's all my fault for waiting.' Seeing that the Goblin King no longer has that skill due to the reverse I continue to try other skills he had before.

'Skill Steal "Enhanced Body"'

[Activating skill... Stealing skill from target... Error!]

[The target "Goblin King" doesn't have the specified skill.]

'Fuck me, what skills does he have then.' I continue to try to steal some skills but it isn't working.

'Appraisal'

[Error!}

[The target's status isn't stable and can't be shown at this moment.]

'Fuck me'

'Skill Steal "Rock Absorbation"'

[Activating skill... Stealing skill from target... Error!]

[The target "Goblin King" doesn't have the specified skill.]

'Skill Steal "King's Intimidation"'

[Activating skill... Stealing skill from target... Done]

[Congratulations the skill "King's Intimidation (Lv.2) has been acquired]

[Congratulations you have gained the title "Potential King"]

'Finally, a skill was able to be stolen. That was the first time that there was an error so I was worried that all his skills disappeared.' While I tried to steal any skill I could think of from the Goblin King I decided to look back at the Goblin King and instead of the Goblin King from before there is a Goblin in his place and it continues to shrink until there is nothing left.

'Well damn, I shouldn't use reverse unless I really need to. I didn't even get any experience for killing the Goblin King, wow.'

"This is exactly like the Time Lord's secret technique, "Time Reversal" which literally reverses the time of the target. There weren't many ways to block this technique and even then it was a technique that was hard to get rid of. I'm surprised to see something like it in this world seeing that the Time Lord just disappeared one day." Finn says under his breath after watching that scene.

"Well then, let's take a short break and head on to the next floor." Shin says as he sits down and takes a breath.

I don't blame them, that fight took a lot of stamina and at the same time took even more mana than I've ever spent before. I feel empty inside and don't feel motivated at all. In the future, I shouldn't use all of my mana it just leaves me in a lethargic state and my state of mind feels off.

Since we're sitting here anyways I decided to check out the new Special Gacha banner.

'System, what is the current Special Gacha content.'

[The current Special Gacha content is from "Is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon" or "Danmachi" for short.]

[The Special Gacha reacts to your extraordinary luck, you have received a free pull.]

Looking at the interface, it seems that I have to use the free pull first since the ticket pull isn't showing up right now.

'Use the free pull.'

[(Free) Special Gacha Results: Noble Brave (Finn Diemne)

'Appraisal'

Skill: Noble Brave

Description: Provides high resistance against mental attacks

'So I got a skill that isn't really needed since I have All Status Ailment Resistance.'

[You currently have 1 special ticket. Do you wish to use it?]

'Sure, go ahead and pull for me.' I say while thinking of the Transcendent title. The Guild Master got it because he was able to manipulate his soul so by now he might actually have the skill. The transcendent title showed that he was able to go farther than the 199 limiters on all of the stats and continue growing so does that mean the Goblin's here were born without the limiter or did someone teach them the skills they had.

'Nice, a skill from Ais and Riveria. Now I'm curious about what it is.'

'Appraisal'

Skill: Spirit Healing

'That sounds like an amazing skill that can be upgraded even further. I might be able to upgrade it to unlimited mana regen or something.'
