[POCKET DIMENSION #2]
(SCENE)
James learns the magic spell 'Overkill' from Ein. After taking a few seconds to wrap his head around the magic properly, James attempts to use it to make his 'Gluttony' skill stronger.
James activates his 'Gluttony' skill and 'Overkill' at the same time, and the spell starts draining James of his mana, making James skill uncomparably stronger than it was before.
As James' skill had become stronger, it allowed him to start devouring the space around him, and slowly make the pocket dimension he had been trapped in disappear bit by bit.
~{DIALOGUE}~
James Belfork: 'Ein, the spell seems to be working and made my gluttony stronger, but isn't the speed of how the dimension is being absorbed a bit concerning?"
Ein Felheart: 'It does seem to be a bit slow, so it'll probably take a few days to get out of here, but that isn't much of a bad thing.'
James Belfork: 'And why would you say that?'
Ein Felheart: 'It just means you have time to practice a few things before facing the person who trapped us in here.'
James Belfork: 'I'd almost forgotten that someone put us in here. So what happens when we get out?'
Ein Felheart: 'Since your gluttony skill is absorbing all the mana and material that's in the pocket dimension. The person who put us in here will likely collapse from mana backflow. But we don't know if they'll be around others when that happens, so it's best to be prepared for the worst.'
James Belfork: 'Makes sense, and since it doesn't seem like mymana'ss going to run out anytime soon, I could use the time to test out that time magic from your old books, on a wider scale.'
(SCENE)
As James slowly absorbs the pocket dimension, he practices 'Time' magic, and in turn gets rewarded by his system with new skills and abilities.
~{DIALOGUE}~
James Inner Monologue: 'It seems that the system gave me some new skills after practicing time magic for a little while. I wonder what they could be.'
James opens his system menu on the skills and abilities tab.
James Inner Monologue: 'Huh, what is this? Highen senses, Attack resistance, and Time jump?'
James Inner Monologue: 'Just by looking at the names alone, they seem like they'd be quite overpowered.'
James Inner Monologue: 'Let's see what the descriptions say.'
James looks at the descriptions of the 3 abilities the system gave him.
James Inner Monologue: *Grins* 'These abilities have to be too good to be true, right? There's no way that I just got the ability unconsciously move out of the way of danger, and even cancel out attacks that hit me and reverse them onto other people,ple right? Even the time jump ability trumps both of them. I can simply go back seconds before getting attacked and dodge them completely.'
James Inner Monologue: 'If I can get these just by practicing a little time magic, I wonder how strong I'd be if I fully master it?'
