Author note: I decided to change the cover of the novel so just wanted to let you know if you didn't notice. If you don't like it let me know.
--------------------
After the week of training and gaining a bunch of skills, I decided to review my status and start fusing my skills.

'All my stats look good, and I have got some good skills. My recovery skill also evolved which is great, because I think this is the only skill which increased its rank in a way that wasn't synthesis.'
'Speaking of skills there is one more which I need.'
'I need a way to communicate from my clones from far away. Since they aren't a carbon copy, they tend to move and think on their own.'
'The only problem is that those types of skills that allow for mental communication are always so expensive and tend to have harsh limitations. The cost can vary from anywhere from 100,000 to over 10 million, because they are extremely rare too.'
'I didn't really want to use it since it feels like cheating especially when it comes to skills, but I guess I have no choice.'
'Creation.'
With that simple thought a translucent system panel appeared in front of me. It showed categories for me to fill out and that is exactly what I did.
After filling out all the information it told me what the cost of creation would be.
-----
[What do you wish to create: A skill]
[What is its effect: It allow for mental communication with any being which has a link to me, and allows for the creation of mental links]
[What are its limitations: When not in active use the mental link will remain dormant, and energy will be consumed for every activation to awaken it]
[It will cost 360,000 mana for the creation of the skill]
-----
'Damn! It will consume nearly all of my mana to create this skill.'
'You know what, It's worth it. My mp regeneration is so good that it will only take around 470 seconds or close to 8 minutes to fully recover, so it's not like it even matters.'
'Alright, let's go ahead with the skills creation.'
Once my decision was made, I received a notification from the system.
[Affirmation confirmed]
[Creation of the skill will now commence]
[Processing]
[Skill successfully created]
[You have received the rare skill 'mental link creation']
[You have gained the psychic affinity]
[Due to gaining a mental skill you may now view the hidden stat, mind]
'Well, I didn't expect that!'
'Not only did I gain the skill I wanted, but I also gained a new affinity and stat. On top of that it was the psychic affinity, which is really hard to guard against or even sense unless you also have the affinity.'
'I know I just checked my status barely 10 minutes ago, but I need to see my new stat and new skill.'

[Name: mental link creation]
[Level: 1]
[Rank: rare]
[Description: you have the ability to create mental links, and mental seeds]
[Effect: you can create mental links for those within 0.1*mind meters around you, allowing for mental communication. You can also create mental seed within those who have a weaker mind stat than you or allows you to plant the seed. These seeds will allow for the creation of a mental link at any time at the cost of mental strain and/or mana (note: the cost to activate the mental seed will vary depending on distance and barriers, and the more links you have open at the same time the more mental strain)]
----------
'The skills pretty good and my mind strength is better than I thought. It's still a bit disappointing that my mind stat is my weakest stat though.'
'Ok! Now that I am fully prepared, I guess I should start searching for what will be my first official dungeon.'
