Provides a 5% boost to ranged accuracy and ranged damage for some weapons (bows, throwing weapons) at level 0, with an additional 1% per additional level.
Alex grumbles to himself, "Trash quality… no wonder my innate skill is rated as a bane. Eight trash skills I’m forced to learn and level, and I lose 3 real skill slots. This is bullshit. The pistol skill alone is twice as good, and the level-up effects are five times better. Damn, 1337, you were right... my innate skill is really awful in this regard."
[This godly system never makes mistakes. Like I told you, unlocking that skill came at a heavy cost. Without it, you wouldn’t have survived the first mission, so you had no choice. Don’t dwell on what you can’t change. Besides, I didn’t expect you to get an S rating. If you keep earning high ranks, I might reconsider my initial assessment. Your skill might turn out unexpectedly useful after all.]
Alex, not paying too much attention, remembers the effects of the skills and what they do... just raising basic abilities and stats like 10% HP, MP, or 5% more melee/ranged damage and accuracy. He isn’t really excited to learn it. Some, like the HP increase, will be useful, especially since he can level them, but others... even 5% ranged accuracy with his pistol sounds rather mediocre. "I’d rather use my FC to buy cool stuff. I can’t wait to see what kind of insane loot I can buy," Alex thinks, his mind wandering to cool items from different worlds.
"Wait... focus. Don’t distract me, 1337!"
[Host is really without any hope…]
Alex, with 8 basic skill books and of course his real treasure in hand, walks toward the skill learning station, grateful that it doesn't require a worker to operate.
