Skill Maker in a Game Like World

"I'm naturally serious or I wouldn't give such an open challenge," the city lord replied.

After saying that, he even removed the ring on his finger.

The ring had a seal with the word Fogmira City small on it as well as a strange symbol that seemed unable to be replicated.

He placed the ring in front of Enzo.

"By wearing this ring, the authority of this city will be in your hands. All of the city's troops except Elder Mao and Knight Carter will obey your orders," he continued.

"Why do you want to give this city to someone else?" Enzo asked.

This sounded so absurd that he suspected deceit even though until now the natives had no record of deceiving the Awakeners.

"Me, Elder Mao, and Knight Carter want to go somewhere far away and won't be able to manage this city anymore. Unfortunately, I don't have any descendants so I can't pass on this city other than leaving it to someone else. After a long discussion and seeing that so far the city ruled by the Adventure is doing well, we decided to choose an Adventure to inherit it..." The city lord explained his reasoning.

"Wouldn't it be better if you gave the city to those who are already stronger, why did you choose beginners to test?" Enzo still had questions.

If it was him, he would naturally choose Awakeners with a higher rank.

They had the power to stabilize the city more easily because when the city was controlled by an Awakener, other Awakeners might try to play politics for profit which could cause chaos.

"There are reasons, one of them is because this city doesn't have too many stronger Adventure and they usually won't be here for very long. Because of this, we chose a Beginner who is close to rising in rank. Of course, I know you've already risen in rank after passing the previous challenge, but as a New Expert, you can still progress well around this city until you advance to the next rank. The point is, we don't want to leave the city to an Adventure who can leave in no time."

"But I'll still leave eventually," Enzo replied.

"I know, but I'm pretty sure that you'll manage the city well in advance because you'll be here long enough that even when you leave later, the city will still be running well, managed by your people. That's what happened to the other city that was controlled by the Adventure. In addition, this is also a mission where I leave a reward for you when you complete it. Someone will give the reward to you later."

"Ohh, what's the reward?" Enzo became interested again as he realized that the ruler of this city had such a plan for his city.

"A skill called Void Collapse, which allows you to create a ball of energy that absorbs everything around it before exploding with the force of an exploding star." The city lord replied.

"This is a very powerful and terrifying skill. However, this skill is a little imperfect, it requires something called the Star Spirit to use it and you must tame it with your blood. Furthermore, blood that's too strong can't be used either as it can make the Star Spirit explode. The only thing that works is the blood of a Beginner Awakener or one who has just advanced to Expert Rank. Well, this is actually the main reason we chose beginners because our best rewards will only be of interest to beginners. When you start managing this city, you will get the Star Spirit first," he added.

There are indeed skills that require something to use. This is usually for very complicated skills.

Unfortunately, since it was a skill, Enzo could not help but knit his brows.

If what he was offering was a treasure, he would be interested, but a skill, no matter how amazing it was, he had no interest at all.

With enough Intelligence, he could create a skill like the one offered by the city lord, and he could even create a type that did not require any objects.

'If it's like this, I might as well sell this city,' he thought.

Of course, ruling a city was advantageous, but he didn't really have the skills to lead people.

He had no confidence in himself. Only if there were greater benefits, only then could he try to impose himself.

If not, then he would not be excited.

After all, by selling a city, he would earn a lot of money that he could exchange for many things.

After a moment of thought, he picked up the city's lord ring then asked, "this city has become my right, do you mind if I prefer to hand it over to someone else?"

He smiled as he asked that while the city lord's expression froze.

"Wh-Why do you want to hand it over to someone else? Don't you want to take control of this city and earn rewards from taking care of it?" He asked in a somewhat trembling tone.

It seemed that he did not expect him to have such an idea after being told the rewards of managing this city.

"Everyone has a different way of thinking," Enzo replied calmly.

He had no qualms about saying all this because the ring was already in his hand.

It was already his right as he had completed the challenge given.

Safety was naturally assured with the honest nature of the natives who were similar to NPCs in a game.
