"Not bad Morpheus, can you show me something else besides the extra menu skill?"

[The other skills included in me are: quest, mathematician, affinity, analysis,

inventory and identification]

Claud was speechless for a second after reading the list of possible skills thanks to Morpheus.

Fortunately, no one could see his dumbfounded face.

He was very often alone in his room or the village chief's residence because of his weak physique.

'According to Morpheus, I started at level -1 because I unconsciously associated the existence of Pagma's descendant with a level... below 1'

This greatly disappointed his father.

He's supposed to be the chief's son, but he's known in his residence as "fragile."

His body is very pale, but also thin for an ogre his age.

"Especially since I've been watched almost all the time"

It's only today that he had enough autonomy and freedom in the family residence.

"Can you show me the abilities related to the unique skill, Pagma's heir?"

[Affirmative]

[The unique skill: Pagma's heir...]

"I see, this isn't different from my memories about the inheritance abilities"

The menu had already displayed this as class skills, but it was in Satisfy format.

For example, the legendary blacksmith creation skill.

It's displayed as an active class skill in the menu, but Morpheus explains that this world recognizes it as an extra skill.

That's also why Morpheus's own abilities like analysis and mathematician aren't shown by the menu skill.

"Morpheus... how can I become strong according to your calculations and current data"

[Analyzing request...]

[3 options selected, but only two are currently feasible]

"Why are you taking so long? Don't make me beg"

Claud had the feeling of using a slow web browser, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Morpheus always acts like this.

He's reserved and rarely speaks first or never develops a topic without his agreement.

[Sorry, I'll explain now.]

[The first option is leveling up by killing creatures thanks to the Menu extra skill functions.]

"W..what?! I can level up?"

While observing the level on the Menu skill, Claud hadn't paid too much attention to it.

He just thought: yeah, this thing just wanted to show a status similar to Overgear.

[Yes, the menu imitates and imposes certain aspects of the Satisfy game on you]

[This may seem wonderful, but there are also flaws like the rules governing classes in the Satisfy game]

'I see, it's a bit like the Magic Sense extra skill'

The latter allows translating unknown languages or seeing up to 360 degrees thanks to magicules in the air, which carry information or an individual's intention.

Except that the Menu skill doesn't decode information, but it modifies it.

Precisely, it modifies the information called Claud in the world's system.

"If the voice of the world hasn't acted, then it's authorized by him"

This wasn't really an overpowered ability, because Morpheus's menu is limited.

It's just an extra skill managed by a unique skill... there are even restrictions.

It's far from cheat powers, which are easily found in these worlds.

[Besides the first option, which is also out of reach for a 1-year-old child]

[There's the Quest extra skill option, but it's unpredictable and depends on your actions]

Hearing this, he asked a question that bothered his mind while looking at the menu.

"So the unique skill Pagma's Heir is also... incomplete because of the menu and the Quest extra skill?"

[Affirmative...]

Claud didn't lose his cool at this news, contrary to his usual personality.

'... it's normal, it's the inheritance, not Pagma's power'

He already expected to have to fulfill the conditions related to the class to access all its aspects.

"And the last option..."

He could already guess, but he still asked.

[You are a blacksmith... so you must forge and gain skill points to increase your statistics in the menu]

"... yeah, I knew" after letting out a frustrated sigh.

The little ogre walked alone in the Japanese-style corridor.

He passed some servants, but none paid him too much attention despite his age of one year.

'Monsters' worldview is really different from humans''

It didn't take long before he stole a small knife from the kitchen and withdrew.

"Morpheus, identify this thing"

[Identification of sashimi knife in progress...]

[Identification complete]

Name: sashimi knife

Rarity: normal

Durability: 6/6

Attack power: 3-6

[Your understanding of the sashimi knife is 100%]

[You understand how to make a sashimi knife]

"... I see, the blacksmith was lazy"

Unconsciously, the effect of the legendary class pushed Claud to see this knife as a failure.

It wasn't because of the knife's low rank, but because of the blacksmith's act of creating a mass-produced object without putting himself into it.

"Weird... I.. I feel like I know how to use this thing better" he said, waving the blade in the air.

He hadn't become an expert in the art of using a knife to kill, but he knew very well how to use it for its original purpose.

Cutting fish to make sashimi.

'I remember that this ability of my legendary class isn't infallible'

For example: if Claud understands a katana 100%, could he become a master swordsman in one go?

No

He'll just know how to use it efficiently because he understands the katana.

It's just a trick or side effect of understanding a weapon or object.

Claud just knows how to use it efficiently, but against people with experience?

'That's the limit of this ability inherent to the legendary class: Descendant of Pagma'

If he wants to make up for this flaw, he'll have to gain experience himself against various opponents and monsters.

"Anyway, I have plenty of time and I'm level -1"

You have to understand that the Satisfy game's leveling system gives 10 skill points for each level gained.

Claud started at level -1, which means he'll have 20 skill points at level 1.

-1 => 0 => 1

Thus, he'll have a stronger starting point than other ogres.

"I.. I can't access a forge, but a blacksmith doesn't necessarily need a forge to craft objects and weapons"

Without further delay, he left the house.
