Next Morning…
*Blink-Blink*
Leon slowly opened his eyes and noticed that a glowing torch on the dungeon’s wall.
He slowly turned to his right and saw Elaine sleeping naked right next to him.
*Yawwwn*
Leon stood up from the stone bed and yawned as he started getting dressed up.
After getting dressed… Leon started walking towards the throne.
“I greet my master.” Elis spoke as she appeared in front of him and bowed down immediately.
“Hello Elis…” Leon spoke with a smile as he immediately activated his skill.
<Skill Crafter>
’It’s been a while since I made a skill… Even though I haven’t mastered the previous ones, but I need to make these skills.’ Leon thought in his mind.
[Please pick a name for the skill…]
“Pain’s Recovery.”
[Skill ’Pain’s Recovery’ has been created.]
[Rank has been settled to ’F’ by default.]
[State the use of skill.]
“A passive skill that get’s triggered whenever the user get’s hurt 5% of the his total mana will be deducted in order to gain a regen stack.
One regen stack will boost the user’s natural regeneration by 1%.”
’I wanted to make a regeneration skill from day one… But, I couldn’t get the right words for it. I don’t know if this will get accepted or not.’ Leon thought with a smile as he looked at the words floating in front of him.
[Processing…]
[Error: Skill’s description doesn’t match the skill’s rank.]
“Shit…” Leon thought as he looked at the screen but suddenly, another screen popped up in front of him.
[Note: Define the maximum number of stacks the skill can give.]
“Ah… Looks like system figured it out but I still have a walk around.” Leon thought with a smile as an idea came to his mind.
“The skill can stack until the user runs out of mana.” He spoke with a smile.
[Processing..]
“Come on… Come on…” Leon thought with a serious expression as he looked at the screen.
[Description has been accepted.]
“Fuck Yes.” Leon spoke with a wide smile as he looked at the screen.
[Estimated mana cost to use the skill has been calculated, 20 mana/use. 5% of total mana per stack. ]
[Cooldown has been calculated, 30 seconds after every the user runs out of mana.]
[Would you like to learn the skill or Destroy it ?]
“Learn.” Leon spoke with a smile.
[Congratulations ! You have successfully learned the skill {Pain’s Recovery}]
“Well then… It’s time to test it.” Leon spoke with a smile as he immediately opened his inventory and pulled out the Nyxter.
“Thread…”
Leon binded the invisible mana threads to one of Nyxter’s blade and placed his fingers over it.
*Chk*
The blade slowly moved away and left a cut over Leon’s finger.
<Pain’s Recovery>
[-27 MP]
[+1 Regen stack]
’I don’t see much effect.’ Leon thought as he looked at the cut closely.
“Oh well… Looks like I need to get more cuts in order to get sufficient stacks for instant regeneration.” Leon thought as he immediately placed the Nyxter back into his inventory.
“Take me to the fifth floor.” Leon spoke as he immediately vanished.
….
Fifth Floor, Dungeon…
*Swish*
Leon appeared on the fifth floor and noticed Fruela training with her daggers in an empty corner of the room.
*Swish-Swish-Swish*
Everytime her daggers moved, they cutted through the air and made a whistling sound.
“Make sure you don’t hurt the walls.” Leon spoke with a smile as he started walking towards her.
“Master, Good morning.” Fruela spoke as she immediately bowed down to Leon.
“Morning is not going to be very good for me after what I am going to tell you.” Leon spoke with a smile.
“Something wrong, master ?” Fruela asked with a confused expression.
Without speaking another word… Leon took off his shirt and looked at Fruela.
Suddenly, Fruela’s face glowed brightly red as she immediately turned around.
“M-Master… A-Are we going to do that ?” She asked with a shy and hesitated voice.
“Unfortunately… No. You can turn around.” Leon replied with a smile.
Fruela slowly turned around and looked at Leon, her face still red.
“Tell me… How many cuts can you make on my body in one second ?” Leon asked.
“Cuts ?” Fruela asked with a confused expression.
“Yes… This size cuts.” Leon spoke as he showed his finger to Fruela.
“About twelve to fifteen… Master.” Fruela replied with a neutral expression as she looked his finger.
“Good… Make them on my back as fast as you can and as many as you can.” Leon spoke as he immediately sat down on the ground and stuffed his mouth with a handkerchief.
“B-But master… How can I hurt you ?” Fruela asked with a confused expression as she looked at Leon.
“You are helping me… Darling. Just do it.” Leon spoke as he pulled the handkerchief out of his mouth and placed it back in after that.
“Y-Yes… Master.” Fruela spoke with a hesitated expression as she walked upto Leon and holded her dagger right over his back.
“Phew…” Fruela let out a warm breath from her mouth and suddenly, her dagger made a line of small cuts all over Leon’s back.
*Cut-cut-cut-cut-cut-cut-cut*
“MNGHHHHHHFFF…” Leon shouted loudly as he clenched his fists so tightly that his nails started to dig in his palm.
[-27 MP]
[+1 Regen stack]
[-10 HP]
[-27 MP]
[+1 Regen stack]

…
Instead of focusing on pain Leon started looking at the screens popping in front of him.
As his back got covered in blood… Fruela looked at the cuts with a tense expression.
“M-Master… Should I stop ?” She asked with a hesitated expression.
Leon simply raised his hand and shaked it… Telling her to make more cuts.
“Y-Yes…” Fruela spoke as she immediately raised her dagger once again and made even more cuts over the previous cuts.
This process continued for the next one minute but suddenly, Fruela stopped making cuts in Leon’s back.
“Master… The cuts. They are healing, so fast.” She spoke with a shocked and surprised expression.
“Hah…” Leon finally pulled the handkerchief from his mouth and stared at the screen in front of him.
[+120 Regen stacks]
’That hurted like hell… Fuck. I can’t even activate adaptive body, because If I did that… I won’t feel any pain and the stack won’t work.’ Leon thought in his mind as he stood up and turned around to look at Fruela.
“Master… Are you alright ?” She asked with a worried expression.
“Cut off my pinky finger.” Leon ordered as he raised his hand towards Fruela.
“But master… Why would-”
“Just do it Fruela.” Leon replied with a serious expression.
“A-As you command, Master.” Fruela spoke as she immediately raised her dagger and placed it in front of Leon’s pinky finger.
“Phew…” Leon let out a slow and warm breath from his mouth.
’I am pretty sure that it should regenerate… But if this didn’t work. I will be in some serious problem.’ Leon thought with a serious expression.
“R-Ready, Master ?” Fruela asked with a hesitated expression.
“Yes… Cut i-” Before Leon could’ve completed his sentence, Fruela cut his finger cleanly.
*Chk*
*Thud*
The finger immediately fell down the ground and instead of a new finger growing on Leon’s hand… The injured spot got sealed by new skin and it looked as if he never had a pinky to begin with.
“Fuck…” Leon spoke with a serious expression as he looked at his pinky finger.
’The skill is not regenerating my body parts only injuries are being healed at an incredible speed.
I should’ve thought of that before.’ Leon thought as he immediately bent down and grabbed his pinky finger from the ground.
“Fruela make a cut on the same spot…” Leon spoke as he raised his hand towards Fruela.
“Yes master.” Fruela replied as she immediately placed her dagger over Leon’s hand and made a clean cut on the same spot.
*Chk*
As soon as blood started coming out, Leon placed his severed finger back on it’s place.
“Please, Please…” He spoke in a low tone with a serious expression.
Suddenly, muscles and bone of his hand started to extend to the pinky finger and in just a few seconds his pinky got re-attached.
“Phew…” Both Leon and Fruela let out a breath of relief as they looked at pinky finger.
’Why is this happening ? This skill should be able to regenerate any part of my body…’ Leon thought with a confused expression.
“Master… The healing speed of your body is amazing. Only a high-class priest can cast these types of healing spells.” Fruela spoke with a neutral expression as she looked at Leon.
“Phew… Okay, I am going now. Take me to the seventh floor.” Leon spoke as immediately disappeared.
…
Seventh Floor,
*Swish*
After re-appearing on the seventh floor, Leon didn’t wasted another second and started doing push-ups on the ground.
’Now… This skill will support me in doing extreme workouts that are going to make my physique better.’ Leon thought in his mind as he continued the push-ups.
