246 [Yggdrasil’s Endurance]

Ugh, both options look very tempting! What should I pick? The first one or the second one?
Well… I guess I’ve already made up my mind, I will choose the one that will help me the most right now.
And like that, I had decided to pick this new Skill!
Ding!

When I selected the Skill, I suddenly felt as if some sort of heat was infused into my physical body, it was a brief feeling, but it gave me an all-encompassing feeling of greatness, as if I was growing tall and strong like a tree… It was only for a few seconds, but I still can remember it clearly and vividly… This was amazing.
This skill… the description changed as well. It shows up Skill Proficiency and also Level Bonus! With this, the Skill has become very strong now. However, I wonder what gives Skill Proficiency?
“Apparently, by doing exercise and activating the active effect of the skill, probably exercises that can enhance your stamina and endurance, although I wouldn’t recommend hurting yourself or something, that will only tire you, and you lack any sort of regeneration spell capable of healing wounds that could actually increase skill proficiency by a decent amount.”
I see, then I better just exercise for now. Doing blade swings works, right?
“It should, running around, and just overall doing any sort of activity that spends stamina.”
Alright, I get it now, it should be a fairly easy to level up skill then, but perhaps way slower than the Agriculture Skill that is now at Level 10, the max power a Skill can achieve.
Wait, did the Farmer Class really had such crazy Skills?
“It does. It seems that Classes are not well defined in the System, the creator God messed the order of things, and there are also various classes that lack a lot of skills as well… I don’t know what else could it be done for now, but it seems that that’s how it was made…”
Oh, I guess we’ll have to go along with it for now, anyways, I should really just rest for now and enjoy breakfast. I am pretty hungry…
“Sylphy, how did you slept? I know that the nights are colder now. Do you want me to conjure some magic in your tent to make it warmer?” Wondered my father.
“Oh, daddy, don’t worry about it.” I said. “I was actually wondering when are we reaching a new town? I have been thinking that for a while now… Nothing is happening other than just traveling endless through this place… Oh! And when are we moving back home to go look for the stuff?”
“A-About that, I went overnight and brought the things through the Spatial Storage.” Said my father.
“Eh?! You brought the entire house?! How come your space magic is so good?” I asked.
“I crafted a special rune for him to use that spell, it can only be used a couple of times before it disappeared, it took me almost a week to infuse it into his hand, so that he could use this spell well enough to bring our things. The house was left there though, Sylphy, we can’t bring a whole house with us.” Said my mother. “Don’t worry, it is being protected by our summons we left behind, they’ll also harvest food and more, and send it to us through teleportation of items.”
“Aww… I-I wanted to say goodbyes to Yggdra!” I said.
“Oh… R-Right…” Said my father looking at me with pity. “I am so sorry! I didn’t knew you wanted to do this so badly, I should had been more careful…” He sighed.
“Y-You should have!” I complained.
“Sylphy! Don’t treat your father like this.” Said my mother.
“A-Ah, sorry…” I sighed. “I-I got a bit… Well, but I am still angry. Why didn’t you told me you were going? I wanted to go as well… Now how long will it be until I see her again? Yggdra might be just some tree for you, but for me she was special… She gave me Naturia, and she always embraced me with her energies, she seemed happy to see me.”
“…I am sorry, Sylphy, I am just worried. I didn’t wanted to leave your mother nor you behind for too long so I decided to go on my own, at the speed I travel through the skies, if I bring you, you would actually die, unless I slow down considerably, which would make the entire trip last a long time… I wanted to finish things overnight, so I had to do this without telling you.” Said my father. “I-I understand how you feel, I promise you that when everything stabilizes, I will bring you back here.”
“…Okay.” I sighed, as I felt let down a bit. I mean, I understand why my father did this, but I really… am not going to see Yggdra for a while, aren’t I? Perhaps even years…
“But I remember you said you would bring our house and make it walk, what about that?” I asked.
“As your father said, he didn’t wanted to leave me alone for too long so we scratched that idea. We decided to leave our house there and protect it instead of bringing it into different places and dangers.” Said my mother. “I should also apologize for that, Sylphy, I am sincerely sorry, my daughter. I will… make up for it. I will bring you back for Yggdra when the time comes.”
“…”
I sighed once more, as I nodded weakly. I felt quite let down now, even more than before… But I was able to understand their point, but these feelings remained for a while. Yggdra, I hope you’re doing well.
