Chapter 8
Mark decisively went back to the Space and Void Chancellor section and put his single Skill Point on Telekinesis. It was the only skill that he can immediately use for offense. Based on the Telekinesis help section, one skill point will allow him to move one kilogram of matter within five feet for adjustable amount of MP cost depending on the weight but the full one kilogram will cost him one MP per second. Mark also noticed that he will only know what adjustments will happen on level two of the skill once he actually put a point on it. Mark thought that it was inconvenient because he will not be able to plan the skill route right at that moment, although he knew that once he had enough skills and skill points, he would be able to intuitively calculate the power and MP cost of the skills he wanted to get. He idly wondered how many skills there were but based on what the system was hinting, there may be an unimaginable amount.
Mark was planning to use a kitchen knife since it was the only sharp item that can be considered a weapon that he can immediately use and after testing, he was a bit confident in using it. Wielding the knife using Telekinesis felt natural to him, as if he was holding it with his own hands. The best part was, he can wield multiple knives at once since the average weight of the knives were about two hundred grams each. At most, at level one Telekinesis, will let him wield five same weighted knives but since he only had two, those will be his weapon for now.
Mark practiced his Telekinesis for a couple of hours by cutting and stabbing things. He tested the strength of his Telekinetic cut and stab and made sure than he was an expert in the floating knives within five feet. He felt a bit hesitant because it felt like the skill at level one did not have enough strength to kill monsters. He just needed to make sure to hit vital areas like the eye or the neck. He also made sure to put a lot of sharp pointed things like a screw driver, in his inventory to use for Kinetic throw. All in all, he had manage to scrounge about thirty sharp pointed object.
Mark activated the portal and entered the first floor of the dungeon. He then practiced again for a few minutes by releasing about five items from his inventory and controlling them with his mind. He then threw three of them kinetically to the cave wall while making sure that the two knives were in front of him. He felt satisfied a bit when he hit the part of the wall that he intended to hit even though it was about ten feet from him. It was also a good thing that taking out items from his inventory did not cost him MP. He went and picked up the screw driver and the two short metal rod that he had thrown on the cave wall and put them on his belt. While holding the knives on each hand, and his heart beating like a drum, he went to the far section of the first floor and entered the portal to the second floor of the dungeon.
