“Every person has an equal amount of 8 skill slots. There are normal skills such as Physical Strength which take up 1 slot, but there are also rare skills which take up 4 to 5 slots, or even rarer ones which take up all 8 slots.” That’s what Old Man Hinga told me at the Orb Mine where they were unearthed. However, us “slaves” were unable to acquire skills under the effect of contract magic. It was on that fateful day. The noble who owns the mine, our “master” came to inspect the Orb Mine but the ceiling collapsed due to an earthquake and a lump of rock struck the noble’s head. The death of the noble is also the moment when our contract magic disappeared. The quick-witted slaves ran towards the warehouse where the Skill Orbs are stored. Then, taking away the rare skills, cleaving down the guards with unbelievable ability and magic, we leaped out of the mine. It was a riot. Late to the scene, there were no orbs I could pick up... It’s over. I’m going to become a slave again. In my time of despair, what I saw was the skill that occupies 10 Skill Holders, the “World Ruler”.
