Warning long chapter!

{[Skill extraction may be used on this target.]}

I stare at the windows that float over every monster's body. Skill extraction? I know that Jin-Woo gained the skill Shadow extraction. He can extract the shadow of a dead person. So that means... that I can extract their skill?

{[Skill: Library of skills Lv.1]

Job-specific skill

No mana required.

-User can gather skills in the library, fuse and attribute skills to themselves of their followers.

-Due to the low level of the skill, the skills can only be extracted from dead beings. The possibility of a failed extraction increases in proportion to the target's stats and how long it had been since their death.

Number of skill slots: 5}

I understand. It works exactly the same as Shadow extraction, but instead of a soldier, I get a skill that I can offer to a myself or a follower – whatever these are. I guess that it's similar to a rune stone. I walk over to the mages.

{Notice

[Skill: Skill library Lv.1] was activated.}

{Library

Slot 1:

[Skill: Dungeon creation Lv.1] – x4

Slot 2:

[Skill: Light attack Lv.1] – x30

Slot 3:

[Skill: Shadow restraint Lv.1] – x30

Slot 4:

Empty

Slot 5:

Empty}

I stare at the window, surprised. I visibly extracted the skills of all the monsters in the cave. Every monster, but Orion. I jump over to the knight's body, wondering what went wrong with the skill extraction.

{Number of extractable skills: 3}

I have only two slots available at the moment, I can't extract all of these skills. First, I need to open a slot. But how?

As to answer my question, a new window pops up.

{[Skill: Follower forming Lv.1]

Job-specific skill

No mana will be consumed

The user can create new followers from the light and shadow. The creation works in pairs. Each follower must have been given a skill to survive creation. The followers will obey the user's every command.

Number of followers: 0/20}

So that's what the system meant by 'skilled followers'.

"Is there a way to have my followers always with me and be able to summon them whenever I can?" I ask.

This time, the Architect doesn't answer. Despite my disappointment, I am glad that they didn't. Last time they did, it terrified me. It was the first time I directly talked to the Architect, not the system. But I didn't expect them to answer. Knowing that they really are there, observing me, is blood curdling.
