" Loki?"
In the cluttered Divine Room, Divine Script symbolizing Blessing of the Gods still floated behind Leo, emitting a faint, eerie light that illuminated the surroundings.
Noticing that the Chief God behind him had suddenly stopped moving, Leo, regaining his senses, immediately called out to him.
"It's alright, the Falna has already been bestowed successfully."
Loki took a long time to respond, his slightly open eyes closing again as if nothing had happened.
"Let's write down your stats and translate them into Common Tongue. Wait a moment."
With that, Loki pulled out a parchment from the table beside him and began to work on it.
Leo took this opportunity to turn his back to the full-length mirror in the room and see the condition of his back through the mirror.
There, a jet-black mark was etched onto skin that had previously been bare.
The engraving resembled both a stone tablet and a coat of arms, roughly the shape of a clown's head, with numerous obscure and mysterious characters depicting it, giving the clown's image a mysterious atmosphere and making it seem less comical and eerie.
This is the Falna that the gods have inscribed on their own followers, that is, their ability value.
"Alright." Loki handed the parchment to Leo, saying, "Take a look for yourself."
Leo took the parchment and began to read it.
The stats etched on their backs are written in Divine Script, a script that circulates only among the gods. Few beings in the Lower World can write or read it. Therefore, after updating the stats of their clan members, each clan's Chief God translates it into the Common Tongue of this world so that the clan members can understand it.
It's worth mentioning that although Leo doesn't understand the Common Tongue of this world, he has been able to communicate with anyone in this world without any problems since he transmigrated here.
If it weren't for that, he might not have been able to communicate with Ais when he first transmigrated, and Ais might have brought him back instead.
During this year, besides helping with some logistical work within the Familia every day, Leo spent the rest of his time learning basic swordsmanship from Ais. The other members of the Familia also taught him the Common Tongue, so as long as it wasn't too profound, Leo could now read the Common Language.
Thus, Leo easily obtained information about his own ability stats.

One "skill"
c
Unable to interpret.
As a standard novice who has just been inscribed with the Blessing of the Gods, Leo's basic abilities are naturally all 0, and his level is also the lowest, Lv.1.
"Strength," "Endurance," "Dexterity," "Agility," and " Demonic Power "—the five most basic ability values—are divided into ten stages from high to low: S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I. The number following each ability value represents its proficiency.
0-99 is 1, 100-199 is H, 200-299 is G, and so on. 700-799 is B, 800-899...
That's A, 900-999 is S.
The proficiency level of these ability items only increases when the user uses that ability, and the higher the level, the higher the level.
The more difficult it is to improve, the more one's potential may be insufficient, and one may even be unable to grow any further after reaching a certain stage. This is especially true for the highest S stage, which is reached by only a very small number of geniuses among the countless people in the world who have been Blessing of the Gods. Even in a major faction like the Loki Familia, which has reached the top in Orario, there are only a handful of people within the family who possess S-stage abilities.
Leo already knew all this, so he quickly skipped over his basic abilities and looked at the magic and skills section.
This is the most important part.
Magic and skills are not limited to whether one is a novice or not; even someone like Leo, who has just received Blessing of the Gods, may possess them.
Magic, as the name suggests, is the power that can cause Supernatural Phenomenon. In the past, it was something that only a select few races born with magic could access. However, after the gods Lower World and brought miracles known as " Blessing of the Gods," everyone in the Lower World, regardless of who they were, had the opportunity to obtain magic.
At least one, at most three. The Blessing of the Gods will generate magic slots the instant they are created. Once a magic slot appears, one can learn the magic corresponding to that number of slots. However, most people's magic slots will be empty. Only by having a great interest in or identification with something can one possibly be inspired. If one does not receive inspiration, one may never learn magic in one's lifetime. Therefore, the discovery of magic is still a matter of chance.
Skills are similar; they are influenced by a person's significant experiences, nature, and interests. One may acquire them or not. The only difference between skills and magic is that there is no limit to the number of skills one can acquire, and unlike magic which can be actively used, skills are generally abilities that can bring about special effects under certain conditions.
Everyone starts with the same basic abilities, starting from zero, so there's no need to focus on them at the beginning. But magic and skills are different. If you can acquire powerful magic or skills from the start, it can definitely affect your entire life.
Knowing this perfectly well, Leo was naturally most concerned about magic and skills, as these would determine how far he could go in the future.
He didn't expect to acquire magic from the start, since obtaining magic was truly a matter of chance. Even many members of Loki Familia didn't have magic, including Level 1 adventurers of level 5 or higher.
If one could acquire magic, it would definitely be something that would set them apart from the crowd of ordinary people.
In Orario, adventurers without magic make up more than 70%, possibly even more, proving that magic remains a privilege for a minority.
Leo's greatest expectation for himself is naturally to gain magic, but he won't be disappointed if he doesn't, as long as he doesn't become a blank slate like Raul, he will be satisfied.
That's right, the Lv.4 who was valued by the clan leader had neither magic nor skills; he was a true blank-slate super soldier.
If Lv.4 is like this, then Lv.1 is even more so. Being able to obtain magic or skills is definitely something to celebrate.
Leo only hoped he wouldn't be a blank slate like Raul, but he never expected that he would actually gain magic.
"[ Meteor Dance ]----"
Leo's eyes lit up as he looked at the magic name displayed on the parchment.
But before he could even feel happy, the situation in his skill bar left him completely stunned.
"What's this?"
Leo pointed to the skill displayed as [] and looked at Loki with a surprised expression.
How would we know?
Loki, however, said it in a very straightforward manner.
"You... you don't know?"
Leo was completely dumbfounded.
"Didn't you see the label on it?" Loki said irritably, "Undecipherable, which means exactly what it says. This skill has manifested, but damn it, for some reason, I can't decipher its meaning. It almost made me wonder when I became illiterate and couldn't even read Divine Script anymore."
These words made Leo frown at first, and then fall silent.
If it were someone else, they would probably find this situation very confusing, right?
Leo is different.
He suddenly remembered that in the original story, someone else experienced the same situation as him.
Cassandra Illion, an adventurer of the Apollo Familia at level 2, possesses a unique skill that defies explanation; even its name cannot be represented by Divine Script, making it extremely mysterious.
Now, it seems I've acquired a special, inexplicable skill, just like that person.
"----Why?"
Leo looked at his skill list, puzzled.
Is it because I'm Transmigrator?
Or is there something mysterious about myself?
Did I acquire a skill, or not?
I guess so?
But what are the effects of this skill? Who can tell me?
Leo couldn't help but look at Loki.
"Don't underestimate me, this is the first time I've encountered a situation like this either." Loki spread his hands, saying meaningfully, "All I know is that you're definitely no ordinary person."
Even incomprehensible skills have appeared; if this isn't someone with a special background, then who is?
"Then what should I do? Pretend it doesn't exist?"
Leo frowned again.
"You can try to decipher it yourself," Loki said rather irresponsibly. "We can only keep an eye out for you, and we might try to find out more if we have time, but I think it's best if you handle this yourself."
" Orario has never been a peaceful place. If those insatiable, curious scumbags find out about your situation, who knows what they might do."
"So, it's safest to rely on your own understanding."
As he said this, Loki took the parchment from Leo's hand and wrote a message in the blank space below.
"Here, we've written down the information about this skill verbatim, without any translation. You can try to figure it out yourself."
After stuffing the parchment back Leo Leo's arms, Loki picked up the needle, pricked his finger, and dripped a drop of divine blood onto Leo's back, then traced it across the surface.
Shortly after, as a ripple spread across his back, Leo's stats vanished.
"I've locked your stats, so even if someone wants to see them, they can't." Loki tossed Leo's clothes back to him, waving his hand and saying, "Alright, go play by yourself, don't disturb my nap."
"Oh, and remember to go see Finn; he probably has something to say to you."
Upon hearing this, Leo dressed, put away the parchment in his hand, and left Loki's room.
Loki, watching Leo leave, opened his eyes again, which he usually kept squinting, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Unfathomable... The unknown of the Lower World is truly fascinating."
On the other side, Leo, having left Loki's Divine Room, did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood with his back to the door, stunned for a long time.
His gaze returned to the parchment in his hand, fixed on the undecipherable text.
That wasn't any script that Leo was familiar with.
Even the gods couldn't understand it, so naturally, he, a novice who had only recently begun learning the Common Tongue, couldn't possibly understand it either.
However, when Leo saw this text, he felt the same way he did when he first transmigrated here: he didn't understand the writing and language of this world, yet he was able to comprehend it.
Therefore, he understood the meaning of the text.
People of the Alien Star
• Permanently removes all ability restrictions.
--
After reading the meaning of this text, Leo remained silent for a very long time.
[ People of the Alien Star ]----?
"Truly living up to its name."
Leo gave a self-deprecating laugh.
He understood; this was something he had discovered by transforming his essence from another world into skills.
Although we don't know the specific effects of this skill, we can only take it one step at a time.
Thinking of this, Leo crumpled the parchment in his hand, destroying his ability information.
He then descended the spiral staircase down the Central Tower and re-entered the atrium.
The blonde, golden-eyed girl is no longer here; I wonder where she went.
Leo didn't pay any attention, and after figuring out the direction, he headed towards the tower to the due north.
Leo walked up the tower and soon arrived at a room.
This is the private room and office of the leader of the Loki Familia.
"I'm Leo, may I come in?"
Leo knocked on the door and asked a question.
"Come in."
Almost immediately, a childlike voice with a mature air rang out, which was very contradictory.
"Excuse me."
Leo pushed open the door and entered the office, which was connected to the personal room of the clan leader.
The office is quite spacious, with bookshelves filling an entire wall, a carpet that resembles a brightly colored floral crown, a white stone fireplace, and a tall, straight clock that looks like a crystallized Magic Stone. The overall color scheme is brown, creating a calm and sophisticated atmosphere.
In the office, the most eye-catching thing is a textile painting hanging on the wall above the fireplace at one end of the bookcase.
It was a portrait of a goddess woven with many gold and silver threads, depicting an armored woman surrounded by spears and other weapons.
The clan leader was seated at the back of the office, behind a large desk that seemed disproportionate to his small stature.
"You're here, Leo."
A childlike voice, seemingly mature yet actually childlike, rang out again. The boy, short as a child, smiled at Leo, his manner approachable and friendly.
Finn Timna, a Prum warrior who appears to be just a young boy, is the commander of the entire Loki Spring Familia.
Despite his youthful appearance, he is actually forty-two years old this year, and his level is Lv.6.
