Skill Creation in the Fantasy World

War.

It wasn't something Felix was familiar with.

Yes, he had heard a lot about all the wars going about in his previous world but fortunately, he was in the peaceful part of the world and thus never experienced it himself.

Even though he partook in many fights in the neighborhood and made trouble by injuring many people, it was not that serious with no one actually losing their lives.

But the notion of 'war' was a lot more different than that. It was a fight where a lot of people would get involved and the majority of them would die without even resisting.

So when he heard that the guild leader was issuing a meeting for war, Felix felt unwilling to believe that.

Just today, he went through something that could take his life if he was a bit careless. It was now fine as he defeated the enemies and had already recovered, but what if he was not that lucky the next time?

He contemplated the matter of a potential war with a frown.

'I don't think they would involve the unofficial members for a war but considering I already showed them that I could handle Rank 1 warriors, I'm not sure what they would do with me.'

That was what he was worried about. Now that he clearly displayed his power by killing the three enemies while being at Rank 0, he didn't know what the guild would decide on.

He sighed in resignation but didn't think it was a bad choice to have taken down those intruders. Because if he hadn't done so, then all the six of them would be nothing more than toys in the hands of their enemy.

Suddenly, he heard a lot of noise coming from the stairway as many members of the guild came down while chatting with each other. Their expressions were a mix of excitement and bloodlust as their loud footsteps echoed in the big hall.

Some of them noticed Felix standing at the reception and smiled with a certain look in their eyes. Among them, a grinning blonde-haired boy also walked down and made his way toward the reception.

"Hey, Felix! I heard you killed some members of our enemy guild on your mission."

There was a look of respect on his face as he didn't expect a small kid with such a weak body could take out such strong warriors.

Felix looked at him and remembered he was one of those three boys from yesterday and also the little brother of Miss Elsa whose name was Roven.

"Oh, that.....Umm, I didn't mean to. It was....."

He didn't know what to reply and ended up stuttering when Roven casually mentioned killing people with an enthusiastic face.

"It was amazing!"

But Roven thought otherwise and held Felix's hands with stars in his eyes and spoke in excitement.

"To think you could defeat three Rank 1 warriors all by yourself even though you're only at Rank 0. Do you even know how amazing that is?"

His voice turned loud as the other members who were around them nodded their heads in agreement and cheered him.

"You did a nice job, kid."

"Not bad for a newcomer."

"Right haha, I wish I could have joined you."

For them, it would not be that hard to defeat those simple buffoons but considering the kid was so weak and thin, it was a miracle how he could do it. As they were all from the same guild, they didn't feel inferior but thought it was great for such a capable kid to be amongst them.

Felix became embarrassed when all of them congratulated him for killing people but he accepted their compliments with a smile and nodded happily at them.

"Ah that, thank you very much haha."

Even Eric and Steve who were among the crowd looked at each other before shrugging and smiling themselves.

In the midst, Felix suddenly recalled the others and asked Roven.

"Oh Roven, do you know where Noah and the others are?"

The boy rubbed his chin deliberating before he shook his head and wanted to speak but an alluring voice interrupted him.

"Felix, you don't have to worry. Noah and the others are safe but they are currently resting at their homes."

He turned toward the stairs and sighed in relief hearing Miss Elsa say that the kids were fine. If something bad happened to them, then his efforts would have been for nothing.

Elsa reached the reception and told all the members to go back to their work before lightly hugging Felix. His head which reached only 150cm got buried in her soft chest as she slowly patted his head.

"I was worried when you got injured but everything's fine now that you are alright."

Surprised at the sudden closeness, his face turned slightly red as her body was fragrant and smelled nice. He felt he could fall asleep again on her soft mountains but before he could actually do that, she released him and stepped back.

Eric and Steve went back to chat with others and only Roven remained who smiled weirdly looking at the grinning boy who had just been hugged by his sister.

'Really? She is that kind? But she never treated me good...'

"Cough cough"

Felix broke out from his stupor and coughed hiding his embarrassment. He then looked at her seriously and changed the topic when he remembered what he heard in the flashback.

"Miss Elsa, will our guild go to war now?"

The sibling duo widened their eyes and appeared surprised that the boy could already guess what was happening. They thought he was smart and analytical for someone for his age and nodded inwardly.

Elsa stared at Felix while crossing her arms and turned serious as well before muttering in a low voice.

"Hmm, you are right. The guild leader just ended the discussion and decided to wage war on our enemy guilds."

Now it was Felix's turn to be surprised as his voice stuttered loudly.

"G-Guilds?? You mean there's more than one enemy guild?"

Roven interjected quickly and nodded at the stunned boy.

"Yes, but it's not like we went around and made enemies. Instead, they were the ones who were doing something bad while we only stopped them."

Elsa wanted to smack her little brother's head for interrupting but she also nodded with a pout when she heard what he said later.

"Indeed, we have more than one enemy guild but that isn't something to worry about, because we're strong enough to hold them back from doing anything.", she scoffed.

Hearing both of them vouch for their guild didn't calm down Felix as he felt the need to grow stronger and not be at the mercy of his enemies.

Becoming a slave once was already a terrible feeling and after escaping from that hellhole, he didn't want to experience getting the losing end of the stick ever again.

'It seems I have to focus on getting stronger to protect myself from this cursed fate of getting in trouble every time.'

Making up his mind, Felix asked the receptionist.

"Miss Elsa, what should I do in this war? Will I take part in the fights or.....?"

The blonde-haired duo looked at each other and stared back at the frowning small boy who was clenching his hands with an intense look in his eyes.

They didn't know if it was their mistake but his eyes were glowing eerily with a tinge of anticipation.

Elsa narrowed her eyes and considered the matter while walking to her seat behind the reception desk. She was not sure whether to let Felix join the war or just leave him out.

"Felix, I think you should...."
