"Infertility? What does this mean?" Myne, who was encountering the unfamiliar word "infertility" for the first time, scratched his head in confusion. He focused on it, hoping the appraisal would provide further explanation, and it didn't disappoint him.

[ Infertility: A medical condition that occurs when a person is unable to conceive a child even after having regular unprotected sex for at least 12 months. ]

"Aha!" Myne exclaimed softly with a surprise. "So that's why the fatty couldn't get Rosewell or any of the others pregnant. If I could, I'd definitely give him a few dozen more such disorders. The bastard deserves it," He muttered angrily, moving on to Gristle's skills, which didn't look simple no matter how you looked at them.

[ World Weaver:

Description: The World Weaver is a dark and forbidden magic skill. To activate it, the caster must have absorbed the life essence and soul of at least ten individuals. This brutal act fuels the caster with a grotesque amount of raw magical energy. This energy, a twisted echo of the stolen lives, allows the World Weaver to tear open a temporary rift between two worlds.

The portal leads to a completely random world, chosen by chaotic magic fueled by the devoured souls. The caster has no control over the destination; however, after visiting a world once, he can return as long as he has enough magical and soul energy.

The portal is small and highly unstable, barely large enough for a person to squeeze through. It flickers in and out of existence, demanding a constant expenditure of the stolen energy to maintain. The portal remains open only for a short period of a few minutes, forcing the caster to return before it collapses entirely. Each use of the World Weaver requires a fresh sacrifice of at least ten lives.

The more lives the caster sacrifices, the higher the level of the world the caster can travel to.

Cooldown Time: Once A Year ]

"Huh? Hold on a minute, so this skill allows the fatty to contact those weirdos from another world? No wonder they treat him so well. Turns out he's their only hope of entering this world and reaping any benefits they can find here until their own portal is ready. Now everything makes sense, but I wonder how many lives he sacrificed to open the portal to that six-moon world."

"With the size of everything there, especially those colossal birds who were no less big than a dragon, that is surely a higher-level world than this one. The number definitely wouldn't be in the three digits. However, there is no lack of bad people in the world. I can give it a try after I become free, maybe there is some unexpected surprise?" Myne pondered while rubbing his chin.

He had no psychological burden of sacrificing a few dozen or hundreds of bad guys if they could help him travel to other worlds, and reap unimaginable benefits.

[ Life Siphon:

Description: This is a forbidden ritual from the dark arts. The caster sacrifices a small portion of their own life force, around a few months to one year. By etching a sigil with the blood of a willing blood relative onto any part of their bodies, the caster creates a magical link.

Afterwards, even if the caster dies a violent or unexpected death, the sigil will exchange the caster's death with the relative, and within 3 hours, he will be reborn in the place he died, in his prime physical condition before his death.

Cooldown Time: None ]

"...Now I understand why the fatty is so desperate to have children. If I had such a godly skill, I wouldn't hesitate to mark a few of my own children either, after all, who doesn't love his life?

It seems the fatty doesn't have any other blood relatives, and after realizing he can't impregnate any woman and loses his most powerful life-saving skill before he is even able to use it once, he simply goes crazy."

"After all, for a guy like him who can travel to unknown worlds full of danger, this is simply a must-have skill. Who knows, he might accidentally travel in front of a powerful monster and lose his life before even realizing it. He wouldn't have time to cry over his bad luck."

"A bastard like him deserves this misfortune," Myne smirked, his mood lifting at the fatty's woes. "But now since I have this skill, maybe it is time to think about children, before this, I had no plan of having children until I reached 25, but now with this skill, maybe I need to change some plans."

He finally turned his attention to the last skill when thinking about whom he should choose to be pregnant first.

[ Sanguinem Pactum:

Description: This dark magic ritual utilizes the caster's blood relative as a conduit to unleash a devastating soul-rending attack. The caster can shoot a horrific, powerful energy attack from his hand, and upon contact, the target's life force is viciously ripped from their soul, severing the connection between their soul and body.

This is an instant kill skill, absolutely bypassing physical and magical defences.

However, the attack requires direct physical contact with the target, making it difficult to use against agile opponents. Obstacles that are not physically attached to the target can disrupt the flow of energy, rendering the skill useless. This magic demands a blood sacrifice, a horrifying cost that can be a significant moral hurdle for the caster. A Life for a Life!

Cooldown Time: 5 Minutes ]

"...AAHAHAHAHAH!"

Myne himself couldn't pinpoint what he found so humorous in this skill, but he couldn't stop laughing and almost shed tears. The way he looked at the fatty was no longer as cold and furious as if he wanted to eat him alive; instead, it turned into one full of Schadenfreude.

In a fit of manic excitement, he even went to the unconscious fatty and gave him a few slaps on the back of his head with fake sympathy before ruthlessly stripping him of his skills and carefully pasting them onto himself.

Then, he quickly pasted the Ultra Regeneration skill onto the fatty, ensuring he could torture him to his heart's content without worrying about accidentally killing him from blood loss or heart attack, etc.

As soon as the skill was pasted, the fatty's body twisted slightly, white steam erupted from his body, and his severed arm began to regenerate. Within a minute, his eyes fluttered open.

"AHHHH! My arm! My arm, you bastard, what have you done? My arm... My arm? Huh?

Wasn't it cut off by you?"

The fatty, right after regaining consciousness, started screaming like a pig. He didn't realize that there wasn't a single pain in any part of his body. Instead, he looked at the smiling Myne before him and started yelling at him. However, halfway through, he saw his supposedly cut-off arm moving in front of him as he pointed his finger at Myne in anger.

Confusion replaced his anger, question marks swirling above his head. He couldn't help but utter a bewildered question:

"What nonsense are you babbling about?" Myne retorted coldly. "When did I cut off your arm? After I took off your bracelet, for a minute you lost consciousness, and when you woke up, you were already screaming like a pig," He added while looking for a good torture tool on the ground, and showing the fatty his backside, which was an unpleasant sight.

"Ohh? So that was just a nightmare?" The fatty's voice crackled with confusion and doubt because the pain he felt was so real, so vivid he could still recall it clearly. This made it hard for him to believe it was just a nightmare.

"Found it! Who knows, maybe you have gone crazy. By the way, I have a few questions to ask you. I hope you can calmly answer them like a gentleman and not make things difficult for both of us," Myne said while holding a Pincers. He walked in front of the fatty and spoke with a gentle smile before grabbing the fatty's free arm and putting handcuffs on it as well, so it wouldn't disturb his work.

Now that the fatty didn't have the bracelet, Myne didn't have to worry about him breaking free from the chains.

Sweat beaded on the fatty's forehead as he saw the Pincers in Myne's hand. "Gulp! Certainly, anything I know, I'll answer honestly. But can you please put that… that dangerous thing away? I don't feel well around iron objects. I think I might have an allergy." He spoke hurriedly but with full politeness, not wanting to offend Myne and invite disaster upon himself.

"Relax," Myne said, his smile still innocent like harmless to animals and humans. "I'm just taking a look at it. It's my first time seeing this kind of tool, so I was a bit curious and wondering what does it do exactly... You have used it a lot, right? Why don't you enlighten me?"

He then started a small chair for himself and a small wooden stool for the fatty. He put the fatty's poor left leg on the stool and pasted his leg there with the paste skill. He sat on the chair comfortably, wondering what kind of twisted explanation the fatty could offer in this kind of situation, where even world stupidest person can say what going to happened with him next.
