Synthesis
While looking at my stats, I noticed most of my skills have changed into a stronger version.
That is a good thing, but the problem was I couldn't control them at all.
For example, my [Abyssal Shadow Body: Lv1] before I evolved it turned my whole body into shadow, but now
I could hardly turn my hands in shadow.
So I decided to start another training with [Global Wisdom].
The objective of this training was to get used to the new skills and stats; if possible, also learn new magic skills.
"Huf, huf, how much longer do I have to keep this up?"
[Keep going; it's almost over.]
"This is maybe one of the hardest things I have ever done!"
[Well, I can only imagine how difficult it is, but this is the only way you have.]
"Get it. How much longer do I have to stay like this?"
[Just a couple of seconds...and done!]
[Ding!]
[You have learned the magic skills [Abyssal Shadow Store: Lv1].
"Finally I did it! Never would I have thought learning a storage skill without the space magic was so difficult."
[It will be useful in the long run and also because you said there was something in this place for you.]
"You're right; since we don't know what it will be, it is also good to be able to store the object."
It has been a couple of days since I started training. In these days, I was able to level some skills and also get familiar with the new ones.
Among them, the [Spider Thread] was the one I used the most, and it leveled up to level 5 and learned the [Cutting Thread: Lv2] skill; now I can use it as a weapon as well.
"What do we have to do now?" I said as I was checking my skills.
[Let me check, but I don't think there is anything else to do!]
While [Global Wisdom] was searching for a new training to do, something piqued my curiosity.
"Hm, hey, what does [Synthesis] do?"
[Hm? Ha, it's a necessary skill for an alchemist to create potions!]
"Why do I have something like this?"
[Well, ask it to the goddess; she was the one that gave it to you.]
"Eh!? Mother, give it to me?"
[That is right! I was against it, but she just did as she pleased.]
"Hmm..."
[What's going on?]
"I've got an idea, but before I try it out, can you tell me what this skill does?"
[Of course, it's commonly used by alchemists and blacksmiths to fuse two or more ingredients together.]
"As I thought!"
[!?]
"Is it possible to fuse skills as well?"
[...I'm not sure about it.]
"Well, if we don't try, we'll never know."
After I had made up my mind, I chose to try synthesis in two skills I usually don't use.
[Do you want to synthesize the following skills?]
"Yes!"
[You have acquired the active skill:
[Retractile Deadly Bone Claws: Lv1]
"Yee, it really worked!"
"I didn't expect fusing the skills [Bone Claws: Lv5] and [Deadly Poisonous Claws: Lv1] would give me something so useful."
I said as I tried the skill out.
The claws were a dark purple color, and they're around 22cm long, but it seems I could change it freely; I looked like a certain M*rvel character.
"It seems like the poison of the [Deadly Poisonous Claws] has been reinforced."
"I can't wait to try them out..."
"What's going on?"
[...take a look at your title.]
"My title, what is strange about them?" I said as I opened my status.
I could not say "no" since [Global Wisdom] looked worried about something, and effectively there was something strange.
"Eh, what is this new censored title!?"
[It's [Taboo]; the reason why is censured is because I'm hiding it from outsiders!]
"Eh, how did I acquire..."
[By synthesizing these two skills.]
"I see; well, I don't think it's something to worry about for now."
[Why so?]
"Well, I'm a monster right now, right?"
[Affirmative]
"So it will not be so strange if I acquire some taboo skills or titles."
[Well, you are not completely wrong.]
"With this aside, it's not like I'll stop just for a title.
If it becomes a problem, we will solve it when it comes, right?"
[Hem, ok!]
And just like that, I continued with my training.

"Hei [Global Wisdom], I'm tired of keeping training; can't we go and search for the weapon mother left me in this dungeon!?"
[I don't have anything to say against it!]
After hearing his affirmation, I started flying; literally, I spread my wings and took to the air.
It's one of the many things I learned while training, and personally, I find it the best thing I've learned all this time.
[Do you really like flying this much?]
"Absolutely! In my old world, I had never flown even once since I was afraid to fly in the plane. So flying like this for me is like a dream."
[Why were you so scared of the plane?]
"Well, people said it's the safest way to travel, but unlucky as I was, most probably I would have found myself in a plane accident, and even if I survived, I would be in the middle of nowhere."
[I can't deny this possibility!]
"Eh?"
[Nothing! ...What's that?]
"What? I can't see anything!"
[Right information of us after dose walls, i can sense a lot of presences.]
"Understood!" And just like this, I started flying as fast as I could.
In no time, I found myself standing in front of gigantic doors.
"Hem, do you maybe know what doors this big are doing inside a monster's stomach?"
[How should I know it!]
"You got a point; then let me open it."
While walking towards the doors, I noticed some strange painted figures on the doors.
On the right door there is the figure of a woman with 8 wings; on the left door there was a figure that looked like a man. I could not completely figure it out, nor could I see his face; in the middle of both doors there was an eye similar to Mother's.
"Hey [Global Wisdom], do you know who those figures are? I recognize Mother Eye, but who are the other two?"
[They are ########...]
"Haaaa STOP; STOP STOOOP!"
[Sorry, I forgot about the curse.]
"Ha, I feel like my brain is going to explode... As a skeleton, it was more manageable."
After recovering from the headache, I open the doors.
Before I could even enter, a trap was activated, and I was attacked by poisoned arrows.
Well, till here there was no problem since my poison resistance has a high level, but the problem
was that these "arrows" were about the size of a spear.
"Heee, was it really mother the one that built this place or a psycho!?"
[Do you really need an answer or...]
"Sometimes ignorance is a blessing..."
"Anyway, what do we have here?"
