After taking a look at his main stats, Aiden focused his thoughts and switched over to the second tab on the floating semi-transparent system screen, and opened up his Skills page.
The skills were the part where Aiden harvested the most rewards and earned the most bountiful rewards along his perilous journey through this wasteland of a realm. Through the several dozen absorbed life forces, he slowly, steadily gained more and more power, increasing his repertoire with each conquest, with each new soul energy he had fused into the ever-growing universe inside his own Primal Core.
Following his mental command, the screen blurred for a brief second before it cleared up again, showing the now familiar new slick design of his much cleaner Skills interface.

Primal Goblin Dragonlord - Clean - Tier 3 - (Mastery: 25%)]
With so many new knowledge being assimilated during the conquests and even beforehand, almost limitless experience poured into and merged with Aiden's mind, allowing him to gain new insights into many of his already existing skills.
Several of the most basic and even somewhat neglected ones have even reached their threshold and have directly evolved into their higher tiered versions. Hunt for example has directly evolved to the fearsome sounding [Predator of the Land], which further honed his already sharp senses to a frightening degree. At the same time, with all his innate, most powerful, ultimate skills have raised their ranks steadily through their continuous usage as well as the absorptions, it also boosted their connecting abilities at the same time.
As [Mystic Martial Arts] reached the mid tier mark and have increased to level 5, its prerequisite ability, Martial Arts have already reached its full completion and have evolved into [Martial Arts Master].
Still the two skills that benefited the most were[Shapeshifter] and not-so surprisingly the [Dark Gaze] skills along his so-far 3 week long journey. Whilst the former, [Shapeshifter] have gained two full levels and was close to its milestone, the mid-way mark, [Dark Gaze] have reached it, growing an astonishing four levels in three weeks thanks to its continuous usage.
Ever since Aiden realized he was watched by this so-called Ancient One, this guardian entity, he had never relaxed his awareness. Even during his rest, he had circulated this ability and utilized his guide as well as his system to keep vigorous watch.
Not knowing the full power of his opponent, Aiden never dared to get careless and give an opportunity to this unknown opponent to take the chance and crush him once and for all.
Even more so after learning a bit of this mysterious entity's past and learning how he betrayed not just his family but the entire world itself. Though its reasons were not revealed, the fact that he failed in his role was clear to see.
Yet, despite the spineless act of treachery, in the end, he became the sole victor, even if the price he had to pay was probably too high, he paid it.
Whatever the case, if he was a dark, twisted, corrupted entity, or was still sane and had perfectly valid reasons to do so, it didn't change the facts that he and Aiden stood on opposing sides and that if the Ancient One wanted to keep his power and dominance over these primitives of the surviving world, he had to remove the unknown factor from the equation and deal with Aiden at some point.
Another, not so small change that appeared was the fact that his individual weapon skills that he had picked along the way had finally merged together and have evolved into the [Weapon Mastery] skill. Whilst he still retained the only active sword skill he had inspired during his match back on Highrove's Adventurers Hall match against the swordmaster Patriarch Sir Arthur Sonovan, the Roaring Lion.
During their match, Aiden gained insight to a beautiful and incredibly powerful slash, the Profound Strike. Unfortunately, during his tenure in this world, Aiden had not met a single individual where he could exercise his martial talents, and could go on a true fight. Even the priests, the most elite forces of the Temple Guards were barely more than slightly stronger ants that he could easily defeat with a flick of his fingers.
Thus, he could not grow much in that regard and hoped to gain more understanding and mastery over his active attacks and hopefully master this beautiful slash with other type weapons.
At the same time, Aiden's recently gained skills, the [Speechcraft] and the [General's Command] have basically skyrocketed, both reaching almost to their full completion of their current, first tier from the initial first level they were created with.
Whilst both were passive abilities, their usage was still constant and their effects were visualized through the management of the many tendrils, the small forces Aiden had planted along the week of his gradual conquest and path towards complete domination of the outer districts of Ugburg. Aiden could also feel that they were both very close to breaking through and reaching their completion and was eagerly looking forward to what would eventually happen to them.
Whilst [General's Command] have mainly assisted him during his command, his leadership of the forces, Speechcraft continuously refined his mannerism, the way he articulated… basically everything related to how he spoke, how he expressed himself.
With the many deals he had made, and the fealties he accepted as well as the new servants he had subordinated along the way, this skill gained tremendous benefits.
As he was still deep in his own thoughts, he was alerted to the sound of commotion ahead forcing him to jump back to reality and open his eyes to take a look.
