16: Current Skills
<em>Huh?</em> Beatrice blinked twice. <em>They’ve made so little progress? I could’ve sworn that fat guy was about to blow his load at least five minutes ago! I was analyzing my stats and reading information tabs all this time, and yet…</em>
Beatrice did not have a watch to look at the time, but she had the next best thing her character’s information in which three of her stats had a clearly defined recovery rate per second. Beatrice popped open her information and checked the one stat that was recovering in points.
<table width="406">

<td style="border-style:solid" width="203">Arousal Points</td>
<td style="border-style:solid" width="203">1/30 (+0.01/sec)</td>

</table>
<em>That confirms it!</em> Beatrice thought. <em>No matter how the system rounds up the Points to full, no more than three minutes could have possibly passed.</em>
Beatrice could have sworn that she spent a lot of time analyzing her stats and reading the information tabs. But Beatrice’s system information was manifesting inside her mind. Reading through several pages of a book might take minutes, but the thoughts and processes inside a human—or in this case, a Subus’s—mind operate on another level.
Beatrice had no intention to waste a single moment while she waited for the High Priest to be done with Helen<em>. Better learn as much as I can about myself within the system while I have the time, </em>Beatrice thought. <em>The skills! The ss description implied I should have arge variety of them. Most of the cool skills probablye atter levels and might take considerable effort to unlock, but I need to understand what I have to work with right now. Before I get to those Skill Points I was offered for leveling up.</em>
<em>Now, how to get that information?</em> Beatrice wondered and tried imagining in her mind what her skill tab could look like. <em>Skills?</em>

<em>Bingo!</em> Beatrice smiled and proceeded to check her skills one by one.

<tr>
<td style="border-style:solid;width:594px" width="594">
<strong>Skill Name: Unnatural Beauty</strong>
Skill Rank: B
Type: Mischief Craft / Passive
Cost: -
Cooldown: -
Description: Such is the beauty of a Subus that few can resist staring at her. Many may find the subus to be the most beautiful female they have everid their eyes on. Great willpower or B-Rank and higher protective spells are required to remain unaffected by the Subus’s beauty.

<strong>Skill Name: Subus''s Wings</strong>
Rank: F
Type: Combat Craft / Passive
Cost: -
Cooldown: -
Description: Tiny wings on Subus''s back. Hardly anything more than decorative.
Can protect from fall damage by additional 2 feetpared to humans.

<strong>Skill Name: Subus''s Thermoregtion</strong>
Rank: E
Type: Combat Craft / Passive
Cost: -
Cooldown: -
Description: The Subus’s body is able to control its body temperature slightly more effectively than a Human. This allows the Subus to withstand colder and warmer climates for long periods of time before suffering damage or ailments such as frostbite, ultimately making it easier to wear skimpy outfits.

<td style="border-style:solid;width:594px" width="594">
<strong>Skill Name: Subus''s Tail</strong>
Rank: F
Type: Eros Craft / Passive
Cost: -
Cooldown: -
Description: One of the lesser-known weaknesses of a Subus. With little protection from damage, the tail is also one of the Subus’s most sensitive erogenous zones. Even grabbing a Subus’s tail can severely weaken them. The full extent of the debilitating impact depends greatly on the extent of the Subus’s Arousal.

<em>Wait, what!? </em>Beatrice was shocked at the discovery she made just now. The first thing she did was wrap her tail around her waist to keep her weakness close and out of reach of prying hands. <em>Did Subi really have such a weakness? </em>Beatrice had to admit that she did not know much about Subi apart of their mythical great powers and fondness for carnal pleasures.<em> I’ll need to be more careful in the future.</em>

<td style="border-style:solid;width:594px" width="594">
<strong>Skill Name: Futanari Subus''s Dick</strong>
Rank: E
Type: Eros Craft / Passive
Cost: -
Cooldown: -
Description: Even among the already-rare Subi, a rarer being still is a Futanari Subus. Possessing the reproductive organs of both genders, it is the only type of Subus that can sessfully impregnate female Humans.
The five-inch dick of a Subus might not look like much at first, but what itcks in length it makes up with its veiny girth, insuring a "tight fit" in nearly every situation.
A sessful climax lowers Arousal by 5 Points.

<em>No cooldown? That’s what Victoria said, </em>Beatrice smiled at her little joke.

<strong>Skill Name: Futanari Subus''s Semen</strong>
Rank: E
Type: Eros Craft / Toggle
Cost: -
Cooldown: 60s
Description: The Sperm of a Futanari Subus cannot impregnate unless the Subus chooses to do so. Self-impregnation not possible no matter how much a sex-crazed Futanari Subus may wish to do so.
Upon ejaction can release up to 50ml of semen at high velocity. The amounts of semen decrease rapidly with each consecutive climax.

Beatrice nced at the naked Victoria. The subus had no conscious intention of getting the blonde pregnant, and yet she had mixed feeling about her discovery that Victoria was beyond a doubt “safe”. Obviously, Beatrice would not want to get any woman pregnant unless the woman wished for it. And yet. And yet. What was this fleeting feeling of subtle disappointment? Was it the “male” part of her that had the natural urge to spread its seed? And to know that there was no chance. No risk. Unless she decided to. Only one way or the other with a hundred percent guarantee…
Beatrice tried not to dwell on the thought and checked her remaining skills.
<table width="96%">

<tr>
<td style="border-style:solid;width:594px" width="594">
<strong>Skill Name: Sharp ws</strong>
Rank: F
Type: Combat Craft / Toggle
Cost: 6 Stamina per minute
Cooldown: 10 seconds
Description: A Subus can extend its fingernails into sharp, long, deadly ws. Often considered as a sure tell sign of the Subus preparing forbat, it can also be a feign to scare off unwantedpany.
Once activated, increases the Subus’s Physical Attack by 25%.

<em>Well, that looks underwhelming, to say the least, </em>Beatrice frowned.<em> And it basically halts my Stamina regeneration. No wonder this skill is ranked as the bottom of the barrel. The “toggle” most likely means that I can activate and deactivate it at will. I’ll have to test it out at some point, but the cooldown is most likely in ce to prevent me from activating the skill for a split second during an attack and then toggling it off to conserve Stamina.</em>
<table width="96%">

<td style="border-style:solid;width:594px" width="594">
<strong>Skill Name: Daze</strong>

Type: Mischief Craft / Active

Beatrice let out a deep sigh. <em>Most of these are atrocious,</em> the subus concluded when she closed herst skill’s information tab. <em>There is no way I’m going anywhere near a fight with the abilities of this caliber. </em>
Going through her current skills reaffirmed Beatrice’s earlier strategic n—fucking her way to power. And she had to use her Skill Points ordingly.
