"Fucking hell!"
I knew the change was going to be significant, but I didn't expect it to be this substantial as I reviewed the extensive list of skills.
It's not the long line of skills that shocked me, but how fundamentally they have changed.
Every single one of them that was non-master skill before had become a master skill.
That is a big deal, not because more than half of my skills have advanced visibly, but because they have turned into Master Skills.
When legacy advances to Grade IV, Master's skills change fundamentally.
Many of them could be used outside. They would not be as powerful as they are in the legacy, but they are still more powerful than the skills of the same level.
Although the thing that surprised me the most was my class.
I thought another word would be added, or 'merchant' would turn into 'mogul' or something similar, but it turned into something completely different.
Shaper of Desire.
It has a connotation of dark classes, and my new skills, as well as the upgraded ones, possess some of the abilities associated with those classes.
I have always liked to be in control, but this advancement has given me the tools to achieve it even to the smallest level.
It scared me, but also made me excited as I realised the height I could take the Velvet Garden to with these skills.
Because this will truly help shape the desires of the people who enter my legacy, providing them with an experience they will never forget in their lives.
Though I have to be careful and keep the name of my class and some of these skills secret.
Especially my new skills.
I have levelled twice in my class, which will give me two attribute points. I wanted to use them immediately, but controlled myself.
I will do it later, but first, I will carefully assess my skills.
First is Might of Harmony, which advanced from Energizing Essence. It was a master skill that filled me with energy, helping me last longer.
Now, it will provide me with a comprehensive attribute increase, along with the unlimited energy, as long as I remain within the domain of legacy.
My charm, intelligence, strength, and vitality will be boosted with this skill. It's a significant increase, and the best part is that I can now use it outside of the domain.
Even in its weakened state outside the domain. It will provide me strength equal to Lion's Strength.
It will be greater than Lion's Strength, because Lion's Strength only increases the physical strength, while this one is comprehensive.
It is one of the most desired master skills, and its power is extensively documented.
The second skill is the opposite of that. It's exceedingly rare that I haven't even heard of the name, but there are similar skills; the knowledge of them is very guarded.
I only knew about it because of the reading I did in the Archmage Tower.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
They had given me access; they usually give to the Masters of Thrones.
I could guess a few things about Shapers' Instincts, which advanced from the Lords ' Instincts, but I have a feeling that this skill is a lot deeper.
The third is Telepathic Channel, which had advanced from Telepathic Call. With it, I could connect to a lot of people without any problem.
It's become a master skill. I would now be able to use it more effortlessly in the city.
The fourth is Eyes of Domain, advancing from Eyes of Master. I activated it for a few seconds, and what I saw made me excited.
I could now see and hear more clearly; I could now even breach through many restricted spaces. I will need to test it later to thoroughly understand its capabilities.
Fifth one is Infuse Essence, which advanced from Infuse Mist. It's the same, but now I could infuse the essence of legacy, not just the mist.
That will be helpful in some essential things.
The sixth skill is Skin of Velvet, advanced from Silken Glow. It's a bathhouse skill, but a lot more potent than before. Maeve will love it.
The seventh of Crowd Flow Harmony, advanced from Crowd Flow Control, which is another skill I had gotten from Tranquill Bathhouse.
It's the skill that makes me very happy.
This skill has helped me tremendously since I got it, and now it has become even more powerful. It's a well-documented skill, so I'm familiar with everything it does.
Now, not only will it manage the crowd as before, but it will also stealthily guide people toward their destination quickly and leave the Legacy, especially when there are too many people.
I could control the skills and its parameters, which is what makes it so amazing.
The eighth skill is Restoration Bath, advancing from Recharging Bath.
I had read about this one also and knew that now the skill has grown from only being useful to mages in recovering from mana drain and mana burn, but equally valuable for Warriors and other classes in recovering from their fatigue.
These eight are just the upgraded skills. I had also gotten two new ones and they are amazing.
First is Velvet Invitation.
It's an invitation skill. I will be able to send an invitation; it won't be direct like a message spell, but like a physical letter. That is the only uninteresting thing about it.
In it, I could forge the letter in any way, shape, or size as I wanted. Embed things and even make letters so that only the person I wanted to could read them.
Just thinking about what I could do with this makes me excited.
It took me a while to calm down, and I turned to the last skill—the most dangerous one.
Mirror of True Want.
It's the skill that will give me a glimpse of true wants within people's hearts. Once I know it, I will be able to use it the way I want, shape it the way I want.
Once more, it made me shudder and excited. These two skills are really something.
The last thing is attribute points; there are two of them. I had added one in strength and the other in charm.
Taking the charm to twenty-two and strength to twenty-one.
I could have added one vitality, but decided on charm.
I felt the effect, and it was greater than I had thought. It's due to the class. Shaper of Desire is a powerful class, and it significantly increases the weight of the attributes.
Indirectly, it had also enhanced the skills of the other two classes.
I summoned the interface to get a clear look.

The skills that didn't advance had undergone changes. Take Copy Skill; it now has two in brackets.
I could now copy two skills. It made me smile.
I looked at all of it for a minute before closing it and getting out of my bed. My body ached as I did.
Powerful healing potions, spells, artifacts, and witchcraft had activated on me. It had healed nearly all my injuries, but the aches remained.
It is discouraged to heal like this, and I usually don't, but the undead are coming in two days.
I need to be prepared for them, get used to the new strength and the skills that this advancement has given me.
I slowly walked around my room, getting accustomed to the new power, before walking to the bathroom to freshen up and take a shower.
Usually I shower after the training, but I will be training later in the day.
I want to let my body heal fully, and also because I have many things to do.
I changed into the suit and walked out. I didn't walk toward my office, but to the kitchen. When I arrived, I saw that the breakfast table had been set, and they were already there.
"Good morning," I greeted my siblings and Carla. "Good morning," they replied.
Usually, I didn't bring them to the legacy, but Carla wore me down. I had now removed nearly all age restrictions on entry to the park and legacy.
I set those restrictions nearly because I am not going to let some fresh-faced teenager enter the Velvet Red.
The age is still eighteen, but Carla and others are asking me to reduce it to at least sixteen. They wanted it fifteen, but I was too resistant to that.
Sixteen, I think, I can accept that. I am nearly there in agreeing to it.
I wanted to inform them about the advancement yesterday, but both of them were sleeping.
"Congratulations, brother," congratulated Heron and Josie. "Thank you, both of you," I replied with a smile.
"Mom also asked me to congratulate you," he added a moment later. "I will thank her in my letter," I replied, and I could see disappointment clouding his face.
I am not talking to my mother.
There are several reasons for this, with two being the most significant. First is the anger of old Remus, which I am still feeling since his soul has merged with mine, and also because I am not Remus.
"What skills did you get, brother?" asked Josie.
"Josie, you shouldn't ask others about their skills. It's rude," admonished Carla, but the young girl kept looking at me cutely.
"A lot of skills. Including this," I replied with a smile. A moment later, the mist gathered around me, forming a tiny colourful feline of mist that leaped in the air before stopping in front of her.
Josie squealed in joy and tried to catch it, but it gracefully leaped away. It's not a skill, but control over the legacy, that improved tremendously with the advancement.
I can do many more things now that legacy has advanced to Grade IV than I could when it was in Grade III.
