I think you're a natural for that. XD *sees the fic and shudders at how good it is*

So here's another <<Skill>> probably to be added in the new Argo's Compiled Skill Manual.

Spoiler for One-Handed Dagger:

『One-Handed Dagger』
«Weapon Skills»
[Thrust] Forward Thrust
[Slash / Pierce] Side Dash
[Thrust / Slash] Back Slash
[Slash / Pierce] Back Stab
[Blunt / Slash] Quarter Twirl
[Blunt / Pierce] Axe Down splitter
«Passive Skills»

Paralysis Tip
DoT Tip
«Description»
This skill involves equipping a short dagger, suited for battling close quarters and delivering an accurate thrust, to either the neck or a similarly weak spot. Daggers cannot be used for «Parrying». (Even light «Rapiers» can be used for it, but on a limited level.) By using skills related to it, you can level up this skill by around 1 to 5 points randomly over 6 hits battling NPCs whose level has a discrepancy of no lower than 20 levels. This enables the skill to be leveled up quite quickly. Plus, «Weapon Skill Distribution» allows some «Thrust» skills to be used on other one-handed weapons, even on «One-Handed Sword». However, most Beta Players preferred using their 1 «Skill Slot» on «skills» like «Hiding» or «Pursuing». Many PKers, however, use this because of its adept ability to «attach a status-affecting tip». However, there is an unusual absence of «Non System Assist Bonus». When unequipped, its Skill Points decreases by 1 every 6 gameplay hours.
«Post requisites»
Knife Throwing (Must have Item Throwing; at 300 Skill Points)
Dual Knives (Must have 900 Skill Points; Difference between STR and AGI is 30 or more.)
One-Handed Spear (Must have 200 Skill Points; Must have One-Handed Sword.)
Two-Handed Staff (Must have 100 Skill Points)
Sprint (Run with a «Dagger» or with no Weapons; At 10 Skill Points.)
«Notes»
PKers tend to go this route because of their innate ability to apply status-affecting tips in it. There are, however, people in specialized guilds who tend to master this skill, for support. However, it does not affect bosses, so they're often not part of the «Clearing Teams».

"I had to drink a status-negating potion before I went to see the «Laughing Coffin»."
- «Kirito»
(Response: It IS common tactic to drink status-negating potions before encountering such «PK Guilds» whose mastery of dagger and its related tree skills.)
"…It's kinda bad that, because bosses are immune to status effects, those who mastered this skill are being frowned upon. But it did save my life once."
- «Klein»
(Response: «Dagger Users» are, in fact, common in «Grinding Teams».)
"The biggest disadvantage of «Dagger Users», I think, is it requires you to be in close-combat."
- «Cradil»
"I saw someone performing a «Quarter Twirl» on a pretty powerful mob (It was quite a sight). I'm more surprised though that it doesn't make you really dizzy!"
- a player on the «34th floor»
(Response: Considering «Quarter Twirl» is one powerful weapon skill that both acts as a defense and offense for physical attacks, it isn't half-bad. It's like asking a ballet dancer how she can spin without getting dizzy.)
