While being cautious, he stared in the direction of the rustling, when suddenly, a human head popped out of the bushes. It was a girl, probably around 17 years of age, and a bright expression. She hopped out of the bushes and looked left to right, clutching her small metal wand. On her head was a mage's hat and her body was adorned with a white mage robe with a pink outline. After making sure the coast was clear, she nodded at the bushes as multiple other people suddenly hopped out themselves. One…-

He was expecting around 5 points into each stat at the very maximum, since gaining that much would easily take him another 2 or 3 years at his current rate of progression, but 10 wasn't even on his mind! Happy with these results, Lyrian went outside of the cavern to try out magic for the first time. Now, he knew that one needed to use spells to perform magic from the books he read, as spells were the translation devices that mana used to become objective magic in the real world, but right now, spells…

stat for creatures upon using Scan has been removed. - "Your name will be," Lyrian said as he neared his hand to the wolf to pet it. "Garmr," Lyrian stated, using the names Garm and Arr as references. He wasn't exactly the best when it came to naming yet. *Ding* As soon as his hand reached the wolf's belly, it quickly opened its eyes before jumping up and biting into the side of Lyrians face. Lyrian blinked a few times in shock… before jumping up himself and yelling in pain. After removing…

Lyrian's eyes widened as he gazed at the brightly-lit alcove. What he saw left him in shock - a writhing mass of slithering snakes entangled in a grotesque tangle covered the entire expanse. The putrid stench of their musky odor filled the air, and he felt like he had stumbled into a nightmare. Despite the overwhelming sight before him, Lyrian continued to survey the room. It was then that he noticed something unusual - the lake was glowing less brightly than usual. He took slow, cautious steps…

Right at that moment, time froze for Lyrian. He was…. going to die? Here? Like this? No, there was no way. That couldn't be true. He did so much to get here. The promises he made to himself to get stronger and the years that he spent training would all be in vain if he were to perish here. With a surge of ruthless conviction filling his bones, Lyrian grabbed both sides of the wolf's jaw just before it was able to bite down and crush his face. Its sharp teeth dug into the skin of his palms, but he…

'Huh? That's an interesting name. I wonder what it does?' Lyrian thought to himself, noticing the name of the ability for a brief moment before continuing to rest. The hidden reward was also a mystery. 'I guess I'll just have to find out what it is once I've completed the quest...' After a few minutes, he jogged back down the mountain and ate a hearty meal full of meat, fruits, and wild vegetables. He wasn't some 5-star chef, but his food always tasted amazing due to the hard work he put in…

After cultivating Gale throughout the night, Lyrian entered the forest once again at the dawn of the following day. Without wasting any time he began making his training supplies from dawn to dusk. Cutting vines and weaving them into durable ropes, cutting trees, and foraging rocks. Just like that, days began to pass, which soon turned into weeks. After a month's hard work, Lyrian finally finished making all the things he needed for his training. During the weeks he created a makeshift ax to help…

Lyrian wanted to sit down and use Gale right then and there to test out the speed of mana gain for himself, but his grumbling stomach reminded him that he needed to hunt and eat first. After fully surveying the large cavern, which was probably somewhere around 100-100 meters in length and height, he made his way back up to the surface and immediately began his hunt. He had seen hundreds of wild squirrels, rabbits, and other small creatures scurrying around as he made his way to the cave, so he decided…

The next day Lyrian spent totally in bed. He was far too tired to do any physical activity, but he could still talk, allowing him to make the excuse to his parents that he was "sleepy" that day in order to avoid any doctor visits. He wanted to start his new training plan with no delays. The next day finally arrived when Lyrian felt anew once again. After not using his brain or body at all, he was even a bit more bright than the days prior, having time to think about his training plan in the…

As the boys moved closer to him, Lyrian felt a surge of fear and adrenaline. He knew he had to act fast if he wanted to get out of this with only a few scratches. In a quick motion, he swung his fist and managed to land a solid punch on the fat boy's jaw, sending him crashing to the ground, unconscious. For a moment, Lyrian felt a glimmer of hope, but it was quickly extinguished as Cedric delivered a crushing blow to his temple, sending him tumbling to the ground in a daze. Immediately, horrific…
