‘Wait, what is happening?’ Adam panicked, feeling his power draining at an alarming rate.Finally, it stopped after several seconds. Still, Adam felt if he cast this spell about another four times, he would pass out.- Host’s Spirit is too low to handle the spellSurprisingly, the system answered him. ‘But it said spirit requirement is F+,’- Minimum requirement to cast the spell one time‘Damn’ he cursed silently. However, before he gets into the problem, he felt the strange feeling of burning from the braceletThe next moment, a wailing sound erupted within the bracelet and a cloud of thick black smoke rose, turning into a blurry humanoid figure. It made everyone lose their breath. It was the bloodcurdling feeling of cold and darkness brought by the wailing figure.Adam heard it talking, but he couldn’t make out any words. And after a few seconds, golden light covered the black figure, bursting it into flame only to leave nothing behind.Adam took a deep breath and tried to stabili
Adam looked at the armoury in a daze. He couldn’t believe this place belonged to a village. Even though Westwood village was big, it was still a village. However, here, the number of weapons kept was enough to arm a small army.He saw different bows, swords, war clubs, spears, and many other weapons were stacked on wooden racks. Although they were not neatly arranged, he could tell they were well maintained. Joran guided him here in choosing a weapon.“Master Adam, this is our armoury,” there was a hint of pride in Joran’s voice. “Although this is not good as the North War Town Armory, you will not find a better one even in West Coast city, unless it is her Majesties’ stash,”Adam felt like this man was talking about the Armory in a fashion that he was promoting his daughter to a matching suiter.He carefully looked at the weapons, and one thing he noted was that they look extremely heavy. ‘Yes, these men in the village may use them,’ he thought, remembering the sturdy build of these
- Detecting the host has activated the blood bonding ritual. The host is advised not to stop unless the host wishes to not use the Shadow Blade anymore.‘Shit,’ Adam gritted his teeth and let the blade absorb his blood. Joran and Bob both looked at the weird man and dagger that absorbed blood. They saw the pattern in the handle grow clearer, and the blade emitting a red glow. The process lasted for a few minutes. However, for Adam, it just started.- Shadow Blade has accepted the blood of the awakened wolf- Host is too weak to wield the blade of a master Assassin- Forceful integration of Light Dagger Art (Basic) activated- Basic requirement met (Strength - F+, Agility - F+)- Authentication successSudden pain hit him hard, so hard that he fell off the chair with the dagger in hand.“Master Adam,” Joran and Bob both got up from their seats. Few guards ran inside because of the high voice of Joran. Adam couldn’t open his mouth; he was sure if he did, he would be screaming. Gritting
Adam made his way back to the old Church; he needed to be ready to face whatever he would meet in the lost church of shadow. There was a Horned panther in the area as he knew, but Adam couldn’t forget Nina went toward the ruins too. Hopefully, whatever related to the curse would not be hiding in the ruins. After all, it once belonged to a true god.However, there was something that made Adam confused. Wolf God was a true God, and Adam could draw a small portion of his power to cast the purification spell. He felt how powerful a true god was. Therefore, how did a church of shadows, where Wolf God was the absolute authority, became a ruin?What happened that made a true god lose his footing in the Crimson Empire? And what was the connection between the Crimson Empire and the Wolf God? But all that could wait for now. Now was the time to be ready for the next mission.He only has two combat-related abilities, but even with both combined, he was no match for a horned panther. The only opti
Two wolves ran all morning through the forest before the Grey wolf king stopped for some water near a stream. Adam realised when he was in his wolf form, he had endless energy for running. Feeling all the muscles in his body working together to provide energy to slip through the forest was a great and relaxing experience for him. And It was a feeling he hadn’t experienced in a long time.However, even for once, he didn’t forget where he was running to and why. Adam didn’t know how long his guide would help him either. Still, for the time being, he enjoyed the feeling of freedom and happiness away from the prying eyes and questionable gazes that followed him in the West Coast city.After a bit of water and rest, Grey wolf king started running again. This time, it didn’t stop for any food. And Adam had nothing to complain about. He had his breakfast at the village and he drank a mouth full of water from the stream. As for the slight Hunger, he was feeling, well, that was nothing new to
‘How can this be?’ Adam felt more worried than ever.The fight showed that whatever fought with the Horned panther was alone. Whatever it was, it’s stronger than the horned panther. And most importantly, he did not know what came to the ruins to kill the horned panther.Adam fell into thought. ‘Now, I am here and my mission is complete, it’s better, I get out of here,’ although he wanted to study the Church, with unknown threats lurking around, it was better to run. He valued his life more. However, he realised luck was not that good against the devious system.- Secondary Mission – Find and enter the inner sanctum of the lost Church of Shadow- Mission objective – There was an inner sanctum in every Church of shadow. The host is advised to find it within three days.- Mission reward – General points and additional reward based on the performance- Mission failure – Reduction of one attribute by half‘But there is nothing valuable here,’ he highly doubted that people of the Westwood
- Authentication success (Upgrade)- Medicine and Herbs (Basic) -> Medicine and Herbs (intermediate)- Related attribute check – Spirit - initiating upgrade – Within body limit (Authentication success)- Spirit (D- -> D) - Spirit (D -> D+)‘Fuck,’ he clutched his head as the head-splitting pain hit him. The only thing he could do was to lean against the broken wall. Although Spirit upgrade gave him a massive mental capacity, it was still within D level. However, the amount of knowledge added to his brain was too much for him to handle.The dire wolf that was lying in the pool of blood looked weirdly at the unknown animal that was acting strangely. If she could, she would have already attacked it.Adam was absorbing too much information to pay attention to anything. He limped his weak body to the ground, using the wall as support.‘Hope it will not kill me after I heal it,’ Adam had his own wishful thought. Still, he was not taking this gamble for nothing. At his wolf form, he was th
Bit by bit, the medicinal paste took the form he was hoping for. And weirdly enough, Adam found himself so good at controlling the medicinal herbs to proper proportions and achieve his desired level of medicine. Initially, he found himself to be a bit rusty with only his dagger and rocks. However, over time, his actions became so natural, making it a very smooth process.After grinding the herb paste, he approached the mother wolf while ignoring the little one’s protest. However, this time, the mother dire wolf kept her silent. Maybe because she finally had some water given to her by Adam or she realised that there was no use in resisting against him.Before applying the medicine, Adam had to check the wounds and made sure there was no serious bone fracture underneath them.It was painful for the wolf, but he couldn’t give any sedative while the body was too weak. It may never wake up again after sleeping. Therefore, naturally, he had to ignore the painful whimper from the mother wolf
