Raising funds for the skill books needs huge money. And so, Arthas scoured the forest for herb gathering. The place was humid and was at the right temperature to grow herbs. The place was a natural habitat of such plants.
He scanned the surroundings and went to find clues for such plants. After several minutes, Artaz then found Blood herbs on a rotting tree and then observed. It glowed in pulsating red as he watched it. He immediately plucked it carefully and put it inside his backpack. It was a couple of herbs that were harvested. It will be enough to have 3 potions with what he has.He immediately went to find more herbs to be brewed. Luckily, he found magic herbs in a damp place in the forest. Having plucked several of them, it glowed in bluish radiance. He put it inside his bag and then went on with his hunt for herbs.After scouring the forest, he went on towards the riverside. Then, after several minutes, he saw several Energy herbs that glowed in a greenish hue; waiting to be harvested.He plucked them and then put them inside his bag then went on. After having harvested the herbs, he pulled the strap of his backpack and went to find the next herbs on the list.He then went to find Cultivation herbs inside the forest. After minutes of scouring, he found several of them on the side of the brook. Arthas was surprised after seeing one. He thought that he would find it harder this time around. He went forth and bent his knees then carefully plucked the herbs. With it put inside his backpack, he was deeply happy with his reaping.As he started to walk away, he saw a plant that he deeply knew of. It was just on the side of the tree. He saw its trunk was something like a humanoid creature with its leaves on its hands."Venerable ginseng herb!"He immediately plucked it carefully and put it inside his bag. One ginseng will give you a great boost on your physique stats cultivation and helps breakthrough. With it, he will have a greater chance of getting more stats than before.He went home in the afternoon and then brewed the herbs on his alchemy table. With the use of mortar and pestle, he grounded the contents and mixed them with the energized water.He created 3 health potions, 2 mana potions, and 3 stamina potions. He also made 20 cultivation pills and the ginseng was grounded and mixed with energized water. It was then heated on the vial and let the water evaporate. Making it sticky until cooled down.He made it into small balls and then they became pills. He made 3 pills out of it and then put it aside. He rested a bit then went to the market to sell it.3 health potion was 15 gold coins. 2 mana potion was 14 gold coins then 3 stamina potion was 9 gold coins. With a total of 38 gold coins and with 30 gold coins on hand, it became a total of 68 gold coins.He then went home and started his cultivation. He ate a cultivation pill and also a venerable ginseng pill then went to a lotus position. He then felt like his cultivation became more rapid. He was at the bottleneck of the first stage and so he focused on his breakthrough.While cultivating, he observed that his earth realm was nourished and also, his physique stats using the Versatile all-rounder cultivation technique.That cultivation method was discovered in the tombs of deceased Guardian that he looted in his past life. It was also a cultivation method that was hidden in the passing of time.It was slow but with the help of the Venerable ginseng pills that he took, he was steadily gaining random stats.With him focusing, he made a breakthrough in his cultivation potential. Making it to the Earth realm-second stage.Also, he will gain a random stat until the pill expires. One stat will be given for each breakthrough on each pill. He took 3 of them into his mouth and then cultivated his physique.+1 Strength+1 Strength+1 DexterityIt was then, that the pills expired. He got 3 stats from 3 pills in total. One ginseng plant gives 3 pills which give stats. It was a good reap in total.With it, his stats changed.....[Character sheet]Name: Arthas Bloodsworn[Main Stats]Strength: 3Dexterity: 12Endurance: 1Focus: 1[Vital Stats]Health points: 110Mana points: 100Stamina points: 100[Regeneration Stats]Health regeneration: +0 per secondMana Regeneration: +0 per secondStamina Regeneration: +0 per second....It was then, that he took another pill for cultivation and cultivated again for the night. He was steadily cultivating for several hours and he reached the bottleneck of his second stage. It was then he heard the crows of the roosters and was alarmed."It was morning already?" he asked himself.He then hastily washed in his bathroom and dressed in his uniform. He then went towards the school nearby.He went to school and took breakfast in the canteen. It was then, that he saw the elites gathering beside him at the same table."I am so sorry for our troubles. We only want to maintain the respect of the other students. You are beaten instead," said Roan while bowing."Nah, it's fine. I still need to beat you all with my job class yes? No need to be too friendly," Artaz chuckled at them."Ah I see, so how did you acquire this bloodlust aura?" Merlin was curious, to the point of asking himself.It was at that moment, Arthas was taken aback. An excuse would do fine in his thoughts."By my master I guess,""Oh I want to meet your master," Roan smiled."Nah, he died. Passing his teachings on to me. It was a good thing to be his student I must say,""Oh, care to teach us next time?" Earl asked in hopes of learning it too."Maybe next time, we will have time," Thurin said."We should make a schedule. How about the weekends?" asked Axel, the Dragon knight elite."Yeah, it is fine by me," said Fang, the Lycanthrope elite."Let us all train to be the best," said Neon, the Holy Knight Priest elite."We are the best in terms of our peers but we still lacked greatly compared to the guardians," said Druin, the Druid shaman elite."Don't compare yourself to Guardians. They have the age and experience advantage. compared to us who are still twerps when they became guardians," Merlin said, the Versatile Mage elite."Being strong is not always the answer. We have to be cunning too," said Marvin, the Rogue assassin elite."Haha, there are no tactics when they collide against absolute power!" Joan said, the Forest Ranger elite."I must say, we will become strong soon. There is a premonition of mine that the peace will end and demons will attack again. So I needed all of you to train for that. The second great calamity will come and we have to be prepared," Arthas said to them."Where did you learn this?" asked Merlin."From my master," Arthas said in a serious tone."Oh, your master. Makes sense," Merlin replied then scratched his chin.He kept them company while waiting for the bell. It was then they talked a bit until the time for the first subject arrived."I must go," Arthas then stood up."Bye," they chorused.In the morning, he studied in school and when the night came, he was a blacksmith and an enchanter.He reaped 8 gold coins for helping the blacksmith and 20 gold coins for enchanting. With a total of 96 gold coins on his current money.He was then ready for purchasing the skill books needed for all his job classes. Though it was not enough for all of it as the skill books were tantamount in numbers. Only a few were purchasable with just his money. And so he went ready to go to the Job Class Halls to purchase the job class skill books.Arthas watched the mirror and washed his face. It was morning and he has to go to school. With it, he dressed and packed his bag.As he went to the school gate, he saw the bullies waiting for him. Arthas was taken aback, they seemed aggressive in their bullying these days. "Hey, look at who's here. Is this the trash that we all kicked?" Drake grinned and then snapped his fingers.They clenched their fist and landed a blow on his face. Arthas tried to evade but his physique stats on Dexterity lacked. Although he has ample numbers in it, they were faster than his eyes can see. His reaction speed lacked and so, he received the blow. He was then down, lying on the ground then tried to stand up, they then kicked him on the chest and stomach. Making him suck air and then held his breath due to the pain.They continued doing so until one girl arrived. "Hey! Stop doing that or I will report you all!" said the girl with black ponytail hair. "And what if we refuse?" Drake said then they ch
With the vast number of job classes, Arthas chose to learn his past job class first. With the knowledge of that Job class, he will learn it faster. As his mastery of that class was at its peak. The Conjurer has 4 skill types. It was the Conjure weapons, Weapon mastery, Conjure illusion, and, Conjure sentient weapons. With it, he went to the Conjurer Halls. Having the flag of the Conjurers with its seal in it. He entered and saw the potential students of the said class. Many were already training on the training grounds and he saw the teachers teach the new students. He went to the desk and saw a robed man. He has the ambiance of a strong person, a master in his rank. "Hello sir, I would like to register as a Conjurer," Arthas was excited to be assessed. It was then, he was given a crystal ball. His face was seen reflecting on it."Touch the ball and we will know if you are a Conjurer," he said in a lifeless tone.Arthas then touched the ball and it glowed."Congrats, you are ind
Alas, Arthas made it to novice rank. By him winning the test, he has proven that he was worthy of the rewards. "Your reward was given and there will be skill pages available for purchase. You can get them at the front desk. As for me, I will recuperate before another test starts," the examiner then left to rest and drank a health potion.Arthas then went to the counter and the receptionist greeted him."Hello sir, congrats on reaching novice rank. There will be available skill pages to purchase! I will fetch them for you," the girl then went to fetch him the skill pages."Please do," Arthas replied.He then saw the skill pages on a box that was carried by her. Putting the box on the desk with a thud. The skill pages were Skill: Javelin throw, Skill: Dagger burst, Skill: Afterimage illusion, Skill: Double time, and, Skill: Phantom.The inscription then was seen on the paper as Arthas read it. .......Skill name: Javelin throwDescription: Throw conjured javelins to the enemies.Eff
Arthas was thinking about what job class he will train in first. As such, he thought that it would be good to learn the Lycanthrope firsthand.They were the tribe that wields the beast's will and can shapeshift like the Druids. He thought that it will be a good start to have such a job class first. In the past, he chose the Conjurer weapon master. But now, he has all of them. There was still time and so he needed to learn everything he can. He was thinking about whether he will choose the Druid shaman or the Lycanthrope but he choose the Lycanthrope job class first. He would take his time and get strong as soon as possible.He traveled to the Lycanthrope Halls and saw the majestic face of a wolf on the flag. A seal of the wolf was hung on the fluttering flags on top of the building. He saw that the building was well-designed with tribal signs and has an aura of Lycanthropes. A tribal design was what orchestrated the building.He soon entered and then saw many persons with furry pel
There were 3 tests per rank up and it will be a lot harder than before. With increasing difficulty with every test. Arthas can't go home yet as he wanted to take the tests and rank up to adept. He wanted to be adept before going home."I would like to take the 3 tests, sir," Arthas said to the instructor. "You will? Well, you can!" he said then readied himself."Okay, the first test will be handled immediately," he said.The first test and Arthas were slightly wasted. His stamina was slightly depleted from his past duel. He immediately rested on the bench inside and waited for the instructor's signal. He drank water in their cafeteria and then rested a bit. His stamina soon was replenished. "Arthas, get ready as your ascension test will be upcoming," "Aye!"He went outside again and then saw the number of students who failed. With grim expressions on their faces and disappointed looks. The training field then was prepared for the duel. As for the instructor who will assess him. H
His past battle made him realize one thing, and that was to get stronger. He lacked the fundamental physique stats needed for passing the exam. And also, he needed more training. His skills were decent but not strong enough to face the next test. He would have to be stronger and more cunning in battle. Especially when using skills. The instructor was stronger indeed but it was a feat to defeat a veteran like that. It would normally not be easy to defeat him as they have standards. His Dexterity still lacked and even though it was by far the greatest in numbers, it still failed to be compared to the instructor. He would need also his strength to be higher or greater.His endurance was only 1 and so he will have to also increase it too. By killing gargoyles that were giving +1 Endurance and +10 Health points. Or a Demon bear that gives +3 Strength and +3 Endurance. It also gives +10 health points as a bonus. The perfect monster to kill with his shortage of physique stats. Also, he w
Arthas was contemplating what skill pages he will buy. As of now, he only has 6 skills and his savings will have to be used for buying skill pages.And he only has an ample amount of gold coins to buy 5 of them. With just that, he will have to earn more. He only has a few skills available for purchase as he became a novice rank. They were still weak skills but all will change when he arrives at adept rank.There will be more damage types of active skills in the future as he ascends his rank. As for now, he has support skills or conventional skills. Still, they were important foundations for your rank. As for his current skills, they laid a good foundation for his prowess.The six skills were important for his growth. As such, he has to make them grow and make them stronger skills. As for its speed of growth, it was minimal. He has the Earth realm in his cultivation potential; the realm of trash.He went up early and exercised in the morning. The morning breeze was chilly and he could
It was weekdays once again and the classes started. He went to the Lycanthrope halls and trained once again. Doing his practice before the exam was important. And so he did practice with his weapon for the test. He was early and so the training ground was still desolate and empty. He smashed the target dummy with his weapon and he did some attacks that were fast and packed with several kilograms of weight. He made rotating maneuvers that were difficult even for veteran combatants to do and he did it with just small numbers of physique stats. He was sweaty after a few minutes of practicing and then stopped to rest when more examinees arrived. He will take the test again but this time, he will be stronger and faster. It was foolish of him to take it without the skills needed for the task. And so, with greater prowess, he tried once again. Entering the halls, he went to the desk and asked for a second chance of taking the exam."Hello sir, I will take the exam once again sir!" Arth
