The sudden notification from the system startled Lucas.
" Is 100 points alot or not"He wondered and with a thought he opened his status interface.The interface appeared again. The stats and skills was still the same exept that there are now a 100 after the SP and there are now a '+' sign on the end part of each stat and skill." This must be the adding function of the SP"He then curiously touch the plus sign on the str stat.""1 point added to str, 10 SP deducted""A notification to then sounded.A strange sense of power flowed in Lucas muscles ,like he can now lift twice his body weight but he know that it just a felling and he cannot know the true extent of the increase without trying it out.He looked around him to look for something to try his strength at. He then saw a fallen log close to him. Lucas walked to it.The log is almost a feet in diameter and are about 6 feet long." Its a dried wood , about a 100 kg , it's about right to try my streght!"Lucas bend down and hold the log with both hands. With a 'hmp' he lift the log off the ground with slight hardship.After a few second he drop the log down and take a few deep breaths." Nice ! Im sure I can't lift that log with my previous strength!"This made Lucas excited and a beam of smile form on his face.He then look at his status interface again." How about the skills?"He the touch the plus sign on the investigation skill."" Skill investigation(intermediate)was upgraded to investigation (advance), 50 SP deducted""Lucas tried to fell the change but he seem to be unable to find anything different." Oh! Its a skill!"With that thought he then pulled out a few beeries from his pants, it still the red and the yellow berry. He then used his investigation on the berries.( Red berry , edible)( Yellow berry , not edible ,poison (low))There are now more information on the interface. This made Lucas more estatic for now he can distinguish what to eat what to not.With his test done Lucas now think back the amount of SP he used. There are now only 40 SP left on his interface." Hmm , system is the SP use always the same value?""" Stats uprage deduct 10 SP points until it reach the threshold of the lvl 10, after the thresh hold the points deducted will be increased.Skill upgrade deduct 50 points until the threshhold of skill evolution, the points deducted increase after the skill evolution"Hearing this Lucas was enlightened." I can still upgrade my stats but I will not be able to upgrade my skills untill I gathered more points."With that thought Lucas added 20 point to his agility making it reach ten points. He then added the remaining points on his strength.He with the increase in agility he can now move more comfortable and quick. The increased gave Lucas a sense of speed ,that now he can run far more faster than before.He then tried out his strenght on the log and with the added points , he was able to lift the log with ease.Lucas then continued on his journey of looking for a water source,he munch onto the red berries as he walk forward . The berries have a slight citrus taste and was really refreshing.On his way ,Lucas tried to look for more animals to help to increased his SP. He help a butterfly that was stuck on a spider web in which he given 10 points, he help a baby bird that have fell its nest ,and was given another 100 points.The difference in points made Lucas wonder what is the condition for the calculation of SP. He decide not to add points untill he find a water source thinking that he may need an emergency increase in stats.Knowing that this is a magic world, and a leveling world at that, he knows that there should be monsters around. He was not been able to see any monster yet but be didn't let his vigilance down.The sun is now high in the sky raising the temperature inside the forest and making Lucas sweat.After walking for sometime Lucas heard a sound of flowing water. With a beaming smile he run forward, he then pass a few bushes. A small river then came to his line of sight.He walk forward and scoop a little bit of water. The water is clear and he cannot see anything in it, more it was a flowing water.Lucas drink a mouthful and then wash hi face with a few splash. A refreshing feelling made Lucas *sigh* . A sense of tranquility covered him , with the silence he was able to think more clearly." I don't know if I will be able go back, but this is my life now and I should make the best of it"With that acceptance his heart became a pound lighter.*Splash*A sound of splashing woke him up from his daze. He then saw a few salmon like fish was jumping out the water. The fishes are big and this made Lucas crave for it.He think of how he will catch those fishes. He gathered a few sticks that lie around the tress, he then choose one of the stick that he can use as a spear to catch the fishes.He then tried to make it pointy using some rocks around the river side. With his strength he was able to make it somewhat pointy.He walk in shallow part of the river and wait for the fish to swim close to him.The water was clear and he can see the fishes swimming around it. Some fishes swam closed him . He then use his spear at the fishes but they dodge his attacks quickly, he tried to attack more times but the fishes still dodge before his spear even reach the water.Lucas look at the fishes that swam round him like they were mocking him. With a fit of anger Lucas opened his status interface and add points to his agility until it was 15. His limbs now move more faster and more coordinated." Hehe, take this you fishes !"He then spear down a fish with his quick limbs and was able to pierce it." Ha ! Caught one!""" Unsaving a life , 10 points deducted!""Lucas was startled by the sudden deduction of his points, he was about to compain about it when- ""Killed salmon(lvl2) gained 20xp"" "" Save a life , 50 point added"" ""Save a life ,50 points added"" He was shock stunned by the serries of notifications but he shake his daze of and asked the system- "System , what's that deductions for?" "" Host has taken a life ,preventing it from being save anymore, the system will deduct SP points from unsaving a life . Strive to reach the peak of saving Hero!"" The system anwered which made Lucas think for a moment. " Ok ,but why did I have earned points afterward ,where did that came from?" "" By killing the salmon(lvl2) , the Hero was able to save two salmon(lv1) fingerlings that it was about to eat"" " Oh" Thinking for a while , Lucas was impress by the good prospect of hunting the fish. With a thought he opened his status Lucas Greves: ( Human Male , 25 years old) Lvl:1( 20/100) Str-12 Agi-15 Int-13 Dex-10 End-11 Skills: (
Lucas deliberate on what he should choose. " Ignite is the least expensive of all and it should be able to cater my need but-" "" Basic Fireball created 300 SP deducted!"" He choose the fireball skill thinking that he need not just a fire starter but also a means to fight monsters and fireball seems to have the best offensive qualifications based on it name and it's price. He was about to try the skill out when- "" It appears that the Hero have not undegone a Magic Awakening yet , use 100 SP to proceed to awaken?"" Lucas was baffled by the notification, " So magic still need to be awaken!" He press yes reducing his remaining points to zero. "" Undergoing Awakening"" The notification sounded and then lucas fell to the ground. "Arrgggghh" A sharp pain flowed into Lucas body like a prick of thousand needles. Lucas didn't know that awakening will be so paifull an she was hit unprepared but he was not able to complain at the moment and was only be able to roll in the ground in p
After eating until he was full ,Lucas was have two left over fish. One being the biggest fish. Lucas found some leaves to cover his food so that he can eat it while he walk, he found a fan like leaves and was about to take it when an idea came to his mind. " I should be using investigation more frequent. It doesn't need mana and maybe i can increased it's so called proficiency as I used it" He then cast investigation with his mind and a prompt appeared ( Big leaves , inedible , toxic(low)) Lucas was shock to see the description of the leaves, he was thankful that he decided to check it first. With that, Lucas continued to use investigation on the other leaves around. It all show a prompt of leaves, while a couple of pants was poisonous,most are just a bunch of normal leaves. Lucas gathered a bunch of palm size leaves with normal prompt and took it back. He then cover it around the fish and with some sticks he made it into a some kind of huge pack leaves. He carried it and pick
Lucas have now walk a couple of hours and have already travel quite a distance from his initial position. Even with his endurance,he was now felling a hint of tiredness on his body. The sun is hot above which made him sweaty, draining his endurance ever faster but Lucas still continued to walk forward. " Just how long is this river !?" Lucas still used hi investigation on all things around him ,and stop when he he felt a slight headache. The headaches disappear after sometime ,in which allow Lucas to use investigation again. He have found a lot of things on his path but he choose to only take the berries that he found on the bushes, like the black berries that he found out as edible and have a close taste to a bubblegum. He also found a bunch of red berries and some yellow berries too. Lucas have not met anymore beast ,even after he walk for that long. Lucas doesn't believe that that wolf is the only demonic beast on this vast forest, that's why Lucas never let his vigilance dow
Dust and sand was scattered around extinguish the fire the was lit by the fireball. But the suden ignition of the wood and leaves almost gave Lucas a heart attack. " I almost burn down the forest! I should be careful next I cast fireballs" Says he as he step down cinders to extinguish them. "" Unsaved a life , 1 SP deducted"" "" Unsaved a life , 1 SP deducted"" "" Killed a dire wolf (lvl 8,), 80 exp earned!" "" Killed a dire wolf (lvl 7), 70 exp earned!" "" Congratulations Hero for reaching lvl 3, All stats +1 Mana + 10 The serries of notification sounded which made Lucas delighted. But his expression immediately turn serious. He raise his weapon and look around him in vigilance. "Where's the other one!?" *Growl!" A shadow sudenly appeared on his left, Lucas jump back in reflex as he saw the sharp claw of the third wolf almost grazed his neck. The wolf fell and roll. It have a bleeding wound on it's side and part of its face are scorch,but it almost palpable killing int
Under the small cliff are a pack of wolves , numbering in 50s, all of them have then see gray prickly fur of the direwolves he have faced before except for one which have a mix of black an whitebl fur. The black and white wolf is also the biggest of the pack which is double the size of the normal wolves, alsmost reaching the size of a car. It clear that it was the alpha. But that is not the focus of Lucas sight. Five people where on the human made path while being surrounded by the wolves. Three of the people have swords and buckler shields ands they were swinging their sword at the wolves in a purpose of pushing them back , while the other two were a elder man in a coat and lady wearing a frock were behind them. " Merchants? Or nobles?" Lucas contemplate as he observe what happening. With a thought he then use his new skill at the alpha wolf. A prompt suddenly appear in front of him ( Alpha dire wolf (lvl14), can use magic , dangerous) The changes on the skill was evident as n
Lucas was now in precarious situation. He now have loss his weapon and even though he can still use his fireball he feared that the alpha will just throw another of it kin or just block it with it's wind shield, that will only be a waste of mana. Lucas the turn his gazed at the people on the side hudling around the well dress people. An idea was then came to Lucas . * Howl* The alpha howled which made the remaining direwolf to converge in it from and then simultaneously run towards Lucas. The situation was ready dangerous for Lucas . " Hey!! Throw me your weapon!" Lucas was then left with choice but to borrow weapons from them. Javes was stunned for a split second as the stranger shout incomprehensible words on him. But his instinct told him what the stranger need . He the raised his weapon and then throw it at Lucas . He did it not knowing what Lucas was saying but he saw that Lucas have loss his weapon on his first clash with the alpha which made Javes know that was what th
Javes and his companions was still stunned by what they witness. A sigle guy not even older than 20 was able to fight a pack of direwolves killing almost half of it and felling the alpha that have attained awakening!The guy was able to do magic which means that he have undegone a Magic Awakening already , but that add more to their shock , he was to young! They were also shock by the man's magic as it was able to make a direwolf, which are classified as a E+ rank monster, to a mush of flesh and blood! They never heard of any magician that young that can do magic that seem like a tier three magic on their Brig's domain! But Javes was most shock was the man' s combat sense. He saw him fight and as a knight that have trained himself to the art of swordplay since he was a child he knows that the man swordsmanship was sloppy and crude, but the way he utilized his body to land those fatal attack was shocking to Javes. Javes then harden his conviction and then walk up to the man that wa
