Lucas was startled by the sudden deduction of his points, he was about to compain about it when-

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 statusLucas Greves:( Human Male , 25 years old)Lvl:1( 20/100)Str-12Agi-15Int-13Dex-10End-11Skills:(Passive)Sleep resistance (intermediate) able to resist sleep for sometime .

He then remember that he was able to get exp from killing the salmons. He made a confused face." System , does all gained exp by killing fish.?"He was baffled because if people was able to gain exp from killing food like fish , then his lvl might be even lower that of a kid."" No, people of Sandria can only gain exp point from killing demonic beast. The Life - saving system treat all life as the same which allow it to convert exp from all kind of lifeforms.""Hearing this Lucas was able to breathe free." That's handy!"But that information confirmed his idea that there are really monsters in this world.After a moment of contemplation,Lucas decide to continue to hunt for more fish. Not just beacuse he need the food but because he think that he need to raise his level as soon as possible just in case.The reduction of his point are irrelevant, beacuse killing the big fish will surely help the small fishes ,so he only aimed for the big ones. He threw his first catch ashore and continue to hunt.* Swop*Another fish was pierce.""Unsaving a life ,deducting 10 SP""" Killed a salmon (lvl 3) ,gained 30exp""""Save a life ,gained 50 SP""The notification stop showing that he gained 30 exp and 40 SP with a single fish.

He carried his fish and his stick spear back on the shore, he gather all his fish.He gutted and clean the fish with his bare hand, his strength made it a simple job ,although it made the fish appeared to be ravages.He then collect three big rock to use as a stove. He took the stick he gathered and started trying to make fire by rubbing the sticks together. Lucas thought that because of his elevated stats ,this job was just simplebut he was slap by the reality pretty hard.For half an hour, he was running the stick and able to make some spark and smoke but he was not been able to propagate the flames and was immediately instiguish by his wet hands.Lossing patience Lucas stop, he was getting annoyed but a sense of calm resetted his mood ." How will I make fire now ?"He thought hard and was able to think of some thing." System ,open skill creation interface"A blue interface with nothing in it but a single bar in the middle appeared. At first Lucas was baffled but then he was able to see that it has a resemblance to a search bar use it in a browser.He touch the bar and a qwerty keyboard appeared under it. He then typed ' skill for making fire ' on it and then press the enter button.A large list appeared shocking Lucas . The skills appear all having it unique name like 'Holyfire' or 'Abbysal flames' and some even have a long name containing atleast ten words. On it left show a set ls of number with atleast six zero after a certain number.The long list made Lucas head spin." Maybe the prompt was to vauge ,I should try a more specific search"He then delete the prompt and then type again' skill to create samall fire to use for cooking' and press enter.A lost appear again but this time it only contain three skills . One is a skill called ignite, the next was called fire shot , and the last was fireball all having a 'basic' ephitet on them.Seeing this Lucas smiled , he then look at it's price , the ignite skill worth 100 SP to create , fireshots worth 150 and lastly the fire ball was worth 300.Lucas frowned being unable to decide what to use his point at.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
The group then proceed to walk on the path while the knights pulled the carriage." Is the town far?"Asked Lucas as he have noticed that his shadow was noticeably longer than earlier indicating the time." No my Lord , we are already close to the city of Bridgestone when we were attacked by the direwolves, we will surely reach it before night fall."Hearing this Lucas was confused." If we are this closed to city and you being a noble lady , why are is it that no one came as to rescue you" Melissa was turned red and slowly answered" I- I was able to send a distress signal to the city and I'm sure that there are now people on their way to save us , but the pack of wolves attack as aggressively. If not for the lord they will surely be coming to recover corpses"Lucas frowned but did not asked any further. As a avid reader ,he know that sometimes there are conflict in a noble circle which he assume was what is happened, but it was not his business and decided to not think of it any fu
