U.L.S: Rise of HAKHAMANESH

The Third Option

A boy with black hair and a thin physique was holding a black sword that was too big for him but he still easily controlled it.

((I'm very hungry, if I don't find anything to eat, I think I will faint from starvation.))

The line between the black sword was bold orange, which meant it was very happy.

((I see that you are very pleased. But this time we have to go with a plan and a goal. My goal now is to find something to eat And then I have to start finding a way out of here.))

And with the sword, he searched around. But in this ruin that even the sun could not reach, he did not find anything.

The only light he could see around him was the faint blue light that radiated from the roots of the trees that had grown that far.

Fortunately, in his search, he did not find any traces of monsters.

((I see you terrified a lot of monsters, Dayan))

But the sword showed no reaction.

After a two-hour search, Arash found nothing to eat. So he decided to get away from the ruins, after walking on a twisting path for a while, he finally came across blue mushrooms.

((Oh, look, we finally got lucky.))

And he went to one of the mushrooms and touched it so that its status would appear in front of his eyes.

{Type: Mana mushrooms

Name: Mashpo

Description: mushrooms that grow in environments very rich in mana. Not every creature can feed on these mushrooms. Only those who have a close relationship with mana can use these mushrooms.}

((System, can I eat this mushroom?))

But no one answered.

((This system responds whenever it wants. Of course, I think because it is a system that monitors a public server, it is busy.))

((What should I do now, eat it or not?))

His sword began to tremble as if to say something to him.

((What? I don't understand. your Emotions are not recognizable.))

the sword did not stop its trembling but focused it in one direction.

Arash looked in the direction that the sword was pointing and saw the mushrooms.

((Ha? What do you want to do? I do not understand your goal. Do you want those mushrooms? Okay.))

And he smoothly plunged the big sword into one of the mushrooms.

After a while, waves of blue light appeared on the surface of the sword and went to Arash's hand and entered his body.

Several messages appeared in front of Arash in a row.

* MANA+1 *

* MANA+1 *

* MANA+1 *

* MANA+1 *

* MANA+1 *

* MANA+1 *

* MANA+1 *

* MANA+1 *

* MANA+1 *....

And all these messages continued until the mushroom lost its blue color.

* you gained +20 MANA *

Arash happily started swinging his sword in the air and shouted:

((wow, Dayan, you are awesome, buddy. If we continue like this, we will become stronger quickly.))

After calming down, he realized that he was no longer hungry.

(So, Dayan will satisfy my hunger by absorbing the mana of the fruits and plant and transferring it to me. Very well, I no longer need to worry about eating. I do not know if Dayan can absorb the MANA of the monster or not. I will research that method later. with this ability, I can Increase my mana very fast and become a great system holder. the only things I need are spells and skills. he he he, I just need to get out of here alive.)

And Arash started to absorb all the mushrooms in that area.

After twenty minutes, he was done.

((Dayan, you are really great. Thanks to you, after a while no one can be my opponent in my MANA pool. It's better to see how much mana is added to me))

((sta....))

SHRIEEEEEEEEEK

A loud shriek rose from the darkness.

Once again, Arash's heart was in his mouth.

Arash was scared and had shaky legs, but still tightened his grip on the sword.

((Don't worry Dayan, I promise you we won't have any difficulties.))

Arash said this to Diane, but his purpose was to give courage to himself.

A monster appeared from the darkness. The monster had a dog-like face, covered with brown hair all over its body, was one meter tall, and walked on its two legs. It was a Kobold.

In the eyes of the experienced system holders, this monster may be nothing but a LEVEL 0 mob that is not worth looking at, but it was very fearsome for Arash Because he had learned an important fact through a big and painful defeat.

(Weak monsters live in a pack.)

Arash's brain was working fast so he could find a way to escape from this mess.

(I have no choice but to kill it and be hopeful that when his pack come looking for him, I will be far away from here. No need to be afraid. I have a sword now. I can kill it.)

The monster smelled a weak creature, so even a large sword in Arash's hands did not scare it.

And That monster attacked Arash with all its might.

Arash raised his sword and waited for the monster to approach the radius of the sword.

out of instincts, The kobold attacked Arash's neck without any thought.

And with the rotation of his hand, Arash hit the kobold on the head.

* -0 HP *

* HP left: 100 *

(oh shit, I'm doomed.)

And once again he tried to run away but stopped when he heard a full of pain howl.

* The weight of the sword broke the bone of the monster's head. *

* -100 hp *

* You defeated a level 0 kobold. *

* you earn 1 EXP *

((yeah, take that you monster. Although my sword doesn't have sharpness, it weighs a lot. yeaaaah,....ha.....I don't know if I taunt myself or brag myself.))

But this time, too, Arash's happiness did not last.

As it turned out, they had heard the sound of a cry full of the pain of their kind and came in this direction immediately.

Arash knew that with his condition he could not fight a monster, let alone a large group of them.

So he fled in the opposite direction to those shouts.

With his weak body, he did not have high speed, but fortunately, he was far away from other monsters, so he was able to escape from there without any trouble and hide in one of the caves around.

With deep breaths, he tried to calm himself.

(With the current state of my sword, I can not harm any monster, fortunately, I kill that kobold with little luck. Next time, I should not leave everything to chance. I now have two options.

Either I strengthen my body enough to can kill monsters or I look for a way to be able to use the MANA that I have in my body properly. now that I am in a safe place, let's check my status.)

I work harder and I will succeed. The only thing that matters is that I find a way to kill these monsters.)

While he was thinking, he picked up one of the red stones around him and played with it.

When he was looking for a way to kill the monsters, he got tired of the stone and threw it into a corner.

BOOOMB

A small explosion knocked Arash out of his thoughts.

He looked at the place where he had thrown the stone and noticed that a small hole had been made in the cave wall.

he looked at the small red rocks around him.

Arash was looking at his third option for killing monsters.
