**Hello, here I am again.**
Good chapter.
----------------------------------------------
"How strange, I don't see anything different," Dave thought to himself, analyzing his status. Since there were no attributes, he couldn't tell what was good or bad, nor the effects. "Well, I guess it doesn't matter much. I can figure it out over time." Dave thought as he composed himself and looked at the skeleton near him.
"Now, how do I kill this guy?" Dave wondered and walked towards the standing skeleton, starting to analyze it, searching for any weakness. Soon, he noticed a tiny purple crystal inside the skeleton's skull through its empty eye sockets.
"I think that must be its weak spot." Dave thought and picked up a stone from the ground, raising it above his head before bringing it down hard on the skeleton's skull.
BANG!
A loud cracking sound echoed as the stone struck the skeleton's head, creating a large hole in the skull, but unfortunately, the blow wasn't strong enough to hit the crystal.
"Ah, damn it." Dave thought, and in the next moment, the skeleton began to move and attacked him with its bony arms, trying to grab and bite him. A hand-to-hand combat between skeletons ensued.
"Take this!" Dave thought, punching the skeleton in the face, causing its head to spin backward with a crack before slowly returning to face him. "I guess that didn't work." This was Dave's last thought before the skeleton lunged at him, biting his bony arm like a wild dog.
The two started rolling on the ground, constantly hitting and biting each other. The fight was fierce, with the sound of clashing bones echoing through the previously silent alley.
(Do not laugh)
Soon, Dave managed to get on top of the skeleton and grabbed another stone from the ground. "Let's see if you don't die now!" he said and then struck the skeleton's head with the stone.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of the stone hitting echoed through the alley, and the skeleton's body trembled with each blow to its head. This went on for a few seconds until the skeleton finally stopped moving.
"Phew, it's finally over." Dave thought, sighing mentally as he looked at the small purple stone left from the destroyed skull before picking it up.
As soon as he touched the stone, it dissolved into a very fine purple mist and entered his head, startling him. But soon, a notification sound echoed in his mind.
(Warning: Corrupted mana stone absorbed.)
(Due to the sacred blessing, the mana has been purified.)
(+2 mana.)
"I absorbed the stone?" Dave wondered and immediately called for status in his mind.
----------------Status---------------

---------------------------------------
"My experience increased by 5, and my mana by 2." Dave thought and somewhat understood how to strengthen himself for now. Having finished evaluating his new statistics, Dave decided to face the next skeleton but noticed a problem.
"Ah, my bones are all chipped." The bones in his body were almost all slightly damaged due to his last fight with the skeleton, making him wonder what to do next. "Maybe I can cast healing with sacred magic?" Dave wondered, placing his hand on himself before mentally saying.
"Heal."
.....
Obviously, it didn't work.
"How do I heal myself?" Dave wondered, analyzing his status once again before trying something different. With his knowledge of games and magic stories, visualization was very important when using magic, so Dave decided to imagine a light coming from his hand and healing his bones.
In the next instant, a small light emerged from his hand and poured over his bones, repairing them. "Hoho, not bad." Dave said to himself, but at that moment, he noticed another problem.
The other skeleton in the alley seemed to sense his healing magic and looked in his direction before starting to walk toward him. "This is kind of bad," Dave thought to himself, but this time, he decided to fight with a better plan.
Dave pulled the arm bones from the skeleton he had killed and improvised a club before pointing it at the approaching skeleton. "Come and face me, creature of darkness!" Dave proclaimed, and the skeleton responded by charging at him with its mouth open, wanting to bite him. But Dave struck it.
BAM!
A hollow sound echoed through the alley as the skeleton's head was struck, causing it to fall to the side but quickly recover and attack Dave again, who struck it once more from above.
BAM!
The blow hit the skeleton again, making it fall face-first to the ground and briefly cracking its skull. Without waiting for it to recover, Dave struck it again in the head, finishing breaking it, and the skeleton stopped moving.
(Level up!)
The notification sound echoed in his mind as Dave picked up the mana stone and absorbed it. Soon after, the notifications arrived again. "Let's see now." Dave thought and opened his status.
----------------Status---------------

---------------------------------------
"I gained two new skills, not bad." Dave thought and picked up another bone to replace the one he had in his hand. Despite all the combat, Dave didn't feel tired, so he decided to continue killing skeletons to level up.
"Now, let's farm." Dave thought, and his skull made a sort of sinister and malicious smile like a veteran player about to start an endless speed run.
