Chapter 4

After viewing his updated stats, he learns that by having an attribute of more than one point he can become a level one warrior based on the standard of the system.

Eric is thrilled to have officially become a level one warrior according to the ranking of the system. He may not be familiar with the system yet, but he trusts that it is a more accurate measure of his abilities compared to the standards of his own world.

Eric was still lost in thought when he heard a knock on his door.

"Knock, knock," a voice called out, breaking through his concentration.

"Young master, your breakfast is ready," the voice continued.

He allowed the maid to enter his room and bring in his breakfast. He was feeling especially ravenous today, as he was still in high spirits from his newfound strength.

The maid, who had served him for many years, couldn't help but notice a change in him. He seemed to have an abundance of energy and vitality today, unlike his usual state of being.

She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but there was something different about him. Nevertheless, she didn't dwell on it too much and left the room, allowing Eric to continue eating his meal in peace.

After finishing his meal, He then made his way to the bathroom to take a refreshing bath, feeling invigorated and ready. Once he was finished, he set out to report to his father. They had a discussion about what had happened the previous night at his birthday. After some time, Eric excuses himself as he plans to go to the training ground.

Eric avoided inspecting his father as he was worried that his father would detect something and since he knows his father is very powerful. Before mastering the system, Eric decided to keep a low profile as much as possible to avoid any trouble for himself.

When Eric arrived at the training ground, he saw that his brother was already there, training. His brother was extremely dedicated to training and spent half of his day at the training ground every day.

Eric walked towards his designated spot to watch his brother train, accompanied by some guards on the second floor.

He was curious about his brother's attributes, so he decided to inspect him using the system. He was sure that his brother was not an old demon, so he felt confident that he could use the system without being discovered.

Name Diego Blueleaf (16)

Rank: Level 15 Warrior

Health: 100/100

Attributes-

Strength: 15.9

Agility: 12.5

Intelligence: 13.9

Combat Awareness: 13

Eric couldn't help but admire his brother's strength, He noticed that his brother was already a level 15 warrior and was likely at the peak of that level. He knew that his brother's strength was formidable and could easily defeat him in a fight, despite him just becoming a level 1 warrior himself. He also realized that it was likely that his brother could break through to level 16 at any moment, as he was already at the peak of level 15. Eric couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for his brother's dedication to training and discipline,

Eric didn't linger at the training ground for long after observing his brother, he knew that it would only be a matter of time before he surpasses his brother's strength. He understood that with his newfound abilities, it would only take time to surpass this strength.

As Eric quickly made his way outside, the guards were taken aback, as it was unusual for him to leave the training ground before his brother's training session was almost over. They were accustomed to seeing him stay until nearing the end of his brother's training session, so this sudden departure was unexpected. They knew that this was the first time it had happened in a long while and they couldn't help but wonder what had prompted this sudden change in his behavior.

"Why did the third young master leave early today?" one of the guards asked, clearly perplexed by Eric's sudden departure.

"I'm not sure," another guard replied, "but this is the first time he leave before the end of his brother's training session in a long time." One of the guards began to speculate,

"Maybe he realized that he has no talent in martial arts, as we all know..." but before he could finish his sentence, the other guards quickly hushed him, aware of the potential consequences of being heard.

They all know that it is not appropriate to speak about the young master in such a manner and it could cause trouble for them. They decided to keep their thoughts and speculations to themselves.

Diego also noticed that Eric had left the training ground early, but he only gave it a passing thought as he was more focused on his own training. He was aware that he was close to reaching another breakthrough in his strength and was fully invested in his training. He knew that he couldn't afford to be distracted by Eric's departure and instead, he kept his attention on improving his own abilities. He was determined to reach his full potential and nothing would distract him from that goal.

After leaving the training ground, Eric set his sights on his next task for the day - visiting the library in the family villa. This was where his father kept all of the manuals and skills that were available for the family to learn and study. He knew that this would be a great opportunity for him to try the "learn function".

Eric was filled with excitement as he thought about trying out this function. He was eager to learn more about it and see what it could do.

As he approached the library, he saw two guards standing at the entrance, in front of a massive five-meter door that seemed to require great strength to open. He knew that this door protected valuable knowledge and resources and the guards were there to ensure that only authorized personnel could enter.

Eric scanned the guards' attributes and was surprised to find out that they were both level 30 warriors. He was impressed by their strength and knew that it was no wonder his father had assigned them to protect the family's valuable knowledge and skills kept in the library. He knew that these guards would be able to effectively keep the library and its contents secure, making sure that only his family would have access to the knowledge and resources stored within.

"Young master, what brings you here today?" one of the guards asked as Eric approached the library.

"I'd like to enter the library and do some reading," Eric replied.

The guard nodded and allowed Eric to enter the library, they knew that the monarch has given permission for his children to access the library during the day.

The two guards opened the massive door with ease, showing their strength. Eric knew that without their assistance, he would have been unable to open the heavy door on his own.

They had a brief conversation about why Eric is there, and after that, the guards opened the door for Eric to enter the library. He was grateful for their assistance and made his way inside, ready to begin his study.

As Eric entered the library, he was greeted by an impressive sight. The library was filled with towering bookshelves that reached up to 20 meters in height and filled an extensive collection of books. Eric couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as he looks at the vast amount of knowledge that was stored within this library.

The guards closed the door behind him, but Eric knew that he had the freedom to leave as he pleased, as there was a teleportation array inside the library. This allowed anyone inside the library to leave whenever they wanted, providing the convenience of Eric being able to leave the library when he wishes.

Eric began to scan the bookshelves, carefully searching for the section that held the skill manuals. After some time, he finally located the section, where he found a wide variety of skills available. Ranging from sword skills, hand-to-hand combat skills, dagger skills, and many others. He was impressed by the variety and depth of skills that were available in this section.

Eric carefully considered his options as he perused the skill manuals. He knew that he only had six slots available in his skill arsenal, so he had to be selective in his choices. He decided that his primary focus would be on sword skills and movement skills to complement as he believes they complement each other.

Eric spent hours scanning through the mountain of manuals, carefully evaluating each one to find the skills that best suited his needs. He finally narrowed down his choices to four sword skills and two movement skills, that stood out from the rest and caught his attention. As he was pondering over which skills to select, a system notification suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Ding! A sword skill, Sword Mastery, has been detected. Would you like to learn this skill?]

Eric was confused by the system notification, he was holding a skill manual for a skill called Moonlight of Seven Seas, and he was about to learn it, but the system notification was for a skill called Sword Mastery. He was curious about this unexpected development, and he started to wonder how this skill was showing up in the system.

Eric was still hesitant to learn the Sword Mastery skill, but he decided to test if the same thing will happen in another manual, then he give it a try by grabbing another sword technique manual, and again, the same prompt appeared in his panel.

He realized that he had no choice but to accept it since he had already decided to learn sword skills. He decided that this skill should be plausible and worth learning, after all, it was showing up in his system, which means it was being recommended by the system.

[System notification: Congratulations on learning the Sword Mastery skill]

[System notification: Sword Mastery skill is a powerful sword skill, any attack initiated by the user is considered a technique.]

Eric was filled with excitement as he read the system notification. He realized that this was a very powerful technique and any attack he initiated with his sword would be considered a technique, this made his imagination run wild with possibilities. He knew that this skill would be a game-changer for him.
