4 This Is Just Like A Game (3)

--/At Sein Cave/--

[ Would you like to use the skill? ]

Hunter, without any hesitation, spoke the words, "Activate 'Holy Eyes'." His eyes started to glow white light and in the middle were blue crystal-like pupils.

The time started to move again and just as when the rats were about to kill him, he dodged their claws. The rats tried again but every time they attacked no matter how fast they were, Hunter would still dodge them all.

How? With the help of the skill of course. The skill 'Holy Eyes' is a skill that allowed him to see a few moments of the future. For example, if someone throws a stone, when he uses the skill, he will see where it will go or what happens to it. The skill also enhances the users sense of sight.

That's why every time the rats attack, he would see where they will land there attacks and he will have time to think of a way to dodge it or counter it.

Hunter was able to get the sword that he dropped and he was able to predict the rats' movement. One rat attacked him earlier than the others. Naturally, he dodged it and stabbed the rat's back.

[ Note. You have killed a 'Cave Rat Lv. 1'. You have gained some experience in fighting. ]

'Four more left.' he thought. This time, he didn't wait for the rats to attack him. He ran at them and simultaneously, he cut of their heads like it was nothing. Soon, the messages rang in his head.

[ Note. You have killed a 'Cave Rat Lv. 1'. You have gained some experience in fighting. ]

Hunter felt tired but at the same time, he felt relief and a sense of self-satisfaction. It was his first time doing something so thrilling in his life.

/Hunter's Point of View/

I was breathing heavily. Right now, I am feeling the best feeling I have ever felt. This situation I'm in, it's like a game. To think that I will be doing more things like this in the future, I'm was getting so excited.

"But even so I am, I shouldn't show it on my face." After saying that to myself, I wanted to know if my status improved.

Normally in games, after gaining experience points and leveling up, I would receive some status points. And I can assign those status points to any of my skill statuses like my strength, intelligence, magic, and agility.

"Show status." The words formulated in front of me again.

[ Name: Hunter Eiden]

[ Level: 1 ]

[ Age: 13 ]

[ HP: 138 ]

[ MP: 80 ]

[ Stamina: 23 ]

[ Strength: 13 ]

[ Agility: 17 ]

[ Intelligence: 17 ]

[ Magic: 0 ]

*[ Sense: 9 ]

*[ Skills: Holy Eyes Lv. 1]

*[ Special Attribute: System Lv. 1]

[ Equipment: Old Rusty Short Iron Sword ]

Some of my statuses went up. Ah! Now I understand how it works. The more I move and do things, the more my statuses go up.

I looked at my skill. This skill 'Holy Eyes' is really useful. Not only does it improve my seeing, it also allows me to see a glimpse of the future.

I looked at my special attribute. I seem to understand a bit about what this 'System' is. The one's that had been talking to me, giving me me warnings and notifying me is the 'System'.

But why did I get this? Is this my starter skill or something? But if it is, how come it's so strong? It even granted me with a very strong skill.

I shrugged those thoughts of. I still needed to get out of this cave. "System, can you give—... No, give me directions on where I should go to get out of this place."

I sounded like I was commanding it, which was really the case. Since it was an attribute, asking it nicely won't bring better results anyways.

[ Note. Even better, I will show you a map of this cave. Consume 50 MP to continue action? ]

A map? But it is very costly. I don't care. My top priority is to get out of here. Besides, even after consuming 50 MP, I would still have enough to use the 'Holy Eyes' skill one more time.

Since my total MP was 100, after using the skill, it went down to 80. Which means that 'Holy Eyes' consume 20 MP.

"Continue action.", I answered the 'System'.

[ Note. 'System' has consumed 50 MP. Starting to create map. It will take the 'System' exactly 30 minutes to finish. ]

[ Note. You have 30 MP remaining. ]

Thirty minutes. It's not that long. I can just wait for it. No. I don't have time to wait. I should continue exploring this cave. But the problem is my stamina. What happens if it goes down to zero?

"System. Find a way to refill my stamina."

[ Note. The 'System' has started searching for ways to refill stamina. Note. The 'System' has found several ways to refill stamina. ]

[ 1. Rest. It will refill 1 stamina every 30 seconds and 1 MP every two minutes. ]

[ 2. Drink recovery potion. It will definitely refill all of your HP, MP, and stamina depending on how much you intake. ]

[ 3. Collect the energy particles in your surroundings. To be able to do this, you will need to learn the skill 'Meditation'. The recovery rate depends on the level of the skill. ]

[ Note. These are the most easiest way to refill your MP and stamina in your current level. ]

Seriously?! In my current level, that means there are other ways to recover them when I go to higher levels.

Okay. For now, let's look at the available options. Resting. That is definitely no good. The recovery rate is too slow. If I use that way, it will take me forever to fill up my stamina!

The second option is to drink a recovery potion. This also no good. I don't have any potions at all!

The third is to collect energy particles. But where do I learn the 'Meditation' skill?! AAH! These are all useless! The only option I could go with right now is to rest.

"Damn it.", I said. But even though I am feeling so irritated right now, I still wear the same poker face. This is something I have already mastered. I won't show any of my emotions through my face.

I sighed. What do I do now?
