Battlers Online
Carmen stated that her party raid would return in three days, implying that Kai should wait until that time. He had 6 days to complete his quest, and the only thing he needed to do was form a bond with Carmen in the two days that remained.
...
On the other hand, after Carmen had exited the area. Kai immediately began training with his spear in order to receive the spear mastery I and a new skill.
1800...
1801...
1802...
After only 5 hours, Kai was already drenched in his own sweat and struggling to propel his spear forward. His arms were numb, and he was nearing the end of his strength.
Bam!
Huff... Huff...
He collapsed to the ground, sweat dripping from his ears. "Damn... I'm too tired, I can't feel my legs, and my chest tightens every time I push my spear forward."
He cocked his head toward the spear, convincing himself that he needed to finish wielding it before the day was done.
Fortunately, Alexa had prepared food and water for him, which allowed him to replenish his stamina and strength.
Furthermore, after resting for the third time, Kai resumed his training and planned to complete this final set.
He appeared to be well-versed in the fact that he cannot continuously wield his spear. So he determines the exact numbers when he is able to rest.
Ding!
Kai, on the other hand, finished his training in less than an hour. His movements were stiff and slow, which was why he took his time.
'Finally,' Kai said weakly, unable to raise his hands any longer.
[Great! You've finished the quest! Do you want to be rewarded? Yes/No]
Yes.
He opened all of the rewards he received in this quest without hesitation. At the same time, he was looking forward to learning a new skill.
+200 exp!
+3 additional strength directly to your stats!
[Great! You have acquired Spear Mastery I!]
[Do you want to unlock your new skill? Yes/No]
Yes.
Ding!
[Deadly reach]- +7% critical chance on attacks against targets that are 3m+ away. Cost: 9 mana, cool down duration: 30 seconds.
"This is what I call the offensive skills." Kai had a malicious smile on his face, as he was also trying to unlock the other skills he obtained when he reached level 10 earlier.
[Now you have reached level 10, you are allowed to open a random skill!]
To be exact, Kai was looking at the multiple dark scrolls on the screen. It seemed like, he should pick one skill scroll among the seven skill scrolls.
"Wait... All the scrolls here had no leaked information, which means the quality of the skill will I pick is based on my luck." He said inwardly, then picked the skill scroll located in the first row.
Ding!
[Great! You successfully unlock your new skill!]
[Peek] level 1 - using this skill, you are allowed to see the other creatures' abilities and their ranks. Cost: 10 mana pool.
"Holy maw! This skill is too much more than what I expected. Through this, I can discover which adventurer I can fight or not. It feels like I'm cheating." He smirked.
Furthermore, Kai was looking at the surroundings, checking if there was any creature here that he can use his [Peek] skill. Unfortunately, he found nothing besides the rocks and magical crystals that helped him to have a full glance at the entire area.
At this point, he took a glance at the area exactly where the gate was located. However, he gradually shook his head and said.
"No, I can't go there yet. My strength and stamina aren't in the good condition to fight monsters."
Well, that was quite a decision since even he gets stronger than the last time. Still, he can't afford to enter a certain floor without his good condition. Why? It was because of the possibility that the hundreds of monsters would approach him.
While waiting for his strength to get back in its original state. Kai decided to manage first all of his remaining attributes.
'Status!'
As soon as he said this word, another blue elevated screen appeared right before his eyes.

Kai decided to put the two free attributes on his dexterity, to increase his handling skills. And as soon as he put all the +8 (AP) on his intelligence, his brain started flashing some of his memories playing inside the expensive room.
Argh!
And all of a sudden, Kai was screaming in agony, feeling his head would split into pieces after receiving this memory. Yet, he knew this was the type of pain he can endure.
He was rolling on the flat surface while holding his head and doing all the things he could do that he thought helped him wash away the pain.
In his mind, he saw that he was fighting some monsters on the screen, meeting other people, and fulfilling some quests.
Yes, he was aware that the screen that appeared in front of him was similar to the interface in the game he played.
When the pain subsided, he was dumbfounded at the ceiling, analyzing all the information provided by his mind right now. It appeared every time he was increasing his intelligence, he will remember something about his past life.
"Deranium City? Nocturnal Tower? Quest? Adventurer? Guilds? Everything is clear to me aside from how I went into this place. I'm inside the Battlers Online...?"
