5 Ghrompee Town
Nemesis didn't cancel the [Disguise] even he's far. He casted it 2 more times just to make sure no one will discover his true appearance as he escapes.
His long running led him into this cave. It's big enough for him to sleep, also safe from big magical beasts that's roaming around.
"Finally I got away from that freaking gorilla. Now I can sleep quietly."
He now lie down on the soft earth like a puppet whose strings are cut and started to snore.

The next day...
Nemesis woke up after 12 hours. Still feeling sleepy even after the long sleep, he still feel it's not enough. After a few more 5 minutes short naps, he now feels refreshed. He roasted another bear meat for his meal. He went to the nearby river for his bath.
After his morning ritual, he now plans on how long he will arrive in the town. He is really in need of information. Nemesis also noticed that he have no money.
"Sigh. I'm still less halfway through of this journey. According to to the map and system, it'll take me a month to arrive there and that's without accidents. Besides I'll farm more exp on the way, maybe I'll get to level 40 or 50 when I get there." he muttered to himself.
Nemesis stood up and started his journey. On his first prey was a Silver Lion. The beast is fast and hit really hard. Standing at Level 30, its level is not for show. It took Nemesis 30 minutes to kill it.
He continued farming exp, creating skills and familiarizing himself with all of it.
One and a half month later.
A human youth with a mid-back length red hair tied into a ponytail on his back, a cross-shaped scar on his left cheek, and wearing a black cloak is currently running towards a medieval style gate. The entrance is filled with travelers trying to get into the town forming a line. This town is really strict on inspections, especially to foreigners.
While waiting for the youth's turn to get in, he began talking to the person in from of him. It's a small man, around half the height of normal human, a long hair and beard, holding a bottle of beer, and lastly riding a donkey looking beast. This is a dwarf.
Dwarves are famous in all the nine realms. They are sought after by mortals and Gods alike for their undeniably talents for creation. Mostly revered for being masterful weapons and armor smith, marvelous builders, and some being peerless alchemists and scientists.
This particular Dwarf is a blacksmith of this town named Ghrompee Town. He just came back from mining ores in the nearby Tralala Mountains and now planning to resume his work here. Talking to him reveals what metals are native in this part of the continent. Namely: Iron, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Mythril, Orichalcum, and Adamantium. The other rare type ones can only be found in the other realms.
Metals vary their uses in weapons and armor smithing. Only Mythril and above are the materials that can withstand the power of engraved runes or enchantment magic that's why they are always sought after for making magical items.
Nemesis finally had his turn and entered Ghrompee Town after paying 5 silver coins to the guard. The town is quite lively despite its average size. Shops on every street corner, mostly weapons and armors on display. Besides Dwarves selling their wares, Elves and Human can be seen selling herbs and magical plants for alchemy or ingredients for magic item enchantment.
After walking for an hour he finally found an Inn in the inner part of town near the Mayor's mansion. Entering it, he saw some humans drinking with dwarves, laughing and joking with each other. Passing them he went to the counter to check in. On the counter is a big bulky guy around 7 feet tall with a large mustache curled on each ends as a receptionist.
"How much for a night here?" he asked, while in he is screaming in his head saying "I was expecting a sexy lady with cat's ear and have a cute voice talking to me as a receptionist."
"7 silver a night. 10 if you want to add the meals as well." the receptionist replied in a gruff voice. Hearing the voice makes you think to not do anything stupid in this place while you are in here, or else you are dead kind of vibe.
"I'll take the room and ill skip the meals. Thanks." then put 7 silver coins on the counter.
"Ok then, here is your key. The room is on the third floor second door on the left." While handling him the key and taking the payment.
Nemesis took the key and going on his way upstairs when suddenly it's blocked by another dude that almost has the same features as the receptionist, minus the mustache. The dude is looking at him as if challenging him to pass him in order to get upstairs, otherwise scram. While thinking on whacking this dude out, the room suddenly became quiet, anticipating on what he will do now.
Seeing this around him, Nemesis chuckled. "It's just like one from the movies.". He casted [Bloodlust Amplify] then take a look at the guy.
Seeing the overwhelming aura of Bloodlust and stare from this youth, a chill crawled up to his spine and he immediately step aside to let this kid go up and get away from here. The people inside also felt this oppressive aura and also had chills crawled up to them. They now felt fear from a young man.
Disappearing from their view, the whole room is now filled again with noises. Mostly talking about the bloodlust aura from the kid. Whispers here and there telling each other to not mess with the guy. They now wondered where this kid come from and how did he get that powerful aura despite being a kid.
The receptionist was approached by the guy that tested Nemesis. "Hey Ricardo, that guy scared the shit out of me. I never expected a kid to have so much bloodlust. How many do you think he killed already? He looked so young."
"Why are you asking me about that Alberto? I don't even know. Maybe he is a traveler or a hunter on his way back to the capital. Good thing he didn't beat your ass or something or the guys here will make a joke about you being beaten down by a kid. Hahahahaha."
"Hey, will you shut up? I'm already level 60 and I'm not afraid of anything."
"You had one just now. Hahahahaha."
"Damn it!. Enough of that!"
Upstairs in his room, not caring about what they are talking about after he left, Nemesis finally sat down in his bed and began counting his spoils from his trip here.
During the course of his adventure, he got to level 48 two levels away from his target level 50. Recounting his spoils ranging from beast cores, hides, and herbs. He also got weapons, money, and a few magic items from an unlucky bandit group he met along the way.
He now currently has the Reinforcement, Projection magic, and Fly all upgraded to level 10, including his other skills thanks to the Skill level up cards he got from the lottery. He still has remaining Skill upgrade cards for his upcoming new spells. He also unlocked four additional creation slots from the system making it at a total of seven skills to create.
He started to get Teleportation, Multicast, Bloodlust Amplify, Anti-Divination Spell, Essence Aura, Mana Essence, and Arcane Recovery. Bloodlust Amplify and Essence aura has just been finished when he arrived leaving him two slots for skill creation. He decided to leave it at the moment in case he remembers a cool spell.
--------
[Bloodlust Amplify] Release an aura of bloodlust from the monsters the user has killed. The more killed, the more powerful the aura.
[Essence Aura] When the user cast a spell, it gains a chance to restore percentage of the mana used.
Proc Chance : 55%
Max Mana restored: 40%
*Both skills are max level*
----------
All those spell costed him a whopping 2090 SCP to create, leaving him with 169 SCP making him poor again. Even with the use of Skill completion cards on the remaining five skills, it was still not enough to shorten it to 1 month or less.
Finished in remembering his adventures he went to bath and prepare himself to sleep. He is really tired from all the running and fighting so he will start finding information next day. Before going to sleep he tasked the system to create the [Clean] spell for 100 SCP. Now down to 69 SCP he decided to just sleep it out and think it's just a dream or something.
