6 6
1 hour and 30 minutes later
I shouldn't have tempted Murphy's Law. I was currently hiding behind a wall of a broken building, as a horde of six level 5 Skeleton Warriors were on the other side searching for me.
Now, you might be wondering how I wound up in this predicament and to tell you I kinda tempted fate when I mentioned a horde earlier.
Flashback
After deciding on my goal to grind, I wound up finding two more level 1 warriors and easily taking care of them. I continued on making my way through this world and encountering a few more level 1s and a level 2 here or there that bumped me up to 50% of my next level. Having almost used up all my mana, I resorted to using the rusted swords I've collected from the level 1 and 2 skeletons until I was back to full power. This wound up giving me a Swordsmanship skill.
[Swordsmanship Lvl 1- the art of wielding a sword and other bladed weapons]
Don't know if I'll be using this skill much, but maybe I will be able to trade it in for a different skill when I reach level 10 and the Shop feature opens up, that's if it is possible to trade or sell useless skills.
Anyways, I later found a group consisting of three level 1s, two level 2s, 1 level 3, and 1 level 4. I used Observe on the level 3 and 4 skeletons and pretty much got the same description as the level 1s. The only difference were their HP.
Level 1s had 50, 2s had 100, 3 had 150, and 4 had 200.
Taking this into account, I decided to equip the title I was given so I would have more health and energy for this fight.
[Name: Jean Annalise Grey
Age: 16
Race: Mutant
Title: Champion of Life & Death
Level: 2 Next Lvl: 50%
HP: 400/400
MP: 410/410
Str: 10 + (20) = 30
Dex: 10 + (20) = 30
Vit: 15 + (20) = 35
Int: 16 + (20) = 36
Wis: 10 + (20) = 30
Luk: 10 + (20) = 30
SP: 5]
Alright, now that I have double my mana, I can try to eliminate half this group.
Using about half of my mana, I sent a strong telekinetic wave at the skeletal group that obliterated the level 1s and 2s but just sent the last two into a wall.
[Skeleton Warrior Lvl 3
HP: 55/150]
[Skeleton Warrior Lvl 4
HP: 150/200]
Damn, they must have some pretty good defense compared to the lower levels. Another TK wave should get rid of them completely.
Putting the other 200 MP I have into the next TK wave obliterated them completely, leaving behind two blades and 2 $20 bills.

I picked up the money and put it in my inventory and used Observe on the two blades.
[Iron Sword
Dmg: 15]
A little later down the line, after taking on that group, I wound up attacking two more level 3s and 1 level 4. This brought me up 70% of my next level up.
After taking on the few warriors that I did, I kinda got a little bit cocky and foolishly attacked a group of warriors without checking their levels or waiting for my MP to refill after I used almost all of it on a small group of 3 level 4s.
Flashback Ended
That's how I wound up hiding as I waited for my MP to regenerate.
"System, how much time do I have left before 7?" I whispered in case the skeletal warriors could hear me even though they don't have ears.
[About 1 hour and 30 minutes]
Ok, that's enough time. Let's see how much mana I I have left.

So, I'm not full yet, but maybe I can try to separate the group and try to take them all on one by one, starting with the ones I knocked down to half their health or maybe I could try to make a telekinetic bomb of sorts.
I think I'm gonna go the bomb route and just pick off the stragglers with the swords I've collected in my inventory.
I closed my eyes and focused deeply on my Telekinesis and imagined that it gathered into the form of a giant ball that I started compressing into a smaller form.
[Ping!]
[Ping!]
[Ping!]
I ignored the system and kept compressing the ball of mana until it was about the size of a baseball.
That's when I stopped to open my eyes to see that in the palm of my hand was a bright pink energyball.
With my little bomb in hand, I moved from behind the wall and launched it at the horde. The ball of telekinetic energy sailed and hit the central skeletal warrior and exploded, engulfing the other five in the explosion of pink energy.
[Level up!]
Huh, I guess that took all of them out. I wonder what those earlier pings were.
I brought up the notifications to see what they were.
[Telekinesis has leveled up from Basic to Advance]

Alright, I think that's enough for now, I might try to come back later tonight to see if I can try to make it to the boss.
"Alright, system, I ready to leave," I said.
[Are you sure?]
"Yes," I said.
[Leaving Skeleton World]
