New Things

"But before we start..." Ronald said, then he flicked his finger.

There was a sound coming from the open house, and after a few seconds, a Status Tag came flying from there. It slowly descends at Ronald's hand and is put on the table.

"Here. Use this. Don't ask any questions and touch it. I made this, and unlike the Status Tag that you have, which is made from the mixed Mithril and Light Silver, mine is made from a pure Mithril condensed with Original Mana. So it could handle that weird immense Original Mana inside you." Ronald.

Though had a lot of questions in mind, Reh just followed and did what Ronald instructed. Reh touched the Status Tag on the table, and like usual, white light emerged from it, but it disappeared after a few minutes. Ronald immediately took the Status Tag and looked at it.

"KUKUKUKUKU." Ronald once again laughed maniacally. Then he tosses the Status Tag toward Reh. Reh caught it and looked at what was written on the Status Tag.

It caused an enormous shock on Reh's existence after he saw what was on the Status Tag.

"H-how... Is... This... Even... Possible??" Reh asked a question while his hands holding the Status Tag were shaking.

"It is possible. You look at it right now."

"B-but... How?"

"Don't ask how or what happened as I also didn't know. In 500 years in my existence here on Deimos, this is the first time I counter this type of situation."

Reh is further confused by this situation. And he knew. His Stats were much higher than the average level 1 individual here on Deimos. There are a lot of questions lingering in Reh's head.

How did this happen?

Why did this happen?

What is the Half Awakened?

What are those locked?

And lastly, why does a mere level 1 have higher Stats than normal?

While pondering these questions, Reh suddenly felt that his body began to float. He looked at Ronald to ask, but he was cut off.

"The best way to answer all of your questions is by discovering them. Learn how it works, its limitation, and the impact on your opponent. For that to happen, you need to engage in a life and death situation."

After Ronald said it, Reh suddenly fell asleep.

***

Splash!

Reh woke up to the cold water splash on his face.

"Wake up. It's time for your first lesson."

"Huh? First lesson?" Reh said, then he looked around him only to see that they were now in a different location.

"Yes… First lesson. Didn't I say that I'm going to help with your revenge? The sooner, the better, so let's start now." Ronald said in a solemn tone.

"W-what?!" Reh was shocked. Yes, he pleads and asks for help, but he's not ready yet.

"Wait–Training?!"

"Yes. I will train you. Didn't I say earlier? I cannot leave this forest, and the only way to help is to make you strong. And I promise in my family's honor that I will do that.

In this training, you needed to discover the full capabilities of your Skills and Stats and steel yourself.

If you wanted to get your revenge successfully, you needed to change that attitude of yours.

We are now on the outskirts of Carnage Forest. Your goal is to return to my home from here. Survived and knew your capabilities if you wanted to get your revenge.

That's all. Good luck. I will wait for you." Ronald said, then he suddenly disappeared and left Reh behind.

"What the hell is this?" Reh.

***

Whoosh Whoosh

Strong winds were blowing in the sky, but they didn't hinder Ronald as he floated in the sky. He was currently looking down and observing Reh, that was hiding at the back of the block tree.

Ronald was using his Skill - Sense to feel his surrounding that's why even if he's an undead--Elder Lich, his senses were much higher than normal, so the lush black leaves of the block tree were not an obstacle to his observation of Reh.

"You needed to survive on this if you wanted to achieve your revenge. Before you reach your nemesis, there are a lot of beings that would hinder and block your ways. And they are not your ordinary beings. They are the most powerful beings here on Deimos.

You need to throw away your earthy attitude of yours if you want to stand toe to toe with them.

You need to be strong enough before I tell you the true intention and goal of Zagon.

You could do it because you have Flori's Skills.

When the time comes... I will tell you everything. I will surely tell you everything before I run out of time."

Then another strong wind blows, and it causes the fluttering of his bottom cloths of Ronald, and from there, Ronald's lower black bones can be seen. Ronald's lower part was slowly engulfed by the miasma. It is only a matter of time before he fully loses himself.

***

Fuck Ronald! Why did you leave me behind?!" Reh said while he was hiding at the block tree.

Then he took out his updated Status Tag in his pocket.

"Discover the capabilities and my stats? How on earth I would do that?!" Reh said while still at the Status Tag.

Reh truly doesn't know what to do. Reh was always left out when an important discussion or explanation was happening on the Empire. To make it simple, Reh was clueless about how the world of Deimos works.

"Class - Jack of All Trades. I have a rough idea regarding my new Class. It tells me that I could have many Skills as much as I could and master them, but..." Out of curiosity, Reh touched the Status Tag, and the moment he touched it, the words written on Status Tag added new words.

"T-this... This Absorption Skill was overpowered!" Reh blurted out in disbelief after he read the newly added description of his Skill.

"And Excalibur?"

And the same time Reh uttered the word "Excalibur," white energy suddenly appeared on his right hand!

"Gah!"

Reh jolted at the sudden appearance of this white energy, but after a few seconds, he calmed down because he did not feel any discomfort or pain instead, he felt that this energy was a part of Reh's body.

"Hahaha... Hahahahaha!"

Reh laughed while he practiced swinging the white sword energy in his hand. Then he looked at the block tree, and an idea appeared on Reh's mind.

Reh walked towards the tree, and without saying anything, he lightly slashed it.

Slash!

And like a piece of paper, the tree cut smoothly. After that, Reh cuts another tree, then another, and another, another... Reh began his block tree logging.

***

After a few minutes of cutting down the block trees, Reh looks back on his back only to see the block tree stumps around his area.

But Reh was not satisfied yet. He happily strides forward to further test his new Skill. However, the moment Reh cut a new tree, his happy expression began to disappear.

Behind his newly cut tree was a monster that was preparing to sleep, but it stopped when Reh cut down the tree.

ROARRRRRRR

The monster began to stand up on its two feet!

It had a robust body, trotters feet, tusk, and boar head!

It throws both of its hands upwards, and using its strength and momentum, the Orc smashed where Reh was standing!

Booom!

The attack causes a crater and weak tremors! After the dust subsided, only then did the Orc realize that the attack it made missed!

Reh jumped back a few meters away from the attack. He was shocked that he reacted fast and avoided the attack.

"W-what the--."

Reh didn't finish and recovered from the shock when the Orc began to charge toward Reh! The Orc plans to grab Reh and squeeze him to death!

But the Orc plan didn't succeed as Reh jumped over its large body, at the same time, cut one of the Orc's arms!

ROARRRRRRRR

The Orc roared in pain while the blood gushed out from its decapitated arm, but it was not the end yet!

After Reh landed, he put his right hand towards his left hand as if he was going to draw a sword. Then he propelled towards the Orc!

Swoosh!

The Orc didn't notice the incoming attack of Reh as the Orc was in pain.

When Reh was about to reach the Orc, he drew out his right hand from his left hand, then Reh said...

"EXCALIBUR!!!!"

Swoop! Slash!

Reh skillfully and smoothly cut the Orc's head!

Spurt! Spurt!

Thud!

The sound of blood gushing out from the Orc's body and its head and body falling on the ground, at the same time as Reh's landing.

Silent prevailed in the entire area.

Reh looked at the body of the dead Orc. There was no sign of exhaustion on his face or body as if Reh was accustomed to this.

"What the hell..."

The only words Reh uttered.

From this moment, Reh would now begin to explore and learn the new things that happened in his entire being.
