TIER-2

After more than ten hours had passed, Hale who was still sleeping in the cave had started to wake up from his deep slumber

As he was waking up he quickly used the divine ability EYE OF THE FATHER to scan the are. He still hadn't forgotten that he was sleeping inside an open cave where monsters could pop inside and kill him if he let his guard down.

But thankfully, there wasn't any life form near him or outside the cave, which was a relief , Hale quickly got up and started heading towards the caves exit

Now that he was fully rested he needed something to eat, or at least that's what he thought.

Even though quite some time had passed, Hale didn't feel any hungry, he felt as if he had just eaten.

"System, what is happening to my body? Why am I not getting hungry?" Hale now was starting to rely on the system more and more.

Back on earth, it only showed him his stats and gave him the daily quests, but now it could also reply to his questions and although the voice was robotic and lacked any emotion it felt more human.

Which gave Hale the idea of what if someone was actually using the system to talk to him or if it was an artificial intelligence just answering his questions.

[THE SKILL ALMIGHTY SOVEREIGN IS IN EFFECT, THE HOST IS IN AN AREA WITH DENSE MANA IN THE ATMOSPHERE, SO THE SKILL IS BEING PASSIVELY USED AS IT ABSORBS THE MANA INTO THE HOST'S BODY REFINING THE MANA CORE AND GIVING ENERGY TO HOST]

Flabbergasted

That was what happens reaction was after hearing what the system had to say, it meant that he didn't need food and he was getting stronger by just breathing

<Wait, it said that I was using the skill passively, from what I can remember I can also use the skill actively which increases its effect

That means that I can get more stronger if I use this skill in a dense mana area>

Hale was now getting excited, now one of his worries was solved instantly, he was worried about food and didn't know what to eat.

Since he has lived his life in a modern world, he didn't know how to hunt down animals and how to make them edible.

<So if I can break through to tier-2 here then it also means that I can also reach tier-3 or tier-4. Did I just found a way to suddenly become OP even before the story really took off>

Hale now quickly wanted to breakthrough the tier-2 and become stronger but he put that on hold and decided to explore the underground cave a little bit more.

Although he knew that it would just be a waste of time he couldn't help but explore the fantasy world he had always dreamt about

Hale reached the lake as he was in deep thought and quickly dived straight into it and started swimming around the water.

He was constantly using the EYE OF THE FATHER to monitor his surrounding and he decided to deep dive inside the lake

After taking a long breath, Hale quickly started to go down the water and started looking around him. He was surrounded by seaweed, kelp and spirulina from all sides and he could also see fish all around himself.

But there was something odd about them, they looked green in colour, which did not make sense as the goblins were of yellow colour so Hale had assumed that all life forms he see through the EYE OF THE FATHER would be yellow in colour but turns out he was wrong.

<Maybe the colour changes on the amount of danger they represent to me> Hale had a speculation so to confirm it he decided to ask the system

[JUST AS THE HOST'S SUSPECTS, THE COLOUR VARIES FROM DANGER TO DANGER THE LIFE FORM REPRESENT TO THE HOST

HERE ARE THE FOLLOWING COLOURS

GREEN- THE HOST IS COMPLETELY SAFE FROM THIS LIFE FORM

YELLOW- THE HOST CAN DEAL WITH THE LIFE FORM EASILY BUT IT REPRESENTS DANGER

ORANGE- THE HOST MUST BE CAREFUL WHEN FACING THE ENEMY

RED- THE HOST MUST FLEE BECAUSE HE WON'T BE ABLE TO DEAL THE ENEMY

BLACK- THE BEING IS TOO POWERFUL TO DETECT IT'S DANGER LEVEL]

The system concluded the description with it's usual robotic tone. Hearing the explanation Hale got chills running down his spine

He was now feeling great full that he didn't run into any red or black coloured monsters otherwise he would be dead

This just made his already goal of getting powerful more strong, perhaps he was the strongest in this little cave, but what about the rest of the world, what about the Dragon Emperor.

This quickly crumbled all the confidence Hale had gained after defeating the goblins. So Hale quickly excited the water lake and quickly started walking towards the cave he was staying in.

Because he was alone in the cave or so he thought himself he was butt naked and roaming around and had left his clothes back in the cave.

After reaching the cave he quickly went inside it and reached the are where he was staying and sat in a cross legged position

Although it was a bit early for his standards he didn't when would there ever be an opportunity of finding a mana dense cave like one he was staying in so why not make the most use out of it while he was here.

After getting comfortable Hale quickly ordered the system to start the process of breaking through to tier-2 mana core

[WOULD THE HOST LIKE TO ASCEND HIS MANA CORE TO TIER-2]

The system asked in it's robotic tone to which Hale replied with a confidence tone like he had already prepared the answer

"Yes!"
