Solution and Level Up
Stephen continued to explore the forest. Simultaneously he tried to come up with a good way to kill that overgrown cat. He will definitely make a lion coat for himself. It's already a matter of pride. He can't allow that kitty to look down on him.
Being annoyed, Stephen explored more than 90% of the forest. Suddenly he saw something that attracted his attention. He was really surprised to see it here.
"Wow! Isn't it …? No way! It can't be so easy right?", exclaimed excited Stephen.
"It seems, just like Nero said, there is no impossible quests!"
"Hahahahaha", laughed a loud Stephen.
"But I'll need to confirm it first. Just to be 100% sure.", said Stephen to himself.
He found something that he thought was an answer for his problem with killing the BOSS. Even though he must confirm it first, Stephen had very high expectations toward it. It was like bottle of cold water in the hot desert.
Because even after a long while he couldn't come up with some good plan, Stephen started to feel frustrated about it. That's why it was a good thing to find some hope. At least it definitely improved his mood.
Stephen marked this place in his mind and continued to scout.
When he finished exploration of the whole area, Stephen decided that it was already time for his first level up. It was already middle of the second day, yet he still didn't level up. Even if he knew that it was the right choice to scout first, Stephen couldn't repress excitement and anxiety that tormented him. No matter what, It was his first level up. Everyone will feel the same emotions if they are in his place.
That's why Stephen hurriedly went searching for rabbits, even forgetting about his meal.
After about 1 hour of hunting, Stephen finally heard the long-awaited notification.
[Ding! You have killed 1 Ordinary Rabbit. Reward: 10 exp.]
[Ding! Level up!]
[
Level: 0 → 1
Strength: 3 → 4
Agility: 3 → 4
Physique: 5 → 6
Intelligence: 7 → 9
Wisdom: 6 → 8
Energy: 70 → 90 ( Intelligence x 10 )
Free attribute points: 2.
]
[Ding! Congratulation! You have created your first skill!]
[Bow Mastery (Novice – 0%) - You know how to properly hold a bow in your hands. Effect: when using a bow Strength +2, Agility +1, Accuracy +10%]
[Ding! You have killed 10 Ordinary Rabbits. You have received a new title 'Novice Rabbit Hunter'! Effect: Agility +1, +10% additional damage to rabbits. Do you want to equip a new title?]
Stephen answered 'Yes' and continued to watch all notifications that popped-up after level up. He never expected that beside level up, he will get a title and create a skill. Even if the title was a little ….
Nevertheless, skill was a good thing to get. Especially so, if it's such a good skill. Stephen never expected to get 'Bow Mastery' so easily after the lecture from Nero about how difficult it can be to create one.
'Maybe I really have some talent with bows. Hehe', thought Stephen.
"Alright. Let's see. Nero, put 2 free attribute points into agility.", decided Stephen.
[Ding! Yes, host.]
[Agility: 4 → 6]
"Hmm. By the way Nero. Is it supposed to be like that, when my Strength, Agility and Physique increased by 1, but Intelligence and Wisdom by 2?", curiously asked Stephen.
He noticed it while he was studying notifications. Stephen found it strange that some of his stats increased more than others, that's why he decided to ask Nero.
[Ding! No, host. In the ordinary case, they all should have increased only by 1 for a player in the Human realm.]
[From what I see, It's probably the effect of your bloodline. Even if it still unawakened.]
[You should rejoice host. Not many of a bloodlines have such effect. It's seems that at least your bloodline is not a lousy one and you won't have to change it in the future.], explained Nero.
"Hehe! Right? Maybe Heavens still have not abandoned me? Hehe", smiled Stephen feeling pride in his bloodline.
[I won't count on that.], whispered softly Nero.
"Have you said something?", asked Stephen when he heard some mutter.
[No, nothing], replied Nero.
"Right?", Stephen continued to smile from ear to ear.
