It was afternoon when Allen finished skinning the sheep to collect their wool. The boy was sitting in his camp while listening to the calm waves of the lake and the gentle sounds of the beasts around him.

A loud smack echoed throughout the side of the lake after he remembered that he didn't have enough materials to create his thread, and then make fleece out of it. He wanted to take a step back from his plan of creating a cloak, but he had come this far.

It would be a waste to just let things go. With a grunt, Allen grouped all the wool and experimented. This will be his first time to store items in his Inventory feature. He wasn't sure how this wool would fit in his Inventory, or how the Inventory would cut it.

Allen touched the wool and commanded his feature just like what the instructions said, "Store."

The wool lit up with a dark orange color before it was sucked inside Allen's palm. All of the wool that he grouped was sucked inside, leaving nothing behind.

'Chaste Wool x2 stored.'

The boy formed an O with his mouth after realizing that the Inventory would store materials according to the number of beasts it comes from. So if he had to skin three sheep, the count would be three.

He then looked to the side where he left the swan feathers. It was a hassle for him to carry them since the feathers were a lot, so he decided to store them too. Allen placed his hand on the feathers and commanded, "Store."

The swan feathers lit up with the same manner and light as the wool before it too were sucked into his palm.

'Lake Swan Feathers 3x stored.'

He figured that his Inventory feature uses a different spatial magic than the Codes. They have a slight difference when it comes to how the items are stored.

When a weapon-type Code would be stored back, as long as it is in the user's 50-meter range, it will just vanish. If the bearer would wander too far from his activated weapon-type Code, it will automatically be stored.

Allen opened his interface and opened his Inventory. He saw both the wool and the feathers there, each had their thumbnail much like in online games. The wool had a small white circular chunk with a number 2 symbol on the upper right corner, while the feathers had a thumbnail of a single father with a 3 symbol on the upper right corner.

The names of the items were written at the bottom. This name would be the signal to use when Allen wanted to take out an item from his Inventory. His only dilemma now was how he would dictated the amount of the items.

Clearing his throat to practice, Allen commanded, "Out, Chaste Wool, one."

In front of him appeared half of the wool he stored. There was a smile on his face after he saw that the Inventory commands work. For some reason, he was glad that the Snake's Code altered his body. With his previous body, he couldn't utter a single word and it would make his features useless.

Although he only had to summom his dagger once before, he had to open his interface and click on the Code of his dagger. Commanding it out loud just like all the other Hunters were easier.

He looked at the wool and the lake. The lake had a soothing waves on its surface, making Allen narrow his eyes in thought. He looked up to measure the time and saw that it was still bright. "Time to get crafty."

–

'Weapon integrity appoaching zero. The blade quality will be very low.'

Allen ignored the notifications he was hearing. It had been like this since he was skinning the sheep and it wasn't helping him. He was on top of a tree while cutting some branches that he needed to construct a spinning wheel.

"Timber!" Allen yelled as he slashed on one trunk. His blade reached the trunk, but instead of the tree, his blade broke instead.

'Weapon integrity zero. This weapon will not deal any damage.'

Allen groaned after hearing this. He wanted to throw away the dagger but he remembered the joy after he bought it. With another groan, the boy decided to keep his broken weapon, "Store."

He took his hammer out and decided to use it instead. He was disappointed in himself after seeing how this weapon performed. One strike and a tree trunk three times the size of his arm broke without any hesitation.

"I'm so stupid," Allen flattened his lips and continued on his task.

Not long after, the skies turned orange as the bright white sun nestled on the horizon. Allen just finished dragging all the wood back into his camp for his spinning wheel.

He moved the spinning wheel construction, because now he will hunt spiders for his quest. He looked at the wood he gathered and realized that he needed the blade of the dagger. "Why did I use it to cut the branch?"

With a sigh, Allen sat on his camp. He already made the fire, so he wasn't too worried about the nocturnal beasts. He tilted his head to the side and decided to read his quest again. After a lot of thought, he decided to drop the cloak. It needed a blade, which was something he didn't have at the moment.

In his quests tab, Allen saw another quest above the one he was doing. He didn't see this quest before since it was his first time opening the tab after the first quest.

Reward: 1 Skill Point

Task: Collect EXP (0/100)

** This quest will reset every day.

Allen cheered after seeing the reward, Skill Points.

These are the currencies used to enhance the Hunter's stats. Skill Points are gained every five increase in levels starting at Level 15. Ten skill points would be awarded every time the Hunter reaches the five level ups.

Skill Points can also be gained through hunting beasts or exchanged through Skill Altars. The Skill Altars are located right in front of the portals and it requires Codes for Skill Points.

Allen was hyped after seeing this quest. Currently, he don't have a high stats to encounter Rare grade beasts unscathed. If he sees another one, his fate will be 50/50.

[ Stats ]

Health: 100/100

Strength: 7.5 (+20%)

Agility: 5

Endurance: 5

Damage: 20 (+15)

Defense: 5

He realized that he really didn't have much. Strength refers to his raw physical power boosted by the effects of the Stone Hammer. Agility refers to his speed, Endurance refers to how long his body can last.

The damage is how much he can take from his opponent's Health, in which case he currently have 20. The 15 points in damage comes from his weapon.

Meanwhile, his defense refers to the damage of his opponent that he can negate. In his case, he has a Defense of 5. If his enemy has a Damage of 20, only 15 will be deducted in his Health.

Upgrading the right one of the stats is crucial for any Hunter. Mages should invest in their damage, Tanks should invest in their Defense, etc. The right Skill Point priority will make or break any Hunter.

Since Allen's fighting style had changed after his body was altered, he was eyeing on one stat that he will need to get stronger. His eyes gazed on the stat as his lips formed a smirk.

Agility: 5
