Blessings of the Forest

Well I suppose the best thing to learn right now would be to learn the telepathy, and since I already have 10 points I geuss it would be usefull to just get all the basic leveled powers. 'Confirm Purchase'. A strange burning sensation sizzles across my mind, body, and strangly my soul. It burns deeper in my body, almost at my center. After awhile the feeling abides as I feel the powers kick in. The Telepathy seems to be a constant, allowing me to talk/sense any creature in a 10 meter radius. The Soul sense seems to require a little more focus but allows me to detect any creatures in a 100 meter radius as well as gauge there power levels.

The feeling of reaching out and prodding with my soul seems strange yet effective. After a little bit more tom foolery I take a look at the new power I gained from the quest. Blessings of the Forest.

Blessings of the Forest LV MAX:

Creature in the forest will know of your deed to the forest and generally avoid you unless you are seeking a fight.

Your mana regen is increased by X2(Doubles current regeneration.)

You move X2 Speed when in the Forest.

Well that is pretty crazy if you ask me. There seems to be a crazy amount of boosts to my mana as well as my speed, the extra magic types are crazy as well. After some thought I look at the strange new Evolution button, a little more decked out than the previous button, and click it.

This feels far different compared to the previous evolutions. It almost feels like I am choosing a path to walk down. Though Path of bloods effects sound somewhat appetizing it seems I can get it through all the other paths plus from the name of who created it the path seems to be painful. The food path is neat and all but I really don't think I want to walk down the path of a foodie though it does sound interesting. Now the Emotion art really sounds neat but I really don't want to walk down the path of being emotionless again.

Now the last two paths are what are really game. The path of energy is just bonkers good. The stats alone make my mouth water, though the energy route seems a bit strange it sounds like something down my ally, but the last art does intrigue me. The art of Practice, a very simple art from the name, mabey the easiest to train in honestly. It seems like the bonuses are sub par, maybe that is do to the easy training method? The thing that really interests me is the unknown creator as well as the bonus stat. A hidden stat has to be a game breaker right?

After some decision I decide to put in a gamble, I am already pretty strong so it doesn't really matter right now, plus it seems to be a solid teqhnique I think as I slowly choose the path of Practice.

<Congratulations on choosing Hidden Anc-BZZZT PAIN>

wait wh-AAAAT "WHY DOES IT BURN SO BADLY?" blackness overtakes my vision.

I awake to a happy looking ape sitting quitly, his fur seems to have changed to a bright azure colour, much more vibrant than ever before. He grins at me cockily before wagging a finger at me saying loudly "Big Ape has evolved, will you test Big Apes skill?" I accept quickly without worrying about his strength level. A new mentality seems to be imprented into my mind, to get stronger is to train. The Ape takes me outside and slowly makes a howling noise as he starts swirling in a mini tornado conjured by his natural magic. Dang I forgot to check out my hidden stat, I suppose that will have to wait until after this battle.

I activate my lightning boost, waiting a few minutes of meditation to activate another boost of water. A strange black aura takes over my body as shell wispers into my mind something.

{Master a new form of magic is being used, but it only seems to be about at at 66% effective, something seems to be missing.}

After a few more minutes of meditation I cast Wind boost as well, the aura around me clouds up into almost a dark cloud like consistancy. A notification was given to me from the system.

{Congratulations on unlocking Rare magic: Storm Element. User has been given a new title for following the path of your ancestors to such a degree. Ancestors Chosen.}

After seeing the impressive notification I see the large ape become fed up from waiting as he barrels foward launching a giant fist attack. The fist seems to curve through the air at an incredible speed. I feel my body become as light as air as I almost on instinct fly out of the way. The act of flying seems strangly easy right now as I twirl through the air nimbley dodging every single attack made by the Large Ape. After a few seconds I get used to combat in the sky as I quickly start launching pounces on the Apes protective magic shell.

The Bites seem to do quite alot against the tornado shell, my aura seems to almost absorb the energy as if it is nothing. My storm aura seems to easily absorb the essence of wind almost as easily as if it is breathing air. I easily crush through his orb as I bear my fangs at his neck, the Ape quickly raises his hands in defeat as a notification appears from the system.

<Training detected, gauging experience gained.... You have gained 10 EXP from sparring.>

A strange feeling enters me as I realize just how strange this new leveling path will be. I suppose it's main focus would be the experience I gain from training strangly enough. Jad solenmly looks at me and speaks "You are strong little snake" and simply walks to the cave as he enters a metitative stance. I look at my status screen hoping to garnish any information on the new stat.

Well this opens up a new view for me. It seems my luck has increased by I suppose two fold? Well even then it should be noticible if not by a small margin. I look at the newly gained title.

Ancestors Chosen:

This title gives you a bonus when used to all things that you share with your ancestor.

Well though this is strange it seems to be pretty useful. Depending on the other half of my bloodline this ability could be godlike, that is outside the forest of vyin. The title that I currently am using is insane but can only be used in the forest of vyin. The current title is really only worth it when I am not in the forest.

I slowly look over my stats deciding what to distribute my AP points into when a familiar voice echoes through my mind.

"WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO YOU NOISY BRAT" The familiar voice echos as a strange shadow drapes over the light filling the cave.
