Brilliant Light

"Is this skill called Brilliant Light?"

Parr unfolded the thin white paper. Due to his Bright Eyes talent, the contents could be clearly seen. The first thing that came into Parr's eyes were the words 'Brilliant Light', written in the language of the Wind Wolf Kingdom.

It was described as the most basic and fundamental skill of the Church of Neutral Light. Every member of the Church has to learn it, no matter their profession.

"Let me see what's written below."

Parr looked down and saw a line of small words. "A gift for Edith from Bolen during the Harvest Festival."

"This..."

Parr was stunned for a moment, but then he realized it. Combined with the contents of the diary and the handwriting of the small words, Bolen was obviously the Knight who died in battle! Parr did not expect to find out his name on the piece of paper.

"What a surprise! Unfortunately, Edith would never get to receive this gift from Bolen himself."

Paar shook his head and sighed. He continued to read. What came into his sight were neat words. Like the words in the diary, they were written by Bolen himself. Bolen must have a talent of his own since he could write such elegant words.

Bolen's words were written all over the white paper, describing how to cultivate Brilliant Light.

"..."

Parr held the white paper and read it for a long time. Finally, he came to two conclusions. First, only a person with a righteous heart could cultivate Brilliant Light. Secondly, Brilliant Light was an inherited skill. The person who learned it would need the help of a Knight from the Church to activate the skill. 

"In other words, cultists can't learn this skill. Those who the Knights do not recognize can't learn this skill either!"

Parr closed the thin white paper and rubbed his sore eyes. Then, he looked at the notification on the data panel and smiled proudly.

"Hehehe, it's a good thing I have my system! I can use my Spiritual Energy Points to learn this skill."

"Beep, it has been detected that the skill can be learned. Do you want to spend 10 Spiritual Energy Points to learn it?"

"Yes!"

This time, Parr did not hesitate. If he needed to use his Life Energy Points, he might be conflicted. However, using his Spiritual Energy Points was not a problem at all!

"Beep, 10 Spiritual Energy Points have been used up. Skill successfully learned."

As the second notification appeared on the data panel, Parr felt something had appeared in his mind. It was vague and unclear.

"This is a magical feeling."

Parr could not wait to look at his data panel, shaking his head.

Life Energy Points: 40

Spiritual Energy Points: 116

"Shock and burn evil creatures? Would that include zombies?"

Looking at the description of the skill, Parr fell into deep thought. However, due to the lack of information, he could not think of a correct answer, for the time being, so he simply stopped thinking and focused his attention back on the data panel. He realized that Brilliant Light could be upgraded further.

"Beep, do you want to use 10 Life Energy Points to level up Brilliant Light to LVL 2?"

"What?! I used Spiritual Energy Points to learn it previously, but now I need to use Life Energy Points to level it up further? This skill is really strange. I can't level it up for now. I'm in desperate need of my Life Energy Points currently."

Shaking his head, Parr closed the data panel and looked back at John, sleeping soundly. Then, he turned around and put the thin white paper back into the diary. He placed the diary back into the small package containing Bolen's relics. Finally, he got up and walked behind a big tree, and started to pee.

Parr, of course, was not just peeing. He wanted to experiment with the new skill he had learned.

"Brilliant Light!"

Parr's Stamina value instantly decreased by a little. The skill on the data panel started to flash. This meant that Parr was using this skill.

What was the effect after using the skill?

"Tonight, I peed while using my body as a source of light!"

…

Just like the description of the skill said, when using the skill, the user would produce a white light on the surface of their body. It was a vague description. Parr didn't understand what the white light meant until he used the skill.

"So I've become a giant light bulb! And an energy-saving light bulb at that."

Parr shook, lifted his pants, and raised his arm to take a look. A layer of gentle white light appeared on his arm. It was not dazzling but felt very warm.

This state did not last long. In just five seconds, the white light on Parr's body disappeared because he had turned off this skill.

"It's impossible to be a light bulb at all times, even if I'm an energy-saving light bulb."

After experimenting with the skill, Parr dispelled the curiosity in his heart. The fatigue of the day surged up, so he did not do anything else. He returned to the side of the fire, wrapped himself in a blanket, and listened to John's snoring as he fell asleep. Before he fell asleep himself, he muttered,

"My Life Energy Points is still too small of an amount. I haven't received any in the past few days. Tomorrow, I must catch the rabbit and use its blood to boost up my Life Energy Points."

…

Darkness. It was so dark that one could not see their own fingers. Parr once again has such an inexplicable dream. Just like the last time, when the sound of flowing water rang in his ears, Parr took a step forward. He walked to the unknown.

After some time, a ray of light appeared in front of him again. It was very far away, but it was at the end of his path. Parr quickened his steps, and the light grew brighter until it covered his entire field of vision.

"Is it an eye?"

Parr walked out of the darkness and into the light. He saw a green eye that was even bigger than him. And then…

"Phew..."

At dawn, the sweating Parr once again woke up from his dream. He panted heavily, and his eyes revealed fear. He lowered his head and pondered, but it was still the same as before. He couldn't remember what he saw in the end, other than an eye— an enormous eye with green pupils.

"What's wrong, little boy. Did you have a nightmare?"

At this time, the sky was slightly bright. John had already stood up and was practicing with his sword. When he heard movement sounds, he turned around and saw Parr's condition. He was surprised. Thus he drew his sword and walked over.

"I had a nightmare. But I can't remember what nightmare I had." Parr came back to his senses and stopped thinking. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and crawled out from under the blanket to stretch his body.

Then, John used the sheath of his sword to pick up Parr's blanket. As he waved the sword in his hand, he looked left and right.

John's action aroused Parr's curiosity. He could not help but ask, "Uncle John, what are you doing?"

"I'm checking to see if you had wet the bed because of the nightmare!" John answered.

"You're the one who wet your bed. Your whole family wet the bed!" Parr was driven mad and speechless. He was tired of John treating him like a toddler.

Parr narrowed his eyes as he thought of something. Then, he asked in a seemingly innocent manner, "Uncle John, did you truly wet your bet because of a nightmare before?"

"Uh..."

John's movements froze. Then, he put down the blanket and walked away with his hands behind his back.

"Little boy, since you're awake, let's Go! Today, we must make up for the part of the road we missed yesterday!"

…

"D*mn rabbit! Give me your life!"

At noon, John and Parr, who had been traveling in the forest for half a day, stopped. Then, without eating, Parr threw down his package and rushed into the grass to look for the rabbit. As expected, there were plenty of them. The deeper they went into the forest, the more there were.

Parr narrowed his eyes and scanned the area. He found several gray antennas in the dense green grass. The rabbit's ears were very easy to recognize.

What else was there to say? Parr walked to the nearest rabbit. He did not carefully cover up his movement this time because he had finally understood. Even if the rabbit heard movement sounds, as long as one does not reveal his intention and action to catch it, the rabbit would not run away. It will remain extremely calm.

Taking a few big steps, Parr approached the rabbit and then made another fake pounce.

"Hey!"

The rabbit was indeed fooled. It used its hind legs and jumped diagonally to the left. Parr hurriedly reached out to catch it and was successful!

"Eh? Why is this one so easy to catch?"

To Parr's surprise, this rabbit did not have as many tricks as the rabbit from yesterday. It was dazed after realizing that it had been caught.

"Is this rabbit stupid?"

Holding the long ears of the rabbit, Parr carefully looked at it.

"It doesn't look stupid! At least it knows how to struggle. Forget it. As long as I catch it, I can finally take revenge! Hehehe, stupid rabbit."

Parr no longer thought about it. He laughed happily as he pulled out the black sword hanging from his waist and made a cut on the rabbit's neck. Then, without waiting for the rabbit to struggle violently, he quickly stabbed the tip of the sword between its long ears. The ears were the fatal point of the rabbit. In an instant, the rabbit stopped struggling.

Parr lowered his head to look at the blade of the sword. No dots appeared. It seemed that the energy of a rabbit was not enough, so there was no hint of Life Energy Points.

"So be it! At least I can finally eat rabbit meat!"

Parr carried the dead rabbit to John, putting the sword back into its sheath. Then, he lifted it with a smug look.

"It's not that difficult to catch a rabbit!"

"Oh?"

John carefully looked at the rabbit in Parr's hand, then, he smiled and shook his head, saying, "Little boy, the rabbit you caught is too small. This one probably just came out of its nest. It doesn't have much experience, so you easily catch it. If it were the old rabbit from yesterday, you definitely wouldn't have caught it."

"Hmph!"

Parr only snorted lightly and no longer paid attention to John. He walked to the side and squatted on the ground to deal with the rabbit. His technique was extremely skilled.

Parr was the last disciple of the Haystack Village's butcher, Rotes. Killing chickens and sheep was his specialty, so dealing with a rabbit was no problem. However, he only dealt with rabbits captured by the Haystack Village hunting team in the past. This was the first time he dealt with a rabbit caught by himself. It was also the first time for the transmigrator who had taken over Parr's body. Fortunately, his memories were still present, so the process was very smooth.

After dealing with the rabbit, Parr was about to find firewood to start a fire. However, when he turned around, he saw that John had already done so.

"Little boy, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and roast the rabbit meat!"

John shouted with a big stick in his hand. It seemed that he would eat lunch without putting in a single effort today.
