My stats really were something, but if I am going to be living in this world I am going to need to understand how they work. The names of the stats obviously have something to do with them, but I suspect other things included. When I level up, I'm going to have to see how it changes.
Since I don't have parents, and it looks like Silvia is 'out of power' for now, I'm on my own.
I'll have to be careful with what is out there, but I'll have to start soon. It would be pitiful to die of hunger or thirst. With that methodology, I began walking towards the trees. Once I crossed the barrier protecting me, I'll be fair game.
Just as I was about to cross the barrier I realized something. I don't know how to fight. I am obviously a mage of some sort, but that doesn't change the fact that I can't fight.
I waddled back to the center of the area, and began to come up with a plan. Not even a minute into thinking and I decided that I would try and create magic with my imagination. I would start off with simple things like flames and rain, then move onto more difficult things.
With a bit of motivation to hurry things up, I began to imagine a flame floating in the sky. I didn't have to close my eyes, but I just tried to gather mana into that spot and cast the magic. The mana condensed and condensed until I got a notification.
An error occurred. This element does not comply with yours.
With that, I became dumbfounded. That means that I can only cast spells that are within my jurisdiction. My aptitude being life. That honestly makes sense since you don't see deep sea fish commonly swimming near the top of an ocean, but it's disappointing.
I don't exactly know what 'Life' magic is, but I would have to guess that it is the green essence floating around. I am not entirely sure what it does, but this is a perfect time for me to try it out.
With that said, or thought, I began to imagine a tree in front of me. I then tried to use the green essence to form it, and it worked. The light shone, and a tree was made.
God Skill Learned - Create Plant: Creates a plant according to the will of the user. Plant's size and strength depends on the amount of essence of life used.
I was very confused as to what "Essence of Life" was, but when I checked my mana it seemed to have consumed 300 or so from that tree which was odd considering I didn't use mana. The ranking being 'God' tier made me very happy, but I settled down and became a bit more serious. I would talk to Silvia about this later.
It would need further testing, but it seems that this "Essence of Life" is similar to mana. I'll have to ask Silvia about it at a later time. I now wanted to test myself a bit and try something that wasn't directly plant based. Water magic. My affinity was Life magic, but water creates life.
I might be able to use it. So, I imagined a raincloud gathering and I tried to use the Essence of Life, but it seems that it didn't work. Thus, I used mana.
Beginner Skill Learned - Create Rain: Creates a raincloud that changes size depending on the amount of mana used.
A mini cloud was formed and some raindrops fell out of it. Another mana based skill, huh? I have a feeling that I am going to have to learn how much mana to use in the near future since I have a strong feeling that most spells are like this.
It seems that my guess was correct in assuming that I can use elements similar to nature. I am starting to think that 'Life Magic' is a category that contains any and all magic pertaining to life. This includes Nature, Earth, and Water. Most likely a few more, but that is not for now. I'll ask Silvia in due time.
I tried to create a raincloud that was around my size in front of me, and I managed to put in just the right amount of mana. This was off to a good start. Now that the cloud was drizzling, I began to try and dissipate it. I was basically learning how to cancel a spell.
It was much harder than creating it. It took me a few minutes, but I figured out that I had to absorb the mana out of the spell completely. I got that mana back almost instantly. Now that I knew that I could cancel spells, I felt a lot more calm. If I do something I can just reverse it.
With that said, I became reckless and used Life magic to create roots that I could control by will. I imagine roots by my sides and inputted a decent amount of 'mana' into them. (By 'mana', it is referring to life essence, but it ends up taking his mana anyways)
Intermediate Skill Learned - Root Whip: Creates a whip-like root that adjusts to the amount of mana used.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
On each of my sides, roots the size of trees were created. I put in around 1k mana to each, so they were very large and thick. They would most likely be the same as a whip if someone else made them. Mine looked like tree sized whips though.
I tried to think of them moving in certain directions while controlling the mana of each, and I somehow managed to do it. It's stressful to manage two at the same time, so I will probably stick to one in the future. I canceled the left one and kept the right.
It became much easier to move since I could concentrate on it solely. It was much better than a finger if you compared them one on one. I'm sure that 5 of them wrapped together would pass fingers by leaps and bounds. Too bad I'm a bird.
Satisfied with my discoveries, and a hunger approaching me I decided to head out. I walked towards the barrier once more, and with a deep breath I stepped out. I felt like going through a thin layer of mist, but it wasn't cold or wet.
I looked around to see if anything changed, but it was still the same. I walked forwards and kept an eye out for anything unusual. I was still young so I sort of wobbled while I walked. With my speed and strength, if anything serious came up I could still probably escape.
I walked through the forest for a while without hearing much, and just when I began to feel depressed I found a lizard. It was small and red with two rotating eyes. On top of its back were some sharp blades. It was similar to a chameleon, but deadlier. It looked at me and I looked back.
There was a brief stare off before I casted Root Whip to my right and put in a thousand points. The chameleon began to get its tongue ready, but before it could get half way there I had swung at it with the root. It was killed instantly. I felt bad for it, but it is survival of the fittest.
Beast Slain: Blazing Razorback Chameleon Variant (D-)
huh.. So it was a fire type chameleon ranked D? I'm not sure what the rankings are but if it's anything like my old world than it is probably F,E,D,C,B,A,S or something along those lines.
Level Up
Along with that, I got a level. I'm going to save those points for a time when I need them. I would rather not just throw them around. The number of points I got for that one level was 10. I also obtained a general increase in stats.

I was a lot more confident in myself. I was a level 1 (now 2) and I could easily take on a D- rank beast. I could probably take on a C+ rank beast and make it out damaged, but make it out. However I'd rather not jump in there without some more understanding of this world.
For now, I will move further into the forest and continue to level up a bit. Hopefully when I evolve from the Juvenile variant I will be able to fly. It will be much more convenient.
