Waking up Daimon ordered breakfast from the store names as a flamed Dorma sandwich, although slightly gamey it still reaffirmed his decision to get the cooking profession skill. He had for once slept peacefully, the violence had been getting to him, before this point he had never harmed another being before and the only thing that helped him through was the fact that it was killed or be killed. The system bombshell of four other races had been playing on his mind, will he have to kill other sentient beings? Could he kill others? These questions had plagued his dreams recently and finally, he decided to take things in stride and deal with the problems as they arise. Speaking of problems he hadn't checked his stats in a while. Hoping that his work had paid off he brought up his status page.

His status was a mess so much information assailed his senses at the same time giving him a headache. Additions seemingly took place everywhere and his intelligence stat hadn't magically given him a photographic memory yet,

"What was my strength stat the last time I looked?" He couldn't remember a lot of the previous information, thankfully as if sensing his plight he noticed that the gains and changes had appeared and were broken down below the table into more readable information.

> Changes

Level ups + 6

Stat gains Strength + 3, Agility + 7, Constitution + 3, Willpower +7, Luck + 1, Intelligence + 4.

Core level up +2

Skill gains Stealth + 1, Dodge + 3, Inspect + 2, Archery masters + 4, Weapon mastery +1, Eagle eyes +3, Meditation +1, Mana arrow +3, Imbue Mana arrow + 3, Sensory eyes, + 2, Mana Manipulation + 2.

+3 to one skill Available

Headache abated, he focused on the information and was extremely please by what he saw, his gains had been great, six Level ups were huge netting him multiple stat points which he still refused to use until he hit whatever limit Albert had mentioned. His brow furrowed, the stat gains had slowed down considerably, they still showed a decent increase which made him proud of the work he had accomplished, however, it wasn't enough, he had gained a lot more stats while training back in the cave, Albert had warned him however he didn't think it would slow this much this soon. What also worried him was that his physical stats had fallen behind by a large margin, considering how much he had used the compound bow to attack enemies recently gave the information some merit however and it was time he rectified the glaring flaw in his build. What would happen if he faced an enemy his bow couldn't takedown.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

The next part confused him skills like Mana arrow and Dodge he understood, but why did eagle eyes and Inspect leveled up? He didn't remember using those at all?. Asking Albert mentally he was informed that by using Sensory eyes the other two skills were in use passively which earned them some experience to the next level, Stacking certain skills on a specific body part interfered with others, however, there were ways to rectify the problem, which Albert apparently couldn't inform him on.

And finally, his core had leveled up, looking inwards and channeling mana out of it he found that he couldn't detect any internal, changing. Focusing on the skill a notification appeared.

Core Level - As your core levels small minute changes happen you your body, mind, and soul this is a catalyst for evolution follow the path wisely.

So this was his first hint towards breaking his body limits, an evolution, which made sense considering how strong the Alpha Kamori had been when it leveled up, thinking back to the territory war he wondered how many times the Earth wyrm had evolved, it was super strong.

Looking at the last gain a +3 to any skill, he decided to go outside and ask Albert before making any hasty decisions. Walking outside he spotted Albert floating high in the air watching the territory beasts patrolled the land, guarding him against attack.

> "Ah, Daimon welcome" Albert Said gleefully while you were sleeping your beast slew, 10 creatures, without major injury thankfully you forgot about the loot bot as it has added the spoils to our growing hoard of treasure."

"Forget about that for now Albert" How do I upgrade my core? And why don't I feel any different after gaining an upgrade?

> "Ah so it finally happened now I can speak about it, yes your core is vital as it effects your evolution with will increase your max stat gained through training and a range of other things. You dont feal any changes as it doesnt effect your skills just your body, mind and spirit otherwise known as stats the changes currently are miniscule you are stronge faster and smarter bud the normal stats you have gained has covered the increase up per say. your core levels with your actions leveling a skill, gaining a stat, titles and other things increases the level of your core.

"Ok thanks, I guess, wish you had told me sooner" replied Daimon.

> "I wish I could have, however the system still limits me somewhat to the information I can give."

"It's fine I understand" Replied Damion. "So I need to somehow focus on my core good to know. What next let's see I can upgrade a skill 3 times what should I choose?"

> "Mana maniplulation" Shouted Albert. "Its one of the hardest skills to upgrade and the most benificial in the long run".

"Ok let's go with that then"

Mana Manipulation +3

Rare Mana Manipulation - level 9: 25% boost to maximum mana. Beginner

Your skill Mana Manipulation has reach level 10 Advancement to the next rank commencing. Two branching paths detected.....

Rare- Mana Manipulation - advanced.... +40% max mana

Epic - mana manipulation meld..... 30% Max Mana able to combine Laws together... Awarded for being the first in the universe to advance mana Manipulation

His choice was simple an extremely limited skill which was awarded for being the first in the universe or a basic upgrade. Selecting Mana Manipulation Meld, his core instantly compacted the mana inside becoming denser and leaving room for much more to be added. Thankfully the pain only lasted for a minute before abating.

Congratulations... First to advance mana manipulation

Title Gained Mana lord..... increase mana control by 25%.

New skill gained Epic - Mana Manipulation Meld level 3 + 40% Max Mana + combine two laws.

The new title was amazing Mana control was extremely hard, the more mana you could control however the more you could accomplish.

He was however sad, no new first notifications were given which meant that he wasn't the first to gain an epic skill like he normally was. Someone had gotten an advanced skill before him, not just in the universe but on the planet as well.

"It seems I have to step my game up, a lead can only last if I put in the work". Said Daimon.

All he had left to do was choose his last reward the hidden stat choice, remembering how beneficial Intelligence had been he was looking forward to this reward.

You may choose one of the following

Dexterity, Vitality, Charisma, Perception, Resolve, Resistance.

No further information will be given choose wisely.

Taking his time Daimon worked his way through the options, they all seemed good however he had already chosen his path and that was to lead and charisma would help with that.

Hidden stat gained Charisma +5

Quest obtained - Gain all hidden stats current 2/8 Gained Rewards Variable.

Well, the new quest was a surprise and would most likely take a long time to achieve.

"Well Albert that's all my rewards except the Pet role used is it time to use it yet?"

> "Not yet, you will be ready to use it when you Gain an army to protect it for now focus on your command skill, try and gain see melee prowless right now your what is being described as a glass cannon".

"Whats a glass cannon" he questioned,

> "A glass cannon is where you have put all of your focus on ranged and mell abilitys while neglecting your physical stats. Wait don't interupt!. Yes your stats are pretty high for your level however your skills don't match, what happens when you come face to face with a beast your arrows can't hit and your magic is infective? Stats won't save you if you can't damage the target."

"Ok I see your point, well lets loot the loot bot and get on with conquering the entire mountain range" he replied gleefully.

> Alberts disturbing giggle followed and Daimon was sure he heard the word domination thrown around in their aswell.

Walking over to the loot bot he selected the gather option.

A pile of loot shot into the Air hundreds of coins, items, and a few scrolls.

> "Should have warned you that would happen, giggled Albert"

It took Daimon 20 minutes to gather all the loot into the spatial pounch. in total, he had gained,

4 Planetary Coins, 1 Level 4 Core, Sword of shadows - Rare, Territory building blueprint Stables - Rare, Scroll of earthen barrier permanent x4 - Uncommon, Pasque flowers x 400, Earth Wyrm chest plate of Regeneration - epic.

The two pieces of gear were even more amazing.

Name: Rank Requirements Description Abilities Sword Of Shadows Rare Met A sword wreathed in shadows Almost undetectable to the naked eye.

Shadow attuned.

Shadow Blade.

+5 Strength

+5 Agility

Earth Wyrm chest plate of regeneration. Epic Met A chest plate chiseled from the Armoured carapace of A Earth wyrm.

Regenerative caraplace

+14 constitution

Health regen +10%

This would make physical training much easier he thought while grinning. Immediately equipping both items he felt the power push through his body enhancing every aspect of his physical abilities.

The changes, however, didn't affect his appearance like stats did, in a way he simply felt more powerful it was a nice feeling, the gear boosted his stats to a much more balanced level and it felt what he could only describe as nice. Thinking about the changes forced him to think about how the stats had changed him. In comparison to his old self, the physical changes were huge, his body had become slimmer however it now packed a huge amount of power in his toned muscles. His bones felt tougher, he healed at a ridiculous pace and had strength much greater than the strongest man who had ever lived on earth. Unfortunately, he couldn't test how strong he had became, the changes to the environment had made everything stronger and harder to destroy which gave testament to how heavy the Earth Wyrm had been to leave a crater in the ground.

Forgetting that Albert was still here, he was harshly reminded when a giggle permeated the air.

> "Your shaping up nicely Daimon" Albert said in between wolf wistles.

"I feel almost balanced". Replied Daimon ignoring the jabs.

> "Balance exists for a reason you know replied Albert for someone with stat boosts like you it will give you alot more room to work with."

Daimon felt like this was a hint one he noted for the future.

"So, Albert, I gained a few scrolls one called Territory building blueprint Stables, And four scrolls of earthen barrier."

> "Oh Oh quick give me permission to use them"

"You sure?" questioned Daimon.

> "Yes trust me" Snorted Albert.

Diamon granted Albert permission to use the scrolls, as he watched them active A stable popped up into existence roughly 20 meters away from his house next a 100x100 meter box of Earth appeared around the area with a gap on one end for access it was a massive wall 15 meters high and it looked extremely sturdy.

> "And that brought your total Unit gains per day to 200 benifits of a Rare building and strong defences"

"Thanks, Albert good job while we're at it can you build another Storm Kamori wind tunnel.

With the tunnel made another 2 Storm Kamori Beta and 3 regular Kamori popped out bringing his total to 4 beta Kamori and 6 regular Kamori. It was now time to select his war party.

War party

8/8

Daimon Santos level 18, Burmese python level 21

Storm Kamori Beta level 10 - x4, Storm Kamori level 8 - x2.

> "Why don't you register your party in the stable first Daimon, don't look at me all confused go to the new building."

Walking to the building a notification appeared,

Would you like to register your war party in the stables?

yes/no

Clicking yes he was met with another message

Beastial members in the party can now gain experience and level up if they return safely.

"Damn that's awesome" Exclaimed Daimon.

> "Yes it is, now go get me more territorys" Shouted Albert.

With that Daimon and his war party exited through the gap in the wall heading to the next territory while the remaining kamori guarded the entrance.
