Chapter 2 - First Kill

A.I POV

I brought up my skills screen and focused on the technique that the Orb of Rebirth gave me.

Way to cultivate

Level 0

Sit down in a lotus position and close your eyes.

Clear your mind of all the thoughts.

Deeply Breath in and out.

I did as instructed. I sat down cross-legged in a lotus position and deeply breathed in and out. After a few moments I sensed dust in the surroundings. I opened my eyes to see what it was but the air around me was devoid of a dust particles and it looked clean. I closed my eyes again and felt the same feeling. I continued breathing in deeply and out. After some time I managed, I felt like I could differentiate the dust particles. After meditating for an hour I stopped. I looked at the screen again and something new was written on it.

Sit down in a lotus position and close your eyes.

Clear your mind of all the thoughts.

Deeply Breath in and out.

The dust particles that you have sensed are actually energies present in the air around you. Everything in this world is considered as energy.

Continue doing this and eventually you will be able to sense its color as well as the aura it is emanating.

“I see so as I progress, new information will start appearing” (A.I)

I continued doing it for another 4 hours because I calculated that it would be enough to do it. After 4 hours, I felt full of energy and very refreshed. I stood up and started walking throughout the forest.

After walking for 10 minutes, I came across a creature. This creature look like a deer but it had a single horn coming out of its head. It was eating the grass peacefully so I left it as it was.

“I know that I will be able to get stronger by killing monsters but I will not kill peaceful animals such as this deer unless it is necessary” (Me)

I continued walking for a few more minutes when I sensed that something was watching me. I turned around to look and looked at the direction where I had sensed the gaze from. When I looked at the direction from which I had sensed the gaze from, all I could see was a bush.

“That is weird. I had felt I sensed something was looking at me from where the bush is but there isn’t anyone there” (A.I)

I kept looking at the bush. Suddenly I felt a cold feeling run down my spine.

“What is this strange feeling? I don’t have a cold or anything then why did I feel a cold feeling?” (A.I)

*Whoosh*

Just as I was thinking about the strange cold feeling, the bushes moved and something brown jumped out of it. I jumped to the left to dodge what flew out of the bush. The brown object had almost hit me if I hadn’t been a bit faster. I looked at what the brown object was and was surprised to find out that it was a wolf but it had a scaled body. The Scaled Wolf growled frustratingly as it found out that it had missed his target. As I was looking at the Scaled Wolf, a blue colored screen was hovering in the air above it.

Name ==== Race Scale Wolf Level 5 Attribute Wind Health 650/650 Energy 20 Attack 50 Defense 30 Weakness Fire State Angry Skills

Howl

Claw Strike

Far Sight

Wind Claw Slash

Wind Ball

It was a level 5 animal or a more appropriate term for the creature a monster. It bared its teeth and glared at me. His gaze looked like he was enraged because someone who was much weaker than it dodged its attack and I also glared back at him.

We continued our stare game for a few moments and after a while the Scaled Wolf got impatient and ran towards me. When he was just a few steps away from me, he jumped at me while slashing his claw. His Claw was glowing with a faint white light.

-You have been hit. [Health (-20)]

I jumped to the side in an attempt to dodge it but its attack managed to graze my arm and sliced a big chunk of meat. I was standing in front of a tree so when I dodged its attack, it hit the tree that as behind me. The Scaled Wolf’s claws easily managed to pierce the tree. His claws got stuck inside the tree and at that moment I sprang into action.

I ran towards the stuck scaled wolf Scaled Wolf. I closed both of my fists with my index and middle finger out. I reached it before it managed to free himself and stab his eyes with my fingers.

You dealt critical damage [Health (-60)]

Scaled Wolf has been blinded and it has gone into frenzy

The Scaled Wolf is Bleeding [Health (-10/s)]

My fingers lodged into its eyes without difficulty and I managed to blind him and weaken him by a huge margin. I gained a big advantage against my opponent by blinding him and now I could easily strike it. The Wolf had gone berserk and it was shaking its head in pain. It managed to free itself from being stuck and swung its arms left and right. Its claws glowed with light green color and when it swung its arm then, a very sharp and strong gust of wind came from it.

-You have been hit. [Health (-45)]

The gust of wind was very fast and I didn’t manage to dodge it in time. The gust of wind hit me and I received damage. My heath was now 35/100. The Wolf managed to shave off 65% of my health with just 2 hits.

You dealt normal damage [Health (-5)]

I resorted to hit and run tactic which was famous in games which I didn’t know why before but now I did. After 20 minutes, the Scaled wolf with 650 health Stat Points finally died.

I managed to level up 5 times and obtain 50 Skill Stat Points, 50 Stat Stat Points, 50 Firmament Energy as well as 3 skills. Just be killing a monster 5 levels higher than me earned me 5 levels and that is with all the restrictions placed on me due to my race. Dodge and Sense skill were pretty useful and poke would be too if I use my hands but I have to look for a weapon. My health was very low so I had to increase it. I had total of 30 Skill and Stat Points at the moment. I focused on the Strength Stat on my stat screen and another screen popped up. It showed what all the attributes are and what it increases

Strength: Strength controls the maximum weight you can carry, melee attack and damage. Armor and weapons might also have a Strength requirement.

I managed to kill a level 5 Scaled Wolf and reaped many benefits. I had a lot of Stat Points which I could distribute to each of my stats. All of my stats have already been increased by 50 due to my title. For now I need more strength, speed and defense as well as stamina. I had 60 points at the moment so I distributed 10 Stat Points to strength, agility and vitality. That left me with 30 Stat points so I distributed 3 points to each of the remaining stats.
