‘What should I choose? Camouflage and stealth look the same. Agile looks like Skyward Ascender. Surefooted and climbing also look the same, maybe I’ll be able to climb trees with this, and out of remaining four skill only Grazing skill is unique, it recovers some health and other three resemble each other. I need something that can help me in battle.’
Out of all skills the only skills Yuji picked was Stealth, Stun-butt and Grazing. Even though he wanted but he can only learn one skill. ‘Grazing is out of picture for now. That leaves me with Stealth and Stun butt. Let’s go with stealth'
[ Warning, this skill only works on creatures within five levels of the user. However, situation can be different if the opponent has any countermeasure ]
[ Congratulations, you have learned skill ‘Stealth’ ]

Core: Forming (Essence – 0/1000)
Yuji couldn’t help but become happy noticing the rise on his stats. Why wouldn’t he? After all this is why he was working so hard for. But his happiness turned into sour real fast “System, why the fuck do I needs 1000 essence to form my core? Can’t it be done naturally?”
Unfortunately there was no answer from the system. He tried to guess if it could be done naturally for few moments before dismissing this thoughts. And shift his gaze towards the other options. Seeing everything is fine he closed the stats window with a satisfied smile.
After that he shift his gaze toward the hatchlings on the ground, crying louder than ever, calling their parents.
For a moment, he imagined a scene where a goat stood bravely above a monster bird with a wingspan almost five meters wide.
But he had to drop the thoughts about adopting because there is a problem. As hatchlings they will need extra care and good food that will provide them with enough nourishment.
And most importantly, this hatchlings are almost as big as him. Since he doesn’t have any experience or skill to tame beast, it’s just a matter of time before they will eat him.

"Yuji gazed at the barrage of notifications before him. Since he didn’t know the rules of the rift, he hadn’t expected it to be cleared this fast. Nonetheless, he was happy seeing the bonuses he received. But there’s a problem.
[You have reached the required essence needed for the next level. Do you want to level up right now or transfer the essence needed to form the core?]
"I can do that! System, is it possible to level up and allocate the remaining essence? Fifty percent of essence to level up and the other fifty percent to form the core from now on?"
[ Yes ]
[ Should we proceed with your request?”
After Yuji his order another notification appeared before him.
[ Congratulations you have leveled up ]
* HP +5
* SE +5
* All attributes +1
* AP +1
Seeing the notifications, Yuji checked his stats. As the system had said, his remaining essence after leveling up had been divided and given to forming the core.
"Now let’s leave this place.” Yuji thought to himself after confirming his stats. System said he will be able to leave and just because the boss monster had been defeated didn’t mean there were no other monsters in this rift, and since he could leave now, there was no need to stay.
He shifted his gaze towards the little hatchlings. "Sorry, little guys. Your mother tried to kill me. If I had any other way, I would have chosen it. I can’t leave essence lying on the ground. It's too important to me."
[ Congratulations. You have killed Mistveil crow hatching ] x2
Reward- 20 essence x2
[ Congratulations you have completed achievement- The first kill ]
Reward-
* 1 AP
* 20 essence
“Thanks for your sacrifice. I’ll never forget you two," Yuji said before returning to the portal he used to enter the rift. However, he didn’t leave immediately. Upon his return, he approached the dog monster named Thornback Gnarler.
He recall how Xiaomei had taken a monster core from the bird monster, but it was already destroyed. Then she retrieved another core from the goblin. However, they hadn’t taken any core from the dog monster. There could be two reasons for that: either there is no core in the monster, or the monster itself is too weak for them.
Slowly, he walked closer to the dog monster. But the problem was, he couldn’t tear open the skin of the dog monster because its skin was covered in sharp thorns like fur. But he is not going to waste this opportunity.
Without wasting any time, he bite down on the arrow that killed the dog and started dragging it. Luckily, the dog wasn’t that big and quite light compared to how it looks, this is why it was easy for him to move the dog.
On his way, he glanced at the goblin monster. He never thought a goblin could be this strong. Goblin’s were always shown as weakest of all monsters, living in caves, using short knives, and being lustful creatures. But this one, this motherfucker, was hiding in a tree and using a bow to shoot down a dog monster.
The force behind that arrow was so strong it killed the monster and pinned it to the ground. Unfortunately, he didn't have any arms, or he could have taken the bow to use it.
Finally, he came out of the rift and noticed that it had disappeared. He understood what had happened. They gave closed the portal. At this moment another notification appeared before Yuji.
[ Congratulations you have completed mission – Survive ]
Reward- You have survived, what could be more than that?
