You really are the finest little bug I’ve ever known

I dare say, you could take on a dragon on your own

Well, perhaps a wyvern or two, but in time you’ll grow

There sure are a lot of portals opening now though

Sting flew through the sky avoiding monsters left and right

Some of them were weak but there were none he’d like to fight

Most of them ignored him, but because he was so small

He knew he’d wind up someone’s snack if he slowed down at all

Achievement: New Skills

You should have no problem using skills now by the way

Just like any mortal, you can train them every day

Some titles and classes will make them more powerful

But whatever class you are, I think you’re wonderful

Sting had noticed something different about his new mind

Some unknown ability or power of some kind

And when he tried to use a ‘skill’ just to see what it means

He was suddenly aware of several status screens

A flying portal monster that can shock its chosen prey

Descending like a bolt of lightning any time of day

They are known to prey on creatures fifty times their size

You should find shelter if you notice you’ve caught its eyes

From beyond that blue screen came a sound that deafened Sting

A lightning bolt the shape of a bird was fast approaching

He didn’t have time to evade his Portal Monster friend

So his only option was to struggle and defend

He realized he didn’t have the time to spin around

Judging by the speed of the monster that made that sound

But now he somehow knew of an attack he’d never used

Even as he cast the spell himself, he was confused

In front of Sting appeared a shining ball of raw mana

Which morphed and transformed quickly into Sting’s first idea

A stinger just like he had took shape before his own eyes

Then it flew toward the hawk which recoiled in surprise

The projectile stinger he’d made with magic quickly flew

He hoped it would reach his foe and his aim was straight and true

The stinger pierced the Lightning Hawk while Sting flew to the side

His enemy let out a cry and very quickly died

I’d almost forgotten you can absorb mana too!

There’s a lot of Heroes who would be jealous of you

Even without my help, you could become much stronger

Though if not for my blessings, it would take much longer

Sting could feel his mana increase ever so slightly

As he’d experienced many times, but differently

Now he clearly felt the level added to his speed

And it was an exhilarating feeling indeed

He put his newly increased speed to work without delay

But before long another monster tried to block his way

He tried to go around but it hungrily chased Sting

This time it was easy to guess what it was thinking

This Wyvern was born somewhere affected by chaos

Such mana is not gained without suffering great loss

This one seems to have suffered in order to survive

Enduring a birth place where chaos and destruction thrive

The wyvern targeted Sting with its fiery attacks

The small bug didn’t have a single moment to relax

But Sting felt confident that there was something he could do

He searched himself for one more skill and right away he knew

He channelled mana to his little wings and flapped them quick

Creating a gale while the flames continued to lick

The wyvern’s fire no longer posed a threat to Sting at all

And as the wind reached the wyvern it soon began to fall

Unable to move through the air which flowed as Sting now willed

The wyvern roared at the bug which he should have quickly killed

But as it flailed and coughed up flames, Sting didn’t wait around

Sting attacked and it was dead before it hit the ground

Achievement: Natural Talent

Using only mana to pierce a strong wyvern’s hide

Your natural talent has left this old god mystified

I overheard some gods talking about the world ending

But I think that you’ll be fine, the way you’re ascending
