Traveling down the road for many days there is no town in sight.

Taking a few short breaks during the time to write down what I have seen over the course of my travels.

Staring at the ball of light blue mana in my hand. I learnt from a book that I purchased from a traveling merchant when the book called 'The Breath of Life' caught my attention.

A book about the basic knowledge of mana.

The breath of life is produced by those that are living in this world. Unlike the human world, here mana is abundant but then again we are in a gate meaning that mana originated from here and bled into the human world.

A user can either use their own mana or harness the mana around them.

My skills that the system provided for me through runestones only requires me to use my own mana but finding out that I am capable of harnessing and manipulating the mana around me is a new discovery for me.

I find it very strange when I practice harnessing mana around me. It states that it feels like cool water running through your veins. I did have the similar sensation but the more I use it, that sensation slowly turns into an icy cold feeling and the dark thoughts spread in my mind. It makes me like I am not myself at all and with that kind of strong emotional feeling, every part of me tells me not to use it unless I have to.

The question is when would I need to use it?

Hiding behind the trees.

Peaking out to see a group of goblins sitting around their campsite.

There are many cages with wild magic beasts.

Most are wounded but the larger cage catches my attention.

People here talk about poachers that hunt wild magic beasts and sell them on the black market just like in the human world where there are some creatures that are not supposed to be hunted down for whatever means because they are endangered.

When any of the creatures makes a sound, they would hit the cages and tells them to keep quiet.

I mean I am no greenpeace person nor am I an extremist in any sense. I do hunt back in the days but I hunt for survival.

Guessing it is killing spree time.

Releasing the others back into the wild after healing them.

The last one is the larger cage.

It is staring at me with a hostile gaze and a low snarl.

"Look, I'll heal you and you can leave..."

It examines its body after healing it with 'Dark Healing'.

Opening the gate for it.

The beast bolts towards its freedom.

I proceed to loot the campsite.

There are a few pouches filled with some gold, silver and copper coins which are useful to me.

Ready to head back, I sense someone is watching me.

Looking over my shoulders to see the same magic beast that I have healed and released peering through the tree lines watching me with a curious gaze.

It walks up to me and stares me down.

Not sure what to make out of this, "Look, I have healed you and you free. Whatesle do you want?"

It just stares at me and I just give up trying to figure out what it wants from me.

It is not attacking me nor is it responding to my words so I just walk away and head back.
