Ten days passed quickly, with me going deep into the forest daily, but I haven't had luck finding many monsters.

In the ten days, we stayed near the forest, I only fought a total of 56 Magic Beasts.

It could be because I never go deeper into the forest where Veldora's magicules are the strongest, and that's why I don't find many of them, but getting too close wouldn't end well for me.


This isn't the Tsundere otaku dragon yet, so getting too close would be like begging to be killed. I mentally coughed while thinking of myself from a different timeline.

But if I wanted to get strong, I needed to find more high-ranking opponents, and that's how after hours of trying to avoid it, I decided to go deeper

If I weren't walking closer to a walking calamity, I would make a joke about that.

About twenty minutes later, I sensed multiple strong magical signatures to my right.

My sword ready, I went in that direction, and as I got close, I saw six black serpents.

I heard a loud hiss as the massive serpents lunged toward me. I quickly raised my sword and felt the creature's tooth brake as it tried to bite it. I pushed back against the serpent's weight and drove my sword into its body, striking the fatal blow.

More snakes were closing in, their eyes glowing in the dim light. I pivoted on my feet, dodging their strikes and slashing back with my sword. The battle continued until the last of the snakes finally lay motionless on the ground.

[1,800EXP for killing 6x(Black Serpent)]

[Magicules increased by 1,800]

[You leveled up]

[All attributes increased by one.]

Nice, another level, but what I'm most excited about.

I looked at the dead serpents around me with a smirk, "Arise."

The serpents became shadows and bowed their heads to me before entering my shadow.

"Status," I mumbled and sat down for a moment.

I looked at the screen and couldn't help myself from smiling a bit. While I'm still a long way from becoming strong, I have progressed a lot in just ten days.

Hmmm. Maybe I should invest some points in strength.

The strength stat in my system isn't just my physical strength but also my speed, so upgrading it now that I'm not staying in the library all the time would be best.

I thought about it for a bit before deciding to do it.

"Put 20 points each in Strength and Agility and 15 points in Vitality," I ordered the system.

[Strength: 85 -> 105]

[Agility: 85 -> 105]

[Vitality: 85 -> 100]
