Inside the Beast Trial, Yale didn’t feel like he was inside the Roanmad clan anymore; he like he was in a wild forest.

Yale cautiously walked as he started to look for some edible herbs or fruits and some source of fresh water, in the Beast Trial the beasts weren’t the only factor, one needed to survive.

Yale had a lot of knowledge about herbs and fruits from books, so he didn’t fear eating something poisonous which ended the lives of many participants before him. The quickest ones to die were always those who died because of poison, not from beasts.

Furthermore, Yale had the system to back up the information he remembered; he couldn’t make a mistake in remembering something wrong as the system records were perfect.

There were a lot of edible herbs and fruits in the forest which relieved Yale a lot, he could differentiate what he could eat from what he couldn’t, but he would be in dire straits if he couldn’t find anything edible.

In an hour Yale climbed a tree near a little lake with a bag full of fruits and herbs. He would also need some meat as he didn’t plan to become vegetarian, but Yale first secured a living zone and set some traps.

Yale also studied about traps but never tried them before, so he wasn’t very confident in them.

However, even if the traps failed, this lake was the only source of water in the proximities, and the beasts also needed to drink water to live, so Yale hoped that some weak beasts appeared and he waited to assault them.

Even if all the beasts are in the mortal rank, some of them were comparable to a 3-star mortal fighter, those were the overlords of the Beast Trial, and virtually any challenger who walked into them ended up dead.

Fortunately, those powerful beasts owned some areas in the Beast Trial that even other beasts didn’t dare to mess with.

No beast occupied the lake, and it was near the border of the Beast Trial; it was very unlikely that powerful beasts would show up after all the clan regularly cleaned the Beast Trial from too powerful beasts and those near the border were easily detectable. Otherwise, if the beasts were allowed to develop the survival chances for the challengers would be zero.

Yale thoughts were right as he managed to quickly hunt a rabbit with an arrow, a bow was really useful for this kind of trial, and the targets were better to practice than those static ones in the clan.

“New Dynamic Quest: Hunt one hundred beasts without being discovered. Reward: Passive Skill [Stealth: Level 1].”

Yale was happier about the notification than about the rabbit, he was hoping to obtain some new Dynamic Quest since a long time ago, but none popped out.

“Coming here was the correct decision.”

Yale was now sure, the change of his lifestyle provoked changes in the system. Yale wasn’t doing anything challenging before, he was already used to all his training, and he didn’t feel any difficulty in them.

Even if his stats remained the same, Yale was now more confident in being able to reach ten points in all of them than before.

Fortunately for Yale, this was only a trial and not a real beast forest, the clan used a spell to replenish the water constantly so that anyone could drink it without problems. Risking to make a fire to cook the food was already enough if he also needed to boil water every time he wanted to drink it would attract some attention from the other beasts.

That would be different if Yale could use magic but it’s impossible without being ten years old, he could only use the most basic methods.

For the first five days, Yale proceeded very well and didn’t meet any problems, but at the sixth day, a 1-star monster appeared.

When a beast started to practice to surpass the limits of mortality it got called a monster. A 1-star monster wasn’t more powerful than a normal beast, but they were far more ferocious.

The monster who appeared in front of Yale was similar to a rabbit, yet not a rabbit as it had two small horns on its head and the fur was somewhat purple.

“A Two-horned Purple Rabbit, it’s one of the weakest 1-star monsters, but its flesh is poisonous. I can’t eat it.”

The poison of a Two-horned Purple Rabbit wasn’t that strong; it could only paralyze a little. However, in the Beast Trial, that little could be lethal, and Yale didn’t need more meat at the moment.

“Wait, if I can use his flesh on my arrows, they would be able to slow the targets down a bit more. If some powerful monster appears it could be a good method to flee.”

Yale wasn’t a coward, but he also wasn’t a fool, if he faced an opponent he couldn’t win then he would run and try again after becoming stronger, Yale didn’t think that it was worth to die only to be called brave by the others. He wouldn’t doubt that he would give his all to protect his sister even if he risked his life like before, but not for something as superfluous as bravery or honor.

As for the Absolute Defense, Yale didn’t want to count on it as he could only use it once per month, if he used it then, later on, he would be without that trump card. Absolute Defense was only his last resort.

Yale shot an arrow towards the Two-horned Purple Rabbit, and a new notification appeared in his mind.

“New Dynamic Quest: Hunt monsters. Time Limit: Reaching ten years old. Reward: The quality and quantity of the monsters will determine the rewards. The Dynamic Quest will finish automatically when the time limit arrives.”

Yale’s eyes opened as he hears about the new Dynamic Quest, it was the first time such type of Quest with undetermined rewards appeared.

“I need to change my plans and take some risks; I must obtain as many rewards as possible from that Dynamic Quest, and my current hunting style isn’t good for that. After I obtain the stealth skill, I’ll go deep into the forest to find more monsters.”

Yale thought about playing it safe and advanced only when he felt the current situation too easy, but the appearance of the new Dynamic Quest almost drove him mad, not seeing the rewards let his imagination run wild about what kind of rewards he could obtain.

However, even if he would rush the things a little, he would still wait to complete the first Dynamic Quest as the reward seemed useful for the whole Beast Trial.

Yale only needed three days after the new Dynamic Quest appeared to complete the first one. Yale quickly checked his new skill.

“Stealth: Level 1: When the user is hiding his presence would be more difficult to detect. It can be leveled up using its effects.”

Stealth effects were just what Yale expected it to be, and he expected to level it a lot during the Beast Trial.

Of course, Yale didn’t plan to only hide and attack with arrows; he also wanted to train his body.

However, it was only a matter of time that he found monsters he couldn’t finish with arrows before they reach him he would then start fighting them with his sword. That would easily attract more attention into(towards) him and then it would become harder to hide and use arrows to fight, so he focused on training his archery first.

Yale started to walk carefully trying to hide his presence because from that day his hunting area wouldn’t be limited to that little lake. Yale was prepared to risk his life to obtain the best rewards from the Dynamic Quest, which could impact his whole future, so he decided to go all out.
