《Last Wish System 》Chapter 18: First Step
Advertisement
Yale was ready to continue with the hunting when the little wolf approached the Fire Wolf’s corpse and started eating it.
Yale was flabbergasted, the little wolf was an addict to eating fresh meat but to eat that Fire Wolf seemed excessive even for Yale who killed it mercilessly.
As Yale was pondering the reasons for the little wolf behavior, the system replied to him.
“That little wolf has inherited mostly only the bloodline of the Frost Wolf, and the Fire Wolf part was incomplete, by consuming the Fire Wolf it can complete it.”
Yale wasn’t expecting a reply from the system, but the answer was reasonable as the little wolf was pure white like its mother.
Yale watched until the little wolf finished eating, it was still looking the same, but the little wolf’s strength increased.
After Yale saw that scene, he understood that the world of beasts was very different from the human world.
After all, the humans didn’t eat each other, although some weird ones did it, they were despised and hunted down by the society until they were dead.
However, eating each other was the rule in the world of beasts, there was nothing wrong with the little wolf eating the Fire Wolf.
After that, Yale and the little wolf resumed their hunting.
In the following months, Yale was forced to battle against another 2-star monster, the battle was quite dangerous, but Yale managed to win without serious injuries.
In that time, Yale’s skills became stronger.
Sword Mastery finally reached Apprentice level eight, Archer’s Senses the level five, Pain Tolerance the level four, Auto-regeneration the level five and stealth the level six.
Stealth had the best increase among all the skills followed by Archer’s senses, that was because those two passive skills were the most useful in hunting.
The other three skills only leveled up in Yale last battle against the 2-star monster. However, Yale was satisfied.
Time passed, and Yale finally turned ten years old, at that moment the system reacted at the same time that the Origin Path Training Method in his mind activated.
Yale felt his body burning as the first strand of Origin Qi was beginning to form.

“User reached ten years old, the world’s protection disappears.”
“Dynamic Quest completed, giving rewards according to the number of killed monsters.”
In those months, Yale killed uncountable 1-star monsters and also three 2-star monsters including the Fire-wood Tiger and the Fire Wolf, so he hoped for good rewards.
” Rewards: Fire Elemental Affinity: High grade, Earth Elemental Affinity: Mid grade, Wind Elemental Affinity: Mid-low grade, Poison Elemental Affinity: Low grade, Bloodline enhancement to 5-star Frost Wolf Bloodline: Complete.
Even with his attention divided because of the current state of his body, Yale was flabbergasted about the rewards, they were far better than he expected, but the system was rational when it came to the rewards.
Yale killed two fire element 2-star monsters and then obtained a high-grade fire elemental affinity.
Earth and wind monsters were the most abundant in the Beast Trial, and the rewards were because of the quantity more than the quality.
As for the Poison Elemental Affinity, it was because the other 2-star monster was a big viper.
Poison was also a special element, and it was as rare as healing. However, healing was much more valued as there were a lot of methods to kill but saving others was more difficult.
What surprised Yale more was the last reward, the enhancement of the Frost Wolf bloodline.
The system counted the Frost Wolf death as Yale’s kill. The Frost Wolf used his last life-force to pass the legacy to Yale and then died, even if it was going to die anyway the system counted it as Yale killing it.
Even if Yale didn’t want to have the Frost Wolf death attributed to him, the reward he obtained for killing a 3-star monster was very good.
“The user created a strand of Origin Qi reaching Origin Level 1.”
As the strand of Origin Qi completely formed in Yale’s mind the system notified Yale, and he became an Origin Path practitioner officially, even if he was only a 1-star mortal he already embarked on the Origin Path.
That was Yale’s first step in a path that was difficult even simply to start.
“User obtained the Battle Skill [Tri-sword] as a sub-quest reward.”

“User obtained the Magic Skill [Spark] as a sub-quest reward.”
As Yale reached the 1-star mortal level, the sub-quest finished and gave him those rewards.
“Frost Wolf Legacy’s sealed Combined Skill [Frost Claw] unlocked.”
That was unexpected to Yale as he thought that unlocking sealed skills would be more difficult.
Yale immediately went to the Skill Menu to check those new skills.
” Tri-sword Level 1: Three consecutive strikes with the sword. It requires 1 Origin Point. Mastery at level 10.”
That skill seemed rather normal, but it was very good for a beginner like Yale, Battle Skills with three strikes were difficult to acquire while in the 1-star level. Of course, as this was a skill, its strength would be far better than three normal strikes.
What mattered more to Yale was that Origin Point it required.
“Origin Points are the way the system shows the usable origin power from the user, the Stats Menu included the actual, and maximum Origin Points the user has. The cost of the skills could become higher as the level increases.”
As Yale expected that was related to his energy, one point was the lowest measure in Origin Points, so the cost of Tri-sword was the minimum possible. Yale didn’t believe that it would only be one point if his energy were normal Inner Qi.
However, there was an important factor that affected the cost of any skill, and that was the Innate Talent, the more innate talent related to the skill the less cost to execute it. Yale had a perfect talent regarding the sword so any Battle Skills that used a sword would have a lower cost for him.
“Spark Level 1: Generates sparks of lightning. Thunder Element. It requires 1 Origin Point. Mastery at level 10.”
Another basic level technique, but learning Magic Skills usually requires some time, and Yale automatically learned it, having only three months to achieve mastery in both skills that time was very precious.
Finally, Yale went to check the Combined Skill obtained from the Frost Wolf’s Legacy.
“Frost Claw Level 1: Generate an ice claw in the user’s hand that could be used to attack the enemies. Water Element. It requires 1 Origin Point. Mastery at level 20.”
That was a very good technique, the cost was still the minimum and creating a claw of ice would be a good surprise element in the midst of battle.
That kind of skill was rather uncommon, and that one was a racial skill from Frost Wolves, so there were only a few humans who could execute it.
In fact, the Frost Wolf bloodline influenced the skill’s cost more than the Water Element Elemental Affinity.
Furthermore, the best point was that the element the system showed was water instead of ice like the original Frost Wolf skill. As it wasn’t limited to the ice sub-element, the Frost Claw could change into a liquid state acquiring more versatility.
Yale closed the Skill Menu and then went to the Stats Menu, he wanted to see how many Origin Points he had.
“Name: Yale Roanmad | Age: 10 | Origin Level:1 |Origin Points: 1/1”
“Vitality: 10 | Strength: 10 | Agility: 10 | Intelligence: 10 | Wisdom: 10 | Dexterity: 10”
Yale could only sigh while seeing that he only had one Origin Point, that was obvious as he just had a breakthrough to the lowest level of the Origin Path.
Having only one Origin Point was the same as only being able to use a single skill before he restored his energy, Yale then asked the system about his recovery speed.
“Origin Point Recovery Speed: 1 point every 10 minutes. The recovery speed would increase as the user advances in the Origin Path.”
Of course, that was only the normal recovery speed; if Yale started practicing the Origin Path Training Method, the speed would increase a lot. However, in a battle, it was difficult to have time to use a training method as they needed concentration.
Yale was going to look at the new sub-quest in the Quest Menu when he noticed something about the little wolf that picked his attention; the little wolf had also become a 1-star monster as if it had synchronized its breakthrough with him.
