《Reborn-----the unexpected tales》chapter 5:Lake
Advertisement
I feel the pain all over my body as i regain my consciousness, struggling to get up from floor i manage to straighten my self and observe my surroundings.The are around me is gouged and i am currently standing in a 1 meter deep crater, pulling my body slowly towards the dead bat i observe surroundings for any dangers, however there is nothing except the dead bat here.
Approaching the dead bat slowly i place my hand on its forehead and instinctively active my ability "devour" absorbing a small amount of its strength.Another window pops out but i ignore it for now and decide to focus on recovering my full strength for now.
Going back to my old cave i use earth magic to enlarge and entrance and its interior to be about 5 meter in width and 2,5 meter roof.Feeling a bit more comfortable i use last bit of magic i have left to create a bed made of earth.After i finished making the bed i lie on it, even though it is hard and uncomfortable it is better than sleeping on bare ground, after few seconds i fall asleep as my body naturally absorbes mana in the air around me.
-half a day later-
After sleeping for a while i have fully recovered except few injuries i have on my body but they should heal in no time as well.Deciding to check out what notifications i gained yesterdays i mumble "show windows"

Feeling excited at the creation of my first skill i check out the second window.

Notification for each level that enemy is above you, you will gain additional stat point, for each level below you chance of getting stat point is 10% less
I lightly cry out in excitement as i read the text few times over.
"This is so overpowered!With this i will be able to grow at a rapid rate!"
Being in good mood i leave my cave with intention of going deeper in the chasm.
-3 hours- later
"On my way nothing interesting happened at all.. and this chasm is getting deeper and darker i should go back soon as possible get out of here since i do not want to stay in this chasm forever forever."
Feeling a bit bored just as i was about to go back i notice something big in front of me.I focus my gate on it as information window pops out without sound as usual.
Corrupted spiderNAMEnoneLevel14Strength56Intelligence13
Checking the stats carefully i mumble to my self while preparing my mana"
"It seems like this is a monster focused on strength and speed...pretty normal but what does corrupted stand for in its name i wonder?"
Jumping behind the corner i prepare 3 earth essence bombs but they are a lot smaller than the previous head sized one,these ones are size of a baby fist. Finally noticing my presence spider lets out a weird hissing eyes as it stares at me, i feel a chill go up my spine but i dispel it quickly as a window pops out.
You have resisted "terror gaze" !
`huh i guess that is why there are no creatures in this area, it uses this to paralyze its prey, but my intelligence is too high to get affected by it´

The spider thinking i was paralyzed moves towards me however he is awaited by 3 earth bombs in the face that cause send gory mess everywhere and cover me in spider blood however the spider himself died instantly since he was caught off guard.
I make a disgusted face as i let out a burst of magic on my body blowing the gore off me,after i finish cleaning my self i see a window pop out but i decide to check it out later and absorb the source energy from the spider.I lay my hand on the abdomen of the spider since the head does not exist anymore.
After i finished absorbing the source energy i sat near the body of spider and check out the notifications.
"Show windows"
You created a new unique spell!
Skill Name:Skill Rank:Skill Level:Skill type:Mana burstuniquebeginnerActiveDue to your natural mana control you have created a spell that uses sudden mana bursts and mana control to attack.
My eyes widen in surprise as i stare at my new gained ability.
"I sure am a genius when it comes to creating spells ha ha ha,no creature of this world can compare with knowledge from my previous world"
I then switch my attention to the window i got from "devouring"
You have absorbed source energy of corrupted spiderStr+2
"only strength?but i guess that was what the spider was the best at"
Not wasting time checking out my stats i proceed to go deeper in the chasm meeting few slimes along the way that i easily crushed.After few hours of walking i decide to stop and go back,but after i stopped i felt something pulling at my soul from the depths of chasm.Feeling a bit uneasy i decide to check out what it is, soon i step out regular cave-like chasm and emerge in front of a underground lake about 10 miles in diameter.
I can feel the pull from a small island in middle of lake, not hesitating at all i swim towards the center however i am interrupted by a rather huge creature that suddenly popped out in front of me and is looking at me with angry gaze.Seems like i just walked in its territory..how do i always get in trouble.
Focusing my gaze on the creature i see another window pop out in front of me that contains information about this creature.
Lake hydraNAMETha`zeguLevel31Strength???Intelligence???
You have entered the waters of the lake king!
"Ah goddammit you warn me now??"
Preparing for a long battle i jump out of water and circulate my mana preparing for a fight.
