Wincing in pain i open my eyes as i take a quick look around me area is filled with many shallow gouges and few deeper ones. Standing up while enduring the pain i stagger towards a small cave to find a shelter for now since i am too weak right now and even level 10 beast can kill me easily.

Managing to enter a small cave i quickly sit in a cross legged position and absorb mana around me to heal my self as i slowly fall in trance i lost the track of passage of time.

-2 days later-

Finally feeling fully recovered i stand up and stretch my body, feeling that there are no more problems with my body i run out of cave and excitedly yell out "Show notifications"

Congratulations you have made a new ability

Congratulations you have leveled up + 1

Congratulations you have leveled up + 1

Congratulations you have leveled up + 1

Congratulations you have leveled up + 1

"Ehh all that trouble for only 4 levels? how hard is it to gain levels in this world...."

Feeling a bit depressed over small level increase i check out the other 2 notifications.

Skill Name:Skill Rank:Skill Level:Skill type:Soul magicUniqueAdeptactiveYour unique ability that you gained due to your close contact with souls of other creatures and your own, it allows you to use ancient soul magic to attack your opponents soul directly

Skill Name:Skill Rank:Skill Level:Skill type:Arcane magicOriginAdeptactiveThis magic affinity allows you to use mana to attack directly, this magic is believed to be origin of all magic

At first i am very confused by these two new spells but soon my face turns excited as i read them over and over again.

"these spells...they are incredible! i don't know if i have good or bad luck!"

Feeling gleeful i approach the body of hydra as i swallow my saliva greedily.

"So many stat points to gain! i really am lucky after all"

With and excited face i put my hand on hydra and use devour to absorb its source energy however my expression turns ugly as another window pops out.

The source energy has already dissolved in this creature!

"....WHAT!"

Feeling enraged i shout and punch the hydra resentfully.

"How dare you! i almost died because of you and you give me this.. you owe me your source energy!"

Even though i know how stupid i sound i continue yelling out curses for a hour or so before finally falling down exhausted and panting before calming my self down.

"Ahh no point dwelling over it now.. i still have to go to that small island in the lake"

My expression turns stern as i stare towards the middle of lake as the pulling force at my soul grows stronger.

Steeling my self i jump in the lake and swim towards the center, however even though the lake seemed small i still needed half an hour to get to the center.As soon as i reached the shore i heaved sigh of relief as i jumped out of water and stretched my sore muscles.

"ughh it is still so difficult to swim"

I mutter lightly as i observe my surroundings.

Area is covered in dense foliage as ancient pine trees emerge everywhere, moss is covering almost everything and you can see small critters running around.But overall it gives you a calming and mesmerizing feeling almost as if you have entered a different realm.

Unfortunately i do not have time to enjoy the island as i enter deeper in forest while avoiding thorns.After 5 minutes of walking i suddenly feel something weird, almost as if someone is staring at me.

Freezing in place i prepare magic my mana to strike as i swiftly turn around and spread out my hands to fire the spell...

However there is nobody here... feeling a bit confused i sigh in relief as i put my hands on hips and stare in front of me for signs of any sentient creature.Putting my guard down i dissolve magic i prepared in my hands as i hear something startling.

"Are you looking for something young one"

An ancient voice reaches my ears as i slowly turn around and gaze at the figure in front of me.

A 1.9meter tall man with long white beard that reaches down to his solar plexus and white shoulder long white hair.He has a pristine white robe with red markings and in his right hand he holds a simple gray staff with a palm sized wheel on its top.

I break out in cold sweat as i stare at his stats.

The white oneNAMEBelebogLevelTranscendenceStrength???Intelligence???

He lightly smiles as he reaches out his hand to my forehead, i desperately try to move however i am unable to even blink not to mention move.

As soon as his hand touches my forehead i feel my mind go blank for a second as his eyebrows rise in surprise.

"ohh so that is how it is young one...you were reincarnated no wonder i can not manipulate your soul..but still you will have to listen to what i am about to say if you want to live."

My scalp turns numb as i manage to lightly nod with an fearful expression feeling that he can turn me into dust without moving his finger.

"It seems you are intelligent enough to understand now follow me"

I grimly smile as i think to my self.

"Not like i have any options!"
