The Griffin crumbled and Oz fainted at the same moment.
"Serves you right you damn beast." Oz barely said.
Suddenly, Oz heard a prompt before he fainted.

Oz wakes up. He observed his surroundings and he could see the same place where he woke up after the fight with the darkness lion.
(I fainted at this world because of blood loss for twice already, huh? To think someone like me would experience these things, life does unexpected. The prompt I heard before I fainted, does it meant that the goblin form leveled up?)
Oz imagines his hand holding the goblin duke card and the goblin card got summoned to his hands.

!!!!???
(It levels up!)
Oz is shocked by the fact that it could level the goblin duke card up. It meant that he could get stronger by leveling his goblin duke card too!
(Oh yeah, I need to recover my Qi cultivation, too.)
There is 10 realm of Qi cultivation
1. Body Reinforcement Realm
2. Spirit Reinforcement Realm
3. Core Condensation Realm
4. Core Spirit Realm
5. Core Transformation Realm
6. Void Spirit Realm
7. Spirit King Realm
8. Saint King Realm
9. God King Realm
10. Earth Monarch Realm
And every stage has 3 cultivation stage. Currently, Oz is in the realm of Body Reinforcement Realm, the first realm of Qi cultivation. Back then, Oz had already reached the Saint King Realm and being the top 10 martial cultivators of the world. But his cultivation level goes back to zero due his meridians got severely injured.
Oz straightens his back and cultivates his Qi. He could feel the pulse from his meridians by concentrating for 2-3 minutes. His meridians emit some hot energies and he could feel the power of the body reinforcement realm that in the verge of entering the realm of spirit reinforcement.
5 minutes. 10 minutes. 20 minutes.
His Qi starts to enter the spirit reinforcement realm and he could feel that his Qi had increased for 10 folds. When he about to continue his cultivation feeling that he could remember the feeling of breaking through the first 3 realms.

The door of the room got opened.
"Have you woken up yet Ren?" The cheerful Geeta came in and asked.
"yes, I've woke up," Oz answered.
"Good, how you're feeling now?" Asked her again.
"Well at least better than Yesterday," said oz kindly.
"It's not yesterday though, you've slept for 3 whole days," explained Geeta.
"3 whole days!?" Oz shocked.
"yes, 3 whole days. It's normal because you lost more blood than last time." Explained Geeta.
(No wonder I'm so hungry right now)
"Come on, let us eat first. I bet you're so hungry right now," Guessed Geeta while smiling cheekily.
Oz smiled. Seeing Oz smiling, Geeta's heart felt happy. She smiled tenderly and led Oz to the dining room.
Arriving at the dining room, Oz saw Aegir sitting together with a female goblin that looks very similar to Geeta, well, moreover her pink hair is the same as Geeta's.
"Hey, Ren! Come sit here! You must hungry," Said Aegir with his face full of smiles.
The female goblin beside of Aegir only smiled and sees Oz while he sits in front of Aegir. She moved her eyes to Geeta, and she gave a surprised look for a moment, and then she gives her a smile with a full meaning.
Oz sees the foods at the table, there is a steak he doesn't know what meat it is, there are some vegetables, and the drink is fresh looking water. Even if the foods and drinks are rather plain, but Oz felt that the foods he is seeing is very delicious, and he felt he got very hungry looking at the food. Maybe it's because of the fact that he hasn't eaten for 3 whole days or it's because of the delicious smell of the food.
"Don't just look, your eyes won't satisfy your hunger." The woman beside of Aegir said.
Aegir laughed. "Yes, don't hesitate to eat it Oz, You're considered a part of the family already, without you, we won't be eating here together.".
"Oh yeah, I haven't introduced you two. This is my wife, Gina." Introduce Aegir.
"Nice to meet you" Oz smiled and said politely.
"Nice to meet you too, thanks for saving my sister's and my husband's life," Said Gina.
"It's nothing. They're the ones who saved me, I do nothing big," Said Oz humbly.
Aegir smirked. "Don't be too humble Oz, You're too kind, I never saw a goblin who would sacrifice for others. You have my respect. Okay, let's stop talking and eat, the food will get cold." Said Aegir.
Oz took a small piece of meat and putting it inside his mouth. The taste is quite plain, but the meat is of high quality! The meat is juicy, and it had a rich unique flavor of itself, and the one who cooked this meat had cooked it masterfully. Oz thought, using some seasoning this meat will be a masterpiece that all people will sell their body for eating one piece of this meat.

"What meat is this?" Oz asked.
"It's Ectra Python's meat. What, doesn't it delicious? well, of course, my Gina cooked it!" Said Aegir bragging about his wife.
"Wow, your wife is a great cook" Praised Oz.
Aegir is very satisfied with Oz praise to his wife, and Gina is also happy by the praise. They eat the food to every bit of the meat and Oz found that the vegetables are also delicious, they're very happy seeing Oz eat the foods full of vigor.
"Phew, thanks for the food," Oz said, satisfied.
"You're really a glutton Ren," Said Geeta surprised.
After they finished eating, they talked and told stories of each other. Aegir shared his story about his father, his adventure, and his meeting with Gina. Gina shared her story about her life and about her old group, and Geeta shared her story about how she trained as a magic knight.
"Ah I forgot, I promised to teach you how to use mana haven't I Ren?" Asked Geeta.
"Yes, you did" Confirmed Oz.
"Then go for it you two. Geeta, go led Ren to the backyard to train," Ordered Gina to Geeta.
Geeta led Oz to the backyard to teach Oz how to use mana. Arriving at the backyard, Oz saw a lot types of plants, from the one, looks like a medical one to some looks that are planted for its wood.
"Okay, lets us get started. First, you need to feel the mana first. Try to stabilize your breath." Explained Geeta.
Oz concentrates his focus to his breath to stabilize it.
"Now, after you finished stabilizing your breath. Try to take out all the energies you could feel inside of your body," Said Oz.
Oz scans his body and searches for foreign energy he never felt. Thinking that he needs to stabilize his breath first, he focuses on his breath and he found some foreign energy inside of his body.
No wonder he never felt the power, it's outside the channels of the meridians so he never felt it. Oz tries to extract the energy outside his body.
!!!???
Geeta saw a huge amount of mana aura gushing out from Oz's body, she's surprised because she never saw this amount of aura that even her brother-in-law never have.
"Y-You're a genius, Ren!" Praised Geeta
Oz had already lost himself because of the feeling from the mana, he couldn't hear the praise Geeta said to him. He continues to Gush out his mana out of his body and tries to uses it the same way he uses his Qi.
*Whoosh*
A black mana aura envelops both of Oz fist. And Oz opened his eyes.
(Success!)
!!???
"Wow! I only praising you because you could feel your mana in your first try but, You really are a genius for being able to control your mana in less than a day! I'm about to teach you how to control your mana easily but, well, congratulation, You've controlled your mana," Geeta said, surprised.
Oz just smiled hearing the praise.
"I still have a long way, I'm still unable to use magic but you could already use magic," Said Oz, signaling Geeta to teach him how to use spells too.
"Ah, About using magic, you need to learn it from reading books. I can't explain it to you, it's too complicated," explained Geeta.
"If that's the case, can I borrow the book," asked Oz,
"Yes, you can borrow it. I'll go to my brother and ask for it, wait for me here okay?" Said Geeta with smiles.
"Okay then. I'll wait here, take your time." Said Oz.
Geeta went into the house to ask Aegir for the magic book Oz asked.
Seeing Geeta went back into the house, Oz tries to extract his mana power to his fist for the second time.
*Whooosh*
His fist is enveloped by a black mana aura, after enveloping his fist with mana, Oz tests to combine the mana and his Qi.
Oz closes his eyes, and he concentrates his meridians to emit his Qi to his fist. The mana and the Qi clash with each other. Oz tries to forcefully combine both of the power and-
*Whooosh*
The aura-like mana that envelops his fist before, changed its appearance to a liquid shape. The combination of the Qi and the mana looks like a black liquid that's enveloping Oz's hands. Oz could feel the enormous power this new energy contains.
Oz about to try punching his fist but-
"Ren! Here it is!" Geeta came bringing about 7 thick books.
She puts the books at the ground and said cheerfully "Read these books and you'll be able to use magic right away! well, the reading takes time though,"
Oz is secretly delighted seeing the books. he can't wait for learning the book and using magic.
(Finally! I will learn Real Magic!)

Summoner's Journey
[Before you read - the story is officially dead. The reasons behind it are posted in the last chapter.] In a magic world on the verge of an industrial revolution, Ari Ragnarsson must uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance. They were part of an organization known as the Order, which protects mankind from various threats - both human and supernatural. Now, after Ari's brands finally manifest, he leaves the safety of his village and travels to the continent. Strength is all that matters in this world and he must learn how to control his powers. There, he meets a man from another world, who's being hunted for merely existing. Their fates become intertwined, but not in a way either of them would appreciate. Author's note (contains minor non-story related spoilers about the MC and setting) This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG elements sprinkled on top. The main character is not a spellsword, but a summoner/support mage hybrid. Since he wasn't ambushed by a random god, there's no cheat item/spell and he has to rely on his skills and wits to survive in a world full of monsters. The story tries to show the moment when the old starts to be replaced by the new, with a healthy dose of magic and a little steampunk in the background. Also, it revolves around a party dynamic akin to RPG sessions. No health/mana bars. Numbers are secondary and the LITRPG elements focus more on classes/spells/runes and their evolutions. Tables are sparse at the beginning, but from chapter 7 onwards they appear more often. Still, I won't be copy-pasting the whole character sheet dozens of times per chapter.
