Dante awoke with a start. His stomach rumbling and a pounding headache. Light streamed in his window only making his headache worst. So he grabbed his pillow, put it over his eyes, and rolled over to face away from the window.

5 minutes went by before he regained enough sense to try and read his notices. It was a long list, which didn't help matters.

Several seconds passed in silence before he spoke.

"System? Got anything to get rid of a headache?" Much to his surprise a golden panel appeared in the air before him.

System can null your headache for, 1 hour, for 1 small gold...

"Fuck me that's expensive...Is it instant?" He asked considering the offer.

Correct...

"I'll take it...Oh...Holy shit! That's much better!" Dante exclaimed as he felt something wash over him erasing the ache of his pounding head. He took the pillow off his head and got up to stretch.

-1 small gold...

Buff: Null Head ache has been applied...

Duration: 1 hour...

You are advised to eat and drink during this time to aid in your bodies recovery...

"Thank you system I appreciate the aid." he said with a wide smile on his face.

Noted...

Scrolling back through the notices to reexamine them he made note of the system warning about heavy blow. His Dex should be his last physical stat to raise to 100. Then again he should be pretty close to getting Spirit to...then there was that new feat he could choose.

He took note of the Mana I road, and its mention of Mana manipulation and Mana sense.

Now that he thought about it he wondered how it was different from the arcs...

"Ah fuck it!" He exclaimed pushing the issues aside for after he had gone down stairs and gotten his breakfast.

------------

Dante got dressed and went down to have breakfast with his parents.

Taking the advice of the system he ate and drank till he was full, which meant he had to make 2 more orders costing him about 2 small gold when all was said and done.

Dante spoke with he parents throughout breakfast and they began to decide what they would do today.

After a long discussion they decided to go shopping for some basic equipment and then head beyond the walls.

As the conversation began winding down, Dante began scrolling through the list of feats trying to decide what would be a good one to take.

As he looked he saw those he had already seen and some that he hadn't seen the last time.

"What to choose?"
