To Sam's surprise, Ashley could choose only one prestige class, this class was similar to those that Sam had to pick from earlier, this prestige class immediately gave 5 agility and +1 agility for each 2 levels.

Sam immediately realized that apparently only one person could get the prestige classes, after which there was no more such an opportunity, which he immediately told Ashley about.

Also, Ashley, thanks to the 5th level skill, had a normal class in the selection list, which allowed the use of a spatial storage rune. The problem was that the storage was only 1 cubic meter, and required 10 cores of the soul.

Sam immediately said that now this class is useless, it will take a lot of time to collect 10 cores, in addition, Ashley must become stronger in order to survive.

Considering Sam's words, Ashley did not hesitate to choose the only prestige class she had available, this skill was not very strong but still good enough.

They soon returned to camp and tasted the wild boar. However, none of those who had previously gained Toughness received any further improvements.

Sam watched Jane and Ashley spar and was pleased, now he believed that they could survive even if they encountered S1 or L1. In addition, the forest was a good ground for building up strength, and it was not far away.

The next day, Sam caught the man and fed him one of the fruits. After eating the fetus, he almost immediately passed out, during the blackout he was clearly not well.

The man came to his senses only after a couple of hours and said that he had received 1 stamina. Sam fed him a couple more different fruits and without achieving results, killed him.

He took one of the fruits at night and by the morning he also gained 1 stamina, sharing the fruits with Ashley and Jane, he took another, but this time there were no results. Sam did not give up and tried it again, but to no avail.

It was time to leave, in recent days Ashley was especially passionate, Sam asked her to stay alive and said that sooner or later he would return.

"Jane, I hope you look after Ashley, and when I get back I'll definitely bring something useful as a thank you."

"I don't need anything, and I would take care of Ashley without your request. You better take care of yourself, bon voyage.

It was a little embarrassing, in fact Sam was a little worried about Jane too. Apparently she didn't really share his feelings, he cleared his throat to cover his awkwardness, and then left.

Sam entered the forest and set off, he had to go somewhere a thousand kilometres, although rather more. His speed and endurance were enough to run at an easy pace for quite some time.

Along the way, he looked out for special plants and killed animals for the sake of experience. He spent the night in a brazen tent, he believed that his sense of danger would have time to awaken him.

A couple of days later, while spending the night, he heard a sound and saw that a huge bear was trying to fill up the tent, Sam got out and attacked him. Unlike the wild boar, the bear was more difficult.

He did not let him go behind his back and his flapping claws cut the air with great force, but after being careful, Sam got used to his habits and began to shred his paws with difficulty, dodging.

Thanks to the moon, Sam was not completely blind in the dark and soon overwhelmed the bear. Even when he was in the camp, he tried to provide his sword with cores, the sword usually ate 1 core per day, and Sam already fed him 6.

Sam moved on, the experience also grew, although for the 13th level Sam already needed about a million, so he got the level only after another 6 days, he had been on the road for almost 10 days and had to get out soon.

The next day his sword consumed the tenth core, and Sam finally felt something new. The sword glowed slightly for a moment, after which energy passed through Sam's hand and Sam received +1 to the parameter of the spirit.

Sam was delighted and laughed like a fool for a long time, it was not much of an improvement, but still, in order to raise the spirit parameter, it was necessary to spend 2 points of free characteristics. And most importantly, thanks to the sword, he will have a slight advantage.

At least there shouldn't be many Reapers. Well, the spirit fruitfully influenced the body comprehensively, albeit just a little, it was hardly noticeable at the current level, but there was still a difference, for example, vision and feelings.

And of course, what pleased Sam most of all, the strength of the armor depended on the spirit, which means it would be more difficult to kill him.
