Chapter 017 – Water Mage

  When the confirmation notification sounded in Alexander's head, a light appeared beside him and materialized a small silver/metallic ring that couldn't look more ordinary.

  Upon picking up the small ring from the ground, Alexander didn't feel anything different or special about it. But as soon as he put it on, the ring's power began to invade him.

  "What item is this?" Alexander was startled. "It's so powerful."

  Remembering that |Appraise| had leveled up, Alexander began to appraise his rewards. Especially the ring, because he needed to know what that thing on his finger was.

  [Ring of the Thief God (Superior): A mysterious ring worn by a being known as the god of thieves. It is said that part of the thief god's power still remains in the ring.]

  [|Indestructibility|: Prevents this item from being destroyed.]

  [|Concealment|: 1st: Hides its own energy, presence, and status from any appraisal skills, except those of its bearer and those of divine level. 2nd: Makes it possible to hide the energy, presence, and status of its bearer, if he so wishes, from any appraisal skills, except those of divine level.]

  [|False Status|: Makes it possible to create an alternative status to replace, hide, or alter any of the original information of your true status.]

  [|Internal Storage|: Makes it possible to store and preserve the equipment of its bearer, as well as everything that comes into contact with the hand where the ring is, from the effects of time within the ring's internal space. Restrictions: It is impossible to store any things with a strong sentience/will/soul.]

  "…" Alexander.

  "So that's how a higher-grade item is," thought Alexander, after his head managed to stop wandering. "How monstrous."

  "It seems I won't have to worry about the (Agility) and (Dexterity) attributes for a while," Alexander pondered subconsciously. "But now is not the time to be thinking about this. Now is the time to become even stronger."

  Alexander then spent 1 growth point to put his spell |Water Jet| at maximum and level up his class.

  Ding!

  [|Water Jet (Peak)| leveled up to |Water Jet (MAX)|]

  Ding!

  [Your class {Water Mage (Apprentice)} leveled up to {Water Mage}]

  [Leveling up the scalable water element skills, which are not at maximum]

  [Leveling up the skill |Mana Control|]

  [Strengthening mana recovery capacity]

  [Strengthening regeneration capacity a bit]

  [Strengthening energy recovery capacity a bit]

  Ding!

  [The evolution process was successfully completed]

  Alexander was already happy with the rewards he had obtained, but became even happier when his power began to increase. The gain from increasing the class level was smaller compared to that of his evolution, but still gave him a very good feeling.

  Having no reason to stop, Alexander took advantage of the moment to allocate most of the free attribute points he had.

  [50 points added to Vitality]

  [40 points added to Strength]

  [30 points added to Defense]

  [28 points added to Intelligence]

  [4 points added to Charisma]

  [4 points added to Luck]

  With such a large increase in his attributes, especially in (Vitality), Alexander felt more alive than ever. The wave of energy coursed through his body so violently it seemed to want to jump out. His broken arm and cracked ribs began to regenerate at an insane rate, as if they were absorbing energy that had nowhere else to go to speed up the recovery process.

  While recovering, Alexander opened his class's skill tree and began to analyze the updates it had undergone.

  『 Class Skill Tree: Water Mage 』

  Basic Spells:

  [|Water Jet|:] Fires a water jet. Cost: (2) mana and (1) MP.

  [|Invigorate|:] Creates a mass of water with magical properties that heals, cleanses, and disinfects. Cost: (2) mana and (1) MP.

  Tier I Spells:

  [|Water Barrier|:] Creates a dense omnidirectional barrier with water. Cost: (10) mana and (1) MP.

  [|Water Cannon|:] Fires a dense sphere of compressed water. Cost: (10) mana and (1) MP.

  [|Water Blade|:] Fires a high-pressure water blade. Cost: (10) mana and (1) MP.

  Characteristic Class Enhancement:

  [(Blessing of the Waters):] Enhances mana, strengthens everything and anything related to the water element, and provides some resistance to the fire element, whether magical or not.

  Learning and improvement of basic and Tier I spells: (1) growth point.

  Obtaining the characteristic class enhancement: (2) growth points.

  Note: The requirement to increase the class level is to maximize the available basic spells, obtain the characteristic class enhancement, learn all available Tier I spells, and maximize at least one of them.

  After about 2 hours, Alexander's arm and ribs were fully recovered. Not wanting to waste time, he promptly jumped from the ground to look for a place where he could test the new spells. But as soon as he did, he almost collided with a tree.

  "My body has gone crazy again," Alexander sighed, exasperated.

  Having no other option, Alexander spent some growth points to learn the first versions of the Tier I spells and obtain the enhancement in his class's skill tree, just to have them, and began trying to get used to the changes in his body.

  Ding!

  [You learned the Tier I spell |Water Barrier|]

  [You learned the Tier I spell |Water Cannon|]

  [You learned the Tier I spell |Water Blade|]

  Ding!

  [You obtained the enhancement (Blessing of the Waters)]

  Just like all the other times, information about the spells flowed into Alexander's mind. But the enhancement wasn't knowledge, it was a bodily change.

  Even though he couldn't see the change, Alexander felt it. It was subtle, progressive, and somewhat ethereal, but not invasive at all.

  When the change ended, Alexander couldn't have been happier. And with that good feeling in his chest, he began to train as best as possible until he ran low on energy.

  Even though he couldn't control his body perfectly, Alexander still improved a lot with his training. Satisfied with the results, he did what he still had to do and went looking for a good place to lie down.

  The next morning Alexander woke up very early, but unlike other times, this morning his goal wasn't complicated. He just familiarized himself with his body and the new spells.

  "I thought it could be today, but it's tomorrow," thought Alexander. "Tomorrow is the day the 10-day survival mission will end, and I'll finally leave this place."

  With a plan formulated in mind, Alexander spent his last day in the grove practicing to be in great condition the next day.

  The next day, Alexander got up with the first rays of sun, because he didn't want to waste even a second of light, and confirmed that the mission had really ended.

  Ding!

  [Mission completed]

  『 Missions 』

  Survive (Part II)

  Mission Type: Survival.

  Mission Description: Survive for 10 days. Completion Evaluation: {S}

  Rewards: (5000 XP points), (1 growth point), (5 free attribute points) and (Survivor's Set).

  Extra Task: Kill one or more monsters during your survival time. Completion Evaluation: {S}

  Rewards for the extra task: (9700 XP points) and (5 free attribute points).

  Ding!

  [You completed the mission: Survive (Part II)]

  [You received: (14,700 XP points), (1 growth point), (10 free attribute points) and (Survivor's Set)]

  Upon looking at the mission's rewards, Alexander became even more enthusiastic, because they would be very useful during his exit from the grove. But upon looking at the [Survivor's Set], the "little goblin" discovered it was clothing appropriate for his human form.

  "…" Alexander.

  After sighing, Alexander resigned himself to reality. He then appraised the [Survivor's Set] and its skill, stored his new clothes in the ring, confirmed his status, and left the grove that had sheltered him since he arrived in this new world.

  [Survivor's Set (Unique):] Set of clothes designed to allow people who venture out to have a better chance of survival due to the provision of the skill: |Survival Run|.

  [|Survival Run|:] The cost of the skill |Run| is negated, and the energy consumption becomes equal to running normally.
