"Huh!"

'How did my FP shoot up to 5000? If I remember correctly, it should be around 100 after my meditation and morning training.' Max thought.

'System, how did my FP shoot up?'

«Reporting to Host, Host has earned the reward for Quest»

'Huh? But I haven't found the girl yet?' Max asked while clicking on the notification button to look for some information.

«Host has completed the mission series Quest»

With the system's voice, a window opened up.

«Quest: Mission Series : Investigation»

Demonic Aura has been detected in the nearby vicinity. The host needs to investigate the cause behind it.𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

«Reward: • Special skill

• 5000 FP

«Penalty: ???»

«Time limit: 2 months»

«Status: Completed»

'What!'

'How!'𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

'When!'

«Reporting to Host, traces of Demonic aura had been detected on the body of the person that Host had fought today. So, the Host has completed the Quest by tracing the demonic aura.»

'What!'

'He..He.. was a demon?' he asked while stuttering as sweat formed on his forehead.

«Reporting to the Host, that person was not a Demon. But that person is related to Demons as most of his mana had an ominous energy making it very similar to demons'»

Hm..

....

'Wait!!'

'Damn it!'

'You mean this kidnapping incident is related to Demons.'

....

He thanked god as he could get some help the next day for rescuing that girl. he would get out of that mess immediately after that.

.....

'And yeah, I forgot about the skill reward.'

'Sys-' Before I can even ask, it starts creating trouble for me.

«Second part of Quest is being initiated....»

«Quest: Mission Series: Find the objective and stop the Demons»

«Reward: • 20000 FP

• Equipment.»

«Penalty: ???»

«Time limit: 6 months»

Looking at the screen, Max felt a headache and so he closed the Quest window. After all that time, he came to know that arguing with the system was only a waste of time.

.....

Letting out a sigh, he asked, 'System, what about the skill?'

«Reporting to Host, Host can obtain an Advanced class-specific skill without any FP, and understanding of the skill will be provided from system's database»

'Yes, I can finally get some skills. Show me what I can get.'

....

He couldn't help but get excited. He was hoping to get some fighting skill after almost dying last time.

«Skill Shop (Rewards)»

Assassin: Stealth Lv 1: Allows the User to remove his presence. If used on people with a higher level, there are chances of getting discovered within a 30m radius.

Master Swordsman Lv 1: Allows mastery of all kinds of swords, depending on skill level.

Wizard: Fire art Lv1: Allows the Host to manipulate fire. Power depends upon skill level.

«Host can choose a skill»

Looking at the dazzling names of the skills, He couldn't help but craved all of them. But somewhere, he had already made a decision.

....

Huhh...

Letting out a sigh, he spoke. 'System, I choose stealth.'

...

At that time, that was the best option for him. Even if he chose one of the other two, he couldn't fight at his current level of strength. So, a hiding and sneaking attack was the best thing he could think of.

«Skill «Stealth» Lv 1 obtained»

.....

'System, it mentioned skill shop earlier, does that mean I can buy skills?' Max asked in curiosity as he observed the heading of the page.

«Host needs to reach Lv 30, the third layer of Ancient Manual, to unlock the shop and the other features»

Ah!

....

He couldn't imagine that happening any time soon. He didn't even know if he could live till that day because that thing won't even let him know the penalty for failing the Quest.

...

So, he decided to put his attention on the present.

'System, put 3000 FP into the Level bar,' Max commanded the system, as raising his level was very important because he planned to raise his agility.

....

Remembering the earlier event, he couldn't help but breathe in cold air. That guy avoided his strike even after letting his guard down.

If he was serious, Max might have trouble even running away from him.

So, if he wanted to launch a sneak attack or even run away, he had to be quick. He couldn't afford to take any risk with his life.

«Host has gained a level»

Seeing the notification, he poured down all his extra Stat points on his Agility stat increasing it to 16.
