Sid glanced at Leon and Lily as if he was comparing them. Lily has pale white skin, night blue hair, topaz yellow eyes, long eyelashes, and a short proportion. Leon on the other hand has a slightly darker skin than Lily's, dark green hair, topaz yellow eyes, short eyelashes, and 6 feet in height.
"Leon I want to gather food with Azazel, could you let us go?", said Lily.
"As you just heard Lily might not call me brother I'm still her brother, how about you do as she just said I'll give you a portion of the food the both of you get", said Leon.

[Accept Y/N]
"Okay I accept", said Sid.
"Yay, let's go now before it gets dark", said Lily.
Sid checked the time and noticed that there were two clocks.
[14:24 Game Time]
[2:24 Real Time]
'I guess it's night here once it's afternoon in real life'.
Sid opened his inventory and equipped the [Leather Gauntlets] on his weapon slot.
"Oh right Azazel you need this", said Leon while holding a knife.
Sid took it, "Thank you, let's go now Lily".
Lily held Sid's hand tightly, Leon saw it and his eyebrows twitched.
Leon smirked, 'It seems that I'll have a brother-in-law soon, but I'll have to train him more. When he comes back I'll teach him more skills then'.
Sid noticed him, 'Why is he smiling like that? I hope he stops, it's too creepy'.
Once again the players looked at Sid with envy, the villagers on the other hand looked delighted.
A villager spoke, "I hope this will change Lily's mischievous personality".
Another villager spoke in agreement, "I hope so too, if not our village will be doomed to be toyed with by that brat".
Just like that the NPC that gives the [Beginner Magic] skill will not appear in the village any longer. If players want to learn it they'll have to wait and reach level ten before getting it, and it'll be in a harsher way. Sid's life on the other hand will be a lot harsher than before.
The moment Sid and Lily left the village, Sid drew a magic circle.
"Life Detection".
[-10 Mana]
"There's a pack of wolves fifty meters from us, there should be about five wolves in the pack", said Sid.
"As expected of my handsome Azazel", said Lily.
"Yours?", asked Sid in a very confused manner.
"Don't think about it for now", said Lily.
When Sid and Lily reached around ten meters away from the pack of wolves, Sid drew another two magic circles.
"Stealth".
[-10 Mana]
"Odourless".
[-10 Mana]
As a gamer for more than ten years, why would he forget knowledge such as this and as it was a VR game he thought that there should be a sense of smell in the game. Once he got in the game he checked if he could use all his five senses, except taste of course, he still hasn't eaten anything in the game.
Sid glanced at his Mana Bar, [135/160 Mana].
'Judging by the amount of time we took to reach here which is five whole minutes, it means I replenish one Mana every minute'.
"Wait here, I'll use a spell that can beat them easily", said Sid.
"Wait Azazel, how did you use magic without elements?", asked Lily.
"Easy use magic that isn't attributed to any element", said Sid.
Sid then climbed a tree, with both of them being odourless and transparent the wolves didn't notice either of them.
Sid drew a magic circle which was vibrantly red.
"Let's see if this spell works with beginner magic".
"Explosion".
[-50 Mana]
[-25 Health]
Boom!
It exploded in front of Sid and made him crash down the tree, alerting the wolves.
"I guess I should've used the generic Fire Arrows spell".
Sid drew another five magic circles, and it didn't even take him five seconds to draw them. This action allowed Sid to know the advantages of this casting system.
"Fire Arrows".
[-50 Mana]
'It seems that Fire Arrows is just a really low tier spell if it only uses the same amount of Mana as these buff spells'.
Each of the arrows struck a wolf, three of them were only hit in their legs, while the other two lost an eye.
[Dealt 70 Damage to a Wolf]
[Dealt 70 Damage to a Wolf]
[Dealt 40 Damage to a Wolf]
[Dealt 40 Damage to a Wolf]
[Dealt 40 Damage to a Wolf]
'I hope they only have one hundred health or I'm dead'.
The moment Sid uses his Fire Arrows the buff spells he used all vanished, so the wolves already knew where he was.
Awoo!
The wolves howled and charged towards Sid, 'Crap, I guess I should end this'.
A tiny familiar voice could be heard, "You can destroy their bodies, we don't need their meat, their inedible. But if you want we can get their pelts to use it as armor".
'I guess I can use a more destructive spell, I don't need to get their pelts now I can just try to get them later, for now I'll use this experience for future battles'.
This is the disadvantage of magic spells being a collective skill, not knowing what spells you can actually cast. You'll need to use your imagination to think of a good spell.
'How about Fire Blast?'.
Sid drew another vibrant red magic circle, he waited for the pack to get close to him.
"Fire Blast"
Boom!
[-25 Mana]
[Dealt 75 Damage to a Wolf]
[Killed a Wolf +10 Exp]
Sid glanced at his Mana Bar once more.
[10/160 Mana]
'Crap I'll run out of Mana before I can kill all of them, I guess it's time to practice how to fight a wolf barehanded. Wait how much Exp do I need left to level up?'.
[80% Exp]
'I just need to kill one more of them and I can use another magic spell'.
Sid checked his [Skill Window].

'I guess I can try to use [False Punch]'.
Sid raised his fists, as he did his battle stance.
A wolf leaped towards him and Sid used [False Punch].
Boom!
