It was night, surrounded by many bioluminescence plants. But even if it was night, the sky is crystal blue clear as many constellations of star flickered shone the entire galaxy
For one hour. I finally dismantled all the deer body parts and throws the intestine away. We have the bones, crystallize hide, the skull, the antler. And finally — the meat
I want to keep the antler as it's dust might be an antidote for any toxin and poison. So I patiently cut the giant antler horn from the skull. It might be very useful in the future
The bone can be turned into a weapon and for the hide, we might find some idea to make extra protection. As for the bone marrow, I don't know very much about it but if the Quest possible-loot indicator mention it up, it must be an important body part with many benefit
It is a forest after all. Speaking of the forest, there is an unexpectedly low rate of danger here in the night. All I see is just a small weird rabbit-like creature and nothing more than that. But it's fine! I don't want to fight another beast ...
Ah yes, the meat! But do we need to eat it raw? This place is too moist and starting a fire is almost impossible here without any tools
...
I grabbed the vines that were attached to the thunder scroll. Gently hold it and drop it into the snored sloth. It let out a shock to the lazy humanoid being that appeared as my body doubles
She immediately throws the scroll after the shock caught her. I saw it flies two meters from our location with grace
I shut my ear with my finger, as the former slumbered sloth got snatched from her dreamland. Prepared
"ARGH!!? What in the world is wrong with you!? You know that both of us are a heavy sleeper that got a headache for fast sleeping! ... BLOODY ANSWER ME!!"
I saw her gritted her teeth and squinted her eyebrow or it's maxim limit. After a few moment of silence, I began to talk my way out of this situation — with passive aggression
"Uhm, one: we both have a new body so it won't affect us now, two: I'm irritated cause you left all the dismantling to me, three: the scroll slipped from my hand"
"The scroll has a vine attached to it. You consciously do it"
"The same for the wake-me-up-in-an-hour part of you"
She clenched her palm with and let out an exciting gesture to see "But don't wake me up with a frickin' tesla scroll, you dumbass!!"
"I got the right to wake you up with any kind of way, dear~"
"Urgh, so what you want me to do?"
I give the stone blade to her "search for more vine. I don't know the location, and I prefer the stronger one"
"Watch your back or I'll stab this into your instead"
"Woo~ Scary~ I beat up a two and a half meter deer and I won't hold back beating up fifteen years old child that has the same brain as me"
She left with her middle finger free as a bird. I won't give any leniency especially in a world with danger lurked in every one of the choices we made. It would be preferable this way when we don't trust and do differ from each other instead
I sorted out the loot and checked the Shop

I haven't looked at the Art Scroll category. This might be one of the scrolls that will teach us the technique to use this so-called mana. I might be wrong and then turned out to be a porcelain crafting tutorial
"Haha, I won't be surprised if that is going to happen"

Expensive as always. The fancy names sounded so world breaking. Isn't this just cultivation and martial art scroll? But after looked at the name. Heavenly Market is something that would come out on an eastern fantasy ... Do I need to cultivate!? Why does it say mana instead of Qi? ...

"Hmm"
I have a theory that this Xyo is one of the cultivation stages. But it said class instead. No, maybe it sorted what kind of power the user has. I need to delve more into the Shop section if I want to understand this
And for Eous ... I can just say that it was my power
"Why they just can't say it like how it was supposed to be!?"
But it was not what I wanted to know right now. I opened the Shop menu and typed the word on the holographic keyboard

"ARGH!!"
Why I use my soul essence to gacha an unknown scroll instead of the Mana Control Art scroll!!
"Why they didn't make any tutorial for this!!"
This feeling of hopeless and the unprecedented regret of not thinking ny of this earlier
It stings
I wanted to cry
I lied down
And cried
"Hueee, I don't want to fight any beast. Death is scary huu"
Just imagine if I've learned the mana control instead. I can hunt with ease and maybe learn some cool trick up to my sleeve, my dream of adventures in the world with sword and magic might be not a dream at all. I grasped the wrong path all along
"I'm not having fun at all"
But it's not impossible. Screw the Art Scroll!! I'll learn it myself!!
"Many manga and manhwa protagonist can comprehend the unknown easily or with their knowledge, I hope I have that kind of power"
But something came to my mind
"Speaking of Art scroll. What is the thunder scroll to begin with?"
I've missed something, why a scroll??
Curious, I grabbed the vines tied to the scroll, carefully untied the knot without touched the scroll
"Let see how many seconds I can survive"
