I instantly dashed to the cave, flexibly avoiding the trees ahead.
'Wow, I like my new body improvements.'
As I got near, Layla was outside the cave still calling out for me, her hands crossed on her stomach.
"You will catch a cold, let's go inside."
She yelped. "Ohh it's you, appearing in the dark like that, you scared me."
"What are you doing outside anyway."
"You have been gone for a while when I heard the weird sound I got worried that something bad might have happened."
"You worry about me to much, i'm fine."
I pulled her by the waist and led her inside.
I closed my eyes ready to sleep.
"You haven't finished the daily task." The system spoke.
'I totally forgot, wake me up early in the morning.'
I Instantly dozed off.
"Time to be lazing around is over, wake up!"
The system pulled me back from sleep.
'How the fuck is it Morning already, I swear I just closed my eyes like a minute ago.'
"Actually you have been asleep for 4 hours, it's now 6 am."
'Exactly! I'm still asleep, now wake me up after 30 minutes!' I retorted in my mind.
"I cannot eccept to serve a lazy host!"
'Well go away and serve someone you think is worthy'
"LALALALALALALALALALALALA."
The system screamed in my head and I instantly stood up.
'Aaggh! Stop screaming in my head. I will train then, I will do the stupid tasks."
"Enough playing around, let's go outside to train if you really want to get used to fighting."
I grumbled walking out of the cave. The sun was already up, the moment I got outside cool breeze splashed my face, it was really a beautiful morning, or rather the scene of nature made the morning blissful.
I walked in the small trees down the hill until I reached a plain area on the side of a small river.
The last time I actually exercised was in gym class where I managed to do twenty push-ups but now I have to do hundred.
I immediately jumped on to it, doing hundred push-ups without breaking a sweat.
I actually gained a lot of strength.
moving on to sit ups and squats which I finished with difficulties.
My limbs where aching, I kept doing the punches, although my legs where shaking I didn't give up. after an hour has passed I finally finished the exercise.
[ Reward - 8xp ]
A notification popped in front of me, my vest was drenched in sweat as I gasped for air.
I dropped myself on the cold sand.
"System Alert! danger detected!"
'Come on I'm still tired.'
I instantly shot up and got on my feet. My eyes scanned around like a predator looking for it's prey.
I heard distance growls.
Fuck this red moon, what has it bought now.
Four creatures imaged in the bush carrying swords and shields, they wore light amor, some where even equipped with helmets.
"Are those skeleton warriors."
"No, they are not skeleton warriors. They are called draugr, and are actually ghost spirits, although the draugr is regarded not so much as a ghost spirit but a revenant." The system explained
"In other words the reanimated of the deceased."
When they marched closer I could see their features, skeleton warriors are only made of skeleton, the draugr was different.
They looked as if their bodies where mummified, the flesh was dried on their their bones, it was as if someone sucked all the liquid in their bodies.
Their blue glowing eyes locked on me as they approached.

[Defeat All level 1Dragr]
>Additional Quest
: Defeat Level 2 Dragr
: Defeat the Dragr Lord
The dragr leading in front lifted it's two-handed sword and charged forward.
Novice Flames
As I thought about the spell a certain heat accumulated in my body running all the way to my palm, flame envolped in my hands.
I took a few steps backwards to create distance. I lifted my arms and aimed my hands at the incoming creature.
A Stream of fire left my hands burning the draugr. In seconds it fell down to the sand, I watched as the flames slowly melted it's body.
Two draugr tried to approach me from all sides.
'What a useless strategy.'
The draugr charged from my left side while the other one maneuverd from the right.
I flashed a smirk and spread my arms, Fire flew from both my hands burning the two draugr which where charging from the sides. They kept pacing forward but my flame incinerated every last bit of their remaining flesh, ending with their bodies dropping on the ground before they reached to where I was standing.
The third draugr marched forward carrying a shield and a sword.
I glanced at the sword about to strike me.
Ducking, the sword flew over my head.
'An opening.'
I immediately punched it in the ribs, and broke a few. My fist sent it staggering metres back, the draugr used it's sword for balance and got back to it's feet.
"Let me warm you up."
Using novice flames I realised fire from my hands, the draugr blocked with it's shield, I closed the distance to increase the intensity.
The flames should have covered it's whole body by now, but the shield absorbed the fire.
I felt like my energy was drained, I couldn't cast the fire spell anymore.
"You have exhausted all your mana, remember when your mana drops the regeneration time also increases, meaning mana will regenerate slower as it's about to be depleted." The system notified.
