"Small lesser nature spirit? Is that me? That's sounds very weak. Oh, I have skills, Pain nullification? I hate pain, thank you very much, Nature's blessing? What is that?"
[Nature's blessing.]
[Nature's blessing, The ability to cast random elemental attack. The strength varies depending on the level of the skill. The elements that can be used are depending on the user's magic aptitude.]
His circular body almost jumped out of surprise. "Who was that? Is it just me, or I really did hear a woman's voice just now? I'm just good as dead but I'm certain that I'm not crazy! Who are you?"
[I am the guide of the traveler.]
"What do you mean traveler?"
He checked the information again and find what he was looking for in the titles.
"I have a title saying traveler, why do I have this title? Guide Lady?"
[Confidential information.]
"Very useful thank you, then who brought me here? Who is that God of war?"
[Confidential information.]
"I knew it. That God of war was pretty sketchy. I can feel it on my nerves that he's on for something. And by the way, guide lady. What's this lifetime left mean? Maybe I'm wrong but is this mean if the timer reaches zero, I would die? I'm sure that's not the case right? Guide lady?"
[Correct.]
"What do you mean correct! Doesn't that means if I didn't manage to evolve before my life timer runs out I'll end up dead?" He released a sound of sigh using his voice. "I need to evolve as soon as possible."
He directed his attention to his skills. "I have 1 skill point that I can use. For now, I'm gonna put it to Nature's blessing because this skill is the only offensive skill I have, even if it's heavily relying on RNG, and I still don't know what elements I have an aptitude with. Do you know what elements I have an aptitude for, Guide Lady?"
"Guide Lady?"
"Guide Lady? Do you hear me?"
"Oy!"
"Hmmm."
"Guide Lady, what is Pain nullification?"
[Pain nullification.]
[A skill that will reduce the pain from the damage inflicted to the user. The effect varies depending on the level of the skill.]
"What skill do I have an aptitude for?"
"There is definitely wrong with your program! Who made you!"
[Confidential Information.]
"I'm done with you! I'm just going to find it out myself."
He floated towards the exit of the cave rift he was in with his siblings. The cave rift was supposed to be a dark place but thanks to the lights coming from them the cave rift lit up.
"In order to level up, I need to kill something, but judging by the creatures I saw earlier, it's gonna be one hell of a task to be done. I don't even know how many I need to slay to evolve."
He reached the exit of the rift.
"Why are they just hovering here? Aren't they need to level up to evolve? I mean 30 days is not a long time. If they want to survive they need to move as soon as possible."
[The thick amount of mana around the area gave birth to the Nature Spirits, and by absorbing the magic particles around them, they can subsist until the time runs out.]
"That's... sounds tragic."
Without the need to kill something to survive made the nature spirit's life cycle starts and ends without gaining a single experience point. Propelling them as one of the most fruitless races of this world.
"It's sad because I'm starting to like you all, I'm about to name at least the first thousand of you. I guess we can't do anything about it. So long brothers and sisters! Enjoy your remaining days!"
He flew out outside the rift leaving the other Elemental spirits behind while they were just drifting in the air.
"So, where do we start?"
His gaze wandered around, what greeted him was a pitch-black cave. Even though he had a light coming from his body, it was inadequate to make any difference, given that he was just a half-centimeter ball of light.
Not too far he could hear the howling of a wolf. Driven by his own instinct he moved towards where the sounds coming from.
After a few minutes of floating, he finally reached the location. The part of the cave was still covered in darkness and the only thing that made him see the wolf was due to the wolf's red eyes that were glowing from the darkness.
He hid his radiant self to the stone near the wolf and observe the wolf while it was eating a carcass of some monster. From a human point of view, it was about 2 feet tall, but in his perspective, the wolf looks like a gigantic gray furred monster. He looks like nothing compared to it.
"Wow, it looks strong. Give me some information about it, Guide Lady!"
[Cave wolf LVL 2]
"Cave wolf? That's it? Anything else? What its skills?"
[Cannot analyze]
"What? Why! Useless! Useless!" He floated a little farther away from the wolf and searched for a place he could hide. "It can't be helped then, let's try if my level two skill could kill a wolf."
He positioned himself to the mouth of the small cave rift that he found, in case something went haywire.
"Now, the problem is, how can I activate my magic? Do I need to say something like kazoom? Magic brrr? Abracadabra? No? Or maybe I just need to focus the mana flowing inside my body like in games. If there is no risk of losing something, it won't hurt to try. I guess?" For a few seconds, he tried to channel the mana inside him.
"Come forth, Nature's blessing!"
[Magic aptitude has been successfully analyzed.]
[Activating skill...Nature's blessing.]
"That's what I called magic!"
Without any delay, a fire came out from his body and launched towards the wolf, with great precision the fireball hit the head of the wolf.
The wolf's glowing red eyes darted on him while a tiny bit of fire was in his head.
"hmmm, that's not what I expected."
The wolf scratched it out using its front foot and rushed towards his direction.
"This is bad!"
He quickly went inside the rift, the wolf tried to stick in its mouth but the rift was too narrow for the wolf's mouth to fit and at the same time he was already in the deepest part of the rift, his spherical body was trembling while looking at the raging wolf.
"That's the power of level 2 skill? I don't wanna know how pathetically weak the level one is! How can I level up with this skill?"
"This is the worst life ever!"
