[You have completed a legendary achievement, 'I believe I can Fly!'!]
And close to it's heels, the sky, which was pretty close to him, lit up.
[Congratulations to player 'Verum Apeiros Voidborn' For being the first player to obtain a legendary achievement!]
[You have received, 'Glide', 'Shatter', and 'Storage Bracelet x5'!]
[Fame+200]
'Can't really check those right now, but glide and the bracelet seem self-explanatory, Meh, I'll confirm on the way down. maybe I'll get a reward when I reach then ten-thousand mark. But that'll be hard, the oxygen levels are already getting pretty low.' He thought, already having trouble breathing in the thin air in the surroundings. 'I don't think I will be able to get there. But let's keep going.'
He kept on going up, for some more time, but then decided that he would pass out soon if he didn't descend, So he jumped off the slab, and then used it to form a ball and a half below him as started descending.
Soon enough they started catching heat, and they did, Verum merged the two, making a bigger ball. 'Using my ride up as a way to not face wind resistance, neat. If I do say so myself.'
He fell, faster, and faster, till he reached the peak speed allowed by the wind. It took him only a few seconds to reach it, and as soon as he did, he got a notification.
[Achievement completed, 'Daredevil-Sky'!]
[Obtained, 'Fall resistance III', 'High jump III', 'Speedy fall']
'Sky? Then that means that there should be one for earth as well, maybe ocean and fire too.'
He was still very high above the ground, so he enjoyed the feeling of the fall for some time, he kept falling till he judged that he was 2 kilometers above ground, and then used his new ability, 'Glide'.

'I can maintain this forever!' He thought, as he pulled up, letting the rock descend. 'Woooooooo-hoooooooooooooooooo!'
To him, it felt exhilarating, drop down to gain speed, then pull up to fly, the feeling of being in the sky made the trip completely worthwhile for him. Of course, he didn't his objectives, and started making a huge circular path to map out a lot of the surrounding areas.
He was happily going up down up down, when he saw a patch of grey out of nowhere.
'Is that a castle? Finally, so this should be, 9 kilometers away if I'm correct.' After locating on his map, he strayed clear of it. Who knew whether they would welcome him or not, better not to take any chances. He continued his venture.
On the way, he came across another castle, this time 11 kilometers from his castle, he stayed away from this one as well. 'That's enough exploration, I've taken an almost complete circle now, time to head back.'
But only about eight hundred meters from this castle, he looked at what seemed to be, a tree house.
'If that a tree-house? Who made it? Certainly not those people, could it be a native?' After thinking for a bit, he decided to take a closer look, he was going to need to land soon anyway, he was only a hundred and twenty meters above ground at this point in time.
He landed softly, trying not to make any noise. He then walked towards the 'house', and when he got there, he ascertained that there had not been anyone living here for quite a while. The house was covered in climbers, and some of the wood seemed to be rotting. 'Empty house in the middle of the forest, either whoever lived here fled or died.' He quickly climbed up tree, and pushed the door.
It didn't open.
'It doesn't have a keyhole, is it jammed?' He thought, pushing harder, still nothing. 'Should I risk it? he wondered, 'Eh, doesn't really matter, I can easily escape.' He raised his fist, and punched the door, which shattered with a loud sound. 'Better be quick.'
He looked inside the house. A table, cot, bags, and bookshelf, there was not much inside there, so he decided to take everything except for the furniture, and after doing so, jumped out directly.
He landed, and turned home, when he heard growling. he turned around, and saw eleven wind wolves coming towards him. 'That's a lot of them, their den must be close by.' He made quick work of them, and got an unexpected drop.
[Obtained ???x5]
'Huh? What's this?' He held a small green-colored, octahedron-shaped crystal in his hand. 'It has a lot of mana around it. Is it a mana crystal?' As soon as he thought of that, the description of the item changed.
[Wind-element crystal]
'Oh, so it is a crystal then, but what is the use of this thing?' He kept it back, then started pondering,
'They came from this direction, maybe the den is very close, but there is a chance that it's not, and that it was complete luck and these wolves were out hunting. What should I do?' He thought of the pros, and the cons. And the pros were much more then the the cons.
He headed towards the direction the wolves came from.
He walked, and started coming across more and more wolves on his way, so to be safe, started jumping from tree to tree, and soon came across a clearing with lots and lots of wolves in it. Some small, some normal, and some bigger than others, but the one that really caught his eye, was the biggest one.
[Alpha Wind Wolf] [Lv:??] [Elite]
[HP: 2000/2000]
[MP: 700/700]

[???]
It was twice as big as the other ones, and it's fur was much more brighter. He could determine that it was roughly between two and a half, and three meters in height, and about four meters in length.
He crept closer to it, trying to get a better look, but something went wrong.
[You have discovered, 'Wind Wolf Den'! The wolves have noticed you!]
All the wolves looked towards him, and started rushing.
'Oh shit!'
He turned around, and started running.
