"VICKI show me my stats." said Erik.
{Very well master} said VICKI

{It is noted that the hosts stats will increase with Age passively but host must also train}
Erik looked over his stats and was once again amazed, his strength had doubled over three years, his speed went up by half and durability went up by a fifth. He now also had system points.
"VICKI what are system points used for." he asked.
{System Points are used to purchase Skills and a various amount of other things}
{Host can only purchase one skills as of now since he is a infant and I recommend he buy it}
"Wow, and what skill might that be." he asked once again.
{Host can purchase Enhanced Stealth for 1 System Point. Would the host like to confirm?}
"Yes, confirm skill purchase."
{Right, confirmed the purchase of the skill Enhanced Stealth.}
{Enhanced Stealth is the skill of being a to completely erase ones presence if something were to take its eyes off of the host for a nanosecond the host would vanish completely. The host wouldn't even have to move from the spot he his standing in. The skill will deactivate once the host attacks and will have a cooldown of 60 seconds be careful when using the skill.}
That was a lot for Erik to take in he could basically disappear from the naked eye without moving. This skill will come in handy if the trip goes bad at any point in time.
Now it was time for him to set out with his friends he said goodbye to his father and grabbed the dagger his father gave him as a present for turning three. Now he was ready, he ran out of the longhouse and straight for the gate where his friends were waiting.
"Is everyone ready to go?" Erik asked the group as he arrived.
They all shook their head with a great determination.
The ground then stepped out of the gates and started the thirty minute walk towards Lake Bog. Ragnar asked Erik to tell them a story since he was the only one in the village who could read. Erik agreed and told the story of A Girl in The Forest.
//Once upon a time there was a girl dressed in a green cloak who lived in the middle of nowhere with her parents. She had been told by her father to go and visit her grandparents and take them some freshly caught Boar-deer. Her father warned her of wild creatures around and told her to be careful. She disregarded her fathers warning and ran off happily towards her grandparents. The Girl whose name was Frey came to a fork in the path and took the less dangerous path that led into the woods. As she entered the woods her presence was instantly known by a Bearer( A Bear with viper teeth and poison). She walked carelessly not caring for her surroundings all the animals around her fled with a great speed except for one. When she was almost clear of the forest and at her weakest moment the Bearer struck. It snatched her with a unexplained swiftness and the entirety of the Boar-deer but its hunger had not yet been satisfied and with one bit to the arm it had paralyzed and killed her with its potent venom. Once she stopped moving the Bearer at her whole and she was never heard from again. THE END.//
All the children clapped and cheered for the Bearer. How dare she defy the words of her elders and act so carelessly said some of the children.( These children aren't all three years old some of them are around seven years old and they are all Vikings) thought Erik.
Ragnar who was one of the seven year old's said," That is what she gets may she never enter into the gates of Valhalla ever." He then blew a raspberry and laughed with the rest of the children.
Just like that thirty minutes had passed and now they were at the lake. Erik told the others to wait where they were while he checked out the area out for wild animals. Something in the lake locked eyes with Erik and he was fully aware of its presence. He quickly shouted behind himself and yell," NO ONE COME ANY CLOSER."
All the children were now terrified and stood there frozen in place and didn't know what to do. Erik on the other hand drew his dagger and prepared to fight the beast that was getting ready to launch its attack.
In a instance the beast revealed itself, both it and Erik dashed at each other but right when this beast was about to attack the boy vanished before its eyes. Now, this beast was confused. It could had swore that there was an infant child here a few seconds ago. Next thing the beast knew was it was staring at its own body and then nothing.
{You have gained +5 to all stats for slaying Infant Beast and 3 System Points}
He Didn't even notice the update from the system due to all the adrenaline flowing through his body. Erik instead offered a prayer to the Gods and The Embodiment since they were what life and death really was. He then turned around and saw all the kids were now astonished at what he had just done.
"How did you do that?" Ragnar spoke up.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Erik confused
"You totally disappeared for a few seconds until its head was chopped off." said Ragnar still confused.
"I don't know i just side stepped as i dashed at it and chopped its head off." said Erik
Erik ignored all those around him and observed the animal he had just slain. Upon closer inspection the animal he saw was a Beargator it was a bear that could live underwater with scales instead of fur and from the looks of it, this one was a baby so that means there had to be an adult close by. Just as that thought crossed him mind a loud screeching roar was heard by all.
SCREEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRR!!!
Now walking out of the lake was a Beargator two times the size of the smaller one and it did not look happy.
