[-1 Hp]

Kaze felt it.

It felt as if something was being forced out of him, and he didn't like it.

A red box with an HP lost message appeared among all the rewards and level-up blue box-like messages.

"Status," Kaze said quickly.

Skill Cooldown: 24 hours>

Kaze had his mouth open, drolling uncontrollably; as a seasoned battle strategist, he understood the importance of stamina in a fight better than anyone. And this skill was simply giving an unlimited amount of it.

He began to spin the cogs of his mind. He had begun to lose his hp, and the seconds were ticking away.

"How much more distance to cover?" he asked the system without wasting more time.

Kaze had always been running towards his target location while he was escaping from the spiders. Despite the fact that he could easily cover 12 kilometers in the time allotted, his current body was not only physically weak, but also bruised and exhausted.

His stamina would quickly deplete without food and water, and walking on the arid red soil in the scorching heat of the brightly lit afternoon sun could even cause him to pass out.

As soon as he thought of the word 'Endurance,' the skill activated on its own.

He felt a cool breeze sweep over him as all of his tense muscles began to relax, and he felt as if he could run indefinitely without tiring. 'System, what are these skill points?' he asked the system through his thoughts as he hurriedly approached his destination.

'And what about the skill shop?', Kaze asked.

Host can use skill points to unlock or upgrade skills in the Skill shop>

Kaze said, 'Open skill shop'

Kaze noticed a lot more 'Skill locked' options, but none of them had any descriptions. He turned as the system reminded him that he needed to change directions every now and then while running. He'd covered nearly a third of the distance in less than an hour, thanks to his never-ending stamina and endurance.

'Why can't I see the other skills?' he inquired once more.

'Then what about this 'Rank low' written beside the skill shop', Kaze inquired once again.

<'System level' insufficient to access information>

Kaze was really irritated, he was getting more questions than answers, but he knew, if he wanted more information he had to upgrade the system level.

Although he didn't have enough Xp right now, and by his estimation, he had to wait untill he reached level 10 for his Xp bar to increase to 1000, but when it does, the first thing he would do would be to increase the system level, because information is crucial in any situation and Kaze knew that better than anyone.

He tried prying for the locked information in the hopes of getting at least something out of it, but the system never once revealed anything that was locked from access, and Kaze soon admitted defeat, concluding that he would need to investigate the system's origins when he had the opportunity.

After some more running tirelessly, Kaze reached the outskirts of a small fortified outpost moments before his skill's timeout.

He moved closer, and after a few minutes, he had a clear view of the entire encampment. Kaze immediately recognized the camp because it was from here, that he first arrived on the planet.

A hunting expedition organized by one of the most prestigious schools in the kingdom, the school he attended, and the school that was ranked third among the three most prestigious schools in the kingdom, "Avalor Academy", he spoke out loud.

---------------------------------------------

(Current Location -

Place: VIP quarters, Avalor Academy

Time: 2 days ago)

Three figures could be seen in a dim room; two of them appeared to be quite ordinary, around 16-17 years old and from a well-off family. They appeared to be in good shape for their age, but the standard of strength on this continent was vastly different, and they were nothing special in that regard.

The one in front surfaced to be a young boy of around 14 years old, and he appeared to have a higher social status than the other two. He was dressed in opulent clothing, the details of which were obscured by the dim lighting.

The room was immaculate, with not a speck of dust in sight. Many expensive items appeared to be strewn about the room, and a massive crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling.

"F***!" screamed the smaller boy, thrashing a flower pot on the ground that appeared to be expensive enough to feed a whole village for several days without worry.

"That bastard, son of a slave dare look at Elena," he continued shrieking loudly and agitatedly, not even attempting to keep his voice from reaching the outside.

The other two, who appeared to be his subordinates, seemed unconcerned about their lord making a ruckus, maybe due to the fact that a sound barrier had been set up around the room. One of them, the skinnier of the two and with a small goatee beard, stepped forward and said, "Yes, my lord, he is the son of a slave and holds no position in the Dutch, whereas Lady Elena is the most beautiful woman in the whole Avalor academy. His place isn't even beneath her feet "..

The other boy, who had a bulkier body and a mustache with whiskers came ahead. Not to be left behind, he said, "If anyone deserves to be with lady Elena, its you my Lord. You are the most handsome and are ranked in a much higher position than that piece of shit slave. Afterall you are the 5th heir of the Tiberius Duchy, Lord Gasper".

"Exactly, I still don't understand why father arranged the engagement of that slave dog with the most beautiful lady in the Avalor academy and the only daughter of the Inoaden Dukedom, Elena Inoaden."

"Yes, she is mine and mine alone, so if that good-for-nothing slave is intruding, I should simply remove him out of the way. You two, the hunting expedition to Goliath begins tomorrow right?, so kill him as soon as you find him alone and throw his body off somewhere. Anyone would assume he was killed by a beast; after all, he possesses no magical abilities, and then no one would be in the way of me and my Elena".
