Well after clearing up the bodies and asking the system if we are able to cook the goblins( answer was yes which was good I guess) we gathered some sticks and made our own fire in the cave just as darkness descended onto the land. Goblin meat strangely tasted pretty good, after talking with Rex for a little while, I took up first watch so Rex could get some sleep. In the meantime I'm gonna figure out what the mana thing is about and if we're capable of learning magic possibly. (So system, I noticed that we have mana, are we capable of learning magic?) "Yes you can, you'll just need to learn how to first use your mana and how to feel it." (so like meditation or?) "yes meditation would work, your mana would be located towards your heart, though I will suggest for you to attempt this when your ally is on watch" (could I ask why?) "when someone is meditating they are actively gathering mana into themselves causing monsters to become more aggressive, monsters that are in a similar mana level or higher would come to hunt you."( in other words certain death at our current level?) "yes"
that's great to know. Wonder if Rex plans to learn magic. I silently watched the entrance and occasionally checked on Rex, did this for about five hours before finally going to wake up Rex for his turn.
He was a bit grumpy then just looked at me for a solid minute before saying" welp this definitely wasn't a dream, great this is just great." he grumbled as he got up and picked up his axe and took the position that i used to watch the entrance as I took my turn sleeping.
When sunlight bathed the land again is when Rex decided to wake me up, by kicking me in the gut. As I was coughing all I heard was "revenge hurts doesn't it bud?" as I look up to meet his eyes he's just laughing at me. As I get up and start stretching I see that his axe had some blood on it and there was a fresh gray goblin being cooked up. He had a smile on his face "seems some goblins didn't like us taking over this cave huh?"
"How many?" and just looked at me like a idiot and simply said "one"
I asked him if he would be ok staying watch for a while so I could try to learn magic.
He seemed surprised for a minute but shortly after realization crossed his face.
He just nodded and went back to watching the goblin meat.
As he nodded I went and sat beside the wall of the cave next to a white crystal while trying to focus on the location near my heart. I felt something icy cold near my heart become active.
New skills acquired
Meditation- lvl 1/10 (regen mana 25% faster) cost nothing
Mana manipulation- lvl 1/50 (mana control) cost 15 mana per minute
I stay still and slowly try moving the mana out of my body, as I open my eyes I see a purple wave slowly move around me. I try to move it to my palm but as it comes closer I lose control over it and it disappears into the air. Rex just smiles "so you gonna heal my ass here on out?" "I'll keep you alive if that's what you're asking." I give a small smirk at the idiot." So, any clue on what we should do?"
