Five days since the event with the Wildhands. Clay again was in a fierce battle. "Flank them, I am pushing on-site... What!? This guy is definitely using his blessing. How is he so smooth and fast." Clay said while looking at his PC. He was playing a PC shooter game with his school buddies.
"Clay you are excited about the new VR. They say with the new faster chips coming VR will become more realistic."
"Well VR now is pretty realistic. The reason it's not as popular as it could be is due to it being too annoying to use. If they perfect the pods like in the movies. Then it would be cool." Replied Clay as he exited the game he was playing. "I am done for now you guys keep playing, bye." Turing off his PC, Clay got up and started to stretch.
'I need to get back to the grind. Enough with this mental fatigue.' After coming back from the starlight dimension Clay didn't continue his plan of going to the forest and working on his affinity. Instead, he took a mini break and just hung out with Tina and his friends. The kidnapping of WaterFall, him killing a person with the combined stress of everything that happened before made Clay take a break to laze around.
'First, let's Rank up to Rank-2. I will just tell the association that the number of abilities I can hold has increased.' Clay wore black shorts and a coffee-colored t-shirt. He then got out of the house into his car. "Autopilot take me to the association." As Clay's parents still didn't know Clay was very rich. He couldn't get a new car so he just upgraded his current car.

"You are so tiny. I at least expected you to be 7 feet." Snickered Natalia. Clay kept staring at her with a straight face. "Don't be scared, you did nothing wrong. I understand you. I have a unique blessing too. Thinking I am specially selected by the Wind Dimension, I told everyone I was just a wind mage. Of course, I got caught soon after that." Smiled Natalia trying to warm up the conversation.
Clay nodded his head in response. Seeing that Clay was still not talking, Natalia got disappointed. "If you feel uncomfortable talking to me it's fine. You can go and use the orb. Have a safe ranking journey" Clay nodded again and then got up and walked out the door.
'Such a coward. Why would a dimension waste so much of its blessing power on him? Sister Andrianna said that my unique blessing required the same power as blessing one million different people... The dimension that blessed him has no other blessings recorded, so it's possible it's a newly awaken dimension or maybe he has a unique constitution allowing him to get blessed by that dimension.

Clay walked into a white circular room that had a red orb floating in the middle. 'It's almost been three months since I got blessed. Time went by so fast.' He walked towards the orb and then gently placed his hand on it.

'What? Updated. What is this?'
Rank-1 Class: Novice Environment Explorer
> Rank up requirement not met <
> Kill more beasts to rank up <
'Is this a bug patch by Mother Earth? It really must be her first blessing for her to make such a mistake. I can rank up now. Well, I probably could rank up before but now it's structured so it's easier for me to understand my progress. Rank-1 to Rank-3 is just killing monsters. If my ranking is similar to everyone else. I will need to do a class trial at Rank-3 to reach Rank-4... Kinda wish Mother Earth would talk to me like some of the other dimensions do to their blessed.'
After finishing up his work at the association Clay drove to the forest in his car. 'My plan for now is to get 40% in Arboreal, after that I will go to the nearest bone dimension and If I manage to get a bone hardening skill, then I will go to the Musculi dimension and try to kill elite-level beasts to complete my will... It's nice to have my immediate future planned like that.'
