Jack was sprawled in the mud, trying to catch his breath. The subtle voice of Heaven echoed in his ears.
[..You have received 2 points...]
Immediately, he felt a slight change. His body grew a little bit stronger, his vision a little sharper, his skin a little smoother. The change was minimal, but apparent.
'What was that?'
He had a guess, and it was easy to confirm. Jack summoned his system but just like before it doesn't work in this strange place.
' How is this even possible '
He tried to summon his points, but unlike before his stat for point appeared just at the side of his vision.
' This didn't work before.'
Jack had being trying to summon the Heaven system since he found himself in this strange place, he even tried summoning them one by one.
[ Level 1 ]. [ 6/100 points ]
Jack tried to summon another stat and just as expected it appeared.
[ Tool: Forge Sludge ( E Grade ) ]
[ Description: Pour the Forge Sludge on any piece of your choice, The Forge Sludge has a mind of it's own and can make any weapon it deems fit with the materials provided.
Jack had a frown on his face as he approached the dead Chitin Fiend.
' I can't use my gauntlet or armor, I can't use my powers, this place is shit.'
He carefully weaved a small bottle out of blue sparks, the bottle contained a strange shimmering liquid, he opened the bottle and poured it's content unto the metal piece not bothering to take it out of the monster's eye.
The metal piece quickly devolved into liquid and quickly turned solid leaving in place a sharp light sword. It was about a meter long, including the handle. The blade was straight and single-edged, ending in an angular tip. It was forged out of White steel, with a beautiful layered pattern. Deep inside the steel, white sparks could be seen.
The blade was single-edged, which meant that it was probably meant for slashing and cutting as opposed to piercing, Jack was expecting something like his gauntlet not some sword.
' Looks like It's a sword '
Also, the sword was pretty.
He tried placing the sword in his inventory but that didn't work. when he brought the sword out of the monster's eye a scabbard magically appeared around his waist.
' Now that's new '
Tool : [ White Blade].

'Huh. Interesting.'
Not very informative, but interesting.
'Well, now I guess I won't be caught slacking again'
After that, he cast a gaze at the corpse of the carapace scavenger and grimaced. Eh, this part was not going to be pleasant.
After some time, he managed to break open the cracked carapace and cut away a few strips of tender, pink meat. He also did not forget to extract the two radiant coins he found in the beast's chest.
[ You have received a Token: Grade E ( Chitin coin ) ]
[ Token: Two Chitin coins ]
With a shrug, Jack places the coin and the meat in a makeshift rucksack he weaved from black seaweed and looked at the sun.
The day was still young. He still had a good chance of making it to the distant hill before the sea came back. However, walking wasn't as easy as it was before. He gritted his teeth and began limping.
Hours passed. Due to his increased vigilance, Jack's progress slowed down considerably. He was sweating and grinding his teeth, the further he reached into the swamp the harder it gets to traverse.
'STICKY MUD'
'Crap, crap, crap…'
If nothing changed, Jack would not reach his goal. Which meant that he'll be crushed to death by the returning sea.
Not allowing himself to think about dying, Jack tried to walk faster. However, he couldn't be too hasty: making a wrong turn would have taken precious minutes away from him, so he had to choose the way carefully. Additionally, missing to notice another ambush could end his life directly.
'Curses!'
Just when he was beginning to feel desperate, he saw something that momentarily sent Sunny into a stupor.
Some distance further down the path, beyond a few turns, the corals widened, creating a small clearing. And in the middle of that clearing, someone was walking across the mud.
' A human '
' Two human '
The first thing Sunny saw was fair skin… a lot of skin. The Slender girl was only dressed in a makeshift skirt and a crude brassiere, both made out of seaweed. However, it didn't seem to bother her. With a calm expression, she stopped and looked back revealing her ethereal brown eyes. The wind was playing with her brown hair.
It was Aelle, The Flame Angel.
Two abnormally curved blades rest on her back and following right behind her was Iris.
' That's strange .'
