In a cave big enough to hold a dozen buses, there stood a man massacring a bunch of cute little brown goblins. The Goblin King was losing control of his anger as he saw his men being massacred one by one without him being able to do anything.

"This is not really up to the mark. Don't you think so too?" I smiled as I wiped the goblin's blood off the dual blades, before turning to the giant goblin who was looking at me with fury.
"DIE!!" he spoke as he looked at me with a 'not so polite' expression.
"Why do you get angry? It's not like I killed your entire army for just some experience. Oops, wait! I did," I spoke as I dodged his giant wooden mace, before climbing up on it.
"I honestly don't need to use any skills on you too… but since you are the boss monster, I will do the honors," I smiled as I dashed up his arm, reaching near his face in a flash,"I promise it has nothing to do with increasing the chances to upgrade the skill."
[One Way Out!]
[Strength has been maxed out!]
[Frenzy!]

"Serious series…. serious punch!" I acted the part as I turned serious before…

"Well. From here onwards, it would be near impossible to upgrade this skill anymore," I sighed on the inside before I looked in the direction where I came from.
"Anyway. Since I have a rough idea of the situation," I nodded as I looked at the System once again.
[Choose a Class!]
[Mage]
[Unlocks the path to magic!]
[Warrior]
[Unlocks the path to body strength!]
To begin with, there were only starting classes in the game. Though that doesn't mean that was all there was to it.
A [Mage] can evolve into a [Magician], [Sage], [Grand Mage], [Necromancer], etc, depending upon the skills he chooses or the path he takes. Similarly, [Warrior] can evolve into [Swordmaster], [Archer], [Berserker!], etc.
It was all possible through the [Skill Tree], that allows you to choose various paths you wanted to take through your life course. You get a chance every 10 Levels, either to add a point to your skills or to unlock a new skill.
[You have selected the Mage Class!]
[Congratulations on your first step towards the path of magic! May fortune light your way!]

[Mana Ball(Common)!]
[Effects: Allows the user to create a ball of mana and throw it at the opponent! Does no damage!

My eyes then looked at the [Skill Tree] options that I had for now.
[Choose Your Mana Path!]
[Fire!]
[Water!]
[Ice!]
[Electricity!]
[Nature!]
[Earth!]
[Air!]
[Dark!]
[Light!]
Each path takes 1 Skill Points to unlock. And since, I was going against dark forces..
[-1 Skill Point!]
[You have chosen the Light Path!]
Three bubbles popped out of the mana option, each of them connected to the main circle by a thread.
The three bubbles read the following option…
[Light Mana Ball!(Locked)!]
[Effect: Allows you to cast a mana ball that does 100% damage to your Wisdom!
-2x Time damage towards the creature of the dark!

[Allows the user to channel mana into indefinite form that allows you to create more possibilities!]

"Since I have this now… let's now survive for at least a week before saving the skills," I nodded at myself as I began moving out of the den, making my way towards the kingdom a few 100 miles away from here.
I am not giving up the quest… I just need to have enough skills to formulate a plan that would save the city without letting Amir be involved.
"Guess… it's a little earlier, but we are meeting that person," I still get chills even thinking about it.
"The Saint of Arelia, the Goddess of Light, huh? I wonder if she is still the same as before," I sighed and shook my head before moving towards the Aurelian Kingdom. The one that serves that [Church of Light]...
[One Way Out!]
[Frenzy!]
Running through the desert, I more or less didn't die as I looked back at the city, which was going to die any moment now. The entire kingdom would be in chaos right after the incident takes place, so I need to find her as fast as I can.
The later I will be, the more difficult it would be for me to make contact with her.
And with that in mind, I began running even faster than before. While it was quite far, with my increased [Dexterity], it shouldn't be entirely impossible to do it. I just need to get my timing right.
"Seems like I am about to get the whole kingdom involved in this quest of mine…" I couldn't help but wonder just how much it will take to complete this quest.
