I tried using Creation again, but this time with an iron sword, and finally an iron sword appeared in my hands.
After I created the sword I felt like something disappeared in my body.
I opened my status and looked at my stats.

My mana was reduced to half after creating a sword. So the cause of that disappearing feeling was my mana being used for the sword.
But, only a 100 was used for a sword, that's great I can create another one if ever the one I created gets destroyed or I need a new one.
I closed the status window and wandered around the area to find the red goblin.
After an hour of searching, I finally found the goblin. The goblin was wandering around the forest like a person who has lost his purpose in life.
"Kiek?!"
I hid behind the trees and sneaked closer to him. But, the goblin noticed my presence somehow and was now holding his dagger.
'Fuck.'
I was gonna sneak up behind it and kill it quickly before it could notice me. Now that I was exposed it was useless to sneak up behind him and attack him from the back. I can only face the goblin head-on now.
I dashed to the goblin and slashed my sword down. The goblin was fast to react and quickly dodged to the side and cut my left forearm.
"Ugh..." I grimaced at the pain.
I examined the cut made by the goblin, and it was shallow, thankfully the dagger didn't go too deep.
"Keke!" The red goblin grinned and laughed at me.
"Cocky bastard."
Veins protruded in my face as I watched the goblin mock me. This goblin is quite intelligent, unlike those goblins you see in novels.
I dashed at the goblin once again and slashed my sword down again and the goblin stepped back.
"Keke!" The goblin laughed at my attempt.
But, I wasn't done yet. I immediately changed my posture, and I threw my sword at the still-laughing goblin.
"Kek?!"
the goblin was surprised by my sudden throw and was caught off guard. The goblin blocked the sword with his dagger.
I tackled the goblin and we both fell to the ground, I held the red goblin's right arm holding the dagger with my left.
"Knife!" I shouted as I raised my right arm and a knife materialized on my hands.
"Kiek??!!" the goblin was surprised at my sudden tackle and the suddenly materializing knife.
I brought my knife down and it penetrated through the red goblin's body and I repeatedly stabbed it until it finally died.
"Kek..."
I got up from the corpse of the red goblin. It was my first time killing something, and the feeling of stabbing is something that I don't like, But if there are monsters like this goblin everywhere then I must get used to it.
"Haa..." I sighed thinking about more goblins.
As I was thinking about the future, a notification appeared in front of me.
[You have obtained the skill: Focus (F+)]
"Oh?" I exclaimed in surprise.
I didn't expect to get a skill so soon, and it's focus too something I would need if I want to fight more goblins.
After I closed the skill notification. My long-awaited reward finally came.
===
Congratulations! You have completed the quest.
You have obtained the quest reward: [Seed of Potential] (EX)
===
After the reward notification appeared in front of me. A small golden seed materialized on my palms.
"So this is the seed of potential..." I muttered in awe.
The seed felt like it contained something very powerful inside just by looking at it. The seed had a very bright golden glow around it which made it look even more precious and holy.
But, the problem was that didn't know how to use it. I should probably try and ask the system.
"How do I use this seed?" I questioned the system, and a notification appeared in front of me.
[The seed can be used by swallowing it.]
"Alright," I said as I brought the seed over to my mouth and swallowed it.
"...I don't feel any different."
I thought that something would happen to me, but I didn't feel anything. I opened my status window and looked to see if anything changed.

"Oh?"
Even if I didn't feel any changes in my body, my potential still changed. My potential is now infinite instead of C+.
"It's great that I could obtain an item to change my potential or else I would be stuck in C+ rank forever..."
I shuddered at the thought of it.
I don't want to be stuck being a C+ rank all my life.
"Now that my potential is infinite can I become the strongest?" A grin appeared on my face, I felt happy just thinking about me becoming the strongest.
I looked at my status again and saw that my mana was dangerously low. I wonder what will happen if it reaches zero.
"System, what will happen if my mana reaches zero?"
[Your body will automatically enter the dormant state and will wake up after the mana is fully recharged.]
"So, If I use up all my mana in the middle of a fight, then I'd be a free meal? That's dangerous. Thankfully, it only took 90 mana to make a knife or else I would be the one lying down right now." I sighed as I looked at my remaining mana.
"How do I restore my mana?" I questioned.
[Mana will automatically restore if the body is sleeping.]
"Hmm... If I use creation to create mana then can I get more mana?? Let's test it out." I muttered and my eyes widened at the thought of it.
If I could create mana with my creation then wouldn't that mean it's overpowered?
"Create mana"
