His system was taken aback when Ren suddenly groped Casen's clothes.
[What are you doing, Host?]
"I'm looking for my spoils of war." he gave an honest answer. "He is a bandit, so he should have many valuable items."
[Spoils of war? Do you mean you want to loot him?]
"Well, something like that." He did not deny it because he wanted to take Casen's belongings.
[Then you should take his space ring, Host.]
"Space ring?" he stopped what he was doing and stared at the ring on Casen's left index finger. "Do you mean this ring?"
[That's right, Host. It's a space ring.]
His system told him what the space ring was.
His system said the space ring was a handy tool that could store any item, material, etc. With a mere thought, the owner could store or retrieve the items at will.
Space rings were made by mages who specialized in space magic, so it was in the category of magical items.
Ren took the space ring and stared at it.
"You mean this ring has a feature like inventory?" there was no space ring in his previous life, so he did not know anything about it.
[That's right, Host. Send your consciousness into the ring, and you will see the items inside it.]
Ren did what he was told and checked the space ring.
He saw 3 gold coins, 30 silver coins, 300 copper coins, a tent, a pillow, and several beast cores.
[Host, transactions in this world are different from those in your previous world. In this world, they use gold, silver, and copper coins as their transactions.]
His system said 100 copper coins were equal to 1 silver coin, and 100 silver coins had the same value as 1 gold coin.
If they changed it to the currency in his previous life, 1 gold coin was the same as 1,000 bucks.
'Then my first harvest is not bad.'
He smiled happily when he knew the value of the items in the space ring.
'I will move the beast cores to my space ring.'
He decided to move all the beast cores to his space ring because he wanted everything in his inventory to be items that were only related to his system.
'Now, it's time to kill one more 2-star magical beast. After that, I will find a place to stay the night.'
Coincidently, he found a 2-star deer not far from him.
Like his fight against Flame Cat, Ren could kill the deer easily because the deer was weaker than the Flame Cat.
[Ding! The quest is complete.]
[Ding! Host has received 80 points, 50 system exp and Ice Clone card. Host can find the card in the inventory.]
Unlike before, Ren did not check the card immediately.
The sun was setting, so he needed to find a place to sleep.
'I will take one of the deer legs for dinner.'
He put the deer's leg into his space ring before finally using the Lightning Movement skill.
----
Forest, Cave.
Ren was currently sitting on a stone platform.
He had just finished setting up a tent, so he decided to grill a deer leg.
'It takes about forty minutes to cook a deer leg. I will use that time to absorb beast cores.'
He had sixty beast cores in total.
Unfortunately, only five of them were at 2-star.
The rest were 1-star beast cores.
'I will absorb the 2-star beast cores first.'
He put the beast cores in front of him before finally sitting in a lotus position.
After that, his circulated his energy and enveloped the beast cores with his energy, causing them to levitate.
Ren did not absorb all the beast cores at once.
He emptied one of them first before finally moving to the other beast cores.
*Crack…Crack…
Crack lines appeared on the beast core after he absorbed a quarter of the energy inside it.
After the energy in the beast core was completely drained by him, it broke into pieces and fell to the ground.
He divided the beast cores in a ratio of three to two: three for his Mage class and two for his Warrior class.
He divided like this because his Mage class was still at 1-star.
'I've emptied all the beast cores. It's time to eat now.'
He grabbed the meat and consumed it slowly.
As he was enjoying his meat, his system informed him about the methods to become a powerful awakener in his current world.
[There are three methods for you to become a powerful awakener in this world, Host.]
First, it was absorbing the spiritual energy from the nature directly. Second, it was absorbing the energy in beast cores.
And lastly, he used the points given to him after completing a quest.
[Absorbing energy from the beast cores is preferable to absorbing spiritual energy directly from nature because it's much easier.]
His system told him that most awakeners in this world preferred to absorb the energy in beast cores.
[But in some cases, it's better to absorb the spiritual energy from nature directly because some places in this world have very rich energy.]
"I see." the methods to become stronger were a little different from his previous life.
In his previous life, they needed to train their bodies first.
If they were talented enough to become the candidates to be the Ruler, they could feel the energy and use it to help them grow stronger.
And in his previous life, they could create anything with the energy of heaven and earth, so it all depended on how rich one's imagination was and how high his/her talent was.
The downside was that one person could only manipulate one element.
However, that rule no longer applied after they became the Ruler because the Ruler could manipulate all elements.
"System, show me the status window." Ren suddenly remembered that he got many points from completing the quests.

'Hmm?'
He saw a + symbol next to Warrior Exp and Mage Exp.
'I see.'
After recalling his system's words, he understood everything.
Previously, there was no + symbol next to Warrior Exp and Mage Exp, but at that time, his accumulated point was zero.
He believed the + symbol appeared because he had points now.
'Let me see.'
He returned his attention to Warrior Exp and Mage Exp.
'I will use all my points to increase my Mage Exp.'
He needed 4,880 points for his Warrior class to break through to the next level, while he only needed 820 points to become a 2-star mage, so he put all his points into Mage Exp.
