Beromi continues walking on the plain of snow, at the same time scouting the area. "Where can I settle... hmmm?" He spots a small cave to his right, so he heads towards it.
Inside was dark and much warmer inside then the outside.
He is still cautious from what Rein said; this world might be dangerous. So, when he first goes into the cave, he raises his guard slowly entering the cave. "What ability can help me in this situation....Oh, I could just create an ability with Spirit Reform. The only problem is, what ability?"
Beromi settles on the cave floor, not wanting to go further, but he must to check for any dangers. "I know! How about this?" He closes his eyes to enable the creation of that skill. "Spirit Reform: Create Spirit Sense." As he says that,an ability forms right next to the spirit reform like a skill tree structure, he now has two abilities: Spirit Reform and Spirit Sense.

Spirit Reform:
-Spirit senses

"Spirit Sense." As he said those words, he was now able to detect if there were any threats deeper in the cave by scanninganything from vibrations or aura. When he saw none, he was able to relax a bit but still stayed cautious.
Some hours passed by, and it was getting dark. During those hours, Beromi was strategizing how to utilize his time:
1. During the night, he would try creating some abilities to help him survive.
2. He would do physical training, so it would be easier to use the abilities.
3. He needed to cover more ground because he was hungry.

The next morning, after doing some physical training—push-ups, running around the cave a couple of times, meditation, and simple martial arts training—it was time to put these abilities and training to the test.
Walking away from the cave, Beromi covers more ground, looking for any potential prey. After hours of walking in the thick snow, he was about to give up. "Man, I'm hungry," he thinks, but then, at the corner of his eye, he sees some beings walking as a group."who are they?" Beromi moves closer, trying to be stealthy, hiding behind every rock he can find as he approaches them.
"Wow, I've never seen those kinds of beings before; they look like half-wolf people," Beromi thinks as he gets a good look at them.
They look human, with rather light clothing for this cold. They had white wolf ears and a long, bushy white tail. "That fur looks soft; I wish I could touch it," Beromi thought.
Then, out of nowhere, a white wolf tail brushed against Beromi's face. "Here touch mine," a wolf girl said to him.
"Thanks! Wait!" Beromi jumped back in a panic; he had been discovered by one of them—a pretty but short-looking wolf girl with blue eyes.
"H-how did she get passed my senses"beromi thought
"I've never seen a human around these parts before. You are rather interesting," the wolf girl said as she sniffed the air around him.
"Who are you?" Beromi asked nervously.
She stood up with a confident look but did not show any facial emotions. "My name is Mia, the first general of our wolf kin tribe. And you, sir?"
"I am Beromi, a human and exorcist," Beromi said with an awkward smile.
"Ex-orc-ist? Huh... never heard of that class, but for some reason, you have a very weak mana pull. However, I can sense you are strong," Mia said.
"Mana pull? Maybe it's because I'm using soul energy instead of magic," Beromi thought, then Beromi's stomach rumbled.
"Oh, you're hungry! I know! What if you help us in our mission? The reward would be big," Mia suggested.
"I guess I can take that offer, but what does this mission bring for me?" Beromi asked.
"Well, you have to find out when we get there," Mia replied, then she gestured for him to follow her. "I will explain what the mission is about over some dinner."
"Okay."
"Well, this is getting suspicious," Beromi thought.
