Chris looked above the ash of the two wendigos—a thin layer of golden mist was swirling there. She took in the power of the golden mist into herself as she had done with the red mist. She turned towards the last surviving ordinary-level wendigo and released the power that was churning within her at it—her hands upraised. The ball of fire erupting from her hands struck it and incinerated the monster. She had expected the fire as gold was the colour of fire affinity—thankfully she wasn't wrong. She turned, looking at Edwin, who was engaged in combat with an elementary-level wendigo. She squinted her eyes as she saw the battle between them. Something was wrong. It was just an elementary-level Wendigo. She knew Edwin's skill with his sword—why could it parry Edwin's sword so easily? She looked closer at Windigo and, to her horror; it had red markings along its black fur. It was an epic-level Wendigo. Sparks flew everywhere as Edwin Struck at the beast who blocked every one of his attacks

The crack in the air spread like a hammered mirror. The crack bulged towards Lindon. A pair of small, glowing white hands emerged from the bulging crack. The two hands tore the very fabric of reality apart. An oval-shaped hole hung in the air that led to eternal darkness. A translucent white female spirit stepped out of the hole in reality. The spirit was no bigger than Lindon's palm, but she had a human figure even though she mildly glowed with white light. Lindon let out a breath he had been holding for who knows how long. He couldn't help but tremble. A spirit had accepted his summons even though it took its blue moon. 'Thank the heavens.' The spirit wore something like a shirt and skirt, made from, it seemed—her own essence. His spirit was beautiful, even if she was slow. Why did she have to wait so long before accepting his summons? Lindon felt a tinge of anger brewing within him. He didn't want to be petulant, but he couldn't help it. He had been so scared for a minute there.

The ringing and the pain in Jimmy’s head stopped. Jimmy had never felt so... he had no words to explain how he felt. He could not help but weep for what felt like an eternity before going over the new feature he had unlocked.[Information: Core Smithing is the process of breaking down a single core of a higher level into multiple cores of a lower level or vice versa.][Available Smithing process:]Jimmy did not understand half of what he read on the system screen, so he read it aloud. He even wrote some words he could not read. Once he finished, Chris and Edwin had strange looks, wide-eyed, before looking at Jimmy.“Jimmy, are you sure it’s exactly what is written on the system screen?” Edwin said.“Y-yes.” The str

Half an hour later, Chris shook her head as she watched Edwin looking at the Earth Core they had removed from the Rockilla. He did not look happy. No, if anything, he looked ready to crush the Earth Core beneath his feet. Chris looked at the core greedily. However, she quickly shook her head. Chris did not know her affinity. Every person had a single affinity and cultivating a core outside of their affinity was like drinking a poison. Since she could not risk it. She had to wait. “All that trouble and what we get is just a measly ordinary core,” Edwin mumbled. Chris had a powerful urge to snatch that hammer from Jimmy and bash that scowling face of Edwin. Here she was feeling greedy for the ordinary Earth Core. And he... how dare he feel disappointed about it? Chris snatched the Earth Core from Edwin’s hand and tucked it in one of the many hidden pockets in her clothes. “What did you do that for? I was about to cultivate it?” “No.” “What do you mean, no? Give it back.” Edwin r

Linden sat on the floor of the training pavilion, specifically designated for him. His eyes were closed. As always, Riot spun around him like a mosquito.“What now?” Linden said.“Ugh! Why do you even want to train more? The only thing you do day and night is train, train and train even more. You lunatic. Don’t you have a life? A girl perhaps?” Riot zipped around him faster and faster like a mosquito excited for blood. “If not, you can still go out and explore, see the world. Meet strange people and revolting creatures. I don’t want to spend the rest of my eternal life cooped up in a room watching you train and sweat. Come on, let’s go out for a minute or two?”“If I want to reach the heights never seen by the people of Eronas, I don’t have time to waste in such frivolities. Now stop lounging about and tell me what to do.”Riot stopped right in front of his face, grumbling to herself. Linden ignored many of her nasty curses. “Fine,” she said.“First, find the position you are most com
