Jake was excited as he stood up once more. Hawkie was confused about why he had asked to fly to the platform, only to sit his ass down and make weird faces for half an hour. The hawk had already decided that the human was a bit loony. His sanity was nearly as questionable as his flying skills.The bird couldn’t give up on its free source of potions that easily, though, so it had to put up with the hassle that was the human mind.To experiment with skills was one of Jake’s favorite things in the post-system world. He still fondly looked back at smashing into trees while practicing Shadow Vault. Learning and improving a skill was a never-ending process too, making it an endless entertainment source—the best part of skill practice, of course, being right at the beginning when it was all new.His first task was to find a suitable target to test it out on. While conjuring an arrow, he planned on doing at minimum two tests, to begin with—one against a real foe like a bird and one against th

Jake stood on top of the massive corpse of the Thunder Roc. He felt the gazes of hundreds of beasts upon him. They had all observed the battle before and looked at the human with a mix of confusion and fear.The innate suppression of rank was something they all knew. Of course, the power difference was genuine, but the deterrence was as much instinctual as it was based on pure power disparity. So to see an E-grade like them slay a D-grade juggernaut seemed impossible. Even more unbelievable was how quickly and easily the human had done so.All of their fear was transferred to the man who just stood there.Jake sighed as he dropped his Limit Break from 20% and let the weakness overtake him. He had learned long ago that while the weakness sucked, he could circumvent it by reactivating Limit Break at 20% again. It would make the next period more severe, but it was a way to avoid getting ganged up on when he dropped it.But he had a strong feeling none of the beasts would dare approach hi

Jake awoke from meditation and stood up, stretching a bit. It didn’t really do anything, as the system had thoroughly changed his physique, and he wasn’t even sure how things like muscles mattered anymore, but he still felt better after doing it.He looked toward his target in the distance and saw that the Storm Elemental had confidently moved closer to the giant tree to soak in its mana. Jake had clearly ruined the natural balance that the Thunder Roc and Storm Elemental had created by killing one of them…So wouldn’t it only be fair to finish off both?His tactic for the Storm Elemental would be far different, however. Instead of just fighting it straight up, he would challenge himself another way…Jake had always been pretty decent at long-distance shooting, and he had to admit that he’d always admired the longbowmen. Jake remembered that the longest range ever achieved with a longbow was a bit less than three hundred and fifty meters, and that wasn’t even with any focus on accurac

Meira wiped the sweat off her forehead as she sat down to take a rest. Her sweat was not only due to the strenuous task she was performing, but the heat it was done in. Drinking from the water bottle, she thanked her parents for emphasizing the importance of investing Free Points into physical stats despite being an elf.Looking to her side, she saw her father and mother both still working to fill the cart and get the shipment ready for their supervisor. It was hard work, but her family knew that their small clan was lucky to have it. To even still exist.A few thousand years ago, their clan had been rather prevalent, their matriarch even being a mighty B-grade powerhouse. While it wasn’t much on a Great Planet like Primordial-4 as a whole, it had been quite something for this fringe area.That was, until the mine was discovered. One day, a party of explorers from their clan had found a hidden pocket dimension with a great mine. One where materials worth more than their clan’s collect

It took another day to once more reconfigure the magic circle for Jake’s new addition. Both hawks were more than happy with doing the extra work required to use the Beastorb.Their egg had been slowly fed mana for the last one and a half months as it slowly grew, but here, toward the end, they had slowed it down to do a final push. A final infusion of energy and Records to kickstart the growth and boost their chick’s future potential.Jake had inadvertently become a part of it all, as he spent most of his time observing the birds redraw the formation while trying to understand how it worked. Quite honestly, he wasn’t doing well, but he did get a few ideas.He also helped speed the entire thing up a bit by liberally giving out mana potions, allowing Mystie to work even faster.After the entire thing was done, they all went to their positions. Three focal points were created inside the formation, each corresponding to an item. Of course, Jake was aware of the Beastorb and the Storm Elem
