I took in long breaths as I slumped against a tree corpses of hundreds of monster drops surrounding me, most of them bones effectively making it looked like a graveyard.

Along with the bones were other small items such as claws, horns, copper coins, and ectoplasm. My sword was currently pierced through a skull and a tree 50 feet in front of me.

In my hand was a horn from a gazelle like creature that got mixed into the animals. Whatever it was it proved useful for me since I killed a few with it.

Wounds were littering my body in the hundreds as blood covered a good amount of my body, no wounds as deep as the ones I got from the drake but some were bad enough that I needed to apply herbs to them.

But to regain some HP I raised the makeshift weapon in my hand to my mouth and took a bite from it. It tasted like dried up jerky to me as I snacked on my weapon, the tough bone breaking easily under my teeth as it was almost as easy as eating an apple.

Still as I ate my snack as I watched the sun slowly rise over the horizon as the last remaining astral souls dispersed.

I had killed the last possessed corpse a little bit ago and right now I needed a good nap. But I was too afraid to fall asleep with my HP where it was.

[Health 900/27500 ]

Let's just say dealing with nearly 500 lv-100 enemies kind of wiped me out, even if most of them were dead in two or three hits I still had to dodge and retreat.

I wasn't used to facing so many enemies by myself, normally I had a friend with me or some sort of invulnerability. Still I was forced to admit that I was lucky to survive the night.

I was also lucky my HP had gotten a bonus after Gaia had taken control of me. She said it was something to do with the size of my mana channels in my body which apparently increase HP and MP when they grow larger.

After using them to the point in which they almost broke they healed and came back nearly 4 times stronger.

Now my HP goes up 500 each level and MP goes up 250 each level and amounts can go up more and more.

Also another thing I noticed while killing all the stupid astral monsters was that the brand on my chest bled when they were around me.

I guess you could call it my early warning system for astral beings and {empowered} since I felt a slight tinge of pain when it bled.

But as I munched on the horn in my hand and stared at the sun I slowly sighed.

"Still 500XP each still kind of sucks." I said remembering the pitiful XP each of those astral beasts gave me.

Even killing 500 wasn't enough to level me up once so I was down in the dumps seeing as I didn't level up.

[Quest: Survive the night and live to see the morning. Complete! Awards will be given in a second!]

I blinked a few times staring at the box as I had completely forgotten about the quest to survive the night.

But after a second something appeared in front of me, 10 small silver coins dropped in front of me and a scroll tied with a simple string. But as I waited there was still no level up signal as I sighed.

'How much more XP do I need?' I asked myself as I brought up my XP bar for my main level.

[Xp: 408,760/2,485,800(1/5) =497,160]

"So close." I grumbled as I looked at my loot after I polished off my gazelle horn and got back 5% of my health.

After I swallowed the last bit of that, no pop up sounded so I guess there was some skill with the horn but then again I didn't suspect much from it. I then looked towards my loot first thing first. The silver coins went into my inventory.

Thankfully coins went into a special place so they didn't take up space in the inventory. But after that was done I looked at the plain ass scroll in my hand, actually it was more like a piece of paper rolled into a cylinder.

"Hmm." I said as I slowly undid the string holding the lame scroll together. The second it did a screen suddenly popped out in front of me.

[lv-1 magic scroll opened. Please select one skill to level up one time.]

I was surprised to say the least, an item that instantly lets me level up a skill, who didn't want that? But as I looked at it I started to think about what skill to level.

I knew I couldn't just waste this so I had to choose wisely. So I asked the smartest person I knew at the moment, even if she was useless most of the time.

'Any ideas?' I asked Gaia who hadn't spoken for the last few hours.

'I would use it on your [Consumption Absorption] skill, but then again it could be useful for higher to level skills so maybe your [Ancient Greek swordplay].' She said as I slowly nodded seeing her point.

'Hmm…I think I will save it, who knows what kind of skill I will get and I just happen to need it for it. Maybe if I get a few more magic scrolls later I will use it on a skill, for now I will save it.' I said as she seemed to nod.

'Your choice.' She said as I nodded and retied the string on the scroll as the box disappeared.

As it did I put the magic scroll back in my item box and slowly stood up. As I did I slowly stood up and stretched my aching body as I heard cracks and pops.
