As agreed, and the two started walking through Vntis. The city was quiet, as fewer people were on the street. While strolling, Grishna spoke, ''''Are you excited about doing your first quests?''''


    He nodded before responding, ''''Yes, I''m looking forward to it. I''ve never done one before, so it''s new to me, but I''m also excited.''''


    The orc girl nodded, ''''Being an adventurer is something special as we see things that normal people would never believe; I''ve loved being one and can''t wait to rank up,'''' she said excitedly.


    Following that, the duo continued traveling around Vntis and admired the sights they encountered. Soon enough, no one was on the streets, so they returned to the inn. It took them ten minutes to get back and enter their room.


    Everyone was still asleep, and Grishna walked toward her bed and copsed before falling asleep. Asughed at the older girl and joined Amethyst. The Phoenix girl snuggled up to him while Lilith climbed on his feet, making As smile as he fell asleep.


    Neither knew that people were following them through the city, keeping watch. As As slept, he dreamt of three young elf women engaged in the battle against monsters in a vast blue desert, mirroring the vision he had seen earlier.


    They wielded stunning des that shimmered with an azure glow, much like his own eyes. While watching that, three stars slowed overhead, which confused As. He watched their journey across thend until they reached Thssar City, the capital of the Thssia Empire.


    Something told him to head there to meet them, but he had no clue how to get there. That''s when the dream changed to one of an icy wastnd that stretched as far as his eyes could see.


    While looking around, As spotted a massive pr bear monster rushing across thendscape. A sabertooth tiger chased behind her as another star shone high in the sky, causing him to think, ''Stars again? Maybe they''re part of the thirteen stars of the Azhar''Zul Constetion.''


    Soon enough, As woke up only to notice the sun wasn''t up, and he felt refreshed. While lying there, he decided to try the Void Realm again. Without wasting any more time, he activated the skill.


    His consciousness was sucked into the strange realm, and he reappeared in the forest. As shook his head before checking the total of Void Raptors and Warriors he needed to kill before searching for Death Valley to deal with the guards.


    [Void Raptors - 787/1000]


    [Void Raptor Warriors - 3/4]


    [Death Valley monsters - 1000/1000]


    [King Void Raptor - 1/1]


    ''This is going to take a while, but at least I can get experience using my spells and skills,'' As mused as the Void Raptors roars rang out through the forest.


    He nced around only to see a group of ten rushing toward him, their ck eyes gleaming with malice. As raised his hand and cast three Void sts that sliced through the air and mmed into the monsters.


    A small explosion erupted, but As pressed on, unleashing Void Bullets that wreaked havoc on the Void Raptors, transforming them into azure motes. Suddenly, more monsters emerged, apanied by a towering warrior raptor.


    He managed to use Void Sight on the warrior.


    [Void Raptor Warrior]


    [Rank: D]


    Despite the new threat, As remained poised. He cast Void Step, disappearing and bewildering the creatures. Instantly, he reappeared amidst them, unleashing a devastating Void Wave attack that caught the Raptors off guard.


    Chaos erupted as the Void Raptors lunged at As, who used Void Step to avoid the attacks while casting his spells at them. The azure projectiles tore through the monster''s bodies before exploding in front of the creatures behind them.


    As battled against dozens of Void Raptors, converging from all directions. Despite his agile dodges and counterattacks, several managed tond blows, including one monster mped down on his shoulder, causing him to let out a pained scream.


    He blew the monster''s head off using Void Bullet but destroyed his left arm, which was out of service. The Void Raptor Warrior swiped at him with its tail, but As braced himself while casting Void Guard.


    An azure shield suddenly appeared and deflected the attack, sending As skidding back with an ache in his joints but not injury. Three Void Raptors lunged at him, but he cast a Void Wave that annihted the creatures.


    As continued killing the monsters while dodging the warrior''s sudden attacks until the raptors stoppeding. He was breathing heavily before checking the total after destroying so many.


    [Void Raptors - 775/1000]


    ''Nearly halfway there; shouldn''t take too long to clear this counter,'' he mused before facing the Void Raptor Warrior as the bigger monster charged at him.


    It rushed forward while letting out a menacing growl. As it got closer, As cast Void Step, only to vanish as the monster crashed into the spot where he was just out. He reappeared above the warrior and dropped on its back.


    The monster was startled, thrashing wildly as it realized As was clinging to its back. Undeterred, he maintained his grip and swiftly cast a Void Arrow into the warrior''s head, causing it to stiffen in ce.


    Seizing the opportunity, As continued his assault, unleashing a barrage of Void sts until the creature''s body disintegrated into azure motes, dissipating into thin air. Exhausted, he took a moment to catch his breath, lying down briefly to recover.


    [Void Raptor Warriors - 2/4]


    Then, As jumped up once he felt better and continued traveling deeper into the forest while keeping an eye on his surroundings; as he was walking, his arm was already regrowing thanks to his Regeneration, which was healing him.


    After doing that, As killed off many Void Raptors who tried to ambush him along the way. Thanks to Void Guard and Void st, he quickly dispatched them whenever they appeared. Once all the creatures were dead, he checked out the number needed toplete the first objective.


    [Void Raptors - 702/1000]


    Following the battle, As continued until he came across a clearing where he spotted a Void Raptor Warrior surrounded by the usual raptor. All their heads snapped in his direction, which made him step back.


    But As steeled his determination and unleashed a barrage of Void sts and Bullets into the horde, plunging the scene into chaos as the monsters charged forward. He swiftly dodged one of the Void Raptors, and despite all that, another crashed into him, knocking him off bnce.


    He quickly recovered his feeding before dashing around the clearing while peppering the second warrior. The monster tried to dodge the spells, but he was one step ahead of the smarter monster and sent some Void Arrows in the path it took.


    The azure projectiles pierced through the warrior''s body, causing it to turn into motes that returned to where it came from.


    [Void Raptors - 668/1000]


    [Void Raptor Warriors - 1/4]


    ''Not long before I can move onto Death Valley and the monsters that guard it,'' he mused.


    After that, As continued through the forest and saw a mountain in the background, which beckoned to him. He approached it, but when getting close, something erupted from a nearby bush while attacking.


    ''Oh shit what is this thing!'' he thought before using Void Step to get out of the way and allowed him to scan it.


    [Voidstalker]


    [Rank: F]


    The monsters, with their ck hides and glowing yellow eyes, reminded him of Troodons from Earth. As As backed away, the creatures began letting out calls, alerting every nearby Voidstalker.


    Reacting quickly, As cast Void st, obliterating one of the creatures with ease. However, ten more burst through the bushes, charging at him in a wild frenzy. He panicked and started spamming spells, but it was toote as they lunged at him and ended his go at level one.


    As woke up in bed next to Amethyst and noticed the phoenix girl had just woken up along with the others. After yawning, Artemis said before leaving the room, ''''I will order breakfast for us while you get ready. I want to go swimming soon before taking some quests with Grishna.''''


    ''''I have to see the city mayor; he knows I''m here with my party and has requested a meeting to help out with refugees flooding into the city from the Everde Kingdom due to the king allowing citizens passage,'''' Estelle said while walking into the room with wet hair.


    Amethyst and Grishna joined them while As checked his current progress.


    [Void Raptors - 600/1000]


    [Void Raptor Warriors - 1/4]


    [Death Valley monsters/Voidstalkers - 997/1000]


    ''Won''t be long now until I can use these monsters, but what are the conditions,'' he wondered.


    Secondster, several notifications popped up.


    [You''ve reached the third section of level one and have met the Voidstalkers. I can give you rtive information that you''re entitled to see]


    [Summon a group of Void Raptors to assist in battle. The packprises six members led by a leader who prioritizes your safety over their own. Each summoning portal requires 400 Mana andsts for ten minutes. Extending their presence costs an additional 200 Mana for another ten minutes]


    [Summon a group of Voidstalkers to aid in battle or scout an area. Each summoning portal costs 300 Mana and remains active for ten minutes. Extending their duration requires an additional 150 Mana for another ten minutes]


    There were two more notifications, which were blurred out after As checked his status.


    [Health: 436→444]


    [Mana: 1580→1592]


    [Strength: 424→432]


    [Stamina: 444→454]


    Pleased with his small gains, As got out of bed while pushing a sleeping Lilith off his legs before standing up as Estelle turned to him with a piece of paper, ''''Take this, Azhar''Zul. It''s directions to several weapon stores I know.''''


    As looked puzzled, ''''You''re calling me Azhar''Zul?
