As collected enough of the Wispfern Leaf to earn the reward before using Void Step to reach the ground below. When he arrived there, the Voidstalkers rushed over to him and let out chirps.


    They quickly informed him that the Owl Bears were a few miles away, making As smile. He continued his journey through the forest, led by the little dinosaurs until he came to arge clearing with a cave in the middle.


    ''Is that the Own Bears home?'' As pondered while readying his weapons.


    After dismissing the void monsters, As continued his journey through the forest, the vige drawing nearer with each step. Suddenly, a roar shattered the stillness, and a monstrous creature burst from the underbrush, its colossal ws shing toward him.


    He quickly ducked, narrowly avoiding the deadly strike as the beast loomed overhead. Seizing the moment, he cast Void st at the monster''s torso, the spell''s force giving him the chance to evade its next attack.


    While doing that, he used Void Sight on the Owl Bear to find its strength.


    [Owl Bear]


    [Rank: C - 500 Exp]


    [Use speed boy]


    He summoned two Void Brute Bears, their forms materializing from azure portals that red beside him. As the towering, dark blue bears charged at the monster, they ruthlessly tore it to shreds, causing blood and flesh to fly all over the clearing.


    From the nearby cave emerged more Owl Bears, but the Void Brute Bears handled them effortlessly. Impressed by their strength, As smiled before dismissing the bears back to the Void Realm.


    ''Completing Level Two was worth it just for the Void Bears.''


    As then started collecting the monster''s ws, red core, and the Lunarleaf herb growing at the cave''s entrance, which he stumbled upon. Once that was done, he continued looking for water where the Moonshade Flower grew.


    After a few hours of searching, As finally stumbled upon a smallke that gave him an uneasy feeling. ''There''s got to be a catch to this. Something will jump out and attack me if I get to close,'' he thought, watching the shore dotted with eerie purple flowers.


    Without waiting for a monster to attack, he summoned Medusa and ordered her to clear theke while he harvested the herb toplete the quest. The Death Serpent dived into the water only for it to erupt as she was fighting with a giant crocodile.


    As finished collecting all the flowers before using Void Sight on the monster.

    [Rank: D - 300 Exp]


    [Ambush Predator in the Ember Forest]


    He aimed Nightde at the Swamp Drake and cast Void Lance at the monster''s giant torso. The azure projectile pierced its tough hide, allowing Medusa to snap its neck. When As heard the loud crack, he cringed but allowed her to eat the monster.


    Then, As collected more Moonshade flowers before resting and checking on thest seven quests.


    [Hunt the Dire Wolves guing the hills outside Emberde - Reward: Twenty Silver per wolf - Proof: Teeth or hide]


    [yer the Swamp Drake lurking in Embar Forest, it has killed half a dozen people - Reward: Two Gold - Proof: Fangs or eyes]


    Upon reading the note, As turned to Medusa and shouted, "Bring the monster''s body here, girl!"


    The Death Serpent''s head emerged from the water, giving a nod of acknowledgment before dragging the lifeless body over to him. As drew his Nightde and set to work, slicing out the fangs and eyes before carving severalrge chunks of meat, meticulously stripping them of skin and bone.


    Then, As stored everything away before letting Medusa gorge on the Swamp Drake. While she did that, he read thest four quests.


    [Clear the Swamp Hags from the shores of the Nightfall River - Reward: Two Gold - Proof: Anything body part]


    [Deal with the marauding Swamp Bulls destroying farms outside Sunset Vige to the north - Reward: One Gold - Proof: Horns]


    [Kill the evil Forest Chickens terrorizing the hills around Emberde Town - Reward: Fifty Silver - Proof: Chicken feet]


    ''What the fuck,'' As thought with augh as the quest caught him off guard.


    ''''Evil Forest Chickens, who wrote this request?'''' he muttered with a smile before reading thest one.


    [Kill the two Forest Trolls on the hill north of Sunset Vige - Reward: Two Gold - Proof: Troll blood]


    As stood up, stretching as he stored thepleted quests. He nced at Medusa, a thoughtful look on his face. ''These quests will be enjoyable,'' he mused. ''And it''ll be even easier with Theo to help me travel.''


    He decided to confront the Evil Chickens terrorizing Emberde. Using Theo''s help, he flew across the hills until he spotted the troublesome creatures. They were the size of dogs and tearing into a farmhouse while screeching.


    ''Just for making that horrible noise, you will die,'' he thought as Theo swooped down and grabbed two of the monsters as he jumped off.


    When As did that, he used Void Sight on them.


    [Wild Chicken]


    [Rank: G - 50 Exp]


    [Annoying monsters]


    Following that, he started attacking the Wild Chickens, who stood no chance against him, and the Blood Bat King. Once the battle was over, As began collecting all the feet and storing them away.


    ''Only a few more quests toplete before I''m done with it all and can finally rank up,'' As thought while jumping on Theo''s back.


    The creature took off and started looking for the wolves, but it soon found them stalking a merchant caravan along the road to town. He ordered Theo to descend, and when it did, the bat let out a loud screech that confused the Dire Wolves.


    Once they were close to the ground, As jumped off and impaled one of the monsters through the head, which caused the other monsters to go still, but that was the opportunity he needed to kill them all using Void Barrage.


    As didn''t get them all, so he had to chase after the surviving ones. He killed them in the end and gathered their teeth but left the core because it was low-level, and he didn''t need any more of them.


    ''I don''t mind collecting them, but I''m getting so many better ones at the moment,'' he mused with a greedy smile.


    After he had collected all the teeth, he moved on to his next quest: dealing with the Swamp Bulls near Sunset Vige. As summoned Theo, who soared over Emberde, allowing him to spot the small farmingmunity a few miles to the north.


    While flying, Theo let out a quiet chirp, causing As to nce down. He spotted a herd of twenty Swamp Bulls wallowing in a nearby pond. They were twice the size of the ones from Earth and had two elongated horns that looked deadly.


    ''''Let''s deal with them, boy. These quests are easy toplete and will make us some gold coins,'''' As told Theo after admiring the monsters.


    The creature replied with a chirp before descending. When getting closer, he started casting Void Bullets and Void sts that peppered the herd of unsuspecting monsters caught off guard.


    Azure explosions erupted all over the pond, causing the Swamp Bulls to panic as they fled, but As targetted them with Void Arrows that burrowed through their thick hides and brought therge creatures crashing down,


    He jumped off Theo as the Bat King snatched up a bull to eat while As used Void Sight on the monsters.


    [Swamp Bull]


    [Rank: C - 300 Exp]


    [Simple but strong]


    Then, As continued attacking the Swamp Bull, who were trying to escape. His spells caused them to lose their footing, allowing him to stab one of the monsters through its skull and cast Void Bullet, which caused it to explode.


    ''E, disgusting,'' As thought while gagging due to the horrible smell.


    Thanks to his helmet, his face was protected from the blood and brain matter. Once the first monster was down, he moved on to the next. Not long after that, all the Swamp Bullsy dead, and Theo was off to the side eating one of them.


    It threw the red Monster Core to As, causing him to thank the Dungeon creature. He took some time to recover the spent mana as it was slowly recovering, thanks to his body sucking in the mana of the world.


    After an hour, he was ready to continue and harvested the horns before checking how many quests he had left toplete. ''Destroy the Wild Orcs, deal with the Sea Hags, and kill the two Forest Trolls.''


    ''So, three more toplete until I can return to Emberde and proceed with the Guild Rank-Up test,'' he pondered.


    After the encounter, As decided to take a break. He pulled out the Dragon Meat Feast and began eating, savoring the rich vors as he checked his status.

    [Intelligence: 1226→1232]


    [Core Points: 32620/50000]


    [Core Points Gained: 4600]


    ''I''m not leveling up as quickly but still getting gains from all the fighting,'' As mused with a smile.


    Following that, he continued eating until finishing the meat box and called for Theo, who was doing with the Swamp Bull feast. As went around collecting the twenty red Monster Cores before heading to search for the Swamp Hag on the banks of the Nightfall River.


    As climbed onto Theo''s back before the Blood Bat King took off and soared into the sky while flying west.
