Chapter 4 Last Chance
Rishi returned to his cave.
He then remembered his survival classes and started a fire.
He was thirsty, so he drank the wolf\'s blood and began roasting wolf meat to eat. He also used stones to block the entrance.
He then ate the wolf\'s meat.
He wrapped some cloth around all of his wounds. Then he started thinking about his next move.
"I should work on getting stronger first."
"I\'m not strong enough to survive in this forest."
He then started to think about ways to get stronger.
"The only way to get stronger quickly is to pass the beginner\'s trial," he concluded.
"But I\'m not fully ready for it," he said to himself.
"I am injured too."
He started thinking about something that could help him heal, and he suddenly remembered, "Elder told me that when you enter a beginner trial in an injured state, All your wounds are healed by Gaia so that the trial is fair for everyone."
He then sighed, realizing he had no other option. The thing about a beginner\'s trial is that it becomes more difficult with each attempt.
Rishi knew that very few people had passed the trial while attempting it for the third time, but he didn\'t have a choice.
It was his last chance which made him a little nervous.
He remembered the first time he had to face and defeat a level 1 magic beast in under 5 minutes. He didn\'t train much for his first attempt because he was depressed after losing his grandfather.
He was so unlucky that he was about to finish the magic beast when he realized he was out of time.
He trained hard for his second attempt but didn\'t expect to face two level 1 magic beasts.
He faced two Bisons and had only three minutes to defeat them. He finished a bison in half the time this time, but the other bison started running away from him before he could kill it.
He\'d just caught up to the beast when the same thing happened again, and he ran out of time. This badluck made Rishi unsure about the result of his third attempt.
He worked very hard to prepare for his third attempt but was unsure because of the difficulty of the third trial and his luck. He had trained to keep in mind to defeat a level 2 magic beast in under a minute.
"Let\'s do it," he said as he tried to motivate himself.
"Awaken," he said after preparing himself.
He heard a \'Ding\' sound, and a screen appeared before his eyes as soon as he said this word.
[Would you like to take the beginner\'s trial? Please respond with a yes or no]
Rishi gathered his courage and replied, "Yes."
He vanished from the cave as soon as he replied.
Rishi then examined his surroundings and was unsurprised to find himself back in the battle arena. He examined his body and discovered that all his wounds had healed; this relieved him and boosted his confidence.
Then, once more, a screen appeared in front of his eyes.
[Welcome back, challenger Rishi Rawat]
A panel appeared in front of his eyes, displaying his body stats.
[RISHI RAWAT]
AGE: 12
LEVEL: 1
STRENGTH: 15
AGILITY: 20
STAMINA: 20
VITALITY: 15
MP: 15
SKILLS
PASSIVE:
Fitness Freak (Level 2): You will recover your stamina faster.
Enhanced Focus (Level 1): When you focus on one thing, you will be able to do that thing easily and learn anything faster.
ACTIVE: 0
Rishi smiled as he examined his stats, which had increased by an average of 5 points, a significant increase compared to the average person, who has all of his stats at 10 points on Level 1.
One passive skill was randomly given to all humans when they were born, while others could be awakened by completing specific tasks. His \'enhanced focus\' skill was awakened when he was born, and he got the \'fitness freak\' skill later.
He had just finished inspecting his stats when he heard Gaia\'s voice.
[Starting the trial]
[Kill every magic beast in one minute.]
When Rishi heard Gaia, he looked at the screen.
"This is going to be hell," he said and sighed as he prepared himself for the challenge, knowing Gaia well.
He took a look around and discovered five Level 1 magic beasts.
In his head, he heard Gaia\'s voice.
[Select your weapon]
Various weapon holograms appeared in front of him. Rishi went with the sword.
In front of him, a sword appeared. He drew his sword, tightened his grip, and gazed at five Level 1 magic beasts, a pack of Horned Wolves.
"It looks like wolves and I are fated to be enemies."
"I\'d better finish it fast, or I\'ll be unlucky again," he said as he charged at the pack of Wolves.
