Klein and Phil just finished eating. Boy told Phil about his trial. It wasn't the most pleasant thing to do, even as an outskirt Klein had problems doing that.
Klein was sure that this expierience leaved a scar on his psychic .
"Damn... And I thought that my trial was bad"
Klein hesitated but then said
"Yeah but maybe I'll get compensated for it... After something like this I shoul've been granted areally powerful ability. Maybe... maybe I'll be able to get us out from poverty."
Smile appeared on Phil's face
"You sure will but first go and get some rest. Even you must be tired after something like this."
Klein listened to Phil's advice and started walking to his bed.
In that moment Klein realised something.
'I'm... I am not tired'
It wasn't just a feeling. Klein's body felt like it was fully rested.
'You can't get weaker'
'Of course why didn't I thought of it this power must give me infinite stamina. But is it all to this power?'
Surely infinite stamina is an incredible boon but how is it gonna help him fight with monsters as tall as buildings
Klein lost in thoughs started walking in circles.
At some moment Klein lost his balance and fell hitting the floor with his knee
"Ah... This hurts"
He touched his knee and...
"Wait why is there no blood?"
He started examining it. It was a big bruise but it didn't bleed. It was like his blood refused to leave his body
"Interesting"
"I must test something"
He took a gold knife from the counter which his uncle enchanted to be good at slicing through soft tissue
He made a smal cut on his forearm bu t not even a drop of blood spilled out from it.
'I guess that I can't bleed out... Huh that's kinda incredible'
The ability to don't care about bleeding out mid battle was a incredible one.
But it wasn't all. When Klein cutted his forearm he noticed something.
It felt like his senses grew a little more potent.
He could see more details on the knife and he could hear steps of his uncle a little bit louder.
He repeated in his head
'You can't get weaker'
'So if I receive damage that would
weaken me in a fight my senses or other abilities grow stronger.'
'Interesting'
"Hmm... this might be really helpful in a fight'
"I should probably examine it later. Even if I don't feel need to sleep I'll be thinking better after it. It looks like my ability doesn't work on my mind so I still should sleep from time to time"
Next day
Klein woke up seeing that his cut was almost healed
Unfortunately it doesn't look like his ability is giving regenarative abilities
It'll just help him stay alive to the end...
'Well I should probably start training. After my True Soul willl be inspected I'll go outside a city to try and hunt something...'
Klein didn't have any money for a decent weapon so he must hope to not came across some high level monster
Monsters similiar to humans had thei own power system which was made of ten levels
Feral
Awakened
Brute
Guardian
Gallant
Sacred
Mythic
Primal
Astral
Eternal
Feral beast were practically the same as normal animals but were far more agressive.
Beasts of the primal level could level up entire cities leaving only ruins
In the forest next to the outskirts the highest found monster was of the Brute level
It... It was the monster responsible for the death of Klein's mother
The monster was long dead
the knights of the Thornefield family were able to kill it
'My mother died because their pride didn't let them belive in some rumors...'
Thornefield was one of few major clans on the continent
The rest of this families were
Azure Dragon Clan
Ashbourne family
Redwave Family
Hawksmoor family
Winterfell Family
And the clan of the Darkcrown
The clan of the Darkcrown was made entirely out of commoners who had decent fighting abilities
They weren't the most powerfull clan but they were the biggest clan out of them
If Klein wished he would surely join the clan of the Darkcrown but he didn't like being dependent on someone
Also this clan was well known for having many dangerous individuals in their ranks
Klein decided to become independent awakened and it wasn't only because he didn't like talking to people
Independent awakeners even if being able to hunt only lesser monsters didn't have to share their prey
'I must prepare myself for my first hunt'
Klein started his training
He didn't have any instructor to show him how to properly use a sword so he just concetrated on physical training
With the help of his True Soul the effects were... Stunning
He didn't grew tired and he could train day and night
And he discovered one more more ability of his True Soul
If he was able to lift 50kg boulder he'll always be able to do it
This ability don't sound so amazing at first but it is truly an incredible one
Let's say that one time by pure wilpower he was able to lift a 70kg boulder now he's able to do it with pure strenght.
The day of the examination was drawing close with each day klein's training grew more and more intense
The more hungry he was the stronger his senses became
On his fifth day of training he tried to learn how to threw a proper punch
He received a couple of advices from Phil who was well known for street fighting skills
And at some point by pure luck he threw a perfect punch
His fist cut through air with force capable of shattering someone's jaw
And then...
Klein was capable of throwing such punches at will
'This power is perfect learnung ne things'
Next days Klein was trying to learn dodging and blocking
He was able to do a few lucky ones and then all of his blocks and dodges turned into flawless ones
And this way a week have passed
It was a day to examine his True Soul
