6 Level Up! (2/2)

[You leveled up! You are now level 3. 10 stat points gained.]

Karl looked at the notifications. He was happy that he reached level 3, now he only needed 7 more levels. If he keeps going at this pace, he only needs to kill about 2 or 3 more. He was also surprised that the shadow tentacles worked so well. He didn't know it would work that well, but as expected of a cheat, it was OP. He checked his status, planning to distribute his 20 stat points that he gained.

While Karl was busy spending his points, Dilya was shocked. He did something that she had never seen. He seemed to control the shadow and she didn't even detect any mana being used. Which means that was his natural ability. She walked up to him. ”What was that? What were those weird tentacles? It looked like you were controlling the shadow.”

Karl finished spending his stat points. His status looked like this.

[Name:] Kigai

[Level:] 3

[Species:] Ancient One (Avatar)

[Gender:] Male

[Age:] 18

[Strength:] 12

[Constitution:] 4

[Intelligence:] 8

[Dexterity:] 16

He spent all his points on dexterity and strength since that was what he needed right now.

Karl turned around, seeing Dilya. ”I controlled its shadow. When I looked at my abilities list, I found that I had the Shadow Manipulation ability. As for the tentacles, I made them using shadows,” he explained.

Dilya listened to his explanation. ”I think I know why you were level 1 and lost all your memories. The Goddess blessed you with this powerful ability, but it cost you your essence and memories. Yes, that must be it. The Goddess is truly wonderful.”

Karl tried to hold back his laughter. Well, she was right about one thing, he was blessed by a god, it was him, he blessed himself. ”What is this Goddess you are talking about?” He asked, curious about who it was they made up as their god.

”Right, you don't remember. The Goddess of Magic, Aphy. She is the reason why we have mana, She created mana. She must've blessed you and given you that ability,” she said, convinced that was what happened.

Karl sighed and decided to go along with it. ”I see, that makes a lot of sense.”

Dilya asked some more questions about his ability. As Karl was being bombarded with questions, they were unaware that something was watching them. It was attracted by the smell of the dead Tulipie. It was a natural-born predator. It stalked around them, quietly growling. It watched them carefully. Finding the right angle, it bent its limbs, ready to pounce.
