3 Stealth (1/2)

After several hours of meditation a notification appeared before me, asking me from my meditative state.

\u003cYou have learned the talent [beginners mana core]\u003e

This was followed by another notification from the system.

The notifications filled me with excitement and dread at the same time. Success meant I could eventually become a powerful wizard! But I only had just under 7 days to accomplish it. After a moment of thought I figured the failure of escaping was tied into the failure of this quest as well. That meant in reality I had less than this time if I was going to be successful.

In front of me Pointy hat continued to snore, oblivious to my presence or worries.

Moving as slowly and carefully as I could I returned to the book shelves as I scanned through the books. I was only level one, and my strength was lacking. If I was to successfully escape this place I would need to do so stealthily.

As my eyes wander over the dusty book cases two books caught my attention. The first was a book called the beginners guide to stealth. After reading over the summary it was a skill book that taught the stealth skill. The words in the book would disappear after the skill had been learned.

The second was a magical spell book simply titled Venomous Grimoire. It was a book that centered around a sub category of the wood element, namely poisons. I grabbed both of them and headed towards the corner of the room. Old Pointy hat was still sleeping, and did not appear to want to wake any time soon.
