3 Stealth (2/2)

I took advantage of this time to carefully study the stealth skill book. I could survive without the magic, but being able to escape was my first priority.

The book was fascinating, my mind was quickly absorbed into the book. Time passed without pause as my mind seemed sucked into the vortex of words that the book contained.

Oddly the words seemed to pass directly through my mind, and straight into my body as I poured over the book. I did not notice as Old pointy hat stopped snoring and looked in my direction. Nor did I notice him nodding as he smiled.

I was eventually awoken from my trance as the words in front of me began to disappear, they seemed to fade from the pages as they appeared in my mind.

A notification appeared before me.

\u003cYou have learned the skill [Stealth]\u003e

[Stealth] level 1/10

allows the user to move unseen and unheard. Stealth is effected by the skill level and the agility stat.

I wiped my brow as I read the notification. A shiver ran down my spine as a massive amount of information flooded my mind. The flow of information was too much for my mind to comprehend and I blacked out right there.

=======================================

When I woke old pointy hat was gone, but there was a cold bowl of gruel in front of me and a glass of what I assumed to be water. As well as a new book titled [The art of assassination]. The stealth book was also gone.

My stomache growled as I laid eyes on the gruel. The taste did not betray the way it looked. It looked like a flavorless porridge that had rotted a fair amount. My stomache did a few flips as the disgusting porridge entered my mouth, but I managed to hold it down.

Shortly after what I had dreaded most about the day had finally happened. By bladder had become full, and I would soon be forced to use a part of my body that I was completely unfamiliar with.

I grit my teeth, and decided to use the opportunity to train. I activated the stealth skill, which ended up using 5 points of mana, and began to creep down the hall.

To my benefit the goblins were either not very observant, or they simply did not care about a newborn goblin wandering the passage ways.

Unfortunately I was unable to find a bathroom in time was forced to squat in some random room that I came across. The room was rather well decorated compared to the others I had happened across. There was a rather large wardrobe and a huge pile of hay. I ran towards to the hay and squatted. A flood of fluid came gushing out of me as I squatted, and my bladder finally got some relief.

I never left stealth, and quickly found my way back to the library room. Mission accomplished. kind of.
