4 Beginners Poison Core (1/2)

After I returned to the Library room a notification popped appeared before me.

\u003c[stealth] has leveled up to level 2.\u003e

Great! it seems like my hard work has paid off. I thought to myself as I curled up in my corner. I yawned as I slowly closed my eyes. Doing all this work had left me exhausted.

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

[Day 2]

When I woke up I found another bowl of gruel in front of me, and I could hear the not so soft sound of pointy hat snoring. My stomache growled when I saw the gruel, but at the same time a nauseous feeling came over my body.

I grit my teeth and gagged down the food. I would need the energy if I was to make it out of this mess.

I then turned attention to the two books in front of me. The first was the book old pointy hat had gifted me [The art of Assassination], the second was the spellbook I would need to unlock the subclass Apprentice Wizard [Venomous Grimoire].

As I had a time limit on getting this subclass I decided that it was necessary to study [Venomous Grimoire] first. The book was not as simple as the previous stealth book. It started off by speaking about the properties of Poison magic, as well as a warning. As my eyes passed over the words a notification from the system appeared before me.

\u003cBy accepting the teachings of this lost path of magic your core will aligned with the poison subcategory of the wood element. You will be unable to learn magic of other categories. Do you wish to continue? Y/N\u003e

I paused as I thought over the words, the cost of learning from this book was immense, but with my limited strength and current situation I could see no choice but to accept. Poison and stealth were my only options to escape from this place, and if I failed the results would be worse than death.

With my mind made up I quickly chose to accept. I could feel warmth growing from my diminutive magic core. The warmth began to grow hotter, burning me from the inside, as I could feel the gross taste of bike and gruel welling up inside of me. Soon the rancid scent of vomit filled the air as the contents of my stomache emptied over the ground. My vision began to blur as the pain in my chest radiated throughout my body.

I woke up several hours later, greeted by another message from the system.
