Chapter 33 End of My Adventure (1)
I spent seven months here in this damn forest. I say that was not an easy feat to accomplish, especially for someone who lived in a modern world once. I feel like these memories of mine are a boon and a curse at the same time. When I was a kid, instead of enjoying such an innocent age, there were various thoughts swirling inside my mind that shouldn't be there.
Due to those adult thoughts, I couldn't properly enjoy my childhood but those thoughts also saved me from falling into other's traps. They were there, and though they appeared harmless on the surface, there were some pitfalls that some of the elders arranged for me. Luckily with an adult mind, I was able to bypass those pits.
It was as I said, both a boon and curse. Even in the forest, it was both.
I was affected by the modern facilities. Though they were absent even in the new home, but least there were soft beds and doors. Though there are assassinations that can reap lives even when we are at home, it is still safer than it was here.
If not for my clones, I wouldn't have been able to sleep well for long.
Seven months, living alone for seven months is not an easy thing. This was only something that monks would do. Probably my ancestor was a monk or had a monk master. If not why would family have such a tradition?
Can't they be normal like other families?
Couldn't they have brought beasts and we could have trained to fight them in the training area, where it is safe and comfy?
Anyway, it was almost time for me to return home. I can enjoy some of the facilities that are available in this world. I hope there are people who can bring all those modern appliances here. I miss my smartphone and leisurely browsing through social media the most.

After the ambush, I stayed low for a few weeks to see if there were any more ambushers but luckily there weren't. At that time, I moved to a different part of the forest. This was to check if those who were here to kill me could track me even after I switched off the bracelet. If they had such a thing, it would be truly troublesome.
Moreover, I wanted to increase my levels and reach level 100 before returning home. In addition to that, I was looking for mind skills and mystery skills. There are monsters that have these special skills in this forest. It was one of the reasons why it wasn't easy to conquer this forest.
I didn't go there to clear them or for something honorable. I don't believe in that shit. It was something that the bad or weak people used to control the good and powerful ones. I would be powerful in the future but I am nowhere good enough to have such honorable ideas and stand up for justice.
Justice always depends on strength. Whether it was here or on Earth, it was the same. On Earth, it was a bit colorful and they don't blatantly use it, at least most of the time. If you don't have power in your hands you would be buried easily, no matter the world.
I am going off-topic again.
Anyway, I changed my shelter and kept my clones close, but as nothing happened, I started to hunt the monsters that were out there. In a few months, I was able to improve faster than I anticipated. This was because of a surprise that I got from one of those magic cores of monsters that humans can't absorb to get skills.
The monster was called Spirit Fox and the skill I got was Rank Booster.
--
Rank Booster: Improves your level by meditating properly. Don't think that you can conquer the world with this. You need a proper meditation technique to use this perfectly.
--
A skill that can improve ranks without hunting. Monsters don't have levels such as us but they improve their ranks by eating treasures or other monster cores, even humans. They improve their ranks by consuming resources.
Even though I didn't have an appropriate technique to get the perfect results, I know meditation, and using that I was able to improve a bit. Even if it appears to be small, that was because of my rank. If I was still Tier-0, the improvement would have been much more than this, in level numbers, not actual improvement.
There were other skills that I procured from this fox. Namely Mind Control, Mind Probe, and Mind Defence.
--
Mind Control: Boy, Mind and Control. What other explanation do you need?
--
Mind Probe: I wonder if you have a mind. If you had, you would have known what this skill is for by reading the name.
--
Mind Defence: Two comments are not enough. Read the name and you can understand what it is useful for.
--
Those three skills ar mind skills. They would protect me from being controlled by others. I can control other's minds or even see what was there on their minds. These are very rare skills, that were only available through skill books.
In addition to these, there was another skill, Spirit Evolution but I couldn't find these foxes easily. After I appeared and killed a few of them, they disappeared.
I am not trying to make their race extinct but I feel that they think that I am here to erase their race. maybe because they were rare species. I don't know why but I left them. Though they might kill humans in the future, I am not a savior.
I am a human and would take their side, but that was only in serious conditions. There is no need to erase a race just because they are a threat to humans. Almost everything on this world is a threat to humans, including humas themselves.
Moreover, these monsters are resources. If I wipe them out, then where would one find those particular resources that are only obtained from that particular race.
Even though I didn't get Spirit Evolution, I got another skill that was very much useful for me.
--
Dragon Blood Evolution (EX): You would be able to evolve into what you are meant to be, not this inferior product.
