After an hour of ditating on my bed, my system notified about the healing properties I needed to learn. Although this precious spell ca at a cost, I must use it and prepare myself for the upcoming fight against the demons.
'Command, healing skills set, and enter.'
Those were the commands that the players needed to input into their keyboards. It was a way of skimming through the spells inscribed for the players to learn, master, use, or sell. However, this world required to say it or think about the phrase inside my head.
'For now, I needed to learn at least one healing spell that could amplify my regeneration rate. If only I can learn one passive skill for my level 1 character, that would be great! Even if it were passive healing, I would take that crap,' I thought, and waited for the screen to illuminate a brilliant glow.
Passive abilities were not that great during clashes. Since the last patch of the ga ca, players broke these passive abilities by overusing them. They learned the true potential of these skills and outmanoeuvred their opponents without using active abilities.
I did not know if that still applies right now, but I still thought that placing any healings would fix my body. We only had three days before the demon's attack, and I cannot afford to stay idle in this room, trying to heal every wounded cell inside my body.
After a high-pitch sound, the azure window grabbed a book and showed it to . The system presented countless healing magics that any player could learn. Thanks to this information, I did not have to learn it through the churches, or wandering mages could teach those skills.
However, the worst happened in front of .
My efforts of scrolling until I hit rock-bottom were all for nought. There were no spells applicable for to learn. The system showed two reasons: one, my level was too low. And two, I was a knight that had no aptitude for magic spells besides fire elents and enhancent runes.
But before I could even give up, a glowing page welcod my eyes. I thought, "this was it!" and waited for this golden opportunity.
"... you gotta be kidding ," I snarled, as I witnessed a passive ability I received from the system.
[Because you are the descendant's hero and got your ass beaten by an ogre, the system grants you two abilities.]
"Excuse ...?" I groaned, but the pain got the better of .
[Passive Ability (Knock-back): If you receive damage continuously, the following attacks would have a lesser impact on you than before. This spell allows you to toughen your defences and multiply your armour by tenfold! (Stacks indefinitely. Health threshold as follows {For every 10% life-points deduction, increasing armour by x2}. {if life points reached 50%, increasing armour by x5}. {if life points reached around 25%, increasing armour by x10})
[Passive Ability (Healing Salve): Amplifies any healing done to the character by 1%. (This applies to human regeneration)]
I needed to beco a priest if I wanted to learn more about healing spells. However, I WAS NOT A FREAKING PRIEST. I was a knight in shining armour, so having healing spells was not applicable for my character.
My character before had rings and accessories that gave healing abilities and passive regenerations. Since I did not have to worry about restoring my life points, getting potions posed no problem.
And right now, I needed them if I wanted to move. But only the wealthy players and people could afford those crimson flasks. The stupid ga developer added those potions after a year of Magique's release. I did not have to wonder why I was playing a beta ga before!
But all of those mories were in the past. I needed to focus on what I have and learned right now.
Thanks to the porridge and herbs that Aferous and Rain gave to , my body continued to regenerate. Although it was not visible in the naked eye, I could feel so pleasure creeping through my veins. It was my passive ability and dication doing their job helping my body.
If the doctors on Earth saw right now, they would feel jealous to know about this spell!
My body imdiately absorbed the effects and healed most of the wounds on my body. Since I had a health bar like the goblins, healing was a piece of cake. However, I did not want to force myself violently to move like a monkey.
"Just take it slow, Arthur take it slow" I grumbled, and went to the gates.
Rain and Aferous widened their eyes as they witnessed standing up from my bed. They shook their heads and told to rest for the ti being. However, I wanted to see Afenos and told him about the passive abilities that he can have inside his body, considering that we were both knights.
The two reluctantly agreed, as long as I would return to this shack in around an hour. I gave Rain and Aferous a nod and took off from the house. Rain followed along and guided to Afenos.
I was fortunate enough that our journey turned out shorter than I expected. I did not know why I thought about Afenos becoming a monk, training on the top of a mountain. There was no need for the monks and . But thinking about that idea made burst into tears, laughing about Afenos shaving his head.
(Author's note: I am not trying to insult monks. sorry)
The training ground that Afenos chose was a grassy field filled with nothing but well, grass. All the trees were still far beyond the adow. It would take anyone for a fifteen minutes walk before reaching the woodland.
"There's my brother! Afenos, yoohoo!" Rain called out for Afenos, but the boy did not hear him.
Afenos preoccupied himself with a scarecrow as his training buddy. He had a sword in his right hand and a shield on the other, like a proper knight. That boy swung his blade like a madman and crushed his target to the ground. The scarecrow, bundled with tons of creeping plants, went back up and stared at Afenos.
As soon as I stepped foot on the green scene, the little brat turned around and hissed at us like a cat. It was as Rain had ntioned. Afenos had yet healed his body from our earlier battle. Instead of resting on a bed, that kid went straight in the field and trained until his heart's content. But seeing him right now made feel pity for him.
Afenos was doing everything all wrong. I was no swordsman, but my notification saw it as an error in my point of view. Since all the knowledge that ca from my knight class went inside , I knew a thing about to position myself during sword fights.
I grabbed an enlarged bough on the ground and shouted, "Afenos!"
The boy turned his face to and raised his eyebrow. Afenos wondered about the twig clipped in my hand. But before he could answer , he looked at his own hand and flashed a smirk.
"What better way to train ourselves than to fight?" I asked, and motioned my fingers for Afenos to do his trick.
That boy leapt from the ground and dashed straight towards . The feeble Afenos that I knew were no more in front of . While I was sleeping on my bed, Afenos trained for three days to reach this speed. Although he was still level 1, he had the dexterity of a proper adventurer!
However, I was more experienced than him. If soone combined our hours playing or living in this world, I would win from miles away.
Afenos swept a kick, hoping to disrupt my balance. I saw his little cheap trick and jumped from the ground. It was now ti to defend myself in mid-air. Although this position gave Afenos the advantage, I knew I was going to win.
"[Hell Fire!]" I shouted, but nothing happened.
I expected a crimson-coloured magic circle to appear on my hands but it did not. A
It was when I realised I was not using my character in Magique. I was the puny Arthur that teleported into this world without my legendary attributes and skills. [Hell fire], which burned the entire empire, did not appear in my arms.
"Shit!"
I covered my chest using my arms and expected the stick to attack . But Afenos did another thing. He moved to the side and aid for my flank, which I left open!
As soon as his palm crashed against my abdon, my mouth spewed saliva mixed with red liquid on the soil. With one hit, Afenos defeated as I plumted to the ground.
After realising what he had done, Afenos rushed towards and inspected my body. He lowered his head and expressed his apologies to .
"ARTHUR! I thought you knew what you're doing! Why would you rush in front of like that, stupid!" Despite insulting for my failure, Afenos tried to help stand.
I was fortunate enough to receive no alarming wounds after that fight.
