Alren's excitement grew as he decided to test his lightning powers. He looked around for a suitable target, spotting a nearby tree.
Focusing his energy, Alren unleashed a controlled blast of lightning. The bolt struck the tree, splintering the trunk and sending sparks flying.
"Lightning Bolt: Level 1," the notification voice announced. "Damage: 10. Experience gained: 5."
Alren felt a sense of accomplishment. His powers were already impressive.
He practiced his Lightning Bolt several times, refining his aim and control. With each successful strike, he gained more experience and confidence.
As the sun began to set, Alren settled down to rest, his mind buzzing with possibilities. He had only scratched the surface of his abilities.
As night fell, Alren's ears picked up strange noises in the distance. The sounds grew louder, and he sensed movement.
