First Fight
I immediately got up again, ignoring the pain in my back, but the rat was closer than before.
And to make matters even worse, I received some alarming notifications.
[warning]
[You have been affected by the status effect: [Poisoned: Lv1]. You will lose 5 HP per minute.]
'Perfect, just what I needed to calm down a little.' I shouted sarcastically.
[You have lost 5 HP.]
'Why am I always so unlucky? [Global Wisdom] Tell me, how can I escape from this damn rat?!'
[1. You can keep on running till the status effect [Bleeding: Lv4] on the rat Weaken it, and you give it the final blow.]
'Now that I pay attention to it, the rat's HP lowered without me doing anything!'
[2. By using the [Unique Skill: Pinnacle Of Magic] and the [Mind Magic: Lv--] skill]
[You have lost 5 HP.]
[I suggest the host to go for the second option because whit the first one you may encounter ever more danger.]
'But there is a problem. You do know I never used magic before, right?
Why did you choose these two skills?'
Instead of receiving a response from [Global Wisdom], two screens with two different descriptions appeared before me.
...
[Pinnacle Of Magic]
Description:
As a being loved by Mana. The mana listens to you more easily than anyone else; you are able to manipulate it.
without any problem, and you are naturally akin to all the magic types in this world.
Effects:
Your MP recovery is 300% faster, and your
Mana consumption is reduced by 150%.
Magic affinity is godlike.
...
...
[Mind Magic: Lv--]
Description:
You are capable of doing everything with your mind.
...
'Well, the [Mind Magic] doesn't have the best of descriptions, but I think I understand why you want me to use these two skills. Let's put an end to this race.'
.
.
.
After having prepared a plan with [Global Wisdom], I was still running.
You may be wondering why, right?
Well, that's because... 'I HAVE NEVER USED MAGIC BEFORE.'
[The host must first of all calm down if you want to use magic.]
'I've already tried that; on the contrary, I'm losing HP as if I'm drinking water!'
[huff]
'Did you just chug at me?' I asked, somewhat irritated.
[No, you imagined it.]
[Try to imagine controlling some water and running it through your whole body.]
'You are trying to avoid my question!'
"SCQEEK!"
Turning my head a little, I saw that the rat had come so close to me.
Now he wasn't so far away from me; if his tail were whole, I think he would have already crushed me to the ground by now.
'What did you say I should do?'
I asked [Global Wisdom] to repeat what he said.
[Imagine allowing some water to enter your body and make it flow through your whole body.]
After listening to what I had to do, I closed my eyes, and after a few seconds I began to feel a sense of warmth flow throughout my body.
When I reopened my eyes, [Global Wisdom] notified me that I was able to sense the mana.
[Warning]
[The host successfully sensed mana for the first time!]
[Magic stat increased by 20]
[Acquired. [Mana sense: Lv1] Normal skill.]
'Wow, this is crazy. Was it supposed to be this easy?'
[Due to the unique skill [Pinnacle Of Magic], the host will learn magic much more easily than ordinary people.]
With this in mind, I stopped running away and faced the rat head-on.
The rat stopped as well...
Right now we are facing each other, standing still and judging.
All of a sudden the rat started ironing purple balls. I jumped to my right, and fortunately
I was able to dodge some of them; unlucky as I am, one managed to hit me in the foot.
[Warning]
[The host status effect [Poisoned:Lv1] has worsened to [Poisoned:Lv2].
[Host will lose 10 HP per minute.]
'Great, just what was needed. How much HP do I have remaining?'
[Answer: Host currently has 90 HP remaining.]
'That means I have to kill it within 6 minutes,' I thought to myself.
'How can I kill him?'
[Answer. By using the [Mind Magic] skill to obtain the Characteristic Skills [Telekinesis]
'What do I need to do to get the skill?'
[Just think about doing something with your mind, such as making it fly or trailing it to the ground, while you use [Mind Magic]. I think by now you already know how to activate it.]
'Yes, yes, I think I have a vague idea of how skills activation works. I'll try my best.'
While I was having a chat with [Global Wisdom], the rat was running at me with his mouth open.
I had a bad feeling about it, so I jumped back to dodge the bite attack.
Oddly enough, the place he bit began to melt.
'What was that?'
[Answer. The possibility of it being the [Poison Fang] skill is 100%.]
'What the fuck! If I was just a second late in reacting, I would be dead!'
The rat didn't wait a second; he charged back at me, trying to bite me.
I kept dodging his attacks several times.
As I was dodging his attacks, I noticed that the rat was getting more and more tired and weaker.
Suddenly I got an idea.
'[Global Wisdom] Do I have a way of dealing physical damage?'
[Yes, you currently possess the characteristic skill [Bone Claws]
'That is good.'
After confirming that I had a physical damage-dealing skill, I waited for the rat
to try to bite me again and jumped on his back and activated the [Bone Claws] skill.
