The Divine Wolf...or?

Chapter 4 - Water!

Having fought twice in such a short amount of time gave Ark a big influx of adrenaline and he needed to calm down a bit before he started acting rashly. In case the smell of blood would attract other more powerful monsters Ark decided to head out into the woods again. He was really excited at the prospect of having another 15 status points that he could ȧssign but he had a couple of things to think about. First of all, when he used "Inspect" on the goblins he found out that he had some stats that they didn't have such as dexterity and endurance and even wisdom.

But he thought that not all monsters had the same stats since they have different constitutions and such, it would also be quite weird for a goblin to have wisdom right? He also noticed from their stats that the stat increase per level for them seemed to be 3 stat points and not his 5. But then again he had a max level growth skill while they didn't so there's always that.

Ark was satisfied with the answers he came up with and decided that he could ponder harder on things like that when he had the time later, rising up from his sitting position he started to head out, this time a bit more vigilant than before since he didn't want to get jumped. After about 5 minutes of walking, he noticed a very small stream, which got him very excited since it probably led to a bigger body of water. Following the stream he noticed how it got bigger and bigger for every step he took and after a little while he finally saw what he had been looking for, it was a river!

Being careful of his surroundings he decided to sneak up to the water and take a sip, which to Ark's surprise, was delicious! He used "Inspect" on the river to see if anything was special about it.

[Lesser Magical River]

A normal river infused with a little bit of mana, purifying it.

Gives +10% hp and mp regen for 10 minutes.

Seeing this made Ark think about the fact that he had used 20 mp earlier and he still hadn't looked if it had regenerated any yet.

After seeing that it had regenerated 6 mp so far Ark guessed that each point of wisdom equaled 1mp regen per hour since it had been around half an hour since the fight had ended. He also noticed that his water magic had leveled up after or during the fight which made him instantly made him use "Inspect" on it again.

[Due to continuous use Inspect Lv.2 became Lv.3]

[Grants the host the sub-skill "water manipulation" and the Lv.1 skill "water bullet" as well as the Lv.2 skill "minor reinvigoration"]

Seeing the new skill as well as the sub-skill that he couldn't see before made Ark very happy since he now had something that seemed to be a healing ability as well as a skill that could come in handy in the future. He still hadn't ȧssigned his new status points but decided to clean himself in the river first, which proceeded without a hitch, Ark was a bit scared that there would be some kind of monster hiding in the water but apparently, he was just a bit paranoid after the battles. Having cleaned himself he finally decided on how he would distribute his new stats.

He decided to add 7 points into his agility bringing it to 25 points in total and then he decided to add the rest into his intelligence since he now knew how powerful magic truly was. After confirming his selection Ark heard the same old monotone voice in his head yet again.

Status points [0]

Ark decided to not put that much points into his vitality and other stats for now just to test things out and since he now had a healing ability his hp wasn't as important as power, which in turn could get him more stat points which he could spend on the other stats. Seeing his power increase and all of his new skills made Ark super excited since he couldn't wait to test them all out, but that would have to wait for now.

He still needed to find a nice place to rest for the night since he couldn't just sleep anywhere due to the danger lurking everywhere. Having that in mind he set out to find a hiding spot, he could go back to the cave if heeded to but he thought that he would rather not since it was really dark in there and he couldn't really see anything.

He decided to follow the stream since he'd rather have his temporary home near a water source so he wouldn't die in case he couldn't find his way back in the future. Ark also decided to test out his new skills once he had found his place. There was one thing he realized though that made him feel really stupid, he was too fast, he couldn't really control his body properly if he went full speed. And that is why he needed to spend a few points on dexterity in the future.

Having walked along this giant river for more than an hour Ark found a pretty big tree that was hollowed out in the middle so he could stay inside for cover, he decided that it was an optimal place to hide and get some rest for the night that was already upon him.. His plan for the next day after was to try out his new magic skills and see if he could maybe even create some new ones since he should be able to do pretty much anything he wanted to with his Mana. If he could create water he should be able to create other elements as well right?
