Chapter 10: Chapter 7- Side Quest Completed

2nd Rank Monster Core!

 

Looking at the 2nd rank monster core laying on the ground, Cain was unable to hide the light of greed in his eyes despite his effort.

 

He could feel his tiny heart beating faster from exhilaration. It was as if he was looking at a peerless treasure.

 

He smacked his lips while salivating with greed as he was looking at the 2nd rank monster core.

 

The fact that he didn’t immediately pounce towards it like a hungry wolf after knowing its usefulness in itself was a miracle.

 

The system didn’t just identify the 2nd rank monster core, it also fed Cain information about its origin and usefulness.

 

He knew from the system that a monster core was a condensed form of spiritual energy. It was the thing that separated a wild and mundane monster from an evolved one.

 

Not only it was used as a container to store energy, but the monster's core also contained their soul.

 

Aside from that, Cain also learned that he was capable of absorbing the energy within a monster core to level up and further increase his strength.

 

As such, one could realize why he was reacting this way. This was the piece of information that caught his attention the most.

 

“It seems like I’ll be able to complete the second mission much earlier than expected” Cain concluded with an exciting look in his eyes as he was looking at the monster core on the ground.

 

Without wasting any more time, Cain impatiently rushed towards the 2nd Rank monster core on the ground.

 

He didn’t want to wait any longer. He wanted to reach level 2 as soon as possible to complete the 2nd mission.

 

Only by completing the 2nd mission would he have a chance to complete the 1st mission and prevent the system from erasing him.

 

Although he was reborn as a rat, one of the most loathsome creatures there was, he didn’t want to die. He still had hope that one day he would be able to regain his human form.

 

As soon as Cain arrived in front of the 2nd Rank monster core, he tried to pick it up with his forepaws but it was simply too big for its tiny paws.

 

The 2nd Rank monster core was searing hot, but that did not concern him as he was trying his hardest to pick it up and leave this damn place.

 

“Damn it!” Cain cursed in frustration. He couldn’t believe he was struggling to accomplish such a simple task.

 

At the same time, he couldn’t help but think about his human hands.

 

[Ding! Discover 2nd Rank monster core. Would the host like to absorb it]

 

As Cain was struggling to pick up the 2nd Rank monster core, the cold and mechanical voice of the system suddenly rang out within his mind.

 

Upon hearing the system’s words, a surprised as well as an exciting expression suddenly appeared on his face.

 

Though Cain knew that he was capable of absorbing the 2nd Rank monster core to level up and increase strength, he didn’t know how to.

 

He was going to take the monster somewhere safe and try to find a way to absorb it, but thanks to the system, it seemed to like he didn’t have to go through all that hardship.

 

“Hell yeah!”Cain answered excitedly without hesitation.

 

In the next instant, Cain suddenly felt that the monster core’s heat had turned into a warm current which flowed into his body through his fingers, circulating in his entire body, from his head to his hind paws, before returning to the monster in his abdomen at last.

 

The warm current didn’t stop flowing ceaselessly through his tiny body.

 

All of the body parts that the warm current has reached, seemed to have been strengthened tremendously, whether it was his internal organs or bones.

 

Nonetheless, it wasn’t painful at all. He felt very comforted and refreshed as if someone was massaging him.

 

A few minutes later, the 2nd Rank monster core in his hand slowly shrank and disappeared.

 

At the same time, the warm current stopped flowing through his body.

 

After the warm current ceased, Cain let out a long breath. Having been nourished by this wave of energy, he felt that his body had become lighter and several times stronger.

 

At the same time, his body seemed to have grown a little bigger. Though it wasn’t that much, it was still visible to the naked eye. He has now grown into 30 centimeters black and white rat.

[Ding! Reaching Level 2 Quest has been successfully completed]

 

[The reward for successfully completing the quest has been delivered]

 

[Mission Reward: Azure World’s Wisdom. It's a skill that allows the user to understand any creature in the Azure world]

 

At the same time, Cain suddenly felt a part of his tiny brain has been unlocked as a vast amount of information suddenly flowed within it.

 

Name: Cain Bradford

Race: Mutated Black Rat

Level: 6

Exp: 200 (1400)

Cultivation Technique

Martial Skill: None

Innate Skill: King of the Jungle, Azure World’s Wisdom.

Looking at his new stat as well as sensing the boiling power now within his tiny body, Cain couldn’t help but feel excited.

 

“What tremendous physical power.” Cain could feel that his current power was at least several times greater than before.

 

After reaching level 6, the physical characteristics of his body had all been tremendously enhanced including his senses.

 

“Now, I’m not at the very bottom of the food chain anymore and have a little strength to protect myself.” He added.

 

After absorbing the 2nd Rank monster core and successfully completing the second mission, Cain didn’t immediately leave.

 

Instead, he went to search the corpses on the ground to see if he could find anything useful and any clue that could tell him about this world.

 

Unfortunately, he didn’t seem to find anything useful on them.

 

“Ohh well, I can’t be too greedy.” He said after coming out empty-handed.

 

“It’s getting dark. I need to find a safe place to crash.” He added as he looked at the night sky.

 

However, as Cain was about to leave, he noticed a small ring on the finger of one of the dismembered hands on the ground.

 

The ring was simple and unadorned, but elegant at the same time. It was similar to a thimble.

 

From its outer appearance, it was completely mediocre, and it looked to be made of brass.

 

Its surface was smooth and slippery; it was obvious with only a single glance that the ring was quite old. Besides this, nothing else could be discerned about it.

 

As Cain fixated his gaze upon the small ring, the system’s voice suddenly rang out within his mind.

 

[Spatial Ring: A Magic ring with a pocket dimension inside that’s capable of storing certain types of items]

 

“Nice!” Cain blurted out as he went and took out the small ring from the finger of the dismembered hand.

 

However, before Cain could even have time to admire the ring in his hand, he suddenly felt a great sense of danger, and he immediately dodged at high speed while turning his head to look behind himself.

 

“Swish!”

He saw an azure blur flying towards him like a bolt of lightning. It was a silver arrow. It was emanating a cold light that made Cain’s heart turn into ice.

 

Bang!

 

As the arrow hit the ground, it created a large gaping hole as it buried deep within the ground. If he was a second late, he would have been impaled and skewed into the ground.

 

“What the fuck.” Cain blurted out with a frightened expression on his face.

 

At the same time, he didn't dare to waste anytime as he turned into a flash and fled deeper into the mountain range at the highest speed he could muster without looking back.

 

“Holy smoke! What kinda speed and reflex is that?!” In the next second, a voice filled with astonishment and shock suddenly echoed out within the forest.

 

“Don’t let it get away, that little beast still has Elder Lei’s Spatial Ring in its possession. We need to recover it before it went deeper into the forest.” Another voice anxiously added.

 

Meanwhile, as Cain was running for his life, the cold and mechanical voice of the system rang out in his mind again.

 

[Side Mission: Escape from your pursuers] 

[Mission Success Reward: The opening of the System’s Dimensional Storage]

 

[Mission Failure: None]
