Chapter 2: New Area Unlocked

"<>, <>...and you...get sparked"

Elijah walked through the woods, unhinged as he used <> to eliminate all the low-level monsters. Cloud rested on his head as if nothing was happening around her.

"Oh, the drops are surprisingly good from such low level mobs" He thought to himself as he leaned down to gather all the things that the goblins and kobolds dropped.

"Level up, you have gained a level, your rewards await you in your window screen" The voice of the system sounded and startled the boy.

He scratched his head, confused that it was really like a game, although the god said clearly that it was a life or death situation. "Window, stats"

As the system suggested Elijah opened the window, and there were 2 not allocated stat points.

"Ohh that's nice to see" He smiled and went to touch the screen to put his new levels into Agility all at once but suddenly Cloud woke up and jumped on his hand making him put both of them in strength.

"...OK OK it's just the 2nd level...but if this happens again, I'm gonna roast you and eat you, you little rascal" He said trying to calm himself down. In response, the little fox gave back a smile and jumped down to start consuming the corpses of the defeated monsters.

"Cloud...if you wanted food I could have bought you some in the next town over" He  exclaimed, disgusted by his companion having a feast. "Anyways, let's keep going. It's really dark and we need shelter"

The mammal jumped back on the boys head and happily started nuzzling on it as he kept walking through the forest. After carefully passing by the thick bushes and tall trees, he stumbled upon some injured elves trying to fight back against a giant high level monster.

"<>" Elijah quickly jumped behind a tree trunk and used his skill to analyze the situation. "Two level 40 elves and one...level...??? MONSTER?" He freaked out after seeing their deference in levels and most importantly the deference between him and the monster.

"<>, <>, <>, <>" He repeatedly used <> to aid the elves but felt his Mana running out so he sat behind the trunk and watched. The two men fighting against the tree looking monster started healing after Elijah's help and they dealt some damage to their enemy. As a real gamer though, when the beast in front of them was low in HP he used his last remaining Mana Point to finish it off, in the process passing out of Mana exhaustion.

"Hehe, I might just...level...up" He succumbed to his dizziness and fell on the floor without his senses. His fox companion jumped down and assumed a defensive position, using her white elegant fur as a shield.

Just minutes after, or at least what felt like that, he opened his eyes and jolted up, looking around. "You, you are the elves that fought against that mob"

"Agianst what?" One of the armored men replied confused.

"Nothing, are you both allright?" He said, falling back onto the comfy bed they put him on.

"If it weren't for you sir and the heavenly beast, we wouldn't have made it out alive" The other elf turned around and pointed to Cloud, which was wearing a high class cloth and was feasting in delicious looking fruits.

"Uhm...that's my" As he began talking both of the men looked at him with glistening eyes like looking at a god or something. "Never mind" He sighed and relaxed, trying to replenish his Mana Points.

"So, sir benefactor, what might your name be?" The man on the left said with a broad smile, his long white hair and green eyes shined from the light of the sun.

"Uhm, Elijah...where am I?" He asked confused but certainly relaxed by their hospitality.

"Hanor Ponto sir benefactor, the kingdom of the elves and specifically you're in the kings guest room laying on the bed" Both of the elves opened up to reveal an old man with a beard and long white hair like the other elves.

"WHAT THE HECK? I'M IN A NEW HIGH LEVELED AREA AND ON TOP OF THAT THE KING IS IN FRONT OF ME?" He was freaking out in his mind but on the outside he was looking all calm and collected as the kings stood up and walked towards him.

Quickly with whatever Mana he had recovered he used <> on the old man but when the window popped up only question marks appeared both on his level and his HP, just like the monster. "Hahaha, young one, don't be so cautious, this skill won't work on me. Our difference in levels is too high" He let out a hearty laugh and sat next to Elijah who was laying down on the bed.

Even finishing off the high-level monster he still couldn't see the level of the king. "I-I'm so sorry your majesty" He audibly gulped in the old man's presence. Wasting no time, he opened the window to see his new level.

He started thinking in silence, he hadn't noticed that both the king and the other 2 elves were looking at him and waiting for him to speak. "When I was level 2, I could see the level 40 elves but not the monster...meaning that there is at least a 40 level difference between us" He looked terrified and started sweating as he looked back up at the king.

"To what may I owe the pleasure of your visit your majesty?" He smiled trying to hide his fear.

"...Young one, there is no need to be scared, you should be happy instead" The old man smiled back and patted Elijah on the head like he was a little kid despite him being 18 years old.

"Huh? Why is that. Excuse me, why should I be happy your majesty? Is there a special occasion?" He started feeling at ease, like the old kings hand soothed him as he tried to maintain his manners.

"There is no need to talk politely either, after all you saved my precious children so I owe my life to you, I should be the one talking formally" The king pulled his hand back and slightly bowed to Elijah which was still laying down.

He quickly sat straight and fixed his hair. "Your majesty, please don't bow to a nobody like me, I just stole the pray of your chi--WAIT WHAT? Your children?"

Once again he got shocked as the realization hit him. "I'm Edoris and this is my sister Alvis" The lightly guarded elf said and then pointed to the elf cladded in heavy armor.

She slowly removed her armor to reveal her pointy ears and long white hair along with her shiny golden eyes. "I'm Alvis, thanks for saving my life sir Elijah" She said with a blush across her cheeks.

With his jaw in the floor, Elijah regained his composure and cleared his throat. "Nice to meet both of you"

"Now that introductions are over, I would like to talk about your rewards sir Elijah" The king said and gave him a warm smile once again.

"Leave him alone you old man, he just woke up" Edoris pulled his hair back and looked frustrated. Alvis gasped and covered her mouth at her brother's display and Elijah...needless to say he was shocked for yet another time.

"You idiot son of mine...Oh spirits, I Asmus ask for your help. Close that filthy mouth of my son <>" After his casting a small spirit appeared and used a kind of magic that made Edoris mouth shut and not open even if he wanted to.

"I hate to admit it but however rude he might be, he is right. When you're feeling better come down and we'll talk it over a feast" He fixed his hair and took both his children by their ear, practically dragging them out of the room.

"Cloud...come here please" Obediently, the little white fox made her way to the bed where Elijah once again fell back and laid down. Shortly after he started petting his companion.

"Let's allocate the points that I got and then go to eat, what do you say about that huh?" He smiled at Cloud and she nuzzled closer as he opened the system window.

"Allright everything into Mp it is" He happily put all 50 points on his Mana stat without even bothering looking at any other stat, even Cloud was shocked and she couldn't even see the window.
