A Journey That Changed The World.

Archer fell through the treetops, flexing his sharp claws and lighting his surroundings with an eery violet glow from his smile. After scanning the surrounding jungle, he melted into the shadows and traveled through the wilderness unseen by the beasts.

Soon, he came across a group of tiger-looking creatures, but they were pure while and had grey strips relaxing in a clearing while three were on the lookout. Archer stopped and scanned the creatures to see their strength and if it would give him a good experience.

[Jungle Claws]

[Rank: A]

'They're weak, but experience is experience,' Archer thought.

Afterward, he used the shadows to kill the Jungle Claws and quickly tore them apart using ambushed tactics as he sprung out of the darkness like a jack in the box. Soon, thirty of the giant beasts lay dead in the clearing, and Archer felt the experience pouring into his body.

A smile graced his shadowy face as he vanished from the spot after storing the tiger corpses and started his beast hunt. Archer soon found some black and red rhino-sized hogs traveling north as they barreled through the jungle.

Effortlessly navigating the dense foliage of the jungle, the creatures moved with agility, their powerful bodies colliding with trees and sending them crashing to the forest floor, creating a cacophonous roar that echoed through the jungle.

When Archer saw these creatures, he grew curious and scanned them.

[Jungle Hog]

[Rank B]

Seeing these beasts, Archer thought, 'I bet their meat taste, and it's nice.'

With that thought, he sunk into the shadows and targeted the one separated from the herd, as the other beasts weren't paying attention. As he drew near, the creature remained oblivious to his approach.

Archer emerged from the darkness beneath it with precision, catching it by surprise. He slashed at the creature's back legs, causing it to collapse. He then finished it off by plunging his claw into its skull.

Once the beast was dead, Archer did the same to the others after storing them in the Item Box. He decided to collect the bodies and sell them to the Draconia Kingdom so they could profit from them, and he would always have meat to cook.

With that thought, he continued to hunt for twelve hours and only stopped when the sun started to set. Archer found himself on an overhang with no way up, allowing him to relax without thinking about the beasts below sneaking up on him.

After feeling the pangs of hunger, he wasted no time in fashioning a firepit amidst the dense foliage of the jungle. Archer's stomach growled impatiently as the flames crackled and danced, casting an amber glow on the surroundings.

An hour slipped unnoticed as the fire roared to life, its warmth enveloping him. With the fire now blazing brightly, he began preparing the succulent Jungle Hog meat for cooking, eager to sate his appetite.

He watched as the flames crackled and danced while cooking the meeting, causing an amber glow to light up the overhang. His stomach growled when the scent of the meat hit his nose, filling the air and teasing his senses.

Archer waited a little longer before skewering the soft meat and letting the fat drip into the fire and sizzle. His thoughts drifted to his enjoyment of cooking, and he enjoyed doing it outside, especially on a campfire.

After thinking that, he reached into his Item Box and pulled out a bottle of Sunfire sauce and Spicefire Petal Powder, which was spicy. Once Archer prepared them, he waited for the meat to cook, which didn't take long.

He generously covered the meat in the two sauces, which smelled delicious and caused his mouth to water. Soon after Archer prepared the food, he took out some ale he had bought in Starfall City.

Archer started eating the meat and felt it break apart quickly as it was cooked perfectly. With his meal prepared, he settled back against a fallen tree trunk on the overhand, his gaze turning to the night sky's dark expanse.

Elysium's stars twinkled high above, casting their light on the jungle below. Lost in the moment's peace, Archer lifted a juicy piece of meat to his lips, savoring the spicy and sweet flavor explosion as he took a bite.

The tender flesh practically melted in his mouth, the spicy heat of the Spicefire Sauce dancing across his tongue, which he loved. While chewing contentedly, a sudden movement caught his eye.

Glancing upwards, Archer's gaze locked onto a massive silhouette soaring high above the mountain he was on. A pterodactyl, its wingspan stretching wide, glided gracefully through the night sky, its form illuminated by the light of the stars.

Enchanted by the sight, Archer watched in amazement as the prehistoric-looking creature circled overhead before disappearing into the distance. They flew toward a distant mountain. The moment passed, leaving him to wonder what other beasts were roaming this fantastical realm he found himself in.

After that, he finished all the meat he had cooked while admiring the stars above. With the succulent taste of Jungle Hog meat lingering on his tongue, Archer settled down against some blankets he brought out of his Item Box, his eyelids growing heavy with the promise of sleep.

The campfire cast a warm glow over him as the fire's heat brushed against his skin, creating a comfy atmosphere. Just as Archer began to drift into the realm of dreams, a sudden rustling noise disrupted the tranquility of the night.

His senses sharpened, and he instinctively tensed, his gaze scanning the surrounding darkness for any sign of danger.

Archer looked when he heard something, only to see a colossal white snake's head staring down at him while the body was wrapped around the mountain he was on. He remembered who this was and wondered why she was there.

The snake closed in on him before transforming into her human form and asking, "What are you doing?"

He chuckled at her curiosity, ''I was cooking dinner and watching the star,'' he said. ''Would you like to join?''

With a tilt of her head, the woman's snowy white hair cascaded down her back, and her pointed ears twitched as she responded, "Okay."

Archer grinned, springing to his feet. With a swift motion, he breathed fire into the campfire, coaxing it into a roaring blaze. Once doing that, he brought out some more Jungle Hog meat and started cooking it while the woman sat cross-legged opposite him.

Her violet eyes bore into him, but a small smile appeared on her pretty face as she introduced herself, ''I'm Sirenia. The Word Seprent Primordial.''

''Nice to meet you,'' he replied. ''I'm Archer Wyldheart.''

Sirenia nodded and didn't say much else while he cooked the meat. Another hour passed before he pulled out some bread and buttered it. When Sirenia saw this, an adorable, confused expression appeared.

''It's a meat sandwich,'' Archer explained while cutting off some meat and putting it on the bread as he continued. ''Trust me, this food is delicious.''

After speaking, he handed the first sandwich to the snake woman, ''I can smell a descendent of my Father on you,'' Sirenia suddenly said, catching Archer off guard.

''Descendent?'' he questioned while making his sandwich.

Sirenia nodded before elaborating, "Someone born from the offspring of a Cosmic Serpent, much like me, but I'm a World Serpent unlike my parents."

Archer grew curious and wanted to know more, but Sirenia said, ''Stop asking questions and let me eat.''

He nodded before returning to his food. The beasts below shrieked as the fire illuminated them. Archer's keen ears picked up hundreds of sounds around him, prompting him to scan his surroundings, but he saw nothing.

When he did that, Sirenia commented, ''Nothing will come any closer.''

Archer chuckled before resuming his meal, admiring the bustling jungle below. He attempted to converse with the woman who had joined him proved fruitless, as she wasn't very talkative. So, without anything else to do, he decided to check his new status.

[Experience: 1800000>2100000] [HP: 37000>37200]

[Mana: 750000>750300] [Strength: 41000>410200] [Constitution: 39500>40000]

[Stamina: 39500>39700] [Intelligence: 35500>35600] [Void Blaze: 9>10] [Chain Lightning: 8>9] [Aurora Healing: 9>10]

[Anti-Venom: 0>1]

Pleased with the results of his hunting, Archer decided to do it more often to speed up his leveling process so he could fight the stronger foes that would come. After this, he checked the experience and needed to level up.

[Exp: 2100000/4000000]

'Damn, it will take ages to get the experience,' he thought. 'But I can get more proactive with hunting and start with the underground dwarf city as a test ground for it.'

Archer nodded before pulling up his spell sheet to remove some of the ones he doesn't use.

Void Blaze(10)

Cosmic Shield(10)

Cosmic Sword(8)

Blink(10)Cleanse(-)Eldritch Blast(10)Plasma Missiles(10)Thunder Wave(9)Element Bolts(10)Dragon's Breath(10)Meteor Swarm(7)Gate(-)Crown Of Stars(10)Celestial Beam(8)Celestial Arrow(8) - Frost Nova(8) – Earthquake(-) - Solar Flare Barrage(8) Starfall(6)Elemental Fury(8)Chain Lightning(9)Stone Wardens(10)Azur Cannon(9)Azur Comet(6)Mana Manipulation(10)Celestial Serpent(8)Void Rift(5)Soul Sunder(9)Aurora Healing(10)Soul Eater(8)Shadow Prince(4)Shadowspawn(7)Timewarp(4)

When seeing this, Archer knew which ones to get rid of because they were pointless, as he never used them, and started thinking about the ones he didn't want. After a few seconds, a notification appeared in his vision, causing him to smile.
