[Raven's POV]

It's now Saturday, <10:05 A.M>. And I'm back to a very familiar place.

Trees that are as tall as one-story house with bright and healthy green leaves, grass that as tall as a man's waist, and the surrounding air that's filled with denser mana.

"The Red Wolves' Mountain."

I mumbled while looking at the tall mountain in front of me.

I have no good memory in this place, this is the first place where I almost die.

"Well, this time it will be different."

I muttered as I dashed inside the mountain.

I'm emitting a strong and majestic presence using my mana and <Monarch's Presence>. So there's no monster nor beast that blocked my path.

I'm alone this time as I left Levina and Yuki in the academy.

I left Levina with Keara so she can protect her.

While I gave Yuki a task that she will do while I'm away.

When I entered pretty deep enough in the mountain that I'm sure no one will see me.

Swish-

A pair of black wings grew on my back, then I flew toward the top of the mountain.

"This way, I won't need to take complicated paths."

I said as a satisfied smile appeared on my face.

***

Not long I reached my destination. I landed gently on the ground, took a bottle of low stamina and mana potion, then I drank them.

"Phew..."

Flying is indeed faster, but it's more exhausting.

'And here I thought when I was a kid that I will not be tired anymore if I can fly...'

I thought as I recovered some of my mana and stamina.

Then looking in front of me, I can see a familiar stone wall.

I walked toward it and went in to a specific area that I still remember then...

Click-

After flipping something, the ground shook a but, then a path appeared from the stone wall after a while.

Not wasting any moment, I entered it.

I came back in to a familiar messy room with books scattered all over the floor.

Then I saw a familiar skeleton.

I glanced at every corner of the room, making sure there's no oversized wolf that's dyed in red.

After making sure there's none, I slightly lift my right hand and aimed it at the floor where the books are. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄e𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

Fwoosh–

Then I stored all the books scattered in the floor in my spatial storage.

'I can use every book here to practice magic, I can also sell some of them, and use some to bargain with Alec and the other mages.'

A smile appeared from my face as I thought of that.

After storing all of the books. I walked to the skeleton that's still sitting lifelessly on a wooden chair, like how it was the last time I saw it.

Looking at the skeleton, I opened my mouth.

"System, can you appraise it now?"

[As I said before, I can now appraise almost anything and everything.]

I nodded and talked again.

"Appraise the skeleton."

[Okay.]

The system immediately answered, and then a transparent bluish system window appeared in front of me.

=====

"What the fuck is this?"

I muttered in shock as my eyes widened at what I'm seeing right now.

I can't take my eyes off from the window even if I want to.

Even though most of the skeleton's stats are just "???".

I can tell how strong this person when it was alive just by looking at its intelligence and mana control stat.

[That's the only information I can get.]

The system words then snapped me out of my daze.

I shook my head, before thanking the system.

"No, it's enough. Thanks"

I said and looked at the skeleton's stats again.

Looking at its skills, what caught my attention was <Mana Path Preset>. It's the skill I want to acquire, it's one of the skills I need to make [Nyx] stronger. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

The skill lets you set or record a path for your mana in advance, then when you pour mana in that path you set, mana will automatically flow to the path you set with this skill. You can change the recorded path anytime.

"Though, it's a rare skill and really hard to find, it's also expensive as fuck even in the system shop. I didn't expect the skeleton I made just for an extra detail have it."

I mumbled in disbelief, I feel very unlucky at the moment as a dead person have the skill that I want, while I don't.

It also have the skill <Spell Memorization>, it's a skill that lets you record or store a spell in advance, then later, you can activate or cast it anytime without chanting and consuming mana.

It's a rare skill but it can be acquired pretty easily than <Mana Path Preset>, as a matter of fact, Adelle already have that skill, and Alec will have it on the future too by practicing a certain method of mana circulation he made.

Well, he didn't really made it. In the story, Alec just mixed the mana circulation from his past life and another mana circulation from his current life, he adjusted the 2 until it became compatible with each other, then it merged into each other and became a 1 whole efficiency-focused mana circulation method.

'I can just ask Alec to teach me later in the future after he learns the skill...'

I thought and shrugged. Then after checking the skeleton's skills, I looked at the traits of it.

"<Legacy>, <The One Near The Truth>, and <Servant of Gods>."

I can't read the traits' descriptions and effects, but I know they rock.

Just the traits' names made me excited.

'My traits' names look like a joke compared to these.'

I thought, still looking at the skeleton's traits.

After some time, I closed the skeleton's status window as I don't have anything more to see.

I also can't get anything out of it.

"If you're alive, you'll be strong as hell."

I said.

"Don't know why the fuck you chose to live and die like a hermit..."

Then I added before placing my hand on top of the skeleton's skull with the intention of brushing some dust off on it.

Fwooosh–

But as I made contact with the skeleton, a bright light erupted from the skeleton and wrapped itself and me.

"W-what!?"

I got startled of course and soon got confused, I don't know what's going on.

Anyway it's too bright so I changed my eyes into a cat's using the <Partial Transformation> of the [Cat's Earring]. It is said that cat's eyes can see well in dark and bright lights.

It was just after doing so that I saw the system's message.

[The skeleton's traits, <Servant of Gods> and <Legacy>, are reacting to your trait, <???>.]

'Why are those traits reacting to mine?'

'In the first place, what is really with this <???> trait anyway?'

I questioned what is it really again, the trait <???>, it always do something on weird times!

I got a lot of question in my mind but first I tried to remove my hand from the skeleton's skull, but It's useless as I couldn't take it off.

"!"

Then I felt a continuous pain in my head like it's being cracked open.

I tried to scream, but no voice came out from my mouth.

"...!"

My whole trembled under such pain, the veins all over my body bulged and seems to be gonna pop any second.

I fell and my knees, banging my chest with powerful stike of my fist, I can't breathe!

My soundless screaming continued for seconds.

Then after enduring of that hellish and radiating pain, I lost consciousness.
