Chapter 8 Shiny Little Gossamer Wings He had spent a good portion of the last month on his feet. In all of his time in the castle he had never thought he’d have to run this much again. An image entered his mind unprompted of his parents running to either side of him. Struggling to keep pace with their larger steps, he was constantly being pulled along by both arms. Through the trees and undergrowth in a predetermined path to the castle, where they lowered him down into the arms of a goblin. That was one of his earliest memories, and the last one he had of his family. He didn’t even know which goblin it was that took him. He spent that night and every night in the castle alone from then. Nik’s mind snapped back to the present, he was running with Pearl flying overhead. They hadn’t seen or heard any sign of their potential pursuers, but that didn’t mean that none would come. He was getting so very tired of the constant and endless running. It was like his entire life had become nothing more than training his physical endurance and his ability to endure pain. I wish this system had some sort of healing skill, because running around with an arrow stuck in me or claw slashes across my stomach is getting so very old, he thought. He didn’t know much about the system now that he thought about it. He had never heard of anyone else learning skills the way he had, or from elements that weren’t hardwired into their species. He looked up towards his windborne friend and said, “When we stop somewhere with any amount of safety at all, we should train up some more.” She swooped low to offer her reply, “And we need to talk about the flames you used back there.” “Right, and talk about the flames,” he conceded. “Deeper into the forest and farther from the adventurer’s road and cities. Maybe a few days of travel and then we will stop,” she said before returning to her higher vantage point. The two of them ventured onward, stopping only to forage the vegetation for meals. Which naturally made Nik’s heart leap out of his throat when the bell informed him of his foraging skill increasing to level 2. He would need to stop being surprised by that at some point. It made sense that this would be my first skill to level up, though. It’s definitely the one I’ve used the most so far. Weird that I haven’t gotten a quest in a while, considering everything I’ve had to go through since the chimpanther, he shivered as the thought brought him back to the fight. If the system wasn’t going to give him survival XP, then it seemed like he was going to have to take initiative, that is if he wanted to gain levels. For now he would focus on his skills. Then another bell rang out in his head, with the appearance of another box of text. Quest Received! Grow Five Skills to Level 2 There’s more to life than just surviving, and you’ve barely been able to do that. Reward: 50 XP Progress: 3 of 5 Quest Received! Take Initiative and Go on Your First Hunt Loot an Enemy Killed by You Reward: Gain Access to Inventory 25 XP “Okay, so it definitely feels like the system is listening in on my thoughts,” Nik said as he tried not to trip on roots or rocks. This text was blocking everything that wasn’t in his peripherals. “What was that?” Pearl asked. “I just got two quests at once, and both seem to be in answer to what I was just thinking,” he said with a puzzled expression on his face. “The first quest is to get two more skills to level 2, and the second is to hunt and loot an enemy. Together they would bring me just shy of Level 3 and give me access to some ‘inventory’ thing.” Pearl had a thought that she did not like, but voiced it nonetheless, “Well, the second one might help with getting trapper to level two. I have seen traps left for small animals, and I know you should be eating at least some meat, you are not a faery after all.” It’s not that Nik never ate any meat, but he certainly hadn’t ever hunted, much less eaten something he’d killed. In fact, the only two things he’d ev
