[Current level: 10]

[Congratulations! You have met the requirements to receive your next spell.]

‘Come on… something big!’

[New spell: Blink Step]

[Description: Ability to move at incredible speeds for short bursts, effectively traversing short distances in the blink of an eye.]

Tyr read the description over again several times. He wasn’t blown away by it, but he wasn’t at all disappointed either.

‘It doesn’t seem half bad.’ While thinking about a potential scenario where he could use this ability, he thought back to where he was nearly impaled by the Carniboar.

‘If I had this back then, I could have avoided being stabbed much easier. It would have actually been perfect for that situation… maybe that’s why GG gave me this spell specifically over any other one.’

Needless to say, he was excited to try it out. But before that, he knew he had some stat points to distribute.

A slight smile appeared on his face as he opened his status tab. For some reason, this process was just exciting.

Feeling himself grow in power gave Tyr an electrifying buzz of exhilaration unlike any other he had experienced before as if he was designed for it or something.

‘It looks like I don’t need Aura to use this new spell either. That’s good since I still can’t put any points into it.’ Tyr thought about where he should distribute his points more carefully this time.

After several minutes, he found what he thought was the perfect split.

‘All of those creatures who were chasing me were faster than me, all except for that bitch ass slime, that is. Still, I should want to be able to at least keep up with them for now. My strength seems decent from that last encounter, but I need to be constantly upping it as my main stat. I don’t think there is anything else as important.

My stamina is okay as well, but it could need some points just in case…’

[Vitality: 6/6–> 9/9]

[Strength: 10–> 14]

[Stamina: 6/6–> 9/9]

[Speed: 6–> 10]

This seemed pretty balanced for now. As soon as Tyr put these stats in, a tingling feeling arose slightly in his chest.

The feeling expanded out rapidly, covering his entire body with a warm burst for a short second.

At the end of it, Tyr felt rejuvenated. Gripping his hands, he could feel the extra strength in the tips of his fingers.

Walking forward, he felt lighter as well. He decided to hop in the air and felt like he was floating for a second. That’s just how much of a difference even a few stat points made.

“Hell yeah! I gotta do some more hunting. I can become nearly unstoppable if I pair this new ability with Hypnosis!”

[Congratulations, you have completed the achievement: (First Original Spell).]

[Reward: First Sealed Memory Key.]

‘A key? To a sealed memory of all things. What the hell is this?’ Tyr was obviously confused by this sudden message that randomly popped up in front of him.

A golden key that was shining extremely bright materialized a few inches in front of his nose, dropping down onto his open palm.

It stopped glowing, becoming a normal golden key.

He held it between his thumb and index fingers, at which point a small keyhole appeared in the air in front of him.

The air around the keyhole was warped, as though cracking before molding itself back to normal again and again.

Although a little puzzled, Tyr didn’t hesitate and put the key into the keyhole before giving it a slight twist.

He heard a light click resonate through the air for a split second, and before he knew it he was gone… mentally, that is.

***

A loud bang echoed across what felt like the entire world, booming through Tyr’s eardrums.

What he felt at this moment was surreal, as though he was in a dream yet in reality at the same time.

All he could see in front of him were explosions and blasts. At random moments he would see a flash of blood spattering across a wall, and at another instance, he would see the vision of people arguing and screaming at each other.

Their words were muffled by the overwhelming amount of sounds and flashes of various visions Tyr was witnessing all at once, but what he could undoubtedly make out was the fact that it was violent.

He saw people being butchered and exploded into a thousand pieces of blood and guts.

He saw buildings topple over, maniacs laugh with frenzied looks on their faces, and mothers cry for their fallen children.

And then… all of this suddenly stopped. Tyr now lay within a small and dark, enclosed space.

There was only a small hole to peek through that had dim brown light shining through it.

In the distance, he could still hear explosions and screams, but right now, what he heard were the distinct voices of a few people in the same room as him outside of this enclosed box he was inside.

“Take him and go, Father! A weak planet, one with no Aura so that he can properly grow until the time is right. Take the Grimoire with you as well.”

Tyr heard these rough, manly words as clear as day.

And then, time itself shifted and warped out of nowhere. Tyr was still in the same place, but multiple seconds seemed to have gone by.

“Please, Lord Atlas! Only you can do this. You have the strongest control over it… make sure he comes back here. Make sure he–” This time it was the feminine voice of what seemed to be a distraught lady screaming at the top of her lungs.

“I understand… leave the rest to me.” A third voice sounded, this one even more deep than the first male. There was a short pause, and then: “Stars!” The voice sternly exclaimed: “If you die before this boy sees your eyes, I will never forgive you!”

Time warped once again, but right before it did, the faint voice of the first male saying “Yes, father–” Sounded before being cut off.

Next, all that Tyr could fathom was short flashes of visions of him being carried by a mysterious figure hiding under a dark hood.

Another flash showed him dashing across an obliterated battlefield.

Another flash showed him traveling across what seemed to be a galaxy scattered with countless stars and brilliant lights.

The last words he heard in these bizarre and indescribable memories were by the figure holding him.

The figure looked down at him–several planets and stars flying rapidly past his head in the background.

The figure looked slightly old with a 6-inch white beard that blended into black, an ash-covered face, and azure eyes as bright as the stars behind him.

“Only you can do it, Tyr Evolion Thalonis. Do not fail.”

***

Tyr was back in the forest, where he had unlocked his First Sealed Memory.

“Grandpa?”
