Golden opened his eyes confused, his memories were fuzzy and his body heavy."You finally awakened, I already thought that you would remain unconscious forever."That was Swordmad's voice, who was beside Golden's bed, sat in a chair."Stop. You look confused. Clear your mind, or even if I explain to you what happened, you won't understand."Golden stopped talking and tried to recall what had happened to him."I went to the Clan's Gathering and won the exhibition battle against Blackor..."Until that moment, he recalled clearly."After that... something weird happened... everyone fell into an illusion... but I wasn't affected... Someone wanted to kill my sister... and I tried to save her...""But I failed... and received a hit in the chest... I died.""To be more exacts, you almost died, you are still alive and completely healed since a long time ago, but you remained unconscious until now."Golden was trying to think more quickly, but his mind wasn't completely clear."Then... for how

Inside the Beast Trial, Golden didn't feel like he was inside the Penny clan anymore. He felt like if he was in a wild forest.Golden cautiously walked as he started to look for some edible herbs or fruits and some source of fresh water.When facing the Beast Trial, the beasts weren't the only factor to consider, one needed to survive.Golden had a lot of knowledge about herbs and fruits obtained from books, so he didn't fear eating something poisonous, which was something that ended the lives of many participants before him. The quickest ones to die were always those who died because of poison, not from beasts.Furthermore, Golden had the system to back up the information he remembered. He couldn't make a mistake in remembering something wrong as the system records were perfect.There were a lot of edible herbs and fruits in the forest, which relieved Golden a lot. He could differentiate what he could eat from what he couldn't, but he would be in dire straits if he couldn't find anyt

After standing in front of the Fire-wood Tiger, Golden also identified the species of the big white wolf.It was of rare species called Frost Wolf. That species was similar to the common Snow Wolf, but a Frost Wolf had better Innate Talents than an ordinary Snow Wolf.However, the main elements of a Frost Wolf were ice and darkness, and in the current environment, those elements weren't in any advantage.Ice was a subcategory of the water element, and having just an affinity for ice would give one only the talent to practice the ice section of the water element.At midday inside a forest, the ice element couldn't be used at its maximum efficiency, and on the other hand, the fire element from the Fire-wood Tiger got boosted. The current location was the most advantageous for it.Furthermore, with the Frost Wolf's weakened state, the battle against the Fire-wood tiger was a completely disadvantageous one for the Frost Wolf. The only reason the battle had continued until that moment was

To Golden, the next sub-quest in the Main Chain Quest was as depressing as the previous.[Reach 1-star in the Origin Path. Reward: Battle Skill and Magic Skill.]Golden already expected that kind of quest because in normal circumstances, reaching the ten points in each stat just before his tenth birthday would already be very good, so it was normal that the next sub-quest was to reach the 1-star Mortal.Golden closed the Quest Menu and focused on revising the Origin Path Training Method he obtained as a reward from the previous sub-quest.The Origin Path Training method was way more difficult than a training method from the Magus Path or the Warrior Path.Golden obtained training methods to become a Magus or a Warrior from his sister, they were the top-quality training methods in the Nacesai Academy, and since Golden saved Ange's life, the Academy approved of letting him have a copy of the methods to study.Of course, Golden didn't need them because he would be practicing the Origin P

Golden was thinking about that when the system prompt appeared.[A beast voluntarily formed a life-bound contract with the user. The Origin Qi in the user's body provoked a breakthrough in the beast's body.]Golden looked at the little wolf with a strange face.A Magus could use special techniques to enslave beasts to work for him. Given the usually weak body of a Magus, having a beast to buy time while casting spells was very useful.However, Golden didn't plan to do that because he didn't have a method to do it, nor he wanted to do it.Golden didn't want to part with the little wolf, but he thought that the little wolf's life would be better in its natural habitat rather than going with him as a slave.Originally, Golden wanted to give freedom to the little wolf as he already was responsible for its parent's death. At least the system considered Golden as the killer of both. Moreover, taking it to the outside without a contract would provoke a calamity to the little wolf as the exit
