Chapter 6: New Quest
Chapter 6: New Quest
The corpses drowned in the pool of blood were lying on the ground. Some of them were missing limbs, others had their heads separated from the bodies.
Stomachs of the few had rendered. The guts were falling out from the holes in the stomach. An eerie feeling spread in all directions, sending the chills through the core of the observer. The stink of the blood-covered the jungle, disgusting expression appeared on his face.
The moment Ayaan saw such a scene, a terrible feeling appeared inside his heart, making him puke. He had never seen such a scene, and couldn't adjust himself according to the situation.
It took him over ten minutes calming himself. Then again, he looked at the bloody scene around. Although feeling disgusted, he endured and went towards the corpses to find if anyone was still alive.
Although he found nothing, except more blood and limbs scattered around. After looking at such a scene, no one could remain calm.
However, he didn't understand how the murderer vanished without a trace. After hearing the scream, he arrived at this place in no time but still found nothing.
What happened here? Ayaan thought, but there was no answer.
"He-help" a weak voice came from corpses, jolting him out from his thinking.
Ayaan heard the weak sound, sprinting towards the voice, and found a body lying in between the corpses, twitching in pain. Anyone could tell that this man was standing at the door of the death. He had a deep hole in his stomach and right hand and a leg were missing. Such a miserable death!
Arriving in front of the body, Ayaan asked, "What happened here?"
The man tried to open his eyes, but only darkness greeted him. Failing to open his eyes, the man tried to speak, "Do-don't let him suc-succeed or ma-many inno-innocents will"
However, before he could finish, his twitching body stopped, lifeless.
Falling into deep contemplation, he looked at the body severely. Although he didn't understand what he was talking about he was sure of one thing. Many lives were at stake.
'Who cares? I don't know him? Why would I care who killed him? Anyway, I am struggling myself, and I don't have the time to poke my nose in other people's matter.'

Walking away without looking back and continuing his journey. Half an hour later, he opened his status window.

After looking at the status window, Ayaan's gaze fell on the magic art. He didn't know the use of magic art; therefore, asking Birdy about it, "Through magic arts, mages could comprehend the distinct elements'.
You have the magic library, so you can just kill some beast and level up yourself. But the ordinary mage needs magic arts to draw magic power inside their bodies for reaching the next realm."
After that, pausing for a second, she continued, "You will also need a magic art to comprehend the element. So, we will talk about it when you have enough credits to buy it from the library."
Ayaan nodded in understanding before asking again, "Um I have one more question. What is the difference between intelligence and wisdom? And what is their use?"
"Intelligence is just your brainpower; it will decide how much memory you can store in your brain. The more your intelligence, the more information you can remember, forgetting nothing." Birdy explained.
Ayaan's mouth went wide when he heard her. Then asked, "So, that's the reason I can't remember everything after becoming a dog because my intelligence lowered?"
"Well... ya, that's the reason. Every attribute has its benefits, so you can't ignore any of them." then she continued, "As for the wisdom, it will help you comprehend things. How can you use spells without understanding? The more you understand any spell, the more powerful it will become. Wisdom is the only attribute that increases the comprehension of the mage."
"Without high wisdom, no one can become a mage. Only you are the exception who can improve your attributes easily." After the explanation of the Birdy, he understood how lucky he was to get the library.
Ayaan looked around before saying, "It's time to complete the quest. Now, I want to get some credits."
After that, he searched for the beast around the same strength as him. After looking around for some time, he saw a black panther resting under the tree. Focusing on the panther, its status bar appeared in front of Ayaan.

Only strength attribute could give him some trouble as he looked at the beast's attributes. Therefore, he didn't worry much and moved towards the creature, making no sound. Hiding between the trees' copse and chanted the spell.
Now, he had extensive compatibility with the spell. So, he completed the chant in just a few seconds and
'Boom!'
'Roar!'
Simultaneously, as the attack landed on the panther, a painful howl echoed in the forest. Wasting no time, Ayaan dashed towards the panther, which was whimpering in pain on the ground. Finally, using his front paws, he dug inside the skull of the panther, making it wail in agony.
The panther struggled, but Ayaan didn't lose his grip. Using his strength, he split the skull of the beast in two.
'Creak!'
'Boom!'
All the brain matter splattered around. Some fell on the ground, some landed him. The white matter mixed with blood painted his white fur, spreading the stink all over his body, making his small body gruesome.
Ding: successfully killed the black panther, received ten exp.
'Roooaar!!'
As he killed the panther, an enraged howl arrived from behind him. Turning around, he saw another black panther with the double size of the previous one. It looked at him fiercely, sending the shivers into his body.
"Fuck!!"
