《Exploring Another World》 The beginning [Ding! you have arrived safely to the destination.]. A robotic sound announced. ''''h-huh !? where am I? Am I dreaming ?''''Said the young boy who was in the middle of a big forest. The young man has a black hair, a pair of charming silver eyes that makes your heart skip a beat, a fair silky skin and looked around 17 years old. The forest was huge to the point that everything that the teen saw was greenery. '' Why am I here? I remember that I had finished my training for the day then before I started changing... I felt dizzy and collapsed!!! Does that mean that I got kidnapped? No, no. People kidnap to get money and since I''m here alone it doesn''t seem like it. '' First, the teenager looked around a bit and checked his body and belongings. He sighed in relief because he didn''t find anything wrong with his body and even his backpack which had in it an empty water bottle, a change of clothes and a towel. '' Everything is okay for now, I had better get to a higher ground to get a better view. '' Said the handsome young man, then he started climbing a tall tree. *roar* a black bear that had a horn on its forehead and was 3 metres tall was standing 10 metres away from its prey, the teenager. The teenager didn''t make any sudden moves while trying to process the situation. ''OH SHIT! This doesn''t look good at all! A freaking bear with a horn!? Haha... Either this is a joke or this thing is going to tear me apart! I have to move as slowly as possible without making any sudden moves and get away from it!'' Just as the teenager started moving, the bear gave pursuit, in a matter of 2sc it has already moved 7 metres. '' Wow! Isn''t bears supposed to be slow? What the heck is this creature?'' [Beep! monster information: Race: Adult Mutated bear(??)

Well, whatever, for now I have some information on my opponent. But how am I supposed to run from this beast.?'' The bear gave the teenager an attack using his paw that knocked him 5 meters away even thought he was able to avoid serious damage at the last second. Just as the boy landed his mind was working over its limits trying to find a way to survive. Then out of nowhere words appeared in the teen''s mind :[ IMAGINE is the ignition word and your imagination is its commander and source of power. ] '''' IMAGINE. ''''Said the boy. Then he was enveloped by a mysterious power and as if he done this hundreds of times before, he put his hands in front of himself and said: '''' Lightning chains. '''' Countless chains appeared which grabbed the bear''s whole body restraining and paralyzing him. Then with two words: '''' lightning spear. '''' Condensed lightning in the form of spear appeared. With the finger of the boy pointing towards the head of his enemy, the spear moved fast in the air and pierced the head before disappearing. Suddenly the young man heard sounds in his head and some windows appeared. [Ding! Lv up. You are lv 2 now. You have gotten 1 status point.] [Ding! Lv up. You are lv 3 now.

It looks like I can only get additional SP on the early levels since later the difference will be huge. And since I can see the monster''s status, I probably can see my own stats too. Status window.

I didn''t know that I can do that but that confirms it, I''m not on earth anymore. '''' Nice had an unreadable expression on his face and that''s because he didn''t know anything about why he is there and how he got there in the first place. Nice didn''t ponder at it long, he tossed all of it to the back of his mind and focused on his current situation. '''' This hurts a lot now that the adrenaline has stopped circulating in my body. Since I''m injured, I better get some rest... Or I can use some magic to heal my wound. If what the status window said is the truth than I just have to imagine something that will help me get healed fast. Mmm, I probably can imagine anything since I used to watch fantasy action films and anime, that besides playing Videogames. '''' The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Nice put his right hand on his body and whispered '''' Imagine: instant recovery. '''' His body glowed faintly and his wound healed instantly. '' Wow, I don''t feel any pain and the wound disappeared like it wasn''t there to begin with. The effect of this magic is great, my HP is full now and it only used 10 MP. Now, what to do with the 5 SP that I have. I can increase my vitality and get my HP more points or use them to make my magic more powerful... There is a lot of choices and I can''t decide between these 6 stats... Wait a second, there is another option, Luck is a powerful thing. People escape death by luck, get rich by luck and lucky people have higher chances of success. The problem is that luck is not reliable, even if I bet all my 5 points on luck, it doesn''t mean that I will always be lucky, maybe I''m lucky this moment but in the next I''m not. Hmm, I made my choice to put all my points in luck since I don''t know anything about the people of this word, so I don''t know if my stats are high or low. '' [Beep! You have put 5 SP in the Luck status. Your luck is now 7.] '' I have to do some experiments to confirm some things about magic and it''s limits. '' Nice had the expression of a mad scientist as he thought of this. ............ '' hm, it looks like I can use every element but the elements that I don''t have affinity with have higher mana consumption and weaker effect compared to the ones I have affinity with, and the more complicated the magic the more it consumes mana.'' *Groar*'' Ah, I''m very hungry and thirsty now. Is this beast edible? Maybe I will try dissecting the bear and cook some of his organs and meat, I mean he still is a bear, probably. But I don''t have a knife to dissect it''s body. Hmmm, is there a magic that can help solve this problem? '' Nice checked the status window again, then went and stood next to the dead body of the bear and as always reached out with his hand and said:'''' Imagine : slash. '''' and the skin of the beast was slashed. '' I knew it. The non-elemental magic is used to do things that doesn''t need any element to do. Well, this makes things easier especially since it only need 5 MP. Then what is that materialisation magic?'' Nice started dissecting the body of the horned bear and prepared it to be cooked. He then used magic to make some fire and used it to cook his meal. '' It looks very delicious. I don''t know if the reason is my hunger but either way I have to eat it. '' Nice ate his fill of meat and stored the rest in the magic box,then used magic to drink water. At that moment an idea shone in Nice''s mind. '' If magic can make clear water and anything that I can imagine. Then what will happen if I imagined a special water like soul water or heavenly water that I saw in an anime?'' after thinking that Nice immediately used magic. '''' Imagine: heavenly water'''' and a water that was so clear and beautiful with some light in it appeared in his hands. Nice drank it slowly in the start then kept on drinking without stopping until the water stopped appearing. '' That was the best thing I tasted in my whole life. It felt like every cell in my body was having a very pleasant experience. Let''s try soul water.'' '''' Imagine: Soul water. '''' Said Nice before he started gulping litres of soul water and putting some in his bottle before putting his backpack in the magic box. '''' this is so great, no matter how much I drink I never feel full, it''s like my soul is drinking not my body. Ugh, what is this pain, AHHHHH. '''' Nice now was grabbing his chest while he looked like someone who was getting operated on his body while still conscious. '''' SHIT! AHHHHH ! '''' His pain only lasted for around 3 seconds but for Nice, it felt like 3 days. After the pain was gone Nice''s face was pale as he muttered to himself. '''' Wh-what the hell was that pain!? It felt like someone was tearing my organs and flesh. It was like every part of my body was screaming in agony. '''' [Ding!

That''s quite the challenge if I fight all of them head on, I will surely die, but I can''t run away with my current speed. Can I use magic to make my self faster? There is only one way to find out. '' thought Nice to himself while grinning. In that moment his marvelous silver eyes shone with intelligence. '''' Imagine : Wind speed(+55% speed) . Imagine: lightning speed(+55% speed), Imagine : speed boost(+55% speed). '''' '' With this, I''m faster than the wolves. '' Thought Nice as he started running in the opposite direction with everything he had. The wolves and the bears immediately gave chase to their prey. While running at a speed that exceed 60 km/h, Nice thought out a strategy to win while keeping an eye on the distance between him, the wolves and the bears. After running for just one minute, Nice stopped and turned to face the 3 wind wolves which were already trying to slash or bite him. But Nice didn''t give them the chance to and immediately shouted while putting some distance between him and the wolves. '''' Imagine: Wind bullet '''' ¡Á6 Nice used wind bullets to control the movement of the wolves that kept dodging and put the 3 of them in the same spot and then said: '''' Imagine: thorny Lightening chains. '''' and some spooky lightening chains appeared binding and paralyzing the wind wolves. Now the wolves that can''t move a muscle were easy target for Nice and since he didn''t want to waste time and mana, he immediately used the non-elemental magic '' slash '' to cut the heads of three wolves which he stored their bodies in the magic box. [Ding! Lv. up. You are now lv. 6. You have gotten 1 SP.] [Ding! Lv. up. You are now lv. 7. You have gotten 1 SP.] Nice immediately used the 2 SP for his magic stat, since he was running low on mana. [Beep! Your magic status is now 5. Your mana capacity increased to 500.] After that message, the 2 horned bears have surrounded Nice that looked tiny between the enormous bears that were 3 metres tall. The two bears attacked at the same time with the skill '' bloody claw '', but Nice used his speed to dodge the attack and got behind one of the bears then used '' Lightening spear'' to pierce the heads of the 2 in one go. The 2 giant bodies dropped lifeless on the ground. [Ding! Lv. up. You are now lv. 8. You have gotten 1SP.] [Ding! Lv. up. You are now lv. 9. You have gotten 1 SP.] [Ding! Lv. up. You are now lv. 10.

Your magic status is now 5. Your soul have been reinforced.] Nice immediately dissected the 5 bodies of the monsters that he killed and stored them in the magic box which only left in it 1.5 m3 out the 7 m2 of free space. Just as Nice was going to return from where he ran from, because he saw from the top of a tree that there is a town in that direction, he noticed a gold coin on the ground so he lowered his body to pick it up. *swoosh* An enormous paw passed just a hair away from Nice''s head. Just the shock from the attack sent Nice flying 7 metres. Nice couldn''t move after he landed, not because he received any physical damage but because of the shock of seeing the huge monster that was standing in front of him. The beast was 5 metres tall with 2 horns on his head and most of his body was covered by an armor like skin and even it''s face had a mask for protection. Nice could only say one thing when he saw this beast: '''' Appraisal. '''' Even when shocked, Nice was still able to think of his survival. [Beep!

No, even if he just touch me I will end up dead. If I wasn''t lucky enough to find that coin, I would be dead right now. Luck huh, it looks like my 7 luck points are doing their job. For now, I surpass this beast in the Magic, the luck and speed, then I can run away but if I do that I won''t get stronger and I will not be able to get that additional SP and maybe while running I will encounter a stronger monster that I can''t even dream of winning against, that only leaves me with the choice of killing this demon and keep getting stronger till one day I can control my own fate. Now that my magic stat is higher, I''m sure that the magic that I will use from now on will have better effect.

''''Nice used a lot of buffs to make his possibility of winning higher even a bit. The spinning arrows attacked the bear but against this demon''s armor, the arrows couldn''t do any significant damage. The beast attacked Nice with its paw again and Nice who''s speed stat was higher than 7 dodged the attack magnificently but he felt like this monstrous bear was just toying with its prey before devouring it. The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. '' It looks like it''s not taking me seriously. I can use that but my magic attacks aren''t doing any real damage even when I hit the parts that doesn''t have armour. It looks like it has quite the resistance to magic. Then I need physical damage but there is no way that my fists will do any damage and I don''t even have a weapon. I have to find a way. '' Thought Nice as he kept dodging the attacks. '' A way to damage him without magic, I need a weapon. Magic and weapon, weapon and magic... Wait a second, there is a magic that I haven''t used till now, the materialisation magic. Can it be..? '' And suddenly Nice''s lips curved into a wicked smile. '''' Imagine: Dagger. '''' And a dagger appeared in Nice''s hand. It was weightless like a paper for Nice but when he attacked the bear with it it was just like a normal dagger until it disappeared after 7 seconds from being summoned. '''' it looks like materialisation magic is a magic that summons objects and the time that the objects exist for is very short, that means that I have to use it efficiently, but it''s weightlessness is a good point to exploit. '' After that little experiment Nice used some wind magic as a distraction while getting closer to the demon, and when he was close enough, Nice dashed as fast as he can towards the legs of the beast and when he was about to pass between them he said while he opened his hands wide in a position to cut something using his two hands. '''' Imagine: Giant Diamond great sword. ¡Á2 '''' and two huge great swords made of violet diamond, that one of them weights around 10 ton, appeared in both of Nice''s hands. Nice felt as if he was holding two knives not giant swords. At the moment the two swords appeared, Nice immediately cut the demon''s legs and got behind him. When Nice saw that there is a big unprotected part at the back of the beast, he used the two swords to pierce through it before they disappeared. The demonic bear was struggling on the ground trying to get up and it''s legs have started regenerating but for it''s bad luck, Nice was standing by it''s head holding a giant diamond sword which he used to cut the monster''s head and just in case Nice started dissecting the body and didn''t stop until he dissected it perfectly.

He was breathing heavily while laying on the grass and muttered:'''' Shit! That was harder than I thought but it was so freaking cool. Hahaha... Damn I only have 70 HP and 65MP. If a monster show up now, I will be done for. Imagine: wind detection.+appraisal. It looks like the deeper you get into the forest the stronger the monsters.

After running for 2 minutes the buff effects wore out and with them Nice''s stamina. '''' imagine: Wind detection.+ appraisal. Good, it looks like all the monsters around here are low leveled, the average level around here is lv. 6. I better get some rest and eat to refill my stamina.
