I have about a month to enter the academy. What to do should have asked for more references. The good thing is that the map helps me navigate north, south, east and west. If I do not know I'm going around.
On the way I have collected several plants, some rare. I hope they are worth it, the book that did not have written prices. And do not ask the old man either. God what a disaster.
Now that I remember it, I have not seen the backpack and the bag with the system.
---------------------------
Leather bag (small) (10 kg) (white)
Durability: 25/25
Effect: 20% weight reduction. Ignore weight of coins (5 kilograms).
Travel backpack (60 kg) (white)
Durability: 30/30
Effect: 25% weight reduction.
Hunter's belt (5 slots) (white)
Durability: 15/15
---------------------------
Well it seems that this is very good, it is much better than my clothes. While I was walking, it's dark. Then it was time for our first campfire.
God this is difficult. As fuck, this is used. After collecting wood for 15 minutes, I will take 40 more trying to catch this crap. When I was about to give up, it finally caught on, it was a divine miracle. Surely my element will be fire, I can almost feel it.
Eating a piece of bread, the old man only placed food for a day. Tomorrow we will have to look for something. And so in my sleeping bag, I fell exhausted.
When dawn broke, everything seemed very calm. In this part of the forest there should not be many animals. I never forget to check the area for plants, 5 gold coins are going to be very difficult. I do not even know how many silver coins are 1 gold.
Listening to a ring, I crouched down and held my breath. I'm traumatized by wolves.
Pulling out my sword, now that I remember not having checked it with the system.
----------------------
Hunting Sword (white)
Attack: 10-15 Durability: 20/20
Hunting knife (white)
Attack: 3-4 Durability: 15/15
---------------------
Well this is better, thinking that the stick saved my life. Now I feel more secure.
Peeking out to see what it was, I saw a cute bunny. But this one has a horn in his forehead. What kind of rabbit is this. I have to ask the next people to see.
Approaching with the sword in my hand and the knife in the other, I try to get the meal of the day. But the rabbit listens to me and looks at me. Now that I see it, this rabbit is the size of a dog. Maybe 50 centimeters high.
Looking at our eyes like a couple of lovers, step in time. What told you, I'm scared. The rabbit attacks first, and aims its horn at my chest. If he gives me I'm dead surely.
Try to dodge, but the rabbit is very fast, or maybe I am very slow. And a part of his body hits my shoulder. Damn, how it hurts.
Move a little and stop. Then he looks at me again. I have not seen my state for days, I should have checked before fighting. I think I'll try to see the rabbit with the system.
[Unknown level??]
The rabbit jumps, but this time I'm ready. I crash and hit him with the sword in the belly. The body falls to my side and the blood begins to sprout. The rabbit struggles to get up and not to see him suffer, with the knife I cut his neck.
[You killed the Horn Rabbit. You have acquired two objects.]
[You have purchased Rabbit meat and Rabbit horn]
[You have purchased 3 Soul Point.]
[Strength, stamina and agility increase by 1 point]
Go things are better, I'll have meat for lunch. And the horn I suppose I can sell it. But the most important are my attributes, I'm glad they have increased.
Observing the body, it seems to be wrapped in gray. That means that the loot has already been collected, I suppose. We must move forward. And collect plants to eat.
It was already noon, and I had not encountered more animals. Seriously here it does not seem to see any. The good thing is that I have rabbit meat and lots of vegetables. I hope to find one I can soon, my backpack is almost full.
Now I think I should check my attributes while cooking the meat at the campfire.

Go, because my attributes have increased so much. It will be that after reading that book for 3 days, my intelligence increased. But and the other attributes. Every time I have more doubts.
After eating, I rested for a moment and then continued on. While picking plants along the way, I realized that this ability to look for herbs is OP. I feel that each time the search radius is larger.
Arrival the night I was about to build the camp when I heard noise around. Crouching, I slowly approach. And I look at a group of people talking. Trying to understand what they say, apparently there is a village nearby.
I decide to follow them very far and 10 minutes later I arrive at the new village. Walking slowly, reach the door. Nobody turns to see me; it seems that my clothes do not attract attention.
Arriving at the door, a guard approaches and asks.
Guard: "Who are you? What are you looking for in Rock Village. "
This place has a simple name just like the previous one.
"I'm passing through and I'm looking for a place to rest."
Guard: "Well, touch the crystal ball. Show your identity. "
* Updating map *
[You have discovered the Rock Village]
[Reputation in the Rock Village: Neutral (0)]
Guard: "No problem, walk down this road and you will arrive at the inn. It's the only one in the village, you can not miss it. And do not cause problems. It seems you have many things, talk to the pool and sell what you do not need. "
After showing me the way, I return to his post. The security here is well maintained.
This town is almost the same as the previous one. Arriving quickly at the posed, I enter and there are not many people. Approaching the counter, a man approached me.
Sir: "Boy, what do you need? I own the Pool Inn. "
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Pool, I need a room for tonight. What a price it has. "
Pool: "Well they are 5 copper coins, plus 2 of the food."
"I could very well explain how it is to change currencies, the truth is that I have not been here for a long time."
Pool: "You must be one of the exiles. I'm sorry about what happened in your home, here things will be difficult for you. Well the change is easy the coins are stacked to 100 (100 copper, 100 silver, 100 gold), after copper silver and gold. There are magic coins, but I have never seen any. They are white gold, magic crystal and obsidian. "
That things are piled up to 100 is easier to learn. But now I know that I need 500 gold coins, for enrollment in the academy.
"Thank you very much for the explanation, but I would like to sell these different plants. You could give me a price for them. "
Pool: "Plants? You must be a true herbalist. Okay, get everything you want to sell. The next morning a herbal merchant will pass, in the end he will buy everything for me. I will try to give you a fair price for what you have. "
Well I'm lucky, this guy seems honest. Well first the common ones, the Green Grass, the Yellow Flower, the Earth Root, the Whistling Grass, and the others.
Pool: "Go you have a lot. Fine, but you have to group for green, I'll show you look at me. These are 10, and these others are 5. Well here you have 25 silver and 34 copper coins. You had many plants, but they are all common. "
Wow that was almost my whole backpack, but also 2 days of work. Only with common will not reach the fee of the academy. Well the secret weapon.
"Mr. Pool, these are the last."
Taking out the rest. Pool is shocked by what I take out. Then he carefully picks them up and watches them, and separates them by type. Sweating looks at me and cannot believe it.
Pool: "Well this is a lot, these are sold expensive. And you have almost 100 different plants. Let me calculate everything. They will be 143 silver and 20 copper coins. "
Pool: "Sorry boy. But I do not have so much capital, I'll buy you everything for 150 coins, "
That's fine, the plants will spoil if I take them with me to another can. And I think the price he gave was very honest. The first rule in negotiating is that everyone wins.
"Well Pool. It's a deal. By the way, my name is Mark Walker. You can call me as you wish. Rather I have some questions, you could help me with that. "
Pool: "Mark ask what you want, I will answer with what I know."
"You know how to get to the magic academy."
Pool: "That's easy, Mark you have to go to the Northwest. You will pass through a village called Meet Village, and after 4 days walking you will arrive at the city of the Magic Academy. It will take you a week from here to go on foot "
"You know why when I see the creatures there is no data in the system."
Pool: "That's complicated to explain. In order for details to appear, you have to learn about the creature. The Progress System, goes step by step. You have to progress and learn so that the system helps you. Have here I had a book with the most common creatures in this place, read it and then give it back to me. "
After talking a while longer, I ate, he gave me the key and I went up to my room. There is only one bed, with a table and a chair. It's simple but after sleeping in the open, this is heaven.

A record of the creatures that every adventurer of the Tristan Kingdom should know.

Go is blue. That was unusual, I think. It must be something special from the pool. Well, you have to read and learn. I'll check my attributes, and see if they go up after reading.

He went up my strength and stamina. It must be by walking and picking herbs all day.
Well, let's continue. There are rabbits, wolves, hawks, bears, there are many creatures. There are also undead and monsters, such as trolls, orcs and goblins.
After finishing reading the warning came.
[You have learned bestiary from Tristan Kingdom (blue)]
Go if you learn it, this should be my approach talent. This will make the difference, surely yes. Now reviewing my attributes, my wisdom went up in 1 and intelligence in 2.
Studying should always be productive, no matter what world you are in. If you do not learn and improve you will always be a donkey. You understood Mark. God, I am talking to myself. After raving for a few moments counting my coins, I went to sleep.
