Chapter 30 - Title?
When I woke up, I can see Rory already preparing my breakfast so I stood up and walked towards him to eat my breakfast.
"Good morning, master Ave."
Rory said seriously while cooking the food he bought from his hunts. He was cooking two snakes.
"Good morning to you too..." I replied to Rory with a sleepy voice. It did not take long for Rory to finish cooking the snake.
"Here's your breakfast master Ave." Rory said while passing me the snakes that was pierced by sticks.
I took it from him and ate it immediately.
"Thanks Rory." I said to Rory while taking a mouthful of bites on the snake.
I finished eating for about five minutes which helped me woke up completely. I felt refreshed and energized. I then immediately summoned Nixie.
Light came out from my forehead and soon the light subsided. Nixie was then in front of me.
"Good morning Ave and Rory." Nixie said while floating around us. I and Rory replied back by giving the same greeting.
I then made ice chairs so that we can have a meeting for our attack on the ogre's cave.
"We need information before attacking the ogre's cave. Do you both have any information regarding the ogres?" I asked Rory and Nixie since they lived in the Antear woods longer than I am.
"I don't know much information about them but all I know is that they are the strongest race in this forest, master Ave." Said Rory while I just nodded.
"I only know that an Ogre King is among them." Nixie said which made me frown.
I don't know how strong that Ogre King is but hearing the name of it makes it sound imposing.
"Do you know how strong the Ogre King is?" I asked at Nixie while looking at her.
"I don't know... Sorry Ave..." Nixie said with a red face and shy expression.
"It's okay Nixie." I said to Nixie.
"I guess we should go to the ogre's cave now." I said to Nixie and Rory while they both nodded at me.
Nixie then moved first guiding us towards the ogre's cave. It only took an hour of travel for us to completely see the cave.
The entrance of the cave was heavily guarded by three ogre's. The ogres was 10 feet tall and has brown skin. I can also see that all of them has a huge tummy. They have muscular arms and have huge heads. They also hold a blunt weapon that looks like it was made from tree branches. Overall, the ogres looks ugly.
I then appraised one of them to see how powerful they were and the result was:

HP: 1300 / 1300
MP: 200 / 200
STR: 130

Ding!
Your Appraisal skill leveled up!
I was happy to see that my Appraisal skill leveled up. It took so long before my Appraisal skill leveled up. I was kinda sad to see that it did not evolved into something else. I then appraised the ogre again to see the changes.
Name: ------------
Class: ------------
Race: Ogre

HP: 1300 / 1300

Skills:
• HP Regeneration
• Heavy Smash
• Heavy Punch
• Stomp
I can now see the skills of others but I can't see the level of there skills. I was so jealous of his skill 'HP Regeneration' that I wish also have that skill.
Ding!
You gain the title Envy!
What is this Envy!?
I appraised it immediately to see what it does, and I was happy and surprise from it's description.
Envy (Level 1):
You gain this title for being consumed by jealousy for a number of times. It bestowed you with an ability to copy skills from others. The skill that you copy from others will be Level 1 when you gain it.
Can only use this ability once a month.
My mouth watered when I saw this making me use it instantly on the ogre and copying the skill 'HP Regeneration'. I can feel one of my eyes heating up and it let out a beam of light which went inside the ogre and then the light came out of ogre and went inside my body.
Ding!
You learned the skill HP Regeneration.
'Stupid Cat! You should have saved that skill to copy someone's else skill! The skill that you copied might be helpful but there should have been a better skill.'
I realized my mistake but I was consumed by my own excitement that I used the skill immediately without thinking it through but I can't do anything about it.
So I ignored Akira and checked my new skill HP Regeneration.
HP Regeneration (Level 1):
Restore 1% of HP for every 1 minute.
I was so happy seeing this because now I don't need to worry about my HP not regenerating.
I then appraise the ogre again and I can see that it still has its skill 'HP Regeneration'. I then noticed something new from the information that the Appraisal gave. What is this Class?
'Akira, what is this Class thing?' I asked Akira since I don't have any clue from it.
'The Class is like the game classes that you play in your world like mage, warrior, hunter, archer, ranger, assassin, and more. It's more like a job and this Class actually gives you skills that you will learn for every level.'
I smiled hearing that having a job can boost ones strength.
'How do I get one, Akira?'
'You can only gain one in human settlements and rarely from other race settlements. Inside every human settlement resides a small statue of crystal at the center. It is a crystal that gives classes. The classes that you will be given is based on ones potential. You can gain one or two class and sometimes even more. This crystals was also the reason how humans can have a chance in facing monsters.' Akira explained.
I frowned when Akira finished explaining. This made the situation hard but I remembered that Orcred was attacking the closest human settlement here so that means I can go in there and used the crystal without any human knowing. I should go there next when I finish killing Orcred.
'Thanks Akira, and talk to you later.' I said to Akira and ended our conversation. I used my Parallel Thinking and Thought Acceleration when I was talking with Akira. So only a few seconds passed when I was talking with Akira.
I called my other mind Isa which was also me. Isa was the one who was talking with Akira. While Isa was having a conversation with Akira, I talked with Nixie and Rory about my strategy in attacking the ogres at the entrance.
"Since there are three, we shall take one for each of us. I'll be taking the one in the right." I said to the two while they replied:
"I'll take the one in the left." Said Nixie.
"Mine will be the one in the middle, master Ave." Said Rory
I then signaled to them to attack which they immediately executed. I then summoned my two shadows to help me in my attack.
I rushed towards my target while readying my ice magics. I used Isa to focused on my movements and defense while I focused on attacks and controlling my shadow clones. The ogres noticed us and immediately run towards us. It then smashed it's blunt weapon in my direction which I and my shadow clones avoided as if it was easy. I then controlled my shadow clones to attack using their poisons to give more damage. I then fused poison with my Gauntlets and used it to slash towards the ogres face. It became furious and attacked me and my clones franticly but it was useless because it was slow. It then died after a few more seconds.
Ding!
You gain 500 EXP.

I then looked at Nixie and Rory and I can see that they have already killed their own targets. I then used Consume on the three ogre corpses which gave me more EXP.

The ogres gives so much EXP making me level up 4 times. We then continued going inside the cave.
