10 years late

In all these years he had ventured deep into the forest in search of experience to level up faster. Unlike the other common cultivators who, on reaching the silver level, would settle down and no longer kill monsters from experience, Nicola ventured deeper and deeper into the forests and swamp.

In addition to cultivating and hunting, Nicola still used pills to level up faster. With that, in 10 years he almost managed to reach his master Ogume.

Tiane fell far behind him in relation to the levels, in all these years she only managed to reach level 25, but in comparison with Nicola her forge was not far behind, the previous generations of her family had an inheritance with solid bases for a reason, she mastered equipment of the highest level.

Almost competing with the master's, even being 10 levels below, unlike Nicola who specialized in more than one profession and had to divide the time between them, Tiane focused only on improving her blacksmithing skills.

Nicola's forge was not far behind, but without the techniques inherited by her, hisfate in blacksmithing was not as bright as hers.

Nicola reached level 30 a month ago and stopped to complete his unfinished projects. All these years in a wild race to become stronger have paid off.

Seven tails dangled at his back and the crown of horns was larger on his head, reaching the size of two inches.

'Status'. Nicola thought.
