Chapter 6: New World (4)

Chapter 6: New World (4)

~Jack POV~

I was simply in awe during the trip to Patch during the daytime viewing it all.

Although Patch is new territory for me, I have been reading up on it as I have been searching everything with the view.

Patch is a small island to the west of Vale.

It is also the location of Signal Academy and where Yang Xiao Long and Ruby Rose were raised.

These forests are known to contain Beowolves and Ursai as well as some native nature-type Grimm in the general area.

However, there hasn't been much of a problem there since the Huntsman living in the area are more than able to handle them.

Also, thanks to the Combat School at Signal for keeping the peace in the area.

At least according to the locals that live in the area.

The island is safe enough for a family to live in their house and for people to build a combat school but is also large enough to have areas infested with Grimm like its forest.

Patch is relatively secluded and includes heavily forested areas that Yang ventured into, bringing Ruby along with her when they were very young in an effort to learn more about her missing mother, Raven Branwen.

Many Grimm has appeared in the forests of Patch.

Notable examples are a large amount of smaller Beowolves and a Giant Ursa.

The Cliffside Forest is a forest located on the island of Patch it features a sheer cliff, a dense forest, and a large clearing.

Finally going around the forest area I began to follow a path as I used my and skills to hide or avoid the Grimms in the area.

I need a place to train for a bit.

Looking at the wildlife though a smirk was shown on me as I look at a nearby reflective puddle as I couldn't help but speak out my mind, "Got to admit it has a homey feeling vibe here must be safe enough to keep this atmosphere. Man, maybe I should live here when I have the chance. Probably getting enough Lien to be able to pay for a home here."

Liking the area I began to move ahead.

Got to admit though this place certainly feels different than I'm usually to back on Earth.

And certainly, more diverse in some respects for example everything feels so unreal but at the same time all too real for me.

I may have never left my home but I do recall some photos looking like this though.

That and I have been using my to level up my skills as much as I can along with skill to avoid confrontation if I can help it.

Once I got to a good clearing and avoided no Grimm in sight it was time for me to create some skills for me to use.

But first, since I unlocked my Aura I better see how many points I have exactly in that department.

Status.

Hmm…

Looks to me like all my stats are even out here so no need for concern just yet at least… huh?

Blinking a bit I saw that my AP is in the range of 500 points to spare.

Man…

Is this what the gamer ability said to me earlier that I would gain a bigger boost?

Gez… thanks for the boost then.

But first…

Looking around with a smile on my face I began to smirk at this as I spoke out loud to myself, "Now then… time to finish off that quest."

Like that it was time to grind.

/////

"Whew…"

"My everything is sore…"

"Effort is pain…"

Ow…

I hate myself right now because I was never much for physical exercise but damn it I now regret the choice of not exercising.

Curse my otaku way of life!

However…

[Quest Completed]

[Please choose the following rewards:

-Reward #1: Status Recovery

-Reward #2: Stat Points +3

-Reward #3: Random Item Box]

Hmm…?

Thinking for a bit on this I decided to return back to Patch Village since I need the stat points the most.

Especially since I have no means to fight till at least I have a way to fight instead of relying on raw power.

Nodding my head settle with that I began to retrace my steps back to Patch Village using my and skills to avoid being detected.

*Swoosh*

Running around or just jogging a bit and moving around avoiding some branches or nearby Grimm in the area.

/////

It took some time I manage but I finally managed to return to Patch Village with some sweat forming around me and getting some stench on me as I smelled off.

Great now I have to worry about getting clean clothes as well.

Renting a room for the night I began to sigh out a breath of relief as I began to rest my body.

I'll do this for a while and I need to gain some Stats for the time being.

And use this time to increase my knowledge of this world.

Seeing the rewards on the screen I began to collect and press to get the second reward instead.

[Ding!]

[You have received +3 bonus stats!]

Good.

Now I'll raise place my points into strength.

Remembering from the Help options it said that STR is one that determines physical strength but also increases the physical amount of damage the player can give to the target.

But wouldn't it also means if I increase my strength will my body or more specifically my muscles will gain a boost?

Well…

Time to figure that out.

Placing my points into strength I began

Feeling content with this I'll use this chance to gain some Stats to increase my STR for the time being till I'm satisfied with the strength needed to fight Grimm or at least defend myself at the very least.

"Whew…"

Landing on my bed I went on ahead to relax my body to naturally increase my stamina needed for the future.

Like that I took the time to sleep before I think what kind of hell did, I stumbled into.

Ah well…

As long as I train and be cautious, I guess it would be fine.

Right, there was something else as well…

I remember that Solo Leveling that if you go out the extra mile of training the daily quest you get the choice to get a blessed or cursed box…

But that's on the assumption it works the same as mine.

….

I'll try it only when I get enough skills to see.
