Training manual and information center.
3rd Person POV
In a training arena, an individual was sweaty and completely exhausted while a small cat and a shrimp-like creature were comforting him. From a distance, a tall, muscular man observed and was quite impressed. 'Hmm... he did better than I imagined....' After thinking a bit more, he approached the recruit.
MC POV
Three days had passed, and it was indeed a tough training session. I had trained in real life, but this was really exhausting... but somehow, I managed to finish it.... "Hey kid, good job. Here is your manual. I improved it a bit compared to what I'd normally give because I really liked your performance." He said and pulled out a book from his inventory, pointing it to me. I touched the book while still lying down and exhausted, with Ron enjoying the fluffiness of his fur in my arms. [Do you wish to merge your current manual with the previous combat manual?] "Yes." [Mitigoth Sword Art Manual (Improved) {Rare}] I decided to look at its description while still lying down and drinking a glass of juice that the Elder gave me.
—---------------
Mitigoth Sword Art Manual (Improved)
Rank: Rare.
Chapters:
- **Impact:** High strength infused at the sword's tip, applying high piercing damage, with a 50% increase in damage and a 30% momentary speed boost. Cooldown: 5 minutes.
- **Circle of Cuts:** The sword increases speed and makes multiple cuts around the individual in a 5-meter circular form for 45 seconds, with a 15% damage increase and a 20% cutting speed boost. Cooldown: 3 minutes.
- **Dimension Slash:** You slash in the air, and a cut will traverse space instantly, hitting the selected enemy within your field of view with high penetration. (Mana may be required depending on the distance). Cooldown: 1 minute.
- **Spatial Step:** You can teleport up to 15 meters from your position to any desired location via foot movement or vision. Greater distances will consume mana. Cooldown: 15 seconds.
**Note:** All attacks carry the individual's mana and, consequently, spatial magic, allowing for a slight increase in penetration effect.
**Description:** A manual merged with a previous version, combined with a slightly better manual from the ancient Mitigoth race, making it more powerful.
—----------------------------
Oh... the two skills had their effects improved, and the spatial mana penetration effect will be useful. And it added two new skills that seem to have great potential.... "Ah, good Elder, I'm heading out now." "One moment." He said and took out another item from his inventory. This time it was a sword with a golden hilt and a sharp, slightly silvery-blue blade. "Take it as a gift, I'll even give it to you for free." "Ah... but are you sure? I already received the manual...." "Tsk, relax kid, I gave it as a gift, just accept it. I'm an Elder and have accumulated a lot of money and treasures in my life." Henry, who helped train me, smiled and supported him. "Accept it, Alex. It's a gift from the master." "Okay...." I felt a bit embarrassed but accepted it.... I don't have family in the real world due to being an orphan, and although I got close to some people... it's not the same here. They treat me somewhat like family, which makes me feel good but strange, leading me to feel embarrassed.... Shaking off my thoughts, I looked at the sword.
—--------------------------------
Mitigoth Defensive Force Sword
**Rank:** Unique
**Type:** Weapon/Sword
**Effect:**
- Increased physical and magical penetration due to being reinforced with special runes.
- Greater ease in transmitting energy and mana into it.
**Description:** A sword that can be bought or given in the Mitigoth defense barracks, improved with special runes. Even being of unique rank, its performance does not lose much and even surpasses some rare ranks.
—--------------------------------
"Thank you for the training, Elder Henry." I smiled happily at them and left the place, heading towards a specific part of the barracks where information collection is done.

I arrived at a large hall filled with various large orbs made from a kind of magical stone and minerals, surrounded by magical circles and runes. Each orb connected different locations, one for the north continent, central, east, west, south, and other specific dimensions. These connections linked directly to surveillance golems of various forms enchanted and disguised with magic and runes, making them invisible and easily detectable while having great perception and recording capabilities.
Their main function is to detect dimensional anomalies, especially in normal worlds or the nearest dimensions that can threaten the spatial fabric and reality, or potential invaders and threats.
Like the one that flew over my head now. A small octahedron-shaped object with various runes passed over my head, and I touched it lightly.
At that moment, a member of the race occupying the surveillance position came and spoke. "Are you the recruit Alex?" "Yes." "Are you looking for a place to go?" "Uh-huh, I want to go to a place on the central continent." "Well, it's that orb." He pointed me to an orb that had four more orbs beside it, probably representing the other continents. I nodded and went to it. Teleporting to other locations and dimensions is feasible as long as you can visualize and know the specific coordinates, but using the Orbs makes the process faster and easier.
And what I was looking for was a place I read about in forums and books. With the change in race and class, my combat capabilities, escape means, and more were greatly improved. Now what I lack is acquiring a Soulbound with better damage and more direct and fast combat capabilities... and the target I chose is a tamer with a fire element... although I still don't know which one specifically, I plan to go to an environment that has similar ones....

"Here it is." I opened my eyes and smiled when I found the place.
