Unnamed Waterfall in the core zone of Mira Forest.
In a hidden cave.
A young man with long black hair could be seen lying in a pit on the ground. Previously this was a pond but now it has dried up.
Suddenly this young man opened his eyes, the moment he woke up, Alex felt a painful headache assaulting him, he wanted to scream but no voice came out, the headache was so painful that he wasn't even able to hear or focus on the notification windows that started popping up the second he woke up.
Fortunately, after about half an hour later the headache finally came to an end, but just after it ended and Alex was collecting his thoughts he smelled an extremely bad smell from his surrounding.
Alex wasn't able to take it and stopped his breathing, he then ran out of the tunnel, the second he came out, the cold water falling over the cave entrance cleaned his body.
Although his body was now clean but thanks to his enhanced senses (because of his evolution) he could still smell that bad smell coming from inside the cave, so after changing his clothes he left the cave and went outside.
The second the sunlight fell on him, Alex subconsciously used his hand to block the sun rays falling on his eyes, he felt like a prisoner who was had now come in contact with light after being locked up in a dark room for a long time.
He found that the sunlight was extremely annoying today. He who usually likes to bathe in sunlight.
After his pupils adjusted themselves to the sunlight, Alex was finally able to observe the changes in his body.
He looked slightly taller than before.
Previously, his height was around 1.75m same height as Kevin Asmar, but now it increased to 1.80m, the same height as Leonardo Dixor.
His black hair became longer as well reaching his back, even without checking he knew his abs were well defined. He was brimming with energy after suffering that hellish pain, thinking about it sends a shiver down his spine.
Alex shook his head before asking, ''Sil, how long I have been out for?''
ă3 days.ă
''I see. Sigh! Alexandra must be worried sick.'' Alex said thinking about his sister who must be worried after not seeing him for three days.
ăDon't worry. I have kept contact with her, she suspects nothing, to her you have been training on your own.ăSilveria explained.
''I see. Thank you, Silveria. You saved me from a lot of troubles.''
ăYou welcome. Still, you must contact her, just to make her less worried.ăSilveria suggested.
''You are right,'' Alex responded before contacting his sister using their special ability.
[Hello Alexandra. How are you doing?]
There was a silence before Gracier responded,
[Ah, Ah!, Hello Big brother I'm fine. I hope you are fine over there as well. Leena asked about you. I said you went training. She said to say hello when I'll saw you and also to inform you that the test will be taking place soon.]
[I see. I'm doing fine over here. Greet Leena for me as well. By the way, what are you currently doing?]
There was another silence before she replied.
[I'm training] She seemed a little bit out of breath.
[Alone?] Alex asked. It must have been Silveria that told her to do so. She said training but he was sure she was doing it outside, not in the Guild training ground. She must be killing monsters to train. The problem was, with whom?
[I'm training with a sister you know. Sorry, Big brother I'll contact you again I'm a little busy. Hope you will be coming home today.] She said before cutting off the communication.
Alex's lips twitched, she had done this because she doesn't want to tell him with whom she was training.
'Well, I hope she isn't being taken advantage of.'
ăFufufu! Do you think she is dumb? She too clever. I bet she's the one taking advantage of the other girl. As with who she's currently training, I have my little idea. Sorry, I will not tell you anything even if you plead me.ăSilveria said.
Alex shook his head not offering any reply. The girl in question must be that plain-looking girl Eleonora. As for how it started between them, he will know once he went back. Alex chuckled before starting to advance until he saw a big tree, he sat down near it and then leaned against it.
ăCheck your status. I assure you that you will be greatly surprised.ăSilveria said, prompting Alex to quickly check his status.
'Status' Alex mumbled and what followed was,
''Eh?'' A voice filled with surprise and more importantly overwhelming happiness. The surprise was too much, he wasn't expecting such a gain, he almost couldn't believe it until he double-checked. If he had won the jackpot he wouldn't be this happy. His status went through an overwhelming change.

''My previous level got restored (Level 20). And I even got a leap of fifteen levels? Seriously I was not expecting something like this. Well, considering the hellish pain I went through for three days, I guess it's well-deserved rewards. I understand that it's because of the Wyvern's heart but can you explain to me how I get a boost of fifteen levels?'' Alex asked for more in-depth explanation.
Previously he was only expecting a boost on his MP level but not only he got that, he even get an increase in level as well. Not that he was dissatisfied with this surprise. It's a pleasant surprise nevertheless he needs to know how it happened and who was more qualified for this? Silveria.
Alex needs explanations, not only for what happened but also concerning several other things about his skills. Especially that Special Ability that appeared.
There was a temporary silence before finally, Silveria spoke.
ăI'd like to, however, you should eat first. It has been three days already since you have eat something. Do not be fooled by the feeling of you brimming with energy, it's temporary, it's the adrenaline making you feel that way better eat before you'll start feeling an overwhelming hunger attacking you.ă
Now that she said this, Alex finally noticed the feeling of hunger he was feeling since a while ago.
''Okay, I'll eat. We will talk after I'm done.''
Alex said before taking out two sandwiches made by Lea. They were still fresh because he had placed them inside his item box. Smelling the scent of the sandwiches, Alex's stomach growled with impatience. Alex looked at the two sandwichs for while before deciding that they would not be enough. He then brought out another two, increasing their numbers to four.
Back then when he was leaving the Moonlight Inn Alex had ordered 6 sandwiches, as for why it's because he was too fond of them. He ate two before the arrival of the Alpha, the remaining four will be eaten today. To make his lunch perfect, Alex also brings out a bottle of iced orange juice.
'Time to dig in.' Alex mumbled before starting to eat.
