"The novel has just been contracted! Thank you very much to everyone who has read up to this point, I hope you continue to support me.

I was leaning against a tree, resting. The battle with those two was tough, but it went well; they put up a good fight. Although I had some difficulties, I managed to resolve them. In my hands were four silver-colored orbs. I must say they are a bit larger than bronze orbs, shining like stars but with a silver color, resembling lead with specks of light inside. They emit a glow from another world, although taking them out of their location is a bit repulsive, there's nothing to be done about it.
"They are very beautiful, like stars in the sky," commented Elsa, squatting next to me, curiously examining the orbs.
"Indeed, they are. Keep in mind that we also have these orbs inside us, but of course, ours are not contaminated," I said with a smile.
"You had to ruin the moment with your strange comments!" she responded, clicking her tongue.
Shrugging, I said, "I'm just stating the truth." To be honest, it's unsettling. The only difference is that we are not contaminated; otherwise, we would be like these creatures.
Corruption was a topic of debate, no one knows where it came from or how it was created and why it spread throughout this forest, some say the answers lie deep in zone 8, but no one has been able to get that far. , zone 8 is a total mystery even to me.
The only mention of the depths of Zone 8 comes from the 7 original sins and the 3 characters in the sacred rank. It's a mystery even for the mythical ones. It's unknown why they hide it or if they do it to protect us. The other thing with almost no records is where the lineages came from.
There are no answers, and I'm starting to get a headache. Shaking my head with useless thoughts, I give two orbs to Elsa.
"Absorb them." Taking the two orbs timidly, Elsa grasps them tightly. I witness again as silver threads come out of the orbs and enter her directly. It's magical, shining as if small particles of light descended from the sky to illuminate this world full of darkness.
After absorbing the two orbs, she hands me the remains – a black substance without light or anything, just darkness. I store them in my ring along with my two orbs and stand up, drawing my sword.
Elsa Fostine [13,350/15,000]
Good, good, grow big and strong. Hehehehe, we're doing well. Shaking my head with strange thoughts, I continue on my way.
"Where are you going?" Elsa asks, confused.
"To extract the claws from those bastards. Their claws can be good material to sell; the dwarf blacksmiths would surely love them. And cut some meat to check if it's edible," I calmly reply without turning around. Booty from war is always good to collect; it's satisfying.
"I'll help too!" Elsa replies, running in my direction.
"If you say so," I respond.
Approaching the nearest corpse, it's really large. I somewhat envy their height. Gripping my sword with a vertical strike, I aim for its gray claws.
Bang!
The first attempt fails; they are very tough. This is perfect; they can be sold well in the market.
"Hehehehe," money always comes in handy, and the more, the better. One should never underestimate money!
Applying aura to my sword, I exert a bit more force.
Bang!
The second attempt manages to cut them a bit. I guess I need more strength.
Bang!
Behind us, all that could be seen was an endless and deep mist. It's as if nothing happened, and everything continues as usual, swallowing everything around it completely."
14:30
The third attempt is a success; I cut them one by one from the other three. Gathering them in one place, I transfer them to my ring.
Slash!
Looking back, I see Elsa cutting with a completely serious expression on her face. After a few seconds, she takes a large piece of meat, looks at it directly, and turns it around, examining it thoroughly. It's clear she's looking for a peculiar substance. It's a bit simple to check if it's edible or not. First, you have to carefully examine the meat at the moment after cutting it and separating it from the body. Two scenarios can happen: the meat, when separated, begins to rot slowly, or nothing happens, and the meat remains the same.
In Zone 1, no monster is edible; in Zone 2, there are some, and I wanted to see if this beast was one of them.
Elsa continues observing every part of the meat. I'm surprised she's not a bit disgusted; I guess she's growing.
They grow so fast, my god. Drying my imaginary tears, I hear a sigh of disappointment.
"It's not edible," Elsa says sadly, looking at the meat. I nod, the meat started to rot, and a yellow substance oozed out, emitting a foul smell.
"Don't worry; we have enough supplies for both of us." The truth is, for my first hunt, I brought a lot to avoid any unforeseen circumstances and stored all kinds of food in my ring.
"Well, it's time to continue our journey. We've already lost a lot of time."
With a small nod from Elsa, we begin our journey.
Behind us, all that could be seen was an endless and deep mist. It's as if nothing happened, and everything continues as usual, swallowing everything around it completely."
As we walked, I looked at Elsa, "Do you feel that the essence of your soul has reached its limit?" I asked Elsa with curiosity, obviously knowing the answer.
Elsa, looking in my direction, slightly opens her mouth, "Yes, I feel like I can advance right now! Even if it's half-bronze, I don't care! I've been waiting for this moment for years, and it's finally happening."
I watch as Elsa takes small hops, she is very excited and happy.
Smiling, I pat her head and say, "Well done, keep it up! You can do it!"
Elsa, looking at me with eyes threatening to shed tears, lowers her head and with a small nod says, "Thank you."
If you like my novel, bathe it with stones of power!!!
