Archer's Adventure Manual

The first half of the night passed uneventfully. Loran successfully met his successor and Brian left work without incident.

After spending the night at a village inn, the eventful day finally came to an end.

This was his first voluntary adventure. He originally thought it would lead to poetry and distant places, but he never expected it would almost kill him.

Overall, it wasn't without its gains.

Welcome to the Adventure Points Skill Shop. Current Adventure Points: 142.

Shadow of Death Lv.1 (Unlocked with 100 Adventure Points)

"Survival Guide: Congratulations on spending 100 Adventure Points to unlock the talent - Shadow of Death!"

Shadow of Death Lv.1 (Proficiency 0/100): When you kill or witness the death of a creature, your mental strength will be subtly enhanced. (I see the shadow of Death...)

"Survival Guide: Congratulations on spending 20 Adventure Points to unlock the talent - Vulture!"

Lying in bed, Loran simply unlocked all the skills that needed to be unlocked.

What is he risking his life to hunt for? He just wants those adventure points!

Now it's all good, I've finally unlocked most of the skills.

With the original owner Loran's archery skills, he believed that his ability to struggle in dangerous situations during his next adventure would definitely be much stronger than it is now, or at least he wouldn't be so powerless.

The greatest gain was undoubtedly the Shadow of Death, which was related to the "miracle" cast by the headless monster.

Gods exist in this world, and many people can gain power by praying to them, and the spells they cast become "divine arts".

Loran's talent is clearly related to death; he can enhance his mental strength by witnessing the death of living beings.

To be fair, this talent is quite reasonable. When you see a lot of people die, you become numb and more resistant to stimulation, so your mental strength becomes stronger.

Anyway, it's a pretty good growth-type talent with a high potential. After all, whether it's casting skills or spells, it requires mental energy to guide it, and enough mental energy will allow him to unleash more skills.

Speaking of magic, Loran now clearly understands its importance. No matter how sharp an arrow is, without special penetrating or armor-breaking skills, it is difficult to penetrate tough rock.

What is the strictest father to all these things? Magic, of course.

Although Loran didn't see Elfin casting a spell and shooting an arrow, he overheard the whispers around him while eating, so he already knew pretty much everything.

Some kind of magic was used, like a demon descending from heaven... Anyway, a spell broke through the two wild boars' defenses, and everyone grabbed their swords, spears, clubs, and other weapons and killed the wild boars.

It is clear how important magic is.

But magic is so precious. To become a mage, one needs not only strong talent but also sufficient resources.

For example, reading magic books and understanding the principles of magic—this theoretical knowledge determines the scarcity of this profession.

The original owner of Loran's parents were once junior knights, and even they couldn't satisfy Loran's desire to read, let alone the group of adventurers who came together through adventure.

How many hard-earned coins could they possibly have left to invest in their children's education?

All the money I had was spent on buying equipment and potions. Of course, going to the tavern for a little relaxation was also a necessary expense.

Even though magic has such thresholds and barriers, it's nothing to Loran.

If Loran can learn the Shadow Ambush technique from the young assassin Lin Wen through the Adventure Handbook, then he can learn magic!

Therefore, he needs to recruit a mage into the adventurer's party!

If you learn a mage's spellcasting skills, you have a chance to master those skills. Over time, wouldn't that be equivalent to becoming a mage yourself?

Loran couldn't help but smile at this thought; who could resist powerful magic?

With aspirations and expectations for the future, Loran turned his attention back to the adventure manual.

Skill - Vision lv.1.

The old man Thompson used this skill to uncover the secrets of the skull back then, and now that he has mastered it, he must test its effectiveness.

But there's nothing around for him to experiment on...

Loran fixed his gaze on his bed. Well, since he could peek at the items, he might as well test the waters first.

He looked at the bed and activated his spiritual vision!

Loran's consciousness seemed to have transmigrated into the bed; at this moment, it was as if he were the bed, and the bed was him.

Loran, who had been turned into a bed, suddenly felt a... vibration coming from her body?

Not only that, but it was also accompanied by a series of strange, soft humming sounds. Loran's pupils widened as she realized that something was wrong.

Hey, hey, hey, no, what have I seen here? I don't want to see this... that... what? from the Middle Ages.

However, once he got into this state, it became difficult for Loran to get out, mainly because he hadn't yet figured out a way to safely escape it. He was forced to observe for quite a while before he finally managed to break free.

Loran was somewhat speechless after being forced to watch a fantastical adventure story about a dark-skinned orc and a village girl. It seemed he would have to be more careful next time he tried to spy on an item.

He finally understood why Thompson had suffered such a backlash back then.

If this applies to objects, what about living beings?

Loran used his spiritual vision to look at Brian.

"Solot Region Hound - Combat Strength Rating: ?"

A line of text appeared above Brian's head, and... Brian's species could be clearly seen.

Besides, the combat power I saw was actually a question mark! Wow, that's incredibly useful! Can you tell me something that people don't know? Could this spiritual vision be any more pathetic?!

Loran then turned his gaze to himself, wondering if this spiritual vision could see him.

As the saying goes, "I examine myself three times a day," and Loran was preparing to see how good his combat skills were.

"Survival Guide: We have detected your intention to observe yourself. We have unlocked the second page of your Adventure Handbook, the 'Attribute Panel,' for you. Please check it out."

Loran was taken aback. His spiritual vision hadn't worked, but the Adventure Handbook had reacted first. Of course, Loran had to go and see what was going on.
