As soon as I woke up, it was afternoon, and I realized that the room was tidy. Marya cleaned my room then? Good thing she let me sleep.

'Shit my clothes'

As soon as I looked at my body, I saw that the clothing I was wearing was in a deplorable state, was completely smeared with Earth Dragon's blood, was in a deep red blood, even the bed was soiled with blood.

'Marya saw me right? I have to talk to her before she tells her mother '

I change clothes quickly and run after Marya, I have to ask her not to tell Mom, if Mom finds out I'm too screwed, I can't let that happen.

'Where is she?'

I ran all over the house, but couldn't find Marya, has she ever gone to talk to her mother in the village? If this happened I'm totally screwed. I started running out of the house, as soon as I arrived, I saw Marya putting the clothes to dry.

'God, I thought she had gone to talk to my mother'

"Marya" (Endl)

I looked at her with a guilty face, surely she realized why I'm here because she made a angry face.

"Good morning Endl" (Marya)

Marya greeted me, but she was angry in her voice, I could tell, she is certainly angry because she knows something happened, or she knows that I fought monsters, since I could clearly tell it was blood in my clothes.

"Good thing it wasn't a my mother who came into in my bedroom" (Endl)

"What?" (Marya)

'Shit, did I say that out loud?'

Marya questioned me with a voice of pure hatred. I certainly said something I shouldn't, I'm very screwed right now.

"Endl, what happened to you yesterday? Why were you like that?" (Marya)

No way, I'll have to explain. Then I'll have to look for a way to make Marya not tell Mom what I did.

'I went out at night hiding, and was hunting monsters in the woods' (Endl)

Plaan--

'Hm?'

I felt my face hurt, wait, did Marya slap me?

"You idiot" (Marya)

After slapping me in the face, Marya hugged me, I could do nothing, I just stood there without reaction.

"Why did you do that? And if something had happened to you? You know I raised you from a young age, if something had happened to you, how do you think I would be?" (Marya)

Why? this feeling of guilt I feel. Marya took care of me since I was a little boy, she's very mad at me, rightly so.

I returned Marya's hug.

"Sorry Marya, Sorry" (Endl)

I had to apologize, Marya was a second mother to me, I can't imagine how she felt when she saw me in that state and find out that I was hunting monsters at night in the woods.

After a while, Marya released me and looked me straight in the eye.

"Alright Endl, but promise me, don't do that anymore" (Marya)

"I promise, but please don't tell my mom, if she finds out, I don't know what she can do" (Endl)

I had to say that, if Mom found out I, I'd certainly be grounded for the rest of my life, though I could run away from him anytime I wanted.

"Fine, I don't tell your mom, but if I find out you did it again, I'll tell her, right?" (Marya)

"Right." (Endl)

I just accepted Marya's proposal, but I was sure to go hunting again.

'Sorry for fooling you Marya'

After all this commotion, I went inside and waited for nightfall again.

##########

When night came, I went hunting again, I apologize to Marya, but I can't stop hunting because of her, I need to get stronger.

'Really, I had no skill points?'

I remembered that I had climbed 3 levels by killing the land dragon, I have 15 points to spend.

First we will put all spells at level 5, we will also put fencing at maximum level.

Skill learned Master Swordsman.

Ohhh, putting sword talent to the highest level, am I now a Swordsman Master? This is very good, now can I go up more levels yet?

Weapon Abilities

Swordsman Master - Level 1/10

Yes, it certainly is that, I can climb even more levels.

Well now is not the time, I have to raise my status.

First I increase my strength and agility to 100. There are 8 points left to use, so I decide to split between Strength and Agility, I want to raise those Status a lot.

After using my Status points, I open my Status to check.

This is very good, now I'm really strong.

After that, I hunted monsters for a while, only killed Kobolds and Goblins, but couldn't level up yet.

When I got tired of hunting and saw that I wasn't leveling up, I just went home and slept.
