nHe grabbed hold of Sera and threw her to the side, as he was tackled by one of the creatures that had jumped at him from the tree.

nWith a crash, he was taken down to the ground.

nDespite the creature’s attempt to bite him, he pierced its chest and threw it off him, clutching its still-beating heart in his hand.

nArcher stored the heart in his Item Box and got to his feet, but as soon as he did, another beast pounced at him.

nUsing his wing, he stopped the cannibal’s pounce, causing it to become disoriented. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Archer impaled the creature with his slender tail.

nMore and more of the creepy creatures started to approach him.

nArcher used Void Blaze, burning all the closest creatures, but he was too busy paying attention to the beasts in front of him.

nSuddenly, another one crept up behind him and attempted to slash him with its filthy claws.

nBut he quickly cast Cosmic Shield, blocking the attack.

nIts claws scraped across the shield sounding like a teacher scratching a chalkboard, but Archer didn’t budge.

nHe used Thunder Step and reappeared behind the creature, shooting a bolt made from lightning at it.

nIt seared right through its body, ending up hitting another creature just in front of it.

nBut even more of them appeared and started to surround him, blocking off his escape by foot.

nWhich he was never going to try.

nSmiling as he fired loads of lightning bolts, hitting numerous creatures but more replaced them making Archer frustrated.

n‘What the hell, why are there so many of them.’

nArcher looked around to see dozens of these horrifying creatures, with blood oozing from wounds on their bodies.

nSome of them were walking on all fours, while others stood upright, their movements jerky and unsettling.

nThe creatures are emitting creepy noises, a mix of growls and hisses, that made the hairs on the back of Archer’s neck stand up.

nThey circled him, with their eyes fixed on him, he felt a creeping sense of unease.

nArcher tried to stay calm, but the sight of these creatures and their creepy movements was starting to get to him.

nHe could feel his heart racing and his palms sweating as they closed in on him, knowing he had to act fast if he wanted to get out of this alive.

nThe creatures started to close in on him, Archer instantly cast a spell he rarely used.

n‘Thunder Wave.’

nA monstrous, violet wave swept out from him, striking all the creatures and sending them running back into the fog.

nJust as he thought he was alone, one of the creatures jumped out of a bush not far from him and started running toward him.

nArcher was about to attack it, but Sera quickly jumped out and started hovering in the air.

nShe let out an adorable growl and released a stream of beautiful fire, hitting the creature directly in the face.

nWhen he looked at the corpse Its head was gone, and the body dropped to the ground.

nHe went around collecting the intact bodies.

nSera approached Archer while looking at him with a grin as she perched on his shoulder, he laughed to himself and continued to make his way south.

nHe traveled for days and days but still didn’t reach the other side, it took him close to a week to cross the Blackwoods.

nEmerging from the dense jungle, Archer blinked in the bright sunlight that shone down on him, he took in his surroundings as he sighed to himself.

n”This must be the Haunted Dunes.”

nBefore him stretched a vast, scorching desert, its sand dunes shimmering in the heat. The air was dry and oppressive, and he could feel the sweat beading on his forehead.

nBut he noticed a small road snaking its way through the desert, leading off into the distance.

nLooking like a thin ribbon, barely visible in the distance, but it was the only path he could see.

nWith a deep breath, he set off towards the road, his feet sinking into the hot sand with each step.

nSera chirped as she took off. She was flying around, he decided to check his status after killing those creepy creatures and the other random beasts.

n‘Status.’

nExperience: 9500

/12000

nLevel Up: 90>91

nSP: 16>76

nCosmic Shield: 3>4 𝑖.𝘤ℴ𝘮

nElement Bolts: 2>3

nAfter calculating his gains, he realized he had earned a total of 14,800 experience points.

nOf these, 4,000 came from defeating the creepy-looking creatures, while another 5,000 came from killing various beasts he encountered in the jungle.

nThe remaining 5,800 experience points came from the hearts he had looted during his journey.

nWhen traveling through the jungle, he consumed all the hearts he had collected up until then, gaining 60 stat points in the process.

nHowever, he had not yet allocated the points he earned until now.

nArcher decided to distribute his points, putting 26 into mana and 10 into the other attributes, except for charisma and intelligence, which received 5 points each.

nHP: 2300>2400

nMana: 8300>9080

nStrength: 1500>1600

nConstitution: 1700>1800

nStamina: 1500>1600

nCharisma: 1750>1800

nIntelligence: 1350>1400

nFeeling pleased with his progress, Archer couldn’t help but feel excited as he saw his mana level approach 10,000.

nWalking along, he pulled out a bottle of Honey Brew and started drinking it.

nWhen he finished, Sera plopped down on his shoulder and curled up falling asleep after eating all those insects.

nArcher journeyed for hours, but all he saw was an endless expanse of desert. As he looked up, he noticed the sun beginning to set, prompting him to retreat to his Domain and take a refreshing bath.

nEntering his Domain, Archer noticed the same sun setting in the distance.

nLooking around, Archer spotted a group of kids running around.

nIn the empty field behind the tent city, he could see Mohemet training about 100 men.

nWith a smile on his face, Archer made his way to the cottage.

nAs he entered, he was greeted by the delightful aroma of wildflowers and freshly baked bread.

nArcher saw a few brownies cooking in the kitchen and they turned around to spot him.

nThey started rushing around, loading up a plate full of food.

nAs they walked over to him with smiles on their little faces, they spoke.

n“Master Archer here is some food for you.”

nSmiling at the little brownies as he took the plate of food and made his way over to the balcony.

n“Thank you,” he said.

nAfter the two brownies bowed and went off to continue cooking, Archer made his way over to the balcony.

nHe sat down and started to eat the delicious food they had prepared for him, he was enjoying the bread they baked.

nThey gave him some bacon-looking meat, some bread, and some other meat.

nLooking out over his Domain he gazed out at the sprawling tent city and the other wooden buildings stretching into the distance.

nBeyond them, he could see a beautiful lake shimmering in the sunlight, and a majestic mountain range rising up in the distance.

nClosing his eyes he imagined the Domain growing in size. The land around everything he created becomes a sea of grassland as far as the eyes can see.

nArcher created a large lake and a massive redwood forest in the west, while adding every peaceful beast he could think of.

nHe opened his eyes as he shook his head and checked his mana.

nMana: 3000

/9080

nSeeing he had 3000 mana left he decided to continue, closing his eyes again. He started picturing loads of lake beasts roaming in the massive lake in the west.

nFinishing up he stood and made his way to the bedroom while undressing, he entered a room and jumped into bed.

nSera saw him and followed him to bed, curling up next to him.

nAs the morning light began to filter through the window, Archer stirred from his slumber and slowly opened his eyes.

nHe sat up in bed as he stretched his arms, feeling the stiffness of sleep leaving his body.

nGrabbing his clothes from his Item box, he began to put them back on, one by one.

nFirst his shirt, then his pants, and finally his long boots.

nCasting cleanse on himself as he pulled out a meat wrap, as he did Sera opened her little red eyes and pounced at him.

nShe grabbed the meat wrap and flew off as she let out a giggle sound.

n”Stop taking my food Sera!”

nPulling out another as he exited the Domain.

nAs Archer stepped out of his domain, he continued walking through the Haunted Dunes.

nThe sand shifted beneath his boots, and the wind howled in his ears.

nSummoning his Draconic Form.

n‘Draconis.’

nAll of his features, except for his teeth and claws, were visible as his wings extended and he smiled.

nSera crawled into his shirt and clung to him tightly, much like a baby monkey.

nHe took off and started flying south.

nArcher flew for a couple of hours before he noticed a caravan slowly moving in the distance.
