First Fight

  I immediately got up again, ignoring the pain in my back, but the rat was closer than before.

  And to make matters even worse, I received some alarming notifications.

  [warning]

  [You have been affected by the status effect: [Poisoned: Lv1]. You will lose 5 HP per minute.]

  'Perfect, just what I needed to calm down a little.' I shouted sarcastically.

  [You have lost 5 HP.]

  'Why am I always so unlucky? [Global Wisdom] Tell me, how can I escape from this damn rat?!'

  [1. You can keep on running till the status effect [Bleeding: Lv4] on the rat Weaken it, and you give it the final blow.]

  'Now that I pay attention to it, the rat's HP lowered without me doing anything!'

  [2. By using the [Unique Skill: Pinnacle Of Magic] and the [Mind Magic: Lv--] skill]

  [You have lost 5 HP.]

  [I suggest the host to go for the second option because whit the first one you may encounter ever more danger.]

  'But there is a problem. You do know I never used magic before, right?

  Why did you choose these two skills?'

  Instead of receiving a response from [Global Wisdom], two screens with two different descriptions appeared before me.

  ...

  [Pinnacle Of Magic]

  Description:

  As a being loved by Mana. The mana listens to you more easily than anyone else; you are able to manipulate it.

  without any problem, and you are naturally akin to all the magic types in this world.

  Effects:

  Your MP recovery is 300% faster, and your

  Mana consumption is reduced by 150%.

  Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

  Magic affinity is godlike.

  ...

  ...

  [Mind Magic: Lv--]

  Description:

  You are capable of doing everything with your mind.

  ...

  'Well, the [Mind Magic] doesn't have the best of descriptions, but I think I understand why you want me to use these two skills. Let's put an end to this race.'

  .

  .

  .

  After having prepared a plan with [Global Wisdom], I was still running.

  You may be wondering why, right?

  Well, that's because... 'I HAVE NEVER USED MAGIC BEFORE.'

  [The host must first of all calm down if you want to use magic.]

  'I've already tried that; on the contrary, I'm losing HP as if I'm drinking water!'

  [huff]

  'Did you just chug at me?' I asked, somewhat irritated.

  [No, you imagined it.]

  [Try to imagine controlling some water and running it through your whole body.]

  'You are trying to avoid my question!'

  "SCQEEK!"

  Turning my head a little, I saw that the rat had come so close to me.

  Now he wasn't so far away from me; if his tail were whole, I think he would have already crushed me to the ground by now.

  'What did you say I should do?'

  I asked [Global Wisdom] to repeat what he said.

  [Imagine allowing some water to enter your body and make it flow through your whole body.]

  After listening to what I had to do, I closed my eyes, and after a few seconds I began to feel a sense of warmth flow throughout my body.

  When I reopened my eyes, [Global Wisdom] notified me that I was able to sense the mana.

  [Warning]

  [The host successfully sensed mana for the first time!]

  [Magic stat increased by 20]

  [Acquired. [Mana sense: Lv1] Normal skill.]

  'Wow, this is crazy. Was it supposed to be this easy?'

  [Due to the unique skill [Pinnacle Of Magic], the host will learn magic much more easily than ordinary people.]

  With this in mind, I stopped running away and faced the rat head-on.

  The rat stopped as well...

  Right now we are facing each other, standing still and judging.

  All of a sudden the rat started ironing purple balls. I jumped to my right, and fortunately

  I was able to dodge some of them; unlucky as I am, one managed to hit me in the foot.

  [Warning]

  [The host status effect [Poisoned:Lv1] has worsened to [Poisoned:Lv2].

  [Host will lose 10 HP per minute.]

  'Great, just what was needed. How much HP do I have remaining?'

  [Answer: Host currently has 90 HP remaining.]

  'That means I have to kill it within 6 minutes,' I thought to myself.

  'How can I kill him?'

  [Answer. By using the [Mind Magic] skill to obtain the Characteristic Skills [Telekinesis]

  'What do I need to do to get the skill?'

  [Just think about doing something with your mind, such as making it fly or trailing it to the ground, while you use [Mind Magic]. I think by now you already know how to activate it.]

  'Yes, yes, I think I have a vague idea of how skills activation works. I'll try my best.'

  While I was having a chat with [Global Wisdom], the rat was running at me with his mouth open.

  I had a bad feeling about it, so I jumped back to dodge the bite attack.

  Oddly enough, the place he bit began to melt.

  'What was that?'

  [Answer. The possibility of it being the [Poison Fang] skill is 100%.]

  'What the fuck! If I was just a second late in reacting, I would be dead!'

  The rat didn't wait a second; he charged back at me, trying to bite me.

  I kept dodging his attacks several times.

  As I was dodging his attacks, I noticed that the rat was getting more and more tired and weaker.

  Suddenly I got an idea.

  '[Global Wisdom] Do I have a way of dealing physical damage?'

  [Yes, you currently possess the characteristic skill [Bone Claws]

  'That is good.'

  After confirming that I had a physical damage-dealing skill, I waited for the rat

  to try to bite me again and jumped on his back and activated the [Bone Claws] skill.
