Chapter 6: Level 1 Trash With SS Mana If I had rented that mana-beast carriage, I would’ve reached Hally Forest in five days. But no—genius me chose to walk. Fifteen days later, I finally stood at the edge of the dark green abyss they called a forest. Was it a terrible decision? Absolutely not. In those fifteen days, I trained like a lunatic. Turns out, this body had monstrous mana but zero compatibility with the shadow element at first. And yet... thanks to the System’s earlier reward, the synchronization began. My core started merging with the shadow element. Now? I can cast spells like a proper mid-boss villain. ’System, show my stats.’ [ ─── STATUS WINDOW ─── Name: Ashen (Reincarnated) Level: 1 Race: Human (???) ➤ Physical Strength: D ➤ Mana Capacity: SS ➤ Speed: E ➤ Charm: S ➤ Luck: E ➤ Elemental Affinities: Shadow ??? ??? ??? ??? ➤ Skills: ▸ Shadow Bind – Binds a target using shadow chains. Effective for immobilization. ▸ Shadow Bomb – Creates a volatile orb of shadow mana that explodes on impact. ▸ Shadow Creation – Materializes basic weapons or tools using shadows (e.g., sword, spear, shield). ➤ System Note: Mana-Core Compatibility at 23% ] ’SS mana and I still puke like a dying frog every time I cast two spells. Why’s that, huh?’ [ Because your mana core is like a high-capacity battery... but your body is like a paper straw. It can store and generate mana, but can’t regulate it. Look at your physical stats, you walking glass noodle. ] ’This MF system...’ Honestly, if I didn’t have cheat-tier mana and villain-grade memories, I’d be curled up in a corner somewhere doubting my life choices. But I couldn’t afford to fail. The Ashborn Academy entrance exam was in three months. Written? Easy—my predecessor’s memories were practically a walking test bank. But the physical trial... a damn battle royale in a monster-infested zone? No shot. I’d be dead before even saying, "I’m not Ashen, I swear." Lost in thought, I stepped into the forest—branches creaking, shadows dancing like whispers. Just then, I spotted something. A goblin and a kobold locked in a sloppy death match. Both injured. Both bleeding. Both completely ignoring the third party who just entered the chat: Me. ’Time to test my new toy.’ I raised my hand. The shadow under my feet twisted unnaturally. ’Shadow Creation. Spear.’ From the dark puddle beneath me, a black spear emerged—sleek, jagged, and humming with lethal intent. I aimed and hurled it like I was born for this. THUNK! The goblin didn’t even get to scream. [ ─ SYSTEM ALERT ─ You have defeated your first enemy. Ranking System Unlocked! ────────────────────── Current Level: 1 Kill Progress: ▓░░░░░░░░░ 1/10 ────────────────────── Stat Gains: ➤ Physical Strength: +1 ➤ Mana: +1 ➤ Speed: +1 ➤ Charm: +1 ➤ Luck: +1 ────────────────────── ] ’Oh? A leveling system too? Don’t mind if I do.’ Maybe walking here was the best choice. Because if this forest is filled with low-level XP dispensers like that, then your boy is about to level up faster than a main character on triple XP weekend. Now... where’s that kobold?
