A series of notifications appeared in front of Alex as he closed the last book. Eight hours, he had read through the entire night and had read a total of 33 books. Thanks to his strength increasing to the core mage rank, Alex didn't feel sleepy or tired in the slightest despite being up the whole night. He even felt like he could go a few more nights without sleep! After keeping the book, Alex called out his system profile in his thoughts and it immediately appeared in front of him. ...

Indestructible Robe: A robe that can block a strike of anyone below the Sage stage. .... Alex's eyes landed on the amount of exp he had, he could not help but sigh. He had made a total of 195 exp points after reading for 8 hours straight, adding to the ten exp points that he had left previously that had given him his current amount of exp. "It would have definitely been more than this if I had spent those eight hours killing magic beasts instead. Reading is really too slow." Alex said and silently chose to level up his system. Immediately, two hundred exp points were used up and his system levelled up twice! [Ding! System level up level 8— level 10!] [Low stage — mid-stage — high stage, core rank!] The notifications appeared in front of him as his system and rank increased. Alex could feel the changes within his body after getting stronger by two sub-stages. Although the effect was not as powerful as when he had levelled up several times in a row, Alex could still feel the mana within him getting stronger and his soul sea increasing in size. "System," he whispered. .... ALMIGHTY PATH SYSTEM (error) Host: Alex Zoran Level: 10 Exp for next level: 15/100(error) Rank: high stage, Core Mage rank Elements: Space. Lightning SPECIAL ABILITIES: Dual-element body: The host can use two elements. Void walk... ... Alex read through his profile quickly, all the changes were what he had expected. He also didn't get any rewards this time, though he was looking forward to it. "Now left with 15 points huh," Alex muttered to himself. He wasn't discouraged by the decrease In his exp but was rather pumped up and full of high spirits instead. He was going to explore again today and could farm more exp points! "Hopefully, I won't be in any need of a new spell and can use everything to level up," Alex said to himself as he got up from his bed. An hour and some minutes later, Alex could be seen in front of their door in a simple jacket and shorts. He didn't carry the old backpack from yesterday this time, and his explorer ID card was in his pocket; he was ready to set off! But before Alex could announce that he was going out, the confused voice of Emily sounded from behind him. "Big brother, where are you going so early?" Alex paused and turned around to see Emily standing at the bottom of the stairs in a simple yellow dress. They had just finished breakfast not long ago and her wet hands showed that she had helped with the dishes not long ago. "Oh, I'm going out again. Might stay long like yesterday." Alex replied honestly but he immediately shut his mouth after seeing how fast Emily's expression changed from curiosity to anger. He felt that his sister might attack him at any moment, and this made Alex very confused. "Is there a problem?" He asked while scratching his head. "Is there a problem?" Emily mimicked Alex before stomping her feet on the ground with force. "Of course, there is a problem! You promised to take me to the theme park today but now you're going out and might come back late?" Emily snapped with red eyes, she looked like she was about to burst into tears. Alex "..." 'I did?" Alex's mind was riddled with question marks as he tried to recall when such a thing had happened, he soon found it. It turned out that there was a theme park that would be reopening today, and the previous Alex had promised to take Emily there after picking her up from school one day and seeing her miserable state. 'Damnit, that means no exp farming for me today.' Alex lamented inwardly but didn't show any displeased expression on his face, he laughed awkwardly instead while scratching the back of his head. "Hahaha, of course I remembered. I was just teasing you and wasn't really going anywhere. We'll leave once you are ready." Alex quickly explained. Emily's expression finally calmed down after hearing Alex's words and she wiped her eyes with the back of her hands. "S-sorry for yelling, I thought that you didn't want to go with me anymore." Emily sobbed. Alex felt bad at the sight of his sister sobbing and moved toward her to console her, he didn't dare to tell her that he had indeed forgotten and was about to go do something else. Well, telling her wasn't important anyway, so he could just forget it. "Don't cry, don't cry. I was at fault for teasing you. Go change into a better dress, and we'll go out." Alex whispered in a low voice. Emily nodded her head before rushing to her room to get changed. seaʀᴄh thё nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Alex shook his head with a helpless smile on his face. He felt bad that he couldn't farm exp today but the thought of making his sister happy made up for it. Family was more important. "Hmm, indeed." Alex closed his eyes and nodded with both hands on his waist. He felt that this pose was very cool because many characters in comics used to do it. "What are you doing standing there like an old man? Are you watching too many dramas?" a teasing voice sounded from not far away, causing Alex to open his eyes and look over. He saw his mom standing at the entrance of the kitchen with her right hand covering her mouth as she laughed. "Haha, it's nothing." Alex laughed as well while touching his nose. His mother waved at him to come over. Alex was confused as to why but still walked toward her. "Here, get some sweets for yourself and your sister while having fun outside." She whispered as she squeezed something into Alex's hand. Alex looked at it and discovered that it was money, a single 500 Zen note!
