Ilea breathed out, still standing over the destroyed elf. I want to go back to look at the city... she thought as she read through the messages. Neat. Ill check that out later...

She walked up to Rock and healed the burns he had retained from his block. The rogue was fine and Ilea actually smiled when the ranger returned to join them a couple moments later.

Congratulations on reaching 200. Rock said as Sulivhaan landed What are you gonna choose for your first third tier skill? Or do you not have one yet? he finished.

Im not sure yet. How do I get more than one?

You get a 3rd stage skill point for each twenty levels after 200, at least thats how its been for me so far. Though the skills you can choose vary. Each has separate requirements. Sulivhaan helpfully supplied.

Why didnt I ask you about this earlier. Ilea said and looked towards the sky. When will the next one appear you think? she asked but Sulivhaan was silent. Well Ill go check out the city some more then, will hear the fuck anyway.

She walked away as Sulivhaan started to talk to the rogue about her advancements. She had gained two levels from the fight. Ilea put her new points into Strength and got her map out again to find the city library. The walk was quiet and the smell of blood and smoke was less prominent already with the layer of snow above the corpses. The weather was shifting again and Ilea assumed the snowfall would return shortly.

Coming to a stop in front of a massive building with beautifully designed architecture Ilea shooed away some goblins and entered the building. Now where would be a good reading spot? she thought and walked up to the reception. There was blood smeared on the book in the middle of the counter but luckily it had been closed when the attack had happened.

She opened it up and looked through the pages, quickly finding what she had been looking for. A map of the building itself and prominently placed in the top floor was the office of the top dog in the library. Maybe theres a high librarian class... some air left her nose at her own joke but she didnt smile.

Ilea simply blinked upwards twice before she entered the luxurious room. More like a penthouse. there was a massive desk in the middle of the room and walls lined with bookshelves. More importantly though there were very comfortable looking leather chairs and a fireplace. Nothing was burning at the moment and it gave the room a gray and eerie atmosphere but that would be changed quite quickly. Ilea took the golden lighter that was above the fireplace and looked at it. Nice. she thought and used it. A small blue flame appeared before her but there was no spark. Magic perception told her that yes, it was magic. She placed some of the wood from next to the fireplace inside and lit it.

Walking around the room, she looked through the shelfs until she found something interesting enough. It was a book about magical creatures and where to find them in the world. She liked the beautiful painted pictures inside and thought about what something like that might cost without printing being a thing.

Ilea sat down with the book after having moved the chair a little. Now she could both see the crackling fireplace and the snow falling outside. Opening the book she started to read.

The worm of madness can be found in the great Isanna desert. It is vulnerable to light based magic though scholars are still unclear how that is possible seeing the monster is blind. It can track with tremors in the ground and even fluctuations in the air. Be wary of its illusion magic that can turn even the strongest warriors mad.

Half an hour passed and Ilea had read up on many interesting yet terrifying creatures. She was most interested in the backgrounds of the pictures though which depicted beautiful lands and vast natural wonders, though she wasnt sure how much liberty the artist executed in creating the work. The last part of the book was outright declared as fiction, as many of the monsters were never confirmed to exist and their levels were unknown.

Ilea put the book into her storage necklace, quite interested to continue at a later point in time. Again she checked the possibilities of evolving her class. The healer one is right out. Blood Berserker looks better than the Juggernaut but the blood lust freaks me out a little. checking the last class she accepted it.

Azarinth First Hunter...seems right up my alley with those descriptions. And it has the highest requirements, though that doesnt have to mean anything. she was sure that Blood Berserker and First Hunter were much more rare because it stated one had to be exactly level 200 in Azarinth healer to get them. So the requirements had to be filled before that time.

Ilea sat quietly in her chair as the snow fell outside, reading over the changes once more. She suddenly started laughing and held up her hands to her face. Tears soon joined the laughter as both joy and sadness mixed in her mind, creating a cocktail of explosive emotions. Though quite contrary to Ileas usual personality she slowly calmed down until a deep sigh left her.

And you give this to me after those motherFUCking Praetorians... another sob went through her before she slapped herself in the face. Enough of this...self pity... though the words felt hollow to her. Still now they were out there and as little sense as it made to her in that moment Ilea knew, that acceptance was the first step, at least that was how it was supposed to go.

Concentrate on whats before you then... she thought and looked over the skills again. The most notable change of course was the two hundred percent to body enhancement magic compared to the one hundred before. A change that alone would make her an incredible amount stronger, faster and more resilient.

Ilea summoned a dagger and cut into her arm. The dull pain helped her focus and she watched the wound close quickly with the help of Hunter Recovery through her blurry eyes. It was certainly an improvement but just how much was left to be seen.

I have a sense that Hunters Sight is gonna be invaluable...and the only skill I can reasonably give up is Magic Perception... certainly Magic Perception had warned her of incoming attacks before but in the great scheme of things its bonuses were lackluster compared to many other skills she possessed.

Ilea suddenly felt something was wrong about one of the shelfs near the fireplace. With her sphere she could not see anything behind it yet there was something wrong. Her body felt heavier as she got up and she nearly stumbled. Activating her buffs made her yelp and gasp for air as the power flowed through her. Checking her status she quickly listed the details in her skills.

Ilea only skimmed over the information, one or two bigger numbers stood out to her as having changed significantly. Generally speaking though Ilea preferred to feel the difference herself. Moving through the room with her nearly newfound buffs active she found the experience confusing at first. The increased speed yet changed weight of her bones was interesting to say the least.

Though with all her stats and perception skills it took her mere minutes to get used to the changes. Even switching the skills off and then on again wasnt as confusing anymore. She slowly breathed in and out while standing in front of the window. It felt a little like a punch in her gut to gain so much power right after she had needed it most but this was just part of the world she was now in.

I have to accept it. Accept that this is my reality now. Ilea stood there for a couple minutes, simply looking at the slow falling snow. Peaceful... turning away from the window Ilea again activated her familiar yet newfound spells and clenched her fists. Time to see what this newfound power can do...first though, secret passages... Ilea walked up to the bookshelf she deemed weird before and examined it.
