Chapter 1: "Maximum Level" Mage
Buklin Duchy.
East, Border Town.
In the desert, ten minutes away from the town.
An Kai was in a good mood as he rode his newly tamed horse and slowly headed towards the town.
Not far behind him were a desert traveller and three burly guards who watched An Kai leave with hatred.
They were helpless.
The travelling merchant looked at the carriage that had been looted and sighed helplessly. "We can't come to the Buklin Duchy again. It's too dangerous. We were robbed before we even entered the duchy!"
The travelling merchant sat in the horseless carriage. His expression was one of helplessness and a trace of resentment.
After taking a final look at the carriage that he had spent a lot of money to buy, he helplessly abandoned it on the spot and walked back to the road he came from with the three guards.
The four of them walked on foot in the endless desert. They seemed rather lonely. Vaguely, a suppressed curse could be heard. "Damn Barbarian!"
Border Town, entrance.
An Kai rode his horse and found a hunchbacked middle-aged man.
The man was lying at the entrance of the town, where there were not much greenery. His head was tilted under the tree.
Listening carefully, there was also a light snoring sound.
An Kai got off the horse and walked to the man, kicking his calf. "Wake up! Wake up! Widow Wang ran away with someone!"
"What?! Who did Widow Wang run off with?" The hunchbacked man instantly stood up straight!
Looking around, he did not see Widow Wang. Instead, he saw An Kai standing in front of her with an evil smile.
" Why is it you, brat?!" The man's back instantly bent.
An Kai was not angry at being called a brat. He pointed at the yellow horse behind him and said, " A high-level magic beast that can run for ten thousand miles, three sets of brand-new protective gear, a Legendary grade gem ring, and two bags of seeds that were cast by a noble mage.
"These things for two high-grade sorcerer's stones. Aren't I being so kind to you?!"
An Kai had an expression that said," You're making a big profit off of me." He reached out his hand to the man in front of him and asked for the reward.
Unexpectedly, the man ignored An Kai's hand and walked to the old yellow horse that was panting heavily.
He skillfully rummaged through the bags on both sides.
There were three daggers with rotten handles, three patched robes, and a brown ring with a cracked gem.
Of the things An Kai had mentioned, only the last two bags of seeds were true.
Because that bastard An Kai was an apprentice mage in the Mage Association.
The man wondered if the Archmage had lost his mind actually to accept this guy as a mage.
In just a few breaths, he had already estimated the value of the things An Kai had brought.
He took out a blue stone the size of a fingernail and threw it to An Kai.
"A low-grade sorcerer's stone. Take it or leave it."
An Kai quickly caught the Sorcerer's Stone and turned to leave without hesitation.
"Greedy old man, aren't you afraid of retribution?" When he reached the town gate, An Kai suddenly turned around and shouted. Then, he ran into the nameless border town.
"Get lost! If you want retribution, get back here!"
Hanks laughed and pulled the reins, preparing to walk towards the crooked tree.
Seeing that it had a new master, the yellow horse was a little dissatisfied. Just as it was about to retort, Hanks slapped the back of the yellow horse.
The yellow horse stumbled and whimpered a few times before following Hanks obediently.
"An animal is an animal!" Hanks muttered and tied the yellow horse to the branch of the crooked tree. He laughed evilly and continued to lie down. "Hehehe, Widow Wang, I'm here ~."
.
After entering the town, An Kai ran back to his home in the northeast corner.
A stone house was built with yellow soil mixed with stones.
It was about 50 square meters in size and had a courtyard of 40 to 50 square meters.
He ran into the house and closed the door.
An Kai took out a blue magic stone the size of a fingernail.
He thought to himself, 'Exchange!'
[Skill Point +1]
"Finally!"
In the room, An Kai let out a long breath.
Without much hesitation, he continued to chant in his heart, "Add to Fireball Lvl."
[Fireball Lvl 0 proficiency +1]
[Fireball upgraded to Lv1]
[Fireball Lvl 1: 1/10]
After the notification panel appeared, An Kai's heart stirred. A fist-sized fireball emitting a scorching light appeared on his right hand!
Looking around, An Kai pushed open the door, walked to the courtyard, and pressed down with his right hand!
The fireball in his hand smashed into the courtyard!
Bang!
A basketball-sized hole appeared!
There were also dark brown marks around it.
"Success!"
He silently said 'System' in his heart, and a personal panel belonging to the An Kai appeared.
[Level Lv1: 10/10]]
[Intelligence: 4 (Initial: 1)]
[Endurance: 4 (Initial: 1)]
[Stamina: 3 (Initial: 1)]
[Strength: 4 (Initial: 1)]
[Talent: Immortality, Mage Body " Lv1 "]
[Spells: Meditation Lvl 1 "1/10", Fireball Lvl 1 "1/10"]
[Identity: A nobody.]
A year ago, An Kai came here from Blue Star.
He also had his gaming talent: Immortality.
It grants him an unlimited lifespan. However, injuries, hunger, illness, and other symptoms could still kill him.
This time, An Kai transmigrated with a meditation skill. After meditation, he could obtain a level of experience.
At first, he thought he was dreaming.
However, reality taught him a lesson.
This was because he had come to this world about 10,000 years earlier than the players.
Therefore, the upper limit of his level acquisition was level 1. When he spent a month meditating and reached the full level of level 1 experience, An Kai suddenly realized... He had maxed out his level.
Unable to level up meant that he could not obtain the attribute reward for levelling up and could not increase his strength.
All of this was like a heavy hammer hitting An Kai's head.
Fortunately, when he levelled up from Level 0 to Level 1, he awakened his Mage talent.
He snuck into the town's Mage Association and became a noble apprentice mage!
He also relied on meditation to convert the excess experience into attribute points, which was how An Kai's current attribute panel was formed.
He had just enough power to hunt and fish.
Of course, his target of hunting and fishing was not animals but people in the desert.
After a year, An Kai had finally saved up enough skill points to exchange for a low-grade magic stone.
It was all thanks to that travelling merchant who brought a horse across the desert despite being so weak.
Together with some of the materials he had saved up in the past, he was able to exchange them for a low-grade magic stone.
"There are still five days until the official examination. It's not too late!"
Apprentice mages of the Mage Association were not just for show.
If one could not master a Level 1 spell within a year, they would be expelled from the Mage Association.
If one could master it, one would be promoted to a Rank 1 Mage and become an official member of the Mage Association. One would receive one low-grade magic stone every month!
This was undoubtedly a huge sum of money!
Looking up, the sun was high up in the sky. An Kai thought about it again and again and prepared to head to the Mage Association to become a full-time mage because he suddenly remembered that tomorrow marked the start of a new month.
