He smiled slightly at his stats and said, "Now show me my skills."

[Skills: Cooking, Appraisal Magic, Nature Magic, Harvesting, Apollo-style Archery technique: Orion, Apollo-style Sword technique: Savant, Apollo-style Dagger technique: Luna, Fire Magic, Ice Magic, Lowest Magic Affinity, Tame, Summon.]

Axel closed the screen. He began to mull over how he acted when he was fighting the skeleton-like young man. He thought about his readiness to kill him and shuddered.

He took a couple seconds to calm down and said, "I need to be able to live in this world. From the memories I got from Icarus, this world lives by, 'Might is right.' Sooner or later, I need to be prepared to kill someone. To not only save myself but my family, friends and to prevent future problems."

Suddenly, the system said, [You not only need to be able to kill but also be able to spare. Not all things need to be solved with killing off the problem. Please, remember this.]

Axel became stunned before he revealed a wide smile and joyfully said, "Your absolutely correct, system! I don't always need to kill."

With the weight on his mind becoming a little lighter, Axel began to close his eyes to sleep when a screen popped up in front of him.

[Personal Quest Completed!

Kill the young man and bury his parents to rest.

Reward: 5,000 system points, 3x Lottery tickets.]

Axel became wide awake as he said, "System, why did I complete the quest? And why is the reward halved?"

[You completed half the quest because you managed to put his parents to rest, so you've earned half the reward.]

Nodding his head, Axel started to relax in his sleeping bag and said, "What's with the lottery ticket? Is it actually a lottery?"

When he recieved the quest, he was in a bad state of mind which caused him to ignore the reward of the quest. Now that he's calm, Axel finally notice that he doesn't know what the lottery ticket is.

The system said nothing while a screen appeared.

[Lottery ticket - A lottery containing anything and everything inside the current realm of occupation. All prizes are randomly drawn and are final. A random amount is gained when an item is drawn in the lottery. Every 10 tickets gains 1 free draw.]

Axel thought hard for a couple minutes before he said, "System, use 2 lottery tickets."

[Using 2 lottery tickets… Congratulations host. Prizes: 3x Evolution stones, 13x two-star cores. All items gained have been deposited into your inventory.]

With his entire body comfortably wrapped up in his sleeping bag, Axel said, "System, when I wake up, tell me what the evolution stones are and what the spellbook function is. I have an idea of what they do but I'm tired. Goodnight."

Axel's eyes slowly shut as he began to drift to the land of dreams.

(POV Change)

A group of men, young and old, stood and talked amongst themselves as an old man wearing a black robe with gold highlights walked towards them and said, "Brothers, one of our disciples was injured."

Everyone turned and looked in surprise at the young man being held by the old man. The young man was unconcious and severly injured with wounds all over his body.

An old man wearing a black robe with red highlights walked out. He looked at the young man and frowned before he said, "What happened?"

The old man carrying the injured young man began recounting everything that happened. Once he finished, everyone yelled in outrage.

A youth wearing said, "Who does he think he is? Doesn't he know who senior is?"

Another youth said, "We should find him and kill him."

Suddenly, the old man said, "We can't. He's currently the companion of Olivia von Apollo, so we can't. However, I gathered some information that he's going to be attending the Adventure Academy. When the inter-academy battle compet.i.tion starts, we can kill him. Luckily, we only have to wait 2 months until it starts."

Another old man wearing a black robe with blue highlights added, "Also, it's impossible for him to get stronger in that short of a period. It takes years to even increase from a half-star to a one-star."

Cruel smiles were present on everyone's faces. The old man carrying the young man muttered, "Soon…"

(POV - Axel)

A gently ray of sunlight shone through the tent as Axel lay asleep in his sleeping bag. Drool dripped down his mouth while he muttered in his sleep.

Axel slowly opened his eyes. He sat up while rubbing his eyes and yawned. After regaining a clear state of mind, a screen suddenly popped up.

[Evolution Stone - A stone containing the power to forcefully evolve any beast below five-stars. Using the evolution stone carries no side-effect.

Function: Spellbook - Records all original spells and corrects them to be as efficient as possible. Can be set to record any spell, power, ability and skill. However, anything other than original spells that are recorded can't make use of the, 'Correction and Efficiency' feature.]

Axel stared at the screens in confusion before lightly tapping his forehead. He said, "That's right, I asked the system to tell me what the new function and items were before I fell asleep."

Streching his body, Axel jumped out of his sleeping bag and got changed.

A few minutes later, he exited his tent. Axel took a couple deep breaths before breaking into a smile.

"Even though it been 2 weeks, the fresh air in the morning is addicting. Nothing like it back in my old world." Axel said in his mind. Every morning since coming to this world, Axel always takes a deep breath of morning air. Just the crisp feeling of air that doesn't make you choke became a slight addiction for him.

Axel walked to the campfire, only to find the entire place empty. He slyly grinned to himself as he thought, 'She must still be asleep. Let's go wake her.'

A small gust broke out as Axel dashed at Olivia's tent. He barged in and yelled, "Olivia, wake-" but before he could finish, what greeted him was a drowsy Olivia, halfway through changing. Her eyes were barely open as she tried pulling up her panties.

Still half-asleep, Olivia looked over at the frozen solid Axel and smiled. She jumped at him and began cuddling with him as she said, "Yay~ It's Axel~ Hug me~ Hug me~"

Axel didn't move because he mentally shut down as his mind tried to reboot. While he was rebooting, Olivia began groping him when she noticed something important. She wasn't dreaming.

Olivia's face turned scarlet in a flash as a puff of smoke came from her head. She didn't scream nor yell. She only lowered her head and occasionally glanced at Axel. However, she became conflicted as she saw that he had froze.

She felt happy that he was stunned because of her but she was also annoyed he didn't try to apologize or leave. She pouted and said, "Idiot, how long are you gonna stand there? Go outside so I can change."

Axel said nothing, only nodding and robotically walking out. Olivia chuckled to herself and finished getting changed.

Outside, Axel sat down by the campfire as he was deep in thought. Due to the experience of both his life and the princes with there lack of women, Axel couldn't make heads or tails about the situation he just experienced.

Axel was still in deep thought when Olivia came out of her tent. She smiled towards Axel before grabbing some ingredients and cooking breakfast.

After a couple minutes, a couple dished were served. She said, "Axel, breakfast is ready."

Recieving no reply, Olivia turned and saw that Axel was still stunned. She began feeling annoyed. She pinched his cheeks hard and yelled, "Idiot! Breakfast is ready!"

Axel rubbed his cheeks and glared at Olivia. He knew that she only did that to snap him out of his dazed state, but he felt annoyed by her method. Axel swallowed his annoyance and thanked her before eating.
