[super strength(common)!]

[effects: increases strength and attack by 10% for 10 seconds.

cooldown: 2 minutes!]

"well. this is interesting," i muttered as i observed one of them coming at me on his lizard faced chicken.

patiently waiting for him to reach me, i stood still, observing him reaching closer to me.

and as he reached 10 meters away from me. he stopped.

"?" i was confused.

the smile on his face widened a little before it turned into a smirk.

'something is amiss,' i thought, observing the smile of that bandit. though all the fog cleared as i saw him taking out a crossbow from his back.

he spoke something in an unknown language before he pointed the crossbow at me.

"f*ck!"

[you have died!]

[game over!]

[restarting from last save point!]

[error! no save point found!]

[restarting from start!]

"that f*cker!!!" i shouted out loud as i recalled that bastard's smirk.

but one thing was for sure... i can't kill those bandits as for now.

'i need some plans. something that should work...'

i began thinking as i recalled that i got a skill when i got my stats to 10

[dexterity: 5 -> 10!]

[you have gained a new basic skill: frenzy!]

[frenzy(common)]

[effects: allows the user to increase all movements by 10% for 10s

cooldown: 2 minutes!]

not wasting my time, i ran again. this time in a different direction than that of the basilisk or those bandits.

running fast, i used [frenzy] many times over. though i could feel it taking a toll on my body.

and after 30 minutes of running...

"you gotta be kidding me!"

my eyes were wide open, i saw a giant eagle standing in front of me.

-kaawwwwww!!!!

[you have died!]

[game over!]

[restarting from last save point!]

[error! no save point found!]

[restarting from start!]

"what kind of situation is this?" i asked myself as i put all the stats in [constitution] this time.

[you have gained a new basic skill: heal!]

[heal(common)]

[effects: allows the user to heal himself by 3 hp!

cost: 10 mp

cooldown: 10 seconds!]

i smiled a little. took my first step towards the caravan. looking in the direction where the bandits were going to come from, i began walking one step at a time.

the bandits came as usual. and once again...

[you have died!]

[game over!]

[restarting from last save point!] n))0velbin

[error! no save point found!]

[restarting from start!]

this time i put my points in [intelligence]

[you have unlocked a new basic skill: mana sense!]

[mana sense(common)!]

[effects: allows the user to see the amount of mana a person has!

limitation: the user needs to concentrate and stay still to see the flow of mana!

limitation: cannot be used on beings who are hiding their mana flow!

cost: 1mp/sec]

'hmmm? this one seems different,' i thought as it seemed i could gauge the strength of those bandits.

since i had only 10 mp. i waited for those bandits to come again. and soon enough, they appeared in my sights before i began concentrating.

[mana sense!]

i looked at the amount of mana those bandits had. one of them had little mana, while the other 5 had quite an amount of mana. as for the last 2...

-blergh!!!

i ended up throwing up as i looked at the amount of mana both of them had... monsters!!!

i expected them to have some mana but... this was fucking ridiculous! how am i supposed to survive this shit? there has to be a limit to how absurd one is!

as the bandits appeared near me again, i took a look at the two robed men at the far behind. one of them had a red hoodie with a strange patterned white cloth covering his face. the other simply looked more like an evil cultist than a bandit.

and once again, the man at the front reached closer to me.

[you have died!]

[game over!]

[restarting from last save point!]

[error! no save point found!]

[restarting from start!]

"next is [wisdom], huh?" i thought as i stood up again. my body was still shaking from the monsters that were moving towards me.

[you have gained a new basic skill: active mana regeneration!]

[active mana regeneration(common)!]

[effects: allows the users to regenerate mana at 10mp per minute!

limitations: the user needs to sit in a meditative position for one minute without any movements!]

"just kill me already," i muttered as i moved towards the bandit's direction again.

and nothing out of the ordinary, i was killed before i could make a move.

[you have died!]

[game over!]

[restarting from last save point!]

[error! no save point found!]

[restarting from start!]

"if this doesn't work... i am really going to go insane," i mumbled as i put all my attribute points in [charm] this time.

[you have gained a new basic skill: haggling!]

[haggling(common)!]

[effects: allows the user to reduce the price of items by 5%!]

"hah! just what i needed," i scoffed sarcastically before i fell on the ground. just what kind of never ending messed up situation was this?

"this fucking heat..." i groaned as i stood up again. the hot sand was not so comfortable to lie on.

'now... what to do?' i questioned, as i could feel my hands shaking from fear. honestly, i wasn't smart enough to know what exactly i should do in this situation...

my eyes then looked at the caravan in front of me. the beautiful blue coloured caravan in this never-ending-impossible-to-escape desert.

"the bandits shouldn't be here for another 10 or 15 minutes," i mumbled as i began walking towards the caravan once again. this time, i just wanted to rest a little. take a break from dying, you know? i feel like i kinda needed it.

moving inside the caravan, i then locked the caravan from inside. sitting on the rather comfortable seat, i finally relaxed a little. even though my body was physically fine, i still felt kinda refreshed sitting on the lavish seats.

after sitting for a while, i then laid on my back. it wasn't a big caravan, but if i folded my legs a little while keeping one over the other, i could manage to fit in the seat. using my hands as a pillow, i looked up at the roof while my mind went into thinking mode.

"let's see. there are monsters everywhere and at the center we have bandits. i have some strength and magic skills but i can only use it one at a time," i wondered if there was a way to run in circles and wait till the 60 minutes duration lapsed? the quest wanted me to survive anyway.

"maybe i can cross the bandits without them noticing if i maintain my distance enough? i could even reach the nearest town too," i mumble as ideas begin pouring into my mind.

"i would need [agility]. maybe [constitution] too? or should i invest in [strength]... ummm... not really. i should rather invest in [intelligence] and check the strength of the enemy that is there before giving it another try-"

-boom!!!!

though a loud noise woke me up from my thoughts as i fell on the floor of the caravan.

"who in the name of america-"

-booom!!!!!

once again a loud voice came from outside the caravan as i crouched down. slowly moving towards the window, i peaked a little.

-booom!!!

i instinctively stepped back as i saw a fireball attacking me... though it never reached inside the caravan as a strange shield formed around it deflecting the fireball.

-slash! x ???

on the other hand, a barrage of slashes followed the attack as one of the bandits attacked the caravan. though... inside the caravan, there was not a single movement. except for the noise, none of the attacks reached me...

"oh!" i muttered as i realized that this caravan was rather special...
