"With the missions being tougher than usual, Theo started his training again.
This time, his first focus was to level up.
He had already graduated from the moss slime territory, which was the worst to defeat now in terms of EXP gain.
Mantis killed vipers one after another; the points needed to reach level 4 were very few.
Theo saw the progress bar fill up after every viper in satisfaction. Another milestone was going to be completed soon enough.
While he was observing everything in safety, Theo started feeling something else too.
It was a weird feeling for him. All this time, when he was in a forest, he couldn't help but want to feel safe.
But since the interaction with the viper they captured, his 'fear' of going close to dangerous situations and beasts had diluted a little.
Theo was now curious as to what he could do by himself to such creatures.
Till now, the skills he had acquired were rookie-level hand-to-hand combat and dagger throwing.
