It was a stormy night. The sky was cloaked in thick, roiling black clouds, save for the occasional glimpse of a pale moon. Thunder rumbled, and rain fell in relentless sheets, drowning out the wind's howling. The forest was alive with shadows, twisting and writhing in the storm's fury
Through these shadows, something moved—something near-invisible to the untrained eye. It darted between trees with lethal grace, its form slipping between the darkness like a phantom. Had there been a skilled hunter present, they might have recognized the creature: a lone Lycanthrope. But no such hunter roamed this common forest. Here, in this unremarkable place, no one would expect such a predator to exist
The wolf moved with purpose, its glowing eyes cutting through the gloom. It was hunting, driven by an urgent need, for overmorrow night was approaching—the night when its body would fall under a power beyond its control. If it did not gather enough sustenance, enough mana, to resist the transformation, it would lose itself to the madness that came with it
And so, it hunted
As the wolf sped back toward its lair, blood still staining its maw from a recent kill, a new scent caught its attention—blood and something darker, something steeped in malice. The storm had done its best to wash the stench away, but nothing escaped the wolf's heightened senses
It followed the scent, its movements growing slower, more calculated. Soon, it realized with a gnawing certainty: the scent was leading back to its den
The wolf was no ordinary beast. Its intelligence far surpassed that of the creatures that shared the forest with it. And now, it understood—the prey had come to it. A human, reeking of mana so rich it could guarantee the wolf's survival against. The prey had followed its trail into the cave, oblivious to the truth of the night and unaware of who the real predator was
The wolf stopped, its body tense, every muscle coiled with anticipation. The storm raged on around it, but it barely noticed. There was a cold, calculating malice in its gaze as it waited, eyes gleaming with hunger. It needed to be patient—careful. The night was approaching ever closer and with it, it's influence had already begun to creep through its veins, and it could not afford to act rashly
But it needed that prey
The wolf settled into the shadows, its heartbeats slowing, as it began its hunt in silence, waiting for the perfect moment to strike
****************
When she opened her eyes, the first thing she felt was the cold, unyielding stone beneath her and the damp, sticky sensation of wetness clinging to her skin
Darkness pressed in from all sides. A faint, flickering light from the cave's entrance barely held the gloom at bay, leaving the deeper parts shrouded in impenetrable shadow. She sat up slowly, her head heavy with confusion, struggling to recall how she had ended up here
Outside, the storm raged. Wind lashed the trees with violent force, and the rain fell in sheets, broken only by the occasional burst of thunder. The storm should have kept her awake, the noise alone enough to rob her of sleep
Looking at the outside scenery Mary wondered how the hell she even managed to sleep here at all. But she didn't have the time to ponder that for too long since her body naturally shivered at the cold stone floor and her still wet body. Looking at herself she was sure that she was gonna catch a cold or something if she stayed here
She had to leave. The city was far, but she could somehow make it if she moved now. Yet, as she attempted to stand, her legs refused to cooperate. Her body felt leaden, as though she were weighed down by invisible chains
As Mary flopped down on the floor, a shiver ran down her spine. Suddenly something felt wrong, her senses kept warning her. She peered deeper into the cave, but the darkness was absolute, swallowing her sight whole
A sense of unease settled over her
But panicking wouldn't help her right now. She needed to gather herself, assess the current situation. Then she remembered something, something she'd nearly forgotten in the chaos
"Akasha, show me my status"
//Akasha System initiating...//
A translucent window appeared before her, glowing faintly in the dim cave
-Name:Mary
-Rank:First Order -Level:8(98.1%)
-Class:None -Sub-Class:None
-Title:None
-Race:Human -Legacy:None
-Attribute:Fire,Ice,Wind,Lighting,Light

-Status:Injured
-Class skills:None
-Weapon Art:None
She blinked in surprise. The last time she'd checked her status, it was much simpler. Now, there were new abilities, and her stats had shifted in ways she hadn't expected. A flicker of embarrassment crept over her as she realized just how little she knew about these new changes
And as she slowly read through the changes the silence inside her mind was frustrating. Normally, they offered guidance or explanations when changes occurred, but this time, nothing. She sighed, hoping they would eventually wake up and clarify everything. For now, she was left with more questions than answers
"Okay" she muttered, forcing herself to focus. "Let's break this down"
First, the new passive and active skills. Most were related to her path as a mage—a path she hadn't fully committed to. She hadn't anticipated acquiring so many abilities simply by choosing this direction
Secondly—her Wisdom and Intelligence stats had doubled. She wasn't sure if this was normal or some unique trait of her progression. Regardless, it was a clear advantage. Intelligence and Wisdom likely contributed to her magical potential, but she didn't fully understand the difference between them. It would've been helpful if the system could explain, but for now, she'd have to make an educated guess
Thirdly—her mana. It had increased dramatically, probably due to the boost in her Intelligence and Wisdom. Her mana capacity had multiplied, and while she didn't know exactly why, she could feel the energy coursing through her, ready to be tapped into. It was reassuring, though she still wished for an explanation on how to wield it more effectively
Fourthly—her health. She had recovered somewhat, but not entirely. It seemed that sleeping in such poor conditions had hindered her full recovery. Despite the storm outside and the chill of the cave, her body had mended enough to give her some strength back, but not all. Her wounds still ached faintly, reminding her of her current vulnerability
And fifth, last but certainly not least—she still didn't have a class. That was the strangest part. She had chosen the mage path, thinking it would make her a full-fledged mage. But the status window said otherwise
"Akasha, why do i still have no class?"
'Akasha system'
-The host will acquire a class after reaching Second Order and a sub-class at Third Order
"Second Order? What's an Order? And how does this Order thing even work anyway?"
'Akasha system'
*//The levels of each Order, in order//*
-Unclassified LV 0-5
-First Order LV 5-15
-Second Order LV 15-25
-Third Order LV 25-50
-Fourth Order LV 50-100
-Fifth Order LV 100-200
-Sixth Order LV 200-400
-Seventh Order LV 400-600
-Eighth Order LV 600-800
-Ninth Order LV 800-1000
"'Order in order?' That's an odd way of putting it" she muttered, shaking her head. "Someone should probably fix that"
Still, the system's explanation made things a bit clearer. She needed more levels—specifically, she needed to reach the Second Order. "Alright, so I need more EXP, and for that, I need to level up. But how do I get EXP? And how is it awarded, anyway?"
'Akasha system'
-There are many ways to earn EXP, including training, experiencing various events, undergoing impactful changes in thoughts or beliefs, completing rare quests, hunting monsters, fighting, adventuring, exploring and discovering, achieving great feats, improving self-awareness, gaining enlightenment, and more
Mary nodded, her mind working through the possibilities. It seemed like there were plenty of ways to grow stronger, but she'd have to take action. "Okay, I think I get it. But what other functions do you have, Akasha? And can I take the tutorial now?"
'Akasha system'
-Tutorial trial period has ended. Unable to access the tutorial.
-Please ask one question at a time.
-Need help? Please dial the number 9169**** for costumer services. Have a complaint? Please contact the number 95****59. Want a refund? Please send the refund code:1543107912 to the number *********.
-How would you rate your experience thus far from 1 to 10? Please leave us a review.
-Please remove or turn off adblockers.
Looking at the system interference before her, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded as it resembled a sketchy corporate insurance company from her previous world
"Wait... what? One question at a time? You were doing fine until now! And how am I supposed to call customer service when you're censoring the numbers? I don't even have a phone! And what kind of customer service is this, anyway? Isn't this a scam? What do you even offer? And—ads? You have ads? Do you even know what ads are?"
'Akasha system'
-'Our customer service offers guidance on how to use the Akasha System by consulting the Librarian. If the Librarian is unable to assist, you may file a complaint with the owner'
-'Please ask one question at a time'
"Fine. Contact this customer service Librarian. I need to have a word with them"
The moment she gave the command, a small projection appeared before her—a chibi version of Ethan. The tiny figure, no taller than a child, stood in the air, arms crossed and a pout on his face
'The Librarian of the Akashic Records, Bumbum, is here at your service. Hi. How may I help you?'
As a voice was projected into her mind Mary couldn't help but stare, wide-eyed and speechless. The ball of cuteness floating before her was not what she had expected. She was too stunned to raise her voice, her heart melting at the sight of his large, innocent eyes
For his part, Bumbum sighed, sensing her admiration and silently cursed whoever had designed his appearance to resemble the owners young body. The girl's eyes were practically sparkling as she gazed at him, which only made things worse for him
'Look' Bumbum said, voice tinged with exasperation 'There are other users who need help besides you. If you don't have a question, I'll be on my way'
"W-wait!" Mary reached out, trying to grab him before he disappeared, but her hand passed through the projection as if it were made of mist
'Akasha system'
-The Customer service has been used. System is now on cooldown.
-Cooldown time 999:998:58.
-If you have any other questions, please ask the Akasha system.
Mary stared at the message in disbelief. The moment she had finally gotten to speak with someone, they vanished just like that. She sighed, regretting her hesitation and missing the chance to ask Bumbum more questions
Still, she had learned something. At least now, she knew what "customer service" actually does
"Alright, i got it. So what other functions do you have?"
'Akasha system'
-We have many useful functions for both battle and daily activities, including alarms to wake you at set times or warn you of danger and intruders. You may also perform appraisals with the command 'Appraisal' Additional commands and features can be unlocked by meeting certain conditions or purchasing expansion DLC. If you don't have the money, you may choose to view ads
Mary blinked in surprise. Ads? This seemingly omnipotent system ran ads? It was strange enough to make her curious. What could she lose?
"Then can i view the ads?"
'Akasha system'
*//Warning notice//*
-The content of the ad may differ from what the host imagines. We advise preparing for potential shock in a safe environment, as the experience may pose a risk to the host
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just show me the ad" No sooner had the words left her mouth, her surroundings shifted
Suddenly, she found herself standing in an unfamiliar space. It was raining. She was in a dense forest, facing the entrance of a cave. There was something about this place... it felt familiar
Just then a sound came from behind that made her turn. Her heart raced as she saw a giant, humanoid wolf—at least two meters tall—walking toward the cave on its hind legs
She met its eyes, and a cold wave of terror washed over her. A status window flashed in front of her
'Akasha system'
*//Status window//*
-Name:Shadow Lycanthrope
-Level:25 -Rank:Second Order
-Attribute:Moon,Shadow
-Description: A lycanthrope, once the king of wolves and the apex predator of the forests, now lingers as a specter, clinging to its past glory
'Akasha system'
*//Warning notice//*
-The host has been inflicted with the Fear status
-The host has been judged incapable of proper judgement. Activating protocol
Following that another message popped up but was barely registered in her overwhelmed mind
*//Warning notice//*
-The survival probability of the host has been calculated to be too low. Advising immediate retreat
-The host's mental state has been deemed unstable. Activating emergency protocol
Mary was frozen in place, too terrified to move or even think straight
Just then a much louder alert cut through her paralysis
'Akasha system'
*//!!!WARNING!!!//*
-Detecting outside interference
-Activate the defense protocol?
-It will be automatically activated after 3 seconds
"Defense protocol? Wait, what's happening?" she managed to stammer, her voice barely above a whisper
-"Akasha deactivate the defense protocol and close the vision"
'Akasha system'
-Defense protocol deactivating...
-Vision closing...
The world around her shattered, and in an instant, she was back in the damp, dark cave where she had spent the night
-'Akasha censor all visions. Return all functions to default settings and install fate detection warning program instead of visions'
'Akasha System'
-Vision closed. All systems returned to default. Censoring future visions. Installing Fate Detection Warning in place of visions.
"What was that?" Mary gasped, her heart still pounding
-'That was your potential future and how you're going to die if you stay still'
"And that was supposed to be an ad? Does this thing even understand what an ad is supposed to be like?"
-'The system needed to reference something familiar to create the experience. It couldn't randomly present dangers that will come in the future, as that might interfere with your activities or incapacitate you, exposing you to further risks'
"So... i'm still in danger?"
-'Yes. If you stay put, it will find you soon. Get up and start hunting if you want to survive. Thankfully, it's dawn, so it should have a harder time tracking you down'
"But I—"
-'What are you doing?! Are you just gonna sit there and wait for your death? Get up and get your yourself together!'
"Alright, alright, stop yelling!" Mary grumbled as she hurriedly gathered herself and stepped out of the cave
Once outside, she asked, "I wanted to ask—why are you awake anyway?"
-'One of Akasha's protocols was activated. It woke me up'
"Does it know about you then?"
-'Yes but not yet. The protocol was meant to shock the soul, either awakening the user or stimulating the subconscious to make critical decisions. In this case, it awakened us'
"I don't really understand what you're saying but what's the plan now?"
-'We can't defeat the Shadow Lycanthrope at our current level. While hunting and gaining experience, I'll train you on how to control your mana and use it more effectively'
"Can't we just run away from it?"
-'We could. But Lycanthropes don't let their prey escape once they've started the hunt. They'll chase you until the end of the forest, and specters like the Shadow Lycanthrope are even worse. It will continue hunting you until it you are killed. You're the perfect prey it needs to survive the night. Thankfully, with the sun coming up, it won't be able to catch us right away. We have time, but before the moon rises again, we'll have to confront it'
"Why's the timing so exact? Is there something else going on that I don't know about?"
-'You'll understand when the time comes. For now, focus. Akasha, show the location of the nearest horned rabbit'
-60 meters to the North
-'Let's go'
After hearing those words, Mary sprinted towards the direction indicated by the arrow. As she left the cave, she felt a gaze on her back, the shadows swaying unnervingly. She ignored the sensation and focused on following the arrow, watching it shift in real-time as she moved
Upon reaching her destination, she discovered a small pack of 17 horned rabbits gathered beneath a tree
-'It's a small pack, so you should be able to handle it on your own'
'That's a small pack? What's considered a large pack?'
-'A rabbit pack of 70 is considered large'
'Wait, if there's a large and a small, what's the medium?'
-'A rabbit pack of 30 or more. Enough quenstions now focus on the sensation of your body i'll transfer the necessary memories and experiences later'
'Wait! I have a spell. Can't we just use that?'
-'You... What? You chose a path without consulting me?'
'Uh, yeah?'
-'Haa... Well, it doesn't matter. We can get Ethan to fix that later. For now just make sure to ask me for advice next time. Akasha tell me the details of the skills available for combat'
'You can do that? Does it really work? What more can it do? I–'
-'Mary, focus! And use Fireball!'
'What do you mean, use Fireball? Does that not work? I only have Ember? And i'm not some slave you can send out into battle!'
-'Magic is about making the impossible possible. It's only limited by your imagination. Now focus on your mana breathing—circulate the mana throughout your whole body. Since you don't have a mana vein yet, your stats should compensate for it. Now, put 20 points into agility and the rest into vitality'
'Uhm, about that... i already put everything into vitality'
-'You–what?'
'I put it all into vitality'
-'I didn't ask you to repeat that'
'So... what do we do now?'
-'Just imagine a fireball while activating Ember. I'll guide the mana flow—so just imagine a fireball and try to remember this feeling' When they said that the silver hair at the tip of her hair glowed but it didn't expand like last time
Following their guidance, Mary closed her eyes and stretched out her hands toward the clueless horned rabbits, picturing a fireball she'd seen in movies and other forms of media. As she concentrated, a warmth surged in her chest and spread to her hands. A ball of fire formed, alerting the rabbits, but they didn't yet know the source of the danger
Opening her eyes, Mary was surprised to find that her fireball was even larger than she had imagined—it was bigger than a basketball
-'Now, imagine it flying forward and hitting your target'
Without hesitation, Mary followed their guidance again, visualizing the fireball shooting toward the rabbits
*//Fire series:Fireball//*
In an instant, the fireball shot forward like a rocket, slamming into the rabbits and exploding on impact. The attack wiped out the entire pack. A status window appeared, confirming her victory
'Akasha system'
-You leveled up from LV8-LV10(10.2%)
-You have gained 8 stat points
-Congratulations you have obtained the skill Fireball LV1
-Congratulations your skills have leveled up. Mana control LV1-LV3, Mana breath LV1-LV4
-'Akasha close the window put all available stat points into agility'
-Agility:7-15
As the stat points were allocated, Mary's body felt different, faster—her thoughts sharper, her senses more attuned to everything around her. But the sensation quickly settled, her mind adapting to the change
-'It's not time to get dazed yet. Akasha, show me the nearest horn rabbit nest'
'Wait!' Mary's voice interrupted urgently
-'What is it we don't have time to waste'
'Umm, i-... how to say it umm' While she was hesitating, trying to find the right words. Her stomach suddenly growled loudly, expressing her need far more clearly than she could. Causing her to blush in embarrassment
An awkward silence followed, with Mary feeling utterly foolish, while her other self seemed momentarily stunned by the absurdity of the situation. Finally, the silence was broken by the silver-haired Mary's mental command
-'Akasha, turn on the settings auto collection and convertion'
"Thank you" Mary mumbled, still embarrassed
-'While Akasha is doing it's thing we will use this opportunity to teach you the basics so gather materials by using wind blade and hunt wild boars and horn rabbits with ice arrow before lighting the wood with fire using ember. But remeber you will need my approval to be allowed to eat'
"I can handle that. It's easy"
***********************
Mary severely underestimated the difficulty of the tasks. After the morning's energy outburst wore off, she found herself utterly exhausted, her body aching and her stomach growling fiercely. Hunger gnawed at her, a cruel reminder of painful memories, and she hadn't been able to catch a wink of sleep. She had trained relentlessly, well past dusk, and now, with the sky darkening, night was quickly approaching
She hated being hungry. Worse still, the only thing she had managed to put in her mouth was a charred mess of burnt ash, the result of her failed attempts to cook. If that wasn't bad enough, she was constantly on the move, forced to relocate every few hours due to the eerie sensation of being watched, a persistent gaze she couldn't quite shake off
The training itself was far harder than she had anticipated. Her first task—making precise, clean cuts using Wind Blade—had proven incredibly difficult. Controlling wind pressure was trickier than she thought, and whenever she failed to properly concentrate it, the blade would blow up entire trees instead of slicing them. Eventually, she was forced to evolve Wind Blade into Wind Cutter just to make the cuts she needed
The second task—hunting with Ice Arrow—seemed simple at first, until she actually tried to hit the fast, agile horned rabbits. Her initial attempts were a disaster. The slow, lumbering ice arrows were far too sluggish, missing their targets entirely. To keep up with the rabbits' speed, she had to evolve Ice Arrow into Frost Javelin, which provided the precision and velocity necessary for hunting the quick-moving creatures
The third task, which she initially thought would be the easiest—lighting a fire—turned out to be the most frustrating of all. The wood was damp from the earlier rain, and her weak flames couldn't get it to ignite. When she tried using stronger flames, they incinerated both the wood and the meat, forcing her to start over from scratch. Control was key, and she had to evolve Ember into a more refined flame to get the right balance. On top of that, they had her cook the rabbit meat by hand, using a controlled electric shock to make it uncooked on the inside and perfectly well-done on the outside
As if all that wasn't enough, she had to maintain a steady light spell to illuminate her surroundings while also recovering from her fatigue. The continuous mana usage, combined with the constant training, was draining her more than she could have imagined
But the worst part of all? Gaining the silver-haired version of herself's approval. They didn't let her stop until she had evolved every single one of her skills, pushing each to its limit. They even forced her to learn Healing Light and White Light just so she could continue training while recovering from her injuries
And just when she thought it couldn't get any worse, they made her develop a Mana Vein and a Mana Heart, eventually forcing her to form a Mana Core. This process was grueling—training her body with Partial Body Enhancement and physical strengthening techniques while also learning full Body Enhancement. Whenever she failed, they transferred the memory of her failure back to her, guiding her through her mistakes by showing her successful examples. There was no room for error
The Mana Heart allowed her to store mana within her body, while the Mana Veins circulated that mana through her system. After both were formed, she finally created a Mana Core within her heart, which would determine her overall mana output. This was the foundation of any true mage's power, and she had to achieve it
Her beginner clothes, though strange, at least had self-repairing and cleaning features—though the shirt couldn't get rid of all the stains from her training. But in the grand scheme of things, that didn't matter
Because by the end of this grueling ordeal, she had hunted a total of 238 horned rabbits and 181 wild boars. She had even earned herself a new title. Though it felt like only a short period had passed, the memories and experiences she had absorbed made it feel like she had spent nearly 10 months in intense training
The results of her hard work were clear, reflected in the status window that appeared before her

"Umm... then can i choose my class?" Mary asked, hopeful that this ordeal might finally be over
-'No, we still have a lot of things to prepare' They answered her firmly
"Then... can i atleast eat? I'm staving" Mary muttered, her stomach rumbling in protest
-'You'll eat them tommorow morning. For now we're going ghost hunting now'
"What?!" Mary's eyes widened in disbelief "Didn't we already hunt enough?"
-'I am not talking about that. Did you already forget? The Shadow Lycanthrope will probably hunt us tonight before 'That' happens. It's been waiting for the right moment to strike and now that it's time is running out it will most likely come to hunt us'
"What are you even saying?" Mary questioned, her exhaustion making her mind feel sluggish
-'Akasha show us the location of the nearest spectre that is hostile to us'
'Akasha system'
-Detected 600 meters to South-West
Before the voice could even finish processing the information, Mary bolted in the direction of the arrow pointing southwest, her body moving faster than her thoughts. She was done with being hungry. She was tired of the constant strain. If killing this creature—the one responsible for her misfortune—was all it took to end this nightmare, she was more than ready to face it
She wasn't sure exactly what she was hunting, or why she was hunting, but one thing was certain: once it was dead, she could finally sleep, and maybe, just maybe, she could eat
******************
The Spectre Lycanthrope had been feeling uneasy for some time now, its instincts on edge. It couldn't quite understand why, but it attributed the feeling to the approach of that night—the night when everything always felt wrong
*//Ice series:Ice javelin//*
Without warning, a sharp javelin of ice struck its back. Though the ice began to form around the wolf, attempting to bind it in place, the spectre merely shrugged off the attempt, its near-intangible form offering little resistance to the cold
*//Wind series:Wind blast//*
A gust of wind howled into the clearing, striking the spectre with force. A hole opened up in its ethereal body, but once again, it had no visible effect. The spectre whirled around, its yellowed eyes locking onto the direction of the attack
It charged forward, moving with unnatural speed toward its assailant, its claws leaving no sound as they scraped against the ground
*//Ice series:Ice arrow//*
Mary conjured a volley of ice arrows, launching them in quick succession to block its path. The arrows flew straight and true, but the Lycanthrope didn't falter, its form slipping through them as though it were cutting through mist
With a feral snarl, the spectre leaped at Mary, but she was ready. At the last moment, she thrust her hand torwards it as it crackled with lighting
*//Lighting series:Lighting discharge//*
A blast of electric energy erupted from her palms, hitting the spectre point-blank. The force sent the wolf flying, its upper half reduced to ashes by the intense lightning strike. Yet, to her dismay, it rose again, regenerating as if nothing had happened to it
'Why isn't it dying?'
-'What you're facing right now isn't a normal monster but a spectre'
'What's a spectre? And how do you kill it?'
-'A spectre is a ghost or a spirit. And in this case the spirit of the Lycanthrope refusing to accept it's own death'
'So? How do you kill this thing?'
-'You can't kill something that's already dead you can only make it accept it's own death and move on to the afterlife or you can just send it straight into the afterlife with sacred power, rituals or a weapon made to kill them'
*//Wind series:Wind blast//*
Mary unleashed another gust of wind, sending the spectre flying back into the trees. She took a breath, trying to maintain focus while talking
'Is there any other way that i can actually kill this thing?'
-'Yes. You can wait until the full moon rises. That's when it died originally—it will be more vulnerable then, more willing to accept its fate. Plus, we might get a bonus reward for resolving it on the same night it died'
'So i just have to waste time until then?'
-'Yes. But remember, undead creatures don't get tired, and they feel no pain. It will keep coming after you relentlessly until you can't fight anymore or until it's incapacitated'
'I'm confident in my ability to waste time so just leave it to me and sleep' she said while glancing at her status window to ensure she has enough mana reserves left
-Mana:171/2670
-'We'll be waking up by tommorow night so make sure to survive the night'
'Yeah, yeah, I got it' She watched the spectre, now regaining its footing after the last attack, then dashed towards it while casting another wind blast
