Chapter 7 - 7: Growth

As the Black-Iron Bee dissolved into a shower of digital lights, Vincent's eyes widened at the sight of a mysterious white orb hovering amidst the remains. Curiosity overcame his fatigue, and he reached out to grasp the glowing sphere.

The moment his fingers made contact, the orb shattered into motes of light, coalescing into a small white book that floated before him. The title shimmered into view: "Common Stinger Skill Book."

"It dropped a skill book?!" Vincent exclaimed, his voice a mix of surprise and excitement. He quickly composed himself, remembering the potential dangers lurking in the forest.

Without hesitation, he focused on the book, and a system prompt appeared in his mind:

Skill Name: Stinger

Quality: Common

Effect: Increases the damage and status effect of weapon strikes, causing the target to bleed and take poison damage for a short duration.

[Do you want to learn Stinger?]

Vincent didn't even pause to consider. With a thought, he accepted the skill.

As the white skill book dissolved into particles of digital light, he felt a warm energy and newfound knowledge enter his being.

[New Skill 'Stinger' has been added!]

With a mere thought, Vincent summoned his personal attributes visual data:

A smile played on Vincent's lips as he reviewed his stats.

"Excellent," he murmured, his voice low but filled with satisfaction.

"Just one kill, and I'm already halfway to breaking through to Tier 1-2★. This new skill will significantly increase my damage output against the Black-Iron Bees."

He paused, considering his next move.

"One more kill should suffice. Then I'll be able to handle these creatures with relative ease."

Vincent carefully stored the 20 cm long, 3 cm diameter Black-Iron Stinger in his backpack. He needed four more of these materials to complete his mission, and he was cautiously optimistic about obtaining them.

After a brief rest to recover his energy, Vincent surveyed the area,

"Who?" he wondered.
