Berserk Stick System

Chapter 23: Becoming Strong Gradually



Now I’m right in front of the Sorca forest. This forest looks so big, I can’t even see the end, the trees look big, the grass is lush, the sounds of animals that sound unpleasant. No wonder not many people want to enter the forest. At this point, the atmosphere from the outside was already giving off an intimidating aura.

“Huft…. haah….”

Eliminating the tension I had I entered the forest. Just a few minutes after I entered, I was immediately attacked by a black bear.

I jumped up the tree to dodge and looked down where the bear was, but suddenly on top of the tree, a green snake was moving towards me.

Since this place was dangerous I didn’t linger here any longer and moved to find a place to take refuge from wild animals, such as a cave.

After finding the cave, I tried to enter it, and it turned out to be a nest of a giant spider.

‘What’s with this forest? Wherever it is, there are always monsters,’

Since I couldn’t take it anymore, plus I needed a place to shelter, I was going to kill this giant spider.

The spider noticed my presence in its nest and made an incomprehensible sound towards me. Holding the dagger in my hand, I attacked the spider.

The spider got angry and shot its web at me. I dodged it easily. A fierce battle ensued, and I ended up winning it without any problems.

1 year passed.

I’m currently sneaking in the forest. During this 1 year, I learned a lot about how to survive in the forest.

There are times when I will have trouble finding food, especially when winter comes. it was one of my worst memories. The cold in the cave, when I started the bonfire, the fire would suddenly go out at night, without realizing it the next day I was already very cold.

Luckily I have a System, I can see various foodstuffs without fear of poisoning. If I can’t see the status of the groceries, I’m probably dead from poisoning.

During this time I also started to learn to cook properly, the first time I cooked food, it was really bad.It tasted terrible, so I felt like throwing up, since then I started to learn how to cook properly.

But the strange thing is that during this 1 year I didn’t find any traces of the ruins at all, so I just wandered in the forest inexplicably.

And right now I’m focusing my eyes on the wolf’s den in front. The last few days the wolves have been attacking me a lot which irritates me because I can’t take it anymore, I came here to attack the wolf’s den.

My fighting ability improved greatly, I can now make two chains and can last for 5 minutes. Even if it’s only five minutes this is a good thing.

I’m currently tying my dagger with a chain, this will probably look like a weapon in a video game, with the main character named Kratos.

Jumping straight into the crowd of wolves, I swung the chain tied with my dagger, and slashed at all the wolves in front of me, the other wolves saw this angry and many more wolves came out of their dens.

Slashing my chains in various directions, all the wolves died in just two minutes, finally, the leader of the wolves came. It was a two-meter wolf with horns on its head. It growled at me angrily, saw all his wolf pack dead.

The wolf attacked me with very fast movements, leaving me stunned. I dodged all of its attacks with great difficulty. One of its attacks hit my chest.

“Kuh..”

I hissed in pain, the wolf saw an opportunity, tried to attack me again, this time it let out a black magic ball from its mouth.

I dodged jumping up, tying the wolf’s neck with chains, I pulled myself straight at the wolf and stabbed it with a dagger in its head, making the wolf scream in pain.

Seeing that he wasn’t dead and still struggling I stabbed him repeatedly, after a few stabs the wolf finally stopped moving. I breathed a sigh of relief seeing this.

[+3,000 Battle Points]

I went back into the cave to rest afterwards.

A few days later inside Robis Town.

Several people in town were discussing something inside an inn.

“What did you say?? You saw the Horned Wolf’s Lair, all wiped out??” A brown-haired man said in surprise.

“That’s right, I saw it with my own eyes, the wolf’s lair was destroyed, even the corpse of the wolf torn apart was terrible.” A black-haired man said in fear.

“W-what happened in the forest? Are there monsters running amok??”

“You ask me, I don’t know myself either, the Sorca Forest is a dangerous place, many things can happen,”

I didn’t know that what I did just now caused an uproar within the town.

–PoV Silvie–

Three years since Lute’s departure, I’ve been training to get stronger. I’ve learned a lot of magic, but I’m still not satisfied, especially after seeing Celyne’s abilities.

Her ability is very strong she can draw anything and make it real, it makes me jealous because she has a very strong innate skill. Meanwhile, all I can do is make ice and fire.

I’m currently resting with Celyne in a park. Sitting on a chair with a table in front of us, on the table, there are sweets and cakes. I’m sipping tea leisurely. Celyne is also happily eating the sweets and cakes in front of her.

‘Aah.. I’m bored, Lute when are you coming back,’

Thinking of Lute who smiles, sometimes teases me, and even has a stupid face. Unknowingly the corners of my lips lift.

Celyne saw me suddenly smile, looking curious.

“Silvie what are you thinking?”

“Nothing, I was just thinking about Lute,” I replied smiling.

“You’re thinking about Lute? I miss him a lot too.”

After talking about Lute, Celyne’s face lit up, I might even be able to see the heart symbol in her eyes. I feel a little weird seeing this.

‘Lute, what have you done to Celyne??’

I’m starting to wonder, since Lute’s departure, Celyne is acting weirder and weirder, when talking about Lute, she’s like a fanatic who talks about the man she loves. It makes me uncomfortable because I love Lute too.

‘Haahh… Lute I hope you come back soon, Celyne is acting weirder every day,’

Thinking of Lute’s stupid face, I started to think ‘does he even understand?’

Rather than thinking this, I started to look to Celyne to ask something.

“Celyne, since when have you been able to use your innate skills?”

“Hmm? I can use it after I learn to paint, it just happens,” Celyne replied with an innocent expression.

“Hah? Isn’t that too easy?” I looked at her with an expression of disbelief.

“I don’t know either, because that’s all I do,” Celyne shrugged.

Judging from Celyne’s words, it doesn’t seem like she’s lying. I’m also curious if I have an innate skill.

After the break, Celyne and I returned to the practice room. There was nothing special about this training room. It was white in color with walls made of a material that could withstand attacks to a certain extent.

I started to think about what to do now.

‘Since I have fire and ice magic, why don’t I just try to combine them,’

I started thinking about this after hearing Celyne’s explanation earlier. Because it’s possible that innate skills will be unlocked when doing simple things, like Celyne who can use them after she learns to paint.

Casting fire magic in the right hand and magic with ice aura in the left, I tried to combine them. Suddenly I felt a new insight open and flooded my head. I got information about combining these two elements together.

This surprised me, in my hand, there is now a small light blue flame. Even though it looks weak, I can feel how strong it is.

“Celyne, I-I got an innate skill,”

I turned to Celyne happily. Celyne heard me also surprised and came towards me.

“You really did it? congratulations Silvie I didn’t expect you to have an innate skill too.”

Celyne looks happy when I get the innate skill, she also seems to be worried about me, seeing that I’m depressed from day to day.

‘Lute, this way I will step up to be a woman who suits you’

I feel very happy now.

–PoV Lute—

“Achoo…”

I felt shivers and sneezed unintentionally. Right now I was being chased by a lot of monsters. I jumped from tree to tree, trying to escape.

But the problem is, now more and more monsters are chasing me. And suddenly I sneeze when I’m about to run away, because of a sneeze that suddenly my vision darkens and hits a tree so I fall to the ground.

‘W-what? is anyone talking about me,’

I looked around trying to find out, but all I saw now all around me were monsters.

“Oh shit, looks like I have to fight them all,”

The battle took place in the fierce forest, making terrible noises. A group of people heard the screams of the monsters, were horrified. They fled quickly back to the town to tell what they had heard earlier.
