A Forgotten Hero - Volume 1 Chapter 10 Time To Train
Nothing else in the room, Jack made his way back to the entrance, which didn’t take as long since he decided to run this time.
After an hour or so, he was back outside, surrounded by the greenery all around him.
He did as was instructed and placed the stone at his chest, luckily it was easy since he was n.a.k.e.d with only a cloak.
A blue flash radiated suddenly at Jack’s eyes and the surrounding. Next moment he saw the stone stuck on his chest!
It seems that half of the stone is inside his body, as if it dispersed since blue like circuit lines traced around Jack’s body as if he was a machine and that was his centre power core. The second half of the stone was on the outside of his chest but luckily it was palm sized and with Jack’s tall and quite muscular body, it made him look more powerful!
The many blue line traces around his body and inside weren’t just for show, as what it did was analyse his energy constantly, so it will always be able to state his power.
More importantly, as the lines went around they also traced to his eye socket which allowed him to see his details, just like any other citizen of this era!

Appeared right in front of his eyes; caused him to feel a little startled.
‘Damn this thing can’t even show my name!, he thought in disappointment. ‘Is it cause of me being in ice for ages that it can’t determine my age?’
While looking at his stats, he was quite disappointed to see his level so low, even though he killed people way above it and some magical beast. Though on a brighter side he felt happy to see himself having a element of ice, confirming that he has the attribute to ice while previously he never had a single one!
Jack mood is quickly ruined as he sees his techniques all being ‘locked’ He guessed it means he is unable to use them, even though he knows how to, which he understood as his power were stripped away from him….
Magic didn’t really bother him as he wasn’t much of a spell caster since a lot of it required use of elements and only a very few did not but they were not worth spending time to learn.
Now for his occupation that did confuse him as how could this thing know, without him registering it. Also what was with the ‘forgotten’ part! Deep inside those words hurt Jack pride quite a bit but decided not to think about it right now.
Finally, Jack figured out how to control the status window and made it vanish from his eyes. Now it was time to see this storage ring!
He placed it on his right index finger. The ring instantly adjusted to Jack’s finger, to fit perfectly and then glowed a dark blue colour as if unlocking itself to its owner!
A day has passed. Jack figured out how to use the storage ring. He just had to think of the item for it to appear but he did not know what was inside to begin with! Luckily his status showed a new icon called ‘storage ring’
It showed him what was inside the ring but also locked out a lot of things as well! What a stingy stone and ring he thought.
Inside the ring where a lot of herbs and materials which was very useful but not at Jack’s current level and plus he did not know what to do with them. He skimmed through a lot of it but there was something that did catch his attention….clothes!!
Without a second thought, he thought about the clothes he saw and with a glow of light, it replaced the cloak; storing it inside. It was shortly replaced by a dark black robe, appeared neatly on his body as if he put it on himself!
Its quite warm and it came with a hood, he thought to himself.
It was far better then the cloak and he had clothing underneath his robe as well. He has conquered the problem of being n.a.k.e.d!
With no clue to where to go. jack decided to just go straight until he sees another town or just place with people.
Tracking through the forest, he came up across magic beasts and slay them.

Appeared at his sight after killing a few magical beasts like pythons,wolves,bird, all which were around level 20-25
Essentially he was just grinding and grinding through the forest, but felt he absorbed so little and he actually encountered those bees that chased him!
A grin appeared at his face, he charged straight to the horde of bees, freezing his hands to break them!
…
…
Most of the bees have died while some flew away in fear.

Occupation: Forgotten Hero
His stats from previously appeared, with the only change was his level was now 30! Jack also felt way stronger then he previously was!
A month past of Jack being in the forest, he might as well have called it his home by now. It wasn’t very exciting, he just kept heading straight ,killing creatures and eating while exploring his storage ring. Though a lot of it was locked, he managed to find some clear like crystal pills!
When he got them out, a little text box appeared next to them which gave him a description of it.
The red crystal pill was called:
[blazing roar stage 1]
-[Consuming the pill will allow one to understand and learn the skill! Burn all in your path with the roar of a lion and fire of destruction! There are 5 stages to this skill, as you gain more stages, the skill becomes stronger and stronger!]
-[requirement: minimal level of 15. Must be able to use the element of fire]
The blue crystal pill was called:
[flow control martial arts-Beginner]
-[Consuming this pill allows one to understand and learn this martial arts. Learn the way of controlling your energy around your body and increase one strength,speed,defence. Flow your energy like a tide and be calm as still water.]
-[requirement:Calm mind.]
-[danger:if requirement not met, grave injury will occur and could lead to user being crippled]
The yellow crystal pill was called:
[Focus punch!]
-[Consuming this pill allows one to understand and learn this skill. Direct all your energy to your hand increasing its power many times over! Be warned, doing this will render the rest of your body to be extremely weak! Power will grow depending on user strength and How many elements they can use! Time it takes to focus energy to one point is a few minutes or shorter or longer depending on users control]
-[requirement: Any level.]
Seeing these pills description, Jack couldn’t help but feel impressed and shocked! All he had to do was consume them and he will learn these skills? Is it that easy now, to learn techniques and magic by eating them like cereals!?
He wanted to try to eat them right now! However the blazing roar skill, he could not have as his only element was ice.
Although he can’t learn that one, the other two pills, he should be able to do,though the yellow one doesn’t seem worth it since he can already focus his energy and freeze his hand to increase power.
Even though he saw no use to it, he decided to still consume it but first he consumed the blue crystal pill… surprisingly it was very easy and didn’t feel uncomfortable!
Suddenly, piles of information flooded his brain and bright light flashed before his eyes!
Next moment he knew the skill like he has been practicing this technique for years! It did not feel uncomfortable, it felt like this skill was always with him!
This technique made him way a little more sensitive to his energy then previously! His senses for it seemed to have forcefully opened up a little!
[warning: To fully integrate this skill, it will take at least a whole day, as the body and the skill must integrate, even if you now understand it, you won’t be able to use it to its potential until 24 hours pass And advise to not use skill as body may be damaged]
Seems like it does take a little time for skills to be work but who would train for years to learn it when they can just wait for a day and learn it.
This also made sense since when training a technique, your body also tries to get used to it and adjust to the changes but this is making it happen in a shorter time at once!
He gulps down the yellow pill as well! The knowledge of the skill flooded his mind once again, giving him a tingly sensation.
[warning: To fully integrate this skill, it will take a bit of time, as the body and the skill must integrate, even if you now understand it, you won’t be able to use it to its potential until at least 3 hours pass And advise to not use skill as body may be damaged]
The message appeared again but this time, the time was only 3 hours!
It seems the time it takes varies depending on the change it would cause to your body and the type of skill! He thought to himself in excitement.
Wander what else I will be able to do in this era!
