Chapter 235: Magical abilities
Jake had just finished a tough fight with Dim and he was currently resting while trying to view his new magical attributes and what they were.
"That was tiring." Jake said. "Now time to check my rewards and see the magical abilities I gained." Jake smiled while rubbing his hands greedily.
Before doing anything else, Jake pulled up his Status Screen.

These were Jake's new stats after leveling up and he was totally impressed and couldn't stop grinning widely. Not only did his total HP bar increase, his stats didn't have any restrictions on them and he could continue growing his strength.
Currently his stats were pretty even out and Jake couldn't help but pity his future enemies especially with his equipment too, Jake was pretty much stronger than anybody except for the Big three and the top 2 independent Guilds.
"But the total XP bar to the next level up is quite huge. It will take some months I guess to level up except I get an instant level up quest." Jake said feeling dejected until he decided to check his magical attribute with a smile on his face.
<Magical Abilities>
<Magical points: 30/30>
"Uhm Zee, why does this attribute have a magical point stuff?" Jake asked.
"That will signify how much power you have and how long you can use your abilities for. For example, a certain skill will take a certain amount of points to use for a specific time." Zee explained.
"Okay, I understand that." Jake said as he went on to the next tab.
<Ability Tab>
<Blink (LV1): This allows the user to teleport away for a distance of one metre only twice; Cool down:(2hr)>
<Lightning(LV1): This skill allows the user to create lightning strikes from their hands that could paralyze the opponent and also electrocute them. This ability cost a total of 5 points per hour to use.>
Jake after seeing the abilities was technically grinning from ear to ear at this and then he burst into a maniacal laugh.
"Hahaha! This is so dope! I can use the lightning attribute for just 5 points per hour which is meager considering I have 30 points in total." Jake said still looking at the abilities over and over again.
"And this blink, it would help me evade any dangerous attack. I could use it twice, the first to get away from the attack, the second to strike back. It's almost similar to Step Shift but will be much more powerful the more it levels up. I could practically teleport to a far away place." Jake laughed loudly.
"That will be helpful indeed. Imagine teleporting into the enemies base and taking them out before they could react and the teleporting out again without leaving a trace." Zee added.
"That will be deadly indeed." Jake smirked.
"I think that is enough for now, I need to get back to the others and also add these crystals to my adventurer System and then, get ready for the meeting." Jake said as he stood up and activated the portable telepoter button and then he stepped through it.
The portal zapped loudly and then closed behind Jake. After a few seconds, Jake was on the other side; he was back in the human world and he was currently in the Raven city Guildhall.
"Today was exhausting." Jake said as he stepped out of the teleport room and was in the hallway of the Guildhall. Then he took a straight part and he was now in the main guildhall and he could see all the adventurers there happily chatting away.
Looking around, his eyes met with the grumpy man and immediately their eyes met, the man shivered under Jake's gaze and was practically trembling in fear as beads of sweat was now dripping down his forehead.
Jake briskly walked towards the man and he almost made a break for it seeing Jake heading his way.
'He wouldn't do anything in front of all these adventurers right? Did those C rank adventurers tell him I was the informant? I saw Dim's corpse and the condition of the others. What if he silences me?' The man thought as he was now shaking like a fish out of water.
"Hi, I'm here to input these crystals into my adventurer System." Jake said as he handed the man the crystals.
Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire
"What… what?" The man asked as he felt like he was hearing things.
"I said I want to input these crystals into my adventurer system." Jake repeated himself again with a frown.
'I'm saved? But how? Did they not snitch on me?' The man thought while heaving a sigh of relief.
"Let me do that now." The man said as he took the crystals off Jake's hand and got to work.
While Jake was waiting, he heard some familiar voices coming from behind him and he turned around to look at who they were.
"Peter?" Jake said as he could see Peter and Berg helping Alex to walk while Steve and Helen were walking behind them.
"Here is your…" The man was about to say when he laid eyes on the people walking over while he stuttered.
'Damn it! Who are these people? They also survived and attack from Jacko? But how?' The man thought then he saw the young mysterious man in front of him walk up to those that were heading his way.
"Alex? How are you all in this condition?" Jake questioned.
'He knows them? That means there is something going on here but what?' The man thought.
"We will explain when we get to somewhere private so let's go." Helen said.
"Sure." Jake said as he quickly went back to the counter and snatched the crystals out of the man's hand while thanking him and they all left the Guildhall.

Meanwhile, in a huge mansion with so many stories and men standing around, a man could be seen in a throne like chair while two men were on their knees giving a report.
"So that is what happened sir." The second man finished giving the report.
"So you mean Dim was killed by a mysterious stranger after they got in a fight?" The man sitting on the throne like chair asked.
"Ye.. yes sir." The second man replied while breaking out in a sweat.
That was when the door to the room was swung wide open and an adventurer was seen walking in hurriedly with panic evident on his face.
"I'm sorry for disrupting your meeting sir, but I have an urgent news to deliver." The adventurer said.
"What urgent news do you have that can't wait?"
The adventurer gulped loudly in fear before replying. "Sir, we just got news that Jacko was found dead on an orange portal after he was sent after the female that was supposed to be Helen Rave and a few men."
"What!?!!! What the hell!?!" The man shouted as he sprung out of his chair in shock.
"How did Dim and Jacko just die on the same day and time? Jacko was a strong B rank adventurer and Dim was a strong C rank adventurer. I was sure that whoever they went up against, as long as they weren't an A rank adventurer or higher, they would be able to pull through."
"So how the hell did they just die? I want you to find who the hell did this and bring their heads to me right away!"
"Blip left this city to me in my care and I won't let some strangers destroy it. If it means me going out on the field, I will go and I will make sure they regret ever been born."
