Gabriel listened intently to the series of prompts and began to assess his gains one by one. He carefully distributed his stats using a specific ratio of 2-DEX, 3-INT, and 5-VIT, which he had chosen after much deliberation. He knew this distribution was essential, ensuring his VIT had the highest allocation. This was crucial because his skill [Shield] had played a significant role in the fight, and without it, he would have surely died while battling the Wolf King.
Next, he allocated his skill points towards [Light Hurricane] and [Healing Totem], increasing his healing capability and boosting his DPS, especially when his talent was activated.
After that, he converted the four cores he had collected from earlier battles and gained a whopping 9,000 Harmony Essence, including 1,000 for the core of the Moon Rabbit and 5,000 for the core of the Wind Wolf King.
Finally, he meticulously checked the stats of the Wolven Robe and equipped it. Gabriel was determined to be fully prepared for whatever challenges lay ahead, knowing that every decision he made could mean the difference between life and death.

Gabriel carefully reviewed his earlier battle and realized he had missed an opportunity to utilize his powerful skill, [Goddess Blessing], before the battle began. In hindsight, he knew that using this skill beforehand would have added a significant buff to his damage output and helped him defeat his opponent much more quickly. Unfortunately, he failed to do so and only used the skill in conjunction with his talent, which later mutated it into [Demon Curse (☯️)] from [Goddess Blessing].
Feeling slightly disappointed with his performance, Gabriel decided to take a break and rest in the valley, using the time to reflect on his strategy for the next fight. Despite his missed opportunity, he was still ranked first, with a considerable lead over Tigram, who was in second place.

In a spacious classroom outside the Mysterious Realm, the projector screen showed a figure defeating its enemy in a fierce battle. The room fell silent in awe of the display.
After a few moments of stunned silence, Principal Dalhmer spoke up. He drew attention to the young man's incredible skills and the fact that he did not show any signs of weakness in the fight. Despite being a support type, he managed to hold his ground against the Wind Wolf King without taking any damage.
The principal pointed out that the student seemed to have a unique ability to absorb the enemy's attacks, preventing his HP from decreasing. Only when the energy surrounding him was shattered did he take any damage. This revelation shocked the teachers, who were amazed at the student's abilities.
The principal admonished them to observe every detail of the fight, from the movements to the gestures, the aura, and even the clothes, as these could all contribute to a person's strength. He argued that if they forced the student to leave the Mysterious Realm, he would survive, but he would lose the chance to test himself.
The principal then revealed that he had studied the student's records and found that he was not one to rush in without a plan. He first made sure he knew all the details before engaging in battle. The teachers were left in awe of the student's skills and determination.
Gabriel, the student in question, would have been embarrassed if he had heard the principal's words. Despite his doubts, he managed to defeat a 10★- Iron Stage opponent with the help of his unique abilities.
With Principal Dalhmer's guidance, they analyzed every detail of the fight, hoping to learn from Gabriel's success.
...
As the sun began to peak, casting a bright glow over the Mysterious Realm, the sound of clashing could be heard in the distance. Somewhere beyond the rolling hills and dense forests, a fierce battle was taking place.
The sharp sound of metal striking metal echoed through the air, punctuated by the occasional thud of a weapon connecting with flesh. It was clear that this was no friendly sparring match - this was a fight for survival.
Despite the distance, the sounds of the battle were unmistakable.

Upon hearing the prompts, Gabriel carefully evaluated his current status, considering his experience points, skill points, and any items or equipment he had acquired since his last level-up. He made a strategic decision to allocate his stats in a way that reflected his desired playstyle and maximized his chances of success in his current situation. He ensured the ratio of his stats remained consistent with the same distribution he used when he last leveled up. By doing so, he ensured he continued to make steady progress towards his ultimate goal.

"Huuuh," Gabriel took a deep breath.
...
Gabriel, having left the Valley of the Wolves, embarked on another journey, choosing a random direction to travel in.
Fate brought him to a place known as the Poison Swamp, a treacherous location home to a group of 1★-Iron stage poison toads. These toads were notorious for their deadly poison that could take down even the strongest of warriors with ease. However, before the toads could cast any of their skills, Gabriel obliterated them with ease. It should also be noted that just standing around the swamp could lead to a decrease in one's HP due to the poisonous atmosphere. Thankfully for Gabriel, he possessed a unique talent that allowed him to reverse any debuffs on him. As a result, instead of reducing his HP, the poison increased it.
After exiting the Poison Swamp, Gabriel once again followed his instincts and dashed in a random direction. His journey led him to a place called the Molten Lands, a location similar to the Poison Swamp. However, instead of poison, the atmosphere was filled with fire element damage, and anyone who stood in
the area would receive a debuff called [Burning]. This debuff reduced one's HP per second while also decreasing their Physical Attack by 20%. Although this reduction did not affect Gabriel, it could still hinder others.
In the Molten Lands, Gabriel faced off against two groups of Fire Serpents, which were known to be a 2★-Iron stage. Despite the danger, he emerged victorious and gained 420 experience points as a reward.
As he prepared to move on towards the Lightning Forest, Gabriel noticed two groups of monsters, with one group having four members. He decided to check their stats before proceeding any further.
[Name: Alpha Flaming Kong]
[Health Point: 2,500/2500]
[Mana: 880/880]
[Physical Attack: 130 – 184]
[Defense: 72]
[Rank: Iron Stage ★★★★]
[Skills: Fire Punch, Charge, Double Punch, Tough Skin]
[Description: Alpha Kong, a powerful and dominant creature, tends to exhibit aggressive behavior and go on rampages when it is in heat. However, when the creature is not in heat, it displays a more subdued and calmer demeanor.]
[Name: Flaming Kong]
[Health Point: 900/900]
[Mana: 880/880]
[Physical Attack: 90 – 124]
[Defense: 60]
[Rank: Iron Stage ★★★]
[Skills: Fire Punch, Double Punch, Tough Skin]
[Description: The mighty creature known as Kong can typically be found in the vicinity of the Molten Land, a place where the ground is hot and the air is thick with the scent of sulfur. Despite the harsh conditions, Kong has a unique way of freshening up: by soaking themselves in the scorching lava that flows through the area. This ritual may seem perilous to other creatures, but for Kong, it's just another way of maintaining their strength and vigor.]
...
As Gabriel checked the stats of the monstrous creature, he realized that the Alpha Kong, which was currently rampaging, was in heat. Gabriel chuckled at the sight of the beast's primal desire to mate.
He quickly prepared and cast his skills to increase his damage output, applying a buff that raised his MAtk from 442 to 580. After waiting for 20 seconds for his skill to cool down, he activated his talent and cast his powerful [Curse Totem (☯️)] between the enemies, dealing devastating true damage of at least 1300 per second. The enemies were instantly annihilated, earning Gabriel an additional 500 exp to his experience bar.
As he made his way through the Lightning Forest, Gabriel's journey was suddenly interrupted by a pair of 4★-Iron stage Lightning Cats. Upon seeing him, they instantly attacked. Thankfully, Gabriel had already cast his [Goddess Blessing] and [Tail Wind] beforehand, allowing him to dodge their attacks or withstand them head-on.
The sound of a staff colliding with a lightning cat's claw reverberated through the entirety of the Lightning Forest. Gabriel, in the midst of it all, could feel the intense pressure of the cat's claws as they scraped against his skin.
Due to the perfect coordination of the two Lightning Cats, Gabriel decided not to use his [Light Hurricane]. Instead, he cast his powerful AOE skill [Curse Totem (☯️)], killing the pair of cats together in a single blow.
