Noah was still waiting there. He didn't want to go down yet.
But the monsters weren't coming back. So after waiting 1 more hour, he finally came down and went to find out the monsters himself.
His main target was the rabbits. The wolves still looked much more ferocious than those rabbits, even in this world.
He started walking very cautiously. After walking for 30 minutes, he finally saw a monster. But he wasn't happy about it, as the monster was a snow wolf and it saw him too.
Instantly, Noah took out both of his knives and went into his battle position.
The wolf ran toward him like the wind and jumped at him.
This time, Noah wasn't a noob like before. He had fought a rabbit hand to hand with a stone spear before and had also killed 3 more.
So his mind was much calmer than before.
He bent down his body at a 90-degree angle and the wolf just jumped over his body.
He took that chance, stabbed one of his knives into the gut of the wolf, and sliced it forward.
Instantly, the gut was cut open and blood and intestines fell onto his face.
Noah felt like vomiting as those waste products fell on him.
But he still heaved a sigh of relief. His battle sense was getting sharper and sharper.
He killed the wolf like a pro.
[Ding! You have killed a snow wolf. 25 exp is added to your panel.]
[You have leveled up.]
Noah finally leveled up to level 3.
He checked his panel.

Every stat increased by one point. Noah instantly created a long knife with his 5 points of mana.
Then he sold the carcass of the wolf for 25 coins.
Now he had 40 coins in his possession. He still needed 10 more coins.
Then he started searching again. Now he felt even stronger than before and more confident.
After 30 more minutes passed.
Noah was looking here and there to see any signs of beasts.
Then he saw 3 horned rabbits at once.
He didn't even think before he pulled his bow and shot an arrow toward one of them.
As his spirit had also increased, he felt sharper, so it was a direct kill, but the other two rabbits found the attacker.
They roared at him and charged. Noah also charged at them. He just hated those bastards.
With the long knife in his hand, he was even more confident, but he didn't have any knife skill.
Two rabbits attacked him in a synchronized manner.
This was the first time Noah was facing 2 monsters at once.
So he got in a tricky situation.
But he dodged their attacks and chopped off one of their heads instantly.
It was a move made out of urgency. He didn't think this would kill one.
As soon as he killed one, the other one got afraid, as Noah had already killed one with a bow before.
So it started running away.
But he created another arrow and shot it.
Again, a flawless kill.
He was really getting the hang of it.
[Ding! You have killed a horned rabbit. 20 exp is added to your panel.]
[Ding! You have killed a horned rabbit. 20 exp is added to your panel.]
[Ding! You have killed a horned rabbit. 20 exp is added to your panel.]
60 exp at once.
Then he sold the 3 of them for 60 coins. Now he had 100 coins.
Noah sat down and asked,
"System, how can I obtain the mana core?"
[There are some monsters that have cores in their bodies. Those cores have different attributes. If you are lucky, you can get a mana core there. You can also buy mana cores from the system. But the shop will be available only after reaching level 10.]
50 coins were deducted.
Okay! Now he knew his answer. And one final question. He had 50 coins more.
"Where is the Earth civilization?"
[It is 5000 km north from here.]
Again, 50 coins were gone.
5000 km? This system never wanted him to leave this forest, right?
So he thought that he would start his journey toward the north and kill on the way to get stronger and accumulate coins. So that he could buy a mana core from the system.
And if he could get mana cores from the killing, that would be best.
Now Noah wanted to take some rest, eat some food, and start walking toward the north.
First, he created some warm clothes. Then he sat under a tree and started waiting to recharge his mana again.
Then he made some cooked meat and started eating.
This meat tasted way better than the original version.
After finishing his meal, Noah started walking again.
He would kill some rabbits and wolves on the way.
After 6 hours of walking, Noah finally felt he had left the territory of the wolves and rabbits.
Now he didn't know what was waiting ahead.
He also leveled up once more.

Though he killed many beasts on the way, there wasn't a single core, let alone a mana core.
Maybe some special types of beasts produced them or higher-quality beasts.
Noah then climbed up a large tree and created a blanket. There wasn't any cave nearby and he didn't know which monsters were occupying this territory.
He would rather sleep on the tree than take any risks.
Noah was also going to plan for his next move. His creation talent was literally a cheat.
All he needed was mana. So he thought, could he create a mana core? Then wouldn't it become an infinite loop?
Damn!
So he tried to visualize the mana core, but nope.
Nothing came into his mind.
Noah thought, "I will just have to wait until I reach level 10. Then I will buy a core and then I will try to create one. Who knows? Maybe I'll be successful."
Then he went to sleep.
