Submerging his consciousness in meditation, he didn’t enter the heightened state of focus like he had done last time. There was virtually no change from any other time he had used the skill, despite the recent upgrade.
This was honestly a relief to Jake. In the back of his mind, he did briefly have a fear that his usual relaxing meditation would now always result in him suddenly being incredibly focused. And while focusing is good, it doesn’t exactly help the mind relax. The whole ‘losing time’-thing wasn’t very attractive either.
Satisfied that his meditation hadn’t accidentally been made worse, he began going over the long list of notifications. The system was nice as always with them, organizing them into different batches the moment the thought even occurred to him.
The first of which was of the many kills he had gotten. 124 in total, to be exact. Looking them over, it indeed was an impressive sight.
*You have slain [Steeltusk Boar – lvl 77] – Bonus experience earned for killing an enemy above your level. 114000 TP earned*
…
*You have slain [Steeltusk Boar – lvl 88] – Bonus experience earned for killing an enemy above your level. 136000 TP earned*
From most powerful to the weakest was 11 levels. A higher level difference between beasts than any of the other enemies he had encountered in dungeons. One had to consider that this one only had two types, though. One of them being the boss
It also explained why some had been harder to kill than others. 11 levels were nothing to be scoffed at.
Overall their levels were high. He found it quite insane to think that most of these Steeltusk Boars were higher than the Den Mother. Going by strength, the Badger Den’s boss was still stronger by a lot compared to all of them, but the feeling of amazement remained.
Of course, the high levels of the enemies had also corresponded to earning a nice batch of levels, boosted further by Mark of the Ambitious Hunter.
*’DING!’ Class: [Ambitious Hunter] has reached level 66 - Stat points allocated, +4 free points*

*’DING!’ Class: [Ambitious Hunter] has reached level 71 - Stat points allocated, +4 free points*
*’DING!’ Race: [Human (E)] has reached level 61 - Stat points allocated, +5 free points*
…
*’DING!’ Race: [Human (E)] has reached level 63 - Stat points allocated, +5 free points*
Feels like I am getting these windfalls more and more these days, he thought, thinking about how he only hours ago had also gotten a batch of levels in his profession.
Six levels in his class just like that. Three in his race too, which meant a total of 39 free points. He was about to place them all into agility but decided against it at the very last moment.
He still had new class skills to consider, after all.
*Ambitious Hunter class skills available*
Jake could feel his excitement as he opened the list of available skills. He was hoping for some really nice new things but was fast disappointed as he saw only two new entries - one of which was a common-rarity skill.
[Waterwalking (Common)] – A much-coveted technique for all those who are less than stellar in the art of swimming. Cover your feet in a layer of mana, allowing you to walk and run on water. Mana usage is negligible.
He didn’t exactly know what he expected. Yeah, it was the ability to walk on water, something he himself had just discovered how to do.
the skill would likely allow him to far more easily maintain it, probably even be able to fight with it actively and use other skills. But he still felt like he could learn how to do all that without too much hassle. Heck, it had been hard to
