The second Ryu opened his eyes, he was greeted by a company of nine slimes. These slimes however are different in colour than what he had expected. For the screen only displayed a black and white colour in heaven.

"A black slime?" asked Ryu as he sensed the dangerous presence the slime is emitting.

Escorting this Black Slime however are different, Red Slimes.

Ryu had already experienced the trouble of fighting these type of slimes.

"Not that shit again" Ryu, still in the barrier was showing a calm look, but inside he is really panicking.

The reason he despises red slimes is because of his first battle with it.

Before when Ryu was travelling, he encountered one of these slimes. The moment his skin touched the body of the slime, he already felt the acidity and the pain of just having contact with it.

This burned a part of Ryu's leg and the pain had slightly traumatised him.

Luckily, Demons possess a slight regenerative ability which is somehow not a skill, but part of their body processes. This helped in treating our Demon's wounds and scratches when he was travelling the forest.

"I guess I have to take the risk and run there huh?" Ryu already had a trump card for this situation however. But the risk of doing it is high and might prove to be fatal.

[Barrier Ending in 5...4...3...2...1...Opened]

The second Ryu heard this he jolted his body to try and dodge the incoming slimes.

PSHH

A red slime had hit his left hand and had almost melted his index finger.

"Fuck!!!! That hurts you little shit!!!" Ryu cursed at the slime, but that won't really help him i this situation.

"I'll leave it to my regeneration, First I need to get there. " Ryu's regeneration can fix this wound in about three hours so he was confident on that part.

Ryu ran as fast as he can to the place he was headed to. Somehow ignoring the pain due to the adrenaline, and it also made him run very fast.

" They're catching up?! But they're slimes!"

When the Demon looked back he saw that the slimes are also very fast, this confused the little game knowledge he had about slimes. He also thought of climbing a tree, but slimes are sticky, and they can control how acidic their body is depending on the situation they need.

"It's there!" shouted Ryu as he ran towards a field with yellow smoke releasing from the ground.

Sulfur

This yellow gas, coming from holes in the ground, is Ryu's trump card.

Ryu tried to get more distance from the slimes to get to the other side first.

[Skill: 'Fast Feet' Acquired]

" Just the skill I need! Wish it could arrive sooner though"

Ryu felt that his movement became faster and looked back again. There were only five slimes persuing him now, the others might have given up.

As Ryu reached the other side of the field and had made sure he was in a safe distance, he pulled out a fire stone from his storage.

"Darkness darker than black and darker than dark, damn it. This will make the slimes catch up, I was kinda hoping the do a chant from an anime I watched. "

Ryu had stopped his made up chant at the sight of the slimes advancing forward.

Ryu held the stone in his hand, whilst his other hand is covering his eye. He threw the stone and shouted at the slimes.

"Explosion!"

The fire stone combusted near the gas and had made a chain reaction. A big explosion occurred, wiping out the slimes that are in pursuit of Ryu.

A big shockwave swept the forest and had made the surrounding trees slightly bend. This also moved Ryu's feet from the ground. Luckily no trees caught fire and had caused a forest fire.

"I guess that's a job well done for me" said the Demon as his legs collapsed on the ground due to the used up adrenaline.

Ryu was too tired to process all these information. So he climbed a tree began to rest there, so he took short nap.

[Demon - Ryu] [Level 10]

[Class: None] [Power: 173]

"New information is shown huh?" When Ryu woke up he immidiately noticed the change on his [Appraisal] skill.

" Power seems to be new as well, won't this make judging my opponent easier?"

Ryu showed a smile as he got something he can take advantage off from [Appraisal].

"[Heavy Blow]" after checking out his new [Appraisal] features, Ryu then tried out his maxed skill.

" So the colour of the aura changed into purple and it definitely feels heavier than before"

The short sword Ryu wielded became covered by a light purple aura. This made the weight of the sword heavier but he can feel the power that can be released by the sword.

" Next up is study time! [Divine Storage]!"

Ryu opened his storage and took out the papers Alice had given to him. He also noticed a silver ring inside his storage. A note was tied to it saying that it also came from Alice.

(To Ryu: Hi again, I had hoped you have survived the slime attack that was attracted from the barrier's Mana, so for the trouble I'll give you a little present .

This is a magic ring that can help you in regenerating Mana. It has [Mana Regeneration Enchantment] in it so that you can practice your magic a lot. This is actually pretty expensive even for rich people in this world so try not get it stolen, bye!)

" A magic ring she says? This will greatly help me in my magic practice!" Ryu cheerfully placed the ring on his ring finger by his left hand and began to study the papers given to him.

The notes Alice gave to him contained a short guide on Magic operation and some Fire type spells for Ryu to study.

Included in this spells are [Firebolt] [Flame Control] [Flame Absorption] and [Flame Spear]

These spells ranged from the basic spells to the average spells whilst the [Flame Absorption] is an intermidiate spell.

Ryu read the notes for about an hour, showing excitement at the magic he was about to cast.

It was rare for Ryu to be happy about something, so this was a very great experience for him. Thankfully Alice knows this so she always try to cheer Ryu up, for she knows what things he had gone through in his mortal life on Earth.

He prepared a dummy using the surrounding branches and placed it near the campsite where it was illuminated by the fire.

" So first I need to make my internal Mana flow to my hands" Ryu perceived the Mana and indeed it was flowing properly on his body. He also didn't see anything strange in the surrounding Mana, indicating that he is doing the right job.

Ryu then imagined in his mind a spear, that is one meter in length, made up of flames. This spear is consist of nothing but fire.

" [Fire Spear]!" just as he said the spell name, a spear of flames that is one meter in length appeared at the palm of his left hand. Amazingly he didn't felt any pain nor damage from the spell.

He then thew the spear at the dummy, creating an explosion on impact and scorching the branches.

Ryu smiled at his perfectly cast spell of fire and did the same thing with the other spells.

" I guess I won't be sleeping tonight"

Ryu didn't actually sleep that night, but instead he practiced Magic till his Mana ran out. He rested for 30 minutes every time his Mana ran out, and continuing his practice as the night goes on.

INFORMATION:

-The level of a spell is directly proportional to the level of the 'Mastery' skill of that type. For example a wizard with [Fire Mastery 5] can shoot out [Firebolt LVL 5].

- The Class System is usually received by everyone. But this is different in Ryu's case because he received [Administrator Permission] an error that wasn't supposed to happen.

-A Class will greatly affect how an individual develops such as the skills gained from leveling and the stats they get. Most people can only have one class, but powerful individuals can have two.
