Aisaac crashed to the ground.
He sat up with a groan before he looked around at where he was, seeing only trees and bushes plus the roars of beasts, Aisaac knew he was in the forest but he did not know which one. Even the map had no use since it could not show his location.
"I just have to make sure I survive my way towards the exit..." Aisaac muttered to himself as he took out two daggers from his inventory and held them in his hands before advancing in a random direction.
Unknown to him, he was walking towards the inner area of the valley.
Meanwhile, back at Grixia Kingdom, the royal palace.
The Queen sat in her study as she looked through some scrolls, then there was a knock.
"Come in" she said without looking up from the scroll.
The door opened as Devon walked in.
"The saintess would arrive in about 1 day and..." Devon paused.
The Queen looked up from her scroll and stared at Devon who sighed.
"She asked for Aisaac..."
Hearing this, the queen did not say anything, she stood up from her chair and walked towards the window and stared out. This surprised Devon, who immediately realized something.
"You knew she would realise there was an extra summon"
" Yes, I did, that was why instead of keeping him confined I allowed him go..." The Queen turned to look at Devon, "... I'm sure you know the temple has been looking for otherworlders to cultivate as templars, Aisaac would have been a perfect candidate"
Devon nodded, "Because he is an extra and he awakened an ordinary gift"
" Who said he awoke an ordinary gift?"
Devon looked at the Queen in confusion.
"The gift of adaptation is a skil which is more broken than any other gift if utilized well, just so you know, there are no ordinary gift only ordinary holders" the Queen said.
" You mean?" Devon muttered.
The Queen nodded, "Aisaac's gift is no less than Stefan's Sword of destiny, one depends on his accomplishments while the other grows as long as he adapts"
Back at the valley,
Aisaac his behind a tree as he held his breath, his hands clasped around his two daggers tightly, he peeked behind the tree at a demon beast resting under a tree some distance away.
[Name: Porcupine Lynx]
[Demon beast]
[Rank: 2]
"Damn!!!" Aisaac cursed inwardly before trying to tiptoe away only to step on a twig which alerted the porcupine lynx.
The demon beast sat up and looked in Aisaac's direction, a glint flashed through it's eyes as it saw the human who stood frozen while looking at it.
"RAAAAWWWRR!!!"
No one needed to tell Aisaac to run before he did, as he ran he swore to himself that if he ever survives and leaves the valley, if he meets Stefan, Freya, Morgan and Lexus, he would make them experience hell.
Unknown to him, his gift was already at work as he maneuvered branches bushed, fallen trees, most of the cuts he was receiving were healing.
Aisaac ducked as claws swiped through were his head was but he was not still safe as the shockwave from the swipe hit and sent him crashing forward into a tree. Aisaac immediately stood up and faced the lynx who paced towards him slowly while eyeing him with a playful glint.
"I rather die fighting than die running" Aisaac said to himself as he glared at the beast.
"Huh, what's this?"
He noticed that as the demon beast advances towards him, he could read it's movement though subtlely and he knows where to attack and how to use his environment to his advantage.
[Gift: Adaptation (the body and mind instinctively adjust to threats, environment and challenges. Growth occurs through endurance and exposure to danger)]
...
[Gift based skills]
Environmental Adaptation: Automatically adjusts body and mind to survive toxins, extreme temperatures, and hazards.
Instinctive Combat: Improvises weapons and tactics based on surroundings and enemy behavior.
Survivalist: Can locate food, water, and safe shelter even in hostile terr
ain.
...
As soon as he saw his skills, Aisaac was stunned.
"Isn't this way to broken?..."
His surprise was cut short as he felt danger which allowed him to focus, the lynx jaws were already before him, he jumped away but not without the jaws leaving a deep scratch in his body.
"Ugh.." Aisaac groaned as he crashed and tumbled away from the lynx. He knelt down as he gasped with bated breath, looking down at himself, the lynx's jaws had dig in deep, he could see his rib muscles which were slowly closing up.
For the first time, Aisaac appreciated the fact that he awoke this gift.
"Guess the saying about there being no useless gifts, only useless wielder's being true"
Aisaac cleaned the blood by his moth with the back of his hand, he picked up his daggers and took a fighting stance and watched the lynx as it prowled towards him.
Noticing his defiance, the lynx growled and lunged towards him.
Aisaac hardened his resolve as he ran beneath the lynx, raising his daggers, he stabbed out multiple times before running out from under and the lynx crashed to the other side.
[You have learnt the skill: Stab]
Ignoring the notification before him, Aisaac stared at the lynx who was looking at him with anger, it's original red eyes turning a deeper shade.
Aisaac could see that his stabs had dealt a lot of damage, the lynx growled at him before the furs on it's body stood up and became spikes.
"Sh*t..." With a curse, Aisaac immediately jumped back and hid behind a tree as his previous location was already filled with spikes. The lynx shot the spikes at the tree he had hid behind before it collapsed, but Aisaac was no longer there.
This confused the demon beast before it began to peer around. It's furs had already relaxed, just then it looked up at the bark of the tree just beside fallen tree. As soon as it looked, an arrow plunged into left eye.
"RRAAAAAWWWWRRRGGGHHH" The lynx growled and began to crash around.
Aisaac returned the bow and arrows into his inventory and pulled out his daggers again, he walked towards the raging lynx and he saw an opportunity, he lunged forward onto the face of the beast and plunged his daggers into the other eye.
"AAAAAWWWWGGGGGHHHH"
With a growl, the lynx charged forwards, Aisaac still on its face as he stabbed the eye continuously, blood splashing against his face, he looked like a madman. He looked behind him and noticed that, the lynx was running towards the end of a cliff.
With a sharp glint, Aisaac turned back to the lynx and increased his stabbing.

"What is the use of I am going to die?"
Aisaac muttered to himself as his adrenaline rush calmed down and fatigue came before his consciousness fell into oblivion.
Just then a screen appeared before him.
