"Not bad. Another thousand mana points and around a hundred points in each of my physical stats, and I should be able to break through to the High stage of the Condensed Core. The mana being richer here and so many monster cores I got... I reached very fast to this level."
Noah gave a satisfied nod before closing the status window floating before his eyes.
"Hah... this is nice."
After six months of relentless training, seeing his progress laid out before him always gave him a sense of accomplishment.
With a thought, the sword in his hand disappeared into his storage ring. Noah stretched his shoulders before turning toward the wooden house.
He had trained enough for now. As he stepped onto the veranda, a familiar voice reached him.
"Decided to take a break?"
"Yeah."
Noah glanced toward the source of the voice and smiled.
"I missed you, after all."
"Shut up."
Akari's response came almost immediately.
