The image of Anna controlling a dense flock of crows made a big impression on me, but that all vanished when she said she found people nearby.

It was unclear how far they were from us at this point.

I waited for her to continue, staring at her.

"After using the summoning skill stone, I learned a skill called shadow summoning, which allows me to summon creatures from a place called shadow world, but that's not where I'm getting at," she explained.

"What I'm trying to say is that after summoning my first creature, which happened to be a scouting creature, I took advantage of the opportunity given to me when I saw you were doing okay through the eyes of the crow and scouted the surroundings to gather information or at the very least see the situation of the surroundings," she said this with her having a strange expression on her face in the latter part of her speech.

I asked her a question because I was curious as to why she would make that expression.

"What did you see when you scouted the area?" I inquired.

She paused for a moment before responding, saying;

"If I had to use something to describe what I saw, it's better to say that the world we knew before, like the locations and everything else, has changed and everything we thought we knew is now completely useless," she said.

I could see where she was coming from after hearing what she said.

'Looks like the full marks I got in geography are now useless,' I thought as I considered the part where I should have perhaps learned more about cooking.

"Are you saying that locations all over the world have been swapped, destroyed, or changed and that we can't really rely on our past knowledge?" I asked, and she responded with a nod.

Well, it's not like I hadn't considered this from the start, so I instead waited for her to continue speaking.

"Aside from that, I discovered that there are people a little further away from us," she said as I motioned for her to lead the way without speaking, which she agreed to do.

Perhaps she had planned to do so before.

As I followed her as she led the way, I remembered she said she knew something I might be interested in, so I asked if it was the people she had seen before.

"Oh yes, I wanted to tell you something I noticed about my skill," she said, and I was curious what she meant because it was about a skill that could use 'mana.'

"I'm not sure if it only applies to Epic skills, but I believe skills can evolve," she stated.

Hearing what she said really opened up new questions for me, but it was unfortunate that I didn't have anyone to answer them.

"Let's see if the people around us first and find a safe place to rest before we talk about this again," I suggested, to which she nodded in response.

I followed Anna slowly, calling out the Primordial Chronicle in my head as I checked my status.

[Status],

[Name: Ace Blaze],

[Age: 17],

[Race: Human [Homo sapiens]],

[Level: 3[+]],

[Job: None],

[Store: Locked],

[Title: None],

I just wanted to see if there was any change to my status when I called out to the Primordial Chronicles, and to my surprise, there was.

But now that I think about it, it's kind of expected because the + sign only appears when I have enough primordial records to level up, and it's not surprising given that I did kill 12 monsters on my own.

'I wonder how many times I'll level up with the primordial records I've accumulated,' I thought as I activated the + sign on my status.

[You have leveled up to level 4],

When I saw this notification on the panel and checked my status again, I found that the + sign was still there, so I kept activating it until I couldn't see it anymore.

[You have leveled up to level 5],

[You have leveled up to level 6],

I could only level up three times with the primordial records I had accumulated previously, but I was content because I was at least twice as strong than when I was at level three.

I also noticed an increase in my mana, which I later realized was the energy that was being drawn out of me whenever I used the spell gem.

Speaking of spell gem, I should have enough mana now to make arrows.

Anna looked at me with a curious expression on her face as I brought the hunter recurve bow and quiver from my storage ring. I told her I just wanted to make arrows for my bow but she ignored me and concentrated on what I assumed was scouting.

After making new arrows, I nocked an arrow on my bow to be ready for anything, including an unexpected surprise, just in case.

Just as I was wondering how much longer it would be before we saw the people she saw, Anna finally spoke after a long silence, saying;

"We're there," she said as we tried our best not to be noticed while observing the humans we saw in front of us.
