After we went through the teleporter, and I saw all of the levels of Lilith's friends, we headed in our separate ways.
Based on their levels, they were definitely heading into the mountain range, where there will be higher ranked monsters.
I could tell them where to find mass spawns of danger level 50 monsters, but that would be kind of hard.
Once you get to the post game, you need to hunt monsters that give way more experience to continue to level up, so every area has new pces to enter.
But those pces exist now. You just need to know how to solve the puzzle to open them. And I know how to open them.
For this area, the pce is called the astral tomb. It exists under one of the castles in the area. It is an expansive dungeon with a boss at the end rated for level 100 pyers. There is a few other dungeons like that one in the other area’s, total danger rating maxing out at 500, before you get to the super bosses.
With us going our separate ways, I head towards the forest. Going back to hunt goblins until I hit level 10, then I can move deeper towards stronger camps.
Before I fully start hunting though, I pour all of my points back into XP multiplier, getting it all the way to 3.5.
I then start running through the forest, trying to find more goblin camps.

“Do you really think that she is capable of hunting all day long?” Amy asked Cra.
“I have no clue. But I remember Lilith in our first year. She was insanely strong as well” Cra said back.
“But hunting for 7 hours in one day? Not even Lilith could do that in her first year” Amy said.
“Maybe she has more potential than me” Lilith said, with a huge smile.
“She was cute” Mira said, holding her staff close to her.
“Ha, I would have to agree. It's probably genetic” Kira said, leaning on their twin sister.
Mira and Kira Lightwood were identical twin sisters, who purposely looked like mirror images of each other, but they could not be more different. Mira was a shy magic user, and Kira was an outgoing knight.
“Don’t hit on my sister” Lilith said, looking right at Mira.
She blushed. “I wasn’t going to”.
“Well, then I agree” Lilith said. “She is very cute”.
They were heading deep into the mountains. Mira and Kira were the lowest level, but were still quite skilled. The two of them caught Liliths eye when they ran against each other for the css representative position in their first year, so then she befriended them.
She has been training them since then, though her ck of magic knowledge was making it hard to train Mira. She had even given them high grade equipment from a bcksmith in her grade.
“Ok, so our current goal is the temple of the archfiend” Lilith said, bringing back their attention. “It's the hardest dungeon in this area, but normal monsters only go up to around 50 in the ter floors, and since the boss has not respawned in over 20 years, it is a good pce to level up”.
“Got it” the group said.
∴
The temple of the archfiend was about a 30 minute run away from the nearest teleportation site.
And by the time the student council group made it there, they had already heard of Nyx leveling up once.
∴
*You Killed a goblin*
*You gained 21 XP*
*Level 9 -> 10*
*You gained the Critical limit*
*You gained 37 Water magic XP*
“Haa. Finally got to level 10” I said to myself. It had taken me about 4 hours to get here, but now I could move to a different area.
I also got one of the strongest abilities in the game. The limits are temporary boosts you can activate. They range from boosting strength or defense, to stopping time around you so you can attack super fast.
You mostly received these as story rewards, or from quests, but the critical one is the only level up bonus. While it is active, every attack becomes a critical hit.
Deeper into the forest was a stronger version of the camp, something called a hobgoblin camp. It's about the same as the goblin camps, just a little harder.
Hobgoblins have a danger rating of 10, but give 10xp per.
It takes me about 30 more minutes before I find the first camp. Where goblins are small green monsters, the hobgoblins are a little bigger, but they are also much more muscur. They even have some with different weapons.
I was onto wind magic with my cycle of training.
From the tree line, I fire a wind arrow right at one of the hobgoblins.
*You Killed a hobgoblin*
*You gained 35 XP*
*You gained 62 Wind magic XP*
It dies in one shot, just like the goblins. But the increased intelligence of the hobgoblins means they notice where the shot came from.
The leader quickly points towards me and the other hobgoblins pick up weapons and charge towards me.
Firing again, I hit and kill the boss hobgoblin.
*You Killed a hobgoblin*
*You gained 35 XP*
*You gained 62 Wind magic XP*
This gets the others to freak out, since they don’t have orders, making it easy to kill the st 8.
*You Killed a hobgoblin*
*You gained 35 XP*
*You gained 62 Wind magic XP*
*You Killed a hobgoblin*

I feel exhausted after this fight. I was using wind arrow instead of bolt, so I was burning much more Mp during this fight. When I was fighting yesterday, I would completely recharge my MP between camps.
But now I can’t, since I lost so much more.
Getting up to find the next camp, I decide to change to my sword until I get enough MP back.

“She hit level 10?” Cra said, seeing the message as their group took a break. “It was almost a year before we hit level 10”.
“Lilith, do you know what level she was when she came to school?” Amy asked her.
“She said 0. She never went hunting with our dad apparently” Liltih said, her hand moving to her lips. She was remembering the taste of Nyx’s blood, the power that must have been in it.
“Could she have been lying to you” El said. She had not commented on Nyx at all during the day.
“No” Lilith said.
“Well, then your sister is growing at an unbelievable rate. And since she is clearly pushing herself much harder than others, there is a good chance she is going to catch up much faster than others.” Cra said.
“Most first years don’t even make it to level 10 by the end of the year” Mira said, thinking about it.
“Yeah, we only did thanks to Lilith” Kira said, agreeing.
The group was reaching the end of their endurance for the day, but as far as they could tell, Nyx was still going strong.
∴
As it got to the point I finished up the 14th hobgoblin camp I fought today, I was getting to the point where I was too hungry to continue. We didn’t have breakfast so I hadn’t eaten all day.
I gained one more level, and was pretty sure I was close to the next one, but needed to get back for food.
I also made it to level 27 with my sword.
I decided to take my time going back to the teleportation gate for Valethrone.
To avoid thinking about other things, I thought about the original game.
The danger level of the chapter one boss in starcross adventure was around 12. Since you leveled up quite slowly, taking full hours sometimes to go up one level. Since I was gaining XP much faster then a normal person, I was already close to that level.
But if it was true what they told me, normal people only hunted for a few hours a day, I had already done about 5 days worth of hunting. I don’t know why I had this level of endurance, but I just did.
And since I also gained 3x the XP, that 5 days is more like 15ish, or what would take a student more than a month to do.
When I finally make it to the teleportation gate, I find Lilith Cra and Amy waiting there.
“You really did hunt for 7 hours” Cra said.
“I'm hungry” Is all I am able to say.
Lilith walks over to me and puts her arm on me.
“Lets go get dinner” she says, and leads me through the teleportation gate back to the academy adventures guild.
As we leave, I get a number of messages.
