I Reincarnated As A Stick Chapter 5: Rolling Even Faster

Although the Lesser Experience Haven was still far away from Aurus, he would usually this time where he was rolling towards a place to think about possible plans in the future or possible evolutions he could obtain. Since he had a lot of time on his hands now that he was reincarnated as a stick and had to work from the ground up, why not use it for some time to imagine?

"At the current rate I'm moving, it would take 4 hours for [Roll+] to level up, then 7 hours, then 10 hours, then 14 hours," Aurus started to calculate the amount of time it would take for him to reach the maximum level of [Roll+] and it definitely broke his belief that he would be able to reach the Lesser Experience Haven within a day. "It seems I've overestimated the passive skill."

[Blessing of the Reincarnation Goddess]. It was truly a passive skill fitting of the name. It allowed to recall all of his memories from his previous life and apply them in his current life. Not only that, but it also increased Aurus' experience gain in everything by 50%. How could he not overestimate it?

Anyways, he didn't think too much further and spent his time looking around his surroundings since at his current speed, it would now constantly change unlike before the skill evolution.

Hello there, Heavenly Body Hebo here. It seems that the Creator wants me to go back to his dimension and leave Aurus be. I don't know why he wants to do this but I saw a glimpse of another body beside him that looked exactly like me?

I-Is the Creator possibly thinking of replacing me Hebo with another Heavenly Body? Man, this is definitely unexpected. I want to witness Aurus' growth to becoming a—it seems I've spoken too much.

Eh? Wait...the Heavenly Body is moving somewhere else? The Creator didn't assign him to Aurus? Phew, that's a relief.

But seriously though, why did he recall me?

"Ah, Hebo. You're back," the Creator looked me and gave a warm smile.

It feels like bliss whenever I look at the Creator's face. But I still want to know why he wanted me to go back?

"Why did you call me back Creator? Didn't you tell me to look over Aurus?" I asked.

The Creator looked at me for a bit before writing a few words on the thick book he was holding.

"I assign someone else with more power to look over Aurus. And I chose an ironic person to do that," the Creator smiled as he laughed in a wicked manner. Now this...I feel like something wrong is gonna happen.

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, a chilly breeze blew through Kurohana's space. It was weird though since the space was fully sealed, not letting any wind pass through.

Kurohana couldn't help but shiver as a thought suddenly flashed in her mind. She formed a chair out of the white material that made the walls of her space and sat on it as a crystal orb appeared in front of her.

She then channeled her deity energy into the orb as a live image formed within her orb. The image formed was of a stick that was moving as if it was one with the wind. Indeed, Kurohana was looking at Aurus.

"Oh? He has evolved the [Roll+] skill already? Well that's to be expected," Kurohana gave a light smile. "With the blessing I gave to him, he would progress faster and faster."

At this point in time, Kurohana couldn't help but give an evil laugh. "Once he matures to a certain point, hehehehe."

"He shall become the catalyst for my Transcendent Deity Weapon. The Archaic Soul Wood. He shall become that wood."

4 hours have passed since Aurus evolved [Roll] into [Roll+].

Ding!

'[Roll+] has leveled up.'

At this point in time, Aurus' rate of movement has been increased by 5 meters per hour, thus bringing the total to 15 meters per hour. If one could notice, evolving skills would also lead to greater increases between levels. Just like how [Roll] gave an increase of 2 meters per hour per level while [Roll+] gave an increase of 5 meters per hour per level.

Aurus look at the triangle at the top of his body and saw that there was a definite change now. There was only 696 meters left between him and the Lesser Experience Haven.

Using math, he deduced that the distance between him and the Lesser Experience Haven would be reduced by 100 or so meters once the skill leveled up again.

"Move onward! Towards the Lesser Experience Haven!" Auris tried to motivate himself, only to fail in the process.

7 hours have passed. In total, it has already been 15 hours ever since Aurus was reborn as a stick.

Ding!

'[Roll+] has leveled up.'

Now, Aurus was halfway from maxing the [Roll+] skill and evolving it into a higher grade of skill. He then checked the triangle on top of his body and was surprised that his deduction was correct. There was only a distance of 591 meters between him and the Lesser Experience Haven left.

For some reason, Aurus couldn't help but sigh. "Although I've gotten used to waiting long times between level ups at the game, I just can't help but want my Transcendent skills back."

As he pondered for a bit, Aurus shook his nonexistent head. "Wait. Why limit myself to Transcendent skills if I can achieve Divine skills in the future?"

With this, Aurus gained a bit of motivation as he continued to roll towards the designated place.

Mortal, Transcendent, Divine. These three tiers are always visible in everything. For skills, they have a lot of differences.

Mortal skills are skills that almost every species can obtain. They range from a grade of C to X, same with the Transcendent and Divine skills. [Roll] is a good example of a Mortal skill. These skills act as a foundation for the next tier of skills that are also known as Transcendent skills.

Transcendent skills, from the word itself, it transcends mortal limits, allowing mortals to do the impossible. The skill that Aurus wants so much, [Hover], is actually a Transcendent skill. Sometimes Transcendent skills can go beyond their limits and exert a force that is said to be only doable by deities. These skills are Divine skills.

Although Divine skills are extremely strong, a lot of the strong people in Erudinia have at least one of those skills, saved as a trump card.

10 hours have passed.

Ding!

'[Roll+] has leveled up.'

At this exact moment, Aurus noticed that he has already been reborn for a day already. Although he only rolled for most of this time, he couldn't deny that he has already existed for a day.

Looking at the triangle, he was surprised to see that the distance between him and the place was only 395 meters. Not wasting time, he continued to roll.

13 hours have passed.

It was currently night time in the world of Erudinia. But for Aurus who had [Soul Perception I], he didn't care if it was night or day since he could still see clearly.

At this moment though, Aurus could see that the shadows of the place he wanted to go could now be seen. As he looked at the triangle on top of his body, only 70 meters remained between him and the place.

He would usually use this chance to continue rolling, but he couldn't really do that at the moment.

Why?

Ding!

'[Roll+] has leveled up.'

'[Roll+] has reached the MAX level.'

'[Roll+] has met the requirements and is now ready to evolve.'
