Becoming an adventurer by copying monster abilities

In an instant, endless flames blurred Luke's vision.

When my vision returned, the surroundings were completely quiet.

[Gained Specialization: Ember]

[Ember: All attributes +1, Fire resistance +20%]

Strength +1, Agility +1, Constitution +1, Intelligence +1, Perception +1, Charisma +1

The semi-transparent information that suddenly appeared before Luke's eyes made him slightly lost in thought.

As he got up from the ground, all the goblins and ogres around him had vanished.

Only clumps of white ash remained on the ground.

Even the dirtiest things will become clean and pure white under the baptism of flames.

The projection of the "Ash Lord" burned everything and purified everything.

The arrow in Luke's shoulder, along with all the wounds all over his body, disappeared.

Of course, his clothes also evaporated along with them.

At this moment, he was standing naked beside the cave entrance.

Her clean skin seemed to radiate a luminous white glow under the sunlight.

"A miracle...or a fantasy?"

Luke recalled the scene from earlier and wanted to try starting it again.

However, it was discovered that the [Miracle Fantasy] talent in the talent section of the panel had turned gray and black again.

Is there a cooldown period?

Luke didn't think for long before turning around and walking back into the cave.

There was no time to grieve for the fallen teammates; next up was the loot collection phase.

It wasn't that he was greedy; it was just that being unarmed made it far too dangerous for him to leave Sunset Forest.

Moreover, this hunting trip had drained all his savings.

Going back empty-handed like this, I'm afraid I'll be starving to death soon.

Upon entering the cave, perhaps due to the overall improvement in his attributes, Luca felt incredibly light.

Whether it's muscle control, explosive power, or endurance, everything is much better than before.

Even their eyesight improved, allowing them to see more clearly in the dark caves than before.

The first thing that caught the eye was the corpse of Captain Sutton.

This elderly hunter, who would stop at nothing to survive, eventually died.

His head was smashed into a puddle of mud and plastered on the cave wall.

Luke stripped the other man of his still-intact clothes: a shirt and trousers made of coarse linen, and a leather overcoat.

In addition, Luke also collected the dagger at Sutton's waist, some loose silver and copper coins in his pocket, and several goblin ears.

It's a pity that the longbow, which seemed to have some value, was broken by the ogre.

Peggy looked utterly wretched, cut in half by the cannibal and soaking in a pool of blood.

The arrow in Luke's knees confirmed that his earlier warning was correct.

Upon reaching the deepest part of the cave, the lit torches were left on the ground, not yet completely burned out.

Luke approached and picked it up, arriving at the side of "Half of Torin" and taking the double-edged axe left behind by the other.

This axe is of very good quality and was one of Luke's main objectives upon his return from this trip.

Whenever Tolin had free time, besides chattering incessantly, he would sit there constantly wiping and maintaining his double-edged axe.

After collecting all the belongings of his former teammates, Luke took a torch and circled the bottom of the cave.

Only then did they notice that there was a "side room" next to it.

The light was too dim at the time, so they didn't notice it immediately.

It seems that the ogre was in the side room when it suddenly rushed out and attacked everyone.

Approaching the side room, one sees a jumble of human and animal skeletons, along with some rusted and broken equipment, scattered haphazardly on the floor.

Luke wasn't very concerned; his attention was entirely focused on a broken wooden box by the wall.

He had heard his teammates say more than once that goblin lairs often contained "treasures" that they had scavenged.

That's what he came looking for!

A tattered helmet, rusted horseshoes, a smooth skull, and a pile of colorful pebbles...

Luke opened the wooden box and fell silent.

Is this a treasure trove or a junkyard?

After turning the box upside down, I finally found something.

Luke found a beautifully crafted velvet purse containing 20 gleaming gold coins.

One gold coin is equal to ten silver coins.

One silver coin is equal to 100 copper coins.

This bag of gold coins is equivalent to the left ears of a hundred goblins!

They continued searching the side room for a while, making sure nothing was missed.

Luke packed his belongings and began his journey home.

...

Twilight Town is an ordinary town located in the northeastern part of the continent of Rildran.

Located inland, it cannot develop a port economy.

There are many mountain roads and transportation is not well developed.

Normally, this is a typical "place where military strategists would not contest".

But as the saying goes, those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water.

The town's unique advantage lies in its proximity to the Sunset Forest.

This vast and mysterious region holds countless wonders and treasures.

Some have found the ruins of an ancient kingdom here, while others have discovered an underground city filled with treasures.

Various captivating legends have attracted countless adventurers to explore this place.

Even low-level adventurers can live a fairly comfortable life by taking on hunting quests on the outskirts of the forest.

This is an adventurer's paradise.

When Luke returned to the town, it was already late at night.

With the help of the old map in Sutton's pocket and some memories of the journey, he managed to end his adventure "without major incidents".

Twilight Town is far more bustling than ordinary small towns, especially at night.

Many buildings were still brightly lit at this time.

Most of them are places that provide entertainment for adventurers.

For example, taverns, gambling dens, and brothels.

The Adventurers' Guild was closed, so Luke decided to find a place to rest for the night.

After walking along the street for a while, we stopped in front of a tavern called "Old Oak Barrel".

The old oak door was half-open, and bright orange light shone through from inside.

Tolin had recommended this tavern to him more than once.

Not only does it offer reasonably priced food and lodging, but its signature drink, "Black Wheat Waves," is also very popular among adventurers.

Luke could now be considered "quite wealthy," and after a moment's thought, he pushed open the door and went inside.

Even though it was late at night, the place was still very lively.

There were groups of young people, like Luke, who had just finished their adventures. They sat together, raising their glasses and chatting.

There were also two tables of long-bearded dwarves who were already flushed from drinking, yet were still gulping down large mouthfuls of ale.

Luke looked down at the table under the pot-bellied dwarf, wondering if the man had square toes, but unfortunately, his boots blocked the view.

In the center of the tavern, a small platform was set up.

A bard with a mustache was stroking a wooden lute that had developed a patina and was now shiny, playing a piece he had just composed.

It sounded rather harsh and drew boos from those around.

This place is a haven created for adventurers whose nerves have been stretched thin all day.

The owner of "Old Oak Barrels" is a middle-aged man who looks very friendly and amiable.

Seeing Luke's travel-worn appearance, the astute man asked if he needed lodging and food.

Accommodation costs one silver coin per night, and includes free hot water and oil lamps.

For food, they recommended the same set meal that cost one silver coin.

The meal includes a plate of grilled meat, a bowl of soup, two thick slices of bread, and a small cup of "Black Wheat Waves," with room service available.

Luke readily agreed.
