After he left the nano-universe of Nul, Timothy had woken up with an improved quality of mana. Level five to be exact, otherwise known as Good Quality Mana!

  Since ‘good’ was in its im felt pretty excited about it, because he could finally pose a threat against the on dangers of this universe. The micro-universe of Valporovus was not for the weak, and he was sick of either running, or depending on others for help, so level five did him good.

  Two weeks ter, however, he was at level six (dense, iron mana), which was eveer! Him and the team didn't have to use their mana all that much these days, and since Valporovus naturally enced faster mana-regeion, progress was only iable! Nothing was holding them back, the rest of the team had the same amount of luck as he did.

  To further increase their progress, they made up their minds to start a jourowards the ruins of Aqumus! These ruins supposedly promised more mana per hour than any other p the realm, up to four more times as some shamans cimed, but it could be even more than that. Going there was a must!

  If the team made it to those ruins in one piece, then they may likely bee godly! At the very least, they'd escape the god’s punishment realm of mana, and that was enough of a reward on its own.

  Anyway, although getting there would be ideal, it was not an easy jourhe ruins were about four-hundred kilometers away from Arvena's hometown, it was not close by. It would take weeks to get there, because the enviroal factors of this universe, for example, were one of the main things that would slow them down.

  There were mountains in front of them, a couple of thick forests too, so thick that one would fuse them with jungles! Now the issue with this was that the team could travel fifteen kilometers in one day, and then as little as three kilometers the other day, so this part of their journey urely uable, and there weren't any ways to work around it, no cheap ways at least.

  It also didn't help that they were tiny goblins, that was another burdening factor. The team had ged into normal Degranus Goblins weeks ago, but apart from having them breathe air, ging bato this species did not aid their journey all that much. Their steps were simply small, and short.

  The team could maybe turn into birds, so they’d fly wherever they wao go, but that way, an eagle could eat them or something like that. It was not a safe alternative to walking!

  Anyway, two weeks into the jourhe team were in the middle of a forest, sixty kilometers away from Arvena's hometown. This pce was called the Frozen Red-leaf Forest, and it was called so, because the weather was uable for a start, but also, the forest was knitted with these red leaves regardless of the season. One would think that they've goo autumn as soon as they stepped foot on this pce, it was bizarre!

  Well, bizarre and iing, though crippling heless, because the team had to make a lot of pit stops, in order to avoid freezing to death. It swice here already, and the temperatures dropped as low as -5°C!

  “God… I hought that I'd hate snow this much.” Tim pined, “But I guess it's better than itg our skin off because of all the branch scratches, we'll survive this.”

  The universe erhaps against Tim's words, because as soon as he enced the team for the better, something bad happened. A monster of sorts appeared, right in front of the team's campsite!

  The monster was goril-like, a yeti to be exact. It had white fur, it was huge, but what made it the most terrifying, was its spinal posure!

  The monster had five arms, one of which stretched out from its chest! Si had so many arms, it crawled across the ground much like a spider, which was beyond terrifying to witness! The yeti did not ‘stand up straight’ whatsoever, no, it just surfed along its path.

  Skendus was the first oo spot the beast, well, he heard its violent thoughts as soon as the monster was within his viity! In the blink of an eye, he alerted the team.

  “Attention! Monster over there!” He shouted.

  Now Skendus wasn’t an army general, but shouting and pointing may be the best way to get things in order within mere seds! He wanted his friends to be safe, that was what mattered the most.

  Arvena clocked the monster immediately afterwards, and without pushing her arm forward all that much, she shot a fireball right out of her palm, and towards the yeti abomination! on sense enced that anything with white fur, would be vulnerable to fire, but then again just about everything was vulnerable to fire if the caster was strong enough.

  With the fireball that she had shot, Arvena could burn a fra of the forest down. It was a-foot long, rapid-moving ball of fire after all!

  Tim followed after her, and shot against the monster as well! Siheir two other friends didn't have any offensive abilities, he uood that he and Arvena had to do most of the work here, though he also uood that his fireballs may be far less effective in parison to her’s.

  “Bloody hell, did we kill it!?” He yelled out.

  “I think so,” Arvena said, and then the fire died down by her and alone.

  After the fire died down, they saw what was supposed to be the carcass of the monster. It was supposed to be dead, but when Tim saw that its fur was still all white and bright, he khat something was wrong!

  The mohen suddenly started moving, at rapid speeds. It jolted towards him, and used its huge, muscly arm that stretched out of its chest, to grab him by the neck!

  “You’re my new girlfriend now,” It whispered, intimately, and then tried to run away into the forest with Tim on its arm.

  “Hell nah!” He refused, and then did two very important things as a ter attack.

  First, he summoned various buried animal skeletons in his close viity, multiplied them, and bashed them into the yeti's chest arm, all within two seds! The Bone Multiplier ability that he had, was very effective for this job!

  However, even though the yeti was stabbed, the multiple wounds barely sunk an in its skin, so Tim had to do something else to free himself. The sed thing that he did, was grab a hold of the yeti’s very soul, with the aid of his Soul Grabber ability - He found its use quite self expnatory!

  After he grabbed its soul, the yeti was ao let go of him. Tim wasn’t as weak as he used to be, so he had a much better trol over his abilities, even though it was very expeo use them now! He had grabbed onto the other's soul so hard that he made the yeti float three feet above the ground, he owerful.

  “I am not yirlfriend, you hairy spooky bastard! Why does everything in the animal kingdom want my ass?!” He yelled.

  “Nature has decreed that you shall have butt bumps,” Ortana suddenly added, “I've seey of humans treating those.”

  After she said that, it was very difficult to stay serious, which was flig, because Tim had a monstrous yeti at his disposal, and or mercy. Either way, he ending a lot of mana per sed, sixty points to be exact, and the team had bursted out ughing, so they weren't any closer to a grand decision, but he was closer to spending a great portion of his mana.

  “What the hell are you?” Tim asked, eventually.

  “I am sir Lestuk,” It answered.
