I Reincarnated As A Stick

Ding!

Within seconds, a clear blue path manifested on top of his current surroundings while a large blue triangle also manifested on top of his body, hovering with a number over it.

15,000 meters.

In other words, 15 kilometers. In his current life, it would be the greatest distance he has ever trekked before. Even the whole Lesser Experience Haven had a diameter of 5 kilometers. To think that he was going to a place that was 3 Lesser Experience Havens apart from him. To any rational person, it was crazy talk.

But for Aurus, he would do it because he remembered a few things from a friends of his that luckily gained an elemental affinity skill.

"Head towards a place that is abundant in the certain element your element affinity is needing and stay there for a while so it levels up." That friend of his told him this statement, and surprisingly in his previous life, Aurus was able to get an elemental affinity skill and this statement helped him a lot.

"[Roll++]," he commanded.

Whoosh!

In an instant, as if a tempestuous storm was being created around Aurus' surroundings, a strong wind aura covered Aurus' body and propelled him forward at a speed that was at least twice of his previous movement speed when [Roll++] was at Level 1. Then again, thinking about it, his [Roll++] was already at Level 7, not long from reaching its peak!

"Onwards to the Tempest Cliff!" Aurus shouted as he embarked on his first long journey towards a place filled with dangers for his current level.

...

The world of Erudinia was split into 4 continents, one of these continents stood a large kingdom known as the Seraph Kingdom. Unfortunately, this kingdom was in the same continent where Aurus was.

XXXX Continent, Seraph Kingdom, an unknown room.

Within this room was a man in his late twenties that exuded an aura of arrogance and wisdom, which were two contrasting qualities. But in front of this man, it seemed that both of these qualities harmonized each other, making him look like a brave hero of legends.

He wore clothing that was befitting of his rank. He had jet black hair and yellow irises that made anyone who looked directly at it kneel down with respect.

This person was one of the 12 Princes of the Seraph Kingdom, Prince Vanadir.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

A melodious chime sound could be heard resonating throughout the room. Prince Vanadir located where the sound came from and not long after, pulled out a crystal from his pocket. This crystal was the one causing the melodious chime sound.

"A call? I wonder who could it be?" Prince Vanadir didn't really expect to get a call from someone at this time. It was only noon at the moment, he just finished eating his lunch. Nonetheless, he accepted the call.

Kacha!

"Hello...hello...Y-Your Highness..." At first, the voice that came from the crystal was choppy but after a while, the voice became clearer, letting Vanadir recognize who was calling him.

"Ah! If it isn't Dane, my great High Mage friend!" Vanadir couldn't help but reply with a smile after recognizing who called him. "Since you called me, I assume that you're going to tell me something important, yes?"

Dane, who was at the other side of the call, nodded unconsciously even though Vanadir couldn't see him nod. "Indeed, it's about the material you needed in order to craft your specialized weapon."

Vanadir didn't expect that Dane would call him about the material he needed. He vigorously stood up from where he sat and shouted in surprise, "What?! You're telling me you found the Wind Branch?"

"No," Dane shook his head as he replied. At this moment, he let out a small giggle which could be heard from the other side of the call. "It's something even better."

"What could possibly be better than a Wind Branch?" Vanadir frowned a bit after hearing Dane's statement, but after a while, Dane's eyes widened in shock. "Don't tell me it's..."

"It's what you're thinking," Dane replied with certainty. "A mana-infused Wind Branch. A woodcutter happened to pass by it a few days ago while he was chopping some trees from the Desolate Forest. Do you want to know its true name?"

Hearing the phrase 'mana-infused Wind Branch', Vanadir couldn't help but jump in joy. 'With a mana-infused Wind Branch as the core of my specialized weapon, with my current power as a Rank 2 Junior Windwalker, I could possibly reach the combat power of a beginner Rank 4 Grand Windwalker!'

At this moment, Vanadir knew he was getting too excited and took a few deep breaths to calm himself. Not long after, he then asked, "What's its true name?"

Dane, after a few moments of silence, answered.

"The Wind Walnut Branch."

...

Unknowingly, over three days have passed ever since Aurus started heading towards the Tempest Cliff. During this time, other than rolling, he was raising the levels for his [SP Storage] skill, [Regenerative Fruit Creation] skill, and [Infused Nut Shot] skill.

To be honest, who could blame Aurus who previously didn't have any skills to level while rolling other than his movement skill? Of course, he would use this idle time to make himself stronger as a rough plan was formulated in his mind.

"First, raise [Wind Affinity] to at least B-grade Mortal level. Then, head back to the Lesser Experience Haven and kill the Boss of the Haven to obtain a special item. Afterwards, evolve."

After a while, another notification screen popped up in front of Aurus. Aurus looked at it for a bit before placing it to the side of his field of vision as the notification sound he wanted to pop up hasn't appeared yet.

And finally, after shortening the distance to only 4 kilometers between him and the Tempest Cliff, Aurus looked at the notification screen in front of him, making his eyes light up.

Finally, the notification he was waiting for!

Ding!

'[Regenerative Fruit Creation] has leveled up twice.'

'[Condensed SP Storage] has leveled up four times.'

'[Infused Nut Shot] has leveled up four times.'

'[Roll++] has leveled up thrice.'

'[Regenerative Fruit Creation], [Condensed SP Storage], [Infused Nut Shot], and [Roll++] has reached the MAX level.'

'[Regenerative Fruit Creation], [Condensed SP Storage], [Infused Nut Shot], and [Roll++] has met the necessary requirements needed and is ready to evolve.'

At this point, Aurus stopped where he was and looked at his surroundings to see if any possible enemies were nearby. Making sure that there was none, he let out a grin only he could see.

"Man, I ended up heading towards the Tempest Cliff at a level lower than what was recommended. I shouldn't have haphazardly decided to head there without preparing. Anyways, raising all of these to the max level would help me last a bit longer there so..."

"Evolve [Roll++]."
