The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System

Though she only gets to know about the level of that Earth Dragon from the Analyse skill, it is enough for her to understand how strong it is compared to her own level. And also, even though Sheila was already far away from that place, she was still scared that the dragon might have still chasing right behind her. After drinking a fair amount of mineral water from the bottle she had stored in the inventory to ease her thirst, she still didn't feel any sort of tremor on the ground nor the frightening aura closing in. It was safe to say that she is fine now, which caused her to released another sigh.

"As expected of 'S-Rank Quest', huh? A dragon out of nowhere... If I was a little bit slower to act, I would have been a goner by then."

Though she understood that it's dangerous and the risk is high the higher the rank for the quest, but it went beyond her expectation. Sheila had thought that it would be something like investigation, like looking for information and stuff, that kind of hard stuff. That was why she was surprised to suddenly find herself staring at the huge 'crocodile' that could summon earthquake at will which almost took her life if she was any later.

Looking behind her, she didn't see any sight of the huge dragon anywhere in the distance. Sheila wonders why it doesn't chase after her, and why did it attack her at that time. Is it because of her trespassing into its territory? It's possible, if not it would still be chasing after her. T here's also another possibility that it didn't do so because of some other reason that she didn't know. Either way, now that I am safe, I should try checking up if there's any update for the quest,  with that thought in mind, Sheila pulled out the phone from her pocket.

"...you have got to be kidding me."

Looking at the updated quest, Sheila couldn't help but took a mouthful of a deep breath while cursing in her mind. How could a mere level 19 her be able to defeat something as huge and powerful as that Earth Dragon, which is way higher level than her at solid 53! It's absolutely impossible! Even with fire magic, Inferno, Sheila didn't think that it would work on that considering it has a dragon in its name. Even if it hits, it probably won't be much as with that high of a level, its endurance must have been high, and rather than trying to kill it, the attack might have made it angrier instead.

Though the reward is very tempting, especially the system upgrade, but the current her is not an opponent to the dragon.  The only way that I could have a chance is by becoming even stronger than the current me, leveling up to the point that I'm on the same level as the Earth Dragon. But that will take a while seeing how slow it takes for me to level up the higher my level goes, and by the time I'm on the same level, the Earth Dragon would have probably been made known to the whole world. And Sheila could even see that there might be many deaths due to a lot of people trespassing into its territory, including those from the government.

She even wonders on how the government would try to conceal the existence of Earth Dragon when it occupied the mountain and would not move elsewhere, even if they succeed in that, the public would eventually know about it when they tried to mess with it which would result in a couple of earthquakes. As this is not Japan, where having a couple of earthquakes in their life is the norm, the civilians would obviously find that something is wrong. Though Sheila didn't think that the government would make such a mistake, it is not zero.

"Sigh, I'm still weak. I wanted to just stay coop in the Trial Tower and focused on leveling at all times, but that's not going to happen, huh?"

If not for the fact that she has school to attend, Sheila would definitely shut herself in the Trial Tower the whole time, and only leave when her presence is required; an actual Shut-in. Now that she had known the cause of the earthquake and unable to do anything about it, Sheila decides to head home and think about the issue together with Ria.  Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.readwn.com for visiting.

With her current speed while submerged within the shadow, it only takes five minutes when she arrived at home. Though she would like to do the cool rooftop-jumping thing like in the movie and all, it's impossible to do it without having people looking at her like some sort ninja and some might even record it and post it on the internet which would bring many problems to her.

She might even alert some sort of slumber old dragon from the supernatural world to her place which would not only cause a problem to her but also the surrounding. The last thing Sheila wants was the innocent in her town getting caught up in her problem, no matter how selfish she is, she still couldn't ignore the people that might be involved in her case. Otherwise, that guiltiness will be following till her death.

Just the existence of Angelica showed that there are people out there that didn't live like the other ordinary people, there were living in the same world as her, a world where one could bring a small miracle if one is knowledgable enough to use their power. But the fact that the public doesn't know such a world exists likely meant that only a certain group of people knows about it, which is something Sheila is thankful for.

And as the days passed, Sheila has started to notice that the surrounding mana in the air is getting thicker slowly but surely. She had thought it was just her imagined at first, but as the day goes on, even Ria had stated that she feels that the air has become more 'comfortable' somehow. Though it is a good thing for people like her who actually use mana, it is not a good thing for ordinary people getting exposed to mana for a long period of time. She had seen an example of that from her father as the more they were exposed to mana, either their body tries to adapt to it or death will be their fate.

Though she was worried at first about her parents, surprisingly, her father's body had started to adapt to the mana within when she looked into it with both Analyse and Mana Eyes skill. She didn't know how it was possible, but she didn't care so long as it's a good thing. She also didn't have to worry about her mother since she had quite the amount of potions in her inventory and if that is not enough, she also still has one Elixir from the lottery. But that's not important, the most important thing right is that when the festival day has arrived, Sheila was informed that Yuna was kidnapped by a group of unknown men into a van on her way to school. It was from a letter she received from a student who was apparently paid to send it to her, and that another student saw the incident happened right in front of him, unable to do anything other than calling the cops. The word written on letter caused her blood to boil as she gritted her teeth and promised that she will tear everything down when she figured out who's the culprit, but first, Sheila had to go the promise location without informing the cops.

Without waiting any further, Sheila immediately departed to the location with the rage boiling inside of her like a sleeping volcano.
