Tsulak gains 40 experience points for training.

Having finished learning the secrets of training from ancient cultists, Tsulak goes to sleep. In his dream, he sees an unusual scene: six different naked men kneel before a naked woman with snow-white skin and crimson eyes. All participants in this strange ceremony resembled humans, but they had leathery wings, graceful tails, and sharp horns.

Waking up, Tsulak feels much stronger than the day before and remembers the cultist's offer to visit the leaders' house after completing the training course.

Tsulak restores all action points.

Tsulak receives Fighter characteristics.
Tsulak reaches level 3.
Tsulak gets +1 to Beauty.
Tsulak reaches the Novichok rank (+2 to Strength and Endurance).

Ida felt her body and sensed the ground beneath her feet, even though she couldn't see it. It seemed she was still alive.

"Utar is dead. The brothers are dead. Corvus's guard is dead, and he himself has fled," a melodious female voice spared no consideration for Ida's feelings. "Humanity has once again lost to the Winding Mind. An obvious inevitability."

The woman standing before Ida possessed incredible beauty. As if sculpted from the ideals of countless generations of humans, she appeared like a goddess. And yet, something about her seemed vaguely familiar to Ida.

"You should have died," the woman said in a detached tone. "But you didn't."

The stranger's light, airy garments swayed in time with her words.

“I must admit, I’m somewhat surprised,” Ida replied calmly. “And what about you?” The girl mentally noted that the stranger had mentioned everyone except Mahra. As if the head of the workshop hadn't been defeated right before her eyes. But she decided not to correct her.

The woman smiled faintly. “You live because I allow it.” What a quick and simple revelation.

“I am alive because the Mage Guild took pity on me,” Ida wanted to say dismissively, but she remembered that they weren’t supposed to break the fourth wall here. “And what does that mean?” Ida barely managed to hold back a question that might not please the stranger. The girl had learned to react more calmly to everything. Although all this uncertainty and ambiguity irritated her somewhat. She is alive by the will of this woman. Good. But why aren't her brothers, with whom Ida befriended, still alive by her will? Why are the swordsmen who fought with no less zeal not alive? Why are Mahra and, most importantly, Master Utar not alive? Their survival would have made much more sense. But engaging in an argument meant being considered ungrateful. And Ida wasn’t entirely opposed to living. Rather, she didn’t want to pay an exorbitant price for the right to live. “So, I have something to thank you for,” Ida said politely, bowing her head. “But who are you? And why did you decide to give me a second chance out of everyone else?”

Waking up, Tsulak feels much stronger than the day before and remembers the cultist's offer to visit the leaders' house after completing the training complex.

— Strange dreams. Well, let the bat demon and ice hag go; my goal is only the leader and my throne!

Looking at himself in the mirror, Tsulak posed like a bodybuilder:
— This is what exercising outdoors does! How strong I am! How mighty I am! How beautiful I am! Give me another month, and I will tear the heart of the forest into pieces with my own hands and eat its remains. Ha-ha-ha!

After enjoying the view, the oily man goes to see the leaders.

what levels do I get there?

The woman meaningfully ran her hand along the train of her dress. “They are all here. Their flesh and blood have become garments for me,” she said, as if it were self-evident. “Utar, my dear mentor, who dared to use the root of the Twisting Nether. My crown. The warrior-scholars who fought in the name of preserving the memory of the past. My belt. And the swordsmen of the Clan of Sufferers. They caress my skin every moment.” The stranger closed her eyes. “For I am Mahra, champion of Hurat-Rekret. As for you… you were my student. Though not for long. I do not wish your death.” The woman arched her graceful arm, and immediately a dark green root wrapped around it.

Tsulak's levels have been distributed similarly to those of other units.

The oiled Tsulak of level 3 enters the hall of chieftains and presents his noticeably grown muscles as proof of completing a training course. “Another fighter in our ranks! Wonderful!” exclaimed the floor washer 4, admiring Tsulak’s transformation. Yesterday’s weakling is brought into the throne room, where an unfamiliar, oiled fighter immediately punches him in the face. Tsulak receives 40 damage (70/110). “Welcome to the newbies, brother!” congratulated Tsulak’s attacker. “Don’t be offended! This is how we do things here.” Slightly beaten, the trainee fighter appears before the throne of the Fighters clan leader. He is now occupied by a fragile and surprisingly familiar girl with long blonde hair. He has already seen her a couple of times out of the corner of his eye in the training halls. To the right of the chieftain stood Varna, who was even more familiar. “We have reinforcements? Not bad,” Tisa Gentong took a sip from a large scarlet goblet.

Fighter 1 moves to the right of Slave 1 and drinks the potion. Warrior 3 moves three steps up and drinks the potion. Aristarch remains in place.

"Glory and prosperity to you, great leader! The valiant Tsulak, no longer a weakling but a Novichok, has arrived in the training halls to prove his strength of body and spirit and join the ranks of the most worthy!"

The woman meaningfully ran her hand along the train of her dress.

"They are all here. Their flesh and blood have become garments for me," she said, as if it were self-evident. "Utar, dear mentor, who dared to use the root of the Twisting Mind. My crown. The warrior-scholars who fought in the name of preserving the memory of the past. My belt. And the swordsmen of the Clan of Sufferers. They caress my skin every moment."

The stranger closed her eyes.

"For I am Mahra, champion of Hurat-Rekret. As for you... you were my student. Though not for long. I do not wish your death."

The woman arched her graceful arm, and a dark green root immediately coiled around it.

Ida froze with such an expression on her face:


I'll answer later; I went shopping earlier, but now they finally turned on the water, so I need to clean up.

Varna leaned towards Tisa and whispered something in her ear. “Ah, so you are a friend of our dear Gorus,” the leader in a dress beckoned Zulak with a goblet. “You are young and ambitious. I appreciate that. I have an offer for you. The deputy leader of the Suffering Ones, Corvis, has planned an expedition to the western foothills of the mountain range. He needs reliable fighters. I, as the most generous soul of the dwindling human race, will provide them to him. Will you go? For my sake, of course.” Among the few warriors in the throne room, Zulak could notice a familiar red hood.
