Well that was easy I place my hand back on the box’s and say option’s.

I mentally click on Spawn control and see a timer ticking down for a goblin spawn, there is a cancel option and pause option I press pause. Moving back to main page, I select available creatures and only see goblins, next I check available materials and it displayed me, slice of bread and Birch leaves. I then check status page.

Expanding both skill and ability lists I only see axe handling and power strike level 1. I tried do get more information about them, but nothing came up. I remembered what was written in the starter guide how I needed do focus on the skill to understand it. I sat down on my rock and meditate on the Axe handling skill I start to get flashes on how I handled my axe but nothing more.
Switching to my Power strike ability I start do see when I do my big overhead swing how the essence moved with my muscles to help me deliver a more powerful swing. Seems like I somehow unconsciously manipulated my essence to help me but now that I can see what I did I can do it better and train my essence to move better but first need to finish the starter guide and the still floating druid class literature .
The tier list goes from G do triple S that is pretty standard, but it does not evaluate combat ability but how much essence you have. To get from G to F you need twice as much essence that continues until you get to A. To reach S tier you need 10 times more essence then you have when upgrading do A tier. It continues to with 10x until you reach SSS tier. The guide hinted about something more after that but no certain information.
What was interesting is that there is information about compressing your essence, but that does not change your essence requirement do get to higher tier and the starting point is different for everybody so a tiers at best is a rough estimate to what combat power you have not do talk about how much real skills trained to perfection can do.
That was about all the help this small pamphlet give me, I moved on to the druid class starter guide it was surprisingly helpful. Basically, it explained how to get started with a druid class and it's the same as I saw in my dreams and it seems the materials are used do bond you do a certain path in your class.
It gave no certain path to follow and even if I wanted to change, I can no longer do that. It continued to teach more about how do feel essence and a guide do learn some basic runes to increase by class level and do gain power from them. One example is a triangle about my hand size with three dots inside do increase my body’s strength by 2x.
Its seems there is a limit to how many runes I can fit on to my body and that limits my power as a druid there can’t be duplicates, well you can do more than one of the same rune but how you use your rune power is do circle essence into it if you try do circle essence into two similar the guide says a lot of bad things can happen even death.
I continued with the druid class guide for tiers G to E there was a lot of good information. Some things repeated but I learned so much things. How land is important and how to channel it do increase my power. I need purified essence do be in my land and I can slowly use it for my own strength that is what my dot rune does. I circle some essence into it and can feel an Incredible connection do my land I stop cycling as soon as I can I fell down and almost blacked out from all that information.
I table that for now, that requires some real time do learn do to. I move on and use the technique in the book do circle my essence to compress it down. Having done that for 15 minutes it becomes boring and the book recommends do compress at least 5 hours a day. This does not work for me, so I wonder if there is better techniques well, I am certain there is, but I have no way do get them.
I reactivate the goblin spawn for my dungeon and wait for the timer do go down I see all the dead goblins and have an idea I move one of the dead bodies do my dungeon box’s and throw it in it flashes and my goblin timer shortens buy a lot throwing the next in does nothing to the current time but at least the body is gone.
When the goblin spawns I kill it easily and watch as the timer is set do little over two minutes. The goblin still gives me essence I slowly clean all the dead bodies and continue to kill them. While I do that, I had an idea, why not compress while I fight and move around. I try to use the compression technique, but I need do sit and stay still for it to work.
It took me do almost sunset do modify the technique to make it work so I can to anything I want but still compress. When I was done and the new technique work, I got a blue box message
You have demonstrated the ability to manipulate essence
You receive Essence manipulation ability
You have demonstrated the skill do make or modify essence techniques
You receive Essence creator skill
Sound useful do learn from my mistake thanks to these skills. It’s not so easy as in games when you get a skill you are support do get more knowledge on how to use it and do advance in that skill. Not learn how you have done so far and then try do get better that way that sounds way more hard gore.
There is also a downside to my new skill simply I can’t use my essence for anything else, so no power strike do kill the goblins. Luckily, I do not need anything but my axe and my body strength to do that. I turned the goblin spawning off and went home. I found that I had signal, the internet was up and there is no news stories about monsters running around.
That is some good news for the world it looks like this raw essence may only be local here but for some reason I do not believe that at this moment there is only one dungeon on earth there are more and as time goes on I hope there will be many more because raw essence without dungeon will be many times worse.
The next day starts somewhat similar to my regular day on my vacation time. I get up I make food for my day in the forest. But the similarity ends when I reach the forest usually, I start by cleaning the place where I want to fill trees but now, I approach a field dungeon and start killing goblins for their refined essence.
I continued to compress and gather essence for the next few days when I finally hit the tier barrier. Druid book guides me how do get do the next tier it’s not that easy as do just have enough essence and boom your there. You need to open one of the 10 gates in your body and every gate you open the next will be a lot harder, how hard that deepens on your body and will.
When you have compressed your essence, it is easier to open gates. The gate you open is random for everybody my first one is where my spine and scull meet. That one was not in the book and I do not know the benefit it will have. even so I continued forward and in an instant, it was over, and I can feel a rush of emptiness there is a lot more room for more essence in my body.
Now that was a lot easier than the book described looks like I have hit a jackpot with my body and like the book say’s if it’s easy you have great potential to reach far in the cultivating world. When I continued to kill goblins, I found that I have a lot more control over my body and can react faster I almost missed my axe hit on a goblin's head because of it. But I quickly adjusted and continued.
It was getting more and more tiresome to keep killing them, my essence requirements have gone up by a lot and every goblin only gives me a minuscule amount. But I still know the value of easy grinding. I did not only grind essence, but I also learned how do use my druid rune to connect me to my land.
When I was able to connect do my land and still fight, I gained a class skill druidic land it was still mostly useless because my land had barely any refined essence and I was starting do get worried about how much corruption there is. I had an idea do somehow use the dungeon do not spawn goblins but use it to clean my lands of corruption. I have realized that refined essence when coming into connection with corruption they will eliminate each other.
The dungeon when not spawning goblins did release some refined essence but it was too slow. Every goblin I killed release more essence then the dungeon did during the night.
