After Levin roam around the village to see if something caught his eye , its when he say another merchant selling some rings Levin made his way toward him and asked " what kind of ring are you selling?" The replied it's a storage ring upon hearing , Levin got curious and asked " what type of storage ring" upon that the merchant took a sword that was placed on the table and put it in the ring , upon swords contact with the ring it vanished and seeing that Levin was amazed he wanted to buy this ring and it will be very helpful to him in the future and he wasn't going to let go of such a thing Levin asked the merchant " what is the prize of this ring" at which he said "10 gold coins" hearing this Levin was shocked although he had only 30 gold coins with him which he took them from the bodies of the bandits he had killed but losing 10 gold coins from the start didn't sit right with Levin he want to get that ring at a cheaper price than this so he negotiated and said " 10 gold coins are too much for this ring so i will give you only 6 gold coins for this how about you give this to me " hearing Levin's terms he said " if you don't wanna buy then go i have no intention of selling this ring less than 10 coins " but Levin was also stubborn so he said " i will be the only one to buy this ring from you and there's no one who will buy it from you at the price at which you are selling I'm still offering you 6 gold coins so how about we make this quick and the both of us can then go our own way we don't have all day". The merchant didn't wanted to let go of such an artifact but he also had to make a living at which he demanded "7 gold coins" this was the most he can lower the price because he had a family to feed , seeing his deperate reaction Lecvin agreed and handed him '7coins' and took the ring , at first Levin only wanted to give him '6 coins' but drop the idea of that not because he felt pity for the guy but he was in a hurry and he had already wasted almost a whole day in the village so he wanted to return to the forest.
He returned to the village hall and went straight to the reception where he saw the familiar blonde hair woman and asked her"Do you have a map to travel to the nearest city and if there is then what's the name of the city he also asked about Eldoria kingdom " upon hearing the kingdoms name they were shocked and that wasn't the reaction he was expecting so Levin didn't push any further after a while the receptionist said"the nearest town from this village is "Oakhaven" it will take you almost '1 month' to reach that town and after that she handed him the map to the town upon receiving he gave '1 silver coin' and left.He placed the map inside the storage ring he bought and then happily went abck towards the forest the night was approaching fast so he wanted to make sure he find a good place inside forest to stay the night but nothing goes the same as one had thought so upon entering he saw a pack of wolfs , fire was coming out of their mouth when tgey saw Levin they instantly attacked like they have been starving for months but Levin only said "ignite" upon which all the wolves were engulfed with flame and apart from that Levin used another spell "Gale cutter" when he used both spells he knew these wolves have no chance of fighting back upon which they died after a short while,Levin waited till all of them were dead and then headed straight towards their bodies he wanted to clear his suspicion.
After the talk with the merchant in the inn he was thinking deeply about his experience in the space time trap because he has killed so many monsters inside that he can't count but the one thing that was bugging him was soul core, the merchant said that the awakened use the soul core inside the bodies of monsters to become atrong like they held them in their hands and then crush it upon which the power tmmonster has accumulated in his soul core become theirs and they clearly feel that they are becoming stronger, but this wasn't true in Levin's case because Levin has never once used a soul core in his life he knew when he examined his body that he also has these so called 'cores' in his body but he never thought the same was in the case for monsters and in the space time trap where he was for 10,000 years he has never used soul cores beacuse he was getting stronger just by killing them so he wanted to test that if he can absorb the power inside the soul core of monsters or not and that's what he was going to find out he ripped open tge body of one wolf who was lying dead on the ground and took out the soul core from his body and without a second he crushed it at first he didn't feel anything but after a couple of breaths he felt it the sensation he has always felt after killing a monster, the sensation of getting stronger this was the exact same sensation he get after crushing the 'soul core', at which Levin came to realization that he may be the only one who can get stronger by absorbing and killing the monsters at the same time,which will give him tge edge over everyone , Levin made sure that no one will ever know about his secret , he doesn't want to invite unnecessary trouble.
As the night came Levin took out the map which he bought and he lit a campfire and then carefully examined the map if he ever made hus mind to visit the town , but right now that wasn't the case after learning about he can become twice the time stronger then every other awakened he wanted to use all the time to his benefit and become strong,Levin thought it's not like I'm not strong enough now it's that the world is a big place and is full of surprises , there might be someone right now who must be stronger than Levin but it didn't matter to him in the slightest beacuse he wanted to become the strongest in the world.
"All i wanted was to live a happy and quiet life with my family but who would've thought what the "Fate" had prepared for me ,I never wanted to become strong like this by losing everything I've cherished but now i will become strong and kill everyone who will stand in my way i don't give a damn about this world whether it curses me or hates me i will destroy everything and have my revenge, I will even destroy the so called "Fate" and have my revenge."
