…

I returned to my rented room at 1 a.m.

Linda threw the muddy-looking Kaphni onto the sofa.

This guy should recover after a night's sleep.

Hopefully, tomorrow's monster-hunting expedition won't be a hindrance to him.

Linda sighed softly.

Once in bed, he found his mind racing and couldn't fall asleep.

Perhaps I was looking forward to tomorrow too much.

He simply sat up and began practicing meditation.

Let's collect the daily 'minimum experience points' first.

Thinking about it carefully, this was his first time training since leaving the team...

Having gained experience from previously leveling up the Healer to level 15, Linda found this time to be much easier.

Knowledge about cultivation flashed through my mind:

It absorbs magical energy from the air into its body, refines it, and then flows into the source core located in the spiritual world, gradually strengthening the power of the source core.

This is the foundation of all adventurers; whether it's battle aura or magic power, it all uses the source core as a carrier.

Linda closed her eyes and calmed herself down.

Gradually, I entered a pitch-black mental world.

Looking up, a lone, rhomboid, emerald-green source core hung in the sky.

With the source core as its 'eye', a colossal, mountain-like, behemoth-like ouroboros coiled within the phantom.

As Linda practiced meditation, a dim star lit up around the source core that served as the target of the Ouroboros.

This is Linda's professional totem.

The Ouroboros, a colossal beast symbolizing power and wisdom.

Each profession in the Mystic Continent has its own symbolic totem, as well as a star map located in the spiritual world.

Each time an adventurer levels up, a star will light up around the Source Core.
