There was another word I thought I figured out . "The word Fal could potentially mean "the" . It's used very often and never in front of words like "is" "can" or "you" but the use of it, is quite often" . I thought that this would be the best guess I could make about the word Fal . If I a.s.sumed that everything I figured out was correct, then it would mean I knew 9 words that were used quite often

Fer - which would translate as "I" or "Me"

Lak - which would translate as "You"

Ak - which would translate as "It"

Ji - which would translate as "Is"

Ki - which would translate as "do" or "does" depending on the p.r.o.noun used

Rei - which would translate as "Can"

Lan - which would translate as "Are"

Peris - which would translate as "This"

Peris - which would translate as "This"

Fal - which would translate as "The"

The list was not a long one but it was a start . I could now even create simple sentences . For example "I can do this" would be Fer Rei Ki Peris . The amount of sentences I could create was limited but having that list, I would be now better able to guess more words and add on to it . 'With time, I will be able to fill in that list and decipher the language, to finally figure out what the dark figure is talking about again and again, with no end visible' I thought .

When I woke up in the morning, I ate my breakfast as usual and returned to my training . Starting from the Strength Manual's modified diagrams . The next part of my training was to go around the route I selected as the most optimal and find out ways to improve my time as well as stealth . Although it was the same route and I kind of knew it, I didn't register all the details so I started running that route again and again .

For about 2 hours, I ran both ways using the same route . I did figure some basic stuff out due to that grinding process . I was now more focused on the objects that could hide me but at the same time, I was more aware of my speed . My time started to improve with more runs completed and I managed to do it in 14 minutes at the end of two hours . It was only a minute of improvement and I knew the route like the back of my own hand but that was also part of my training . 'If I'm very familiar with it, I can increase my speed and stay hidden' I thought .

Although this might've seemed pointless due to me using only one route, in one part of the forest . It actually helped me train my sense and find details while calculating the route . I was learning how to calculate the route, it wasn't simple running back and forward while getting familiar with the route I was taking .

I was learning how to calculate the route, it wasn't simple running back and forward while getting familiar with the route I was taking .

I then had my lunch and decided to go hunt again for a change . I searched the forest and came out unlucky . After over an hour of searching, I found nothing worth hunting . I settled on few rabbits . 'I guess that few rabbits is better than nothing' I thought and returned to my camp .

Going back to my training, this time I chose a different route . It was 2nd most optimal road with 14,5 minutes travel time but a bit less objects to hide my presence . I ran the route back and forward for an hour or so and again improved the time by a bit less than a minute .

I thought 'This can actually work out . I'm getting familiar with those routes but the more familiar I'm the better . This way, I will be able to find tiny details that will increase my time and hiding capabilities' . After doing that, I changed to body training and did that for couple of hours before having my dinner . During the night, I started revising the 3rd diagram from the Strength Manual . I knew it would take time and my current capacity with 1st and 2nd diagram increased by leaps and bounds but nevertheless, I would need that 3rd diagram too .

I could now stay in the pose of the 1st diagram for almost 19 minutes, only a bit over than a minute away from my target of 20 minutes . That was of course without the weight on my back, arms and legs but it was something nevertheless . As for the pose from the 2nd diagram, I could keep it for a bit over 8 minutes . Which was improvement as well .

This proved how much my body grew but it was not enough . My strength was good but not great, I would need at least the same amount of strength that the man I met couple of days ago had . My skills were also lacking, I was working on it but without all my tools, I could only focus on something that didn't require them .

I could potentially train my Wind Daggers but that was not an optimal choice . It would take much longer than my stealth and if I were to believe what the man said about north, stealth would be very useful . 'I need to stay alive in order to do something . Being able to move undetected as well as knowing how to run away, will help me achieve that' I thought .

I was modifying the diagram and found some small details that I could improve but nothing major . I still had some ways to go but before that, I needed rest . I fell asleep and dreamt the dream I actually wanted to see . Now that I was more familiar with the language and had some basic stuff figured out, I ventured to the unknown . Although I could remember the words that were spoken, it didn't give me much without the dark figure saying them . It was very hard to p.r.o.nounce them and I was afraid to get it wrong, if I did it by myself .

It was already hard guessing the meaning of those words and if I did it on my own, outside of the dream, I could stray from the right path, which I didn't need at that point . The dream finished after 20 cycles but I got nothing out . I had some guesses but they were far fetched and I needed more time in order to get a solid hint or clue that would either confirm or destroy my theory .

When I stood up and tried to do my usual morning exercise, I saw a group of humans approaching my camp from afar . I thought 'This can be bad . If they are as strong as the guy I met . I could be in deep trouble' . I stayed calm on the outside but inside, I was already planing how to take care of them . I didn't know their strength nor skills or their purpose but I knew one thing . They weren't friendly people . I didn't call out to them and simply waited in my camp for them to arrive . There was another word I thought I figured out . The word Fal could potentially mean the .
