Each boar killed brought him one step closer, each level he gained was like a flash of power he had waited for.
From lv 6 to lv 7 he saw his experience points decrease from the lower level boars so he hunted higher levels.
From lv7 to lv8 he could kill the boars with almost no effort.
From lv8 to lv9 he had begun training his mastery of the mana bullet so he could master his other spells.

His efforts during his experience grind were well rewarded.
Not only were his spells leveling up nicely but his skills were as well.
His mana sense had even increased in tier meaning it had a new radius minimum radius of 10 meters.
As his mana sense increased in level it would obviously grow stronger too.
He felt that something interesting would happen once he hit lv10 in the same way he gained his fire spell at lv5.
Now that he was lv9 though he had to find new creatures to hunt since it would only move slowly if he continued with the boars.
With his path leading him out of the forest he managed to find new creatures but since it was farther and farther away from the village he saw fewer players.
Each hunting ground was sort of like a territory he noticed, the creatures would sometimes roam into eachothers territory and this made some overlap but it was pretty well established.
Nearest the village were the slimes inside of the barrier and just outside of the barrier was the territory of the wolves which extended deep into the woods.
The territory of the boars was typically heralded by less underbrush like bushes and leaves as the boars seemed to eat anything they found.
While exploring the territory of the wolves he saw very few players because of not just the few number at his level but also because the territory was so spread out.
He saw a few players while hunting wolves but it was far more common to see low level boars and high level wolves fighting at the territory edge.
While hunting boars Ezekiel had not seen a single player which he assumed is why he was able to level up so quickly from the abundance of prey.

Since he had been worrying about the way these beasts fought recently he had been leveling up agility a few times, with his new hunting ground though he felt agility was much more important than before.
After he finished setting his stat points he got another notification.
