The new world awoke in splendor.
The blue and pink skies painted the heavens, casting a soft light across the lush green plains—and over Lina's face, who, still half-asleep, smiled sweetly.
"Good morning... world..." she murmured gently.
> [System of the Five Skies: Temporary blue sword... now permanent.]
Still sleepy, Lina jumped up with a joyful hop, grabbing her now brightly glowing blue sword.
"Yayyyyy!"
The blade shimmered, wrapped in a stronger blue aura, dancing like wind around her body.
"Wow..."
> [System of the Five Skies: Blue Sky... incoming...]
The air shimmered. The entire world was bathed in an ethereal blue tone.
A small sky, made of pure blue energy, descended from the firmament—and in an instant, it merged with Lina's body and her sword.
Her eyes widened in surprise, but her heart welcomed it.
> [System of the Five Skies: Blue Sky! Success!]
Not fully understanding, Lina just celebrated, spinning around with her glowing sword.
"Yay!! Hmm... one sky down... that means four left? How cool!"
> [System of the Five Skies: Mission Started — Defeat 5 Globins and 1 Wolf Boss.]
Reward: Blue Speed Skill
Lina straightened up, determined—but something unexpected happened.
Her sword, now alive with power, moved on its own. With a flash of blue speed, it slashed the air—defeating all five globins before Lina could even see them!
She only felt it... and smiled.
"Wow... that was amazing…"
But the real challenge was just beginning.
A giant wolf, with black fur and fierce eyes, emerged from the forest with a thunderous growl.
Without hesitation, it charged at Lina.
With instinctive reflexes, Lina dodged. Her blue aura burst around her, even stronger than before. Her eyes sparkled like living sapphires. The sword responded to her call, flying into her hand as if it were part of her.
The Wolf Boss froze.
For a moment, it felt fear.
And then… ZOOOM!
Lina dashed forward in a burst of speed—a blue flash crossing half a meter in the blink of an eye—and with a single elegant strike, she defeated the beast.
> [System of the Five Skies: Congratulations, Lina. Skill "Blue Speed" unlocked.]
She laughed with joy.
"Yay!! Whoa... I was so fast!"
The aura slowly faded. Her eyes returned to normal, and the blue sword vanished—gently pulling Lina back to the field where she had slept the night before.
There, lying on the soft, green grass under the colorful skies, Lina closed her eyes and whispered sweetly:
"This day was... amazing..."
And then, she fell asleep again, dreaming of the skies still to come.
