"what happened?" I asked as I sat up holding my aching head
"You passed out, master, due to mana exhaustion"
I jolted up in surprise to these words only to see Aqua on my lap.
"Was that you?" I asked looking around half hoping that it was someone behind or maybe they were really shy and just hiding
"Yes, it was me, Aqua," I don't know how but I could tell when it said Aqua it was pleased also
"How are you talking without a mouth,"
"I, Aqua, believe that Aqua is talking into your mind through our bond master"
"oh, ok" I excepted the explanation as it was the only one I had right now and when it talked I felt as though it was truly telling me what it believed. After that, I tried to stand up only to collapse back to the ground.
"Ha ha, why can't I walk?" I said with a worried look
"Like Aqua has said you have mana exhaustion"
"And what is that?"
"Aqua believes that it is caused by using too much mana"
"Ok, so how do I get more mana?"
"Aqua thinks master just needs to rest" my shoulders slumped a little as I tried to relax
"Thanks Aqua, you're a life saver"
"Yes! I, Aqua, am the Best!!" Aqua seems to be a little childish but still helpful so I didn't mind.
"Also stop calling me master, Just Achilles is fine"
"Yes ma- Achilles" Aqua had to cut itself off mid-sentence this made me give it a warm smile and a light chuckle. As I sat there I went over the notifications still in my head till I got to the latest one
[You have survived using more mana than your bodies capacity to hold +1 to Wisdom +1 to Enderance]
"Oh, I should probably try to look at my stat points,"
Now just to figure out how. Maybe I have some kind of stat window.
"Stats... Window... Skills... StatWindowSkills"
I tried yelling out some terms that the Notifications used and then mix but nothing. I tried thinking of what to do or say to open it when I remembered a certain helpful someone
"Hey, Aqua, how do you open up the stat window?"
"Window?"
"The thing that you use to see your stats and such, you know"
"Oh, just focus on your body Achilles"
"Hm," I said looking at my palm before shifting my view back at Aqua curiously using my identification skill to see

I can't believe it's level is above mine now, wait
"How did you Level so much?"
"When I became your familiar it used your mana to bind us together and nerture my body giving me experience, also Aqua has leveled the skill of (Water Manipulation) while you were asleep giving me even more experience"
"What is (Water Manipulation)?"
"It is a skill Aqua had since I've been alive that allows me to use magic to manipulate water"
"That's very interesting," I said placing a hand on my chin thinking about what else magic could do. But before I go on about and pursue magic my stats are what matter right now. I closed my eyes and focused on myself as Aqua instructed at first nothing happened which made me think I was doing it wrong. Though I kept doing as instructed and a window finally popped up.

Was I strong, maybe, I was a world-class boxer after all second to non but this world was different. Also my familiar might be a high level but my stats are more than double thiers, and what's up with my wisdom
"Am I dumb?" I said sighing with a heavy breath
"What's wrong Achilles"
"Nothing, just tired," I said trying to hide my disappointment, mostly at myself
"Oh, ok!" it said with satisfaction
"I'm going to bed" I'm too tired and unsure what I need to put my skill points in so, for now, I'm going to sleep.
