2024-10-29 19:42:56I know the perfect skills to pick, ‘Combustion’ and ‘Mana-kinesis’
I had both of these skills, though I ignored ‘Mana-kinesis’ and it only got to D rank, because it requires a bunch of theoretical knowledge to make 100% use of ‘Mana-kinesis’.
Though this time, since I’ll waste less time on useless things like exploring and searching for hidden encounters and the like, I can focus on learning about ‘Fusion’ more and making it more useful
But ‘Combustion’, on the other hand is a skill I really, really, REALLY liked, in fact it was one of my most favorite skills and I was the first to take to S+ rank, though that was at the end of my life.
‘Combustion’ is really versatile, since it’s description at G rank quite literaly is ‘When combustion is used on a particular area/item/material, it makes said thing combust’
And for others it turns further on

A Second Chance in Time Prologue
Hi, I'm Mark and while I'm not the strongest and neither do I have any unique ability, most of my opportunities being either wasted or given away one way or another, I'm the one that survived the most.And this ending of mine is very fitting: the last demon is about to kill the last human, well not last, since there is still one city left, but details don‘t matter.Oh, look, Ho'arkhan, the last demon, is about to finally kill me."Fuck you too, oh ‘last one‘, I wish you a lovely life“Those are my last words.“Same for you, same for you“To be put out of this misery I call life is quite comforting I must say.No longer do I feel pain, must be my brain shutting down.Oh, I just lost all of my senses and the ability to move my body as well, not that I care about it, I‘m dying and there is nobody out there strong, close or fast enough to save me.Farewell life, I don't want to ever see you again.…......Wait a second.…Why do I see a blinding light.Where is that eternal rest that

{Hi, I'm your friendly Rex}You fucker, you didn't let me rest peacefully.{Don't worry, everything went well, though I have to inform you that your family received a blessing of fortune, that is something that all regressors who came from families that aren't that rich got, to help them and all}That's good, I hope I could buy all the stuff I need for myself.{The restrictions you got on the system will be lifted when other get access to the system, that's it, bye}OK, that's somewhat relieving, I hoped I could get early access, though I should've been satisfied with the wishes, but being greedy doesn't hurt sometimes.Ok, now what?Guess I'll wait.[You have the option to be put asleep till being birthed or you could open your gift box, getting a quest to do in the mean time is also an option.]Then open the gift box[Understood]['Gift Box' open][Congratulations, you got 'level decrease pill' x 10, 'full restoration potion' (Rare rank)x3, 'body refining pill' (mythical)x2, APx5, S

Ah, it's so boring.It's been, what, like 3 months, I would've stopped if not for the fact that I got the 'discipline' skill and now it's F- -rank, all skills start out at G- -rank so you can see how hard for me it is to continue training the mana manipulation skill luckily it's in F+ rank now.I want to stop.No, get it together, you only got 15 hours of sleep in the past 1 day, that's plenty for you.But I want to- shut up myself.See what the author is doing to me, he forced an infant to train non-stopA/N:I only gave you the quest, you chose to accept it.But the rewardsA/N: ChatGPT generated them, now shut up and stop breaking the fourth wall.Time to talk to myself moreAfter 1 month of 2 parts work and 3 parts rest I got so used to training mana manipulation that it became like second instinct for me.

[Skill 'mana manipulation' ranked up to E- rank][Skill 'hyperfocus' ranked up to F rank][Skill 'fireball' has been acquired]Wait, I had the skill 'focus'?[And for a while, you got it 2 hours before ranking up 'mana manipulation' to F rank, but because you were extremely focused changing the shape you were making out of mana, you missed the notification, and when you checked your status, you only asked for title and stats, I only showed you you mentioned things][The skill 'hyperfocus' indirectly prevented you from going insane, since you still have your feeling and you lack any insanity resistance granting skills apart 'Strong mind', which, with your amount of will, is not enough to not go insane. In order to live this kind of lifestyle you have to have at least 150 will for your amount of insanity resistance][Your 'hyperfocus' skill helped you alleviate this stress by helping you lose the track of time, so there were times when you unknowingly fell asleep and then

[Host, brace for impact, you are coming out]Oh, finally I will see the light of the outside world.I'm kinda exited for what am I gonna see first.[Babies have terrible sigh right after birth]Don't ruin my excitement.[But it's facts][Also, should I make you unconscious through till you are out?]No, it shouldn't hurt much anyway.[No, in fact, the only reason the baby doesn't die from the shock of the sudden pain is the fact that the nerves are underdeveloped. Your nerves are more developed so you will feel 85-90% of the pain, which isn't little by the way, and the ~5% decrease doesn't help much]I endured my limbs being torn of and my organs crushed, I'm sure this will be fine.[Your body got reset, so you are not used to any sort of pain right now, the reason you could endure it then is because of your pain receptors dulling.]Either way it's a no, since it's a good chance to get the 'pain resistance' skill.[Understood, but don't tell me I didn't warn you, also, you are about t

Turn of the lights, I want to sleep"I thought that as an adult you didn't need so much sleep, you said it yourself that sleep was overrated"Yeah, I take it back, it's awesome, especially if you slept for 6 hours a day for 5 months and are a baby."Taking your words back is quite convenient, no?"It is, especially in cases like these, please turn of the light and let me sleep though.WaitYou're not the system.Who are you, where are we, can I go to sleep now?"Finally a normal reaction, I was getting worried honestly. Though first let's answer your questions in order. ""Hi, I'm Anar'aya and you are quite brave, getting that many divine titles for a mortal is quite dangerous. If not for that skill of yours and that strange 'system', your soul would've exploded. A divine title is a divine title regardless of weather they are sealed or not""For your second question, we are in a separate space made by yours truly, and for the last answer, no, you can't"So why am I here?"If this was

This...What the fuck?Why is it...Why is so much of the blessing sealed?Where is the super op item I get after I accept the blessing?[Transferring items from any divine realm to here is expensive regardless of the strength of the god or mortal or the distance.] [No normal god would give something from the divine realm to a weak mortal, especially at this time when there is basically no energy here, making it 100x more expensive than it should be.][If the blessing wasn't sealed, you would die due to bearing so much pressure. Remember when Anar'aya-But the weapon...[This is not a fantasy][At least be happy you got a blessing at all and didn't die. All other mortals except you and the other four regressors would be dead just having the blessing for 1 second.]Wait, you said there are multiple divine realms.[Yes, but that's all I know. The only logical conclusion I can come up with is that for each god there is one divine realm that is perfectly suited for said god]So there are

Poor beard 3
Though he pushed me back…Not surprising, we’re talking about a potentially 3-ton tiger here, missing a leg and a wing doesn’t make this any lighter, thou his skin is getting lighter.And after that we started exchanging blows, I traded my axe with a corroding edge’s attacks for a bunch of air slashed and a claw that is thicker than my 3 fingers.And we started to fight on the ground, but in the sky on air.And slowly I understood one thing, I have a plan which is called 2 for 1, aka, I give you 1 really good wound and you have a chance to leave 2 lighter wounds one me.By this time all the pebbles stuck to the tiger, specifically his core and to not waste mana I tied them with a mana wire.I also started to give some of my attention on trying to cut of the damn cat’s tail.So I started to slowly make an earth blade, no hilt, just the blade and heat it up, though just by a bit, to make shaping easier.

Dueling against a beast 1
My first fighting scene, I was really excited to write it, but I had to redo it twice since it either became too short or too monotonous, even if you think this is bad, trust me, it could be far worse.Either way, wish you a wonderful and productive day.-----------------This means that the morning dew flower bloomed for the third time, I must be lucky.A dew flower has a low chance to produce a singular dew berry, which will mature by the first bloom, will be over-ripe by the second bloom and fully rotten by the third bloom.I also took this berry; I have some people that I must kill in order to make sure that Earth remains fully livableThere was a couple of psycho crazies who decided to make an extremely potent poison and they succeeded alright, but then they spilled the poison by accident and thus a third of Earth became unlivable for 2k years.They won’t be in this zone, but I can find them in Chine, so guess I’ll tr

It includes strength, agility, stamina, flexibility, resilience, physical regeneration and so on of the physical body.] [Physical force also represents how well you can use your body and how well balanced it is, but these aspects are much more minor and it won’t affect said minor aspects a lot, even if ‘Physical force’ is in it’s 10k+] That’s cool, I guess I mean now I won’t have to bother assigning each individual stat point to each stat, so that saves a lot, how high is ‘Physical force’ [Absorbing ‘Dexterous body’, ‘Regeneration’, ‘Hard skin’, ‘Hard body’] [Congratulations, you receive a 64 stat point increase in ‘Physical force’] [The allowance to ab

Power-up
THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I officially edited a chap before on this, but I will write it for those that either reach this chap before the other chap's edit: current MC stats are based on an avg. males before mana was introduced, same for skills, meaning the fireball skill is so high ranking becuase the max possible output is just that low.I've prepared plans to slowly point this out, but in webnovel I've faced a coment regarding this, so since I don't want you to think that this is a half-assed novel, I will say this for now. Thank you for reading this message and have a fun time reading. A/N ends<A time skip that is far too long than it should be>1 day left till the start of “The First Mana Wave”On that day a huge wave of mana will sweep the world and those that can’t hold out or have absolutely zero affinity for mana will mutate.I know this not only because I’m a regressor but also due to the fact

First official lesson
First, you make a box big enough to house the thing that you wish to cast plus a few centimeters to the sides, then you put in the thing that will hold the cast while it cools down and when you pour it.Then you do the same thing with the other half of the box or you fill half of the box.The next step is to carve the mold, weather it is by hand or just pressing a plastic, wax or a cast made of any other material into the sand, if the box is split in two, you can remove the cast, but if it’s one, then leave the cast, but make sure it is made of a material that burn really well and really quick.Then, if the box is separated in two, then you put it together and don’t forget to make a couple of wholes where you will pour in the metal.And then you take your molten metal and pour it.This time I used a wooden box and clay, plus a foam cast.My cast turned out unsuccessful, because the metal didn’t completely fill in a corner,
