2024-10-29 19:42:56After running for a while, I just realized what kind of conditions I’m living in.
The cold never affected me much since I quickly gained ‘cold resistance’, so I didn’t understand just how difficult my training was.
Though when I get back home, I’ll act traumatized and then spend time to learn meditation.
In my past life there was a group who raised mediation to Ex rank and even though their meditation skills, whose full name was ‘Inferior Rejuvenating Meditation’, the effects were amazing.
Nobody with an outstanding meditation method raised theirs to the same rank, probably the difficulty of raising a skill with a quality.
People graded them on the benefits they receive based on the rank and the best analysts never judge a skill based on their current rank, unl

I, myself, saw shit that might put war to shame, like torture so brutal, that it should be borderline forbidden by all, places where every living being is corrupted, whether it be through magical means or not and so on.After seeing it all, you become desensitized to it and it no longer affects you, but until then, trauma and nightmares about that shit would be the norm.*Sigh* I should just go sleep, depressing talk before bed-time is bad for your dreams, though I don’t remember my dreams so that is that.The next morning, we both we’re sleeping in.For example, I woke up in the middle of the day, while dad was sleeping an hour longer than me, guess partying like that takes it toll on you.Though the party was fun.Then we had lunch and both of us went out

Anno Domini, 4th century [1]<Saint Nicholas' POV> [2]Ho, ho, hoI finally have time to spread warmth and joy to the poor and the sicklyFor now, since I only have a horae (the ancient roman equivalent of 2 hour), so for now I'll send a guard to deliver some gifts and offer a prayer to our Lord.It's sad how little care the other members of the Church [3] care for the poor as the majority only worry about not losing status, power and money and only the minority truly care.I'll send a letter to the pope about this concern, I hope he won't ignore this letter as usual.*Sigh* I hope I'll get more donations from the nobles this time, last year only small minority donates, most of which are from poorer countries or seek to curry favor with the pope, cardinals and other influential people.How did we fall like this, at first, we were relatively pure, but now corruption has spreadOh, almighty God, why did you decided t

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,

A leisurely 'hike'
I 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 usefulBut ‘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

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.

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
