Advancing!

It's been about a month, and I gotta say, I became strong a bit too quickly. If you've been wondering how I've been eating, the answer is quite simple actually. It costs about 100-200 mana to create a simple healthy meal. The power of creation is really helpful!

During my training, I stored all of my mana and trained only my body. I'm not sure if it was a bad move but I've obtained 153357 mana in my grimoire. I don't know what to make with it though. I want to upgrade my creation magic, however I've also been eyeing a certain magic ability, which is lightning control! I can simply make any attacks with lightning. How cool is that!? I've always been a fan of lightning and it only costs 70k. Pretty cheap for full control over an affinity. I also want to save up for wood magic control. I can use it like the mokuton from naruto. However it costs an astounding 200k. It apparently costs this much do to the fact that it doesn't assist in this world.

With the daily 2% increase I can get around 3000 per day. Adding my 5000 mana it would only take a bit. However I can save 20k if I upgrade my creation magic. Alas, I think I will simply wait as it is much easier to gain mana when my balance is high. Before I was only gaining a measly 100 mana with the income.

Now onto my stats!

They are quite impressive. I've grown twice as strong from before. I asked the system about this godly growth and it is because my talent. I was shocked when the system told me that my talent also includes my body! I also got a new stat after my incident with the mana pressure. That leads me to believe I can get a defense stat if I get hurt enough. Although I personally don't want to train in that stat, I might be able to find an ulterior way to get a better defense.

Once I get beyond 100 strength, I can train a skill I stole from a novel I read. Basically, it is the fusion of mana in each of your cells, other than just keeping all of the mana in a type of dantian. This should easily increase my mana resistance.

Other than that I saw a couple of people meditating down the mountain. Surprisingly no one came up here yet. My social awkwardness kept me from going down there and greeting them. I even saw an elf which surprised me. The system said they usually keep to themselves. My guess is that there are rules set here to keep people from attacking other people.

Anyways, I am now strong enough to go into the next level! Apparently I am currently in the fourth level, so onward to the fifth!

Walking through the barrier, I was able to keep myself from not falling over. I simply sat down and started to absorb mana into my body.

'How long will I have to wait in here until I can move normally?'

[Wait for 2 hours host, and then train in mana control until C-rank.]

'2 whole hours huh. It's quite boring sitting down doing the same thing over and over again. Well I need to do this.'

2 hours passed and I was expecting the same feeling from before, boy was I wrong. The mana actually hurt pouring into my body. It felt as if limiters that were there for a reason suddenly broke. I quickly asked the system if anything was wrong and the system said something that kinda ticked me off.

[This is where you begin your mana control lessons.]

How mean is my system! They knew that this would hurt me but still made me do it without warning! The hardest part is keeping my mana control when I am in pain! The pain easily is distracting me!

The only thing that gave me comfort was the fact the system said this wouldn't kill me even if I couldn't control it.

Another 2 hours passed. Currently, I am lying on a comfy bed I created for 1000 mana. That is a waste you say? I don't think so. I need comfort right now. My pillow has to be soft so I can easily cry into it. But I did increase my control. I'm officially C-rank now... Yaaay...

That might have been the worst thing I have ever felt. I was like air went into my veins. Even though I never felt that, I'm guessing it is painful.

Oh yeah, for your information the gravity increased to about 10 times. Quite the difference. I'm gonna take a break from physical training and simply train my control for a while. Might make the rasengan or something. The best way I can think of training control is by making multiple threads of mana come out of my body and making them stay there. If I get good enough I might even be able to make them tangible. That's my goal for now. I'm going for A-rank! Though I'm not sure how long that will take. If there was water or walls here, I might try to stand on them. I might as well steal all of my training techniques from Naruto. After that I might even be able to fly! But I think I am simply being optimistic.

Some good news was that I reached D-rank with magic resistance! I also learned that I can upgrade my resistance and all of my other stats too! However, I don't think I will do this as it isn't that hard to train, even though it will be slower. Plus this way I can save up mana for cooler things.

I did find out something I am excited for. I can upgrade my luck for a low price of 50k. I'm not sure how much it will upgrade it by, but I am sure it is worth it. Luck is extremely good to have.

As I was in my monologue I notice something in the distance. Wait, is that...
