Meditating & Grinding
I swiped my card on the door lock.
*BING*
The door unlocked and opened. I held the handle and opened the door inside. Inside was a cosy three room apartment.
The first room was the living room and kitchen. On the left was the kitchen and bench. On the right was the T.V. And couch. On the right side of the room was the bedroom.
Inside that bedroom was a queen bed. Nice...
Inside the same bedroom was a door to a bathroom and a closet. The bathroom was nice and clean, it had a shower, toilet and hot tub.
I wonder is she's putting these things intensionally?
The third room was a study room, I don't even know if people actually use it for its purposes. In th study room there was a computer?
I guess they are technologically advanced.
I took off my coat and hoodie and tossed it into the closet. I took off my shoes and chucked them to the side.
I relaxed and let myself fall into the bed.
...
I can't sleep.
I was wondering why I couldn't sleep. Then it hit me. I forgot about Haruka!
Oh.
Thats it? He's fine. I don't even know why I worried about him. He'll do fine.
I closed my eyes ready for the precious release of sweet sleep.
...
My sleep did come. I couldn't sleep. Why?
I thought back to the man I had met at the hospital who was the father of Rose. He had said that there was kids that could rival him of my age group. I felt weak. I am weak!
I needed to get stronger, but how?
Search online!
I walked to my study room and turned on the computer. I guess great minds think alike and is almost the same designs to the computers at Earth.
I searched the web and found a site about permanent mana enhancement. I clicked it and it showed a paragraph about the ways of permanent mana enhancement. It was a bit like cultivation.
I read it through a few more times before I started to meditate on the bed.
It was hard to try and clear my mind. But after 40 minutes I felt a sliver of mana. I focused on it and tried to pull it towards me.
It didn't work. I'm not trying hard enough!
I focused and focused.

NICE ONE!
This time I tried again.
I cleared my mind and focused. 30 minutes later, I felt another sliver of mana. This time the strength of the sliver of mana was a lot stronger.
I focused and focused.
And focused.
And focused.

[Mana-Control can now influence mana much more]
This is easy stats! I can grind them for a bit more and then I'll focus on my strength.
I started to focus. It didn't take long for me to see another sliver of mana. This one was a normal one, so it didn't take as much time.

I kept meditating and pulling in more mana that I had realised 10 hours had passed.

Upgrading this stat improves your mind's perception and thought process, regeneration and capacity of mana in your body and the control of it.

Woah! Another stat evolution? Guess I am much stronger than the others.
Whats the difference between the stats? I used 'Observe' on both the essence and wisdom stat.
==========
1 Essence = 2 Vitality
1 Wisdom stat = 1.5 Intelligence
=========
I then checked my stats to calculate how much vitality and intelligence I now had.

I guess I no longer have to train my essence or wisdom anymore. I've got a bunch of mana and health now, so I guess it's time to train my actual body.
Now its time for the mana enhancement part. I was only meditating before, but now it the real part.
The website said to build up your muscles by sending mana waves throughout your body.
This was the first time I had controlled mana, so I tried only the most littlest amount to send though my body.
Nothing happened. I brought a bit more mana into a wave and sent it through my body.
Nothing happened. I brought some more.
And then some more.
It eventually got to the point where it was starting hurt. So I stopped.
I went to the computer and read the website again. At that point where it started to hurt, stop increasing the amount. When you have found that amount, send it through your body 5 times per minute. Distribute the waves so your body can get used to the mana.
I did as the website told me to do and started sending waves. The first minutes was tiring and painful. Doing 5 waves per minute seemed excessive to me.

[Mana-Control levelled up!!!]
[Mana-Control is now level 4]
But, eventually my body got used to it. That was only after 3 hours and 900 waves.
I stopped. Outside, the sun was starting to set and I was tired and in pain. How do people keep doing this method?
It's excruciating!
