7 - Mana

[DIVINITY SUCCESSFULLY INTERACTED WITH MANA]

[MANA COMPREHENSION ATTAINED]

[MANA MANIPULATION ATTAINED]

I felt a growing seed within my head like something gave life within my brain and then it fizzled and spread out which made my brain itch but still what felt like the knowledge I never had was now within my head.

[DING]

[MANA FORMATION ATTAINED]

"Wait what"I shouted out trying to stand only to realize that my feet were still broken therefore sending me back to my ass.

[COMPREHENDING THE TRUE FORM AND MEANING OF MANA BASED ON BEING ABLE TO FORM THE ENERGY. AFTER ALL, MANA IS DIVINITY SHATTERED AND BROKEN DOWN INTO THE SMALLEST UNITS. ]

[GETTING TO THIS WITHOUT ME, COLOR ME AMAZED. THOUGH YOU ARE AMAZED ]

Ignoring the confusion in the words I just focused on the problem at hand. My legs...wait what.

I was literally getting shocked by everything and it was already tiring.

" You're a God man. Deal with it" with the self scolding I stared at my legs. The bones were slowly inching back in as I watched. At the pace, it would take a while to mend. After a while, I couldn't wait seeing as I was in a burned-down forest where a flaming meteor had crashed.

Who knows how many people were headed here already?

Hand extended I tried willing my divinity again only to notice something else. It was a new familiar energy flowing in my avatar body.

"Mana."

Refusing to be shocked again I pulled at it. Unlike divinity, it was smooth and flowing like a fixed matter out into the open. Once I placed it on my legs I watched as the blueish light turned a bright green right as I gave it the thought to accomplish.

[DING]

[SKILL HEAL HAS BEEN CREATED]

[INNATE SKILL REGENERATE HAS BEEN NOTED]

I watched as my bones quickly popped back in and the flesh and blood flowed back to place. Only the liquid puddled at my feet remained.

Standing finally I took a good look around me and winced. The area for miles was burned and razed to the ground. Husks of trees stood blackened while the ground was white with ash and cracked from torn earth.

"Well, that's, just.. damn". I muttered.

Turning I pointed to different sides wondering which path to take. Finally deciding I just picked a random route and headed left.

Well actually I scanned the area and to my right farther away was a sea so of course left it was.

As I walked my range expanded while behind me the range left the zones that were at its edges while I moved east from there.

I walked at first then jogged before blowing out into a full-on sprint eager to test out this body's limit. It felt surreal, the wind shot past me in speed, my hair blowing up and tbe friction pelting my bare skin as I finally shot out of the burned-down region.

" Bare. Shit, I'm naked. What to do? Right, I'm a God so just make myself clothes. " pulling out the mana I mentally formed what I wanted and then pushed my will into it.

[DING]

[CREATION ERROR ]

[MANA NOT EFFECTIVE]

[DIVINE ENERGY ADVISED]

In other words. anything that was in creation or forming of something from nothing needed divinity.

Shrugging I released the mana and picked out the divine energy. Watching as the familiar whitish-gold stream flowed out and formed a tall shape I smiled. The shape solidified into a long-sleeved shirt and broke off from the bottom part that reformed into a pair of pants and briefs and boots.

The fact I was in a mana world didn't mean I would wear ancient things. Adorning the outfit I smiled and then walked on. The shirt was white with a weave of gold running down the side of the button. The shirt wasn't too tight to show my form but enough that it didn't have tbe wind blowing into it.

The pants were white as well as the boots. Only the briefs were black not that it mattered.

With all my running and sometimes jogging while avoiding trees and branches in the green and purple forest I finally found a village several miles from my point of descent. Well, my radar found it first before I did.

Having already scanned the village I knew it was not somewhere I should settle down. So I turned left and ran again. Without realizing I had just saved myself from a whole shitload of godlike problems

I ran for a long while, ran till finally my stamina which was at an all-time high finally depleted. Fatigued I halted and then without a word more I slumped to my knees.

My eyes found the skies and I sighed at the sight of the dark sky. The day had already gone whilst I ran. Apparently my godly sight had kicked in while the world dimmed and I had not noticed the darkening environment.

My stomach made a tightening and I frowned looking down at it. Shrugging off the slight pinch in my abdomen as I saw it I rested back on a tree and closing my eyes slept off.

'Hope tomorrow would be a busy day. I really need to get started on divinity farming.'

I barely slept for how long when the most annoying screams woke me from my slumber. Having sensitive hearing and also a good perception was bad in this sort of situation as the scream didn't just come to my ears but also flowed into mind via my radar.

God or not. No one likes being woken halfway through a much needed sleep. I mean I hadn't slept for 'me' knows how long and the first sleep I manage to try to get I'm awakened by some damsel in distress.

Rising while dusting off the sand on my already stained white trousers I looked to the direction of the still occurring scream and then extending my range I accessed the situation.

And then I sighed.

"I got woken up because of the classic abuse in the forest scene. " I muttered facepalming.

Then I froze as my radar picked up other things. More things that had me thinking and my mind spun as the gears rolled.

[I DIDN'T EVEN THINK US THIS SMART] the voice spoke.

"Yeah. Neither did I. Must be godly perks." I answered. "Let's go farm".
