30 A Clear Growth In Strength

The gasps of shock echoed out of Hael's lips as he jerked his head upwards, the blue color of his irises rapidly changing to that of pitch blackness.

It was like volts of lightning being passed into someone's body, and it came in such an incredibly sudden way that he had no way of preparing his mind...

[Don't worry, you'll only be in this state for the next three hours and you'll never feel it anymore. Stretch out both your hands and inhale even more Mana, but don't exhale them and drag them to the flow that is currently ongoing in your body.

Do this now, and save yourself endless nights of slow progress at a snail's pace!] The system complimented as Hael stretched out both palms into the air, and the Mana that suddenly materialized was like a dam being poured open...

ARRRRGHH

Against the sudden assault of such a crazy quantity of Mana, Hael was immediately knocked out cold, yet his pitch-black eyes were wide open, and his hands were still stretched out into the air, the Mana around him flooding into his body in endless amounts.

THUUUUUUUUMP

THUUUUUUUUUUUUMP

THUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMP

His heart began beating like that of a newly awakened thousand-year-old slumbering monster, as the nine-petal runic image on Hael's forehead once again materialized and right now one of the nine petals was giving out a dark glow, illuminating the room in a color of astral blue and dark.

[I know I might have rushed things quite a little too fast and forcefully induced that painful state on you. But it will all be worth it in the near future...] The system said out loud to Hael, but unfortunately, he was long gone, dark blood slowly oozing out of his nose, ears, and blackhole of eyes, and soon a putrid matter began oozing out of Hael's pores, the longer he stood in that format, a bad smell reeking throughout the room...

-----------------

Golden rays of sunlight peeked through the glass windows, illuminating the room in specters of golden energy, which concentrated on the figure currently lying on the ground, arms and legs flailed on all sides, and covered in vast amounts of strange dark gooey matter.

Due to the burning light of the sun, his eyelid suddenly began quivering and in the next second, a pair of clear astral blue eyes was revealed to the world as Hael opened his eyes and immediately sat up from the ground.

Looking around the room, and strangely at the putrid matter covering his body, his brain slowly tuned him to the happenings of the previous night as the golden notification panel suddenly appeared in front of his face...

[Congratulations, Mission: Channel Mana throughout your body for 6 hours has been successfully completed.]

[+100 Exp has been awarded.]

[A New Attribute Panel has been created: Mana points]

"Hmm, so I finally completed the mission!?" Hael asked in shock. He didn't even know how he had passed out last night.

[Yes, You did. Why don't you open your system interface to check your increase in growth...] The system nudged as Hael willed it...

'Activate System Interface'

[System Interface.]

[Name: Hael Winterlock]

[Title: None]

[Level: 1]

[Exp: 100/100]

[Hp: 100/100]

[Energy: 30(+10)]

[Mana Points: 30]

{Criteria for leveling up accomplished. Would you like to level up?]

The system asked.

"Yes..." He replied and in the next second, a slightly cold flow moved around his body, causing quite a bit of rigidity to his body. But the feeling was quick to disappear...

[Congratulations; Host has successfully leveled up to level 2]

{+10 Attribute points have been awarded...]

[Would Host like to distribute his attribute points?]

"Yes?"

[Attributes]

[Strength: 7(+5)]

[Agility: 7(+5)]

{Perception: 7(+5)]

[Intelligence: 10]

[Charm: 3]

"Host can input his attribute point to his stats..."

"Wait, what are those numbers put in those brackets, like the one in that energy, and the one in my direct stat points?" Hael asked seeing the anomaly in his stats.

[Those are due to your cultivation last night. Your strength, agility, and perception grew up by an extra five points, and your natural energy also improved by 10! They are bracketed to show it was an outside source of power, in other words, from your cultivation...]

The system replied to him as Hael shook his head before focusing back on his stats points.

"It seems my intelligence and charm do not increase with Mana cultivation, right?" He asked, noticing the absence of those bracketed numbers.

[Yes.]

"Then, the only way to improve them will be my stats points, I can't let them lag behind at that, especially my intelligence..." Hael muttered and then he made his choice...

"Add, 5 points to intelligence, 3 points to strength, and the remaining two points to agility."

He ordered.

[Points have been successfully inputted...]

[Attributes]

[Strength: 15]

[Agility: 14]

[Perception: 12]

[Intelligence: 15]

[Charm: 3]

{Attributes points: 0}

"In just a night, most of my stats have doubled by two!" Hael mused out loud to himself, clenching his hand into a fist and releasing them.

While he didn't suddenly gain bulging muscles, and 10 packs, he could feel the double increase in his strength as clear as day, something that was close to otherworldly for him.

But soon, the putrid smell entered into his nose as he turned to look at the dark impurities present on the ground.

"And what are these?" He asked with furrowed eyebrows, shifting back away from them...

[Those are the impurities that were removed from your body during last night's cultivation...]

"I can't let her see this..." Hael mused out loud as he looked around the room and soon found what he needed, and immediately he got to work, washing away the dark impurities from the floor, till the tiles were once again sparkling white and immediately he headed to the toilet and flushed the impurities away.

Once he was done with that, he immediately made his way to the bathroom to get ready for the day when suddenly the sound of knocking rang out in the room.

"Wake Up sleepyhead, today is the big day, you have 30 minutes to come out or I'll be returning back with a chainsaw. And don't you dare pretend you don't know what that means!" The voice rang out before the sound of walking moved farther away.

"Tch," Hael snorted before walking to the bath.
