Two years have passed since I started my training. Currently, I absorb a huge amount of mana inconsistently. According to the system, my environment can no longer support my training. If I start consciously absorbing mana, the level in the region will begin to fall, leading to its deterioration.

I asked the system if my stats were normal several times during these two years of training, and each time it responded that they were slightly above average for my species, aside from intelligence, which was vastly superior.
As for my brother and sister, he started talking as well as training. I guide them as best I can, preventing him from getting seriously injured. Most of the training consists of meditating in order to refine their connection with their element. I am particularly jealous of them because they have very powerful elements; my brother has the affinity of darkness and my sister has that of life and light. In our trio, the only one to have only one affinity is our brother, but even at birth he already has great control over me and my sisters. I think the gods felt sorry for him for only having one affinity, so we decided to grant him great control over his affinity.
After having summarized my evolution as well as given some data on my brothers, let's talk about the present. Since the environment can no longer support my training, I am relaxing in front of the entrance to our cave. We are towards the end of the year, and a soft layer of snow covers the landscape. In my former life, there was never snow in winter due to global warming and the fact that I lived in the city. We are a few days before the New Year, and I plan for our family to move once my sisters finish eating Éclat Vital.
For your cultivation, Éclat Vital is a magical plant. Here is his description of the system.
Vital Radiance: a magical flower of dazzling beauty, endowed with a mystical aura that emanates from the very essence of life. Its delicate petals have an ethereal hue, ranging from luminous blue to deep purple, creating a mesmerizing palette of colors that captivate all who lay eyes on it.
The heart of the vital radiance is a source of vital energy, pulsing gently like the beating of a heart. This energy, imbued with the essence of life, emanates from the plant, creating a positive energy field all around it. The flower's petals are adorned with luminescent patterns that appear to dance in harmony with the energy flows.
Vital Radiance thrives in magically charged environments, absorbing surrounding energies to nourish its own vitality. It has the unique ability to channel this vital energy into its pollen, imparting healing and revitalizing properties. Simply breathing in its delicate scent can soothe the mind and revitalize the body.
However, the Vital Shard is a rare and delicate plant, flowering only under specific magical conditions. Botanists and magicians eager for its power often embark on quests to discover its secret locations, as this magical flower is considered a rare treasure with exceptional virtues.
My sister's goal in eating this flower is to improve her connection with her life element, because even if one possesses an affinity, there is a degree of connection and control over the element possessed: the higher the degree, the greater the power, and the less the mana used. In a fight, the person who has the highest control and connection can prevent their opponent from using their affinity, but this is only possible if they have the same affinity or the opposite affinity.

In my case, I have a 100% connection with the lightning and water elements, and around 75% for the rest. Regarding control, there are 4 major levels that distinguish the level of control over its named affinity. Thus: minor, major, perfect, and total realization. I would like to point out that we can control an affinity even if we have not reached the first realization, and that total realization is only held by the gods, as well as the divine beasts.
As for my brother, he went hunting early this morning. About 6 months ago, I set up a schedule that required a member of our family to hunt for everyone during the week.
In order that they do not become profiteers, this also allows them to increase their levels. I warn you right away: we do not know who our parents are or if they are still alive. I admit that I didn't think much about the matter. Despite these two years in this world, I was much busier with my training and protecting my family.
(A/N: Even though our little protagonist informs us about his situation as well as that of these brothers, it is only so that we learn more about the world, magic, and their lives. He is currently quietly in the process of taking a nap in front of their cave.
Suddenly, my ears picked up a noise about ten meters from me. When I listened to it, I heard a mass being dragged in my direction. With the little information obtained, I knew that it was my brother who was bringing back the meal for noon, so I decided to go into the cave to warn my sister.
It didn't take more than 5 minutes for our meal to be served, and even less to finish it. While I was chomping on the bones of our meal, my brother was digesting the magic core. It was a rule that I had put in place to prevent my cute brother and sister from fighting over who could have the core. I decreed that the person who hunted the meal could absorb the core, and if someone did not follow the rule, he would be beaten half to death by me. Since then, no one has dared to break the rule to make sure of it. I beat them right after decreeing it. I know it's a bit authoritarian, but, believe me, if I hadn't, they would be beaten every day.
Based on my sister's energy level, it would only take her two to three days to finish digesting the life shard, then we can finally move, I don't want to say, but the cave has become a little too small for the three of us; after all, we measure 50 cm at shoulder height for a length of 2 meters.
According to the system, our growth is relatively stable, and when we reach 4 years old, we stop growing; this causes the end of our infant phase and begins that of childhood, which accompanies the growth of our horns; at the adolescence phase, we develop our tails and our wings; and around the age of 100, we reach maturity; from there, we stop developing and aging.
After finishing my meal, I'm going to go for a quick walk to eat some kernels. Even if I can't work out anymore, there's no need for me to stop consuming kernels. It didn't take long (20 minutes) to find myself on top of a Tauronchasse corpse surrounded by lunar wolves. Each body was impaled by a stone spike at head level to avoid causing pain to my prey.
After this successful hunt, I began searching the bodies and eating their cores, so I could increase my mana. As always when consuming core, a warm feeling spread through my body, but still being aware of my surroundings, I decided to return home to rest and digest this new amount of mana.
Since my last hunt, one day and a morning have passed. While I was taking a light bath, a sudden amount of mana exploded inside our cave. I immediately thought of my sister and went to check if everything was going well. I was relieved when I saw him lying on his side with a pool of drool under his head. After this sudden fright, I stood in front of the entrance to the cave and howled like a wolf to warn my brother that he had to return as soon as possible so that he could move in the coming hours.
It didn't take long for his return; at the same time, my sister had just finished absorbing the burst of life. After checking that our affairs were settled, we started running towards the north-east. The objective of this move was to find a suitable location in the center of the forest to establish our new home. It is imperative to be close to a river, in an area richer in mana, and which is not too close to the fairies of the wood. According to the system, the wood fairies are a monster, very dangerous, and territorial, not hesitating to massacre the fauna around their colony.
I already killed their scouts in the past; they are terrible. I found myself immobilized for 2 weeks after the battle, and I gained 2 levels as well as increasing my Magic Defense skill to rank D.
We've been deep in the forest for three days already, and I've already had to go around three colonies of wood fairies. It was an ordeal at each colony, but it was worth it. I just spotted a cave in a wall, which seems to suit my conditions. I smell water in the cave. There is no fairy for miles, and the entrance is hidden by some kind of vine. I informed my brothers of the discovery.
After verifying that no dangers were hidden in the cave, I began to mobilize my affinity for the earth to remodel the cave. My goal was to smooth the walls and create a small pool so that I could drink more easily from it. the water source inside, create two new extensions, which will serve as a bedroom and storage room. After 2 hours of working on it, our new house was finished. Satisfied with my work, we decided the day was over and it was time to sleep.
The next day, at dawn, I went back to working on absorbing ambient mana until the New Year.
(A/N: a time jump was placed at the beginning of the chapter in order to avoid repetition in the plot. Our little hero, during two years of training, only meditated in the morning in order to accumulate mana and in the afternoon fighting against several groups of beasts, which will be introduced in future chapters, while the brothers and sisters spent the majority of the time sleeping and eating, the classic life of an infant. For info, Vulparia only becomes a child at the age of 4, that is to say that our MC is an adult stuck in the body of a baby. Despite his intensive training, he cannot go and explore the world without learning what it is. brother and sister to defend themselves, be wary of strangers, particularly humans, as well as to respond to the problems they encounter with wisdom. From this point on, onrythme will accelerate so that our MCdesceller can use his skill alone and leave the world, which is dangerous.
