The first thing Kaylen did was to confirm the change of the Useless Essence Cultivation to Cycled Essence Cultivation. As for the second skill, there was a prize to be paid. The growth hormone has the effect of increasing the metabolism of an organism, but the side effect was the lifespan of the cells because of the faster cells division, higher chances of cancer development, and many more. Because of that, she used the 'perfect health scan' skill to check her DNA and internal organs in more details. The readings were interesting. Everything worked perfectly. She couldn't see anything wrong with her body, but she couldn't read her DNA. It was like something was protecting it. She knew it was there, but she couldn't access it.

Perk: Mana DNA construct. (Part of the Divine body.)

Advantages: Immortality, zero chances of cancer forming, cells perfection, full immunity to diseases and remarkably fast DNA evolution.

Disadvantages: Mana pool growth rate is 20 times slower from the average human and limited to 1 point of mana growth per day, becomes unstable if mana succeeds more than one point of growth. (To make changes on the DNA, you have to change your the DNA on your mana pool.)

That explained the reason why she wasn't able to change her DNA directly. She stopped using the skill and searched her mana pool inside her body. The book said that the mana pool was at the center of her brain, but her brain wasn't the same with what the author of the book had in mind. She kept searching for a few more minutes, but she came up with nothing. There was nothing in her head besides the runic cores. She even examined the intricate of the runes, but she had found nothing. The only thing she learned was the existence of the 'basic runes' wasn't absolute.

While Kaylen was trying to find what was going on with her body, Alica was walking with the maid to the basement of the palace. When they were finally there, she saw her mother, father, Molonym, and Elora waiting for her to arrive. After the maid left, Virion was the first to speak. "Now that we all here, can you tell us what is this all about Elora?"

Elora looked everyone in the eyes and then retrieved a syringe with a blue liquid in it and an attached needle from one of her spatial rings. "This is what I wanted to show you. I used Kaylen's healing spell and scan, to create this thing." Elora said while she moved the syringe with her hand around for more emphasis and for everyone to see. "Me and grandmaster Marian are the only people who know that something like this exists, and before you ask how we manage to create this thing in less than 8 hours, is because we used a custom array for time dilation. We made ten of those things, and we used cores with a power of one hundred." She paused, looked at all the confused faces, and continue with a grin. "This liquid can be absorbed by the body of a being and have a higher healing rate forever." Everyone looked at her not fully believing her, but Elora's smile only got wider. "And not only that, we manage to make the healing spell a tier four, and make it possible to use all the mana regeneration from the core for the healing." 

"Why do I think she is pulling our legs?" Asked Alica, but before anyone could answer her, Elora disappears without a sound from the basement, and ten seconds later appeared with a well-fed rat in her left hand. Elora showed to everyone the rat and then used the syringe on the rat. The rat gave a loud pained squeak and tried to remove itself from Elora's hand. When all the blue liquid was inside the rat, Elora removed the syringe from it and waited. The rat kept trying to escape Elora's grip, all the while the blue liquid visibly moved around the body via the blood vessels. Elora gave the rat a cookie for it to munch. A minute later, the rat's whole body had a low emitting blue hue around it, and with every second the blue hue kept on losing power. When there was no light anymore, Elora asked Molonym to bring her a sharp knife. After she finally had the knife, she processed on cutting the base of the rat's tail. She did it by pressing her thumb and the knife's edge on the tail, and with a swift press, she had the rat's tail bisected. Everyone flinched by the display, but no one said a thing, not even the rat. 

"The cookie had some narcotics in it, that's why the rat didn't even flinch," Elora explained while she moved the rear of the rat to the people that watched. The rat kept on eating it's cookie happily while blood was flowing from its severed tail. A few seconds later, everyone saw the rat's tail heal. One minute passed by, with everyone looking at a new rat tail like it was a legendary treasure. 

"And now you can see that I wasn't joking, and Kaylen's spell did more than half of the work. Grandmaster Marian and Me just had to make the core into liquid and make it self-repairable."

"I'm lost of words!" Said Virion happily, and all the other gave multiple nods, and then he added. "Can you explain to us how you manage to do that and how you came up with this idea?" 

Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.

"With pleasure," Elora said, and the explain for 30 minutes on how they came up with this idea and how they did it.

The entire idea was simple to understand. Elora and grandmaster Marian used four spells on the core to use. The first spell was Kaylen's healing spell, and with some advance runic stacking, Elora managed to make it more efficient.

The second spell was a one use only roadway on how the core could integrate itself on the body. The third was again a one time spell for the core to become a fluid while keeping the enchantments, and the fourth was the self-repair. In more details, the runic stacking worked by stacking the same advance rune on itself, but the mana cost could get higher and higher with every stacking. For example, the healing spell, it heals 1% of the total health of the person with the cost of 100 mana a second (and if mastered the cost could become 50 mana a second). (Kaylen has the perfect healer perk that makes the cost one-fourth of the original cost.) The original spell was classified (the system doesn't show the tier) as a tier zero spell, by duplicating the spell and then by expending 10 mana, you can fuse the two advance runes together and create a tier 1 spell and now it heals 2% of the total health for the same mana cost (if mastered the spell will only cost 33 mana a second). By doing the same yet again but by spending 100 mana this time, the spell can become a tier 2, and heal for 3% for the same mana cost (and if mastered the cost could become 25 mana per second). Tier 1: 10 mana, tier 2: 100, trier 3: 1.000, trier 4: 10.000,  trier 5: 100.000... That was what the system did when Kaylen hit 100 level on a spell, and the mana cost would be divided by ten because of her mastery. (Normal people can do that too, and that is only for spells.) Finally, Kaylen had 3 possible tier advancements for now.

The second spell was a way for the fluid to integrate permanently with the host (by attaching a small portion of itself on every cell), but it first had to become liquid. The third made the core fluid, and the fourth was to make sure the host had a part of the fluid in every cell.

"And that was how we came up with the idea... " But before Elora could finish what she wanted to say they heard manic laughter coming from upstairs. It was Kaylen, and she had managed to do many more things from just finding where her mana pool was.

(15 minutes before Kaylen's laughter.)

When Alica had left her field of view, she started poking her system from left to right, searching for a lead. She searched for five minutes before she got something. It was a simple tutorial for the system that she had, but the only thing it said was, 'voice command: detailed mode.' She said the command out loud, and then her system went off for a second and came back online. Next, she asked for the tutorial to come up again.

System Tutorial.

(This was written by Karma system. Patched system version.)

Due to inability and greediness of some gods, you were close to being spawned with far less thing from what you could get with your Karma points.

So, before you were meant to spawn, Karma system to the matter on its metaphorical hands.

First thing, the Karma system is sorry for what happened. This system was a sloppy work of an incompetent god. (He only wanted your Karma to grow in power.)

Second, the Karma system had only 5 seconds to fix the mess.

Third, the Karma system did some changes in the overall stats explanation, fixed errors and added more in-depth stats. (Can only be accessed when the system is in Detail version (which is far better.))

Fourth, due to this mess, the Krama system has added for the first nine levels one skill point for each level.

Fifth, you will be able to see more details of skills and spells.

Sixth, the Karma system read your memories before it spawned you and gave you the divine-body, and Mana DNA.

Seventh, the Karma system changed the advance language pack to the legendary one. (TL: DR You can speak with animals.)

Eighth, to unlock the first tier of the runic mind you will have to make your whole body a brain and use neuronic telepathy. (The Karma system had only this tip to offer, the original being with this skill never manage to progress it farther than that, and the Karma system judged that due to the incompetence of the gods to give this tip.)

Ninth, because you now have the Mana DNA, your mana pool around the DNA. (Worry not, the Karma system has placed a permanent shield around the DNA, but that comes with a cost of  -5 mana.)

Tenth, your system stores all your skills and spells.

Eleventh, identifying other beings and things will now give more details and faster.

Finally, the Karma system has made a connection with your brain and the Mana DNA. With this, you will be able to see your DNA as programming code. (Works with other beings too.)

Again, the Karma system is sorry. (Although it can't feel.)

-END-

That did explain a few things to Kaylen, but she didn't care for any of it. What she focused on was the DNA to code thing. She searched in her memory, and she did indeed find the DNA to code thing. She took her sweet time searching for the growth hormones, and when she finally found the functions for the growth hormones, she started laughing like a mad-woman. She proceeded ahead and adjusted some numbers and then saved it like it was a computer file. A blue screen came up asking her if she was sure she wanted to do those changes, and it even showed her what could the result be with those changes. Which was what she exactly wanted. She then agreed to the changes, and again a screen came up that said that it would need 5 seconds of her to be in sleep. She gave a command to go to sleep now and for the changes to occur.

Perk Fast metabolism. (Tier 5 maxed.) (Needs DNA evolution.)

Your body is now in ketosis. Brain factions are boosted by 20% while in this state.

Your healing rate is 5 times faster than usual.

Your daily need for calories increased from 2000 kCal to 10000 kCal.

Stats growth is five times faster (except mana).

And now it hit her, how was she going to get this many meals a day?
