'It would be nice if i could view my stats... well i guess I'll check ot this book'

I pick up the book that is now laying on the ground covered in rabbit meat dripping with blood.

'It's soaked and and the title is unreadable... let's see if the insides are any better'

As soon as i open the book to look for anything usefull another message pops up in my head.

-would like to learn the skill internal》external mana condensation and movement-

'This time i get a choice... maybe i will go with yes-

As soon as i think yes knowledge of the skill flows into my head while simultaneously the book dissapears. 

'I didn't feel anything that time, but the i know how to do it now'

'Basically i just push the mana or is it manas... he always said they were different, anyways i push it out anywhere and condense into a bal it while puting more in then keep condensing until it reaches a suitable weight then move it with my thoughts'

'There are additional notes after this, maximum movement speed is set by total mana capacity... so the more mana i think with the faster it goes, weight of ball affects speed... the more it weighs than i can lift physicaly the slower the speed, amount of ball's and balls range depends on skill level... again it would be nice to see my stats'

I sigh and start to attempt the skill, i pull some mana/manas down from above, i push it into the palm of my hand and start condensing.

I keep at this until it heavy enough that i can barely keep my arm up and all this time it hasn't gotten bigger than a ball bearing. 

I let go and think for it to stay there, it does it is floating at eye level infront of me, it doesn't seem to have a definitive color and niether gives of light nor sucks it in.

'Rather than the manas where it feels like a seperate thing, this ball feels like an extra limb, it requires no more thought to move than my arms or legs'

I start to move the ball at different speeds it goes slower than my walking pace when i put in the minimum amount of mana to move it.

As i put in more mana very slowly to move it, it picks up speed tremendously fast to the point where it's moving so fast that i couldn't see it.

'If i couldn't feel where the ball is like it's a piece of me i wouldn't be able to keep track of it, but at this speed and with this weight and density and the seemingly negligible amount of mana used... this things pretty op, and i can get more of them, i wonder if i can combine it with stage three, huh the mental stat boost are already working for me i would have never thought of doing that before'

I turn around looking for a test subject ' single pig spotted commencing test one'

I send the ball fly faster than a bullet towards the pig, it goes straight through the pig make a perfect hole all the way through, while the ball still keeps its shape but feels just a tiny bit lighter.

As soon as the pig dies something rushes from the pig into the ball then into me.

'So it worked and it was automatic i didn't even try to pull the magiks... awesome but the convenience is still suspicious its like the first thing i do just happens to be right every time... if i didnt wake up in pain i would think I'm dreaming'

'So what did i get 30 xp some more percents but this time only vitality strength and fortitude... is that a stat, 5 money's,  some pig meat and and a bag of storage 100kg'

I look down to the familiar sound of slopping meats and this time theres no meat falling out of my pockets instead its coming out of a small leather bag tied to my belt

I smile as i untie the bag from my belt and start pouring the meat out 'good atleast my pockets won't be filling with meats any time soon'

After a few seconds of pouring the bag seems to dissapear as it flows into my hand and then its gone and now theres a kind of new half filled spot inside my head.

'Did i just absorb the bag... i can absorb magic stuff and make there powers my own i just got more op this is like some weird summoned hero fiction from japan or something, well that explains the shades' 

I try to think about taking out all the meat from the storage 'ill stick with that name for now' and it just starts flowing out of my hands.

'This would be gross if i wasn't already half soaked in blood, i guess I'll just start killing shit with the ball while walk to a water source'

As i start walking i set the ball the start moving through every living creature within 50 meteres of me ' ambiguous automatic instructions like this work i hope i can add specifics'

I set the ball to not go through anything smaller than me and it follows the command, i then set it to go through only white creatures bigger than me and it does.

'Great just got rid off freindly fire' i set it back to go through every living creature within 50 meters.

After about a minute of walking absorbing bags of storage and puting usefull stuff in them for later while dumping out a different message from the xp loot money level and stat mod messages pops up, by the way it seems that i get 1 more stat point added on to gained with each successive level (level 1- 1 stat for all   level 2- 2 stats for all    level 3- 3 stats for all and so on)

Skill level increased - internal》external mana condensation and movement- is now level two

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

I stop and start to make a new ball i also pull in the other one the put more mana into it.

The result is two which according to my magic shades eyes are 500kg balls of mana still the size of ball bearing.

'500 kg i could never lift that normaly these stat boosts from levels and these mods are ridiculous'

I nod to myself setting the ball's to the same procedure but this time within 100 meteres which seems to be my new range.

I start walking again continuing on with absorbing bags dumping junk and storing stuff that looks usefull, ignoring the messages but counting the level and skill level notices

By the time i reach the closest water source , a small river an hours walk away, a small screen appears in the corner of my vision counting down from 1000 for everthing i kill.

 When the counter gets to 1 i stop the balls and bring back to me.

It sit down at the river and jump in and start rinsing the blood out of my clothes.

'so if i have been counting correctly i should be atleast level 40 by now and skill level should be five' 

'And with all these stat boosts from leveling and all the percentage modifires i have my physical stats be atleast ten thousand, but for the mental stats it feel like after a certain point i was getting smarter slower and slower with each level and kill but the stats were still rising at the same rate'

I start to make more balls infont of me , i get to five balls before i can't make anymore so pile in the mana and keep condensing it, at the point where i can just support them i stop so they don't lose speed.

According to my magic id eyes they weigh 24.5 tonnes each ' i can lift almost 25 tonnes thats just stupid, i better check how fast i can move and what the range on these are now' 

I push one of the balls out as far as it can, it reaches about 800 meters before it stops ' so it doubles in range withe each succesive skill level... i wonder what the level limit is, ok i should find somthing to test my speed on that hill is about an hours normal walk away so it should be about 5km away'

I set my eyes on the hill and start running, less than thirty seconds later I'm standind on top of the hill where i satrted.

'30 seconds to do 5km... thats atleast 360km an hour that's deffinitly not normal, and I'm not even puffed so vitality and fortitude are looking pretty good aswell, i wish there was something to test my new mental skills on other than math I'm already good at that its just gotten a lot faster... now that i notice it everything seems a lot slower than before ahh wait there it goes it back to normal again, hmmm maybe if i... hah it worked i can slow down my perception time to move and think faster i just keep getting more and more op, theres got to be a catch... thats right I'm in a blood sports arena type thing in the middle of a game to probaly find lmgds, blue trap and red, i don't see how they might be precious,  it could be some so of time looping thing like they know me in the future maybe thats why those two were bowing to me'

' I'll figure that out later first I've got to find them, now how much storage do i have, ok i see ahhuh about 240 tonnes of space'

'Why the hell does it even go by weight shouldnt it be volume that makes no sense' "sigh"

'Well theres not really much to do here im clean and dry theres no skill books to read and none of the items I've other than the bags are magic, its just random shit from tools to weapons to consumables to random crap some I've never seen before or couldn't even imagine a use for but i kept everything that wasn't shit and i kept a bit of the meat to test if it would stay warm in my storage and when i took it out later it still was i dont think it stops time that would be to convenient,  so I've kept a bit of meat from each different creature just incase'

I look for something to kill and spot a cow grazing nearby so i send a ball towards it as fast as i can as one final test.

A meter away from me it breaks the sound barrier ' if it weren't my ridiculous fortitude i think i would've be blown back or atleast deafend'

Then there is a tearing sound and for a brief grey streak appears along the path of the ball through the cow ending at the the ball on the other side of the cow 'if my perception of time weren't slowed i would have seen nothing' there is a cauterized hole through the the cow in a perfect shape of the ball. 

Then a message pops up infront of me as the counter in the corner of my vison drops to zero
