Looking at my kill I don't force down the bile this time. After dunking my head in the stream I try regaining my composure, all be it on wobbler legs. 20 exp for risking my life oh joy. looking to my kill I get a prompt from the system
-Do you wish to loot 'Goblin'? Contents will be transferred over to inventory-
YES/NO
Mentally clicking the yes button. looking to my inventory I found that the dagger, its loot pouch, flask, and a small blue marble was inside. Focusing on the blue sphear.
-'Mana stone: found in all beings size and grade depends on the number of mana gates unlocked. Being a mana pool solidifies on death. floods the body with mana it contains if consumed. Easy mana restorative or extra mana to break open another gate'-
'Mana Gates? ill look into that later I have to decide what I'm going to do with this body. I've got no fire to cook it but, I'm a wolf know so wouldn't eating it raw be alright?' thinking it over I rather eat something that's less rancid. I'm not that desperate, maybe if I get over the psychological hurdle ill be able to chow down. Knowing other predators will smell the blood here soon or later. I continue my trek downstream. Looking at the other items I refill the fucks flask in the stream. learning to hold it steady was the real hurdle. looking at the contents of the loot back in greatly depressed nothing fucker was using it to hold his flask nothing else. tossing it out of my inventory I continue.
Hours later and reaching level 4 in stealth the sun is starting to set. Having no luck finding something to eat, I find a soft spot under a tree to rest. resolving to figure out this mana situation. Knowing about Anatomy due to my field of study, I try to find the mana in my body feeling 14 points within my body. one was Open watching it a blue stream was entering and exiting my body from it. Watching where the mana was flowing I found I gathering in a small area just like the marble just above my belly button.
I have some control over it it's really weird its like having holding sand in your palms very little slips through your fingers but quit paying attention spills away quickly. Gathering the mana and directing it to my cut. I tell it to heal.... nothing happens. frowning does it need a chant, I can't form words!
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
Forcing my self to be calm. Maybe it needs to be more detailed or the mana needs to know what to do. gathering mana around my cut again I start going over what is needed to happen. growing tissue attaching muscle back together. Feeling a warmness at the cut I look at not a lot but there was new tissue forming and the area around the cut was subsiding.

congratulating myself for learning how to use this damm mana I let sarcastic snort think I'm the shit. letting my mana refill after a couple of seconds I go back to healing my cut. emptying my mana I feel drained my head is fuzzy. letting my mana refill helps to clear my head. Looking towards the area it's completely healed no scar just a hairless line. Finishing the red bumps from those ants. thinking about doing the same to regrow the hair. Getting another notification and being amused at the system and my self I look to my mana gates.
Looking to the closest mana gate from my mana pool I rack my brain with how to open it. Getting inspiration for poking it with a stick I gather my mana and force it on the gate. results: not shit it felt like I using a water gun to make a hole through a brick. Maybe need to erode it away by constantly throwing mana at it. Fuck that shit it'll take to long.
Gathering my mana once again I slam it into the gate as hard as I cant. A vibration echoes throughout my entire body after doing so and it kinda hurt. Ok so ramming it won't work. wondering at what shapes I can make with my mana I create sharp needles, sending them flying. after my barrage, I see small cracks. Seeing my success I double down to send out count fewer mana needles. running my mana pool dry multiple times a large hole opens through the gate filling mana rush through I send one last attack. sending what remained of the gate flying.
A Large rush of mana soon enters through the open gate. Such an addicting feeling. Realizing I have a notification I open it.
