Day 47
I've spent the last 37 days cultivating my mana to the 30th level, which by the way is a prodigious level for a 1 and a half month old beast. According to my memories all newborn beasts in the forest are dumped in the "Nursery", which is basically just a huge survival match. Only those who have reached the 100th level are allowed to leave. Most of the times it takes beasts 40-50 years just to reach the 100th level, but once they reach it their cultivation speed increases rapidly since that is when they inherit the knowledge of their races cultivation technique. I however am a heavens defying being since I have access to all my inherited memories, and I can even teach my siblings our kinds cultivation technique with my mind magic. Now that I have reached the 30th level my mana pool has expanded to the level necessary for me to be able to practice the spells that are in my memory. The skills are fairly basic such as earth spike and fireball, but with these spells my chances of surviving are increased exponentially.
Day 62
Its finally hatching day. All 697 of my siblings will hatch, but by the end of the day only 5 will survive or in this case 6 since I plan to encase my egg in earth and just watch the fight. I've spent the last 15 days honing the basic spells for earth, fire, darkness, and wind since these elements are the ones I deem most necessary for my survival.
Day 63
Yesterday was quite amusing to watch. I mean like just three minutes after they all break out of their shells a ginormous bloodbath ensues as all the little snakes writhe about in a battle for superiority. I feel like a Roman watching the coliseum for the first time. After the five victors remain, I leave me protective shield of earth much to the surprise of my brethren I'm sure. They are mentally and physically exhausted from the fight so I decided to strengthen their attachment to me and create new ones between each other. Of course their attachment to each other would always be secondary to me. Today they have recovered, and I gave them names since they looked up to me. I decided to name them after the Greek Mythololgy since I always loved Greek Mythology. I named them Gaea, Zephyrus, Artemis, Nyx, and Oceanus. Gaea has a major affinity to earth and a minor affinity in life a rare element. Zephyrus has a major affinity to air and a minor affinity to fire. Artemis like her mythological counterpart is a deadly hunter with an affinity to the moon, which means that she can absorb the power of the moonlight making her pretty much invincible in the night against opponents similar to her level. Nyx has a major affinity to darkness and a minor affinity to wind, while Oceanus has a major affinity to water, and a minor affinity to earth. After that I sent them the instructions to Medusa's War Formula which is our inherited cultivation technique.
Stolen story; please report.
Day 64
I'm so excited. Today marks the day that I will begin to explore this world. I plan to go hunt a few demonic wind rabbits with my siblings while teaching them strategy at the same time. Most beast are not able to do anything but follow their instinct until they reach level 100, but apparently due to me meddling in their head all of my siblings are able to think freely and execute plans. Right after setting out we came across a meadow filled with demonic wind rabbits sitting there peacefully cannibalizing one of their own. To make it easier for them on their first hunt I raised a wall around the meadow to trap the rabbits. The reason beasts in this world hunt is not for food since absorbing natural mana can sustain you by itself, no it is because inside of every being that cultivates mana resides a mana core that when eaten can help increase the level of the eater. The five of them were able to quickly and efficiently hunt rabbits by surrounding them and then having Gaea dig underneath the rabbits to surprise it. Somehow Gaea was able to dig efficiently even without the help of earth magic. Goes to show how helpful just having an affinity to a element is. After a successful day of hunting They managed to reach level 15 while I also managed to improve 5 levels to get to the 35th level just from meditating while watching them hunt.
