"But before that, I better learn some attacking techniques.", he concluded. "How can I reach level 2 fast?" he asked
[The area of your domain and the races present in it are rapidly increasing]
[You currently gain 1 Exp/Day]
[You now have 93 Exp points. So, after seven days, you will level up]
"7 days! The wolf might already evolve by then," he added, "Any more ways I can gain Exp."
[Gaining New Skills, Skills Mastery, Skill Utilization, Situation control, Tactics, Winning, Taming will likewise provide you some experience points]
.
After considering the facts, he learned about his skills; in front of a tree floated, hands made up of stones, he closes his hand, "Take this! Stony Fist!!"
BAM!
He bashed the tree with all his might. The stones in his hands scattered again. "Still too weak,"
Remaking his hand, he punched the tree again, "Stony fist," he continued the process,
"Stony, Fist!" "Stony, Fist!" "Stony, Fist!"
New Skill: [Stony Fist Level. 1] Obtained
"Hehe, just like a game,"
[Your naming sense is just blowing my mind]
"No need to be impressed so soon; new ideas are just rushing through my mind," he exclaimed
"Next up is heat drain," Using his two-hand, he clutched the enormous timber, "Heat Drain!" and stimulated his skill.
After a while, nothing happened.
Disappointed, he let go of his Grip; on the spot where he grabbed the tree, the color was unusual.
"The skill drains heat from a substance, but it seems to take a lot of time; well, it should be better after leveling up," he deduced
[You also have another skill you have yet to name]
"Really, which one?"
[When you were throwing the stones to increase your dexterity, you picked up a throwing skill]
"I understand. Its name shall be Stony Throw.",
[…]
Continuing, he tried to learn his third skill
He sought to figure out most things himself, from the name of the skill he derived its functions,
"If the function of the skill is to compress heat, then in what way could I use it?" he wondered and thought about it.
After a while, he grabbed to stone to test his skill, "Let's see, Heat Compression." there was no visible change within the stone. "Did its temperature change?"
Boom!
The stone suddenly exploded, destroying his hands. The fragments passed through his actual body, doing no damage. "I see. The skill caused the rock to trap heat within itself rapidly. Rather than melting because of rapid gain of heat, the stone exploded," he realized.
[Hidden Achievement: Use over 5 Skills {Completed}]
[You have been Granted 2 EXP]
"Oh wow, so there are even hidden achievements," he realized
After that, he continued repetitively using his skills. The day passed, so did the night.
Within that time,
[Power increased by 1]
[Grip increased by 1]
[Dexterity increased by 1]
[Stony Fist Leveled Up] *2
[Stony Throw Leveled Up]*2
[Flash Leveled Up]
[Heat Drain Leveled Up]*2
[Heat Compression Leveled Up]*2
[Vessel Control Leveled Up]
After his vessel control leveled up, he felt two more transparent limbs added to his body.
[You can now form two more parts]
"2 more parts, hmm," he wondered for a while
The dust from the ground gathered around his body, and soon, the stones formed a wing-like design. The wings were like that of a bat with a span of over 10 inches.
[You can fly and float naturally. Why even make wings?!]
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
"Then what you want me to make more hands? Imagine if someone saw a ball having four hands. That's weird," he added, "Besides, look at these wings; they are lit!!!"
[Who will even see you? There are only monsters here]
"It's not about others seeing. It's about being cool in your own eyes," Sirius continued, "Besides, I will make change them into something else during battle."
[You have been granted 3 Exp for low skill mastery]
----------------------------------------
After two days of continuous grinding,
----------------------------------------
[You have been granted 2 Exp for Domain Evolution]
"That's 7 Exp. Now I should have around 100 EXP,",
[You level Up]
"Yes, finally after two days," he cried in joy.

"Holy..! So many things got added," it's even more like a typical RPG stats screen. "Hmm, why does it say vitality and magic cannot be estimated? Wait, no need to answer, it's most likely because of my low level," he added, "But what does agility -0.1 mean?"
[Well, that's the status of your body with no vessel]
[When you add stones, some weight is added, so your original agility is diminished by a bit]
"I see, but that means the heavier I get, the less agile I become, but for better Power, I would need to use denser stones, which are heavier," he added," I would sacrifice Power for agility or vice versa. Is there any way for me to solve this complication?"
[You will naturally find out once you level up]
"I see. Now that I am level 2, time to find the wolf,"
[You still can't beat him]
"I know, I know."
Sirius went back to the place where the wolf had first appeared. "It's been two days, so there are no remaining footsteps."
“The Alpha most likely kicked out that wolf, or it escaped from the territory of the wolves, if it entered the territory of any other race they would have killed it, so it must have come here, a place not suitable for other race but suitable for it to survive.”, he deduced
“You mentioned there were some subspecies here that would help me evolve. DO you know their location?” Sirius asked.
[Yes]
“The wolf needs to hunt prey to survive and evolve, so it's likely it is currently hunting one of those species,” he thought.
With the information given by the system, he headed to find the lone wolf.
In a meadow, several rabbits were jumping around. They fed on the plants and survived. Most were like normal harmless rabbits. White and blue with long eats and fluffy body. Sirius found those rabbits and looked around.
The rabbits who noticed him maintained some distance from him,
After looking for a while, he said, “Not here, the wolf is not here,” he added, “Quick, the next location.”
He again started roaming around. Next, there were hedgehogs, but the wolf was nevertheless not there.
On his third attempt, he finally found the wolf.
The wolf was preying on a deer.
In the field, another deer arrived.
It was like a fallow deer with bighorns. The deer glanced at the corpse the wolf was feeding on.
Its eyes shrank as its antler glowed; lighting passed through its sharp antlers.
“Holy Shit!! They are glowing. Its antler is surrounded in freaking lighting!!!” Sirius cried in surprise as he observed from far behind a tree
the deer looked at the wolf with malice in its eyes and rushed towards it.
The wolf stopped preying on a dead deer and retracted its claws. Gazing at the deer, the wolf also charged fiercely.
The deer pointed its antlers and tried to pierce the wolf.
With no hesitation, the wolf opened its mouth and bit the antler with its sharp jaws,
The lighting passed through the wolf's entire body, yet he was indifferent to it; using its claws, the wolf pierced the deer’s white skin.
The deer screamed in pain as the wolf used its next claw to strike another side. Extreme pain caused the deer to gather up its remaining magic and increase the intensity of the lightning.
The wolf, unable to endure it anymore, let go of its Grip.
The blood poured out of the deer's wounds, slowly causing it to lose consciousness.
Howl!!!
It let out a howl of victory and preyed on the deer.
Sirius, observing form far, was startled to see this happen, “That wolf was mostly unfazed by such lightning. It's going to be really difficult to tame that wolf.” He added, “And what with the species on this planet, I have seen plenty of mutated animals, but that deer produced such lighting like it was nothing new.”
[Even the places with the lowest concentration of magic here is far superior to the magic present in the outside world]
[Hence the race that lives here is also more robust than the same race present outside this planet]
The wolf dragged the corpse of the deer.
“The wolf is leaving. It must have a hideout. I must find it,” he added, “Wait, wolfs have a keen sense of sound and smell. Does my body emit any form of scent?”
[Negative]
