Shen began to wonder what he could do with these'enhancements'? So he began to put them to the test, He began to run, jump, punch to test his power. He found he can run at three times the speed he used to. As well as jump high enough to hit the stalagmites of the cave which was at least 10 feet high. After that, He began to crush rocks with his bare hands, and walls with one punch as well as his grip. But his musculature has not changed.
"Why am I still the same?" Shin said and he heard a response.
[To safely make your body bigger food is required to convert into muscle]
Well he got his answer, and now shin began to wonder if he could get out of this damn hole so he asked.
"Can I jump out of here?" He said looking at the jump in front of him which was at least 20 feet high.
[Affirmative,].
Shin was relieved, But then the system said something else.
[But the food is needed first]
Shin frowned and looked around to see nothing but an empty cave. He went back to the ruins to see if he could get anything to eat. He began to walk around in hopes of finding something to eat the system intervened with the search.
[It will benefit you more to eat something you kill as you can convert it's into muscle ] It said.
Shin was interested in this development, and decided to try, Shin proceeded to find a rat and killed it. He used nothing, But his grip although effective left Shin with just mushed rat. He tried again and this time didn't crush it and ate it then heard the system.
[1/10 Rats eaten Please continue and after completing the requirements you may leave the hole] Shin felt weird it was like his biology was slowly changing over time with the systems help although he had to eat rats for it.
"Ok then rat diet it is." Shen began to slaughter rats everywhere he went in the abandoned kingdom of dust.
***
30 minutes later.
[10/10 rats eaten you now have met the requirements.] The system said right after he killed the last rat.
Shen felt different. His body changed too, And He was slightly beefier, Which made him look and feel stronger. Even now he felt the energy coursing through his veins like wildfire. He was ready for war without question. This system was amazing to use he began to walk back to the center of the hole to get out. But he knew that if those wolfs were still out there they could tear him to shreds.
"I'll cross that bridge when I get there I guess, right now I just need to get out of this hole."
Shen sighed he knew the only reason he survived was that they were mortal class. If not he would have been killed before he could move an inch. Shin has been a mortal class his whole life.
He only knew the basic healing spell. He couldn't use the elements like fire, water, earth, or air so he couldn't progress in any way, but his master was a higher fire class. Meaning he was the strongest type of fire mage.
If Shen could train he could be lower fire at this point due to his diligence of study.
It doesn't sound like much, But the power of the elements depends on mastery like if you were a lower fire then you could shoot fireballs. Mid fire, however, Could condense them into arrows and shin couldn't begin to think what a Higher fire could do. "How do I get stronger?" Shen asked the system and the system replied.
[Eat animals that are stronger than you and I will incorporate their DNA into your own. Alternative ways are learning skills in battle or spells through books as well as practicing skills already obtained to boost proficiency in that skill]
Shen was amazed. Because of this system, He could get stronger a lot faster than before. As well as learn something new quicker.
He could go down in the history of the temple. He knew that with this and maybe even be heard of outside the temple. Now shin continued to the opening of the cavern with an extra skip in his step. Now he was ready to get out of this god damn hole of ancient relics, and look towards the sun. He walked dreaming of the day he could leave everyone stunned. with a wide toothy grin, "I guess its time for me to leave now"
