Alex clenched his teeth with all his strength, he exerted so much force that he could taste his own blood, but at some point all the pain in his body disappeared and he just stayed with his jaw numb.
Alex slowly opened his eyes since he had this closing them tightly to endure the pain, but when Alex opened them, he was amazed by what he saw.
Small spheres of light of different colors, floating throughout the cave, some were absorbed by the veins that circulate through the cave while others bounced with their body or crossed the walls.
Before Alex could continue his curiosity about the balls of light, a text box appeared in front of him.
----------
[Mana Core Updated ...]
Mana Core [x2]
Before it could only get mana through the food consumed by the user and save it indefinitely, but now with the update, the nucleus managed to purify itself by removing all the impurities in it, this managed to awaken the elements of the core, as well as it to be able to get mana through the environment and expel it [Magic / Spells].

Alex shouted completely happy when he finished reading the system notification.
"Tch!"
Alex closed his eyes and tried to find some information that he had previously been given.
[Magic]
Magic is the ability to alter reality with the mana and thus achieve impossible things.
To be able to do magic, one must first be able to have mana in his body, which is normal since mana is in everything.
Once having mana, you have to be able to distinguish it in order to guide it to do magic.
The mana within one will become like one more muscle and respond to the wishes of the person, only when he has managed to identify his mana and tame him.
Once all of the above is achieved, it is necessary to say a word that is related to the element in order to guide the mana to take shape, but knowledge is also necessary, not only because a person with a lot of mana shouts [fire storm] really create one, the person must understand that it is fire and that it is a storm in order to create that magic.
---------
Alex closed his eyes and tried to feel his body, Alex only found himself surrounded by pure infinite darkness, but within that darkness there is a small speck of light which moves wildly all over the place, as if it were a mischievous child.
Alex tried to control it by putting his focus on it, but the speck of light escapes every time Alex is about to tame it.
Alex soon has his own mana under his control, it was easy because the mana had no place to hide from him, since it is his own body where she tries to hide.
Once Alex managed to take control of his mana, a strange sensation invaded him, as if he had just discovered that he has an arm that he had never used, he clumsily guided the mana that is in his body to his paw, where he imagined A little flame.
[-0.5] A small text box appeared at the same time as the flame, but the box is very transparent, so much so that it will go unnoticed if he doesn't look for it.
After some experiments with the flame, Alex realized that due to his lack of familiarity with the mana, he can only create a static flame, make it large and increase its heat very little.
Alex's flames are red and he can hardly make them turn orange, but when he does, there is a great mana cost [-25] every 5 seconds.
The fire has different colors depending on what is burning and how hot it is.
-> Red 2000 C <-Alex's Current Level
Orange 2800 C
Yellow 3200 C
Light Yellow 4000 C
Ivory 5000 C
White 5500 C
Greenish 6000 C
Light Blue 6500 C
Blue 7300 C
Dark blue 9000 C
But that is Alex's knowledge, because in this world there are other beliefs, they believe that one is already born with his fire and will not be able to change it, that's why fire wizards use red flames all his life, even if they are the weakest .
Yellow fire is the most desired by cults or sacred churches, since they call it divine fire.

[//////////////////////////]
Alex's status was shown with his tail which wiggles from side to side as he watches his own status with pride, but he is very curious about the DP and his blocked abilities.
While Alex was in his own world, a goblin who was hanging around the area, saw Alex in the distance and without thinking twice ran to Alex.
But when he was about to arrive with Alex from behind, Alex's tail moved swiftly and got entangled in the goblin's neck shortly after exploding into flames.
[+100 Familiarity with the Fire Element]
That notification has appeared several times since Alex has been playing with his mana to make fire.
After that Alex began to hunt more goblins or rats to test his magic, in the course of his hunting, he obtained the title of [Apprentice] which gives Alex the bonus of more 150 MP [Mana Points], also Alex achieved make his flames projectiles, now he could throw them, but he lost control over them once they moved more than two meters away from him.
While Alex began to clean the first floor of the dungeon completely thanks to his magic, deep inside the dungeon, a demon is upset while he clenches his jaw, so much that he began to bleed.
Alex was able to continue cleaning the first floor since he is the only one who uses mana and therefore there is an abysmal amount of mana in the dungeon for him alone, and he only has to eat the red or black balls of light to recover his mana, or let its nucleus attract the surrounding mana, but that is slow compared to eating the red or black mana, which also increases familiarity with its respective element, but some of these balls of light avoid being eaten as if they have conciencia, Alex calls them Mana Spirits as they seem to be aware and sometimes help Alex use magic.
The days began to pass inside the dungeon, in which Alex increased his wealth in gold or iron ingots / nuggets, although Alex managed to collect more than a hundred of them, but they have the defect of having many impurities in them, also together with others Dozens of food pills which helped Alex a lot, the bad thing is that his drop ratio was quite low from the first day Alex found one, before there were 7 out of 10 goblins they would drop one, now 1 out of every 6 goblins.
Alex's great progress caused the dungeon to start summoning goblins with rusty metal weapons and some slime which have adaptive magic resistance.
Those slime instantly adapt to the magic element by which they are beaten, but once they do they can no longer change, Alex had to learn to use dark magic to be able to eliminate them.
Alex does not understand much by dark magic, but so far he has used his shadow as a weapon for combat.
Right now Alex has managed to climb to level 5 while he has only mutated his fangs x5, claws x10, smell x3, bone structure x2, skinx5, while he has just finished getting used to his statistics of [STR C] and [AGI B].
Inside the safe room, Alex finds himself looking at himself in the reflection of the water, now Alex could no longer see any human silhouette but a simple black cat with amethyst eyes.
Alex thought that for more than three days he has been proposing this for fear of facing a powerful beast.
