The blinding light finally disappeared. My eyes taking a couple more minutes to adjust. After my eyes adjusted I realized that I was in a forest, the ground was covered in vibrant colors. It was a little dark, with very little sunlight escaping the canopy and into my eyes.
I immediately felt the change in my body, I was much, much stronger than my Earth counterpart. I could see the ants crawling on the leaves a couple of meters away from me with pristine clarity if I wanted to. My hearing could hear almost everything around me, including my slow heartbeat. I was very immersed in the enhanced senses that I had gained, trying to get used to them.
Next was my strength, I felt ten times stronger then I was on Earth. Of course, this wasn't accurate as I don't have a perfect sense over my body. I felt as though I could lift a truck. I figured I spent enough time looking around and decided to look at my status. 'Status' I chanted in my head.

Alright, after looking at my status I'm sure that it was fabricated by that God to be all perfect 100's. Also, what the hell is {Mana Containment}? Well, I guess that is what {Archive} is for.
[Mana Containment: Your mana is confined to your body. As soon as you absorb mana into your body it is stuck within your body forever. Makes mana slightly harder to absorb.]
Hmm, that might be bad. I can't use external magic but I can use my body cultivation technique. This status effect might be the best for cultivation because it doesn't allow my mana to escape. It seems my technique that god made considered this status effect.
According to the technique, it will still allow me to gather mana at a tremendous rate. I must take time to study this technique and execute it, but first I need to try to figure out where I am. I start doing some basic warm-up stretches since this area seems to be safe.
After finishing, I squat down low. As I hit my lowest point my legs explode with power. I shoot straight up into the air about 10m high and grab the branch I was aiming for. I continue climbing up the tree with the agility of a monkey.
As I reach the top of the tree, I poke my head through the canopy. I realize that I am surrounded by a sea of trees for what seems like 100's of kilometers in each direction. All except in one direction, where there is a giant tree. The tree has massive roots spreading out in every direction that split the sea of trees. I could see giant fruit hanging from the tree. Either they were massive, or my eyesight is spectacular. The fruits varied in shape, color, and design. Not that this was too important at the moment, but it did seem unfathomably powerful. This tree and its fruits radiated a power quite similar to the god I witnessed. However, this tree was only a minuscule amount of the power I felt from god. After all, he is god.
I shake my head putting these thoughts on the back burner and decided to head back down to the forest floor. I reach the forest floor with no problems. I start to wander through the forest. Heading in the opposite direction of the giant tree. There must be a reason why it radiates such power. Though, I don't want to find out yet.
I continue to wander, carefully walking, and looking everywhere around me. Deliberately trying not to attract any attention to me.
After sensing the tree, I realize that I can now sense faint auras of animals around me. Not to mention these auras have emotions that I can sense. It's as if all this knowledge is now available to me from nowhere.
For example, that ant over there, carrying a leaf is very proud and has a hint of alertness. I'm not sure how I can tell this, but I assume that it is because of magic bullshit. I need to look this up in {Archive} later.
After wandering carefully for a while, I finally heard water. It was very soothing. As I neared the water I continued to detect more and more auras around me. I finally spot the river in the distance and decide not to approach it yet. I feel a lot of auras coming from near the river and some are strong.
I grab a semi-sharp rock off the ground and rip a branch off of a tree. The branch is a good 8m so, I should be able to whittle down the end of the branch and make a shitty spear. It took a while but I finally got it to where I would want it to be. I wonder if I can learn to use {Observation} or something of that nature. 'Archive'
[Inspect: Allows you to get information on anything you target. More information the higher the level.]
Alright, below the definition it even tells me how to do it. So, if I direct the mana inside my body to my eyes and focus on what I want that mana to do, I will be able to perform {Inspect}.
I try to grab the mana within my body and will it to move where I want it. At first, the mana sat there like a rock, then slowly I was able to start moving it. It started with a trickle and slowly improved to a solid stream. It took a couple of minutes to build the length. The further I pulled the mana from my mana core the harder it was to control. After a few minutes, I was able to pull my mana from my core to my eyes.
Finally having the mana within my eyes I was able to focus on the intent. I had to have a clear image in my mind of what I wanted the mana to do. I first thought of a status screen and decided that it would be the best image for me to think of. Thinking about how I wanted the information delivered was only one part of the process. The second part was focusing on the thing I wanted the information about. Finally, I needed to put the two processes together and BAM! I did it!!
[Crude Spear
This spear is very bad, it could snap under a toddler's strength if handled improperly.
Durability: 1/1]
Great, thanks. I knew it was bad but this was like a slap in the face from god. Oh well, can't get everything right on your first try. Without failure, life would be boring. I guess it's time to go look for some food and shelter. Carefully watching my steps I continue to sneak along the river. As I'm walking around I notice a tree with some fruits that look like pears. I quickly, well as quickly as I can, move my mana towards my eyes and use {Inspect} on the fruit.
[Pear: It's a pear, not much nutrition, but, at least you won't die.]
Ah, great it's food. But, I don't know if I like how this inspection works. Anyways, let's just jump up this tree and eat some pears. With a slight grunt and a quick jump, I am on a branch of the tree, grabbing pears and scarfing them down. Hmm, I wonder if I can adapt to not need to eat food, oh well, food tastes good so I'll eat anyway. After, scarfing down pears at an inhumane rate I decided to look at my surroundings.
The river is still over there, running with no cares in the world, and now it's getting dark. If I channel mana into my eyes and picture properly being able to see in the dark, I might gain night vision. As I pull my mana to my eyes, I think about how light works, and why we can't see well at night. As I pour the mana into my eyes, my mana makes my pupils bigger and increases the efficiency of my eyes.
I can already see slightly better than the average human at night, but, now my sight was roughly tripled. However, still not at the level of nocturnal animals I believe I could get there eventually. After figuring that all out I decided, I'll check my status again after a whole day of exploring this new world.
