After my vision faded, It seemed as if in an instant I was awake again. I had a slight pain in my back and it was gone in a nanosecond.
I quickly check around me for the girallon and it seemed to be gone from my immediate area. I decided to sit here for a minute to make sure I don't attract it back towards me. Good to know I can't die though.
I should check my status, probably gained a new resistance.

Guess I was right, resistance to blunt damage. Phew, alright should be good enough now. If he comes back I can die again. I quickly grab the log and start running toward the open area I've been staying at. Once I reach the area, I quickly search for more ax parts.
[Crude Ax:
This thing might break.
Durability: 5/5]
There we go, It's always nice to see progress even if it is such small increments. I discovered another thing while making the axes. When making new items the amount of skill proficiency I gain, is increased. The more complex the thing I make, the more proficiency I get. Also, the proficiency decreases the more you make the item.
Now time to attempt to build a house.
**A month later**
After a month, I have finally finished a one-room cabin. Using some slightly primitive techniques the cabin doesn't look too shabby. Although, it isn't the most appealing thing or the best built.
I was proud of it regardless. After a month I have a decent understanding of crafting and building, I had to repair and make so many damn axes. Also, I didn't slack on my training, using my cultivation technique I have made a good leap in all my stats and skills.

After all that I think it is time to finally explore the giant tree, I saw earlier. I head in the direction opposite the river and carefully make my way through the mass of trees in front of me.
As I'm running through the forest I sense something. A girallon. I immediately run towards the girallon to test my new abilities.
Throughout the month I had an idea if I can enhance my eyes to give me various effects. Why can't I do that to the rest of my body? So, for the first time in a while, I consulted {Archive} and found a technique called {Body Enhancement}. Using my mana I can enhance my whole body at once. It wasn't as strong as concentrating your mana all into one spot. It would enhance every function of your body at once. The more mana you have the greater the effect. But, because the mana is spread so thinly, it doesn't have the degree of strengthening if I were to focus mana on a body part.
Using this technique, I came up with a few unique techniques. Although they only show up as {Body Enhancement} on my status, I also managed to gain {Body Manipulation}. Currently only able to use {Body Manipulation} if I use mana. According to {Archive} I can get control over my body functions through more natural means in the future. Using this ability I can control parts of my body you normally couldn't, for example, my adrenal glands. Giving myself a big booster shot of Adrenaline could increase my body's function. Couple that with my evolution and regeneration I should be able to avoid side effects.
As I approach the Girallon I enter what I call {Speed Enhancement}. I stimulate my hypothalamus and adrenal gland to be able to react faster and have my body ready for action. Adrenaline pumping through my veins I push a majority of the mana to my legs, strengthening them. In this mode, my speed is about doubled.
I rush toward the Girallon, with maximum effort. The Girallon seems to barely be keeping up with me. As I go to kick him he manages to block with two of his four arms, stopping my leg. I swiftly reset myself. I get ready for him to attack me.
It rushes towards me with insane speed, that would've been my death if it weren't for Speed Enhancement. I swiftly dodge all the Girallon's attacks and kick at it once again, shifting all of my mana to my right leg. It blocks with its two arms. This time its arms buckle underneath the pressure of my leg. The girallon goes flying to the left.
After, the Girallon hit the ground. I didn't give it any time to recover before I jumped up in the air and smashed down right on the chest of the Girallon. Using the force of my arms using {Strength Mode} on my arms along with gravity. The attack delivers a staggering amount of damage. I could hear the ribs of the Girallon crack underneath the pressure. I grab the escaping power of the Girallon, the immense pain hitting me once again.
Much more tolerable after doing this over and over. Plus, I guess pain resistance helps. I stand up after my cellular destruction is over, and continue in the direction I was heading.
