after Rajjin woke up he realized that he got information about the creature he had killed. It was called a shadow bat they have a dark mana core. Shadow bats have corrosive properties if they attack with dark mana and thay have a lot of speed to kill there pray fast and to be unnoticed when thay kill more then once.
Rajjin was lucky as the one that he had killed was young so it couldn't use it's mana that well. As he looked at the body on the cave floor he realized that he was hungry so he started eating the bat. When he was eating some of the bat he saw a weird round ball looking thing. As he was looking at it he said what is this? He was quite curious about it so he picked up the ball shaped core and he put it up to his antennas. When his antennas hit it he never smelled something so good so he decided to eat it.
As soon as Rajjin bit in to it he was in pain not physical pain but mental pain. When he finished eating it all this information came into his mind at once and when he was done he pasted out but his mind stayed awake sporting out all the information he got from eating it.
After he woke up he said so that was called a mana core and all level 2 monsters have one of these so that means I have one to. Rajjin got curious about what his core looked like so he used his soul to look in his body. When he saw his core he thought that it looked cool with lightning coming off his core. Rajjin decided to take a closer look at it to see if he can find anything else when he concentrated on his core he saw the lightning fading away slowly and darkness was taking over his core he looked at it and was panicking he did not know what was happening so he looked at his stats.

After seeing that he got a darkness affinity he calmed down some. After he calmed down he got excited because he was always a big fan of Harry Potter and light novels that had magic spells in them so he decided to take some time a practice his elements and try to make better way to kill things with them. When he said that he started right away with lightning magic he could just use lightning ark but that only goes two feet in front of him and that is only useful in cqc ( close quarter combat) he need something else for long range. So he started shaping his lightning mana into something the resemble a nail. He had to do this multiple times because it is not as easy as the light novels made it out to be. After he felt like he got it down he went to go out side he forget about the trees blocking the entrance to the cave( totally was not me that forgot the trees lol). When his was done moving them he went outside and made a purple nail out of mana he through it at a tree expecting it to go through the tree but it just bounced off of it. Am I a idiot he thought how can I forget to sharpen the point of the nail no wonder it did not pierce the tree. So Rajjin tried it again but this time he sharpene the point of the nail and through it at a tree but this time it almost pierced all the way through the tree. As he was admiring his hard work he heard a ding a and a metallic voice rang in his ear. Host has successfully created a new skill called mana shaping.
Rajjin wondered if the voice would reply if he asked something so he asked how does this work. The voice replyed it works when you try shaping any kind of your mana it to something new and it remembers everything you created and helps you make it faster. Rajjin asked the voice one more question do you have a name. The voice reply with no but you can give me one if you want to. Rajjin said ok how do you feel about Nim. He weighted for a while and then he heard Nim say I like it thank you.
After he was done talking to Nim he noticed he was hungry but it was dark outside because he lost track of time when he was practicing with his mana. He was going to go back to sleep but then he got a idea what if he could put some darkness mana in his eyes to recreate night vision so he tried it and it worked and then he heard Nim's voice say you have learned night vision. When he could see in the dark he went out to hunt he was a little scared because what if stronger beasts came out at night but he remember that when he was trying to find the cave to beasts were not that strong so he calmed down and started hunting again.
After some time he found a lot of those caterpillar beasts in one spot so he decided to kill them but he did not want to have them all rush him at once when he killed one so he tryed comeing up with a plan and he did but he said to himself that it would be easier with stealth then he heard a ding and saw a mission. It was to kill 15 monsters with out being noticed and he looked at the reward it was actually stealth he said to himself is someone trying to help me or are thay making fun of me.
Rajjin put that thought aside for right now and focused on the caterpillars in front of him he decided to use some darkness mana to make a black nail and sharpin it. After he did that he launched it at a caterpillar that was away from the group he aim at it's head. He decided that would be the fastest and quietest way to kill it. Rajjin watched the black nail pierce the monster's head and it did not even make a sound when it died. After he got his 20xp confirming it was dead he found 14 more caterpillars away from the group and just like the first one he killed them all quietly. When all of this was done he looked at what he got. He got 150xp which was enough to make him lv3 and his mana shapeing skill leveled up to lv2 when he was done he looked at the mission and at the bottom it said turn in so he pressed turn in. When he turned in t mission all kinds of information entered his mind about where and when to hide and how to hide. After he was done going through the info he took two corpsed back to his cave and then he eat them and went to sleep.
