EP = 200/10
A couple of days had passed since he completed the first Saga, Aryan was running through the forest at breakneck speeds when an incinerating fireball blasted from his right, he immediately strengthened the skin on the right side of his body, especially his arm, which he then lifted, shielding his body and increased his overall heaviness by 5 times, causing him to sink into the ground, the fireball collided with an explosion, blazing crimson flames submerged his body completely leaving his unprotected left side with slight hotness, but his right side unscathed. He hadn't moved an inch either, "Woah, that almost caught me off guard.", as soon as the flames dissipated, Aryan was shocked at the sight before him, a canine beast, about 3 meters in height long wavy red fire that resembles a burning flame, with a tail that was a literal flame, "What are you?! How can you throw fire and have a flaming tail? Oh, that doesn't really matter though does it, because I bet you taste delicious.", Aryan decided to end the fight quickly, he used about 20%(or 40 EP) of the stored energy and converted it into pure muscle in his legs, bolstering their size by about a third, but the strength increase was much more than just a third, this was about 4% percent of all the muscle mass he had accumulated from killing hundreds of animal, used on just his legs for an instant. Aryan bent his knees, the ground cratered under the immense force, he then kicked off the ground, instantly appearing next to the 'Flaming Wolf', leaving an after image about 10 meters away next to a crater. Without giving the creature time to react, Aryan punched with a black fist, supported with 5%(10 EP) fat reserves and weighing 10 times heavier than normal, furthermore, the increase in muscle countered the increase in weight, allowing his fist to fall with the impact and speed of a meteorite, easily breaking the sound barrier, just the air compressed on the tip of his fist started to tear apart the terrified expression of the dog, as soon as his fist connected with its face, it just simply evaporated, without a chance in hell of surviving. The force of Aryan's punch continued, far past the wolf's head, a cone of force decimated trees and disintegrated boulders, the aftermath resembled the path of an all-devouring serpent, that left nothing unconsumed for 10s of meters. Slightly aching, Aryan exhaled and said, "That might have been a bit overkill.", however, he felt it was worth it, because he could just sense that the meat was more than just delicious, and it certainly was, the instant he swallowed that first succulent bite an incomparably comforting warmth slid down his throat, into his stomach, and spread around his body, the energy from that one bite, was almost equal to 5% of his previously stockpiled energy. Bite after bite, Aryan continued to cut pieces off the carcass, cook them to perfection, and consume them immediately, after eating about half of the carcass, he stumbled upon a blooded crystalline rock that vaguely resembled a Spirit Stone but was smaller, about the size of a bean, "This wasn't inside any of the other beasts, hmm, this must have something to do with its fire breathing ability, I wonder if it's edible? Well, no harm in trying", and with that Aryan popped the shiny bean into his mouth and swallowed, however, there was no comforting warmth or any reaction at all, "Hmm, maybe you shouldn't swall-", Aryans eyes widened with shock, the second the bean hit his stomach, a raging heat consumed him, causing him to feel saturated to the extreme, he immediately activated the overdrive function and focused it all on his stomach, quickly storing 50% of all the energy processed and using the rest to slowly strengthen his body, Aryan sat there for three days, slowly consuming, storing and strengthening. By the third day, the feeling of fullness started to disappear, replaced by a feeling of unlimited power, his strength had doubled and his stored energy was about 3 times as potent as before, leaving him with about 450 EP stored, stretching his muscles and bones that let out a crackling sound, he continued his journey forward, however it didn't take him long to come across a familiar creature, peering over a boulder, Aryan saw a group of three Flaming Wolfs, with two about the same size as the last one he killed and the last being 50% bigger at 4.5 meters tall, with a constant heat surrounding it, just the thought of all the Energy Points, stored inside those creatures was enough o make his stomach rumble.
"Let's do this.", taking a different approach than last time, Aryan wished to make the fights last longer to improve his fighting skills and use of his abilities, therefore he just activated Surpassers Skin and made it cover his entire body for constant protection, but didn't use his EP and instead decided to focus on using the ability to increase and decrease his weight. Stepping out and attracting the wolves' attention, Aryan decreased his weight and sprinted forward at incredible speeds, to which the biggest wolf reacted with a fireball about the size of a basketball, twice as big as the last wolf, to which Aryan, with his easily manoeuvrable weight, skilfully dodge to the side, after which he jumped into the air above the smaller wolf, and increased the weight of his fist to the maximum, now about 12 times heavier due to the upgrade in strength from the , causing it to plummet and cave in the head of the wolf, instantly killing it, however, he wasn't given time to react before another fireball came shooting from behind, he tried to quickly lighten himself to move out the way, but he wasn't fast enough causing him to get hit head-on and then sent flying after due to the reduced weight, but the Surpassers Skin stopped him from burning, seeing he still needed much more practice Aryan decided to not go for the kill and instead practiced using his ability to get lighter and heavier in battle, this went on for about an hour until the wolves were too tired to spit out anymore balls or even attack with there claws, therefore Aryan quickly put an end to the fight with two swift punches, "That wasn't too bad of a practice session, however I'm going to have to experience more and harder fights if I want to get really good", Aryan then ate the 3 wolves as well as the Crystal Balls which only took a day to digest, with the big wolfs taking just under half a day, he guessed that maybe his body just wasn't ready the first time and needed adapting. After eating his fill his EP increased to 1150 (200EP each from the small wolfs and 300EP from the big one), this also doubled his base strength, making him realise he would need to keep killing stronger creatures if he wants dramatic increases in strength again, therefore he continued looking for more Fire Wolves to hunt.
