"Impurities?... that's new. Ezekiel, are these impurities harmful? Can drinking green tea solve it."
[Impurities are minerals inside a mana stone that have the attribute to solidify mana inside the body. It may prove to be fatal in the higher realms of power. It is advised not to eat mana stones unless you have a system, please think before you eat.
Note:Impurities decrease as the grade of mana carrier increases.]
Tom felt embarrassed. Well, one cannot blame him for not thinking that the people of Lokam are actually cutting down their ladders out of the fiery pit for wood. As for Tom's last question Ezekiel did not even bother to answer.
"OK, do it." Tom murmured.
Suddenly half of the cold mana inside Tom's stomach instantly vanished, more like deleted.
Entering Innerscape he redirected all the mana into the Magicule. It shined brighter and brighter, but soon after 5 minutes, his mana ran out.
'Already, the thing's a glutton' he sighed and called the status window.

Tom sucked in a cold breath. After awakening, a section for mana capacity appeared, which had the number 5 in it, but this capacity could only be used to create and maintain a dark or light wisp for 5 minutes.
Now his Capacity jumped straight from 5 to 30 just by accumulating a single Magicule, one had to note that an average mana capacity of a person below the Mana Core realm was up to 220, but he was already at 30 just from a single Magicule how ridiculous was that.
Imagine a total of 200 Magicules ACCUMULATED till they reached white, if that happened 5,000 mana capacity wouldn't be an impossibility below the mana core realm, the mana apprentice realm.
'5000 Capacity!.. even an average mana core realm would only have 1,500 Units of mana' he became excited, nothing beats a sense of power and superiority.
But mind you the process is not over the white Magicule is still advancing. Tom looked forward to what colour the next level would have because unlike the other levels this time it didn't have a change of colour but its shine constantly increased as more mana was fuelled into it.
Tom swallowed another stone and his stomach was filled with a cold sensation again.

'Yes.' without a bit of hesitation he traded half of the bad resource for half of the good resource. This waste didn't even make him hesitate in the slightest, because even for a simple meal it would still cost a minimum of 5 Low-grade mana stones and the low-grade stone unlike the high-grade one, was only at the size of a small bean.
Tom Accumulated all the mana from the stomach to the Magicule, well not exactly—the mana just appears around somewhere in the Innerscape and he just directs from there on.
The glutton Magicule absorbed more and more as it shined in utter brightness, it was akin to that of a sun appearing in the void of space.
Fortunately, it didn't matter how blinding the Magicule is, it could never literally harm a person, because Innerscape is just like a virtual interface to interact with something physical. A perfect analogy would be a person manipulating a computer through a digital screen.
The mana ran out in less than two minutes, and the rate of consumption was getting faster, but that was a good thing if not he would've to wait longer, as thy say, the faster the better.
He consumed another, after one and a half minutes he consumed another then another again, then again...
After 40 stones, (technically 20 when considering resource as a whole), Tom's pocket was empty.
'You damn glutton show me your peak already.' he didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
This was a single Magicule! A SINGLE! Magicule, it should never consume 40 stones, heck normal people wouldn't even need one to begin with. As his knowledge was only limited to legendary geniuses accumulating Magicule till blue, his white magicule was still uncharted for him.
'Status.' Tom ordered.

'Well, I never really complained. Well, cross that, I never want to see the peak. My dear Magicule number 1, want some more? Eat some more and more, and never be satisfied.' All of Tom's previous grievances were all gone seeing the tremendous increase in capacity.
Tom didn't waste any time he went to the living room and picked up a stack of resources, money was not a problem. Everyone in the mansion received their share, It was not a factor of love between the count and his wives/children, it was a matter of pretences, what would the people think when they saw a poor noble, only shame will fell on their household. Well, there is a food chain in this system but overall everyone has plenty unless they are up to something crazy.
Tom accumulated, his capacity reached 150, and on the 50'th Magicule something suddenly happened.
Zzip!
The magicule vanished and with it its shine too, there was no explosion. It just vanished the sense of power given by it didn't go away but instead, it increased.
Soon, after some initial surprise, he found something else in the place of Magicule Number 1...something distorted... Something black... Something very small.
A few minutes ago Tom wondered what was the limit to how brilliant a thing can shine. However, there is a limit to everything in the universe. There is a limit to light and if one can't see past its shine, then observe the limit of its source, the Star.
Then what if a ginormous star is at its limit?
It collapses into something where the laws of the universe are inverted.
It collapses into something that can make even time and space swap positions.
Tom thought of the same celestial object as he incredulously gazed at the PRIMORDIAL BLACK HOLE inside him.
"Sweet mother of Jesus!!"
