"Holy mother of Jesus!" He shouted in disbelief seeing a very small puncture in reality, a literal black hole. As a scientifically curious guy a black hole is a divine object as much as it is terrifying.
"What happened?" Anna woke up rubbing her cute eyes.
"I think my dick hit the ceiling," Tom said.
Anna looked at him with concern in her sleepy eyes, "Do you want me to apply some ointment?"
Tom blinked a few times, "No, thank you."
"mmm~" Anna purred and went back to sleep like a sloth.
'Why did I even say that!' he instantly regretted saying that. He couldn't just say that his Magicule turned into a black hole, it was unnecessary and would only add to her woes. So he told her what came in mind his mind first, and because of his excitement, the final result turned out to be a little too different.
'And what's with her reaction? She replied like I hit my knee somewhere... or maybe that's what she heard due to her drowsiness.' Tom smiled wryly.
As trivial matters were settled Tom focused on the tiny black hole that used to be a bright Magicule.
A black hole is an ultra-dense singularity caused by the collapsing of stars into itself.
However, here, there are no stars but Magicules, which means that Tom Accumulated enough mana into the Magicule causing it to collapse into itself turning it into probably a miniature black hole. However he didn't know if it's good or bad-
Ding!
Conveniently Right on time system notifications started popping up.
[«Your affinity towards higher dimensions moderately increased! »]
[«Your Magicule has finally evolved into a micro-mana-singularity and is physically anchored into your body.»]
[Note: It is advised fully bring a herd to the destination rather than bringing a sheep individually, one by one. Bringing your 241 Magicules simultaneously will prove to be more efficient and prove to be less painful.

'Affinity towards higher dimensions... I didn't expect something like that.' Tom's interest was now piqued.
The term higher dimension is often likely seen when suff related to space come into play, like the 5th dimension, and 6th dimension... for example the dimension where one lies is within the 4-dimensional space-time.
However, it only made the term 'affinity' towards higher dimensions more or less confusing for Tom. He was still unable to shake off the scientific fundamentals from Earth, making it hard for him to get around magical stuff that he can't explain even in a minuscule amount. However, Tom was not a vegetarian, he had his fair share of web novels and light novels, he had a rich imagination to fill in his guesses.
He believes that one must have a strong imagination only then can one adapt to the different scenarios life throws at them. His previous lives proved exactly that to him. In every world he reincarnated, the rules concerning that world were very much different from each other, he needed to have an open mind to survive, which he didn't. But hey,the process, not perfection.
"Micro-mana-singularity so this is what the black hole is called. And it is now anchored into my body, weird..." myriad of thoughts ran through his mind.
After a few minutes of serious thought. He decided to follow Ezekiel's advice, to Accumulate all Magicules to a certain extent before moving to Micro-mana-singularity or shining white.
"Status." he thought.
[«...
Mana Capacity: 10/250 units.
... »]
Tom couldn't help but smile like a child who got his favorite toy.
An increment of 100!
He wasn't expecting that at all!
His blood boiled in excitement, he didn't know about nobles but he already surpassed many commoners within the same realm with just 1 Magicule, how ridiculously unfair was that!
Huff~
Tom's breathing became rough from excitement, if he could he would have moaned but it would only wake up the sleeping Anna.
He toned down his breathing as his eyes turned serious before proceeding he need learn something crucial.
He needs to completely control his aura.
Eating a mana stone doesn't recover his mana capacity, this mana could only be used for ACCUMULATING and does not enter his circulatory system.
To fill his capacity he had to directly pull mana from the air or let it recover naturally, why it was like this, he did not know. However, as his mana recovers he could feel his aura slowly increasing.
If anyone took notice of his aura they would be able to Immediately gauge just how much mana he held and God knows how much trouble would come after that, just thinking about it sent shivers up his spine. It wouldn't be too much to say that the royal family would probably directly come after his head.
Two minutes later Tom opened his eyes and sighed in relief, "That's easy, too easy."
Suppressing his aura came instinctually to him, not just him but everyone in the world, however Tom thought that this had to do something with the will of Nature but it proved to be different it naturally came to him like breathing this also proves that he is not exactly human being like the one in earth but a bit different like the ones in this world.
The entire process of aura suppression is like trying to hold in your fart, the more you hold it in, the harder will it be to maintained (You can never un-see this.).
The more he suppress his aura the more he cumulates his mana signature into himself, eventually having to release it one day, it is more or less irritating.
After, suppressing his aura. He began another session of ACCUMULATION but this time not just one but his entire 268 Magicules as a stack.
