Jinwoo was watching this all with wide eyes as he didn't expect this to work out as smoothly as it did. But before he could do anything else, he felt something tingling in his body before he jumped to the left.
Behind Jinwoo there was a giant stinger with a green liquid that liquefied the cave walls.
As he twisted his body to look, he saw different types of monsters appearing inside the cave, but unlike the ordinary monsters... These were bigger and had very monstrous features like giant's teeth or claws dripping black liquid; they seem further muted due to the presence of a dragon vein.
"Do I get this protagonist treatment?! Where you just finished a power-up and found a punching bag??!!"
'Wait wait wait I am the protagonist of the world, so should make sense shouldn't it,'
Ignoring his thoughts Jinwoo stared at deers, Eutamius sibiricus., Coyotes, and fowls., while counting there were at least 20 monsters here.
"They are dead…" Jinwoo noticed that all the monsters were further muted into something else entirely. So much so it was hard to identify which species they belong to, as he was thinking that he heard a voice appear from a wolf-looking creature. "You really made me wait..."
'The guy behind these monsters?.. And he can talk how so.' Jinwoo looked at the wolf calmly before he said "So you are a stray, huh... I guess you were too scared to go after me"
"Grrrrrrr... Don't think your tricks can save you now, human I will eat you and gain your knowledge .." Wolf turned to look at the portal behind Jinwoo and then at the weird book that was still absorbing the corruption.
"I watched you from the moment you came out, you're very weak now"
Did the animal part lower his IQ?... Hold up, from the start?! How can he even communicate, especially in the same language as me, what he said about eating and gaining knowledge?
Could it be related to that skill? It's possible he ate many people from here and learned to talk in Korean. Or there is something else at play'
*Boom*
A pink aura appeared around Jinwoo as it pushed everything around him backward before he said "You know? I was going to kill you anyway, but thank you for the extra reason"
"GRRRR..." All the monsters got bloodthirsty from Jinwoo's words before they rushed toward him. As if they also understood his words.
"*Sigh*... Well, I guess this is it" Jinwoo stood there with his hands in his pockets as his pink aura blocked all the stingers with the green liquid before an eagle with a large beak attacked Jinwoo's eye. But before it hit Jinwoo, a water ball appeared between them.
The eagle didn't care about the water ball and attacked it, "Thud" but instead of the water ball splashing, the eagle had a hole in his head with the same size of his beak as if a 50 caliber bullet tore through his head. And the huge eagle fell with a thud...
Jinwoo looked at the animals rushing before saying.
Jinwoo slammed his left foot on the ground as the ground started to tremble before huge vines spread from the ground and locked most of the monsters and they started to bind them grabbing their necks and binding them then the binds started to get tighter and choking them, but some small and flying monsters escaped and rushed towards Jinwoo.
As he had a grin on his face.
"I, Sung Jin-Woo, have a dream..." Jinwoo's pink aura increased while small pink grains of light appeared around him " To become overpowered" As pink aura scattered everywhere "I strive for something beyond the strongest, that challenging me would be the most ridiculous thought ever, that fighting me would be a sin!"
This was an ancient knowledge only available to the cultured people.
More vines appeared as they blocked the animals before Jinwoo said. "Lets the game begin"
An awkward atmosphere appeared with only the sound of struggling animals who were slowly but surely getting strangled to death.
Next second hundred of stone cannons metalized in front of Jinwoo,
The rocks changed their shape turning into a drill that was as hard as possible for that level, and then they started to spin with a rotation speed as fast as possible so much so they turned red from heat generated through the rotation.
Jinwoo's pink aura glowed even more, as
"*Cough*"Jinwoo cleared his throat before he put his hand forwards and said "Bang!!!"
"Boom Boom Boom bang Bang bam bam ban"
And the next second all the rock blast fired at a velocity that was as fast as possible leaving sonic booms behind. The rock bullet went flying at a red-hot speed.
The next second ahead all of the monsters had their vital points being pierced through.
Head, throat, heart, lung,…
furthermore, they flew past the organs leaving behind holes and melted organs of monsters
They didn't understand the meaning.
And they died just three seconds later.
Outside the cave, there was a giant black bear monster with mutated features showing clear signs of mutations, that was looking at the cave from a distance. This is the stray that controls those animals. But at this moment he had a shocked expression on his face.
*Crash* *Crash* *Crash* *Crash* *Crash* *Crash*
Stone cannons started to fly out of the cave and crashed into the ground creating huge holes, as they made potholes next to the bear stay.
The bear didn't believe a human was able to do this before he heard footsteps coming from the cave entrance.
Jinwoo walked slowly while the stone bullets were floating behind him continuing to spin before Jinwoo looked towards the giant bear.
"GRRRRRRR... HUMAN!!" Jinwoo watched the angry black bear with a calm expression before he said " You are really lucky to witness two things this day"
'Well... I was going to end it with a bang anyway' Jimwoo used the inventory to cover his face before he raised his hand to the sky as The Book of Totality flew in front of him,
He wanted to do a small experiment, as pink light spots started to gather from all the plants in the surrounding area.
The stone bullets rushed to the cave wall which is next to the mountain before piercing it.
The Dragon vein and Ley line that was supposed to vanish started working again with the control of mana manipulation as the whole mountain started to shake.
Bear stared in awe as he saw the whole mountain start to turn pink while floating in the sky before a black light appeared on it.
The Mana inside the dragon vein and Ley line... The dimension of the dragon vein... With the whole mountain as a matter to use, This whole mountain is corrupted if left like this people will continue to die out. As for this mountain, its very nature is now corrupt.
And even though there was only one dragon vein, Ley lines are scattered all over the mountain.
Jinwoo raised his hand and choking vines spared all over the mountain connecting with every Ley line in the mountain and establishing Jinwoo's connection with Ley lines using themselves as the medium at that moment all the pink and black light gathered towards him.
The whole scene was like another sun appearing in the night, which alarmed a lot of people.
Jinwoo started to float in the sky with the light as he looked at the shocked bear stray " Life is always around us... from the moment we take our first heartbeat in this world"
"However, everything has two sides of existence... If there's life" Pink turned into rings around Jinwoo's left hand as something was made inside of them while the dark light transformed into a black liquid that was being absorbed by the book of Totality. Meanwhile, Jinwoo said "... There'll be death and that's true causality"
Jinwoo gathered all the rings towards his palm before they disappeared into his hands. At that moment Jinwoo shone with bright pink light/aura creating a pink star in the sky that had Jinwoo in the center of it.
After a few moments, all the lights vanished, leaving Jinwoo holding the book of Totality in his hand while his clothes also changed.
Jinwoo now is wearing a long, silver-buttoned blue coat with three separated coattails. A white, serpentine pattern runs around the collar, with a snake's head hanging over the coat's left shoulder, and its tail slinking down the right, all the way to the bottom of the coat. A gold lining runs across the edges of the coat, and a silky, golden flower blossom pattern decorates the inner lining. Each cuff of the coat also possesses five, gold buttoned straps with gold lining.
Jinwoo landed gently on the ground as he put his right hand on
"This is..." Jinwoo looked at the monsters surrounding the bear before he said "Death"
Jinwoo didn't care about confused monsters, as he waved his hand in a cutting motion gently to the front.
*Pff* *Pff* *Pff* *Pff* *Pff* *Pff**Pff* *Pff* *Pff*
All the monsters in front of Jinwoo got their heads chopped off without Jinwoo taking a step with the use of Wind Blade and Water Blade which were so fast that monsters didn't even see them.
Before ten crystal lances appeared around him and shot towards the bear nailing him into the ground.
"Time to end this..." Two Daggers appear in his hands, drawing stance next second Jinwoo completely disappeared.
The bear didn't even see when Jinwoo pulled the Daggers before his senses were overwhelmed.
"I don't know what you are, or you just want to survive but..." Jinwoo turned his back to the bear as the daggers in his hands vanished. and he said "... Die now"
And just after his words a lot of slashes appeared on the body of the bear and cut the bear into many pieces instantly.
Jinwoo releases his breath slightly before feeling something and he activated his speed buffs and runs in the opposite direction.
But not before collecting the most powerful corpses.
In the next moment, a lot of hunters of different guilds and from associations appeared with big media teams following soon behind and there also a few media helicopters were here, but some of them were injured and some got knocked by the sheer quantity of mana that was still trembling. The supernaturals didn't stop and looked at the place where the mountain disappeared while some of them tried to track Jinwoo by space, but they stopped after a few of them found nothing to track, as the cause of this accident remained a mystery.
.....
Inside a hotel room, there we could see Jinwoo laying on the bed. There was a water ball in front of him that was changing its shape from a ball to a spike to a shield to a flat surface to a disk, this was to check the time limit of his mana.
As Jinwoo was watching the system screen that was flashing before him.

And with I am done with the notifications I have to say the pain was worth it, especially considering how much I gained with it,
to be honest they all are powerful in their own right, but yes this is the multiverse, and most Universal or Multiversal Entities have thousands of abilities lying in the corner so I wasn't overwhelmed to see my rewards in the least.
Plus it was never about age or skills they were just a cherry on the cake, yes the most delicious cherry but still a cherry.
It was all about this explosive mana growth that I can feel from every fiber of my being.
I now had gained my own superpowers.
My powers that were unviable yesterday, have been developed easily by using mana in much greater amounts from a greater source as a replacement, and with it came all generic powers like strength speed senses, etc...
Now let's see the skills.
Ding~!
Pain Resistance
Level: 3
Rank: Rare (B+)
Skill Type: Passive

Not much change in it which is expected but still disappointing.
