A/N-Mass release Chapter 2
"Let's get this over with I really don't want to stay here more then I have to"
"Is there any difference between eating the heart here in the outskirts and eating it closer to the center ?"
[No there is no difference except the danger level] after getting Amira's confirmation I started looking for a safe place to undergo my awakening, amira mentioned that I will have to focus all of my attention on the mana and that it will wreak havoc inside my body so I will be open for attacks during the ritual, I started looking for a cave , I looked everywhere the mountains and the rocky areas but I didn't find anything.
I really didn't want to go deeper inside the zone to look for a place so I settled for digging a hole in the ground so I can at least be out of sight and to use it as a place for my awakening.
I used my hands to move the dirt and dig a hole the dirt was easily movable so it wasn't really hard it was just annoying getting dirt stuck in my nails but beggars can't be chosers after about 2 hours of just digging and one snack break consisting of raw meat I had my hole it was just enough to cover my body if I hugged my knees.
"Okey heart first then guide the energy next to my heart am I missing something ?"
[No but it will be difficult to move the mana and even more difficult to compress it ]
"It's fine no pain no gain " when my conversation ended I took out the heart and started the ritual by taking a bite.
Seven seconds after the first bite I was able to feel something warm seeping out of my stomach through the rest of my body at first the energy was warm and brought comfort but that didn't last long as if sensing that it wasn't inside the right host the energy started wreaking havoc inside my body and it was followed by a burning sensation.
[-2Hp]
[-2Hp]
[-2Hp]
I gritted my teeth and finished the rest of the heart , the pain was unbearable but adding 1 skill point into pain resistance made it manageable , then I focused all of my attention on the energy trying to control it, most of my attempts were without result but I felt I was getting closer and a system notification confirmed it.
[Do To Your Actions You Have Learnt The [Mana Manipulation Lv 1 ] skill ]
With my new skill moving the mana was little easier but it still took some time I started transferring little of the energy at the time then condensing it the pulling more and adding it to the growing marble.
[-2Hp]
[-2Hp]
[Notice the rate of condensation is insufficient to the rate of loss of health points
You will die if you continue at this rate]
After reading Amiras statement I tried to speed up the rate of condensation by increasing the ammout of energy I take every trip but the mana turned more violent it was like a rampaging beast wreaking my insides.
"Damn if I continue like this I won't make it"
"Amira put all skill points in Mana Manipulation "
[Done]
The moment when I spend my skill points the resistance of the foreign mana lessen to such a degree that now the act of manipulating it was comparable to taking a dog out for a walk if the dog was a mastiff and it had rabies but still it was easier then before.
With every cycle of taking the foreign mana and guiding it towards my heart then condensing it into a marble and repeating the cycle the feeling of a foreign object residing inside my chest increased so much so that the feeling become another hindrance to my task.
"Fu*k" I was unable to stop myself from cursing as sweat ran down my face it was at this point that I regretted doing the ritual in a fire zone but I pushed through and finally after 30 minutes of almost no stop pain the last of the foreign mana was tamed and made into my own mana core.
I opened my eyes and saw myself soaked in my own sweat my clothes were sticking to my skin making me feel uncomfortable and my armor was being kept intact by a single thin thread I looked like I had gone through hell but now was not the time to worry about fashion no now was the time to celebrate my achievements.

"Totally Worth it "
[That it was] I am impatient to try Magic so I quickly get out the hole and close my eyes now I try to feel the mana flowing inside me as I focus I begin to feel a warm fuzzy current flowing from my heart I will the current to flow and gather in my hand the mana was much more obedience now , as the mana gathered I willed it to leave though my hand when it was outside my body it became harder to control but nothing like the ritual , I willed the mana to spin in a circle and condense , when I opened my eyes I saw a ball of fire flotation on my hand , I throwed the ball in the hole and as the fireball hit the ground it caused a small explosion then fire spread around the crater.
