15 Days Later,
A monstrous roar echoed through the dense forest as six more creatures joined in, forming a circle around me. It seemed they were attempting to capture me, but I had no intention of letting that happen. I activated my magic, channeling all seven elements at once, and eliminated them swiftly.
The first monster was struck by a high-temperature fire whip, which coiled around its body and pierced through its flesh, killing it instantly.
For the second, I launched an air bullet—50 times faster than a sniper's shot—that blasted through its head, leaving no chance of survival.
The third was sliced in half by my water cutter, its body collapsing in two clean parts.
Next, I summoned Rock spikes that pierced the fourth monster's body with twenty brutal punctures.
For the fifth, I used plant magic to grow vines that wrapped around it, using the creature as fertilizer.
The sixth was electrocuted when I unleashed a bolt of lightning through its body, turning it into a charred husk.
Finally, the seventh monster froze in place as I froze the oxygen molecules in its body and surrounding air, killing it without letting it even twitch.
Then, their boss appeared. A massive Gorgog, wielding a heavy rock mace, charged at me with brute strength. However, I was faster. Drawing an iron sword from my storage, I infused it with prana, making the blade glow brightly. With precise, controlled strength, I sliced through the boss, ending the fight.
These were the Gorgogs I had encountered while wandering the forest. They were infected with abyssal energy, which explained their aggressive behaviour. After using appraisal, I received detailed information about them:
Name: Gorgog
Rank: B
Description: A frog-like bipedal monster with a muscular, greenish body covered in slimy, rough skin. Known for extreme aggression and a heightened sex drive, which drives them to dominate their surroundings.
Size: 7-8 feet tall
Abilities:
1.Lethal Leap: Can jump great distances, causing shockwaves upon landing that damage and knock back enemies.
2.Sticky Tongue: Uses its long, sticky tongue to ensnare and immobilize targets from a distance.
3.Frenzied Rage: When heavily injured, its strength and speed increase dramatically, though it becomes reckless and loses control.
4.Toxic Secretion: Excretes a poisonous liquid from its skin, slowly weakening nearby enemies.
The boss was an even stronger Gorgog, slightly larger and greyish-green, ranked A. I uploaded the monster bodies to the game shop and Disgusted by their appearance I had to wash my hands with water magic, and headed toward the lake. Where I had built a small house using both Plant and Rock magic. It had become my base of operations while I trained to master all my powers. After three days of intensive practice, I gained perfect control over every element of magic, except darkness. With my imagination as my only limit, my nearly infinite magic power allowed me to conjure and shape anything.
I can also cast support and healing magic with full power now, which I tested on monsters. I even tried resurrection magic, and it works perfectly, but I don't plan to use it often. Messing with fate by reviving people here and there isn't a good idea. Healing, on the other hand, is incredible—it can cure any disease, heal any wound, and even regenerate limbs.
Next, I moved on to training with prana energy. Unlike magic, prana felt like the opposite—a surge of raw power that made every cell in my body stronger. The more prana I channeled, the more my body glowed, and my physical strength increased exponentially. Combining prana with magic was difficult, but I kept practicing, determined to master both.
After mastering energy control, I focused on martial arts. I upgraded the basic martial art book into the ultimate martial art and weapon mastery technique. Now, I know 150 offensive and defensive techniques, plus their counters, totaling 300 styles. I've memorized them all and practice them daily while channeling prana. I can use any type of weapon. I love using Sword, Spear, Bow & Arrow and a Mace. Using a Mace made me think that I am some kind of monster myself. Since I didn't had any Mace and Bow & Arrow, I made them Magic.
Using Rock magic, I summoned Adamantite metal—a rare and powerful metal—and forged a magnificent bow and arrows, which took a massive amount of magic. The bow had a majestic feel, with an Adamantite string that was nearly impossible to pull, but my strength made it effortless. When I pulled back the string and released it, it sounded like a thunderclap. Once, I enhanced an arrow a 100 times with support magic while imbuing both prana and fire magic before shooting it. The result was devastating—the arrow obliterated a 3-kilometer radius, sinking the ground by several meters. The sheer destruction shocked me, and I made a decision to never use that much power again. Now, I stick to normal wooden arrows with iron heads, occasionally enhancing them with magic or prana.
I could only materialize substances using Rock Magic if I had seen them before, and the rarer the material, the more magic power it required. Once, while wandering near a lake, I found a red-golden pebble. I thought it was some kind of gemstone, but when I used Appraisal, I discovered it was Adamantite—a highly rare metal on this planet. Adamantite is an excellent conductor of magic power, though heat cannot pass through it. It's also far heavier than any other metal, with exceptional durability and density, making any weapon forged from it a "God-Class" artifact.
Reading this information left me in awe. Eager to experiment, I tried summoning it using Rock Magic. At first, nothing happened, but after a second, a massive surge of magic power poured from my body, and a chunk of Adamantite appeared on the ground before me.
While training, I discovered two important things:
1.My EXP increased even when practicing or meditating. Physical exercise, martial arts practice—anything that tested my body—boosted my level.
2.Plant magic allowed me to grow any plant I wanted, regardless of climate. However, if I cut off my magic, plants not suited to the environment would die after a day. As long as I kept my magic active, they flourished.
With this newfound ability, I grew almost every food ingredient I needed, meaning I could make meals like I did on Earth. This discovery made me extremely happy—my food problem was almost solved.
I made flour by using a rock mill, which I easily rotated with strength, and I also extracted oil using a large rock pestle and mortar. Since I don't have knowledge of modern machinery, I had to rely on these traditional methods. For the salt, I was stumped at first, but then I tried using Rock magic to extract it from the ground, and it worked! I realized that salt is part of the Rock, so it fell under the effect of Rock magic. I can even generate saltwater by using water magic since the ocean water is a type of water as well and that falls under water magic as well. So, I don't have to worry about my salt supply.
One day, while training, I was wondering about this world and then I decided to use appraisal on the world itself. The first attempt only told me information about the sand beneath my feet, but after focusing more, I uncovered the planet's details:
Planet Name: Vasundhara
Era: Medieval, with slight technological advancements.
Geography: Sprawling forests, towering mountains, expansive deserts, and mysterious oceans. The planet is ten times the size of Earth.
Inhabitants: Various species, both mystical and ordinary.
Notable Locations: Mountain ranges 3-4 times the size of Mount Everest, large waterways, enormous forests, and even floating sky kingdoms.
I learned that I was currently in the Jambu continent, which was divided into four kingdoms. There were even underwater civilizations in this world. The vastness and fantasy of this world astonished me, and for a moment, I longed to explore it with my family and friends. But the reality was that I had to continue this journey alone, searching for a way back home. This thought made me sad, but I slapped my cheeks and regained my confidence. I began practicing again.
After a while, I returned to my small lake house. I'm no architect, but I built a simple room, a kitchen, and a bathroom with a bathtub. I made the toilet outside, separate from the house. Sometimes, I sleep outside, and when it rains, I use support magic to create an invisible shield around the house. Watching the rain is quite relaxing.
Despite the peace and comfort of this place, I knew I couldn't stay here forever. Two problems weighed heavily on my mind. First, I needed to find a way back home. Second, I was missing something important—dairy products. I couldn't make milk, butter, or ghee here, and I desperately needed milk for my morning tea. I loved black coffee, but black tea? No, I needed that creamy richness of milk. Without ghee I can't make most of my favorite sweets.
I realized I had to leave this forest and venture out into the world. But before I could do that, I needed to complete my training. My strength and agility are now on par with when I used the ultimate battle gear, but my energy, defense and intelligence are much higher. My intelligence is now at 130 points and at 125 points I had unlocked the skill "fast thinking", it's really helpful to make decision and I feel more confident with this skill. I can control my strength and body perfectly now, but I'll need to practice more with the battle gear since I might need to use the Veerbhadra identity and I didn't want to cause trouble by accidentally overdoing it while wearing that outfit.
When I was about to remove my Ultimate Battle Gear from my shop inventory, the rain began to pour down. Since it was the middle of the day, I thought, "Let's make a snack. Nothing beats Pakoras and Tamarind Chutney in the rain." Luckily, I had all the ingredients in my storage, grown by plant magic.
For Pakoras, I needed potatoes, onions, green chilies, gram (besan) flour, cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric powder, salt, water, and olive oil. For Tamarind Chutney, I needed seedless tamarind, jaggery, cumin seeds, red chili powder, salt, and water.
I headed to the kitchen to gather all the necessary cooking utensils, then stepped outside. I wanted to cook outdoors, under the rain. I had already cast a barrier so the rain wouldn't disturb me, and it would also prevent the smell from attracting any monsters—I didn't want to end up fighting while making my meal.
After setting up a fire outside, I began preparing the snack. First, I decided to make the Tamarind Chutney.
҉҉҉҉
Tamarind Chutney Recipe:
Soak tamarind in 1 cup of water for 30 minutes. Mash it to extract the pulp and strain it. In a pan, mix tamarind pulp and jaggery. Cook on medium heat until the jaggery dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly. Add roasted cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Let the chutney cool.
҉҉҉҉
After preparing the chutney, I set it aside to cool and started working on the Pakoras.
҉҉҉҉
Pakora Recipe:
In a bowl, mix gram flour, cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric, and salt. Gradually add water to make a thick, smooth batter. Add the sliced onions, potatoes, and green chilies to the batter. Mix until the vegetables are well-coated. Heat oil in a deep pan. Once hot, drop small spoonsful of the batter-coated vegetables into the oil. Fry the pakoras until golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain the excess oil using paper towels.
҉҉҉҉
After preparing the Pakoras and Chutney, I quickly made myself a cup of black coffee. Using plant magic, I created a comfortable wooden chair and table. I placed the Pakoras on a plate, poured the chutney into a small bowl, and sat down to enjoy the view of the rainy forest. The rhythmic sound of raindrops hitting the leaves and the soft patter on the lake created a calming atmosphere, making me feel connected to nature. The cool, damp air brought a refreshing sensation, while the scent of the wet forest floor and wood seemed to heal my heart. The scenery in front of me was deeply peaceful and fulfilling.
I picked up a Pakora, dipped it in the chutney, and popped it into my mouth—it was delicious. I couldn't help but think how much better this moment would have been if my family or friends or games or even my novels were here. But what could I do? It wasn't in my hands. All I could focus on now was finding a way back.
I even missed my masala tea—it would have been a perfect match with the Pakoras. I had to look for milk once I got out of this forest, along with some clothes. Sure, I could wash myself and my clothes with purification magic, but I really didn't like wearing the same clothes every day.
Now that my little break was over, it was time to get back to practice. I retrieved the Ultimate Battle Suit from my shop inventory. Before equipping it, I decided to use Appraisal on it. As I cast the spell, a detailed description of the gear appeared before me. Everything was exactly as I had customized it, including the dramatic and meaningful names I had chosen:
>Great Warrior Divya Armor – Mrityunjay
>Great Warrior Divya Shield – Krishna
>Great Warrior Divya Sword – Shivansh
>Great Warrior Divya Spear – Rudransh
>The Divya Ring of Enlightenment
All of them retained the same incredible abilities I had assigned, and each piece of equipment was soul-bound to me, meaning no one else could use their powers. Even more impressively, they were linked to me in a way that I could summon them at will—if I so much as thought about having the Shivansh Sword in my hand, it would materialize instantly, bypassing any obstacle in its way. The same applied to the rest of the equipment.
The Divya Ring of Enlightenment was particularly unique. It granted me a massive intelligence boost of 40 points and possessed the invaluable skills of Curse, Magic & Skill Nullification. Not only could it cancel any curse or spell cast on me, but I could also reflect them back at the caster with just a thought. When I decided to wear the ring, something unexpected happened—it merged seamlessly with my body, becoming completely invisible to the outside world. If I ever wanted to remove it, it would reappear at my command.
Wow, this is so cool, I thought, admiring its seamless integration.
After confirming all the details about my battle suit, I finally equipped it. Instantly, my status soared to its peak—strength and agility increased by 100 times, and my intelligence went up by 170 points. Along with the stat boost, I unlocked a temporary skill: Parallel Thinking, which allows me to focus on multiple things simultaneously while working or fighting. With enough practice, I'll be able to make this skill more efficient. With the suit now equipped, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation. This wasn't just gear; it was a responsibility. Power like this could change the course of battles, perhaps even the fate of this world. But would it be enough to help me find my way home?
Now it was time start practicing with both magic and martial art so I can control my power.
3 Days Later:
I was sitting on a rock, with two mountains of Gorgogs corpses beside me, including the bodies of two Gorgog bosses and three Sky Serpents. Early this morning, as I was about to make coffee, I heard noises near my house. Concealing my presence, I went to investigate. What I saw were two Gorgog bosses fighting each other for dominance over their group. Checking my map, I noticed three Sky Serpents lurking nearby, waiting for the fight to end.
Though I could have easily killed the Gorgogs, but it was an entertaining show in the morning, so I focused on the Sky Serpents. Using my wind magic, I unleashed a silent, overpowered Wind Slash that cut through the three serpents. This technique creates a blade out of wind by manipulating gas atoms, allowing me to attack with precision without giving away my location. I can shape the slash however I like, and no one can detect where the strike comes from.
Returning my attention to the Gorgog bosses, they were using giant rock maces and their immense strength in a brutal fight. Occasionally, they'd coat each other with some sort of body fluid. Their flying kicks were impressive too. I pulled some snacks from my storage and enjoyed the show. To spice things up, I cast some buff and healing magic on them, and the fight grew even more intense—a punch, an uppercut, a kick to the gut. It was a brutal, exciting match.
After some time, one of the Gorgog bosses died after taking a direct hit to the head with a rock mace. The fight ended sooner than I expected, but I chose not to use resurrection magic—I shouldn't use it for entertainment. The surviving Gorgog was celebrating his victory when I cancelled my concealment. As I appeared in front of them, all the Gorgogs were shocked at first but then rushed to attack me. With a single thought, I used Wind Slash to finish them off.
Now, as I was uploading their bodies to the shop, I thought to myself—I've finally gained full control over my powers. It's time to venture outside. While uploading the Sky Serpents, I used Appraisal on one of them:
Name: Sky Serpent
Rank: A
Type: Flying Serpent
Element: Ice
Threat Level: High
Habitat: High-altitude mountains, cloud-covered regions, and frozen skies.
Description: The Sky Serpent is an agile, flying predator with a sleek, serpentine body. Its scales shimmer in icy hues, and it strikes with blinding speed. Known for its deadly venomous bite, this creature can also unleash devastating ice-based magic. Highly intelligent and extremely fast, the Sky Serpent is feared for its cold, calculating nature and its ability to freeze opponents' mid-air. This monster has become stronger with abyssal energy and think any other species other than his own his enemy and attack them. They live in a group and use battle tactics to fight their enemies.
This Sky Serpent is a powerful monster, and its intelligence makes it even stronger than most other Rank A creatures. However, it's still nothing compared to me. I would have spared its life if it hadn't been infected by Abyssal Energy. This forest is filled with Abyssal Energy-infected monsters, though I've come across a few creatures, like rabbits and lions, who are not infected. I didn't harm them—they have their own abilities to fight and defend themselves. Initially, I considered taming some of them, but I realized it would be a hassle to take care of them, keep watch, and transport them from town to town. So, I dropped the idea.
Over these past three days, I've leveled up 10 more times, reaching Level 40. Now, I have full control over myself, even while wearing my ultimate battle outfit. The Parallel Thinking skill has proven to be more useful than I first thought. I can now perform multiple tasks at once, splitting my mind into two separate portions that work simultaneously. This not only increases my thinking speed but also allows me to solve problems from two different perspectives while keeping track of other things during work or combat. My mental resistance has also improved significantly.
After collecting all the dead bodies, I returned to my house and began packing. Most of what I packed were cooking utensils. Once I was done, I marked the location on my map with a house symbol, maybe I'll come back here to relax someday. If I do, I'll bring a better house design and create something more permanent. This place has become tied to my memories. Seriously speaking I didn't want to leave this place but finding a way back home is more important and I also want to explore this vast world.
