Caleb was improving with every battle, becoming more skilful and creative with each monster he defeated.
Most of the creatures he faced weren't humanoid, but they provided excellent training nonetheless.
Each mana core he harvested and absorbed brought noticeable, albeit gradual, improvements to his strength, speed, stamina, and senses.
[Mana core: 99.56%]
[Strength: 355 → 360 units]
[Speed: 350 → 359 units]
[Stamina: 405 → 420 units]
[Domain sense: 500-meter radius → 520-meter radius]
[Intelligence: 1000 units → 1110 units]
The intelligence stat influenced his ability to use skills and spells—determining how quickly and creatively he could wield them in combat.
'I might have unlocked my full genetic potential, but to grow even stronger, my cells will need to evolve… and mana seems to be the catalyst,' Caleb thought with a faint smile.
