Chapter 5 - (chapter 5: fear)

Now I can finally put up a fight against maybe an bear or something, they still scare me tho. I leave the cave that I call home. I am getting hungry again after all. I walk thru the trees and find a path made by other animals. I sniff but all I can smell are the pinewood trees. From the wolfs I gained two new skills:

[bite]

[bite with a greater force then your normal bite]

[bloodlust]

[any fear inducing type of skills are ineffective against you]

Bloodlust may be an debuff since I loose my natural ability of fight or flight. But this may cause me to win some battles and do some irrational stuff that I would do otherwise. Anyways back to searching for food. I find a small pack of Marias. Once they used to be a great threat but now. Now I might stand a chance. Or this is just the bloodlust skill in effect. I conjure a small star. It's still rather weak and isn't big at all too. Before it explodes I throw it, sticking in to the back of an Maria's and the star explodes killing it.

[+5 mana due to mana usage]

Now I have 30 mana in total with 25 remaining. Meaning I can still conjure five more stars, but there are still about twelf Marias left. That is a big problem, I only generate 1 mana every minute. I can kill five Marias right now but how am I going to deal with the other seven? I will kill five Marias and think about it in the mean time thru parallel thought processing. I conjure a star shoot it at a marias and it explodes. They all pounce at me, but I enfuse my legs with enhancing my speed. This costs another 5 mana and now I only have enough to three more leaving eight marias. Using mana I eliminate another three marias turning my mana to zero

[alarm, alarm. Mana is at 0. Risking mind down]

I really don't know what kind down is nor do I care

[mind down is a trance that can happen when you have 0 mana putting you to sleep until your mana is fully restored. Letting other entity's be able to do anything while your in this state]

Yikes, I really should get my mana to zero ever again, but now I still got to deal with the remaining eight bunnies. My mind starts to get blurry, this must be the effect of mind down. A marias jumps at me and bites of my paw and another bites of my tail.

Am I going to die already?

[Hp 23/100]

I throw them of me and all the marias jump at me. I am already accepting my face and close my eyes, but before they kill me I feel the whole ground shake underneath me. I open my eyes. It's a bear, I have to flee! I really don't want to die. I grab one Marias with my jaws and run back to the cave. The bear notices me and runs after me. I have to run about five more minutes until I reach the cave. Three out of thirty of my mana had regenerated already, it's slow I really have to train that in the near future! I see the cave and I jump in, not even a second later I hear a loud smack. The bear ran into the opening, it's way too big to fit in. His head is inside of the opening and slowly he gets further and further but he is kind of stuck. I quickly eat the marias to enhance my regeneration and mana regeneration. My tail and paw slowly start to regrow and after they have regrown my mana starts to regenerate too. I conjure a star and throw it at the bear. It does close to nothing. I decide to check it's stats.

[Species: forest bear]

[Manacore: sealed]

[skills: bite, slash, fear inducing roar, jump berserk]

[Hp: 950/1000]

Berserk?

[the more the users health drops the stronger they get [pasive ability]

Well that's OP isn't it? I really don't know what to do right now so I sit there thinking

[fast thought processing ability unlocked]

Well that will help a bunch. I decide to wait for the bear to break thru and then rush over to where the marias bodies lay. I'll use all my current mana to hit it whilst he is stuck. I really focus putting all I have into this star saving 6 mana. I hit his head

[Hp: 650/1000]

He is almost at half his health and I feel like I can win, lost in thoughts the bear suddenly manages to cramp thru the tight entrance. I swiftly run around him and leave the cave. Using speed enhancing I am quite fast and I don't have to run for that long until I arive at the marias slaughtering. I eat two marias whole refilling everything and I feel as good as new. I run back to the cave and head inside preparing to be instantly blown away, but no no the bear is actually sleeping. Softly I approach the monster and jump on top of him biting down on his neck while infusing myself with mana. I will use my nebula magic and create a exploding star, yes I will self destruct but I will survive with a bit of health and the surroundings take way more damage. After the bite, I realise my jaw is quite strong

[Hp: 450/1000]

BOOM! I explode using all my mana hoping that was enough to kill the bear. I head into mind down.
