After the fight with the bear I went into mind down. I am lucky I am inside the cave because I don't know what or who will think of me as their little midnight snack. It's the tenth day and I am really scared after the fight with the bear. I realised how weak I am. The bears carcass still lies there. I am so hungry but I don't plan on leaving this cave anytime soon if I am this weak. I eat until I find it's magic core. I eat the magic core and I feel a surge of magic flowing through me. I once again pass out. I wake up once again. I have grown too. It is the same as last time, let me check my stats real quick.
[Species: nebula dragon]

[Skills: claws 4 [level up], scales 4 [level up], bite 2 [level up] speed-enhancement 2 [level up], bloodlust, fast thought processing, parallel thought processing, berserk, fear inducing aura, great-sage, self-regeneration 3 [level up], charm]

I have grown to around three and a half meters, I think I evolved twice. As good as that seems I want to train more. And become stronger and stronger. The greatest thing I was lacking in was my magic power. I conjure a star, it glows brighter then when I made them before. I throw it against the wall and it explodes on impact, leaving a hole in the wall. That never happened before? Seems like it already got stronger, but it also costs dubbel the amount of mana now. What if I submerge my body in mana? Will it start to upgrade my mana capacity? Never hurts to try, using parallel thought processing I can focus on both the mana "aura" and doing other tasks, the fact that the bear has dubbel my health makes me feel weak. How am I supposed to train that? Hitting myself with my tail. Duh?

It seems like I am slowly starting to become stronger and stronger. It's not enough tho. I need more power! When I look at my body I realise I am quite skinny. I decide to do push- ups and sit-ups. But they are quite hard with this body and my body cramps up a lot. I train and train and my body slowly gets muscular. I peel of all my scales so they regrow harder. I want to become strong. What if I just become insanely good at magic? Maybe then everything becomes easier. I begin to meditate, the next stage is dark red. I see my bright black manacore and the dark red particles floating throughout my body. I can move those particles around in my body, but it takes time. After a few hours half of my manacore has become red. My mana is also steadily increasing
[mana: 350]
That's a really big upgrade from last time. It is not close to enough to. I meditate some more but I begin to feel tired. I still need to do a quarter more but first, food and sleep. I eat from the bear replenishing my energie and I head to sleep. The next morning I wake up happy. Today is the day I'll become dark red stage. I eat a small bear portion and instantly begin to meditate. It would be cool if I could manage to get mid red stage today. With this new motivation I start to see myself killing a bear easily. The particles are being moved around fast by me because I have much energy to spend. Almost I break through to the dark red stage. Just a few more particles.
BOOM!
I exploded? I am not hurt neither are my surroundings. Oh wait I broke through to the red stage? I guess that happens when you reach a new color. I am so happy I got here, but I am not done yet. I have Atleast half a day remaining. I meditate but I get scared. Why are there so many particles… Well I'll just have to hurry then. Oh wait, can't I do it twice was fast using parallel thought processing? Well let's try that. With the new found "cheat" I begin to move around the particles insanely fast. In a few hours I am mid red stage. I decide it's time to go outside and take revenge on a bear… Wait first how much mana have I gotten?
[mana: 500]
[regeneration: 25 mana every minute]
Damn, I have really gotten much stronger. I run around and all I see are marias and forest wolfs. Using my stars I easily wipe them out. Now where is this bear I hear roaring? There it is. Behind those trees I say a bear eating poor little marias. I rush at him. I conjure a star and shoot it at it. It explodes on impact blowing off its behind legs.
[Hp: 600/1000]
Wow, I really have gotten stronger. I could easily kill it now but do I want to do that? No, I am going to torture it to it's death. Sweet revenge! I conjure weaker stars on purpose. Shooting them at the poor bear. Inflicting pain, but dealing close to zero damage. After torturing it for a good fifteen minutes it's completely immobilized and crying. I laught to myself, I have completely gone insane. I have to regather myself and start to think rationally again. I kill the female bear releasing it from her pain. As I am eating her mana core, three bears suddenly approach. I probably killed their woman. I couldn't really care less about their loss and decide that I am going to kill them too. I have to be merciless if I am ever going to become the strongest being alive!
[title [merciless] acquired]
[merciless: gained by being a menace to the world. Buff: health times two]
Wait so what is my health now? Around 1500 then, that's way too strong!
[Hp: 2000]
what?! That's insane! I have double the health of bears? Am I really that strong?! Maybe my training did pay of. I shoot stars at the bears, 3 for each killing them all of.
