A young man who looks to be the age of 10 is hanging from a tree in one hand as he lifts himself onto the tree. His hair goes far down his back, and his blue eyes shine with a light blue tone.
"It's been six years on this island, Sage, I'm beginning to think no one is ever coming," I said, feeling sad due to the constant feeling of loneliness, even Sage didn't help much, he had this empty void in his stomach that couldn't seem to be filled by anything.
It's been about 6 years and 120 days
"God, I guess I'm lucky enough to have lived this much, thank you, Sage," Akashi had said as he was thinking back to whenever he first woke back up from falling asleep and didn't stop staring at the ring on his finger for hours.
Sage was able to help Akashi by forcefully moving his body by activating his different neurons and forcing his body to do things like dig up sand and build a shelter, but after Akashi had woken up from sleeping after staring at the ring, he felt like a new man, not much sadness or much of anything.
Sage was a lot helpful towards Akashi for the first three days on the island, but since Akashi already understood the basics of everything, he must know the basics of all hunting skills and Cooking skills.
"Sage, what is the best technique to begin to circulate mana into my mana pill to enhance the progression?" I had asked since just a couple of days ago, I had turned 10.
The Mana Heart Technique consists of taking out the heart of a beast or human that has mana in its body, then you absorb the Mana of the heart that is in your hands, but if used too many times will make the user go crazy.
"If I use this technique, could you stop me from going crazy?" I had asked Sage in the hope that it might be able to help me progress faster in its evolution.
Theoretically, Yes
"Good enough for me," I had said with a smile on my face
I had once again looked down at my father's ring, which was now mine. I placed my hand on the ground, hoping to try and hear a creature, but there was nothing but wind. I heard a small squeal behind me as I channeled a little bit of Mana into my leg, kicked back, and looked down to see a small creature. I looked back up, and there was no tree.
"Sage, where is the tree I was just standing on?
You didn't control your mana well enough and released too much, so whenever you kicked back, you kicked the tree into the air. Everyone's mana starts very strong, but unless you learn control, you will end up losing a lot of mana every time you do a mana-related attack.
"Oh, how much mana did I use with that kick?" I had asked with my mouth open in shock at what Sage had just told me.
Approximately 37 Percent, Sir
"Wow, that was way less than I thought it would be," I had said to Sage while thinking it was going to be in 60 or 70.
I leaned down and grabbed the small creature, which looked like it would be the size of an avocado. I grabbed the sharp dagger that Sage made for me during the first day, cut open the creature, and grabbed its heart, as it began to beat right in my hand.
"I'm sorry, but I must survive and make it home to my mother, so you have lived long enough," I had said as I pulled its heart out as Sage began to say.
Ergency, Cultivate it now, or Mana with dissipate from it slowly if you wait.
As I listened to sage, I got down cross-legged in the sand and began to put my hands together with the heart in the middle of my hand as I began to close my eyes and only feel as i felt energy begin to dissipate from the heart, I pulled it toward my way, I do not know how fully but it was just another thing I knew the basics of from Sage.
After about 45 minutes of cultivating, my mana pill was one-third black, and I felt amazing.
"Sage, why do I feel so good, like I could stay up for 100 days straight?" I asked Sage after feeling so energized.
Whenever a person of mana absorbs more mana into their pill or just their body, because creatures can do the same, but they can purely live off mana, humans are the only ones that, if they run out of mana, can still live and just reabsorb that mana but that is mainly because a human is born through different means than most creatures of mana.
