He scrolled quickly through the skill descriptions. While some were clearly built for bat, what truly intrigued him were the first four. These weren’t ordinary skills—they were about reshaping his body, about f his bones, muscles, and cells into something beyond human.
He reopehe skill panel and carefully read through the first three skills again:
[Skill: Titan Regeion (Passive)]Type: PassiveDescription: Titan Regeion allows the user's cells to tinuously regee by abs ambient mana, even in the heat of battle. This ability keeps the user in prime dition, healing wounds without disrupting focus.
Effect:
stah regeion at 2% per sed in bat.
Enhanced out-of-bat regeion at 5% per sed.
Recovery from severe injuries, such as lost limbs, over time.
[Skill: Bone F (Active)]Type: ActiveDescription: els mana into the user’s boempering and permaly reinf them up to the body's natural limits.
[Skill: Muscle F (Active)]Type: ActiveDescription: Infuses mana into the user’s muscles, strengthening and refining them. Each use enhances muscle fibers for either strength or endurance, depending on the user's focus. This enha tinues until the body's natural limiters are reached.
[Skill: Limit Breaker (Active)]Type: ActiveDescription: Refines and stores Titan Energy within the dantian. Once suffitly dehis energy be directed to challenge and surpass the body's natural limiters. If the energy is ie, the user risks losing it. Attempting a breakthrough without preparation result in severe injury or death.
Sora leaned back, feeling a surge of excitement. These skills weren’t about fshy moves—they were about transformation, about breaking through human limitations and reshaping himself. He was f his own body, turning it into a on.
"Let's start with [Bone F]," he muttered, standing up and fog inward. The skill wasn't just about brute strength, it was about refi—eling mana in a way that transformed his bones, making them denser, more durable. He could feel his body respond immediately as he activated the skill.
Mana surged into his bones, flowing in from the air and from his core, settling into the very structure of his skeleton. The process was stra first, almost like a gentle hum vibrating within his bones. It wasn't painful, but it was intense—like a deep pressure slowly building up inside him. He imagined his bones abs the mana, being harder, more resilient with each passing moment.
Curious about the meics of it, Sora focused on the flow of mana. He could feel it entering his bones, breaking down into smaller particles, then merging with the structure. Mana wasn't just reinf the surface—it eing deep, down to the marrow, reshaping the very foundation of his body.
"It's abs a lot of mana," Sora muttered to himself. "But it's effit."
He smiled slightly. The speed of the process was impressive, and he knew part of that was because of his Level 2 [Prestige] . It allowed him to learn and master skills at four times the usual rate. Even so, the process seemed extraordinarily fast.
As he trated further, he wondered ' i guide mana more precisely? I don't want to let it flow freely through my skeleton but direct it where I want'.
He tried it and decided to focus the mana into his arms first, eling more energy into his forearms and hands. His body responded immediately—the buzzing in his arms intensified, and he could feel his bones harden further in those areas.
"It's w," he thought with satisfa. He had trol over the mana's flow, and he could focus it where he he most reinfort.
He adjusted the flow again, this time speeding it up. More mana flowed into his bones, intensifying the transformation. His arms felt heavier, but not in a bad way—he felt the increased density, the strength growing inside his bones. It was as if his very structure was being fortified with each passing sed. He ched his fists, testing the rength, and smiled as he noticed the difference.
'This is better than using training gears for hours !' He thought to himself
But he wasn't done experimenti. Sora shifted his focus to his legs, eling mana there. The sensation traveled downward, and soon, his legs felt sturdier, more capable of handling the intense movements he had pnned. He jumped lightly, feeling the extra weight but also notig the increased resilience.
As the skill tinued, Sora observed the mana flow more closely. It wasn't just being absorbed—it was also being transformed. A small portion of the mana was bei and used to nourish the boructure, reinf it even after the skill was deactivated. That meant every time he used [Bone F], he was making perma gains.
"This css is something else," he whispered, feeling the excitement building. The more he used [Bone F], the stronger his bones would bee over time. He felt like he was shaping himself into something truly powerful—something that would st.
He tested his flexibility, moving his limbs around as the mana tio pour into his bones. Despite the increased density, his range of movement hadn't been promised. If anything, he felt even more banced, as though his body was aligning with the power of the mana, w with it in harmony.
Still, there was more to learn. As the Bone F process came to a temporary stop, Sora analyzed how it had modified his body. He sehat his bones had grown signifitly stronger, but what fasated him was the adaptability of the skill. He could guide it, trol it, even modify how the mana was distributed throughout his body. That meant he could improve any part of the body he wao focus on.
He began running again, feeling the subtle differen how his legs respoo the motion. Each step felt more trolled, his movements more stable, and his body seemed better equipped to hahe strain of high-speed travel.
"This feeling isn't bad" Sora thought, feeling invigorated.
Sora finished experimenting with [Bone F], feeling the subtle shifts in his body. The process had been informative, but now it was time to push forward. The skill in line was [Muscle F], and based on his previous experience, he anticipated this one would be just as iing.
Opening his skill panel, he activated [Muscle F].
At once, he felt the familiar pull of mana as it coursed through his body, this time targeting his muscles. Uhe passive regeive nature of [Titan Regeion], [Muscle F] was active, requiring him to focus on guiding the flow of mana to enhahe fibers in his body. He could feel the distinct way the mana tched onto the muscle tissue, breaking it down slightly, then rebuilding it stronger—much like how intense physical training worked on a normal body.
But this was different. This was accelerated, refined by mana.
As he tinued, Sora noticed something fasating. There lit in the way the mana operated on his muscles, almost like a choice being offered to him. He could direct the energy in two distinct ways: toward Strength or Endurance.
He paused, surprised by this discovery. "Strength or endurance, huh?" he muttered, refleg on the choice. "That's like basic bodybuilding principles."
In his previous life, Sora had seen how people tailored their training to suit specific goals. Some individuals aimed to maximize their raw power, training to lift enormous weights, developing sheer muscle mass. They prioritized strength. Oher hand, there were those who dedicated themselves to long-distance running or endurance sports, aiming to develop muscles that could withstand fatigue for extended periods. These individuals focused on endurance.
The same cept seemed to apply to [Muscle F]. By choosing to guide the mana toward oh, he could drastically alter the type of enha his muscles would undergo.
He tested the first option, fog his mairely on strength. Immediately, he felt his muscles tense and bulk up slightly. The fibers became denser, and the power within eaent intensified. He ched his fist, feeling the explosive strength in his grip.
"So this is the strength path..." he murmured, feeling the raw, heavy power c through him. It was tempting to keep pushing in this dire, but something him. Strength alone wasn't always the answer.
Switg to endurance, he let mana flow into his muscles in a different way. This time, instead of thiing and hardening, his muscles became more estic, more effit. The tension in his body lightened, and though he didn't feel as strong, he could tell that his muscles were now primed for sustaiion. He imagined running for miles hting in a prolonged battle without getting tired.
"Endurance... I feel it. Lighter, smoother... perfect for long battles or running without stopping."
But as he worked through the process, Sora realized there was a third option, ohat hadn't been immediately apparent: bance.
Instead of itting fully to oh or the other, he guided the mana evenly, distributing the bes of both strength and endurance. As the mana seeped into his muscles, he felt a more moderate increase in power. The strength was there, but it wasn't as overwhelming as when he focused solely on it. Simirly, his muscles were more resistant to fatigue, though not to the same extent as when he focused purely on endurance.
"Banced growth..." Sora thought, his mind rag. "It's like training for overall fitness instead of specializing. I won't be the stro or the most enduring, but I'll be versatile."
He sidered this option carefully. Pure strength would make him formidable in cle bat, perfect for overwhelming oppos with raw power. Endurance, oher hand, would allow him to outst enemies, especially in long fights or during interaining sessions. But banced growth... that offered versatility. In the real world, versatility ofte survival.
As his mana finished cirg through his muscles, he felt a sense of pletion. The choice was made—he had chosen a banced path for now, giving him enough power to fight with brute strength when needed, but also the stamina to keep going whetle dragged on.
His muscles were now tempered, more responsive and durable, thanks to the f process. But Sora couldn't help but wonder if he could switch between these paths iure, perhaps by specializing in one during a specific training sessiht.
"There's so much potential in this css," he muttered, wiping sweat from his forehead.
The process of [Muscle F] was fast for him, thanks to his high mana quality and the advantage of his Prestige skill, which quadrupled his learning speed. He could feel the mana reshaping his muscles more effitly than a normal pyer could ever hope to achieve.
Yet, despite the speed ress, he khere was more to discover. He'd just barely scratched the surface of what [Muscle and Bone F] could do. The challenge would be to see how these skills synergized with the rest of his abilities, including the new ones he had yet to fully explore.
Satisfied with the initial results, Sora flexed his arms, feeling the power and flexibility c through him.
