Chapter 7 - 006 [Extreme Transformation]

Chapter 7: 006 [Extreme Transformation] At last, Shane still didn't choose to turn around and leave. To avoid sleeping out in the wild full of demons, Shane decided to endure the smell. Rather, with the smell being so strong here, it should cover his scent just fine and prevent any demons from finding him. Shane continuously kept an eye on the responses from the "Enemy Detection" skill feedback in his mind, so he could be aware of if any demons came looking. But as he kept watching... "Grrrr~~" Without any surprise, Shane's stomach started growling frantically, draining all his strength. "Now that I think about it, I haven't eaten anything all day..." Though in the forest, Shane had gulped down a lot of water thanks to a small stream he found, he hadn't had anything besides water today. "I'll starve to death at this rate..." He needed to find something to eat. But in a place like this, what could he possibly find to eat? "Do I really have to go out hunting? Competing for survival with demons in the middle of the night?" The thought made Shane feel uneasy. The next second, Shane turned his head silently and looked to the side. There lay the body of a Demon Dog. Shane tightly stared at the Demon Dog's corpse, and after undergoing a series of complex internal changes, he sighed deeply. "This second life's start is ridiculous!" After saying that, Shane resignedly picked up the Holy Sword and went to the Demon Dog's side, cutting off chunks of its meat. To fill his stomach, now was not the time for disdain. "Anyway, the Holy Sword can resist negative states, I don't have to worry about poison." Shane decided to bite the bullet. Of course, eating raw was impossible. He could never eat demon meat raw in this life. In order to cook the hard-won meat, Shane left the cave, collected some dry twigs from the nearby bushes, piled them up, and skewered the demon meat. As for the fire, there was no need to worry about that. Before dying, the Demon Dog unleashed a fierce blaze, igniting nearby weeds, and those weeds were still burning slowly now. With local materials, Shane successfully lit a campfire, cooked the Demon Dog's meat, and put it in his mouth. "Terrible..." The bitter expression on Shane's face was like chewing wax. But without salt, soy sauce, or any condiments, it seemed natural for the cooked meat to taste bad. Moreover, chewing wax was better than eating dirt, and ultimately Shane stuffed his belly full. Afterwards, Shane extinguished the campfire, buried the remains and the Demon Dog's carcass with sandy soil, and finally returned to the cave to find a comfortable spot to lie down. · Passive skill. · Enhances recovery capabilities and the effects of recovery-type abilities. · Provides some resistance to instant-death attacks and abilities. · When unable to maintain life signs, by consuming Magic Power, life signs can be forcibly continued. ========== "Extreme Transformation" · Active skill. · Directly affects the life level. · When used, enhances all abilities, with effects determined by the amount of Magic Power consumed and the skill's level. ========== Each of these skills was very useful. Especially "Undying" and "Extreme Transformation." One allowed Shane to maintain life signs even when completely submerged in a swamp, ensuring survival even without breathing, serving as the ultimate lifesaving skill. The other was Shane's first active skill, enabling him to achieve superhuman feats, like jumping to the top of a tree ten meters high in one leap, truly astonishing. It was this skill that made Shane feel a power he had never experienced before. That power was Magic Power. It seemingly was the force used to wield skills and Magic. By consuming this power, Shane could use active skills like "Extreme Transformation" and "Undying," which required Magic Power consumption, truly a dreamy force. And by utilizing Magic Power, Shane also gained the "Magic Guide" and "Magic Recovery" skills. ========== "Magic Guide" · Passive skill. · Drastically enhances Magic Power. · Drastically enhances the effects of Magic. ========== "Magic Recovery" · Passive skill. · Consumed Magic Power automatically recovers. ========== These two skills made Shane finally feel that he was indeed different. Feeling Magic Power and using it made Shane realize he had truly entered a world of swords and Magic. This caused Shane to finally feel a bit of anticipation. "I wonder if I can use Magic?" With this expectation, Shane encountered numerous demons, knocking down quite a few, thoroughly adapting to combat, and gradually settling into life in the forest.
