Chapter 9 - Tiers And Proficiency (1/2)
Still Seated on the ground, I exhaled slowly and opened my eyes, inadvertently causing the world of color to fade away back to its normal state. Then, trying to reign in my ever-expanding excitement, I took a few more calming breaths before diving into the bundle of floating notification panels that Tobs had thrown in my face upon my level up.
-Your body has adapted to having Mana Infused into it-
-Your Mana Codex has Solidified-
- First Tier Mana Circuit Formed-
-Your Tier 0: Mana Breathing Skill has Evolved into Tier 1: Mana Cycle-
-New Daily Quest Available-
Without wasting another second, I pulled up my Daily Quest Log, and the first thing I realized was that Tobs had adjusted the Mana Breathing daily quest into one involving my new Mana Cycling skill.
-Daily Quest: Cycling Mana – Incomplete (repeatable)
-Since your body now has a Codex, you can cycle your Mana through it and out into the rest of your body through newly formed veins called Mana Circuits.
-Since these veins are newly formed, and the Host has an Infantile body, Mana must be circulated to open these paths fully.
- Each successful Cycle will further open and strengthen these veins.
-Since both the Host's Codex and Mana Circuit are newly formed, the process should only be completed once daily. Any further use at this time will cause serious side effects.
-Quest task will be updated once 100 Cycles have been completed
- Completed Cycle 0/1
-Reward's – 20 Essence (XP),
+ 0.1 Points to Mana
+ 0.1 Points to Vitality (Upgrades to HP and Stamina will occur upon full Point Completion.)
Completed Cycles- 0/100
I exhaled the breath I had been unconsciously holding as I finished reading the new daily quest. While Tobs had told me about what a Codex was, the daily quest informed me how to utilize my Codex and placed a limiter on Cycling my Mana through my newly formed circuits.
It was about the time I finished reading that a startling realization went through my brain. 'WAIT, the first daily quest of drinking mothers' milk is gone. This means that once I complete both daily quests, I'll be receiving 25 XP and .01 points to both my Mana and Vitality Stat. So every ten days ill be increasing both my Vitality and Mana by one.' I tapped my index finger on my chin as I thought about this before continuing.
Between the Daily Quest information and the comments from Tobs earlier, there was no need for me to examine my new skill too profoundly. Both of my new skills were pretty self-explanatory; Mana Sight allowed me to see and feel the ambient Mana in a range of 5 meters. Meanwhile, Mana Manipulation gave me the ability to shape, bend and utilize Mana.
I did notice how Tobs had forcefully activated my new ability, which brought me back to the realization I had when I started using Mana Breathing some time ago.
Instead of being required to use a skill, all I had to do was think about activating it, then Tobs would take over from there and start it for me. So while there were pros and cons to this type of activation, it wasn't necessarily challenging to adapt.
With that out of the way, I moved on to my new Panel. The Active/Passive abilities tab. Looking through each ability's information briefly, Tobs informed me that when I had been focusing on my own body, I'd obtained the ability to see Mana as well as move it due to having both of these innate abilities in my bloodline.
Both of which I had inherently done when I conducted my little experiment earlier.
