Back at his camp Lucires sat around a burning campfire, while holding a massive leg sliced from the hunted cervilume roasting it over the campfires flame.
Thinking about what altos said about his ability, 'like a demon huh, I guess demon exist here, and the way he described elemental sprites it should be important in this world' thinking more and more about it, that it's starting to give him a head ache. This is why he needed to enter a town or even a city, he needed more information about this world.
And the first impression he made in this world, left him being branded as a demon. A not so great start in this world that look like in medieval times with magic and skills, and heck even gods might exist here.
He stopped thinking about it, and a started focusing on practicing his ash manipulation. This would be his first step on obtaining information and also his first step in getting rid of his past as an assassin, a blade made only to take lives.
He started by slowly converting the ash back to its original form, magicules the building block of this world, and slowly absorbing it while also stopping the ash that he passively released from escaping his body. And when he was about to succeed in absorbing all of it, something went wrong and the magicule he absorbed suddenly went berserk.
Feeling like he was about to explode from the rampaging magicule in his body, he didn't hesitate for long and released it toward the surrounding. And before a second passed, a small explosion happened.
*Boom*
As his body released a huge mix of magicule and ash toward his surrounding, destroying a huge amount of trees around him leaving a small crater of about twenty meters in diameter with a depth of half a meter.
Lucires looking around the crater as sweat covered his back, thinking about what would happen if he didn't react fast enough, he shivered. The ground would have been painted red, with his flesh and blood splattering on the ground.
He shortly stopped his training to recover from almost hugging death a second time, and slowly walked back to his camp. Thankfully he made some distance before deciding his training, reaching the camp
Slowly sitting down, while slowly eating the roasted meat slightly dripping with oil, after having his fill, he started another round of self-mutilation to control his ability. And as the sun was about to reach its peak without any progress, Lucires is starting to think about what is the problem, as when the magicule was about to be absorbed, it always wanted to break free like a dog in a leash.
'wait, maybe my approach is wrong, instead of trying to compress it inside my body, I should let it flow inside me, like how blood flow in the body' Lucires immediately put his thoughts into action. Slowly he inhaled the surrounding magicules leaking from his body, but instead of compressing it, he slowly and steadily let his magicules flow inside his body from his heart to his head and limbs, and back to his heart letting it flow with the beat of his heart.
As the sun was about to set, he managed to make it flow almost instinctively, although he still needed to let a small part of him to pay attention. And as the voice of the world rang on his ears he let a sigh of relief escape his mouth.
[Notice. Extra skill [Mana Heart] acquired]
[Mana Heart]: give the user a magicule core inside the heart granting increased magicule manipulation, magicule regeneration, and magicule resistance.
For the first time since coming to this world, and encountering setbacks after setbacks he finally did it, he grasped the chance to changed everything, the chance to move away from his past and start over.
Lucires didn't even noticed but a small smile graced his handsome face, as he walked back to his camp to get some rest.
Waking up in the morning feeling refreshed, he slowly packed up including the cervilumes corpse, with its magicule still flowing in its meat, it still looked and smell fresh.
Lucires ready, started following the road he walked to arrive in Ardenshire, but this time he passed the town knowing that even if he controlled his magicules, there's still a chance being seen by the guard and reported. So walking passed Ardenshire, and following the dirt road hoping to enter another town.
