Adventures Of A Goblin

Chapter 8 Mana Manipulation Skill Acquired



I can feel it..., It is rotating just around my chest....

hmm....., I feel a thin hosepipe attached to what seems like it's entrance...

If there is a hosepipe, there has to be something passing through it, the question is, what is it?.....

I should trace where the hosepipe connects to if I want to know what substance it is passing.

hmm...., This hosepipe is longer than I thought....., I think I am getting closer to the end of it....., The deeper down I go, the wider it seems to get...,, I might reach the end at any moment nowwww....

what....the.....hell, This is impossible....., What end of it am I getting to?...,, I thought I was getting to the end, whereas I was still at the starting line.

I can only conclude now that this hosepipe, does not have an end.

What I felt as i traced it further down is the hosepipe getting splitted and spreading like branches across my body.

It is like a vein that carries blood from the capillaries to the heart, except this one's carries an unknown substance from that circled stuff to its branches that ends up distributing it to God knows where.

This won't do....,

If things keeps up like this, I won't get tangible information from it. Is there no other way for me to know what it is?...

think, think, think..., I have to think of various possibilities of what it is..., It is not something I had as a human, but as a goblin...

hmm....., Is it a characteristics belonging only to the goblin race?....., If so, what is its functions?...

Think..., Think....,, What can it be used for?....,

What difference is there in my body as a Goblin and my body when I was a human?.., Even though I am a Goblin infant, I seem to be stronger than an average human child,

The proof of it is me being able to strangle a wild dog that is three times my size. That is definitely not normal.....

Plus, I can use skills and have a system that shows me accurate assessment of my body. Not to forget, meditation that allows me to know what is going on with my body is also not doable as a human but I did it instantly as a goblin.

Thus are all feats that cannot be accomplished in the body of a human..,, To have done this, my body had to have had some kind of booster that makes it possible....

Perhaps, that circled warm feeling I am getting in my chest is what is acting as the booster, it also has a hosepipe that spreads all around my body....

The hosepipe should be the link and the circled feeling the carrier...., Hmm...., If I forcefully activate the carrier, I might be able to figure out what it does.

Upon activation, the carrier will send out the substance through the hosepipe, and the hosepipe will further spread the substance to every part of its branches,

At that moment, I am certain that my body will give out some sort of reaction due to being exposed to unknown substance stream.

But how do I force it to activate?...,

I should first think of it like I am opening up the lid of a bottle.....

It worked!...., I think....

[Ding]

[core link has been established]

[Mana Core Lv 1 has been formed > an object where the users Mp is stored]

[mana storage limitations > 70]

i see now, that is where the Mp I use for activating my skill is. just what I was looking for. Mp, I am going to need you to do a lot of things from me starting now.

I once again forcefully activated the core and concentrated my focus on circulating the Mp around my body rather than let it pass through the hosepipe.

I can feel the struggle of the hosepipe trying to let the Mp pass through the normal route it uses but I wasn't going to let that happen.

If it passes through just that route, the Mp will only ever be used for skill activation and that is not what I want,

Being able to use skills is a good thing but it is not the direction I want to head in,

I prefer placing my trust on my body rather than the use of skill.

The hosepipe sure is hanging on tight, In that case, I will have to flood it.

[Mp > 70-69-68-67-66-65-64-63-62-43-32....]

almost there....., Almost..., Done...., Damn that hurts like crazy.....

I successfully managed to force the Mp to circulate to my body parts, but in doing soon so, I overflooded the hosepipe and it burst inside of me.

When it busted, I felt a chill permeate through every corner of my body, Like pouring water on a burnt feet. I assume that was the Mp raining over my organs.

This will not do...., Now that I have successfully disconnect the hosepipe from the core, I need to create a new pipe.

One that is not just connected to the use of skill but that leads to the other parts of my body that helps in body building.

A new pipe is also necessary to avoid overflow of the Mp when I want to use a skill.

Without a pipe, there will be no acting guage for the Mp usage and thus leading to an overutilization or underutilization of Mp whenever I use a skill.

Since I have no idea how the measurement of the Mp is determined for skill usage, I will have to use the former hosepipe as a reference for the new hosepipe I am about to make.

Alright, here goes nothing..., I just have to imagine forming the hosepipe that leads to where I want it to lead to.

"....."

[users action has been recorded, a new skill has been formed]

[skill > Mana Manipulation has been awakened]

[Mana Manipulation > A skill that allows the user to freely control the flow of mana in its body, the user now also has control over how much mana can be used in the activation of other skill].

Ho....ly Shit.
