Chapter 10: Chapter 10 – Worldly Energy and the First Win

About 6 days later, Jake woke up with great eagerness. Today was the day he would be able to learn energy sense (2/10).

Looking at his arena points at 4.8, he needs 20 defeated battles until he reached 5.0.

Jake quickly entered the arena and started the battles.

Compared to his first battles he had, Jake felt his opponents were becoming smarter and stronger. Though thankfully, he was becoming stronger faster. It seemed it wouldn’t be long before he could defeat an opponent.

After his 20^th battle, Jake wasted no time and quickly left the arena, and entered the training space and went to unlock energy sense (2/10).

Do you wish to spend 5.0 arena points to unlock energy sense (2/10)?

Jake mentally said yes. Then he quickly went to learn it.

Beginning the energy sense (Level 2/10) training.

Jake then saw a thick book called ‘Sensing Worldly Energy for Giants’ appear before him and wasted no time reading it.

The more Jake read the more he became intrigued. The writer of this book was an ancient undead lich who had compiled and improved millions of ways of sensing worldly energy. It then separated the best for each race.

The book he had was for giants, and it seemed the system considered him to be part of the giant race, even if he was also a monster.

The book stated everyone was able to sense worldly energy, but some require a specific way. The book also stated that there was a time limit to sense worldly energy before a certain age just like the knowledge about he read about before. The time limit for giants was around 10-25 years, which according to the book, was very long for a lifeform.

When Jake understood he still had years to sense worldly energy, he visibly relaxed.

After reading through the entire book that listed thousands of ways to sense worldly energy, Jake picked one that had the highest success rate.

It required him to use his vital energy to feel the worldly energy. It also recommends closing off his other senses as much as possible. Another recommendation is to be in a high worldly energy area, preferable with energy that he has high affinity with.

While he didn’t know what his affinity is good with, was the system would put the best training resources when he was training, so it would likely put it for him.

Jake also hadn’t been idle in the training space in the past. Moving vitality required him to concentrate and ‘will’ the vitality to move. Although he couldn’t control vital energy perfectly, it was enough according to what he had read.

Jake shivered and remembered when he had sent the vital energy outside of his body before but quickly lost his life doing so. Thankfully he revived, but it seemed to also cost him an hour of time, just like dying in the arena.

Now reading the technique to sense worldly energy, it repeated states not to let the vital energy leave the body, and just concentrate it on the skin using willpower and concentration.

The book also repeatedly states to allow the vitality to return to normal after 10 minutes and try again in an hour or longer, or there will be damage to the body in some way. Jake also knew this when he played with his vitality before, but the training space healed his body after each try.

The sensitivity of the skin greatly will be greatly increased by vitality and hopefully, allow the lifeform or giant in this case, to feel worldly energy.

Feeling worldly energy once, just like vitality, will allow him to sense worldly energy anytime he wishes.

After getting everything, Jake was ready to sense worldly energy and said the key words to enter.

Feelings all his senses nearly all removed, Jake calmed himself down and prepared.

Jake first moved as much vitality as he could to his skin, which took him 15 seconds. After 10 minutes Jake then felt the damage occur but ignored it. All can be healed after each try after all.

After 13 minutes and feelings nothing but his body about to break apart, Jake stopped and said heal and the training space healed him back to normal.

Afterwards Jake tried many times and lost track of time. Jake even had the thought that maybe this way wasn’t for him, and he might have to try something else.

That was until he felt something on his skin. Jake felt confused at first then elated, was this worldly energy?

He had read that most lifeforms who feel worldly energy at the beginning would feel indescribable pain in the brain because it was a sense that isn’t natural and pass out. This is because brain would have rewire itself to sense worldly energy properly and also why there was an age limit to sense worldly energy because the brain can’t change itself after a certain age.

Jake waited and soon it started. He started feeling tingling in the brain. The tingling kept increasing and soon became unbearable. Jake felt like he was being bit by thousands of fire ants in the brain and had to endure it as it became worse. Thankfully, the mental stability skill helped him greatly and allowed him to continue.

After 2 minutes the pain was removed and suddenly Jake sensed something on his skin that was different from before. It was hot, cold, and weirdly even warm, and it covered his entire body. Jake felt fascinated, was this how worldly energy felt like, or just the worldly energy he had affinity to.

Though he was quickly interrupted because he had his senses return and the energy around him became ‘moderate’, or at least he compared to before. It seemed that he left that training area filled with worldly energy.

Though that didn’t stop his happiness. Jake because he was a step closer to becoming a mage! He couldn’t wait to experiment with worldly energy.

Jake first removed the vital energy from his skin since it was stated he could feel worldly energy now without it, but more importantly it was because that would take most of his concentration.

Though after letting the vitality flow back to normal, he realized that while he could feel the worldly energy it was weak, like a breeze that went by.

That annoyed him as two choices were given, to sense worldly energy greatly but not being able use much concentration on anything else, or to barely sense worldly energy but have full concertation.

Well, it seemed he had to make do for now and try both, and experiment on how to control worldly energy. Checking the time left, he had about 3 days and 8 hours, this took much harder then sensing vitality.

 

After a while, Jake went from fascinated to bored.

He was able to control the worldly energy after a little of testing. It seemed just like vitality; worldly energy could be controlled by concentrating and ‘willing’ it.

While he couldn’t see worldly energy, he could control the energy he felt near his skin. Though that was the problem, the only thing he could do is move the worldly energy on his skin.

Though whenever he brought the energy inside his body he was injured and a lot of blood vessels exploded, most likely because his physique couldn’t handle it, after all he had read in the fundamentals of energy (1/10) (main point 3 he made) that he needed a powerful enough endurance (part of the physique) to withstand the energy. He wasn’t sure when that would be.

Jake also wondered when he could get energy sense (3/10) and be able to see energy it required 50 arena points!

Energy sense (Level 3/10) – Gives the ability to see the energies flowing through the world. (Locked – unlock requirements - 50 arena points)

For now, he could only control the worldly energy on the skin, and nothing else. Jake spent the remaining time to see if he could do anything else but saw the familiar message pop out after a little.

Daily time in training space has finished, automatic exiting will commence in 3, 2, 1

After seeing he returned felt the worldly energy around him. It was different from the training space there were a lot of more energy that felt cold than hot or warm.

It also seemed that he didn’t need his brain to transform like in the training space to sense worldly energy. Though no matter it was better this way, maybe he would learn why in the next system manual.

Jake then remembered he had four matches left in the arena and went to finish them; he needed every arena point.

 

About 5 days later in the arena, Jake climbed a tree and grabbed a vine. After testing if the vine was suitable, he cut a portion of the vine with a sharp stone and tied the stone he had to the vine.

Then Jake looked for a suitable area to ambush his opponent. He soon found a large tree which was twisted near the top and decided it was nearly perfect.

First, he brought large amounts of stones nearby and placed them down on the floor near the tree. Jake then brought all the weapons and rocks he needed and placed them up the tree where he might need them. After finishing Jake waited for a few moments before he saw his opponent emerge.

It was a giant bear which had a large horn.

Jake waited until it was close enough before he threw 8 large rocks at it. His aim was much better than before and managed to hit the bear 5 times. This quickly angered the bear and made it climb the tree as quickly as possible.

The was exactly what he wanted. Jake kept going up the tree and throwing rocks he set up at every branch. After he reached the top, the bear that was a few branches down was exhausted and battered.

Jake then threw the largest stone so far, but unfortunately it also didn’t make the bear fall, but thankfully it blinded it in one eye. Jake then grabbed the stone connected with the vine and started spinning it.

When he saw the bear one branch below, Jake attacked aiming right at the head. The exhausted and blinded in one eye bear didn’t have a chance to block the attack. The attack caused the bear to let go of one hand from the tree, and Jake didn’t miss that chance.

Jumping down, he used his body weight and aimed his legs at the bear’s neck. The attack thankfully connected, and the bear couldn’t hold onto the tree with just one hand and fell. Jake on the other hand, hit his back on the tree hard.

After a while, Jake recovered and looked down. He saw the bear on the ground in the area where he placed the stones. It was bleeding and unable to stand. Jake quickly went down the tree and looked for the stones he placed on the tree. After finding enough stones, he went up as high as he could and started throwing the stones.

This also allowed the stones to gain more momentum as they fell hitting the bear harder. Before he could finish throwing all the stones, his surroundings changed back to the training space, and he saw a message.

You have defeated the horned bear (baby).

Jake who was still using the mental stability skill, quickly removed it. First, he was staring blankly at the message, then he started crying, finally he defeated something!

After a while, he regained his emotions and remembered something he checked the time he had left in the arena and saw he had 3 minutes. This was strange because that fight was his 24^th arena match. It seemed that if he won the fight, he wouldn’t lose an hour. He then quickly checked his arena points that changed from 1.23 to 1.33.

Seeing the arena points, it seemed that winning a fight will give him 0.10 which was 10 times as much as being defeated.

Seeing he has a minute left he quickly entered another arena fight.

He then fought one more time and lost. Though it was a close fight. It seemed he would soon win fight after fight by how he was advancing.
