Chapter 163: Hidden occupation

Shane was unsure how late it was, but after opening his eyes with great difficulties, he could see sun rays shining through the window, brightening up the large room he was currently in.

Sitting up, he looked around, not knowing where he was and what happened, when his memories flooded him.

Goosebumps appeared on his whole body when he thought about the pain he had to endure and the large number of messages that had appeared during that time.

When his flustered mind had calmed down, Shane noticed that his exhaustion had disappeared and all the earlier traces of pain had left his body.

On the contrary, he felt energetic which confused him as he decided to take a look inside his body to figure out what was going on.

Though his cultivation didn't increase, what he saw inside his mana pool told him that everything was real and not a dream.

A small blue glimmering seed was situated in the center of his mana pool, absorbing the mana in his surroundings, while at the same time filling his mana pool to the brim.

Thanks to the filled mana pool, Shane felt very energetic, but if he was not wrong, his mana pool should still be empty from before, because he hadn't practiced the mana gathering technique after they had left the elemental crystal cave.

This was suspicious, even if it was something beneficial, and Shane decided to look at the system's notification log to know what had happened.

' [Artemis' proposal]? The world seed requested to enter my mana pool?...'

After reading through the few messages once again, fear emerged within him and he couldn't help but frown asking himself what would happen if his world seed blossomed and started to enlarge within his mana pool…

'Will the world seed start absorbing my mana and turn me into a cripple? It shouldn't, right? Artemis what the hell did you do to me?....Since when can blessings create such chaos….?'

Shane didn't know what else he should do with his messed up mind and instead of being too afraid, his passive skill [Hunter's mind] helped him to remain partially calm.

Continuing to read the system notifications, he noticed that he had received a new title, which he immediately inspected.

[One with the World(Unique)]

After becoming one with the soul-bound world, the host is able to utilize everything within the world.

→|Mana absorption| Activate/Deactivate soul-bound world's mana absorption.(Minimum absorption rate has to be supplied to blossom the world seed in the stated period. Without enough mana, world seed's blooming period will be prolonged and eventually cause it to wither)

→[Regulation] Host can regulate the mana absorption and decide how much of the world's continuously absorbed mana should be transferred to the host's mana pool.

→[…] Locked

→[=?=]]

Reading through the title's effects, Shane was left utterly dumbfounded because the whole title seemed surreal to him, and he had to think about it for some time before he was finally able to take control over his emotions again as he mumbled.

"So, this means that I have to remain in areas with a certain amount of mana until I awaken my soul-bound world's mana heart to supply itself with mana, otherwise, it might wither? That's a slight disadvantage, but I don't plan to go somewhere without mana either way. Other than that, Aunt Kia's intel seems to be right...Once I create an ecosystem inside the Hidden Paradise, I should be able to use the air inside it to breathe freely, wherever I go… Furthermore, this [Regulation] ability should also become pretty useful once I'm in an area with enough mana for the world seed to absorb.

As long as I don't prolong the blooming period, I can passively absorb mana for myself, right?"

With this thought in mind, Shane wanted to test out everything which caused him to switch his [Berserk-Hunter] title with the [One with the World(Unique)] title in order to be able to exert the title's abilities.

One could only use one title at a time and had to switch between them to use either.

After he changed his title, he took a look at his status panel.

_______________

The [World] section in his status was new, but nothing out of his expectations, because he would have to take a look at his world once in a while to see if everything was going according to the plan.

Activating the [Mana absorption] effect, he felt a huge suction force within him, which absorbed all mana particles in a large radius around him, except the mana in his mana pool.

Seeing this, Shane nodded his head because this was a thought that had been bothering him.

If activating the mana absorption effect would absorb the mana within him, he would be unable to fight with his full combat prowess.

However, this was not the case and it was extremely beneficial for him. Shane activated his mana gathering technique to take a look at how many mana particles had it absorbed from his surroundings.

His eyes widened when he noticed that the mana particles outside the room he was currently in were forcefully squeezed through the wall, window and metallic door.

Apparently, he was still close to the colosseum, where most mana generators were situated, whose mana particles were absorbed by his world seed almost immediately.

Other than that, he noticed that his world seed started to absorb every single mana particle, even those it couldn't utilize right off the bat.

The world seed began to store the mana it couldn't use at the moment for times where the surrounding mana was too scarce to absorb even the minimum amount.

This was extremely good, and Shane couldn't help but praise the system to have created such a function for the world seed, because he could even enter manaless areas without being afraid of destroying his own world.

Unfortunately, he couldn't continue absorbing the mana just like that and had to regulate the world seed's mana absorption to allow other students to replenish their mana too.

Shane felt that his world seed could absorb much more mana even if it couldn't utilize everything at once under its current circumstances.

If he understood everything correctly, it would take some time for the world seed to adjust to its new surroundings before it would be able to absorb more mana. As such, its mana demand would rise exponentially, which was neither bad nor extremely good.

It was not bad because he didn't want to stay on Igra for long either way but not good either because he would be forced to stay inside the Primordial Dimensions if the required mana for the world seed to blossom was too high.

After the world seed would blossom, it could sustain itself without much mana. However, further growth was probably the bigger issue as it would most likely require lots of mana.

As such, Shane spontaneously decided to enter the Primordial Dimensions soon to activate his world seed's mana absorption continuously in order to store enough mana for the time when he would have to return to Igra for whatever reason.

'To put it simply, the World seed's [Mana absorption] ability is extremely powerful and even allows me to use its mana if wanted, which might even be beneficial for my cultivation process...However, it might even attract powerful beasts in my surroundings when they sense the strong mana suction force...That means I should either venture into a weaker Basic-Dimension or ask someone to accompany me…'

Thinking about this, Shane continued to read through the notification, when he noticed something which caused his eyes to widen involuntarily.

"Huh?"

[Condition met-->World seed bound! Hidden occupation forcefully revealed]

[?Name?) (==?==)]

1)Innate Skill [Taming]→[Common ★★/Uncommon ★★★]

2)Soul bound world size in diameter→[0m/10,000 meters]

3) [Hidden]

4) [Hidden]

"What is that bullshit??" Shane subconsciously uttered barely noticing Aunt Kia enter the room, only to hear him curse loudly.

Seeing that Shane was fine caused her to sigh in relief, and she just decided to ignore his outburst as she asked

"How are you feeling? Does the world seed cause any pain? I thought that you woke up when the mana particles in the surroundings were forcefully drawn over to my room."
